"I got in, oh my god I got in," Rory jumped up and down, she was so happy. Here was what she'd been waiting for her whole life and there was no one here to celebrate with her. She'd gotten into Harvard.
There were also letters from Princeton, Yale and Stanford on the floor. Rory felt a little relieved now that she knew she'd gotten into Harvard. She opened the remaining letters, she'd gotten into all her schools. She screamed in happiness.
She grabbed her jacket and her keys, and her letters and ran out to her little Fiat. She gunned the engine and flew down the road.

Emily Gilmore was currently reading a garden magazine when she heard a car roaring into the driveway. She walked elegantly to the door, and opened it. Totally unprepared for the whirlwind that her granddaughter embraced her into.
"Is Grandpa here?" she asked, her face beaming so brightly, she looked outrageously happy.
"Yes he's in his study, what on earth is the matter Rory?" Emily said to air, Rory dragged her down the hallway to Richard's study.
Rory burst in the door, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to disturb you both, but I had to share this wonderful news with someone."
"Well what is it Rory?" Richard asked.
"I got into Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Princeton," she screamed happily.
Richard looked pole-axed, "You got into ... Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Stanford." He repeated. "This calls for a celebration, where's your mother?"
"I haven't told her yet," Rory said indifferently.
"Why?" Emily asked.
"We're not really speaking right now," Rory revealed.
"Well, how we all go out to dinner tonight?" Richard asked.
"Sure, can I bring Jess Mariano, he's my boyfriend?" Rory asked.
"Mariano, is that Drake Mariano's son?" Richard asked.
"Yes, his father and mother died a couple of months ago in a plane crash, I'm sure you know all about it," Rory explained.
"Yes of course, bring Jess, we can get to know him," Richard said.
"I suppose your mother will want to bring her boyfriend," Emily asked.
"Luke? Oh yeah, I want him to be there as well," Rory said.
"How about tonight at 8, we'll pick you up at your house, dinner will be a surprise," Emily asked.
"Great, I can't wait, thanks for being here for me and being so happy for me," Rory hugged both her grandparents.
"Well of course, we're very proud of you, and we love you," her grandparents said.
"See you tonight at 8," Rory said on her way out the door.
"I wonder what she and Lorelai are not speaking about?" Emily wondered aloud.
"No doubt we'll find out tonight," Richard said.

Lorelai was sitting in Luke's diner having her usual hamburger, fries and coffee.
Rory walked in the diner, she went up to the counter and said something to Luke. He looked shocked, then he smiled, like a doting father would and hugged her. He pointed her up the stairs.
Luke walked over to Lorelai's table to fill up her coffee. "What was that all about?" Lorelai asked.
"Well you know, Rory just got her letters from the colleges that she applied to. She got into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton, she just invited me to dinner with her and grandparents and she just went upstairs to tell Jess."
Lorelai sat still, tears began rolling down her cheek. "She didn't even tell me," she choked out.
Luke sat down beside her in the booth, "What do you mean?"
"Rory and I haven't been on speaking terms since last week," Lorelai revealed.
"Why?" Luke asked.
"Because I caught her and Jess in bed together," Lorelai said.
"What?" Luke roared. "I'm going to kill that punk," he made to go upstairs.
Lorelai stopped him. "Don't, it was Rory's idea, she proceeded to tell me, after I'd run Jess out of her room."
"What happened?" Luke asked.
"I came home and I thought I heard something, so I went to Rory's room to ask her if she heard something, then I realized the noise was coming from her room. I opened the door, and I saw them. Rory just looked at me, and she began to explain, but I just screamed at Jess to get out. He got dressed, said he was sorry and left. After he left, I proceeded to yell at Rory for repeating my mistakes, and told her that I couldn't believe she would make the same mistakes that I had made. She got really silent, and then she told me that she had initiated the lovemaking. She told me, that she would never talk to me again, after what I'd just said to her." Lorelai cried aloud.
"Shhh, it's okay," Luke comforted her. "You will come to dinner tonight, and you and Rory will sort this out."

"I love you," Rory said to Jess as she watched him turn around.
"I love you too," Jess looked her in the eye, and hugged her close.
"Guess what?" Rory said.
"What?"
"I got into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford," she said.
"That's quite a mouthful, congratulations," Jess said.
"Thank you, I was wondering if you wanted to come to dinner with me tonight with my grandparents and Luke and my mother?" Rory said the last part with anger.
"I'd love to," Jess said. He didn't say anything about her mother, he'd tried to get Rory to talk to her mother. But Rory refused, she vowed never to talk to her mother again. Jess thought after some cooling-off time, Rory would talk to her mother again.
"Want to go for a ride on my bike?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, I need to get out of here for awhile, let's go," Rory took Jess's hand and walked downstairs. She saw Luke hugging her mom. She felt a twinge of guilt, then remembered what her mother had said, and pushed the guilt away.
Jess got on his bike and gunned the engine. Rory looped her arms around his middle and held on. "Let's go lover," she whispered in his ear. She licked his neck gently, and giggled softly as Jess pumped the throttle and roared off down the road.
Rory threw her head back and screamed with the pure joy of the freedom of the moment.

Lorelai clutched her stomach, she'd been feeling a little wonky lately. Wasn't she supposed to get her period this weekend, or was it last weekend? She couldn't remember when she'd had her last period. She decided to go see the doctor.
"Congratulations, you're pregnant," the doctor said.
Lorelai almost fainted. "I'm pregnant, how can I be pregnant, I'm 34, this just doesn't happen again."
"Are you okay?" the doctor asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little surprised, that's all," she thanked the doctor and left.
**
"Luke I have something to tell you, you better sit down," Lorelai was wringing her hands nervously.
"What's wrong," Luke looked at her.
"I'm pregnant," she revealed.
"You're pregnant, oh my, when did this happen?" he asked quietly.
"About six weeks ago, so we're going to have a baby in about seven and a half months. My due date is September 8."
"We're going to have a baby, I'm going to be a daddy, I'm so happy," a tear trailed down Luke's cheek. He hugged Lorelai and caressed her stomach gently. "I love you," he said to Lorelai and kissed her belly gently.
