"Liv! I need your help down here!" Liv Lorelai Mariano sighed and ignored her great-uncle calling her from the diner below the apartment she was in. A few minutes later her twin brother burst into the apartment.
"Uncle Luke needs your help in the diner now." Christopher Hayden Gilmore-Mariano said to his sister. He looked at her lying on the couch in Luke's apartment watching TV. He looked between Liv and the TV. He grabbed his sister's arm and started to pull her out of the apartment.
"Just assume Will gets out of whatever situation he got himself into." You hear the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air music playing in the background.
"Thanks ruin it for me." Liv said as she was dragged down the stairs.
" Livi! How are you dahling?" Lorelai Victoria Gilmore the Second asked her granddaughter in an exaggerated voice.
" I'm fine Dahling." Chris sighed and nodded his head and went back to the kitchen where his Luke put him on grill.
"Liv, get to work." Luke said to her. Liv started busing a table.
"Chris get your Grandmamma, a cup of coffee please."
"No stay back there Chris." Lorelai glared at Luke, she turned to Liv.
"So where are your darling parents this afternoon?" Liv moved on to the next table.
"Mom's over at the school getting things ready for school next week, and Dad is…Chris where's Dad?"
"I think in Hartford. He has a new assignment. I think there's an comeback Michelle Branch concert there so he's covering it." He yelled from the back.
Liv finished busing the tables and went behind the counter. Chris came out and put a plate of fries and a burger in front of Lorelai. Rory walked in and sat down at the counter.
"Liv coffee. Now." Liv got her mother a cup of coffee, as well as one for herself and Lorelai. Chris had his Dad's taste buds and thought that coffee was to use a word from Rory and Lorelai, evil. Liv pushed her straight brown hair that she inherited from her mother behind her ear. Chris sat down on a stool next to his mother. She messed his hair. He pulled away and smiled the smile that he inherited from his father.
"So you kids ready for school to start tomorrow?" Liv groaned, but Chris smiled. He was definitely his mother's son.
"Yeah I guess. I don't wanna go to Hell again this year." Rory looked at her daughter.
"Too bad missy. Your going."
"I don't wanna go either Liv, but we have too."
"Hey Liv? Try not to get into too much trouble this year." Liv shrugged her shoulders.
"It's genetic." She walked away.
~~Next Day~~
"Liv wake up!" Jess walked into his daughter's room at 6:00 in the morning. It was her first day of school and she took a long time in the
bathroom, and they still had to get Chris and Rory through. So the drill was, Jess wake up at 5:30, goes into the bathroom, out by 6:00. He goes and
wakes Liv up, who is as hard to get up as Lorelai and Rory, and she goes in what eventually is 6:15. She gets out, and Rory and Chris go in quickly and
they're all out of the house by 7: 15 when Liv and Chris caught the bus to Chilton at 7:30-7:45. This system has worked for as long as the twins have been
in school and since they're entering they're junior year in high school, it's been going pretty well.
Jess walked over to his daughter's stereo and turned off the soft sounds of the ocean. He then sat on her bed and started tickling her. She giggled
in her sleep and turned over. Jess tickled her again.
"Okay. I'm up. I'm up." Liv sat up and Jess handed her a cup of coffee which she drank greedily. He stood up and went upstairs to the kitchen.
He walked into the kitchen where he made more coffee for the women in his life. Eventually the smell wafted down the hall to the split- level house and woke Rory. A few minutes later Rory walked in and hugged and kissed her husband of 18 years. Within 45 minutes, the family of four was eating a breakfast that Jess had made at the kitchen table. Within minutes everything was eaten, both kids had their backpacks on and bus books in hand. Liv and Chris walked to the bus stop as Jess walked Rory to Stars Hollow High where she was an English teacher.
~~Chilton~~
Liv was at her locker, ready to start her junior year. Yeah sure she looked like her mother, but in school, she was much more like her father. Not as much as a I-don't-give attitude, and she wasn't allowed to get her grades past a C, her mother's rule, but if there was a prank pulled everyone directly looked at Liv Mariano. Chris on the other hand was the carbon copy of his dad, except his attitude for school, his determination, was all his mother. They both had the wit and banter thing going though. A girl she didn't recognize came up to the locker next to hers. The girls had blonde hair and a smile that all the guys fell for. She turned and smiled at Liv.
"Hey." Liv nodded and turned to her now open locker.
"I'm Lauren Dugrey." 'This girl doesn't know how to take a hint.' Liv thought.
"Liv Mariano." The two girls turned back to their respective lockers and Chris walked up.
"Ok so Liv, Mom told me to make sure you don't get in trouble the first day so why don't you actually listen this time and not get in trouble so my jobs a lot easier?" Liv shrugged.
"Hi. I'm Lauren Dugrey." Chris looked at the girl standing next to his sister. She was beautiful. She had hair that he wanted to run his hand through, and a smile that could melt him, and her eyes, his knees almost buckled. They were the same baby blue as his mother and sister's but on her it was…breathtaking. Liv nudged him, trying not to laugh.
"Uh… right I'm Chris Mariano." They shook hands and both felt a tremor run through their bodies.
"Well I gotta get to class," Lauren said pulling her hand away.
"Yeah, me too." She walked away, and as soon as she was out of earshot, Liv burst out laughing.
"What?" She just laughed and walked down the hall to their homeroom.
