Hey! Sorry it's been a couple of days, but I've been studying for tests. Well, anyway, here's chapter 4.
Chapter 4
Lorelai stood above the stove, watching the water boil. Luke came in from the living room to see Lorelai staring down at the pot.
"Lorelai, what are you doing?" He asked, laughing.
"Trying to figure out how to stop the water to stop boiling." She muttered.
"First of all, you turn the heat down, and then you put the spaghetti in." He said.
"Oh." She muttered.
"Lorelai, come here." He said, and sat down in the kitchen chair and pulled her into his lap. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm so nervous. Rory doesn't know about the baby or April yet, and I have to tell her that her soon to be step-sister is coming over for dinner." She said, keeping her voice low, because Rory was in her bedroom, door closed.
"She's here know. Go talk to her." He said, giving her a small push towards Rory's door.
She knocked. "Can I come in?" She asked.
"Yeah." Rory said.
Lorelai entered the bedroom, and sat down on her bed, near where Rory was sitting, reading Swan's Way for the third time.
"What's up?" She asked.
"Nothing. Mom, I know that you came in here to talk to me about something. What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked.
"Well, we have a guest coming over for dinner tonight." She said.
"Really, who?" She asked.
"A twelve-year-old named April, Luke's long lost daughter." She said.
"Luke has a daughter? Why didn't you tell me?" Rory asked, suddenly upset.
"Honey, I just found out myself two days ago, and I just met her yesterday, and I am seeing you for the first time in two days, so don't get all crypto on me here." She said.
"Sorry, but it is so weird to think that Luke has a daughter that we never knew about, that he never knew about. Freaky." Rory said.
"There's another piece of news that you need to know. You're getting that younger brother or sister that you've always wanted." Lorelai smiled.
"Really?" Rory smiled.
"Yeah, you are."
Rory hugged her mom tight, and ran out to the kitchen to give Luke a tight hug as well and whispered 'congratulations' in his ear.
Luke looked over his soon-to-be daughter's head, and saw his fiancé smiling at him over her daughter's head.
Just then, right as the spaghetti was set on the table, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Rory said, jumping up from her chair.
Rory walked in to the foyer and opened up the door to reveal a frizzy haired young girl, and an older woman.
"Hi. I'm Rory, and you must be April." Rory said, holding out her hand.
"Yeah, and you must be Rory." April said, shaking her hand.
"I'm Anna Nardini, April's mother." Anna said, shaking Rory's hand as well.
"Well, come on in." She said. "I'll just go get Luke and my mom." Rory hurried into the kitchen.
"Where's April?" Lorelai asked. "You know, if she's actually going to eat dinner with us, she has to come inside so she can eat." Lorelai said.
"I'm sorry, but April's mom is here." Rory said.
Luke looked up from the refrigerator. "What?" He said.
"Yeah, they're in the living room." She said.
"Well, let's go." Lorelai said, grabbing Luke's upper arm and pulling him into the living room.
"Hey, April." Lorelai said, seeing the older woman next to April.
"Hey, Lorelai." She responded, standing up. "Hey, um… Luke." She said.
"April. Anna." He added.
"Well, I just came to drop April off, and see how you're doing Luke, and I can see that you're fine. Well, anyway, I have to be going, so, I'll pick you up at 9:30, if that is okay with you two?" She said, coolly, giving Lorelai a small, but distasteful look.
"Yeah." Lorelai spoke for Luke.
Anna nodded and walked out the door.
"Well, we can see she and I aren't going to be best friends." Lorelai said to no one in particular.
R&R!
Well, I know it was short, but I have to go eat dinner and do my homework. Well, tell me what you think!
