To all my reviewers- Love to you all!
Here we are... Again.
Chapter 9- Because. We need to talk.
"Come on baby. Do this for mommy. Please." Rory begged the crying child in her arms.
There was a knock at the door. She went to answer it.
"Dad? What are you doing here?" She asked still trying to calm Oliver.
"I just wanted to stop by. Say hey. Do you need some help?"
"Yes. I cant figure out what's wrong. He's not hungry, he doesn't have a fever. I cant figure it out." Rory said sounding worried. "I try to give him his pacifier, he just spits it out. I've tried everything. Nothings working. I just. I just cant. I cant figure it out!" Rory felt like crying.
"Can you take him for just a minute. Please."
Chris nodded and took Oliver from her. He didn't stop crying. Rory went to the couch and collapsed.
"Rory where is Lorelai?" Chris asked bouncing Oliver and attempting to quiet him.
"She's in New York. She left two days ago and.. I haven't talked to her since Tuesday and-"
"What is she doing in New York?" Chris asked.
"She's visiting someone. I don't know why. But she is and I'm here alone for the first time since Oliver was born. And I don't know what to do and Oliver has not stopped crying in ten hours."
"Okay. Okay. I got it. Have you tried calling her?"
"Yeah. It just goes straight to voice mail."
"Alright well you know what, why don't we try calling her again." Chris said handing Rory the phone.
She took it and dialed. "Mom!"
"Rory? Honey what's wrong?"
"Mom. Oliver wont stop crying. And I've tried everything and I don't know what to do and I need my mommy."
"Oh honey. I'm so sorry. I'm coming home now."
"Right now?"
"Yes. There are dust clouds behind me and the background keeps repeating it's self."
"Thank you."
"Bye baby."
"Bye."
Lorelai hung up the phone and turned to Jess.
"I have to go." She said grabbing her purse. "Come on." She said. "Go grab some clothes, you can stay at the Dragonfly. Come on." Lorelai commanded and Jess complied.
-
Jess and Lorelai were in the car now. A wave of realization hit Lorelai.
"Shit!" She suddenly said picking up her phone.
"What?"
"I know what it is."
Three rings and Chris picked up.
"Hello?"
"Chris?"
"Lorelai."
"Oh whatever. is Rory there?"
"Yeah."
"Give her the phone." She demanded.
Chris handed Rory the phone and took Oliver while telling her, "Its your mother."
"Mom."
"Rory. I need you to go and get your old copy of HOWL and give it to Oliver."
"What? Why?" Rory asked confused.
"Rory just do it."
"I don't even know where it is, mom."
"It should be in the crib that's in the living room." Lorelai told her.
Rory went and looked around the crib. "Mom I don't see it."
"Keep looking."
Rory pulled up the little mattress and found it. "I found it."
"Okay, give it to him."
"Okay.." Rory complied, still confused.
Lorelai could hear Oliver stop crying.
"Oh thank god." Rory said. "But I don't get it."
"I give it to him when he can't sleep or wont stop crying."
"So what he really likes Allen Ginsberg?"
"No. Sweetie. Who's writing is all over that book?"
"Jess." Rory said realizing.
"Right." Lorelai said exiting the freeway.
"So.. He likes it because it's got Jess' writing."
"Because its a part of him. Don't ask me to explain it but there's a connection between the two of them."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"Where are you?"
"I'm close."
"Okay. I'll see you when you get here."
"Bye baby."
"Bye mom."
Lorelai hung up the phone. And glanced at Jess for a second.
"He has a connection to Allen Ginsberg?"
"You two are funny. And no."
"Then why did that help?"
"You."
Jess looked back out at the road that was quickly disappearing behind them.
"Jess... Earth to Jess. Come in Jess." Lorelai waved a hand in front of his face.
"What?"
"You totally spaced."
"We stopped." Jess pointed out.
"Very good."
"Why did we stop?"
"Because Stars Hollow is just up ahead and you have to duck." Lorelai told him.
"Oh right. Okay." Jess slouched down in his seat.
"Okay." Lorelai pushed the gas pedal and took off into Stars Hollow.
She went straight to The Dragonfly. She came into the Inn and looked around. She went back outside and pulled Jess in.
"Come on. Room Three is open."
Lorelai grabbed the keys as they went. She opened the door and Jess stepped inside.
"This is where you'll stay. At least until I talk to Rory. Don't wanna just spring this on her."
"Right." Jess nodded, looking around.
"So Okay. I'm gonna go home. I don't have your cell number. What is it?" Lorelai took out her phone.
"Fifty five, Fifty nine, Twenty one, Two."
"Alright." Lorelai said programming it into her phone. "I'll call. Make your self and home and do not go down stairs."
"Okay."
Lorelai left and shut the door.
-
"Sookie?" Lorelai said coming into the kitchen.
"Lorelai? Oh my god you're back! And you look upset. Are you upset?"
"Yes. But there's no time for that now."
"Okay. What is there time for?"
"I need you to bring room service to room three."
"But no ones in room three."
"There's someone in room three now."
"Who's in room three?"
"Jess is in room three." Lorelai told her.
"Jess is in room three?" Sookie questioned.
"Yes. Now I need you to go up there and bring him diner and take all the alcohol out of the mini bar. Temptation right now its not good." Lorelai said looking more worried by the second.
"Alright." Sookie agreed to Lorelai's requests.
"Now I gotta go. I'll see you Sook."
"Bye. And I am still no less confused as I was when you came in."
"I know. I'm sorry. Details later."
"Details later." Sookie nodded as Lorelai left.
-
"Rory?" Lorelai asked as she walked into the house.
Both Rory and Chris jumped out and shushed her.
"Okay why am I being shushed, violently if I might say."
"Oliver's asleep." Chris informed her.
"Finally." Rory added.
"That's great." Lorelai looked at Chris and pulled him to the side.
"Hey, what's up Lor?" Chris asked.
"I need you to leave."
"What?" Chris asked.
"I need to talk to Rory." Lorelai explained.
"Alright." Chris complied.
They walked back over to Rory.
"Hey kiddo. I gotta go." He told her.
"Oh alright."
"Bye kid." Chris hugged her.
"Bye Dad."
Chris left and Lorelai stood staring at Rory. When Rory noticed she jumped.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked.
"Because. We need to talk."
Lorelai took Rory over to the couch and they sat down.
