DISCLAIMER : I don't own anything. Oh! If I was a powerful god, then Lorelai would be mine...but alas...what a sad reality... :(

Sorry people. You have to wait a little more to see the flashback. I'm still working on it. I don't wanna ruin it. Cuz there's a lot of authors here how just the "pregnant" or "drugs" storyline and ruin it.

And I know the story is sad. But don't worry, Lorelai/Rory fighting forever is against my nature.

CHAPTER 3 "What was I thinking"

Rory opened her eyes. This time, it was her turn to wake up at 5 in the morning. Turning over, she knocked on something hard beside her. A warm body moved a little bit next to her. It wa her sister Gigi. What is she doing there? Rory really wasn't used to small kids to sleep next to her. She was the little girl sleeping next to her mommy.

"Mom! No! Not so early in the morning" she whispered quietly.

Suddenly, her mind driffed to Jess. Where was Jess? The last time she saw was a couple of months ago when he had showed at Yale.

Should have gone with him then? He had looked so sincere. He told her he loved her. He told her she was ready. She was ready to go with him anywhere she wanted. But no. She had had to not listen to him. She never listened to no one. Just like her grandma. Oh! No! Not her grandma. She wouldn't end like her grandma. She was Rory. Everybody liked her. She was sweet, cared about everybody. But what if...

She suddenly jerked off the bed, trying to reassure herself that she was a very lovable person. Gigi awoke to that. Blinking her eyes, she looked around her.

Rory looked at her, no sure of what to do. She wasn't use to treat with kids. If she had a "How to take care of little creaturs" book, things would be much easier.

But somehow, Gigi made it really easy for her. She just stood up, yelled "Rory" before landing in her arms. Rory just laughed and pulled back after a moment.

"Hey Gigi"

"Rory" the little girl sighed happily.

"What are you doing here?" asked the big sister

"I was scared. I had a bad dream. Mommy wouldn't let me sleep with her."

"...doesn't suprise me..." mumbled Rory

"What?"

"Nothing."

Gigi looked at her through solemn bleu eyes. She did not believe Rory a bit, but decided to keep quiet.

"Rory?"

"What ?"

"Are you living with us for a really long time?"

"Yeah" replied, Rory, smiling a little. It was good to feel that at least, her sister was happy she was there.

"Really a long time?"

"I think so..."

Gigi just grinned.

"I love you Rory" she said before falling back on her bed and drifting of to sleep.

Wow, Rory didn't know what to say. So she just murmured a little "I love you too" softly before sleeping too.

"I think that she's going to be here for a while." said Christopher eagerly.

"Who do you know?" answered Sherry in her tiny squealing voice

"Her and Lorelai didn't seem...really in good terms."

"Really?" Sherry grinned. There was nothing to hide. She had never liked Lorelai. Lorelai was the perfect woman, independant, dangerous and sexy. And what more, she had the perfect daughter. Sherry always resented her, but never actually could anything about it since Lorelai had been so nice to her. Lorelai was the only one present when Sherry was giving birth 5 years ago, that is before Chris showed up. That's why Sherry even hated Lorelai even more. The fact that she was nice. She was so nice that she couldn't invent some tactic to blew her off. Chris would be mad at her, saying that Sherry was making problems between him and his daughter.

Chris. Chris. That was a hole other story for Sherry. She knew that Chris still loved Lorelai and it hurt her so bad. It hurted her so bad. She couldn't do anything about it. That's why, without noticing, she had becomed another version of Lorelai. Except for her horrible taste in clothes and decorations.

"So, probably Rory could live here for the rest of her second year at Harvard."

"Harvard? Isn't she going to Yale?"

"She was. But apparently, she wants to transfer."

"Oh. ok." Sherry didn't really care wheter Rory wanted to transfer or not. It didn't made much difference to her. The only thing she couldn't stop thinking about is the fact that Rory was going to be here a lot. So, it would be a perfect oppurtunity to get to know her. And maybe make her forget Lorelai. "Perfect" said Sherry.

"Perfect?" asked Chris curiously.

"Oh! I mean it's nice that Rory is staying here. You get to catch up all the time she wasn't there."

Chris only smiled and took his briefcase, kissed Sherry on the lips and went to work.

Couple of hours later, Rory woke up, realised it was almost eleven o'clock. Gigi was gone. Grumpily, Rory got out of her room, only to find Sherry in the living room, smiling at her.

"Good morning, Rory"

"Hey Sherry" Rory had no joy in her voice.

"You want some breakfast?"

Sure. Why not? Rory was starving. No, not starving. More like dying of hungryness.

Sherry led her to the kitchen, where Rory's eyes widened at everything there was to eat. Smiling to the prospest of having a nice meal, she sat down and served herself.

"It looks so good!" exclaimed Rory

She took a huge bite of the eggs. OH MY GOD! it was the most disgusting thing she ever ate in her life. Regretting her decision of taking such a big bite, she swallowed, drank orange juice to make the taste go.

"Where's Gigi?" she said afterwards, smiling. She made a mental note to go out and find a nice dinner where she could hopefully find something edible, later. If Sherry kept cooking, Rory would surely die.

"She's at the daycare, playing with her little friends?"

"Little friends?" Rory choked a laugh then frowned. "It's summer. Why is she at the daycare?"

"Well, because I taught you and me could have a nice day together, you know, shopping, doing girly things."

Rory sighed heavily. Oh great! So she would have no time for herself today. That's for sure.

"Oh great..." she mumbled, plasting a fake smile to her face.

This was going to be so interesting. Living here with her dad when he wasn't there almost all the day.

What was I thinking? Rory whispered to herself. But no. No. I did the good thing. I couldn't stand being with mom. I did the good thing. Sherry is nice. Gigi is cute. Dad is never there...but...he's trying...at least.

No matter what, Rory would never ever ever admit that maybe, maybe a little bit of her was regretting what she had done. Even so, admitting it was out of the question.
