Part 5b 'My Life Now'
"Hello" a young girl picked up
"erm, I'm, er looking for Rory, is she there but if she isn't it…" Lorelai trailed on but was cut off by the young girl
"Rory, there's someone on the phone for you. She's just coming" the little girl left the phone on the table and walked away as Rory came and picked it up.
"Hello" Rory said politely
"Erm, Rory, its me, it your um mom" Lorelai didn't know what to say to Rory, she had planned this over and over in her head ever since Rory had given her the picture, but all of that planning had gone out of the window.
"Erm, mom, hi, I, didn't think that you, I didn't expect you to call, you didn't feel like you had to did you, that's not what it was meant for, I put the phone number on there, you know if you wanted to call." Rory was clearly trying to hide her happiness that her mom had called after 3 months.
You wanna know why I stay hereStand here and look up at the sky
The sky is perfect and that's all it needs to be
No one expects anymore from the sky like they do from me
"I called because, because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to. I realised after you left and gave me that picture, that there were 2 ways I could end this situation. I could go back to trying my hardest to pretend you didn't exist or I could call you and I could get to know you, the new you. And I could get to know your new family and maybe, just maybe, I aren't expecting anything, I could become part of that new family." Lorelai cried hard as she spoke down the phone
"Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted you to say all of those things but after a few weeks I left that dream behind and now, your saying all of these things and I planned on saying no if you ever did say these things but now I cant. I want you to be on that picture" Rory didn't want to say these things to her mom but she broke, her heart poured out and set free her soul. Her soul had been trapped behind all of those feelings of hate and blame towards her mom that lied in her heart and now it was free she needed to see where she could take this thing with her mom. She had to do it for herself, for her mom and mostly for both of their families.
"So where d'you wanna start?" Lorelai laughed through her tears.
"How about, the beginning" Rory suggested
"Sounds like a great place to me!" Lorelai got comfortable on her bed and listened to Rory talk
"Well when I told grandma and grandpa about the baby, they planned a wedding and all I had to do was turn up. I kinda just followed what they said, I felt like I'd lost something when we stopped talking and then, I had nothing in my life so I just went along. I showed up at the church and said I do, then 2 months later she was born and I left. When I got to New York, I didn't know what to do, I had no job, no degree, and no place to live, so I did what I knew how and went to Princeton. I enrolled and got a scholarship; I started and met Alex. After 2 years of course I left and moved in with Alex. It turns out that Alex's grandpa owns like the New York Times so he got me a small job, writing a little weekly column and everything was great for a while. Then Alex's parents were killed in a car crash and his sister had to move in with us. Things were a little awkward for w while and then to add to things, both at once, I fell pregnant again and Alex's grandpa moved in after being kicked out of his apartment block, on 5th Avenue, he is a rich man but he choose to move in with us. So then we had no where near enough rooms for everyone. We moved to a new apartment block on 5th, I got promoted, Jade started at a boarding school up in Boston and Alex got a big job as a lawyer. 9 months later, on a trip to The statue of Liberty when Jade was on leave, Liberty was born, right there in front of the statue of Liberty, hence the name. Everything was weird for a while, so I tried so many ways to fix it; none worked until I came to see you. I saw everything I left behind and I realised what I had back in NY, and that if I left there to come back to stars Hollow, I would be doing exactly what I did 4 years ago, so I went back, satisfied, after giving you the picture and I took care of my family now. So now I wake up everyday, happy to be where I am, sure I miss Stars Hollow, but I love NY just like I did when I was young. I know it's a long story, but I wanted to tell you all of this, so you would do the same.' Rory laughed.
