Lorelai closed the door to the Jeep and said quickly to Rory, "Go stand over there, I need to talk to Chris first."
Rory nodded as Lorelai walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
A maid answered. "I need to speak with Chris," Lorelai said.
The maid motioned her in and Lorelai stood in the foyer as the maid went upstairs to get Chris.
Her mind wandered as she thought about what she could have had. Her eyes looked around at all the fancy decorating and furniture. It wasn't like Chris she'd known back in high school, but it was like the Chirs that lived here now.
Lorelai had come to visit Chris only twice since Rory had been given up for adoption. She hadn't been back in ten years, it had been too painful the first two times.
"Lor?" Chris's voice invaded her thoughts.
"Hi Chris," Lorelai said. "I guess you know why I'm here."
"Yeah," Chris said. "Where's Rory?"
"She's outside Chris, but I have to warn you, she hasn't had an easy childhood. She grew up with five brothers in a tiny house in New York City. She's a tomboy now from living with all of them. She told me it was easier that she just wore her older brother's clothes before they were passed down to her other brothers," Lorelai said.
Chris nodded and walked to the door. Rory stood looking out at the road.
Chris stopped and Lorelai stopped next to him. "Rory?" Chris called to her.
Rory turned quickly and started to walk towards them.
"She looks like you," Chris said.
"She did when she was born too," Lorelai said. "But you wouldn't know that would you?"
"Not this again," Chris said. "You've held this grudge against me for 16 years, I'm sorry I didn't come to the hospital with you."
Lorelai didn't say anything.
"Hi," Rory said softly as she approached them.
"Hi," Chris said. "I'm Chris."
"I know," Rory said.
Chris shifted uncomfortably. "Would you like to meet my family?"
Rory nodded. "Sure."

Rory entered a large playroom to see a boyl playing on the ground, a girl sitting on the window seat staring out the window and twirling her hair, and a blonde haired woman who looked very pregnant sitting in a rocking chair.
"G.G., Carver, come here and meet your half-sister Rory," Chris said to the kids.
"Rory," Chris said. "This is G.G., she's 14, and Carver, he's ten. And that's Sherry my wife."
"Hi," Rory said.
G.G. stood before her and looked her over. Rory was wearing baggy jeans and a sweatshirt as usual. "Nice clothes," she said sarcastically before walking over to her mother.
Rory heard her whispering loudly. "Why did Dad have to bring her here? Both of them."
Sherry sighed and walked up to Chris motioning to him. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
They disappeared out into the hall and into another room.
"I'm going to go use the bathroom," Lorelai said.
Lorelai walked into the hall to hear Sherry yelling at Chris.
"Why did you have to bring her back?" Sherry said harsly. "You know we all hate her. She was a part of your past, why does she have to be a part of your life now. And your daughter. Why did you even have to introduce her to our kids? You couldn't just meet Rory somewhere else, no you had to meet her here did you?"
Lorelai was frozen in the doorway of the playroom as she listened to Sherry yell about her more.
"They always do that," a voice said from next to her. Lorelai turned to see Carver standing next to her.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Lorelai said.
"They're never happy," Carver said sadly. "You and Rory make him happy. Who are you?"
Lorelai remembered Carver had only been a few months old when she'd seen him last.
"I'm an old friend of Chris," Lorelai said. "Rory's our daughter."
"How come I've never met you before?" Carver asked.
Lorelai smiled. "Rory was living in New York with an adopted family, you know what that is right?"
Carver nodded. "That's the kind of people my younger brother lives with."
"Younger brother?" Lorelai asked.
Carver nodded again. "Kaden, he's not Daddy's son though and Daddy made her put him up for adoption. He's almost two now."
Lorelai nodded looking calm. But inside she was confused. Sherry had an affair? She had never heard anything about this either.
Lorelai entered the playroom again and motioned to an uncomfortable Rory. "We're leaving now."
Lorelai turned to Carver. "Tell your Dad we left and it was nice seeing him."
Lorelai walked downstairs and out the door with Rory right behind her.
