"Hey mom?"
"Yeah kiddo."
"Who was that guy, really?"
"I'll tell you later."
Rory looks at the ground as they continue walking, then looks up slowly at her mom.
"He's my father isn't he..."
Lorelai stops and looks down at her daughter in shock.
"How did you-"
"I'm ten, not five. I can figure things out."
"You are way smarter than any ten year old, kid."
"Yeah, well, you raised me, its a shock to us all."
"Hey!"
"Sorry, sorry. You are very smart mom."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
They walk a little bit more until they get to the bookstore, they walk in and look around.
Rory looks at a few books, after reading a little of one she finds interesting, she stops for a moment and looks at Lorelai. "Why is he here?"
Lorelai looks up from her magazine. "Huh?"
"That guy, my father, why is he here?"
"He says he wants to be apart of our lives."
Rory slams the book shut and walks closer to her mom. "You aren't gonna let him right?
"I don't know."
"You can't mom. He hasn't been around for ten years. You can't let him come back now."
"Rory, sweetie, I don't want you to worry about this okay."
"Okay, but I don't want to meet him again."
"Why not?"
"Because, he's never wanted to get to meet me before, why now?"
Lorelai puts her arm around her daughter, they walk out of the bookstore with no books purchased for the first time.
"I don't know honey...I don't know."
The scene ends with the girls walking further down the sidewalk until they turn the corner and can no longer be seen from a distance.
A two story house, with trees surrounding it. Its a tan, yellow color with brown shutters. The front lawn is decorated nicely, with flowers and other plants lining the front walkway leading to a long front porch and a swinging chair.
Lorelai sitting on the couch, watching T.V. Rory walks out of her room and enters the living room.
"Mom?"
Lorelai mutes the T.V. and looks over at her daughter, who begins to walk towards her.
"Hey, what are you still doing up?"
Rory sits on the couch next to her mom. She nervously moves her feet back and forth.
"I couldn't sleep...has that guy called you yet?"
"No, not yet, why?"
"I was thinking...maybe...I could..uh, talk to him."
Lorelai turns the T.V. off so that her full attention is on her daughter.
"Now you want to talk to him?"
"Yeah...sort of...are you mad?"
Lorelai moves closer to Rory and gives her a hug, then moves her daughter's hair from her eyes, making her look up at her.
"Hey, of course I'm not mad at you...if you really want to talk to him..I guess that would be okay."
Rory can tell by the tone in her mother's voice that she isn't completely okay with her getting to know her dad.
"Are you sure?"
She gives her a fake smile "I'm sure..I mean, he's your father after all, you should get the chance to talk to him."
Rory jumps on her mom, giving her a big hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You're welcome, now it's really time for you to get to bed."
"Can I stay up to see if he calls?"
"No sweetie, I don't think that-" Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of the doorbell, they look at each other in confusion.
" I'll go see who it is,can you try to fall asleep please?"
"Sure.." She hops off the couch and walks up to the part of the stairs behind the wall, peeking curiously to see who's at the door.
Lorelai moves off the couch and makes her way over to the front door. She opens it to see Chris standing on the opposite side.
