The Truth Finally Comes Out

Disclaimer: I'm working on it but as of today I didn't yet own Gilmore Girls. At least, not the whole thing, just Milo. Oh, and I own my storyline and Alyssa Marks. I don't have much money so I don't own much else.

Summary: Lorelai tries to come to grips with the fact that she might have another daughter. Mostly a Lorelai chapter.

A/n Thanks everyone for the reviews, I'm surprised at the response so far and I want to thank these people personally. First of all Sam, what do you mean not to make Alyssa into a mary sue? Don't worry coffeechick, I may have read your story but mine is completely unique. I would never take anyone's work and I know you didn't accuse me. This idea just popped into my head one night as I lay in bed, so I got up and wrote some stuff down so I wouldn't forget. Thanks to coffechick87, Blacksnow, Eowyn19 and Graga Serrs for reviewing. Keep the reviews coming people it's great to be loved, lol. I wrote this Saturday night after I got home from a six hour shift at work, so hopefully it's good. Flashbacks are in italics. Sorry for the long a/n

The Truth Finally Comes Out

Chapter four, Tentative first Steps

"Hi Lorelai, I'm your daughter."

"My what? Excuse me honey, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. I think I would know if you were my daughter. I would have had to be pregnant for nine months and I don't remember doing that more than once" Lorelai states.

The small smile on Ali's face as she confronts her real mother vanishes as Lorelai's speech wears on.

"I have proof. I have the adoption papers." Ali tentatively states.

Lorelai wonders who this girl could be and after seeing that she does indeed have adoption papers she wonders how this could be.

Taking a closer look at the adoption papers Lorelai notices that the birth date is the exact same as Rory's. 'But, how can that be? That would mean…' Lorelai's thoughts trail off as she sinks into the couch.

Ali notices that far away look in her mother's eyes and decides it would be best to leave her alone to deal with this herself. She knows how she felt when she first found out. Ali quickly scribbles a note to tell her mother how to reach her and almost left right then, but then she remembered the diner and how it seemed like her mother loved coffee just as much as she did. So, she turned on the coffee maker and once the coffee was ready she set a mug down beside the note on the so aptly named coffee table in the living room and finally walks out the door.

Lorelai seems stuck in a trance throughout this entire encounter and doesn't notice Ali walking around the house and more amazingly; she doesn't even notice the cup of coffee sitting in front of her.

Thinking more about Alyssa's birthdate Lorelai remembers something

*Flashback*

Lorelai is sitting in a waiting room at a hospital. She is quite obviously pregnant. A nurse finally calls her name and she goes in to see the doctor.

Most of the appointment goes smoothly. The doctor says that everything is normal, and then he asks, "are you sure you would not like to have an ultrasound Miss Gilmore? It would allow you to see the sex of the baby?"

Lorelai quickly shakes her head, "why would a need to have an ultrasound Dr. Grant? I already know I'm having a baby girl. I can feel her, we're connected."

*End flashback*

"why didn't I just get that ultrasound" Lorelai asks to an empty room. She's beginning to feel a sense of dread in her stomach. This was her fault. If she hadn't have been stubborn, her baby girl would have grown up with her. Maybe even had the Gilmore coffee addiction.

At this time, Lorelai is yet unaware that Ali loves coffee just as much as Lorelai, and she didn't even grow up with the woman. I guess mothers can have a big impact even when they aren't there.

*Flashback*

Lorelai: or pinch you really hard, cause that might make me feel better.

Nurse: no, you cannot pinch me.

Lorelai: can I bite you or pull your hair or use the Epilady on you cause I really need to do something.

Emily: Lorelai Gilmore!

Lorelai: wheel this a little faster, please.

Emily: Lorelai, you do not do this. You do not just leave a person a note.

Lorelai: okay, see the timing here?

Emily: 'Dear mom and dad, I'm in labour. See you later, Lorelai.'

Lorelai: ow.

Emily: you're having a baby – did you know that, Lorelai?

Lorelai: well, that explains the stomachache.

 Emily: you do not leave your house when you are having a baby without telling your mother. You say, 'excuse me, mom. I'm having a baby, give me a ride to the damn hospital!' of all the things in the world I had a right to do, driving my daughter to the hospital to give birth, especially since she's 16 years old and doesn't have her driver's license yet, is definitely one of them.

Nurse: ma'am, I need you to wait out here, please.

Emily: why?

Nurse: because we're going into the delivery room.

Emily: I want to go in.

Lorelai: no, mom, please.

*End flashback*

After a lot of coaxing Emily had been allowed in the delivery room. Lorelai was so out of it that she didn't realize much that had been going on. All she knew was that she was so incredibly happy when they gave her that gorgeous baby girl. They took her away right after that to clean her, but knowing that it was over, and that baby was hers forever, she allowed to herself to pass out from exhaustion after hours of intense labour.

There was only one person who could have know if there was another baby born at that time, and that person would also have the authority to put it up for adoption. Her father had come rushing in along with her mother, but he had stayed out of the way, complaining the whole time and staying out of the delivery room. It must have been Emily.

At that Lorelai popped out of her so called trance with a fierce determination to see her mother, and finally bring everything out into the open. Before leaving the house, her eyes settled on the piece of paper and long cold coffee sitting on the coffee table. She read the note before leaving.

Dear Lorelai, I'm sorry to have spring this on you, but I needed answers. I just found out myself that I was adopted and it was a huge shock to me. I know you need time and I won't bother you, just please let me know when you've sorted through all this. I'm staying at the Independence inn, talk to you later.

*Ring, ring*

Emily Gilmore answers her front door ready to confront whomever it was doing that excessive ringing. Opening the door she is surprised to find Lorelai standing there.

"Lorelai, how nice of you to drop by and visit with you parents and it's not even a Friday," Emily says sarcastically. "Where's Rory today?"

"No you don't mom. Don't play the poor mother with me. I'm not here for a pleasant social visit. How could you mother?" Lorelai yells

"Lorelai, what on earth are you talking about? As always you are making very little sense." Emily states with a look of confusion.

"You know what I'm talking about. Let me take you back to a time you would love to forget. A time when your darling, screw up, socialite daughter made the biggest mistake of her life. She got pregnant. You remember that day in the hospital. I didn't want you in the delivery room but you insisted because I was your darling daughter. Now, do you remember what happened in that room that day? Of course you do. You stole my baby girl and put her up for adoption. You didn't even tell me mom. Why?" Lorelai screamed at her mother.

Right as Lorelai finishes her speech, Richard begins to walk into the room and stops rooted in the entryway dumbfounded.

"Emily, what is she talking about?" Richard asks.

Emily breaks down in tears as she begins to speak again.

"I'm so sorry Lorelai, but you knew how I felt. You were messing up your life. You weren't even supposed to have one child at sixteen. How was I supposed to let you have two? You weren't ready. I saw an opportunity to save that child and you in the process and I just took it. I didn't think about anything else. If I had the opportunity back, I would do the exact same thing. You wouldn't be the same person you are today if you had two children. You never would have left and you certainly couldn't be as successful as you are. You should be thanking me Lorelai." Emily finishes. 

"Thanking you? Thanking you for not giving me the opportunity to raise my own child, to know my own child? Did you know she came to see me? Yea, she's gorgeous, and nice, and I don't know much more about her mother because of you." Lorelai finishes and turns around to walk out the door, stopping once to say that her and Rory wouldn't be coming to Friday's dinner, and probably no other Friday either.

a/n what do you guys think. I don't think this is as good a chapter as the others but I wanted to put something up. I probably won't get the next chapter up for a couple days, I still have no idea where I'm gonna take this story, but I will continue with it. If anyone has an ideas they would like to share, just email me, I'll be sure to give you credit where they're used. Don't forget to reviews. I get lonely and sad when no one reviews. You don't want me shivering in a cold dark room all by myself do you? Lol. Anyway…enough rambling, the next chapter will have Rory in it, since we haven't seen her really. How do you guys think she should react to the news?
