FOUR YEARS LATER
"Mommy! Mommy! We're gonna be late for my fist day!"
"Rory, its 6 in the morning school isn't for another 2 and a half hours."
"Come on wake up"
"Fine Rory I'm up. Why don't you go play while I take my shower?"
"Yay!!!!"
It made Lorelai happy that her little girl was so excited about school. She was happy that her girl was already a great reader and loved to learn.
Two hours later they arrived at the school building. Lorelai looked around at all the other kids whose parents seemed so much older. She felt like all of the other parents saw her as a young 22 year old baby sitter, rather than someone's mom. She also noticed all of the dads that were there too. She wondered if Rory noticed all of these things. Rory of course was in heaven. She was going to school to learn. She was really a big kid.
The parents and kids were ushered into the building and Lorelai was excited for Rory. She was of course really sad too because with the starting of kindergarten she would be without her best friend for half of the day. They entered the room and Lorelai felt Rory pulling her. She couldn't believe how excited Rory was. Lorelai felt a tug and looked down at her daughter.
"Mommy, that girl is crying."
To the little crying girl
"Hello there. Are you okay?"
"My mom won't stay with me. She said that it will make me too dependent."
"O well, what's your name?"
"I'm lane"
"Well Lane this is Rory. Why don't you two go play?"
"okay"
"Great"
Lorelai stayed with the other parents as the teacher told the class about what kindergarten would be like and how much they were going to learn. Lorelai looked over and Rory and Lane were sitting together and Rory was looking more and more exited by the minute.
Lorelai overheard another mother saying how excited this one little girl looked. Lorelai smiled. After school Rory and Lorelai walked around the town and talked about all of the stuff she had done that day. They went back to the shed that afternoon having had a really great day.
