Richard and Lorelai left the Gilmore residents around seven thirty. Lorelai took two suitcases full of her clothes. They headed to the small town of Stars Hallow.
"Lorelai it's going to be a few days before I can get you a house. So I am going to put you up in an Inn. I will be back in the morning around seven thirty to take you to the local high school and enroll you. Remember if you need anything you can call my office." said Richard, "Lorelai I am also going to visit once a week that I am not on a business trip."
"Thank you Dad for at least for helping out. I was think was going to have to drop out of school and get a full time job so I could afford to take care of this little one." said Lorelai putting her hand on her stomach, "Because I don't want a strangers to raise my child."
During the forty-five minute drive to Stars Hallow Lorelai and Richard continued to talk.
"Lorelai, was it my imagination or did you say that Christopher denied that he was the father?"
"Yes he did that even went as far to say that he never even had sex with me. He screamed in the hall today 'How could I have sex with someone else and get pregnant by that person and try and pass the baby off as his'. Then he got mad and stormed off." said Lorelai, "I am going to tell you how it all happened. It was the week that mom went with you on your business trip to Athens. Well we had a half day of school because the teachers had meetings. So Chris and I came back to the house and he grabs a full bottle of Vodka and we go upstairs to my room to drink. After we finished about half of the bottle we started to kiss and then we got carried away. The next thing I realized that I was fixing my clothes and my make-up." said Lorelai "Then yesterday I realized I was late and so I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive."
"Lorelai I am sorry for how your mother and Christopher acted today. You probably don't want anything to do with Christopher now?"
"No Dad I don't. I never want to see him ever again. I will spend all my time with either school or my soon to be child. I will worry about finding someone that will love both me and my child for us. Dad you are always welcome in anyplace we are at." said Lorelai as they pulled up to the snow covered Independence Inn.
Lorelai and Richard got Lorelai's suitcases out of the trunk of the car. Together they walked into the Inn.
"Hello I made a reservation under the name of Gilmore about an hour ago." said Richard to the teenager behind the desk.
"I am sorry but that name is not in our system. Who did you talk to you?" asked the teenager.
"A woman by the name of Mia, she said that she was the owner."
"Okay let me get Mia and we will see what the problem is. One moment please." said the teenager walking from behind the desk and walked across the lobby and knocked on the door.
"Come on."
"Mia, a Mr. Gilmore is here. He said that he talked to you and made a reservation."
"Yes, Tobin, I remember. Let me talk to him," said Mia getting out of her chair and headed to the lobby, "Mr. Gilmore I am sorry for the inconvenience. On the phone you said that you were looking for a house for your daughter. Well I know of three houses for sell in Stars Hallow. All three are within walking distance to everything in town. I called the owners and they said I could give you a tour. One set of owners even said if you saw any furniture that you like. You could put a note on it and they would let you have it even if you didn't buy their house. Would like to see the houses? We can go right now?"
"Dad can we go and see them please?" begged Lorelai excitedly.
"Okay if you are sure we are allowed." said Richard to Mia and Lorelai, "Lead the way."
"Tobin I'll be back. Hold the fort down for Me." said Mia heading to the door and her car to take the Gilmore's to town, "Okay the house is located on Peach Street, Maple Street, and Revere Street. The one on Peach Street is a one story with five bedrooms. The paint on the outside is funny enough peach. The one on Maple Street is a one bedroom with a full bathroom and a full living room. The house on Revere Street is a two story, with three bedrooms and one and half baths, a full kitchen, and a full living room, and a garage of to the side of the house."
"Do you know how much each owner is wanting?"
"Well Peach Street wants seventy thousand. Maple Street wants hundred thousand; and the Revere Street wants sixty thousand, but they would take forty-five thousand." said Mia driving towards Revere Street. "There it is."
The house was painted light blue with white trim and white railing on the porch. Mia and the Gilmore are walked onto the porch and Mia picked up the welcome mat and grabbed the keys and let them into the house.
"Feel free to look around." said Mia sitting down on the lime green couch letting the young woman and her father look around. Lorelai headed upstairs to look around and found a large bedroom with a full bathroom with a shower/bath combo, and a medium size room. On the first floor is a half bathroom, kitchen, living room and another medium bedroom.
"Dad, this house is perfect. The upstairs medium bedroom I could use a nursery. And when the baby is old enough I could make him or her, a bedroom down here." said Lorelai to her father.
"Mia, could you get a hold of the owners so we could make an offer." said Richard to Mia.
"I can call right now." said Mia reaching for the phone and dialing a number, "Hello Christina its Mia. They like the house and they would like to make an offer."
"That is good. I was hoping that it wouldn't sat uninhabited. When do they want to meet to make an offer?"
"Mr. Gilmore, when do you want to meet the Jones' to make the offer?" asked Mia.
"Well how about tomorrow."
"Christina is tomorrow fine with you and George?"
"Yes say nine thirty."
"Nine thirty fine Mr. Gilmore?"
"Yes it fine I have to be here tomorrow anyway. Can we use your dining room?"
"Yes you can. Christina just comes to the Inn and you can meet with Mr. Gilmore to discuss terms and work something out." said Mia putting the phone back into its cradle. "Okay Lorelai I have a place in town you can say with me until your father can work out a deal with the Jones' and you can move into this beautiful house."
"Thanks Mia I will."
The threesome walked out of the house and Mia locked up the house and put the keys back in their popper spot. Lorelai noticed the neighboring house and saw several gnomes between the pouch and the tree stomp. She looked back at the house and realized within several house she hoped it would be hers.
"Mia what are you doing here this time of evening?' asked a short brunette woman. "Who is this gorgeous babe?"
"Babette I am showing Lorelai the house. They are meeting with the Jones' tomorrow to make an offer. Lorelai this is Babette. Babette is into musicians." said Mia heading back to her car to take the Gilmore's back to the Inn.
Mia took the Gilmore's through the town and showed them where place like the high school, the market, and the hardware store was located. Back at the Inn Mia had one of the worker's put Lorelai's suitcases into the back of Mia's car.
"Mr. Gilmore I will meet you in front of the high school in the morning with Lorelai. I promise to good care of her tonight. I will be in my office. When you are done saying goodnight to your father just walk in. Mr. Gilmore it was nice to meet you."
"Evening Mia, it was my pleasure to meet you. I will see you in the morning." said Richard "Lorelai I am proud of how you are handling all of this. Well good night and I will see you two in the morning. I will have your transcript and my checkbook."
"Goodnight dad. See you in the morning." said Lorelai walking Richard to his car and giving him a kiss on the check.
"Night Lorelai." said Richard getting into his car and driving off. Lorelai walked back into the Inn and went into Mia's office.
"Mia I'm here. Dad said he would see us in the morning."
"Lorelai I want offer you a job here at the Inn. If you take the job you will work say twenty hours a week after school? Then anytime you need off just let me know. You will work in whatever position that needs an extra person. When you work the front desk you can bring your homework and do. To tell you the truth I'm kind a tried. It has been a weird and unusual day. I guess he is my ex now first Chris denies he was ever with me, and then my own mother kicks me out and says I'm no longer her daughter."
"Okay let's go and get you into bed then. I will wake you at six thirty so you can be awake to meet your father at seven thirty." said Mia as she putting some of her paperwork into her briefcase and they left her office. They walked into the lobby and told Tobin that they were leaving. Mia drive to Spring Street to her house and Mia showed Lorelai to a bedroom.
When six thirty rolled around Mia woke Lorelai and they started getting ready for the day. Mia fixed Lorelai some breakfast and soon they were heading toward the school. They saw Richard standing in front of the school as a green pick up drove in front of the school.
"Richard here is your daughter in one piece. I'll see you two at nine thirty at the inn." said Mia to Richard as Lorelai got out of the car.
"Morning Dad how is mom this morning, and how are you this morning?" asked Lorelai.
"We both are good. Your mom is still real mad. I have your transcript here. Let's go and get you enrolled into school." said Richard leading the way into the school.
The Gilmore's walked into the school and made their way to the main office. The school was what Richard Gilmore thought public school would be like. They walked into the main office.
"Hello I need to talk to whoever is in charge enrollment of students. I am here to enroll my daughter." said Richard Gilmore to the secretary.
"You would need to talk with the principal. You will need her transcript form from her old school, her birth certificate, and a copy of her immunization records. Mr. Wilkin is in right now if you want to talk to him."
"Yes. We have everything. Can you let him know he has people out here wanting to talk to him?"
"Go on in." said the secretary to the Gilmore's.
The Gilmore's walked into the office of Mr. Wilkin.
"Hello Mr. Wilkin. I am Richard Gilmore, and I am here to enroll my daughter Lorelai in your school. This is her transcript from Chilton. Her grades are in the top percent of her class there, but circumstances that recently happened have made it impossible to continue her schooling there. Then my wife throw her out and we are in the process of buying a house for her." said Richard looking at his daughter.
"I have to ask what the circumstance was."
"I got pregnant." Lorelai speaking for the first time since they went into the office. "My boyfriend and I slept together then he denied that he even done that, but here I am."
"Lorelai we need to go to meet the Jones' at nine thirty. She will start tomorrow morning." said Richard looking at his watch. Together they left the principal's office. Richard drove them to the Independence Inn. Richard and Lorelai walked into the inn and saw Mia standing at the front desk.
"Mia is the Jones' here yet?" asked Lorelai impatiently.
"Yes they are. This way Richard and Lorelai." said Mia leading them to the dining room. "Christina and John this is Lorelai Gilmore and her father Richard Gilmore. I'll let you guys get talking to each other and try and get a price on that house. I'll be over at the front desk if you need anything."
"Mia told us last night that you wanted between forty-five to sixty thousand dollars. I am willing to write you a check for fifty-five thousand rights this moment." said Richard to the Jones'.
"What do you think John? Is fifty-five thousand good enough?"
"Yes. Your parents helped us buy it so you have the final say in what we accept." said John looking at Christina.
"Mr. Gilmore we gladly accept the price of fifty-five thousand. Now Lorelai was there any pieces of furniture that you liked?"
"Yes I liked the couch and chairs in the living room and the dining room set."
"Well I will tell the movers to leave everything on the first floor than. That way you will have a bed to sleep on until your father can get your things moved into your new house. This is the deed to the house. All you need to do is sign here and here." said Christina to Lorelai and Richard pushing an official paper towards them.
Together they signed the deed. And Richard passed the Jones' a signed check for the amount of fifty-five thousand dollars.
Richard looked at his watch and noticed that it was a quarter till eleven, "Lorelai we need to get on the road. So we can make it to your doctor's office."
"Yes dad. It was nice to meet the both of you." said Lorelai holding out her hand to the Jones'.
"Lorelai here are the other set of keys and we will have everything out by this evening. And it was a nice meeting you."
"Let's go dad." said Lorelai heading towards the door, "I'll talk to you later Mia."
Richard and Lorelai went to his royals Reece and headed to Hartford to the GYBN's office. Richard walked up to the secretary window and asked if they were any opening for an appointment.
"Yes we have one in twenty minutes. The name please?"
"Lorelai Gilmore is the name."
"Here is the paperwork. Please fill out and bring it back up to me."
Once Lorelai finished the papers and took it back to the secretary. After twenty minutes the doctor came out and said, "Lorelai Gilmore please comes with me. Now you indicated on your paperwork that you are pregnant. Tell me why you think this?"
"I missed my period and I never miss it. And I took an early pregnancy test and it was positive. I have been eating fruit and I hate fruits and vegetables."
"Okay we have to do some blood work then I will use the alter sound to determine how far along you are. This is your examination room and let find out." said Dr. Malrid opening the door for Lorelai, "Roll up your sleeve so we can take a bit of your blood."
Dr. Malrid after she took the blood she gave the tube to one of her nurses. Then had Lorelai lay back so she could do an alter sound on her.
"Congratulation Lorelai by your alter sound look like you are about three and half weeks along. We will know for sure once your blood work is done and we have about another fifteen minutes. Now Lorelai tell me about the father."
"He is my age. When I told Christopher I was pregnant he started by saying that I was sleeping around on him. He denied that he was even the father." said Lorelai to the doctor as the nurse brought a folder into the room. The doctor read the report and looked at Lorelai.
"Congratulation the blood work is back and you are going to be a mother in about eight months. Let's go and tell the grandfather. I take he is somewhat happy about being a grandfather?"
"Yes except he wished it was after I was married and older. But he just bought me a house and I'm starting a new school." said Lorelai leading the way to the waiting room. Once there they saw Richard and made their way to him.
"Well Mr. Gilmore you are going to be a grandfather in about nine months. Now Lorelai I need to see you in about a month time. I'm going to order you script of prenatal. No coffee or other types of drugs and no alcohol. Don't stress too much over school work. And as the pregnancy goes further along you will get tired early on then there will be days that you will have a lot of energy."
"I'll see you in about a month. Dad can you take me back to Stars Hollows?"
"Yes come on. Thank you for seeing us on such short notice."
Then they headed back to the Independence Inn. Once back at the inn Lorelai kissed her father good bye and walked into the inn. Mia was talking to a tall muscular man that looks to be about seventeen or eighteen year's old wearing flannel and a backward baseball cap.
"Lorelai this is Lucas Danes. Lucas helps me out around the inn when I need something fix. How was your appointment? The Jones' got everything of their out and you can move in."
