Luke drove over to Anna's house the next week to pick April up and take her to the Hartford Museum.
"Hey Luke" Anna said warmly as she opened the door for him
"Hey, is April ready?" Luke asked
"She'll be ready in about 10 minutes, she overslept, you know how teenage girls are" Anna said still smiling
"Yeah" Luke said and smiled briefly
"Well, please sit down" Anna said gesturing to the couch. Luke took a seat
"So how are things going?" Anna asked sitting close to him on the same couch
"Um…..good….well not so good" Luke admitted
"Oh, Luke whats wrong?" Anna asked concerned
"Me and Lorelai are…getting divorced, my kids are mad and Emma might not even be my daughter" Luke said looking down
"Oh Luke, I'm so sorry!" Anna said and wrapped her arm around his waist
"Thanks, I'm trying to fix things and nothing I do seems to have any effect on them" Luke said starring at his shoes
"You know Luke, when I saw Emma that one time I thought in my head, that girl looks nothing like you" Anna said
Luke stiffened up "Is April ready to go, or no?" Luke spat standing up
"Did I say something to offend?" Anna asked
"No, I'm fine, I need to go fill up my truck I'll be back in 10 minutes" Luke said and left the house.
Back at the Lorelai's house
"I'm sorry" Will said looking at Max
"I am too" Max said looking down while Will tried to hold eye contact
"I know" Max said
"He's trying, he's trying really hard, he came to our game last week" Will reasoned with Max
"I know he's trying" Max said
"Then why wont you cut him a break?" Will asked
"I will" Max said meeting Will's gaze
"He's coming over tonight for dinner, were having a family dinner, everyone Mom, Em, me and you, grandpa, and even Max" Will said waiting for his brothers reaction
"You invited Max over" Max asked annoyed
"Hey chill, he might be Emma's dad, we have to bring this family back together" Will said
"We don't have to do anything, its not up to us" Max's tone getting annoyed
"Then who's it up to?" Will asked
"Dad" Max spat
"Well I just want to move this along, I hate being in this house, please Max just get on board, help me bring our family back together?" Will asked desperately
"Fine" Max said with an eye roll. Will grinned and punched Max lightly on the shoulder.
"Here, I'm putting this on speaker, I'm calling Max" Will said. He pulled up the number on his speed dial and called.
"Hello" Max answered
"Hi, I'm Will, Will Danes and I'm Emma's brother"
"Oh hello" Max answered confused
"I was just calling to invite you over for dinner tonight at 6:30 at my house" Will said
"Um sure, is this just going to be the two of us" Max asked slightly uncomfortable
"Oh god no, its with the whole family, you see were trying to get our family back together me and my brother Max and in order to do that everything needs to be layed on the table, including what we call the second father situation"
"Well, I appreciate the offer, but um I don't think I can give much help to the situation"
"Em will be there" Will said trying to lure her in
"I figured, but that doesn't cha-"
"Please Max, this would mean a lot to me, I know you don't know me, but you know Emma and…..just please do this" Will said cutting him off
"6:30?" Max asked with a sigh
"Thank you! And don't be late" Will said and ended the phone call.
In Emma's room she heard something near the window
"Adam, what are you doing here?" Emma asked
"I climbed the latter and here I am" Adam said in a cheerful British accent
" Okay, well come in I guess" Emma said and moved for Adam to come in
Adam sat on her bed "So lover girl, I saw you with your boyfriend last night, getting a little hot and heavy" Adam commented
"So that's what you're here for, to comment on my boyfriend and me?" Emma asked with a raised eyebrow
"Actually no, surprisingly to you Emma the whole world doesn't revolve around you, not everyone cares" Adam said looking at her deep in the eyes
"Well then, what do you want?" Emma asked annoyance registering
"I want Paige Nichols number" Adam said starring at her
"What, why?" Emma asked taken aback
"She's your best friend I figured you have her number"
"I do, I just don't get why you want it, are you working on a project together or something?" Emma asked
"Nope" Adam said
"Oh yeah that's right, I forgot you don't go to school" Emma spat
"Are you going to give me the number or not?" Adam asked pulling out his phone so that he could program it in
"I will, when you tell me why you want it" Emma said playing along with his game
"Fine, she's hot, I want to date her" Adam said
"What?…..But she's not your type…she's preppy, and popular" Emma finished flabbergasted
"I never said superficial wasn't my type" Adam said in amusement. Emma didn't say anything
"Besides what do you care, you have hunky football player?" Adam jabbed.
Emma gave him the number. When he stood up to leave he got really close to her ear
"You know you look really hot, first thing in the morning, if you didn't have a boyfriend, who am I kidding, I don't care if you have a boyfriend" Adam said and wrapped his arms around her. Emma swore her knees where going to cave in from shaking. Adam moved in and kissed her deeply and longer than Jordan ever did. When he pulled back he shrugged at her "Just wanted to see what it felt like" he said casually and left to leave. Emma was too stunned to do anything "Thanks for the number" he finished and left. Emma starred on stunned. Just then Will knocked on Emma's door
"Come in" she said quickly recovering
"So tonight don't make plans, me and Max are bringing this family back together" Will said leaning on the door frame
"Will, don't waste your time" Emma said with a sympathetic smile
"Its not wasting my time, its making my family whole again" Will answered in confusion
"Just let it go Will" Emma said and turned her back going to pick out something to wear for the day
"I cant believe you" Will said walking over to her
"I'm just done wishful thinking is all" Emma said
"What? You think you have some new daddy now, so now you don't care about dad and fixing things between him and mom"
'Its not up to us Will, this is dads problem, he did all of this, he needs to bring it back together" Emma said trying to stress her point
"You know Max isn't your dad, you can stop acting like he is" Will spat
"He could be my dad" Emma said taking offence
"Well he's not, even if he is biologically, he's not Luke Danes, so he's not your dad, did Max Medina raise you Em?" Will asked
"No" Emma responded
"Did he wait on you hand and foot when you were sick?"
"No"
"Did he spend almost all his free time with you when you were a kid?"
"No"
"Did he love you?"
"If he would've known"
"Did he love you Em?"
"No"
"And he's your dad?" Will asked. Emma remained silent
"Our family is failing Em, and I'm ask you to help bring it together, you love dad and you miss him, I know you do, just please help us"
Emma's eyes filled with tears. Will walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "I shouldn't have yelled at you, I'm sorry, everything is going to be okay" Will said and looked down at his sister
"Its sucks" Emma choked with the tears rolling down her face
"It does suck, that's why we need you on board"
"I just want mom and dad to get back together and we can all be together again"
"It will happen Em, I promise" Emma nodded and tried to smile.
Will smiled too and left to go figure out dinner.
In the kitchen Will was looking through the phone book when William walked in
"Look, your Aunt Liz sent me new pictures of Doula" William said with a bright smile. Will smiled "She's cute" Will said
"She is, what are you scheming over there with that phone book" William asked
"What makes you think I'm scheming anything?" Will asked with a smirk
"Because you are your grandpa grandson, and I know you" William said with raised eyebrows
"Were bringing the family back together" Will said with a grin
"I don't think that's such a good idea" William said patting Will on the shoulder
"Grandpa, this is a good idea, trust me" Will said looking back at the phone book for a restaurant that would cater
"Let the grown ups handle this" William said attempting to close the phonebook
"I'm 17, I'm not just some dumb kid, now your either on board or not on board, chose, because either way, were doing this" Will said and left the room to call his dad to get his dad to come.
As 6:00 approached the kids waited anxiously for their mom to come home
"Hey mom, how was your day? Will said sweetly as he took her coat
"It was okay, how was your day?" Lorelai asked with a smile seeing her son so happy
"Very productive" Will said and Emma jabbed him in his side with her elbow. All the kids starred at her with grins
"This is getting creepy, is one of you going to pull you hand from behind your back and have a knife and kill me?" Lorelai asked humored
The kids showed their hands as to say "Nope, nothing back here"
Lorelai gave them a puzzled look before going in her room
"We have to tell her" Max whispered to his brother
"Yeah I know, let her get changed" Will said and waited
The kids made their way up to their rooms to change clothes when the doorbell rang
Lorelai went to the door to get it to see Emily and Richard standing in front of her
"Um, hey what are you guys doing here?" Lorelai asked
"Lorelai sometimes I swear you can be so rude, we're here for a family dinner that we were invited to by our grandson" Emily said
"Will" Lorelai screamed and Will timidly made his way down with an innocent smile
"Explain this" Lorelai said with her arms crossed.
