A/N: I'm really sorry I took so long to update! It's just I've been very busy over the past weeks. But I already wrote two more chapters so, enjoy!


Chapter 2: To tell or not to tell

She finally arrived home. She stood in front of the door for several minutes thinking on how to tell Lorelai. She would be so disappointed!

Suddenly, her mother opened the door and saw her.

"Hey! What are you doing out there?" She said with a bright smile "Standing in the cold and freezing to death?"

"I tried, but it didn't work" Rory answered "I'm coming in. Are you going out somewhere?"

"Not really, I just opened the door to catch some cold air and meet my daughter, who I was sure was standing in my front door." Lorelai answered, ironically. She made a face and then answered very sincerely:

"I was going to Luke's. I wanted to check out if you were there, or maybe with Jess somewhere. I couldn't page you and was starting to get worried. You usually don't take so long when getting some food. Unless... " She paused and checked Rory's bags "No, I thought you had eaten everything, but it's all here."

"Are you sure?" Rory grinned "The boxes are there, but that doesn't mean the food is actually inside them"

"You're right! I have to check that" Lorelai said while grabbing the bags from Rory's hands

"Could you do it inside?" Rory asked "I'm now officially freezing to death"

"Oh, all right honey" She answered, still checking the bags, as they entered the house.

She continued checking the boxes in the way to the kitchen. When they finally reached the table, she said: "You bad girl! Everything's here. If you had some time left, what stopped you from eating something? I just can't figure it out!" And she laughed and sit on the table.

Rory was at her side, taking of her coat, her scarf and her gloves. She laughed too and said: "Well, maybe I'm better than you ever expected me to be"

"That's for sure" Lorelai answered, her mouth full. "You want some?"

"No mom, thanks" Rory said with a tired voice "I'll just go to bed, I'm too tired to eat anything" And she entered her room.

"Are you sure you are you?" Loreali asked from the table, her mouth full

"Yes mom, I'm sure" She said from inside her room

"Ok, just checking" Lorelai answered.

Rory closed her door and lay on her bed. She hadn't told her mom. For the first time in her life, Rory Gilmore was keeping a secret from her mother for more than a week. And it didn't feel good.
