Chapter one: Returning Home

Rory Gilmore had just graduated from Yale and was now standing in front of the home she had grown up in. Sighing she took a deep breath before walking up to the door and knocking like a stranger. Her mother opened the door, in an almost surprised way. They hadn't talked since Rory had been a sophomore at Yale. Lorelai said in a quiet voice "hello Rory." "Hey mom" Rory said with a small smile. They hadn't talked this much since Rory had accused Lorelai of firstly cheating on Luke, and then the whole fiasco with her father coming back into their lives. Rory had simply refused to speak to either one of them. The only reason Rory had returned to Stars Hollow for her mother's wedding to Luke was upon Luke's request. The ceremony was to take place in a week. "How are you Mom?" Rory asked in a small quiet voice, not unlike her mothers. "I've been good, a little nervous but good. We have company, but would you like to come in?" Lorelai asked her opening the door a little wider. Lorelai looked good, her hair was still long and today she had it in a loose twist at the nape of her neck and she wore jeans and an old tee shirt she and Rory had gotten at a concert. Rory looked around and said "I can go to Grandma and Grandpa's for a little while." Luke hearing her arrival came up behind her mother and said "Nonsense this is where you are staying so come in, besides I think there is someone here who will want to see you." Lorelai gave Luke the we-will-be-talking-about-this-later look. Rory said "NO! I mean no thank you I thought I would be staying at Grandma's its what I had planned." Luke shook his determinedly and ignored Lorelai's look and said, "You are family this is where you will be staying." Taking her bag from her hand he walked back in side followed by and oddly silent Lorelai. Rory sighed and followed. As she entered the living room she let out a gasp and nearly dropped her bag. "Hello Rory Gilmore"
