Meanwhile in Madison and Alex's room, Alex has been venting to her younger sister.

"I mean can you believe her Maddy!" She says finishing her rant.

"Well actually I can, she's our mom Al. She has the right to tell us when to do something. Why is going out at night so important anyway, we used to hang out all the time. We never do that anymore, why is that less important now?"

"You know that hanging out with you is not less important to me Madison but I'm 16 now, I have my own life and my own friends. And yes I know that we share some friends but I want a life of my own, without mom trying to control me all the time."

"She just doesn't want you to get hurt….and neither do I."

"I won't get hurt, I promise. Mom just doesn't understand me." Alex says and gets up out of bed, then she gets dressed and 15 year old Madison looks confused.

"Um Alex, what are you doing?"

"I'm going out, cover for me?"

"Alex no, not again, I always cover for you, mom is going to be so mad."

"Please Maddy please, I promised my boyfriend that I would come meet him at his house at 10:00, it is now 9:45. Come on, please." Alex begs.

Maddy sighs. "Alright fine I'll cover for you. Just don't be gone too long."

Alex smiles happily. "I won't I promise. Thanks sis."

"Yeah yeah, now go before you wake up mom and dad." Alex leaves the room and Maddy falls back onto her bed with a long sigh.

The next morning……When the youngest Danes wakes up, that means everyone is up. Little 3 year old Justin climbs out of his "big boy bed" every morning and sneaks into ever person room, waking them up. First stop, his mommy and daddy's room.

"Mommy, daddy wake up." He says, climbing onto their bed.

Lorelai wakes up, with tear stains still on her cheeks.

"Justin, baby. What did we tell you about waking me up at 5:30 in the morning?"

"Sorry mommy, but I'm awake."

"Oh really." She pretends to be shocked.

"Yup, see. My eyes are open." He puts his fingers near his eyes and opens his eye lids.

"I see that, now how about you go wake up your brothers and sisters while I wake up your dad okay?"

"Okay." Justin hops off the bed and runs down the hallway.

"Luke time to get up." She says coldly, getting up from the bed.

"Mhmm…okay. Where are you going?"

"I don't really feel like talking to you right now."

"Why not, is this about last night. Listen Lorelai I'm sorry that I said what I said. That's just the way I've been feeling lately. I mean you were barely home last year."

"You could have said that you want to stay together no matter what. You didn't have to say that you don't think we are going to make it. I thought that you loved me more than that!" She says with tears forming in her eyes and her anger clear. With that said she gets up and leaves the room to go get the kids ready for school. Luke sits on the bed with his head in his hands feeling terrible.

"Mommy I did it! I woke them up." Justin says running down the hallway into his mother's arms.

She wipes her tears and smiles. "Good job, now come on lets go get us some breakfast downstairs." She carries him downstairs into the kitchen.

As Lorelai is giving Justin his breakfast she hears the front door open and shut very quickly. She sighs, knowing exactly who it is.

"Alexandra Victoria Danes get in this kitchen right now!" Lorelai yells from the kitchen. Alex walks into the kitchen to face a very angry Lorelai.
