(Gilmore mansion, May 1,Lisa's 5th birthday)
Everyone was seemed to having a good life. Lorelai was 8 months pregnant with twins. Luke had people working around the clock trying to finish the extra room on their house before the babies came. Mina and Chris were expecting. Mina still hadn't told Chris but they were happy. And then there was Rory who was ok but not as happy as everyone else. She had her daughter. She had her boyfriend. She had her friends and family, but she wasn't happy.
It was Lisa's 5th birthday and everyone was gathered at the Gilmore mansion for a dress up tea party the Emily was throwing. Every one was their even Jess. Of course he wasn't dressed up like everyone else was but he was there.
"Happy birthday dear Lisa … happy birthday to you"Lisa was sitting on Rory's lap at the dinning table with Lorelai to her left and Mina to her right who had Katie on her lap "Make a wish"
"Wish grandma doesn't get any bigger" Lorelai pleaded
"Mom"
"Hey do you see me I am huge"
" Lisa wish for whatever you want" Rory said ignoring her mother. Lisa closed her eyes and blew out her candles
"What did you wish for?" Lorelai asked hoping she really did wish that she didn't get bigger
"That bad luck if she tells" Mina said to Lorelai
"No its not I want to know"
Rory was getting annoyed " Why is it your guys have this fight ever birthday"
"Because mom is nosy"
"Because Mina is mean"
Knowing were this was going Sookie tried to change the subject "Ok so I will cut the cake Luke will you serve the ice cream?"
"Sure"
Every one got up the table. Lisa was playing with Katie and her friends in the living room. Rory and Lorelai were on the couch with some guest having a conversation. Jess was leaning on the doorway to the living room watching Lisa play. His attention switched to Rory when he heard her sneeze. Mina who was standing by the bar noticed Jess starting at Rory. She also noticed the pain Jess had in his eyes.
Jess was so focused on Rory he hadn't even notice Mina came up to him
"You ok Jess"
"Yeah" he turned to her hoping she didn't notice him staring at her sister "Is she going to open her gifts?" glancing at Rory time to time. He couldn't understand why he was so fixated. She was playing with Lisa now. Lisa was mimicking Rory. She picked up her cup so did Lisa. Rory started pretending to tickle her self so that Lisa would do it, as soon as she did Rory grabbed her and started tickling her. He smiled ' god she beautiful,' he said in his head ' no, no, I am not doing this again' he turned his attention back to Mina.
"No she will open them when we get home" she said with a smile. She couldn't believe it Jess was in love with Rory, omg it was so obvious 'why cant these to idiots realize they are in love with each other'.
"Oh"
"Your welcome to join us"
"Ok"
"What are you doing for your birthday?"
"Nothing"
"Nothing"
"Nothing"
"You and Sandy aren't going to dinner or anything"
"Nope"
"Well your present is at the apartment"
"Is it a bomb?"
"Why would I waste a bomb on you?"
"Because I am suing your sister for custody of Lisa"
"Yes well a much as I hate you for that your still my boyfriends little brother. Even though we are a year apart, you know that's weird"
"What is?"
"Chris is 25 I ma 24 your 23 and Rory is 22"
"I guess"
Mina saw pain flash in Jess's eyes every time she mentioned Rory's name. She needs to come up with a plan to get these two together "I better go help Rory with all the kids. I am sure my grandma is having a heart attack about all the mess they are making
"Need any help?" he asked her not really paying attention to her
Mina paused for a minute. Jess finally noticed that Mina has been staring at Jess. Mina winked at Jess giving him a look. Jess recognized this look. It was Mina's look for 'I know something you don't know' she smiled at him "No ill make Chris do all the work"
Jess knew why she was smiling and knew should "Mina"
"Yeah"
"Thanks for not giving me a bomb"
"Your welcome" Mina said giving him an its going to be ok smile.
(Gilmore apartment, later that day)
"Ok present time, now you know how this works clothes one pile, toys other, jewelry gores to Rory and money comes to me and things you have absolutely no use for goes to grandma. Begin" Mina said giving Lisa a small well wrapped present
Lorelai took the card off the present "Ok this one is fore grandmother and grandfather so beware"
"Mom shut up" Rory glared at her
"I am just saying"
Rory ignored her mother " Lisa opens the present"
"Oh pretty" Lisa said twirling pearls around her wrist
"Are those real?" Lorelai asked
Mina grabbed the pearls from Lisa to examine them" Yes"
Lorelai turned to Luke "Hand me the phone"
" Lisa as pretty as those are you can only wear them inside ok" Rory said softly
"Ok" Lisa said in disappointment
" Next is from Sookie and Jackson" Rory said trying to get Lisa's mind off the pearls
"It's a Barbie, thanks"
Sookie who was sitting next to Lisa on the floor leaned in and gave her a hug "Aww your welcome sweetie"
" This is form Lane and Zack they had to go to band practice"
"No mom giving a 5-year-old pearls aren't a good idea," Lorelai said to her mother over the phone "a 16-year-old maybe but not 5… No I am not saying you don't know your own …yes she loved them…but what about a Barbie like you did last… yes I know its an important … mother you are not listening"
Rory laughed " Aww just like every birthday... its ends with Mom and Grandma yelling at each other."
(May 26 , Gilmore house)
The end of the month was nearing Mina and Rory were cleaning up them mess from Johnny's 5th birthday. Baseball themed. As every ones life was progressing Rory got more and more depressed. Logan was out of town. She made a deal with Jess that he gets Lisa every weekend, so he dropped the custody battle. Him and Sandy seemed to going great even though she never saw her. She stilled loved Jess and Logan. She was still unhappy.
"Rory"
" What" Rory said not looking up from the table she was cleaning up
"Can you watch Katie this weekend?"
" Where will you be?"
"In New York"
" New York
"Yes,"
" Why "
"I don't know, Chris wants to go to New York"
" O…. k"
"We can take her if you want" mina said noticing Rory tone
"No I can watch her"
"What's wrong buttercup"?
"Nothing"
"That's not an nothing face"
"Logan asked me to marry him"
"What"
"Yep"
"What did you say?"
"I said that I had to think about it"
"Rory"
" I know that I still love jess but jess is getting married he's moved on I should move on too"
"And marry Logan"
"Yes"
"No"
" Why not I love Logan and he loves me"
"Yes but your in love with another man"
"A man I can't have"
"You haven't tried"
" And break him and Sandy up. I could never live with my self"
"But you could live with the fact that the man you are married too is not" the man you are in love with" they were both yelling now
"Mina you don't understand Chris came back single. You guys didn't have any problems. Nothing to stand in your way, everything is prefect for you."
"So that justify s what you're going to do, I am lucky so it's ok for you to marry Logan"
"Mina I just want to be happy. Logan makes me happy"
"Yes but marriage and love isn't about always being happy. It's about commitment through pain and happiness"
"Oh how would you know about commitment?"
"It's only my job as a wedding coordinator"
" Yes you're right it's your job to see other people commit but never your self"
"What the hell does that mean"
"Huh you fell in love with a guy and then broke up with him, you cant keep a boyfriend past 3 months, wedding planner was your 4th career choice, you are re dating Chris even though you have had a kid together and when is your wedding oh wait you wont COMMIT to getting married, he will but you wont. Oh and lets not even talk about love. Because my sister who shows absolutely no emotion says she know how to love. Right. And you know the really sad part is. Katie is turning out to be just like you. She showed no emotion when she was kidnapped and the only emotions she knows hoe to show is annoyance. Just like her mother"
"Fine Rory I am a cold-hearted bitch who can commit. But you're a coward, when anything is to head lets back done and do what's easy. JUST LIKE JESS!" It was now a screaming war
"GOD I AM SO SICK OF YOU!"
"WHY YOU SHOWED ME WHAT I AM LIKE I JUST WANTED TO RETURN THE FAVOR. YOU'RE A LITTLE SELFISH CRY BABY WHO NEEDS TO GROW UP!"
"I WILL WHEN YOU DO. I DON'T BACK DOWN. AT LEAST I DIDN'T ALMOST GIVE MY DAUGHTER UP FOR ADOPTION!"
"GOT TO HELL!"
"RIGHT BACK AT YOU!"
"GIRLS" Lorelai screamed as loud as she could, glaring at both of her daughters.
They were yelling so loud they were both were unaware that Lorelai, Chris and Luke had enter the apartment. Mina walks past everybody and slammed the door behind her and every one turns back to Rory.
