Chapter 3- Rory's Reaction
"I love you too. Bye." Rory hung up with Logan. I miss him so much, she thought. I can't wait until he comes home.
-Knocks on the door-
Who in the world could be here? "Who is it?" Rory yelled, very curious.
"Uma Thurman" Lorelai replied with her sarcasm. Shoulda known my mom would be here. "Come in mom!" Rory yelled.
"Well hello there stranger" Lorelai replied. "You saw me last night mom. Hey Luke."
"Rory." Luke gave a small wave in Rory's direction. If our twins look anything like Rory, they're gorgeous, he thought. "What brings you guys here?" Rory asked. If you only knew, Luke thought.
"Well, you remember how you told me last night that you had something personal to talk about?" Lorelai questioned. "No mom, I forgot in the 12 hours it's been that I've seen you." Sarcasm. There's no doubt she's my daughter, Lorelai thought.
"Well," Lorelai began, "I kinda have something personal to tell you now."
Uh oh, Rory thought. This can't be good. She's never been so hesitant to tell me anything. What if she's sick? What if she's dying? Lorelai saw the nervous and scared look on Rory's face and immediately comforted her. "It's nothing fatal, Ror." Rory immediately relaxed. Thank God, she thought. "So what is it, mom?" Lorelai knew it was no or never.
"Well, Luke and I eloped two weeks ago."
Is that all? Rory thought. She was happy for her mom. She had always wanted them to be together. "That's great mom!" She spoke up. Luke had always treated them well and he was an all around good guy.
"But that's not all, Ror." Rory suddenly got a very bad feeling. "See, before we were married, we had been dating for about four months, and well, I'm pregnant…" she paused slightly "…with twins."
Rory sat down. She didn't know if she could handle this. "Oh….well congratulations then."
Lorelai was so confused. She couldn't tell what Rory was thinking for the first time. Did she mean congratulations? Was she upset? Was she happy? Did she just feel sick? She pondered for what seemed like an eternity, and finally spoke up. "Are you mad, Ror?"
Rory didn't know what she was. Her mom was having more children. She would be 21 years older than her siblings. This was all too weird.
"I don't really know what I am, mom. I need to think about this. This is all so weird. Almost surreal."
Lorelai felt horrible. Clearly Rory was not happy about this. "Okay sweetie, take your time. You know where to find me." Lorelai hugged Rory. Rory hugged her so tight she thought she might choke. "I love you mom," she managed to mutter out. "You have no idea, kid." (Quote owned by Gilmore Girls)
Lorelai and Luke left and Rory sat back down. This has been the strangest day of my life, she thought, and then fell asleep.
