Author's Note: Sorry for not updating. It wouldn't let me upload. It'll be quicker next time promise. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed, you have no idea how much it means to me so continue! I'm trying to update quickly, but you'll have to bare with me (Is that how you spell that? Sorry if I'm wrong.) Does anyone read these author's notes? Oh well, here's the story. I named the chapter after a Beatles song. I know you were just going crazy wondering that. Right…the story. Sorry.

Chapter Four
Yawning, Lorelai climbed out of bed. She had hardly slept the night before. She knew Rory was hiding something from her. It was a mother's instinct to know when their child is upset.
Rory's door was closed and Lorelai figured she was still asleep. "I'll let her wake up to the scent of coffee," Lorelai thought to herself.
She jumped in her jeep and drove over to Luke's. As she walked in the door Luke grabbed the pot of coffee and poured two extra big cups of coffee to go.
"Wow, I didn't even have to ask," Lorelai said in awe.
"Well, ya know, it's Rory's birthday and all, and I figured she'd appreciate it," Luke said slightly embarrassed.
"Thanks Luke," Lorelai said smiling genuinely. " You truly are a good friend."
They stood there awkwardly for a few seconds, until Kirk interrupted their moment.
"Hey! Can I get a refill over here?" he shouted across the diner to Luke who was standing at the counter talking to Lorelai.
" Kirk, you've been here for at least two hours! You have to be on your fifth cup of coffee. I want you out!" Luke said getting more and more annoyed.
" I'm sorry but Cat Kirk had kittens and it's not pretty," Kirk said.
" I thought Cat Kirk was a boy," Luke said getting confused.
" So did we, until I discovered her demonic kittens," Kirk stated. "They might be small, but they bite hard," he said defensively.
" I have to go Luke. Thanks for the coffee," Lorelai said as she slipped out the door.

Lorelai pulled into the driveway and stepped out of the jeep into a mud puddle.
"Oh great!" she thought. "And I just bought these shoes." She walked around the house looking for something. "Ahah!" she shouted in triumph. "I knew we had to have one."
After spraying her feet off with the newly discovered hose, she ran inside to inform Rory of the very exciting news.
"Rory! Guess wha-," Lorelai stopped mid sentence. Rory's bed was empty. Her bookshelves weren't quite bare, but it was visible that many books were missing. Running over to the closet, Lorelai opened the doors quickly, causing them to slam against the walls. A lot of the clothes were missing. Turning around to look over the room, she realized all the pictures of her and Rory were missing, along with Rory's journal and CD player gone from her bedside table.
"Shit," Lorelai whispered to herself, sitting down on the bed and realizing that Rory was gone. Hearing something crinkle beneath her, she stood up to reveal a note. It was from Rory.
Dear Mom,
I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I'll miss you.
Love,
Rory"Oh my God," Lorelai said, her fear rapidly transforming to pain and tears.
Tears streaming down her face, Lorelai ran outside and jumped into her jeep and drove like a madwoman to Luke's.
"Luke!" she shouted running into the diner. Her face was splotchy and it was quite clear that she had been crying.
"Lorelai, what's wrong?" Luke asked with sincere concern.
"She's gone." Lorelai said, tears falling from her face again.
Author's Note: Sorry the chapter was so short. Updating will happen soon. I want your opinions. Should I have Jess tell Lorelai that Rory's pregnant and have Rory come home after the baby's born, or have Rory come home like a beach ball, or not have Rory come home on her own at all? Whatever you think would be best. Review and I will try to listen to your requests. Promise. Now click that pretty little button and tell me! ~ Hannah
