Chapter 5- Old Enough

Rory ran around the her room, getting ready for her first day of school. Lorelai was gonna watch, the now three month old, Lora while she was at school. Rory made sure everything Lora needed was ready before she left for school. Rory was ancy the rest of the day about being away from Lora. She eventually fell into the rhythm of it. Lora was about 5 months old now and she was able to sit up and was starting to rock back and forth like she was gonna crawl. They recorded everything that she did. Rory was sitting in the nursery with Lora playing with her when Lorelai came in and sat down.

"Mom?"

"Yeah babe?"

"Are you happy here?"

"Why? Are you?" They shared a look.

"Me either."

"Oh thank god. I thought I was alone in this." Lorelai said.

"I mean its a great place and Grandma and Grandpa are wonderful but I miss home and I want to raise my daughter at home."

"I know. So what are we gonna do?"

"Tell them." Rory offered.

"Yeah." That night they sat Emily and Richard down and explained to them how much they appreciated all that they had done for them and how they wanted to go back home. They were hurt but, surprisingly, not that angry.

Rory and Lorelai packed their things and drove home the following morning. Rory carried Lora inside she went into her room, looking at her large walk in closet, she imagined a smaller version of the nursery at her Grandmother's house. Lorelai and Luke went back with Luke's truck to get Lora's crib and changing station and other big things.

Rory walked through town pushing the stroller that Lora was bundled up inside. She walked into Luke's diner, and took a seat at the nearest table, pulling the stroller out of the way. Jess came up to her and asked, not looking at her, "What do you want?"

"Well there goes your gold star for kindness." She said.

He recognized her voice and looked up. "You're not pregnant anymore."

"Nope. The pregnant part of me is in here," She pulled back the cover so Jess could see Lora sleeping in the stroller.

"She's gorgeous."

"Yeah."

"Who's daddy?"

"Uh. His name was Tristen, he's gone. He was an ass, so I figure probably for the best." Rory was surprised she opened up like that.

"Yeah." Lora woke up and stared at Jess. He smiled at the baby who smiled in response. Rory picked her up and held her on leg so Lora's back was against her body. "She's got your eyes." He told her.

"Yeah. Every Gilmore girl has the trade mark blue eyes."

"Ah.. I see.. Well can I get you anything?"

"Uh cheeseburger, fries, and coffee."

"Alright. Coming right up."

Rory pulled out a little container full of cheerios and opened it so Lora snack on them.

Miss Patty came up to her, "Oh Rory darling we've missed you so much around here. Oh and this must be little Lorelai.. Oh she's beautiful."

Rory smiled, "We call her Lora, to avoid confusion."

Patty laughed, "That was probably wise. Oh say hello to your mother for me."

"Okay. Bye Miss Patty."

Jess walked up to her, "Confusion about what?" He asked.

"What?"

"You call her Lora to avoid confusion. What confusion?"

"Oh her name is Lorelai.." She told him like that was supposed to explain it all. He just stared.

"My name is Lorelai. My mother's name is Lorelai."

"Oh.. Mind if I ask why you are all named Lorelai?"

"Well my mom says she named me after her cause men do it all the time, and she was being all female empowered and stuff, but I have a feeling that a lot of Demerol had something to do with her decision. I named her Lorelai after my mother, not myself."

"Oh. I see."

"You think I'm crazy don't you?"

"No.. Well maybe a little." They smiled at each other.

Lorelai and Luke walked into the diner.

"Mom."

"Hey Rory we're back."

"I see that. Have you been working Luke to death."

"Of course." Lorelai looked at Lors. "Hello Lora." Lorelai cooed as she took the aforementioned baby from Rory. "How's my grand daughter." She looked at Rory, "No matter how many times I say it, it still sounds weird. Grand daughter. I'm only 32."

"Well you think its weird now wait till she starts calling you Grandma." Rory laughed.

"Aw man I hadn't thought about that." Lorelai looked up at Jess, letting the baby rest on her hip. "Who's this?"

"Oh Lorelai this is Jess, my nephew, Liz's kid. Jess this is Lorelai, Rory's mother."

"Oh hi, its nice to meet you."

"I see what you mean about the eyes." He said to Rory. She smiled.

"So just how long are you here for?" Lorelai asked taking a seat next to Rory.

"Uh indefinitely."

"Oh. How long have you been here."

"Uhm..."

"Seven months." Rory filled in for him.

"Yeah seven months." Jess confirmed.

"How do you know that?" Luke and Lorelai asked in unison.

"We met on the bus, when he was coming into Stars Hollow. I was seven months pregnant then, and so I did the math, cause you know I've always been good at that addition concept, and figured it out."

"You met on a bus to Stars Hollow? Why were you on a bus to Stars Hollow? Hartford is the other way."

"Yeah I know I wanted to come by and visit."

"With out me you visited with out me."

"No." Jess spoke, "She never got off the bus."

"Oh. Well it doesn't matter now, know why?"

"Why?"

"Cause we're home."

"Hey Luke you know what I need?"

"Oh I don't know... Coffee?"

"Oh say it slower and with your pants off."

"Mom, there is a child present."

"Oh she doesn't understand it you could say anything to her in a cute voice and she would still smile."

"Still."

"Fine I'll stop."

"And you know you're not supposed to talk to them in that baby voice all the time, if you do they wont develop proper speech."

"Yeah yeah I know. But we cant all talk to her about politics and The Fountainhead." She said the last part in a baby voice.

"Oh no you're gonna make her an Ayn Rand fan like your self aren't you."

"Why of course. What else would I do."

"You still working on that argument about Hemingway or do you have it yet?" Rory rolled her eyes and smiled. Luke walked over with Lorelai's coffee.

"Mmm.. coffee." Lorelai smiled, "Here Luke can you take Lora." Lorelai handed him the baby before he could answer.

"Why did you hand me the baby. I'm not good with babies. The last baby I held was Rory and that was like 16 years ago."

"Here." Jess set down the coffee pot he was holding and asked Rory, "May I?" She nodded and Jess took Lora from Luke.

"Hello Lora, I'm Jess. You know no matter what your mama says Hemingway is the best author, and Ayn Rand is insane."

"Hey.. Don't poison my daughter's mind." Rory joked as she watched Jess easily amuse her daughter.

"Well we'll just have to let her decide who's the better author when she's old enough."
