"I'm looking for Ami Dugrey. Her father brought her in a little while ago," Rory said to the receptionist, a little out of breath.

"Are you a relative?"

"I'm her mother."

"Of course. She's in the paediatrics ward. Third floor."

"Thank you," Rory said running off. She saw Tristan coming out of Ami's room and went towards him.

"Tristan, what's happening? Is she alright?"

"She's fine. It's appendicitis. They're going to operate on her soon," Tristan said.

"Oh god," Rory said covering her mouth with her hand in worry.

"Rory, she is going to be fine. It's routine," Tristan said, trying to calm Rory down.

"Tristan, can I see her?" Rory asked, hoping Tristan would say yes.

"Sure. Follow me," Tristan was more than happy to let Rory see Ami. He explained to Rory as they entered Ami's room.

"They have given her a sedative, to make her more comfortable.

"Ok."

"Daddy," Ami said, smiling. She was happy to see her father back in her room.

"Hey, baby. How you are feeling?"

"Ok," Ami said noticing Rory and pointing to her.

"Who are you?"

"Hi Ami. Do you remember me?" Rory asked.

"Your Nana's friend."

"Yeah, I am," Rory said, a little sad.

"Actually baby, this is your mummy," Tristan said. He had noticed Rory's face when Ami didn't remember her and thought this would be a good time to tell Ami that Rory was her mother.

"You're my mummy," Ami said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah. I am," Rory said happily. She was glad that Ami finally knew who she was.

"I have a mummy," Ami said, her eyes twinkling with happiness.

"Yeah, babe. You have a mummy," Rory replied with a smile.

"Mummy," Ami said happily getting up and hugging Rory as tight as she could.

"Oh baby. I love you so much," Rory said gladly accepting the hug her daughter was giving her.

"I wuv you to Mummy," Ami said giving her mum a kiss on the lips. Ami looked up at Tristan, her arms still around Rory.

"Daddy, I have a mummy."

"I know, baby," Tristan said with a smile. He was happy to see both mother and daughter interact like this finally.

"Listen, Ami, some of the doctors are going to take you away in a little while. They're going to get rid of the yucky feeling in your tummy, ok? And to do that they have to put you to sleep," Tristan explained to Ami as she sat on Rory's lap with Rory's arms wrapped around her little waist.

"Can you come with?" Ami asked.

"No, we can't. But we will be here waiting for you when you come back," Tristan said trying to calm Ami down. He knew she would perform knowing that neither Tristan nor Rory could go with her.

"But I want you to come with me," Ami said with tears starting to pour from her eyes as she heldon to Rory.

"I know, babe. But we can't do that."

Ami started to cry and held on to Rory for dear life. Tristan and Rory could see the fear in her eyes.

"Ami, honey, listen to me, ok? If you behave and act like a big girl, after this is all done we'll get ice cream and do fun stuff, alright?" Tristan said, trying to comfort her and make her feel a little better about being alone.

"You pwomise?" Ami asked looking up at Tristan.

"I promise," Tristan said, wiping her tears away.

"Ok. I'll be good," Ami said as she stopped crying.

"Good girl," Tristan said giving her a kiss on the cheek trying to make her feel better.

"Hi Ami. My Name is Doctor Andrews and I'm here to get rid of the owie in your tummy," Dr Andrews said as he entered the Room.

"I'll be good," Ami said, trying to act like a big girl for her parents.

"Thank you. Ok, now what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you an injection that will make you sleepy, alright?" Dr Andrews said, getting the needle ready to administer the anaesthesia.

"Ok," Ami said. She was trying to be brave but Tristan and Rory could tell she was really scared at the sight of the needle.

"Good girl. Ok, look at your mummy and daddy for me," Dr Andrews, said pointing to Rory and Tristan knowing that she wouldn't want to see the needle being injected.

"Alright."

"There we go," Dr Andrews said as he inserted the needle.

"Ow," Ami said, as tears welled up in her eyes as the needle inserted her skin.

"Oh, honey. It's alright," Rory said comforting her as she started to cry.

"Sorry, Ami," Dr Andrews apologised trying to make the little girl feel better.

"The Anaesthesia should start to work soon and then she will be brought down to the OR."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Bye, Ami. See you soon."

"Bye," Ami said quietly, still crying and hanging on to Rory. She curled up in her mother's lap.

"Mummy, I'm sleepy."

"Lie down on my lap and go to sleep, alright?" Rory said kissing her head and running her fingers through her hair.

"Night Mummy. Night Daddy," Ami said sleepily.

"Night baby girl," Tristan said giving her a kiss.

"Tristan, thank you for this. It means so much to me," Rory said, looking at a sleeping Ami in her lap and smiling.

"You are her mother. You should be here," Tristan said smiling at how Rory had taken to comforting Ami.

"How long will she be in surgery?"

"About 2 hours."

"Ok," Rory said, a little worried.

"Don't worry, Ror," Tristan tried to make her feel better, noticing her worry.

"I know. I can't help it," Rory said looking at Ami and back at Tristan.

"I see she is asleep. We'll take her down to the OR now and she'll be brought back here to recover when she is done," Dr Andrews said, walking in to the room with two orderlies and a gurney.

"Thank you," Tristan said.

"Bye Ami. Love you," Rory said giving her a kiss and laying her on the gurney.

"Love you, Ami," Tristan said also giving Ami a kiss.

"I'm going to tell the girls what's happening, ok. You want to come?" Tristan asked as Ami was wheeled away.

"Ok," Rory replied a little uneasily.

"Dad, what's happening?" Annie yelled, running up to him.

"You sister is going to the OR now."

"To get her appendix removed," Rory added.

"She has appendicitis?" Annie asked.

"Yes," Tristan answered.

"She's going to be alright though?" Annie asked.

"She is going to be fine," Tristan assured.

"Good," Annie said, feeling relieved.

"Girls, we told Ami that Rory was her mother," Tristan said.

"You did?" Annie asked.

"Yeah. She reacted a lot better than you girls did," Tristan said looking at both Annie and Andie.

"Ah yeah," they both said uneasily. They turned to Rory and apologized.

"We're sorry about the other night."

"No problems. I totally understand," Rory said smiling at both girls.

"Thanks," both girls replied, smiling a little.

"So, when will she be out of surgery?" Andie asked.

"About 2 hours," Tristan replied.

"Ok."

"I'm going to get coffee. You girls want any?" Rory asked

"Yes, please," They replied.

"Tristan?"

"Thanks."

"Ok, I'll be right back."

"I'll come with you," Annie said. Tristan and Andie looked at each other shocked.

"Thank you," Rory smiled at Annie. Rory turned to Annie as they made their way to get coffee.

"Um, are you girls addicted to coffee like me and your Nan?"

"Yeah. Grandpa doesn't like it"

"Yeah, Luke never did."

"Rory, I'm glad you came back," Annie said.

"I'm glad you are allowing me to come back. I'm sorry that I left so suddenly and left it so long before coming back" Rory said apologetically.

"We understand. I don't know if Dads told you this, but Andie and I have both had bouts of depression with me losing my baby and Andie battling Anorexia."

"Your father told me about that, but only briefly."

"Yeah. It's been tough without you but were glad your back. Even if we don't exactly show it."

"Thank you. I'm glad I'm back."

"The best coffee is in the Doctors Canteen," Annie said.

"Yeah and how do you suppose we get to the doctors coffee?" Rory asked, a little confused.

"Dad's a doctor here remember and they all know us. It should be no problem. They know about our addiction," Annie replied smiling.

"Well, let's go," Rory said.

"Yes. Let's," Annie said, directing her to the canteen.

"Annie, why a sudden a change of heart towards me?" Rory asked suddenly.

"To tell you the truth, I was glad you were back the moment Dad told me. I just wanted to make sure you were staying and when Dad told Ami about you, I knew he knew that you were staying and that he trusts you. I trust Dads judgement and I thought with Ami being sick this would be a good time as any to forgive you," Annie said.

"Thank you. This means so much to me. And I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I promise," Rory said.

"Hi, Dr. Mitchell. How are you?" Annie said to the approaching doctor.

"Hello, Annie. I'm fine and yourself?"

"I'm good."

"So, what are you doing here? I didn't think your dad was working this afternoon."

"No he's not but Ami is having an appendectomy."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I hope Ami makes a speedy recovery."

"Thank you. Oh, Dr Mitchell. This is my mother. Rory Dugrey," Annie said introducing Dr Mitchell to Rory.

"Nice to meet you," he said as he put his hand out for her to shake.

"It's nice to meet you too," Rory accepted the handshake.

"Well I have to be off. I'll see you later."

"Bye."

"Was that one of your dad's friends?" Rory asked.

"Yeah. He was also my doctor when I miscarried," Annie said a little sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Rory said, noticing the sadness in Annie as she mentioned the miscarriage.

"It's fine. I'm alright now but it takes time."

"It sure does."

"It's just hard to think that I would have a little baby now. Its hard to fathom right know," Annie replied with a faraway look in her eyes.

"Yeah, me a grandmother. I don't think so. And I don't think my mother would like the title of great-grandmother. She had enough trouble with the whole grandmother thing," Rory said with a smile trying to cheer up Annie.

"Yeah, sounds like Nan," Annie said with a little laugh before all of sudden, she teared up.

"Annie, what's wrong?" Rory asked, seeing the tears in her daughter's eyes.

"I wanted that baby so bad," Annie said, starting to cry.

"Oh, honey. It's alright," Rory said, enveloping Annie into a hug with great ease.

"I remember everything about those few months when I was carrying my baby. From when I found out to when it kicked for the first time to when I lost it," Annie said, crying.

"Oh, honey. It's alright," Rory said, comforting her little girl.

"Annie, did your father ever tell you that I miscarried as well?"

"No," Annie said, looking at Rory shocked.

"Yeah, I was pregnant about two years before I was pregnant with you. I was 5 months pregnant and we were so happy and ready to start our family. I was at home waiting for your dad to get home from his internship and I spilt something on the kitchen floor and I went to wipe it up and slipped and landed hard on my stomach."

"Oh, god," Annie said shocked.

"I was shattered but after a couple of months, we both realised that it wasn't the end of the world and that we could always have more children so we waited until the right time and then we were blessed with two beautiful babies. We were so happy to have you two. We knew it was a sign that you were both going to alright," Rory said with a smile.

"Wow. How come dad never told us?"

"Your father blamed himself. For months he thought it was his fault. He took it harder than I did."

"Wow."

"So, Annie how are handling being separated from Andie?" Rory asked, thinking it was best to change the subject.

"It was tough at first cause we have never been separated but its gotten better. I saw how happy Andie was at Stars Hollow I realised that the separation was for the best."

"I'm glad. It must be hard not having each around."

"I miss her at times but I know it's for the best."

"So, coffee?" Rory said, walking into the Canteen.

"Yeah. This way," Annie said smiling. Sheturned to someone when she saw there was no coffee.

"Joe, where's the coffee?"

"Ah, Annie. I'll just get it for you."

"Thanks, Joe."

"They certainly know you around here."

"Yep, it comes in handy."

"It certainly does."

"Here you go," Joe said, handing Annie a coffee pot.

"Thanks, Joe," Annie said, filling four cups.

"Anytime."

"Mum," Annie said for the first time in a long time.

"Yes?" Rory replied, smiling. It was the first time she had heard Annie or Andie say Mum in a long time.

"Where did you go for the 5 years you weren't here?" Annie asked handing Rory two cups of coffee.

"I was in New York working for the Times and I also went to LA," Rory answered. Following Annie out of the Canteen.

"Why did you go to LA?"

"I went there to see a doctor who specialises in Depression."

"Oh, ok. Did you ever think about us?"

"All the time. I was just so ashamed of myself that I couldn't come back. There wasn't one day I didn't think of you. Here, have a look," Rory said taking off her necklace and giving it to Annie.

"What is it?" Annie asked, a little confused.

"Open it."

"Oh, wow."

"Yeah. These pictures were taken the day I had you guys and the day I had Ami. I wore it everywhere. It was like you were still with me, still close to my heart."

"Oh, wow," Annie said, tearing up a little.

"I just want you both to know I love you and I missed you so much," Rory said, wiping Annie's tears away and giving her a hug.

"We missed you too," Annie said. She hugged her mother.

"Mum, I love you."

"I love you too," Rory said, hugging her. She was happy to be back and have her girls with her.

"How about we get these coffees to your father and sister?" Rory said.

"Yeah, they're probably wondering what's taking so long. Probably think I've killed you," Annie said laughing.

"Probably," Rory said laughing.

"Ah. There you guys are," Tristan said as they came in to view.

"Yeah, sorry. Joe was a bit slack on the coffee."

"Using the Doctors coffee, Annie?"

"What? You're a doctor and you're having some. Why can't we?"

"Fine."

"So, heard anything?" Rory asked.

"Nope."

"Ok."

"I have to go to the bathroom. Annie, come with," Andie said, dragging Annie away with her.

"Ah, ok."

"So, explain what that was about," Andie demandedwhen they were out of ear shot.

"I just wanted to see what Mum had to say and find out where she's been."

"Mum."

"Yeah. Andie, she is just like us. She has suffered so much and I just thought I would forgive her. Andie, she never forgot about us. She has a necklace that she always wears that has pictures of us in it. She is sorry and she isn't going to leave, Andie. I've forgiven her you should do the same."

"Why should I?"

"Because, Dad trusts her, I trust and Ami trusts her. You just need to do the same."

"I don't think I can."

"If I can do it, you can do it."

"I'll think about it."

"Fine."

"Come on. Let's go back."

"Ok."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter finally we have a bit of a resolution. Please review and tell me what you think and if you have any ideas.

Thanks Loz.
