Narrator pov

As the maid busiest herself preparing coffee, Emily ended Lorelai a glass of water. Upon finishing the glass of water, the two women, walked slowly to the living room where her father was sitting in his usual chair drinking a scotch.

Lorelai sat down onto the sofa, looking uncomfortable, until her father spoke

- Lorelai, your mother and I just wanted you to be happy that's all. I never wanted you to be unhappy that's why back then we accepted you not wanting to marry Christopher. - as Richard spoke those words, Emily began nodding along, until she began talking.

- You always seemed so partial to Christopher, that I thought that Luke was just a phase, something not that important, just a very rebellious daughter but now I just don't know what to say, and despite the fact that you think that we don't know you, we've realized that the woman who sitting on our table for the last two weekly dinners was not you, and this is not you, and I don't how could I have missed it... - Emily sad sighing.

- Mom, really this is not your fault, I just, I don't know who I am anymore...

- you are Lorelai Gilmore, independent, despite everything and everyone, strong willed woman who can do anything she sets her mind to, and I am so sorry for what I said at dinner...

Lorelai turn to Rory, now standing on the staircase landing...

- i really have no idea what came over me... i just... - as Rory descends the stairs

- mom I really I am mortified for how I treated you really I …

- Rory please it's okay really I know that what I did – Lorelai tried to say, while Emily and Richard remains silent – what I did really hurt you...and I really I am sorry for that... and really if I could turn back time... I – sobbing Lorelai reseated herself, while Rory seat next to her. At that point Emily took Richard arm, to guide him in the dining room, to leave the girls some privacy

- I know you hate me now... - Lorelai said looking down

- mom really I don't hate you, I could never hate you I was just an idiot that's all and I really miss Luke so much but even more I miss how he made you happy, and now, I don't recognize you... you go around like nothing happened, and that mom, that frightens me more than anything else..

- oh Rory

- you are strong and vital, and I really don't know what happened there...

- Rory, I just thought that with Luke, was my turn to be happy you know... but with April, and god forgive me but I know now what was on his mind that night, I really didn't intend for him to understand that I wanted him to choose me, over April, or even choose at all, I just...

- wanted rise some reactions out of him?

- Yeah...

- I really I am sorry for how I treated you, and I really didn't mean what I said, I know I hurt you, mom..

- Rory...

- no mom, I really I am and I hope that you will sometime forgive me for it...- Lorelai looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her face and without saying another word, lunched to hug Rory strongly, until there were no more tears to cry.

At that precise moment Richard and Emily decided to return to the living room, followed by Delia with the three coffees. As Emily sat down on the sofa, she looked over to the girls, to see that some sitting close together, and in that moment knew, that even if it was not now, things were going to resolve themselves, and at that she let a tiny smile grace her face, while the maid served the three coffees, an Richard fixed himself another drink.

Over the night, after the coffees and drink were completed, Emily decided, that begin too tired form the evening's drama to go home on their own, Lorelai and Rory would sleep in the Gilmore mansion. And as Rory made her way over to her own room, feeling somewhat relieved, Lorelai made tentative steps, on the path towards the guest room.

- Lorelai where on earth are you going? - Asked an appalled Emily as she saw her daughter going over the door of the guest room..

- to sleep..- answered Lorelai somewhat confused

- in the guest room?

- Where else?

- Your room Lorelai, you know where your room is right? Do you need a map?- Asked Emily smirking at her daughter...

- my room?

- Yes, Lorelai

- didn't you turn it into a gym or something?- asked Lorelai, while being guided to her room door.

- What an idiocy, turning your room into gym... your father wanted to built a second upstairs study, what an aberration... - said Emily looking at her daughter - so I decided to let this room stay yours, and look at that, I was right...- Emily said somewhat proudly as guiding Lorelai to seat on her bed

- I am sure that you can find some of your old clothes here to sleep in...everything, pretty much stayed the same!

- thanks mom – Lorelai said looking at her mother

- Lorelai, everything is going to be okay... Luke? If he is the one that makes you happy really, truly happy, than work for it, don't let one mistake cloud over years, first of friendship and then of a relationship...

- mom, but

- Lorelai, the finest things in life, are those you work for it... for me it was your father, and if for you it all come down to having Luke with you, than do something...work for it, and you'll see that the results are not so bad...- Emily than walked out the door, closing it softly.

Lorelai's POV

Sitting on the bed, I am asking myself if really, I have the strength to do this. Of course Luke was worth it, now I know, he still is, as for Chris, oh god, I really have to talk to him, and close whatever door is opened between us... for good. Oh my head hurts. As I change myself into one of my old pajamas, I really can't believe absurdity of the night events. Rory... I can't really blame her, and god, I hope, that with time, she and I can somewhat regain our footing, but for now, it hurts a little bit too much, to let go completely.

Her reaction to her father, I know it was years in the making , although quite surprising I have to admit. I just hope that Luke will be able to forgive me, but also, I hope that he will be able to forgive himself, because I can guarantee anyone, that he is blaming himself on this. As I am thinking this, I know I am falling finally in a restful sleep.

Emily's POV

As I am on my bed, I can't help myself, to fall asleep. I am somewhat excited, and I should not. As I turn on my back, and look at the ceiling, I know, that I should be upset, about tonight events. Christopher not being enough for Lorelai was clear since the very beginning, but my stupid self, did everything in her power to get them together, even before Rory. How stupid was I? If only I knew... well playing the game of "if only" will not bring me far...

- Em...would you please stop it – oh oh, I woke Richard! - I can hears your brain wheels running... just get some sleep- he tells me, as I look at him

- Em, is something the matter? - he asks me. Oh how I hate when he reads me like this, as he sit up and turn on the bedside table lamp.

- just... we did all wrong didn't we? - I ask as I am sitting myself.

- Emily, there is no book that teach you how to be a parent, we did the best that we could at that time...

- I am talking about tonight...

- well I never really liked Christoper, in the first place! -

- Richard! - what an hypocrite!

- it's true Emily and you know it! - don't I know it

- I am not talking about that... I thought that I was doing the best for Lorelai, instead I did it all wrong...Luke and everything else – and now I am frustrated!

- Emily everything will be fine … and you know what?- what is he smiling about now

- What? - I say patiently

- Our girls are home!

- our girls are home! - realizing now why I was so excited. I smile at him as her turn off the light ad take me into his arms. This feels pretty much as new beginning. I just hope that it stay that way...

Earlier that day...

MASON NECK, VA

- But Lucas? What do you mean that there is no Lorelai?

- Just that me and Lorelai split up, and she went back to Christopher, you know Rory's father! - and now he is patronizing me how wonderful. I've been talking to that nephew of mine for the last ten minutes and I really can't wrap my mind over what is telling me.

- what do you mean she went back?

- I mean that we broke up, and than she went to him, and now they are dating hence the no wedding part... but on a happiest note, I got joint custody of April!

- oh Lucas, really, I am happy for you, finally, you know what...we should celebrate, you should really bring her here, I am sure she would like it

- thanks aunt, maybe when things settle a little bit with the diner...

- well the project for renovation is ready so I am going to fax this to you as soon as possible OK?

- OK, thanks aunt Vivi – we talked for two other minutes, and than he hung and now I am even more confused about things, regarding that woman, than I was before. He is not so OK with the break up, I can hear it in his voice, he sounds almost defeated in his tone of voice, but of course he wouldn't tell me that. i know that if I asked, if something was wrong he would answer that he was fine, also he would not tell me all of it.

Lucas was not the right person to ask, if I wanted to know certain things. And if you want to know something about one Stars hollow resident, there is only one person. As I sit in my study I open my phone book, in search of the phone number of the one and only Miss Patricia, the town resident gossip queen. As I listen to her, whom gladly, put me up to date with everything around town, I knew that the big blow was coming.

As it turns out Lorelai Gilmore did go back to that idiot of Christopher Hayden, but forgot conveniently to return her engagement ring first. As I quickly end the conversation, I slam hard the phone on it's cradle with a loud bang.

- Vivi, what is the matter? - oh George, my dear husband if you only knew. He is peaking on the study door to see what the commotion was about.

- what is the matter? she did it again! - ah the nerve of that woman

- who did what again? - I know he is confused now

- George now it is not the time OK? - As I sat up, and exit the study, I feel my anger firing up – I knew it, aunt Vivi I am engaged to Lorelai Gilmore, he said! - I said mimicking Lucas. I know, childish, but I am so mad right now -I knew it , I just knew it, of all the great women that are out there, that would pay to be with him, the daughter of Emily Gilmore he had to pick!

- Vivi would you please calm yourself down, your not making any sense, I thought we liked Lorelai...

- exactly liked, as in the past, now she may as well have not only cheated on our nephew, but also asked him to choose between herself and April, how much of an imbecile could she be...- as I go up the stair into our bedroom, I go directly to the walking closet. I opened the door on the left, and take out my luggage and drop it on the bed.

- What are you doing with that? - as I ignore George's question, I go to the phone on the bedside table, and I dial the maid downstairs.

- Nora? Do please prepare the car, I am going away for a couple of days. - I a hung up ,and immediately I dial another number...

- James?

- Yes ma'am

- get the plane ready... I am going to Stars Hollow, CT in two hours – as I hung up I begin to prepare for the trip.

- Vivi, what is exactly your intention, go there and deck the woman? - he asks me

- George you know that I am not a violent person! - not always at least.

- you are known for exaggerating things from time to time

- exaggerating things? oh well OK, but I didn't hear my sister on her deathbed asking me no to exaggerate things, when she asked me to look over her kids... - and i had all the intention to do so, with this trip.

- OK just don't do any crazy things OK? You know how Lucas is, if is not asking for our help, it's because he doesn't want us to interfere... promise me that you will not interfere? PROMISE? - and now he is scowling at me like I am a child.

- well I can't promise that, but I'll tell you that I'll do my best - as he looks at me, I know that I didn't fool him, but nonetheless he lets me go, after a few round of kisses, and hugs, he makes me promise to call as soon as I arrive. He know me almost too much, but that's what thirty-five incredible years of marriage does to you.

As I sit in the car, I make another call. It is time for me to look over all those committees, that my mother supervised all those years. After all she left this incumbency on me. I open my briefcas and look at the files...As i look over the papers I find it, my mark: Ah DAR. Daughter of the American Revolution...can exist such an idiotic name for a committee?

Anyway it is time, that Emily Gilmore and her family, gets a bit of reality check.

As I hear the dial tone, I wait for an answer...

- Charleston household, who is speaking? - it must be the maid, go figure...

- this is Vivian Anderson, I would like to speak to Mrs. Charleston, please...

should i continue with this?
