The next day was the first day of classes. Rory was up early and in search of coffee on campus. She found a nice little kiosk a about 5 minutes from her dorm. She was ordering when she heard her phone start to ring.
"Hello?"
"Aurora Leigh Rothschild!" She heard her mother yell into the phone.
Rory cringed when she realized she forgot to call her mother after she landed.
"Hey mum!"
"Wow, you remember who I am! I'm shocked. Finnegan, are you shocked? Our only daughter, our baby girl doesn't call us when she lands, thousands of miles from home, to start college."
"Mum! Dad! I'm so sorry! I saw Finn and we just started talking, and it flew out of my mind. Then, I saw Steph and met some of Finn's friends and we talked, caught-up and got to know each other! I swear! I'm so sorry! Uhh.. Daddy, I got a car yesterday!"
"Wow, you remembered I told you to get a car, but forget to call your mother!"
Rory laughed and drank her coffee while she spoke to her parents.
"One more thing, I have so bad news, or good news, depending on how you look at it, Aurora."
Rory was scared when she heard her father's shaky voice.
"What daddy?"
"The adoption agency called us this morning. It seems that your biological mother is looking for you. Apparently, she claim's that she was forced by her parents to give you up, and is threatening to sue if they don't give her your contact information. It seem's that she is from an affluent family, who has the money to do so."
Rory sighed and thought about what to do.
"Let her find me. I don't want the adoption agency to suffer due to this woman's inabilty to love a child. I don't care. I know my parents are Finnegan and Portia Rothschild. I couldn't care less about what this woman wants. She didn't want me, and truthfully, I'm glad. Then I wouldn't have you guys, or Finn and X."
Rory started to tear up when she heard her mother sniffle.
"Sweetheart, it means so much to hear you say that. We love you so much." Rory heard her father say, while trying to calm down her mother.
"I love you guys too. Now, Its my first day at Yale, and I don't want people to think I'm a freak for sitting here crying in the middle of the courtyard, so I'm gonna go, I love you guys so much, and I swear that I will call you later, after classes! Ok?"
"Bye sweets, Don't forget about us, all the way over in the states."
Rory laughed.
"Don't worry mum. If I even thought I was close to forgetting you guys, you would be here ASAP and wouldn't leave until your image was burned into my brain. Well, I will talk to you guys later! I love you."
Rory closed her phone and stood up. She was walking to class when some guy ran into her.
"Woah! I'm sorry!" The guy said.
"Oh, Its ok, I should of been paying better attention." Rory responded
"Ok, Hey, I'm Marty." The guy said.
"Hello Marty, I'm Aurora, or Rory for short."
"Wow, that is a great name."
"Well, when your parents are Finnegan and Portia, and your brothers are Finnegan and Xavier, it comes with the territory to have a 'unique' name as its been put."
Just then, Logan, Colin and Finn walked by, and Colin bumped into Marty's shoulder.
"What? You seriously didn't see me there?" Colin said, and Rory just rolled her eyes. Waiting for them to notice her.
"Wait! I've seen you before! In a uniform of some sort?" Logan asked
"May-tag repair man!" Finn chimed in, an Rory looked at him with an eye-brow raised.
"I've bartended at your parties." Marty said
"Oh yea! You make a kick-ass margarita."
Rory thought it was time to step in.
"You will have to excuse my brother and his friends. And, now, tell me more about this margarita!" Rory said, while steering Marty away from the boys.
Rory was excited, she was just about to escape Finn and his friends when Finn stopped them.
"AURORA!" He called angrily
"FINNEGAN" She called, while still walking away.
"I don't think I've gotten to know this strange boy who you are walking away with, what would Dad think?"
"FINN! I'm 18 fucking years old! If I want to take Martin-"
"Marty" Marty corrected
"-Marty, back to my dorm and fuck his brains out, it is none of your concern!" Rory exploded
"Right, MY little sister is none of my concern." Finn yelled back
"Whatever, look I'm going to be late for my class. I will talk to you later." Rory said angrily
Rory stalked off and didn't notice as Logan caught up, keeping in stride with her.
"So, what was with the little freak out back there?" Logan asked casually
"UGH! FINN! He won't let me live my life. I'm supposed to be the perfect, little virginal, non-drinking little sister in his eyes."
"So?"
"SO?...SO?" Rory exploded "I can't take it! I'll bet he even told you to stay away from me, right?"
"Yeah." Logan responded
"See? He is going to make it so I'm a spinster. I mean, just start buying me cats now, because with the way Finn is acting, I will need them soon."
Logan laughed and caused Rory to smile.
"So, got a guy waiting at home?"
"Nope, I don't do relationships. To much work." Rory responded
"Louis, I think this is the beginning to a beautiful friendship." Logan replied.

In Hartford, Lorelei was at the adoption agency.
"Look, I am Lorelei Gilmore. My father insure's this building and if you don't give me contact information for my little girl, I will make sure your insurance is cancelled and you can't get anymore." Lorelei threatened
"I will call the people who adopted your little girl, and see if they allow you to have their contact information." The woman said, walking back into her office
"Hello, Mrs. Rothschild? This is Marie Hanson from New Beginnings Adoption Agency."
"Yes?" A very worried Portia replied.
"The biological mother of your adopted Daughter, Aurora, is here, requesting her contact information, she has threatened to sue, and have her fathers company cancel our insurance if we don't give it to her.
Portia's heart dropped. They knew that this day would come some time.
"Well, I will have to discuss it with Aurora. Please hold for a few minutes while I call her?"
"Yes, of course Mrs. Rothschild, thank you."
Marie breathed out slightly, she didn't think that being promoted to head of this agency would bring such problems. She waited for Portia to come back on the line, and watched Lorelei Gilmore as she paced in the main room of the office.
"Ms. Hanson?"
"Yes?"
"My husband and I have spoken to our daughter and she agreed to allow you to give her contact information. She doesn't want any trouble for your agency. I would prefer it if this woman called her instead of getting her address, because I don't know her, so if Aurora wishes she can give her biological mother her address, but her phone number is 123-555-5985"
"Your daughter is a very kind person. Thank you very much. From this one small gesture I can tell you raised a fine girl."
"We are very proud of her. She is attending Yale right now, you know."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, and I am very sorry this woman put you through this stress."
"Thank you Ma'am for being so understanding."
"It hurts a little that this woman comes back now, but I cannot stop her. Well, have a pleasant day."
"You too ma'am."
Marie walked out of her office and went over to Lorelei.
"Did you get in touch with them?" Lorelei asked hopefully
"Yes, Your daughters mother-"
"I AM HER MOTHER!" Lorelei shrieked
"Your daughter's mother," Marie ignored "Called her and gained permission for you to have her phone number."
"Why can I not have her address? I wanted to do this in person."
"This woman would feel more comfortable if her daughter gave you her address, she doesn't know you and that is understandable. Her phone number is 123-555-5985"
"123? That is here in Connecticut! I have lived this close to my baby all this time?"
"No, your daughter lived out of the country most her life, she is here attending Yale."
"Thank you so much." Lorelei said, she was shocked her daughter is attending Yale. She turned and started to walk out. Then she turned back around and asked quietly. "What is her name?"
"Aurora, Aurora Leigh Rothschild."
"Rothschild? As in Rothschild Hotel Management Firm?"
"I believe so."
"She is rich?"
"Yes. One of the 10 richest women under 25. I believe a magazine article said."
"Thank you."
Lorelei started back out of the office to her car.
'My baby is wealthy. I didn't want this life for her. She grew up like I did. I can't believe it. This isn't what I wanted. Why? I hate my parents. They forced me to give her up. Said I was to young. I can't stand this anymore. I am calling Chris, then I am calling my Aurora.' Lorelei thought as she started the jeep.
She grabbed her phone and looked for Chris's number. She hit send and rested her head back.
"Hayden."
"Chris? It's Lorelei."
"Lore? What's going on?"
"I found her." Lorelei said softly
"You found our daughter? How? The agency would never give us information."
"I know, but today the woman called the people who adopted her. They called Aurora and she gave permission for me to have her phone number."
"Wow."
"Yea. So, I'm going to call her. Do you want to meet her?"
"HELL YEA! Tell me when and where."
"I will call you back later."
"Bye Lore...thanks."
"She is your daughter too."
Lorelei hung up the phone and with shaky fingers, dialed the number that was burned into her brain the moment she heard it.
The phone rang several times and then a sweet voice answered
"Hello?"
"Aurora?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"I'm your mother. Your biological mother. Lorelei Gilmore."
"WHAT?"
"I'm sorry, but I was told you gave permission for me to have your number." Lorelei said, holding back tears.
"Yes I did. I just never expected it to be you."
"What?"
"I met you yesterday. At the Diner with my brother and my friends."
"OHMIGOD Thats why."
"What?"
"Yesterday when I met you I felt something, you just reminded me of my little girl. Now it makes sence, you are my Aurora."
"Excuse me? The only thing of mine that's yours is my blood. The only people who can refer to me as 'My Aurora' is my parents, and my brothers."
"I'm sorry, I just want to see you, get to know you, explain things."
"Fine, I'm about to walk into my next class so I will call you later. Good-Bye, Lorelei."
-GG-
Rory stopped walking and burst into tears. Logan was walking out of his class and saw Rory break down.
"Rory? What's wrong?" He asked in a panic
"I need Finn." is all she could muster up to say.
"Come on, Come to our dorm, I will call him on the way."
"Thank you."
Rory collapsed into Logan's arms and he half carried her back to the dorm while she was sobbing.
Finn arrived a short time later, hearing that his sister was hysterical.
"What wrong Ror?" He asked gently
"She called me. She called me hers. I'm the scandal."
"What are you talking about?"
"My biological mother."
"Who is she?"
"Lorelei Gilmore."
"Wha- ohhh." Finn said, understanding.
"Finn, I'm the scandal."
"No you aren't, you are the perfect Rothschild daughter. Leave the scandals to me and X." Finn said jokingly
"Finn, she wants to meet me, she called me 'My Aurora.' Why? Why would she do that?" Rory cried
"I don't know. Now, do you want me to go with you?"
"I don't even know if I'm going yet. I gotta think about it.
"Do what you want. I'm here for you."
Rory looked up at Finn and then burried her head into his chest to start crying again.
She knew that she had a lot to think about, she just couldn't decide what to do.
-GG-
A/N: I am so inspired with this story. I know that Rory must of seemed like a bitch to Lorelei, but I wanted to show, that their relationship is going to take work, so please, RR!
