1It's my daughter's wedding day, and she's not even going to show up. Logan doesn't deserve that. But in a way this is my fault. If I had listened to her when she said she was having doubts, and she wasn't sure she wanted to marry him, we could have averted this over a month ago. But, like mother, like daughter.

She looked at her daughter's face at the mention of cakes. She remembered when Rory had finally told her about her and Dean's first meeting.

FLASHBACK

"Mom, remember when I got into Chilton?"

"Yes."

"And I almost didn't go because I met a guy?"

"Dean, right?"

"Yeah. I want to tell you how I met him."

"Finally"

"Are you going to go on about how I'm finally being a good daughter, or can I tell you."

"Tell me about the guy!"

"Well, he came up to me when I was putting all my stuff in boxes. I made a reference to Rosemary's Baby, and he got it. He said I had good taste in movies, and we talked a little bit. He said he needed to go look for a job. I told him to go ask Miss Patty, so he asked me to show him where Miss Patty's was. He carried my stuff, and we walked over to Miss Patty's. He told me he'd been watching me because he thought I was really pretty, and a vert intense reader."

"Is that all? Were there butterflies? Were you nervous?"

"I was a babbling idiot. I could barely tell him my name, and then I went into the whole story of how I got my name."

"Demerol and all?"

"Demerol and all. That's not even the worst of it!"

"There's more?"

"Yes, I started babbling about round cakes. Then he told me about watching me, and I babbled about round cakes again. All the same stuff about round cakes, too."

"The perfect guy. I wonder if I could get him to change the water bottle."

END FLASHBACK

"Are the cakes round?" She asks, watching her daughter very closely. Rory snaps back to reality, her cheeks flushing, looking extremely guilty, refusing to meet her eyes. She's been thinking about Dean, she can sense it. She can even prove it.

"Because if the cakes aren't round enough, we can always go get some Rocky Road cookies."

FLASHBACK

"What's this? You hate rocky road cookies."

"I do not."

"Oh, I'm sorry, that must be my other daughter, Schmory."

"We're leaving now."

"Wait, I know who likes rocky road cookies."

"Who?"

"Dean. They're for Dean."

"Wow, she's bringing baked goods to a boy. Wow, serious!"

"Hi, Dean, these cookies are for you 'cause you're keen"

"Stop!"

"Rory's in love."

"Love, love, love, Dean, Dean, Dean!"

"Cookies for the love and the Dean and the cookies for the love and the Dean and the cookies for the love and the..."

"Dean and the love and the Dean and the love and the Dean and the love...Okay we can stop, she's gone now."

"But it's fun."

"Well, you're on your own."

"The cookies for the Dean and the Rory and the cookies for the love with the Dean..."

END FLASHBACK

This time Rory's eyes snapped to hers, giving her the dirtiest look she could, while still looking guilty at the same time. She looked at her and knew that she wasn't going to show up at her wedding tomorrow. Logan doesn't deserve that, but there's nothing to be done. She can't confront her, and tell her that she knows something that even her daughter might not know for sure yet. Rory would probably try to go through with it, but she won't be able to. She might not know until it's time to say 'I do,' but she wont be able to say those words. In a way this is my fault. If I had listened to her when she said she was having doubts, and she wasn't sure she wanted to marry him, we could have averted this over a month ago. But, like mother, like daughter. We Gilmore girls don't know until it's too late for heartbreak.
