Two year old Lori chased after the kitten Great-Grandma Lorelai and Great-Grandpa Luke had given her.
"I can't believe this," Lola whined to Devin as the couple chased after their daughter.
"We're the allowed your grandparents to get a cat," Devin reminded his wife.
"I'm seriously regretting saying yes," Lola said.
"Back," Lori cried to the kitten.
"Calm down, Lori," cried Lola.
"This is three times for your mom and dad," Devin remembered, laughing.
Lola laughed with him. "Plus, they still have Lucas," she said.
Devin finally caught Lori.
"Back," Lori cried, bursting into tears.
"You need to leave Neil Young alone and take a bath," Lola told her daughter. Lola loved the name of her daughter's cat. Lorelai had chosen to name the cat.
"No," the two year old wailed.
"Yes," Lola told her.
"You'll give her a bath?" Devin asked Lola as he handed her Lori.
Lola nodded. "And you'll put her to bed?" she asked.
"Yeah," Devin replied.
Lola gave Lori a bath, the baby crying the entire time.
"I love you," Lola said to Lori.
"Wuv you too," Lori replied, giggling.
Lola handed Lori to Devin, and sat down on the couch.
Devin returned twenty-five minutes later.
"She asleep?" Lola asked. Devin nodded.
"How are you doing, Lo?" Devin questioned.
"I'm so tired," Lola confessed.
"You're going to college and caring for a wild two year old," Devin pointed out.
"So are you," Lola said.
"What are we going to tell Princess Lori when she grows up?" the weary Devin asked.
Lola shrugged. "We tell her we married because of love. We just don't tell her it was for the love of our unborn baby."
Lola and Devin had been dating for seventeen months when Lola got pregnant. The two had broken up three weeks later because Lola realized she wanted to explore life.
Upon learning of Lola's pregnancy, the two had reunited for their baby. Lola had proposed, figuring the baby needed a stable life. Devin had accepted.
Lola and Devin had fallen out of love, but still loved each like friends. They were planning on staying married until Lori finished college.
They were happy, but wished they could be happier. The two did everything marriage related that everyone else married did. Lola and Devin were stuck in a marriage of convenience.
The third year of Lori's life would be chaotic.

Rory is going to be a huge part of this story. She'll be arriving next chapter. How'd you like that little twist? I came up with that today. Don't worry, everything will eventually work out for Lola and Devin. I'm just not going to tell you how.
