A/N - In episode 4x13 – (Nag Hammadi is where they found the Gnostic Gospels) Liz says to Lorelai – "Maybe if I'd sent Jess to Luke a little sooner?"
In this story she did. Jess is 15 and Rory is 14 when Jess comes to stay with Luke, how will this affect the Gilmore Girls' lives?
Prologue - Lorelai's POV
"What do you want?" Luke asked in his usual gruff voice. We were sitting at our favourite table in Luke's diner having an after work/school snack.
"Coffee, and…" I pondered for a second "Donuts!"
"Ooh, yeah, cinnamon please Luke." My 14 year old daughter Rory pulled her nose out of her book and grinned up at him.
"I want chocolate and sprinkles," I smiled a little flirtatiously. Luke just rolled his eyes and walked away.
I watched Luke as he poured coffee into two mugs and pulled a plate from under the counter. He was just going to pick up my donut when the phone rang. I groaned.
"Yeah I'm working." Luke grumbled into the phone. "What do you think I'm doing? Uh huh. Uh huh. Oh man, what did you do?" Rory and I exchanged glances and I got up and walked to the counter.
"Excuse me? Are you serious?!" Luke was getting annoyed, his fists were clenched and he was trying not to yell. "Just like that, huh?"
I could see this might go on for a while so I slid behind the counter and helped myself to the donuts. A kid sitting at the counter watched me incredulously.
"This is unbelievable!" Luke shouted, "You won't ever change, will you?" I felt sorry for whoever was on the other end of the phone.
"Ok, fine. Do what you want. Make the arrangements. Now, I'm working, we'll finish this later!" And he slammed the phone back into the cradle. Everyone in the diner was staring at Luke, open-mouthed.
"Is everything ok?" I asked, slightly worried.
"Do you have a sister?" Luke growled.
"Um…no?"
"I do." The kid sitting at the counter piped up.
Luke turned to him, "You have my sympathies!"
"Thanks," the kid smiled, "I appreciate that!"
Luke nodded then stormed out, up the stairs behind the counter to his apartment.
"Whoa," Rory muttered when I returned to the table. "What was all that about?"
"I have no idea," I stared at the curtain that hid the stairs to Luke's apartment.
