Friday Night Dinner
"Rory are you ok with this" Lorelai asked before everyone came tonight.
"Perfectly, I'm a little nervous but I can't wait to see my kids" Rory's eyes lit up as she mentioned her children.
"Good you know I'm here for you through out tonight" Lorelai assured her.
"Thanks mum" Rory hugged her mother.
"No problem, that's what I'm here for"
"So how did your appointment go today?" Lorelai asked.
"Good it was just what I needed, I've also been given a prescription from anti-depressants but I'm not sure if I'm going to take them though"
"Rory I know you want to be independent but think it would be best if you took them, you wouldn't be prescribed them if they didn't think it was a good idea"
"I suppose, I just don't want to become dependant on them"
"You wont, you don't have to take them as prescribed but you have to promise me that when you're feeling upset, overwhelmed or depressed you will take them because that's what they are there for"
"Ok mum I will promise you that "
"Thankyou, now about we get ready before everyone gets here"
"Sounds good"
Later that night
"Lorelai, Rory hurry up there going to be here soon"
"Luke, were coming but to look as good as we do it takes time not 5 minutes" Lorelai shouted back.
"Right so why is Mel down here all ready"
"Because she has natural beauty, don't you" Lorelai said coming down.
"Thanks I think"
"Lorelai, Luke were here," Tristan said walking in with Ami in his arms.
"Hey Tristan, Hey pumpkin" Luke said.
"Grandpa" Ami said struggling out of Tristan grasp.
"Where are the girls?" Lorelai asked.
"Give them a few minutes" Tristan said.
"Everything alright?" Lorelai asked concerned.
"Yeah, Annie just needed sometime to take all this in she is a little overwhelmed with it all" Tristan said.
"Oh ok, fair enough"
"Rory" Tristan said as Rory came into the room.
"Hi Tristan"
"Were are the twins"
"There outside, give them a couple of minutes"
"Ah, alright"
"So who is for drinks?" Lorelai offered.
"That would be great"
"Grandpa"
"Yeah sweetie" Luke said to Ami who was in his arms.
"Can I go play?"
"Sure, but be careful alright"
"I will, daddy I'm going to go play" Ami said happily.
"Ok, sweets have fun" Tristan said as Ami ran off to her playroom.
"Nan, can we speak to you for a second" Andie said appearing.
"Sure, if you'll excuse me"
"What's the matter?"
"Ah, do you have anything like a tampon or anything" Annie asked.
"Sure come on, here put this around your waist and then well find you a spare pair of Mel's pants ok" Lorelai assured Annie.
"Thanks Nan" Annie said.
"No problem"
"Everything all right" Tristan shouted out as Lorelai, Andie and Annie headed up the stairs.
"Yeah, Annie just fell in the snow so she is going to go change"
"Ok"
While Lorelai was helping Annie Luke, Rory, Mel and Tristan were in the family room where an awkward silence was happening making everyone involved a little uncomfortable.
"Ah, why is this so awkward, were adults we should be able find something to talk about" Tristan finally said.
"I know what you mean," Rory said.
"Ah, so Mel, you go to school with Harley and Jules right" Rory said trying to get a conversation going.
"Yes, Jules and I are actually best friends actually"
"Oh cool"
"Ok snow crises everted, were dry and cleaned" Lorelai announced coming down the stairs finally ending the silence.
"Good" Tristan said.
Luke took this opportunity to go check on dinner.
"Dinners ready" Luke announced.
"Good, let's eat" Lorelai said as they all made their way to the kitchen.
"Ami, pumpkin come eat foods ready" Tristan called out.
"YAY FOOD" Ami said running in.
They all laughed as she was so excited and went and sat on her fathers lap as he started to dish up her food.
"I want pumpkin, mashie and chicken" Ami said excitedly pointing to what she wanted as she said it.
"Ok, how many pieces of chicken" Tristan asked.
"Two" Ami said holding up two fingers.
"Two pieces wow, you must be extra hungry" Luke said dramatically and with a smile.
"Yeah grandpa I'm extra hungry" Ami said in an exaggerated tone.
"Ok miss drama queen, here you go its all cut up and ready to eat, here is your special fork now eat away" Tristan said as he gave Ami her fork that had her name on it she sat on her fathers lap eating her food.
"YUMMY" Ami said digging in to her food.
"Ami, small mouthfuls ok and don't eat so fast you'll make yourself sick" Tristan said sternly.
"Ok, daddy" Ami said obeying her father.
"Good girl" Tristan said kissing her forehead.
Rory looked on and was amazed as how good Tristan was with Ami it brought a smile to her face.
"So Andie, how are you enjoying stars hollow high" Luke asked
"It's good it's different from Hartford, but I feel more open and myself there although it's strange not seeing Annie at school"
"Yeah I'm still getting use to it" Annie said.
"But I bet you also like it a lot more because of a certain boy" Lorelai said with a smile.
"Obviously, considering we barely got to see each other before it's nice to see each other everyday I really like it" Andie said smiling.
"I'm happy you're happy" Lorelai said.
"I'm happy" Andie said with a smile a genuine smile which hadn't happened in a while.
"Mel, what colleges have you applied to" Rory asked.
"Um, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, UCLA, NYU"
"Ok, so they are relatively close by except for UCLA, why did u apply there anyway?"
"Good Film program there" Mel answered.
"Wow, you want to work behind the camera"
"Yes I would like to but it would be only a secondary choice"
"Oh what would you like to do then?"
"Script writing, that's my passion"
"Oh cool, so you like to write"
"Very much"
"That's good, must run in the family"
"FINISHED" Ami squealed.
"Good girl, let me look at you" Tristan said as Ami turned around.
"Oh goodness, look at that face, there's pumpkin and potato everywhere come here you goose" Tristan said laughing a little while getting a napkin and wiping her face Ami tried to wiggle free but with no luck.
"Ah there you go"
"YAY, can I go play please daddy I've finished my food" Ami looked at him.
"Ok, but you have to wash your hands first and come show me then we'll decide if you can go play ok" Tristan said
"Ok, be right back" Ami said running away.
Five minutes later Ami came down with her T-shirt completely drenched.
"Ami, I said clean your hands" Tristan said looking at a wet Ami.
"I did daddy see" Ami said showing him her hands.
"Wow there clean, but your all wet lets go get you changed and dry you off before you catch a cold" Tristan said standing up and then picking her up.
"But daddy I look prettiful"
"I know you do babe, but we will make you extra beautiful ok" Tristan said.
"Ok"
"If you'll excuse me, I'll be right back" Tristan said.
"Its fine, Ami when your done I'll do you hair nicely ok" Lorelai said knowing Ami would behave for Tristan upstairs know.
"Really, YAY" Ami said happily.
"Thanks, be right back"
"So Andie when do you get the stitches out" Lorelai asked.
"Um, in a week, I can't wait to have full mobility of my arm"
"Ah yes and then you can continue have full work at the diner"
"Grandpa" Andie whined.
"Hey, the school still needs to be repaid not my problem" Luke said.
"Fine"
"What is this about school being repaid, what happened?" Rory asked.
"Um, nothing" Andie said softly not looking at Rory.
"Andie broke some windows and vandalised Hartford High as a going away present" Lorelai said.
"You serious" Rory was shocked.
"It's not like you care anyway" Andie snapped back and stood up and walked out of the room and walked into Tristan.
"Hey, what's going on" Tristan said to Andie holding her arm.
"I'm going to the Bathroom, I'm busting" Andie lied she couldn't tell him the real reason she loved her father and he wanted them all to get along so that is what she would try to do. She also didn't have the heart to tell him really why.
"Ok, ok go then" Tristan said letting her arm go.
"Lor, Ami's waiting for you upstairs so you can do her hair" Tristan said.
"Ok, well I'm done anyway" Lorelai said standing up and putting her dish away and went to walk up the stairs.
"Talk later about Andie" Tristan whispered to Lorelai not believing Andie.
"Sure"
"Ami babe I'm coming up" Lorelai shouted.
"So everyone finished" Luke asked.
"Yep"
"Ok, then how about we all go to the lounge room"
"Andie and I are going upstairs to watch a movie is that alright"
"No, want to speak to you both" Tristan said.
"Fine"
Andie had come down and saw everyone was in the lounge room so she went and sat down next to Annie.
"Considering Ami is now here your mother and I want to talk to you both" Tristan said.
"I'll leave you guys to it; I'm going to see what Lorelai is up to, good luck" Luke said leaving the lounge room.
"Sorry about this Luke, thanks" Tristan said.
"No problem"
"Ok I know you both are not happy being here but this has to be done" Tristan said.
"No it doesn't, you abandoned us so were abandoning you now" Annie shouted out standing up.
"Annie, sit and calm down" Tristan said sternly.
"Why I have every right to be angry you want a reconciliation well I don't it's that simple she didn't want us in her life and I don't want her in my life" Annie shouted.
"Annie stop" Tristan said sternly.
"Fine whatever" Annie knew not to push her father further.
"Andie, how do you feel about all of this" Tristan asked.
"To tell you the truth, I'm angry how could you have done that especially to Ami fuck she was One years old for Christ sake" Andie said loudly.
"Andie Language" Tristan scolded.
"I realise my leaving wasn't a good idea and the fact I left Ami, but I couldn't stay in that house I'm sorry" Rory said.
"Were we that badly behaved that you had to leave" Andie said annoyed and braised herself for the answer.
"No of course not you were wonderful all I couldn't asked for…" Rory said but was cut off by Annie.
"Then why leave if we were "Angels?" Annie shouted.
"Because I had to I was dealing with so much stuff that I had to leave" Rory said looking at Tristan to see if she should tell the girls about her depression.
"What was so important and overwhelming that you had to leave us and not come back" Andie asked.
"Tristan I think I'm going to tell them they need to know" Rory said to Tristan.
"Ok Rory go ahead"
"The reason I left all those years ago was because I was suffering depression Post-Natal Depression. I didn't realise it at the time but I was so overwhelmed that I left but you have to know that I planned to come back. But when I found out that I had depression I couldn't I felt ashamed that I had let you guys down and I'm sorry if there was anything I could do to take back those Five years I would but I cant and I'm sorry" Rory said nearly in tears.
"What" They both said shocked.
"Girls, your mother is suffering depression she realises what she did was not the smartest thing, but when you have depression you don't think straight. What I think is the most important thing here is that your mother is back and accepting and realising what she did was not the best choice but at least she is willing to come back into our lives at our approval of course" Tristan explained calmly.
"Um, sorry I can't do this I have to go" Annie said running out of the house and heading to marks house.
"Andie" Tristan shouted
"DAMN" Tristan shouted
"I'm going after her" Andie said getting up.
"You are not, you will stay here" Tristan said sternly.
"No dad I'm going after her she is my twin she needs me right know I'm leaving" Andie said walking out before Tristan could say anything.
"DAMN" Tristan shouted.
"I'm sorry Tristan" Rory said.
"Don't worry about it, there in shock that's what they do when things get rough they run" Tristan said.
"Ok, don't you think you should go after them" Rory said.
"No, I know there safe and they both need to get this around there head and cool down, they'll come back when they're ready" Tristan said.
"Ok"
"I'm sorry I tried I really did but maybe your leaving has affected them more than I thought it had" Tristan said.
"Don't worry Tristan I understand" Rory said.
"This has got to be hard on you" Tristan asked.
"it is, but I decided with some help from Paris I needed to see someone and they prescribed Anti-Depressants so if I wasn't on them I would be a blabbering mess right know instead of just shaken up" Rory said.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I only went today"
"Well as long as you look after yourself"
"I am"
"Good, well I'm going to check on Ami I'll be back" Tristan said.
"Ok"
Tristan walked into Lorelai and Luke's room to see Luke and Lorelai watching a movie and a sleeping Ami curled up on Lorelai' lap.
"She sleeping"
"Yes"
"Good, we'll go soon then" Tristan said.
"How did it go?" Lorelai asked
"Bad, Rory told them and then Annie ran off followed by Andie"
"Are they alright" Luke asked.
"I'm not sure, there safe I know that much there probably at either Matt or Marks"
"Ok good"
"I'm going to take Ami and were going to head home, if either of the girls turn up or ring can you call me, I'll come by tomorrow after work"
"Sure Tristan, I'll ring them to tell them the Diner apartment is free for them to use" Luke offered.
"Thanks Luke" Tristan said.
"Don't worry about it"
"Tristan, how about you get Ami's things together and I'll put her in the car ok" Lorelai offered.
"Thanks Lorelai, I'd appreciate that" Tristan said getting Ami's bag to gather her clothes and toys.
"Ok" Lorelai said standing up and wrapping Ami in a blanket and picking her up and taking her to the car.
"Is Tristan leaving" Rory said seeing Lorelai with a bundled up Ami.
"Yeah, I'm just putting Ami in the car" Lorelai said.
"Ok, then" Rory said sadly.
"You want to help. You are her mother after all" Lorelai said smiling.
"Thanks mum" Rory said smiling walking outside with Lorelai. Lorelai noticed Rory's eyes they sparkled and seemed to be happy; they didn't look empty like they normally did.
