Summary: When Gigi Hayden's parents die, leaving her a millionaire orphan at age 7, it's up to her big sister Rory, to turn her life around, and begin new. Established Luke/Lorelai relationship.
Disclaimer: Luke lives in my kitchen and cooks for me. Lorelai chooses my clothes and does my hair every morning. Rory does my homework and takes all my tests for me. Tristen, Jess and Dean are my love slaves and Lane is in charge of my stereo. There ya go. You all found out the truth..... honestly, it's all true.. I swear. *SIGH* Fine, they aren't mine. Never have been, never will be. I'm merely using them and them dumping them.
Rory Gilmore was back home in Stars Hollow, on a forced vacation.
'Ror?' she heard her mom call out.
'Yeah?' Rory answered from her position, splayed out on the couch.
'How long are you here for?' Lorelai asked as she entered the room.
Rory rolled her eyes, 'Paris said that she wasn't letting me back into the office until I'd had at least a weeks vacation.'
Lorelai grinned, 'Goody. We're taking Lee Lee shopping.' She said, referring to Rory's 5 year old sister.
'Mom,' Rory said, 'Lee Lee has school.'
Lorelai rolled her eyes, 'It won't hurt her to miss one day of school.'
Rory sighed, 'Fine. but wait till Dad hears about it.. he won't be happy.'
Lorelai grinned at her daughter, loving the sound of her calling Luke, Dad. 'Well, he won't find outa bout it.'
Rory laughed, 'Yeah, like you can keep a secret!'
Lorelai gasped, 'I can so!'
Rory smirked, 'Can not.' she said, and was about to say more, when the phone rang.
'Where is it?!?!" Lorelai yelled running around the lounge.
Rory pulled the cordless out form under a sofa cushion and answered it. 'Hello?'
'Is Lorelai Gilmore Danes there please?' a voice replied.
'Hang on..' Rory said, waving the phone at her mother. 'Mom. For you.'
'Yup?' Lorelai asid into the phone.
'Mrs Danes, I'm Detective Morris. I'm trying to contact your daughter. A... Lorelai Leigh Gilmore Danes?'
Lorelai frowned, 'Hang on.' She turned to Rory. 'Ror. It's a detective. you haven't been doing anything illegal have you?'
Rory rolled her eyes, 'Just give me the phone mom.' She took the phone, 'Hello?'
Lorelai flopped down on the couch next to Rory, just as Rory shakily stood up and covered her hand with her mouth. 'When?' she asked quietly into the phone.
Lorelai frowned, 'Ror?' she asked.
Rory held her hand up, and then listened to the speaker on the other end of the phone line, 'OK. Thank you detective.' And hung up.
Rory collapsed onto the couch next to Lorelai and turned to look at her, with pain in her eyes.
Lorelai frowned, concerned and asked, 'What's wrong?'
'He's dead.' Rory stated.
'Who?'
'Dad... Christopher.. he's dead.'
Lorelai gasped, 'What? When????'
'Yesterday... Sherri.. In a car. They're both dead.'
Lorelai sat, stunned, 'What about Gigi. is she ok?'
Roy nodded. 'She wasn't with them.... I'm. I mean, she's mine now. They left me as her guardian.'
Lorelai gasped again, 'You're kidding!'
'Nup.'
'But..' Lorelai said, stuttering, 'You can't afford a kid..'
Rory sighed. 'Money doesn't matter. Gigi's a millionaire orphan, and Dad apparently left me half of everything..'
Lorelai turned to look at her, 'Which would make you.. a millionaire too..' She said trailing off.
Rory looked down, 'I guess so.. I can't believe he's dead. I mean, I know I hardly ever see... saw him, but he's still my father.. My birth father at least.'
Lorelai pulled Rory into a hug, 'I know sweets. I know.... It doesn't mean you can't love him. No matter how much he mucked up, or stayed away, he's always gonna be part of you...'
Rory wiped her face, in an effort to stop the tears that were streaming down her checks.
At that moment a little girl, walked into the room, a stuffed dog in her arms and a tattered blanket trailing behind her. 'Momma?' she questioned. 'Why's Rory cryin'?'
Lorelai lifted her head from Rory's shoulder and held her other arms out, 'Come here sweetpea. Mommy and Rory had some bad news.'
The little girl sat down on Lorelai's lap and looked up at her with her big brown eyes, 'Huh?' she asked.
Rory looked at her, 'Lee Lee, You remember how even though Daddy's not my Dad, I still call him Dad?'
'Yeah.' Lee Lee said.
'Well my real Daddy, he died yesterday.'
Lee Lee's eyes got big and round. 'Died?' she questioned. 'He's gone to heaven with grandpa?'
Rory nodded, 'Yeah. And see, the thing is, his wife died too. Which means that my little sister, Gigi.. You remember gigi?' she asked.
Lee Lee nodded.
'Well, Gigi doesn't have a mommy and daddy anymore. And so, I'm gonna be her mommy.'
'Oh.'
Rory looked at Lorelai for reassurance, as to what she'd just said.
Lorelai smiled at her, 'That was perfect sweets... you're gonna make a great mom.'
Rory smiled weakly, and muttered, 'Yeah.but is Gigi gonna be a good daughter?'
