Lorelai was the first to pull up at the house with Yvonne only a minute behind her. Lorelai watched as Yvonne got out of her car. Yvonne walked over to Lorelai and was about to say something but Lorelai cut her off "Inside." was all she said but from that Yvonne knew this was going to be something big. Lorelai entered the house first as Yvonne followed slowly. As Yvonne entered the living room Lorelai turned and looked at her sister. "While you were out I had a talk with Charlie." Lorelai watched Yvonne to see her reaction.

"Oh." was all Yvonne could say as she sat on the couch.

Lorelai sat across from Yvonne. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Yvonne looked at her hands as she spoke. "I didn't tell you because until today I haven't talked about it with anyone." Looking up at Lorelai. "I know I should have been the one to tell you but it's so hard to talk about."

"You could talk about it with Max but not me, is that it?" Lorelai asked.

A look of anger appeared on Yvonne's face. "How did you know I was with Max?" Yvonne waited for a moment for Lorelai to respond. When Lorelai didn't respond Yvonne's anger level increased. "Did you follow me?" Yvonne yelled.

"Yes I did!" Lorelai yelled back.

Realizing that yelling will not help the situation Yvonne clammed herself. "Why?"

"I don't know." Lorelai answered as she ran her hands through her hair.

Yvonne and Lorelai sat in silence, neither one sure of what to do or say next. Lorelai was about to break the silence when Yvonne's cell phone rang. Yvonne reached for it but when she saw the look on Lorelai's face she let it ring. "Lorelai what's really going on?" Yvonne asked with concern.

Lorelai leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed. "I don't know. I just feel like I don't even know you." Lorelai opened her eyes and looked at Yvonne. "Does that sound crazy to you?" Lorelai asked.

"No it doesn't. Lorelai we haven't seen or spoken to each other since I was like 6 or 7, how could you possibly know me?" Yvonne explained.

Lorelai sighed knowing Yvonne was right. "I know but you're my sister and it's not right that we don't know each other."

Yvonne smiled at Lorelai. "I agree it's not right but that's why I'm here, so we can get to know each other."

"You're right." Lorelai smiled and joined Yvonne on the couch. "This is something that will take time. So we better get started." Lorelai says with a smile.

Lorelai and Yvonne spent the rest of the weekend talking and getting to know each other. Yvonne told Lorelai about traveling with Charlie and Lorelai told Yvonne about raising Rory. It's now Monday morning and Lorelai and Yvonne were on their way to meet Rory at the bus station when Charlie approached them.

"Yvonne do you think we could talk?" he asked shyly.

Yvonne looked from Charlie to Lorelai. "I don't know Charlie."

Lorelai interrupted. "I'll get Rory and meet you at Luke's"

Yvonne turned to her sister "Um...okay." she said as she watched Lorelai walk away. Yvonne turned back to Charlie. "Let's sit in the gazebo." Charlie and Yvonne walked to the gazebo in silence. "So what did you want to talk about?" Yvonne asked as she sat down.

Charlie sat across from Yvonne. "I want to talk about us."

"What do you mean?" asked a confused Yvonne.

Charlie looked into Yvonne's eyes as he spoke. "I love you Yvonne and I want you to come home with me." Charlie got up from where he was sitting and sat next to Yvonne. "I made the biggest mistake of my life the day I walked out on you. After we lost the baby and we stopped talking I felt so lost, I mean the day we lost the baby I felt like I lost you too." Charlie quickly looks away from Yvonne trying to hide his unshed tears. "I know it was hard for you too but you completely shut me out."

Yvonne sat for a moment as she realized what she had done. "Charlie I'm so sorry for what I did." she said wiping away his tears. "I know you were hurting too I just didn't know how to deal with what I was feeling and every time I would look in your eyes all I could see was all the pain you were feeling." Yvonne looked deep into Charlie's eyes. "I'm so sorry" she whispered.

Charlie leaned forward and kissed Yvonne with all the passion he was feeling, he pulled her into his lap as they continued to kiss. Yvonne wrapped her arms around his neck as she opened her mouth to allow his tongue to meet hers. Charlie pulls back slightly. "Are you with him?"

Yvonne looks at Charlie with a look of confusion. "Him?" she asks running her fingers through his hair.

"Max. When I talked to Lorelai the other day she said you and Max were together."

Yvonne looked deep into Charlie's eyes. "I was at Max's but we are not together." Yvonne watched as a smile slowly made it way across Charlie's lips.

"Do you think we could start over?" Charlie asked, his voice full of hope.

"There is something you need to know first." Yvonne said as she moved from his lap to sit next to him on the bench.

"What?" his voice that was so full of hope was now full of worry.

Yvonne looked at the ground. "When I was at Max's the other day he kissed me." Yvonne paused for a moment. "And I kissed him back."

Charlie sat for a moment and let what Yvonne said sink in. Without saying anything to Yvonne, Charlie got up and walked away.
