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?

Chapter 9
Lorelai opened the door to her Jeep and walked out on to the Gilmore driveway.
She adjusted her skirt before walking to the door and ringing the doorbell.
***
Rory adjusted the skirt she was wearing up in Lorelai's old room. It was a little more her than the other ones her grandmother had made her get so she was pretty happy with it.
She heard the doorbell ring and she took a deep breath.
"This is it," she told herself.
She looked around the room. Her backpack filled with the stuff she'd originally brought to Hartford and one of Emily's suitcases sat by the door. She would be leaving here tonight and she would be living with her real mother. Her birth mother.
***
Lorelai walked in the door as the maid held it open and her mother came to greet her.
"Lorelai," Emily said. "How nice to see you."
"Hi Mom," Lorelai said handing the maid her coat. "Where's Rory?"
"She should be coming down soon," Emily said. "She wasn't dressed when I was up there five minutes ago but she'd at least finally finished packing."
Lorelai nodded and heard noise on the stairs. She looked to see Rory walking down them.
"Hi Rory," Lorelai said, suddenly unsure of how to act.
"Hi," Rory said. What was she supposed to call her? Mom or Lorelai or even Ms. Gilmore?
"Don't you look nice," Emily said to Rory.
"Thanks Grandma," Rory said smiling and coming the rest of the way down the stairs.
"Well dinner is ready so why don't we go get your grandfather and eat," Emily said.
"Sounds good," Rory said.
"Anything that has food in it sounds good to me too," Lorelai said.
Rory noticed Emily roll her eyes.
***
"Well Mom," Lorelai said. "I better be going."
"But it's only 9 o'clock," Emily said.
"I know," Lorelai said. "But I'd like to take Rory around Stars Hollow and have her meet everyone before Luke's closes."
"Luke's?" Rory asked.
"Only the best diner with the best coffee in the world," Lorelai said.
"Well," Emily said. "I guess so. Rory, go get your stuff."
Rory smiled and bolted out of her chair and up the stairs.
"Wow," Lorelai said. "She moves fast."
"She grew up with seven brothers," Emily said.
"Really?" Lorelai asked. "They only had one when she was adopted. They didn't think they could have more kids."
"Well they could apparently," Emily said. "And they had 5 more. Rory said she was the only one in the house with her own bedroom. All the boys stayed in the same one."
"Wow," Lorelai asked. "I thought they had a big house or something like that."
"Well apparently the father lost his job and they moved to a small house in New York."
Lorelai nodded and Rory raced back down the stairs.
"Ready?" Lorelai asked her.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Rory said.
Lorelai smiled.
"Bye Grandma," Rory said dropping her suitcase to give her grandmother a hug.
"Bye Rory," Emily said. "Don't be a stranger."
"I won't," Rory said. "I'll stop by after school sometimes."
Emily nodded. "Bye!" She yelled to Rory and Lorelai as they walked to Lorelai's Jeep.
She closed the door slowly and wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
