Sorry it took me over a week to update, I was writing a new story (not like I need one) and I was getting my license and doing stuff in preparation. Okay enough about me.
This chapter will be about how Matthew and Maria adapt to living in Star's Hollow. I hope you will like this. Also, if anyone is wondering what happened to Rory, I will explain that either in this chapter or one of the next few ones.
A Different Kind of Family This has to be a dream, right?When the plane finally landed at the airport in Hartford, Luke practically ran to get off. Lorelai had to fight to hold back her laughter.
"Hey." She said to him. "How you doin'?"
"Much better now that I've gotten off of the plane." Luke said.
Lorelai chuckles. "That's what I thought. I'm gonna go call Sookie and ask her to some get us."
"Okay. That sounds good." Luke said. "We'll go pick up the luggage."
Lorelai nods and then goes over to some chairs to call Sookie.
I looked questionably at Matthew. "Sookie?" Matthew shrugged his shoulders in response.
Luke starts walking to the baggage claim and motioned for Matthew and me to follow him. After we finally get our luggage, we met Lorelai and waited outside for Sookie to come and get us.
"Oh my god, where is Sookie?" Lorelai asked impatiently.
"There was probably traffic." Luke tells her. "Star's Hollow is thirty minutes away."
"Yeah, but it's been an hour." Lorelai tells him.
"She'll be here soon." Luke told her.
Then, as if on queue, a van, presumably Sookie's, pulled around the curve.
"Praise the Lord!" Lorelai yelled out as she jumped off of the suitcase she was sitting on.
"Hey guys." Sookie said getting out.
"What took you so long?" Lorelai asked.
"Hello to you too." Sookie says rolling her eyes. "There was traffic-"
"I told you." Luke said to Lorelai.
"-and then I got lost trying to find the gate." Sookie tells them.
"Well, at least you're here now." Lorelai said to her. "Let's get truckin'!" Lorelai called out grabbing the suitcase she was sitting on and putting it in Sookie's trunk.
The rest of us just stood there not really sure what to do. Sookie looked over at Luke expectantly.
"What? OH! Um, Sookie this is Matthew and Maria. Matthew, Maria, this is Sookie. She the Chef at the Dragonfly Inn."
"It's nice to meet you." Sookie tells them.
"Yeah you too." Matthew says.
"I think Lorelai mentioned you when were at the mall today." I told her.
"Oh, well it's nice to be mentioned." Sookie says.
More awkward silence.
"Well, I guess we should put our stuff in the car and get going." Luke says trying to break the silence. They all put the rest of their things in the car, and then piled into Sookie's mini-van. After forty long minutes, they finally passed the Star's Hollow. As the car passed Miss Patty tried to wave them over, but Sookie pretended not to see her and continued on the road.
We pulled up at this big house with columns that didn't really fit in with the rest of the houses that we passed in town. Despite this, it was really gorgeous.
"Well, here we are!" Sookie announced.
Wow, she's hyper. I wonder if she's like this all the time, or if she's just being like this because of the situation.
Luke and Lorelai led us into the house and gave us a tour.
"Okay," Lorelai started. "This is the living area." She said gesturing with her hands. She then turned and walked towards the kitchen. "This is the kitchen, where Luke cooks and the coffee lives." Lorelai told us. "and then down here we have the bathroom." She said opening the door. "We also have the master bedroom and another bedroom." She said and then started walking quickly back around to the living room. When she reached the living room she headed up the staircase. "Up here we have three bedrooms and a bonus room. Now one of them is my daughter Rory's room. We already put her stuff in there sorry, but we got the call right after we moved in."
Woah, she has a daughter. I wonder where she is.
"Why don't you guys check out the rooms and then tell me and Luke who wants which room, okay?" She said.
"That's fine." I say.
Matthew just nods.
After Lorelai leaves I turn to Matthew. "This has to be a dream right?" I say. "I mean places like this don't really exist. I feel like I'm in a movie or something." I say.
"It doesn't look like it will be that bad." Matthew tells me.
"I hope not." I say. "Lets go pick our rooms." I say. The two rooms were across the hall from each other. The smaller of the two was beside Rory's room. It had a cathedral ceiling so I instantly fell in love with it and called it my own. Matthew was fine with that though, because the other bedroom was not only bigger, but had more closet space. Our family is strange one. The boy wants the room with the most closet space and the girl doesn't care. How odd.
After we had chosen our rooms, we went downstairs.
"So, did you guys like the rooms?" Luke asked us.
"Their nice." I say.
"Oh yeah? Who got the bigger room?" Luke asked.
I pointed to my brother.
Luke nodded. "Ah, so, Lorelai just went out for a minute, to get you temporary beds, but when she gets back I thought we'd have dinner. What would you like to eat?"
"What do you have?" Matthew asks.
Of course, now he talks. It's always about food. I shook my head at my thoughts.
"Umm, not much because we literally moved in the day before we came to North Carolina. How about we go out? I could take you to the diner. That way you can get whatever you want." Luke tells them.
"Okay, sounds good." Matthew tells him.
Luke looks at me.
"That'll be fine." I tell him.
"Okay, good." He says. Then Lorelai opens the door.
"I'm home!" She yells from outside.
"Lorelai, what are you doing?" Luke asks as he runs outside.
Moments later Luke and a man in an odd hat and overalls come in the door carrying a mattress. Hmm… so those must be our temporary beds. Luke and the mysterious man brought the mattress upstairs, then came down and repeated the action with the other mattress.
"We're sleeping on mattresses on the floor?" I ask.
"Hey, at least Luke didn't try to make you sleep on a raft." Lorelai said.
"It was an inflatable mattress not a raft!" Luke called as he came downstairs.
"Uh huh." Lorelai said. "But, really doesn't this bring back memories of four years ago?" Lorelai said to him.
"Yes." Luke tells her. "And that kind of scares me." He says.
"Hey, those were way different circumstances. Besides, I will be at your side helping you all the time. Not just occasionally." She told him with a smile. Then the overall-wearing man came down the stairs.
"Oh, Jackson thanks so much for helping out!" Lorelai told him.
"No problem. Well, I've gotta get home. Sookie and I have to pack." Jackson said.
"Oh that's right you're going to visit your mother tomorrow. Well, have fun!" Lorelai told him.
"Thanks. Bye." He said exiting the front door.
"So, that was Jackson." Lorelai says.
Luke looks at Lorelai expectantly. She nods.
"Hey, could you guys sit down for a minute. We have something that we need to discuss with you." Luke said.
Hmmm… I wonder what this is about. He seems very nervous.
"Lorelai and I are, as you know, getting married." He said.
Uh huh. And?
"And we're going to have a baby." Lorelai finished.
Woah. A step-sibling and a half-sibling. This will be interesting.
"Congratulations." Matthew says.
"Yeah." I say. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Luke says.
Luke smiles at Lorelai. I've never seen two people look at each other quite the way that Luke and Lorelai do. There's something different about it.
"So," I say. "Where is this diner that we're having dinner at?"
Lorelai looks up with a smile, then over at Luke, and then at me again.
"Luke's Diner?" She asks with a smile.
"Yeah. Luke's Diner." Luke says. "Well, we should get going."
"Are you sure you wanna do that there first night here?" Lorelai asked him. "People are not going to leave them alone. Or us." She tells him.
"Yeah you're right. I'll just go and get some stuff from the store to eat." He said.
"Or, I could go and pick up some food from the diner." Lorelai said.
"Okay sounds good." Luke says.
"I'll go get one of your menus out of the take-out drawer." She said before bouncing off into the kitchen.
"Why do you have a menu from my diner? Wait a minute. I don't wanna know." He said shaking his head.
After we ordered. Me and Luke turkeyburgers, Matthew and Lorelai Cheeseburgers and fries. Lorelai said quietly that she was picking up some coffee. I don't see why she likes coffee so much. It's not like she needs the caffeine or anything. Plus, doesn't she know how bad it is for you, especially when you're pregnant.
Lorelai had our orders and was leaving.
"By the way, I heard you and you're not getting any coffee unless it is decaf." Luke told her.
"Come on!" She said. "How will you know if I get a cup when you aren't there." She said.
"Because Caesar and Lane know not to give you coffee." Luke said.
"So, I'll just go to Weston's!" She told him.
"They know too." Luke told her.
"Lucas Danes, I cannot believe this. You went and talked to other people voluntarily." She said in shock.
"Whatever, jus go and get our food." He told her.
"Okay. Bye." She said.
TBCOkay, I know not much stuff happening. But it is leading up to things this is kinda a filler chapter and tells more about the character Maria. I hope you liked this. Please review!
