Chapter 1: The Encounter
Naomi Lila Gilmore made her way, in her mom's old pick up truck to the grandparents she never knew, huge house. She was coming to the elder Gilmore's because she needed money, to pay for her mother's funeral and find an apartment in Seattle, both of which weren't easy for different reasons. She knocked on the door and the maid answered. Naomi looked so much like her mother who had the incredible Gilmore traits that the maid let her in without question. She was then led into the dinning room by the maid where she saw her grandparents and a woman and a teenage girl about her age.
"Miss Naomi Lila Gilmore," the maid announced not paying attention to the effect the name had on her employers.
"Who?" Emily Gilmore asked in shock, she couldn't believe she had heard that name. She hadn't heard that name in about 17 years.
"Naomi Lila Gilmore, or do you need a hearing aid, grandmother," Naomi said mocking Emily Gilmore. Lorelei Gilmore was shocked at this.
"What do you want?" Richard Gilmore asked with disdain.
"Me? Oh I just want to live in a nice house, with nice parents, and a dog if available," Naomi said taking on a harsh tone.
"What are you doing here? Is your mother here?" Richard asked taking a softer tone.
"No she isn't here. But you wouldn't know that would you? You didn't even bother to check in on her or me. You helped us with nothing, you were never there. What do I want? I want you to help pay for my mother's funeral and give me some money to buy my own house," Naomi said getting a little hysterical, but calming down in the end.
"What? Laura's dead? What happened?" Emily said in shocked voice.
"What do you care? Now will you help me or not? I need to get to a job if you aren't," Naomi informed them.
"She was our daughter, how did she die?" asked Richard in a stern tone, only to be met with Naomi's icy stare.
"Like I said what do you care? If you'd checked up on us you would know that she had an abusive husband that killed her when she didn't make dinner warm enough," Naomi returned in cold voice.
"What do you mean?" Emily demanded.
"My mom had abandonment issues, guess why. She wasn't great in the guy department so when my dad stayed around when she got pregnant she married him. Then after she had me he turned abusive. You don't want to know all the details," Naomi informed then.
"What's this about your daughter, and granddaughter Mom," Lorelei asked.
"Oh dear," Emily breathed.
"Lorelei you had a twin sister, Laura, and we weren't ready for two children at the same time so we put Laura up for adoption, the youngest of you two my a minute. We didn't keep in touch with her because you proved to be a handful and we had to focus on you," Richard clarified.
Enraged with the answer Lorelei replied, "Don't you dare try to blame me for your obvious mistake. Why wasn't I ever told of her? You and mom could've kept in touch with her, all you had to do was not go to so many parties or plan so many dumb meetings, and you could've done a hundred times more than what you've done for this girl. We're leaving, and you will pay for Laura's funeral in Stars Hallow," she said as she got up and grabbed Rory and Naomi and led them to the door.
"Where are you taking me?" Naomi asked confused, only a handful of people had ever stood up for her and she hadn't seen them in years, and the last person was dead.
"I'm your aunt right? I'm not going to have you going god knows where, or get into the custody of Emily and Richard Gilmore," Lorelei replied giving Naomi a smile.
"Thanks," was all Naomi could say.
"Listen Naomi hear me out, I was wondering if you would want to bury your mother in the Stars Hallow cemetery, it would be easy to go to if you would agree to come and live with my daughter Rory and me," Lorelei proposed.
"Yeah it would be fun, just so you know we are two crazy people, and we would take care of you," Rory interjected.
"If it's not too much trouble, I guess I could stay. I have all my stuff in my mom's truck, and her body is in Seattle I was going to have it sent down anyway. It should get here next week," Naomi assessed.
"Well I would like to welcome you to Stars Hollow and you can call me Aunty Lore, and guess what we are having this cool dance marathon that I'm going to compete in and win, in about two days, want to come?" Lorelei asked.
"Sure, Aunty Lore, but where am I going to sleep?" Naomi pointed out the obvious.
"Well you could sleep in my room, until we clear out the junk room," Rory offered.
"There's my future Harvard graduates mind at work," Lorelei commented rather loudly.
"Thank you so much, I don't know what to say," Naomi meekly said, she was still surprised to say the least. She had never expected to be taken in by anyone of the Gilmore family.
"Don't worry kid, it's the least I can do. I never knew I had a twin sister, it would've made living with those two dictators easier," Lorelei muttered as she took the two girls to their home.
