Okay, so this is my second story! I have been writing it for about...3 months now. I started this one right after my other posted story, We Three Kids of Stars Hollow, but after one or two unposted ones. Hope you like it!
Summary: Post Season Five. Luke says no to Lorelai's proposal. Devastated, Lorelai contacts Mike Armstrong. She doesn't sell the inn, but is sent to Paris. A month later, she finds out she's pregnant. She tells Mike and he relocates her to New York. After a long inner debate, she calls Rory t otell her. The two met for lunch to talk and forgive each other, finally understanding what the other went through. Lorelai, despite Rory's arguement, doesn't tell Luke. Now 17 years after she left, Lorelai's twin daughters come to visit Rory from there home in London. Here, the girls met the father they never knew and gain a whole new understanding of their mom as life as they knew it is completely turned upside down.
Chapter 1: To the Hollow
Marley and Maggie Gilmore followed their mom into the airport. They walked up to the security station together. Their mom, Lorelai, couldn't go any further. Lorelai embraced each of her daughters tightly.
"Now call me when you get in. I already in. I already called Rory and Eric and they know where you are and aren't allowed. I'm going to try and fly in sometime at the end of the week." Marley looked at her mom again.
"We aren't allowed somewhere? What is it a strip club because we can pass as 18 easy." Maggie laughed at her sisters joke. Lorelai didn't find it all that funny.
"Don't moke. But now that you mention it, no Queen Victoria's either. God, those Long Island Ice Teas cause one major hangover." Maggie was confused now.
"How would you know? I thought you only evr lived in Hartford?" Lorelai looked paniced.
"Yeah, well...I use to party. We use to sneak in." Marley narrowed her eyes, but let it go. Just then, the girls' plane started to board. With one last hug each, Lorelai sent her girls off to the place she ran from.
Lorelai had made her share of mistakes in life, but her biggest was running. She had run from everything. She had to start over and just when she was in the clear, she was drawn right back in. But she never considered her daughters mistakes.
Watching her daughters retreating backs, she couldn't help but notice what a perfect mix the twins were. They were identical in looks yet not even close in personality. They both had brown curly hair, were tall and petite and had the signature blue eyes and coffee addiction.
Maggie was just like her. Crazy, fun loving and a touch insecure. But Marley was all Luke. Grumpy, cautious and had the ability to see right through her. Lorelai sighed and ran off to catch her own plane to Paris.
Several hours later, the girls were sitting in airport chairs playing cards. They were so involved in the game that the didn't see their 9 year old neice and 5 year old nephew, Liza and Ev running at them. Liza was short for Lorelai Elizabeth and Evan wasn't short but it was Evan Matthew in formal terms.
They only noticed as the two kids flew into their laps. Liza had a death grip on Maggie. Evan Evan was hugging strong enough to make Marley choke. Rory and her husband Eric strolled up, Rory holding nine month old Lily.
"Well, look what the cat drug in all the way from Jolly old London." Rory smiled at her twin sisters then frown.
"Where's mom? Is she here or did she bail again?" Marley shook her head but Maggie answered.
"Mike called last night because he needs her at one of the new inn's in Paris. She flewout a little after us. She did promise to fly in to visit at the end of the week though."
Rory nodded. Her mom was avoiding Luke. she could tell. Her mom had visited 4 times since she left. She had come when Rory got married and when each of the kids were born. All the other times, her and Eric had to go to her. Wherever she was. Her mom had been all over. She was pretty set in London now, but she had also lived in Paris, New York City, Los Angeles, Adelaide and Beijing.
"Well kiddies, why don't we get home. I know a lot of little kids who can't wait to meet your aunts." Liza released her death grip, as did Evan. Eric, Maggie, and the two kids went off to get the luggage. Marley went to follow her, but Rory stopped her.
"How's mom been?" Marley sighed.
"She's the same as always. Avoid a places she's been to about 4 times, yet she know exactly where everything is and all the names. She tries to hide her past, but I can see right through her. Like the whole 'where we can't go thing'. I was joking around about sneaking into a club and she named a specific club off the top of her head. Then when I nailed her on it, she got all paniced. It was so weird."
Rory nodded. "You've got the gift my friend. Maggie got mom's snow sense and you got your dad's ability to see right through mom."
Marley's ears perked at the mention of her dad. Her mom had always told her she didn't know who it was. She and Maggie finally broke her down, but she wouldn't tell them anything. Marley craved to know more. Did he even know he had kids at all?
"You knew dad?" Rory shifted the baby nerviously
"Kind of. He was like my dad growing up." Marley's brain was going a mile a minute. Rory knew her dad. As she went to ask another question, Maggie, Eric and the two kids reappeared carrying the girls mound of luggage. Rory laughed at the amount of bags.
"Yup, definitely mom's kids." Marley and Maggie just shrugged as they left the airport. Marley and Maggie lagged behind.
"Mags, Rory knows our dad." Maggie looked at her twin.
"But mom doesn't even know who it is. You don't think..." Maggie trailed off as it hit her. "Mom's been lying?"
Marley nodded.
"Mom's been lying." They followed their sister and family out of the crowded building, both not getting why their mother and best firend had lied. Little did they know...this was just the beginning.
Well, there's the first chapter. Its just the beginning of the girls new understanding of Lorelai. Next chapter has Babette...that can't be good! Please Please Please Review!
