Emily sat there, just staring at her husband. Dumbfounded by what he had just said. "s We did the oppisite, we ignored her." They stood in silence for a moment, then Emily said, "Richard, I don't know what you are talkng about. She got everything she could have wanted from us. We gave her everything." Tears were now forming in Emily Gilmore's eyes, something you didn't see very often.

"Emily, we gave her everything she could have wanted. Not everything she wanted." Richard said, not breaking eye contact with his wife. Emily couldn't take it anymore. She broke down and began to cry. Richard took her in his arms and said, "Everything will be okay. She'll call, and she'll visit. We haven't losy her completely." Emily just nodded and dug her head into his shirt.

When Lorelai hung up the phone, there was a soft knock at the door. She walked over quieltly, as to not wake up the now sleeping Rory.

"Mia, hi." Mia gave her a warm smile, and said, "Hi Lorelai, I hope I didn't wake little Rory." Lorelai shook her head, "Nope, she is still sleeping. Would you like to come in?"

"No, thank you. I just wanted to let you know that the old tool shed out back will be ready for you to move into, tommorow morning."

"That's great! I hope I wasn't causing to much trouble."

"Nonsense. You're fine. You'll start work the day after tommorow, ok?"

"Sure, yeah, that sounds great. Should I bring Rory along, or should I get someone to watch her?"

"I would be happy to watch her if that's ok. You can get more work done without her tagging along, and I love little babies. My kids are all big, so I don't have any little ones anymore."

The next day Lorelai packed up their things and moved it all into the shed, which was fixed up rather nicely, and it was the perfect size for just the two of them. After moving their things and getting situated, Lorelai put little Rory into her stroller and took them on a tour of the town. She walked for not even five minutes when she reached the center of town. The town square, where inside the beautiful gazzebo, she saw Liz, the girl she met on the bus on her way here. Liz was watching a little boy, about Rory's age, she figured that was her son, that she mentioned on the bus. Lorelai polietly walked over the gazeebo, and said hello.

"Hi! Lorelai right?" Liz asked.

"Yeah, and this is Rory..is that your little boy? He's so cute!" Lorelai took Rory out of her stroller and set her on the seat next to her, where Rory played with her toes. (AN that may sound funny but my sister did it when she was little)

"Yeah, this is Jess."

The girls continued to talk for a few hours, and they exchanged phone numbers.

"It was great talking to you, call me when you can ok?" Lorelai said, while she picked Rory up and put her in her stroller.

"Yeah, same here." Liz said, doing the same with Jess

"Bye." Lorelai said, when she walked away.

Luke had been watching his sister and Lorelai for a few minutes, and was still watching Lorelai walk away when Liz came into the hardware store.

"You like her don't you?" She asked. Luke froze, that wasn't a question he was expecting, he looked her in the eye and said, "Liz, you know I think it's weird if I were to like one of your friends."

"I'm moving soon, so you won't have to worry about that now will you." Liz walked upstairs, to the small appartment they were currently sharing. It was only temporary, they had just moved out of their childhood home, after their father died. Luke was in some sort of funk, since after that, and he couldn't take living in that house anymore. He sold it, and most of their belongings.

"You know I don't like that you're moving to New York right? I just want to make that clear."

"Crystal clear big bro." She shouted from the appartment.

Lorelai walked around town a little more before she ended up back at the Inn. When she walked in to her surprise she found her father. Just sitting in the lobby, reading a newspaper.

"Dad? What the hell are you doing here?" She whispered when she walked over to him. He looked at her and folded his newspaper.

"I just wanted to say...that. I-I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to treat you badly all these years. I-I do love you Lorelai." He was standing up now.

Lorelai said nothing. She just stood there taking it all in.

"Dad, you didn't do anything wrong. You didn't treat me badly. It's ok." She paued and then looked down at her shoes, before saying, "I, love you too." Richard smiled and enfolded her in a big hug.

"Your mother doesn't need to know about this Lorelai, I trust you won't let her know that I was here."

"I won't tell her if you don't want me to." Richard nodded. After a few minutes of talking in the lobby (Lorelai didn't want her father to see where she was living, he wouldn't approve, and he woue definaltly make her move somewhere else.) Richard gave Lorelai some money, after she put up a bit of a fight, and left.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX A few weeks later xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Lorelai worked her first few weeks at the Inn with ease. She got more done then a normal maid would in two days. Richard kept in contact with her, and they had lunch every few days, without Emily knowing. Ann called her and updated her on her first few days of Chilton, and all was well.

Lorelai had the day off from the Inn, so she decided to take a walk around town. As she walked passed the Hardware Store, she saw Liz and Luke loading up Luke's truck.

"Hey Liz, going somewhere?" She asked.

"Yeah, I decided to earlier then planned, to give my bro his space." and with that Luke, went into the store, to get more boxes, leaving them alone to their "girl talk".

"You're leaving so soon? That's to bad, Rory and Jess were just starting to get along." Lorelai said, her smile fading.

"I'm gonna bring Jess down every now and then so they can see eachother then." Lorelai nodded, "Say goodbye before you leave?" Liz nodded and Lorelai walked over to the gazeebo. The Gazeebo had become her favorite place in town. She went there to think, to read, to play with Rory. She went there whenever she was having doubts, or whenever she second guessed herself. This time is was only to think. Liz is leaving, so I'm alone again. Fabulous. Just me and Rory. She thought, then Luke came out of the Hardware store an lifted a seemingly heavy box into the bed of his truck. hmm, maybe so alone.
