Chapter 1

It was a rainy night that night Chris left Lorelai and a very distraught Lena. They had just a had a fight that Lena over heard that made her scared and go running up to her room to call Carmen.

Lena watches Chris leaving the house while she's on the phone... ''Carmen I don't think he's coming back'' she cries into the phone ''it's going to be ok Lena I will come over right after school tomorrow as soon as I can just stay on the phone until you fall asleep'' Carmen says

There's a knock on the door

Lorelai opens the door

''it's late hunnie I thought you were asleep already who are you on the phone with?'' Lorelai asks her

''Carmen'' Lena says

''ok hun tell Carmen you will talk to her tomorrow it's time for bed now'' Lorelai says

''ok mommy...Carmen I have to go to bed mommy says I'll talk to you tomorrow'' Lena says

''ok bye Lenny''Carmen says (that's what they decided Lena's nick name was going to be)

''bye carmen'' Lena says and hangs up

''good night hun try not to worry about your dad kido ok we're going to figure things out I love you sweetie'' Lorelai says and kisses Lena's forehead and helps her get comfortable

''night mommy I love you too'' she says and she closes her eyes and hold's colonial clucker tight

Lorelai walk's out and shuts the door

A few minutes later there's a crack of lightening and a loud roll of thunder that it scares Lena so she gets up and grabs colonial clucker, her pillow, and her favorite blanket and head's upstairs to climb on the bed next to Lorelai

Lorelai feels movement in bed bed

''hunnie go back to sleep in your own bed'' Lorelai says

''no mommy I don't want you to be sad and lonely and I'm really scared of this storm'' Lena says

''come here'' Lorelai says and rolls over and sits up and get's Lena under the covers and puts her arm around her

Lena feel's safe and warm and closes her eyes and goes to sleep

Lorelai smiles and goes to sleep
