A/N: Hi guys! Sorry school and field hockey have me totally slammed!


Meeting Macey

Today was Saturday the 19th of December, the scheduled date of the arrival of Macey Elizabeth Pruden, as Red called it. She said it made it sound like some event that one of the Queen Elizabeths would've had. Girls! Anyway Red and Grandma have become quite the pair, watching movies, eating junk food, and all other things that were defined as part of being a Gilmore Girl. Red being an honorary Gilmore Girl, of course. This morning Red had stopped over at the ridiculous hour that was 6:30! I told her and I quote, " What in the f is wrong with you! I'm a seventeen year old guy, I don't get up before 9 during X-mas!" To which she didn't take well with all her pregnancy hormones. I was really starting to not like the sudden outburst of crying. It was something straight out of Sleepless in Seattle. Oh God, I referenced Sleepless in Seattle. Someone help me. Anyway, we were currently sitting on the front steps of the Inn, both of us bundled to the ultimate max due to the snow the night before, waiting for Macey.

"It's cold." I said just to start a conversation

" No shit, Sherlock." She smiled at me and pulled up her jeans.

" How are those fitting you?" I asked referring to the fact that she was wearing a pair of my jeans.

" They're ok, but I can't believe I'm growing this fast," I opened my mouth to say something about twins, but Red beat me to it. " And don't say what I think you're going to say."

" Well, don't you want to find out?"

" Yes, but I don't need you jinxing it because maybe it's not what you think it is."

"Okey-dokey"

" Where is she? She should be here by now?"

" Maybe she hit traffic."

" She left at 5 in the morning!"

" Wow she must really like you!" I smirked.

"Shut up!" she slapped me playfully.

" You know you love me!" I leaned in for a kiss on the cheek but she turned her head so that we were lip to lip. The kiss heightened quickly until our tongues and lungs couldn't take it anymore. We came back up for air and then continued onwards. The one thing that could stop us was the honk of a car. We both bounced up quickly to see a dark haired girl whose head was just over the roof of her car.

" Macey!" Red got up and ran immediately towards her. Once they had exchanged hugs Macey began to talk

" Well you know how you asked for a present…I was thinking about it long and hard…dirty…and I decided that your perfect gift is sitting in the back of my car." Red gives me a huh look, looks in the back seat, and starts to scream. Naturally, I run over to look what it was. It was a girl who looked identical to Macey except she had dirty blondish hair. Red is too busy jumping up and down to introduce me to anyone, so I helped myself.

" Holden Mariano." I held out my hand to Macey.

" Macey Pruden, and that in the back is my twin sister Andrea."

" Hi," I waved." Why don't we get them inside?" Red backed away so Andrea could get out. Macey went around to the trunk to carry the bags in.

" Oh, no. I've got those Macey." I said making my way around to help her.

" Are you sure?"

" Yup."

Macey directed her next words to Red, " Cici, you've really found yourself a keeper." The girls giggled and I blushed. We walked into the Inn and Grandma greeted.

" Hey Holden. Mike can get those for ya." And he did. " Hi. I'm Lorelai and welcome to the Dragonfly!" Both girls introduced themselves.

"Well you both are in room 11 and we hope you enjoy your stay." Grandma said handing the girls their keys.

" So do you guys want to explore the town a little?" Red asked. They both nodded enthusiastically.

" Hell yeah! I want to hear all about your little town!" Andrea said.

" Ok to Luke's we go!" Red stated. I checked my watch, which read 10:45 and figured the place would be in its mid-morning slump.

" Yeah that sounds about right. It shouldn't be too crowded." I commented.

" Ok to Grandfather's diner we go." Red said making her way out the door, as the rest of us followed.

" Grandfather?"

" Well, after living in his house Luke has become Grandpa because I feel weird calling him Luke."

" Ok." I rolled my eyes and Red punched me on the shoulder.

" Ouch Red that hurt."

" Red?" Macey asked.

" My hair," She said twirling the red tips of her hair.

" Yeah I was meaning to talk to you about that. Who let you dye your hair?"Andrea asked.

" Who let Macey dye her hair?" Red asked. " Not that I don't like it or anything."

" Not me! I was too busy playing Mommy to check up on my sister and tell her never to dye her hair brown." Playing Mommy?

" Did you just say playing Mommy? Is that some code cousin thing I'm not supposed to know about?" Red's eyes traveled away from Macey and Andrea, like there was something she didn't tell me.

" You didn't tell him?" Macey looked at Red angrily.

" It never came up!" Red tried to defend herself, although it wasn't working.

" IT NEVER CAME UP! You forgot to tell your boyfriend slash father of your baby about your nephew?" Andrea took over the argument.

" Nephew?"

" My son. Caleb Anthony Pruden, he's 3 now. God I feel so old. My son's 3!" Andrea replied.

"I'm sorry, did you say you had a son?"

" Yup, I was 15 when I had him."

" So where is the munchkin?" asked Red

" He's at Grandma's throwing a fit cause he can't see his Aunt CiCi"

" Awww, I feel so especially loved!" Red said in the weird way she liked to say ' I feel so especially loved'. It's hard to describe.

" Well you are to him." Andrea said.

" Wait wouldn't you be his 2nd cousin or something?" I asked. This whole thing was getting really weird.

" Yes, but we were all so close that Aunt CiCi seemed more fitting." Red said. I nodded and laughed too. " What's so funny?"

" Nothing. It's just how Mags is my aunt, but she doesn't even feel like my aunt. I was just on one of those weird thought trains."

" Okaley, dokaly." Macey and Andrea said at the same time, making it seem like they did this all the time. They had this odd twin wavelength thing about them. I hope that my, if we do have, twins could be like that. We reached the front door of the diner and Red stood with her back to the door.

" Are you two ready for one of the best experiences of your life?" she asked.

"CiCi, we're going into a diner." Andrea said.

" I repeat, are you two ready for one of the best experiences of your life?" They both nodded and Red pulled the door open.

Walking into the diner for maybe the billionth time, I still had that feeling of home, that I would always be welcome here. And I was and I knew that nothing would ever change in the diner, even if my life was becoming a huge catastrophe.

" Welcome to Luke's." Maggie had greeted us at the door.

" Hi, Maggie. These are my cousins, Macey," who took a curtsey, " and Andrea." Who had a smile and a wave.

"Hi. Holden can we talk?"

" Absolutely. You three find a place to sit and start to order. I'll be upstairs if you need me." Not that they would I knew Red to be a strong confident woman, who could handle herself, in most occasions. Maggie and I went up to the apartment and sat down at the little table.

" What happened between you and Brad?" she asked.

" Umm do you want the truth or a cleverly crafted lie?" I asked sarcastically.

" Well first I want the truth. Then, I want the lie. Something believable yet creative."

" He was basically like, 'You're an idiot for getting her pregnant and I thought you were better than that. And uhh…oh right, how did I forget? He said that I was stupid for not using a condom to which I explained, it ripped.'"

" Ohhh. Are you guys ok?"

" Uhh I guess, I mean we did the whole, 'I'm sorry' thing, but that was it."

" Ok, so do you like Red's cousins?"

" They're ok, but they have this creepy twin thing going on?"

" What?"

" It's weird. It's like they know what each other's thinking."

"Ok then let's go back down there and figure out what they're all about." And that's exactly what we did. We talked a lot about what Red was like when she was little and how Andrea got pregnant. She claims it wasn't awful for her, but the dad hurt her, emotionally. She also said that she saved her son from being part of a crappy legacy as he was almost namedAnthony Raymond Redford III, after his fahter. We also talked about movies and music and Red's upcoming doctor's appointment tomorrow that everyone minus Dad and Grandpa, who claimed to be working, would attend. They say work, but everyone knows it the fear of hospitals that prevents them from going. I promised Mag that I'd talk everything out with Brad, which I fully intend to do before the night is up, but for now I'm going to enjoy hanging out with the Pruden and Danes women for as long as possible.


A/N: I hoped that wrapped this up nicely. I know that this was a really big filler and I promise next chapter you guys will find out about Red's pregnancy and a little more of Andrea's. I don't really like fillers, but I figured since I left you with 2 big cliffhangers a filler was in need. REVIEW!
