Well, due to popular demand, and my feelings on this story, it's Tristan :D Jess and Rory, WILL be friends, but any romance will be with Tristan alone :D

A/N 2: I'm aware that Gigi is a nick name for Georgina, but I wanted to put my twist on it.... :D Which doesn't matter now... :D



Gigi and Rory walked up the steps of City hall, hand in hand. Rory could tell that Gigi was nervous.

'What's up hon?' she asked her.

'Nothing.' Gigi muttered.

Rory smiled, 'Well, I can tell something's up, cause you're acting like me when I'm upset.'

Gigi sighed, 'What if my full name is worse than 'Gigi'?'

Rory smiled, 'Sweets, unless your mother named you something like Gertrude or Fredricka, I don't think it's gonna be worse. Why don't we just go in, find out, and then decide what you want to do, kay?'

'Kay.' Gigi said, smiling up at Rory.

'Ready hon?' Rory asked, as she opened the door.

'Ready.' Gigi replied, and followed Rory up to the desk..

Rory cleared her throat to get the attention of the bored teenager behind the desk, who was filing her nails and blowing bubbles with her gum.

'Yeah?' she questioned, through the wad of pink gum.

'Hi. We're trying to find out what her,' Rory said, pointing at Gigi, 'name is on her birth certificate..'

The girl smacked her gum again, and pointed up the hallway. 'Third door on the right, tell 'em Gina sent you.' She said, and went back to filing her nails.

Rory rose an eyebrow, and then smiled, 'Uh, thanks.' she said. 'Come on sweets. Let's go.' She said to Gigi.

They entered the room that they'd been directed to by Gina, and went up to the desk. Before Rory could open her mouth to repeat their request, the man sitting behind the computer looked up at them, and said, 'Gina send you?'

Rory nodded. 'Yeah.'

The man smiled and looked at them, as if he was studying them, and then spoke. 'You're trying to figure out what her real name is?' he questioned, gesturing at Gigi.

Rory looked at him shocked, 'How...'

The man grinned, 'Gina rang me and told me. It's quiet round here today, so I'll look it up for you now.' He reached under the deck and pulled out a clip board, and handed it to Rory. 'Fill this stuff out, and once you're done, I'll have a look in the archives for you.'

Rory and Gigi sat down at one of the many tables that filled the room. Occasionally Rory turned to Gigi to ask her a question related to the forms, but soon they were finished, and they took them back to the man at the counter.

'OK,', he said, 'I'm just going to enter the relevant info into the system, and I should have a copy of her birth certificate up soon.

Gigi, by this point was tired, bored and wanted to go home.. or at least the place that would become home. She tugged at the bottom of Rory's coat. 'Mom, I'm bored!' she exclaimed.

The guy behind the counter looked at them in shock, 'You're her mom? I thought that you two were sisters!' he said.

Rory smiled at him, 'We are. But I'm her guardian.'

The guy nodded, 'Oh.' And then turned back to the computer. 'OK, the info's in. I'm gonna print a copy of the certificate for you.'

Seconds later, he handed them a piece of paper. 'Here you go ladies.' He said smiling at them.

Rory smiled back and peaked at his name tag, 'Thanks. Craig.'

Rory smiled at Gigi. 'So, you wanna wait till we get home to take a look, or do it now?'

Gigi looked up at her, and quietly said, 'Here.'

Rory pulled the birth certificate out of the envelope and looked at it. 'Ohmigod!' she murmured.

Gigi looked at her in horror, 'Oh god, it's worse that Gigi isn't it? It's something awful..'

Rory cut her off. 'No honey, look,' she handed Gigi the certificate, 'Your mom was being well, literal when she called you Gigi. That's you initials. You're G.G Hayden...'

Gigi looked at her, 'Georgina Gaia Hayden...'

Rory smiled, 'Yup.'

Gigi smiled at her, 'So, I guess I'm Georgina now..' she said, trailing off.

Rory smiled at her, 'You're whoever you want to be.... Who do you want to be?' she questioned, unsure of what her newly adopted daughter wanted to be called.

Gigi looked at her seriously, and then firmly said, 'I want to be a Gilmore. I've never really been a Hayden... that's not who I am.'

Rory smiled at her. 'If that's what you want honey. We'll talk about it at home, and then we can change your name officially for you, kay?'

Gigi smiled. 'Cool. And call me Georgia, kay. not quite Georgina, but I'm not sure I want to be like 'Gina' at the counter back there.' She said, scrunching up her nose.

Rory grinned, 'God, Gigi... I mean, Georgia, you sound just like I used to when I was your age!'

Georgina grinned, 'Well, we ARE related..' She said.

'Good point.' Rory said, smiling. They walked silently towards Rory's car, before Rory suddenly said, 'Do you like to read?'

Georgina's eyes lit up, 'Yes!' she said enthusiastically. 'When we go get my stuff, I'll show you all my books!'

Rory's face broke out into a full smile, 'Cool! I'm so glad that you're a book lover... cause other wise, we'd be lost.' She said winking at Georgina.



A/N: Again, not so long.. I've been job hunting today, so I haven't had much spare time. I'm gonna make a good start on chapter 4 later tonight, though and hopefull it'll be longer than this one!!
