Chapter 14- A Step Closer and a Step Away

On Sunday, Sookie stopped by the Inn looking for Lorelai.

"Hi Lorelai greeted her.

"Hi" Sookie replied. "Who's that?" She indicated to Rory.

"Oh crap! I didn't tell you did I"

"Tell me what?"

"This is my daughter Rory"

"Your-"

"My daughter"

"Wha- Wow! ummm… ok you have a daughter"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you it just didn't come up"

"You mean I didn't randomly ask you if you had a daughter?"

"I'm sorry"

"It's ok. I just… Well I didn't know where you lived or I would have called first. You told me that you worked here, so I thought that I would check here. I don't really have anywhere else to go. I don't have any other friends really…"

"It's ok Sookie. But why are you here?"

"Well I…I-I had a fight with my parents"

"Oh" Lorelai knew what that felt like.

"I told them that I wanted to get a job, But they didn't want me to work yet, they wanted me to concentrate on my school work. I yelled at them, and well all hell broke loose"

"Oh Sookie"

"So I was wondering if your parents would mind if I stayed at your place for a little while"

"Well Sook… actually I-I don't live with my parents"

Sookie gave her a puzzled look.

"I moved out after I had Rory. Now I work here and live in the potting shed out back"

"Wow. You're a teenage mother and you live on your own?"

"Yep"

"That must be hard"

"Yeah, sometimes. But it's way better then living with my parents."

"Were they awful?"

"You have no idea"

Sookie smiled sympathetically.

"But you know" Lorelai told her "You could probably spend a couple nights here at the Inn. I'm sure that Mia won't mind"

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll ask her for you"

Mia said that it was fine, after they explained the problem to her. And, she suggested that Sookie work as an assistant chef in the kitchen. Sookie agreed eagerly, and got to work immediately.

Lorelai went to bed that night, proud that she was able to help her friend. Best friend.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sookie adapted to her new job quickly, and the other workers loved her, because she was always coming up with new creative ideas. In a few days, Sookie moved back home. Her mom liked that she was working at the inn. She trusted Mia, and wasn't worried about Sookie.

By the beginning of February the snow had already started to melt. On a particularly cold evening in February, Luke and Sookie were over at Lorelai's. They were drinking hot chocolate and talking about the upcoming Valentine's Day Dance. Luke had asked Lorelai to go, and she was very surprised, because he doesn't usually go to these kinds of things, but she agreed to go. Rory was playing on the floor.

"I hope they don't have crappy music" Sookie said.

"Yeah that would suck." Lorelai agreed. Luke nodded.

"But there will probably be good foo- OH MY GOD!" Lorelai screamed. "Look at Rory!" She had gotten up using the bed and was now proceeding to walk over to her mom.

"oh my God!" Luke said "Her first steps, and me and Sookie got to see"

Tears streamed down Lorelai's face and she had a big grin on her face. "My baby is growing up"

Luke and Sookie laughed.

That month, Sookie had taken a step away from her mom and Rory took a step closer. It sure had been an eventful month!

Just then, Rory fell flat no her butt and started to cry. Luke ran over to her and picked her up.

"It's ok princess. You'll get the hang of it" He set her back down on the floor in a standing position. "here let me help you"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry it took so long! I'll try to get the next one up soon!

I bought the TV guide at Wal-Mart cuz it had Gilmore girls on the cover and inside its says...ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND REFRAIN FROM SCREAMING!... ASP is leaving at the end of this year, and she doesn't know for sure if the WB will keep going with the show but it doesn't matter anyway cuz AMY IS THE BEST PART! She adds all the wacky references and stuff and the show would suck without her! LETS ALL SEND HER HATE MAIL! I AM SERIOUSLY CRYING!
