Tomboy
By Emily Carol
Summary: AU - Richard and Emily forced Lorelai and Christopher to put Rory up for adoption after she was born. Now Rory's 16 and living in a family full of boys on the outskirts of New York City. A search for her actual mother on her 16th birthday throws her into a life she never expected. Can a tomboy like her stand it?
Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls (and I didn't last chapter either... life can be so unfair)

Still looking for betas for On Eagle's Wings, e-mail me if interested. Or leave a note in your review.
Yeah, I have no life, I'm becoming a nocturnal freak... and I'm adding a bunch of chapters tonight because I have writer's block.

Chapter 5
"What?" Mrs. Gilmore said.
"My name is Lorelai Leigh," Rory said. "And I believe I may be related to you somehow."
"Well you are, and if that's all you need to know, you can leave," Mrs. Gilmore said staring at Rory. Rory didn't move. "Now!"
"That's not all I need to know," Rory said softly.
"Well there's not much I can tell you," Mrs. Gilmore said. "Your mother is my daughter, her name is Lorelai as well, Lorelai Victoria. That's it."
"Where is she?" Rory asked.
"Some small town near here, she doesn't contact us much, she just comes for holidays," Mrs. Gilmore said.
"Is there some way I can meet her?" Rory asked.
Mrs. Gilmore stared at her and sighed, "Fine. You will stay with us until Thanksgiving."
"Thanksgiving?" Rory asked. "But that's almost two months away!"
"I told you, she only comes for holidays, and Halloween isn't one of them," Mrs. Gilmore said.
Rory nodded. "Thank you."
"You will sleep in her room," Mrs. Gilmore said walking up the stairs, Rory followed her. The door opened to reveal a large room with lots of girly stuff. "You can use the phone if you need to," she motioned to the phone. "I've got to attend a meeting in an hour. I suppose you should come with me. Do you have appropriate clothes?"
Rory looked down at what she was wearing. "I don't think so." She said.
Mrs. Gilmore sighed. "Fine, I'll be here in fifteen minutes to take you shopping," she said and she walked out of the room.
Rory sighed and walked to the phone. She punched in the number of her home in New York.
"Hello?" she heard Jake's voice on the other line.
"Jake?" Rory asked.
"Rory?" Jake asked. "Is that you?"
"Yeah," Rory said. "I'm Hartford."
"I know," Jake said. "Did you find your mom?"
"No, although I've found my grandmother, apparently I get to stay here until Thanksgiving when I get to meet my mother," Rory said. "Listen, my number here is 555-2145," Rory read off of the phone book sheet. "Call me if something happens I need to know about, but only then."
"We miss you Rory," Jake said.
"I know," Rory said. She sighed. "Tell Elizabeth I'll talk to her another time, I've got to go, bye."
Rory hung up the phone without waiting to hear Jake's voice again. The pain of hearing his voice was all too much, she missed him.
But she was here on a mission, which she planned to finish.
