I don't own anything except my own character Jenny so leave me alone!!!
Jenny stretched as she smelled her mother's coffee early that next afternoon. Jenny hated coffee like her dad much to her mom's disapproval. She rolled over and glanced at her clock and then snuggled even deeper into the covers. That's when she heard a thud in the kitchen and a yelp from her mother afterwards. She smiled to herself her mom was just about as graceful as you could get. Jenny lifted herself from bed and slid her feet into slippers by her bed then opened her door into the kitchen. That's where she found her mom sitting on a kitchen chair holding her foot while trying to drink her precious coffee at the same time. Jenny smiled at her trying to hold in a laugh then walked over to the fridge to grab some orange juice.
Lorelai- Oh yeah it's real funny to see your poor mother in so much pain.
Jenny- Only because it happens almost every morning mom. What will I do when I have my own place and won't have my little alarm clock.
Jenny pats her mom's head as she says the alarm clock part then sits next to her mother at the table. Lorelai sticks her tongue out at her daughter as she takes another long gulp of coffee. Jenny just smiles and drinks her juice.
Jenny- Are we meeting Rory at dad's this morning again?
Lorelai- Of course, unless you plan on starving any time soon.
Jenny- Hmm, nope not today. I'm gonna go get ready.
Luke looks up when he hears the bells jingle over the door to his diner named, Luke's. He sees his grandchild Benjamin run in followed by his other grandchild Alex. Benjamin was four with dark hair like his mother's but had green eyes like his daddy. Alex who's name was actually Lorelai but they called her Alex because of her middle name, Alexandra was 15. She had long wavy hair a little bit lighter then her mother's but just like her father and the Gilmore blue eyes of course. The two kids were followed by Marty their father who had fell in love with Rory his freshman year at Yale. From then on well things sort of just fell into place. Rory walked in after them holding her stomach which was huge at the moment. She was about eight months pregnant and really sick of it by now.
The two kids took their seats with Marty at the regular table while Rory walked up to the counter. Before she could even speak she was interrupted. " The answer is no Rory, and I know it's not for Alex and your mother isn't even here yet so don't even try."
" But, please dad. Just one cup and I'll never bother you again." Rory pouted but Luke would not brake down it was the same every morning with every pregnancy. He would stand firm no grandchild of his was gonna have a mutation because of coffee.
" Go sit down Rory and I'll be right with you. Go... shoo!"
" I can't believe you first deny me coffee then you tell me to shoo." Rory turned on her heel and headed to sit with her family. Ben was telling a story about what had happen to his friend Chris yesterday when his mother sat down between him and Marty. Ben stopped and put his ear to his mother's stomach Ben was very excited about his new sibling and loved to hear the baby in his mother's stomach. Rory smiled then lifted his head off of her stomach and kissed his little nose. Alex stood up to go ask her grandpa for some coffee or more like beg.
" Benny, what do you want to eat sweetheart?"
" Gramps pancakes!" Ben shouted while standing up in his chair. Rory grabbed his hand and pulled him back to a seating position.
" Ben there are customers please try to keep it down and sit like a good boy." Rory shook her head and turned to her husband to talk to him.
Alex sat at the counter and waited until her Gramps noticed her. Luke smiled and shook his head as he leaned on the counter. " What can I do for you Alex?"
" I know you hate it, but please Gramps may I have some coffee."
" Alex, please I have already turned your mother down do you really think it will be any different with you?"
" Yes I do, I am not pregnant and Gramps mom approves of me having coffee so, pleasssee." Alex did her best Lorelai pout passed down from her Grandmother, who happen to walk in at just the right moment.
Lorelai walked in and saw Alex at the counter giving Luke the famous pout and knew immediately what it was for. " Luke be a good Gramps and give the girl some coffee." Luke looked up smiled at her then sighed and grabbed Alex a cup and filled it. Alex squealed in delight and kissed Luke on the cheek then took her coffee to her table while telling Lorelai thank you. Ben jumped out of his chair and ran into his Grandma's arms.
" Grams!!"
" Well hello there Benny. You would think I hadn't seen you in a year when I saw you yesterday morning really." Lorelai placed a kiss on her grandsons's cheek then put him down as she walked up to the counter. Luke had a coffee all ready for her and she leaned over the counter and kissed him. " Morning."
" Morning, where's Jenny? Did you talk to her yet?"
" Luke we just woke up about an hour ago. This afternoon possibly and she is coming she saw Nicole so she stopped to talk."
" Alright, sorry I just want to be prepared to know if she know's." Luke kissed Lorelai again and then she was off to sit by Rory at the table. Jenny joined them soon after and they all enjoyed a nice breakfast like any normal family in Stars Hollow.
Jenny was reading in her usual spot, sitting in the gazebo. When Milo sat down next to her and kissed her on the cheek. She held up her finger until she reached the end of the page and then put down her book and kissed him back. " Hi."
" Hey, what do you want to do today?"
" Hmm... I don't know I have to go help my mom at the inn in a couple of hours for some extra cash. But until then I'm free, want to just hang out here and read with me."
" Okay, but only if you read to me." Milo smirked at her he loved listening to her read and he knew she loved to read to him. Jenny smiled and leaned back against him and started to read out loud. Once in awhile she would stop and smile at him then continue just to make sure he was listening even though she knew he was.
For awhile they both had been really concentrated in the story and enjoyed each others company. Little did they know that someone had been watching them and planning his surprise approach, he had decided to go with subtle for now. So Jared got out of his hiding place and casually walked up the stairs into the gazebo. An at the same second he stepped in Jenny's eyes wondered away from the page to look up for a second. Milo noticed Jenny's pause and looked up from his view of the page and saw Jared. He had only met the jerk once but knew all about him.
" What are you doing here?" Jenny stuttered out and stood up to face Jared.
" Well hello to you to Jenny. Just wanted to let you know I'm back. Apparently your parents didn't want you to know."
" My parents know you're here?"
" Well of course I came to your house last night but your stupid father wouldn't let me in. God, I thought they would of told you. Oh, I'm sorry where are my manners and how are you Milo?" Jared looked to Milo who now held Jenny's hand and stood right next to her and smirked at him.
" Jared back off. Go back to where you were we don't want you here!"
" Milo he hasn't done anything, leave him be." Jenny pleaded with Milo she didn't want any fights because of her.
" Apparently someone does want me here Milo. Better check your sources next time you try and say something smart." Then Jared jogged off to only look back once and wink at Jenny letting her know this wasn't over. Jenny sort of gasped and holding onto Milo's hand tightly slowly sat back down as tears started to fall. Milo sat down next to her and held her for awhile.
" How could they not tell me?" Jenny looked up to Milo wishing he had the answer for her.
" Babe that's something you are gonna have to ask them. Why don't you go see your mom at the inn. You were gonna go there anyway then you can ask her what happen." Milo knew Jenny would not like this plan he knew she always ran instead of facing something.
" I can't, I'm sorry I have to go." Jenny stood and wrapped her arms around her stomach then walked towards home, where she could be alone. Milo just stared after her he knew Lorelai would find her and help at some point.
Jenny lye on her bed at home with the door closed just staring up at the ceiling. What was she gonna do? Jared was suppose to be gone and he was suppose to stay that way. That stage of her life was suppose to be over but now he was back and she felt something in the back of her heart flicker again. How could it all be happening again? Nothing ever could go right for long periods of time something always had to come screw it up. Tears fell and rolled down her cheeks, she couldn't handle this not again. So she rolled over and buried her face in her pillows and continued to cry.
A couple of hours later she heard her mom walk in the door. She rolled on her side to face away from her bedroom door knowing her mom would walk in at any point. Jenny was ashamed of her tears she shouldn't be feeling this confused but she was.
Lorelai walked in the door and scanned the living room for her daughter. Something didn't feel right Jenny hardly ever didn't show up to where she said she would be. " Hun, are you home? You said you were gonna meet me at the inn. Did you forget?" Lorelai said this as she made her way to Jenny's room and opened the door. Lorelai breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter with her back to her on the bed. Then she heard a small sob come from Jenny's body and her concern returned. Lore slowly walked over and laid down and wrapped one of her arms around her daughter's stomach and pulled her closer to her. Lorelai didn't know what was wrong but it didn't matter. Jenny just sometimes cried like this and this was the only way she knew to help her.
Jenny tried to wipe away her tears then turned to face her mom still in her arms. Lore smiled a little at her and tucked a loose hair behind Jenny's ear. " Why didn't you tell me?" Jenny barely got that out as more sobs wracked her body. Then watched as her mother closed her eyes and sigh slowly. Jenny was so confused on why her parents would keep something like this from her.
" I'm so sorry baby, we were trying to protect you. I was gonna talk to you when you came to the inn."
" Why didn't you tell me when he came here or at breakfast? Mom I saw him he had the nerve to talk to me. I thought that maybe you would of told me this to prepare me. But their I was stuttering and shaking as he continued to be his regular jerky self." Jenny sat up now angry again with her mother. She wiped her tears harshly from her face and waited for her mother's excuse.
" I wanted to wait for the right time. I didn't know how you would take it, I'm so sorry. You know I would never want you to get hurt." Lorelai looked to the floor and Jenny saw a tear escape and she felt awful. Her mother had always protected her and she always found a way to reject it and make her mother feel not needed. When Jenny knew she couldn't survive without Lorelai. Jenny walked over to her mother and hugged her and she felt relived when Lore wrapped her arms around her. No matter how old she got she knew being in her mother's arm would be something she loved.
Lorelai smiled at her daughter's gesture and lead her back to the bed. " I truly am sorry little one. Don't you worry we'll figure this out. Want to tell me what happen?"she watched her daughter look down at her hands and watch as she took a shaky breath.
" Nothing really he just said a couple of comments but I don't know mom. I'm scared, and ashamed but there is still something inside me that..." Jenny gave up on talking and just looked down and started to cry she could feel her mother's gaze become concerned and she knew her mom knew what she felt for Jared.
" It's hard to get over what happen, I understand that. Don't you remember the struggle Luke and I went through with Rory's dad. It takes time, but you have to remember that not everything was nice like your heart wants you to believe you have to remember the struggle this whole family went through with Jared and you."
