Ok so here comes the dark place, this lasts for about 3 parts and then it goes back to something remotley normal and then comes the fluff that I oh so stupidly promised. Thanks so much for the reviews and im sorry if some of you think this darkness is a little too dark but I didn't want this fanfic to be a typical weddings and babies kind of thing, I wanted it to be real and use things that seemed more real. Enjoy…..

Part 8 'Truth Comes'"Rory, come on tell me, how did things get like this, why the hell didn't you call, if I'd of known how bad things had gotten I would have been right there, no questions asked" Lorelai had waited for a while before asking. She drove around aimlessly, not really knowing where to take Rory. The one thing she knew was Rory wasn't going home, no way.
"Mom, stop it, leave me alone, there must have been a big understanding, I'm gonna call the authorities and straighten everything out when I get home, calm down." Rory was hiding her fear of returning home, she had nothing but her job left to go back to, without Libby her life was empty, she didn't really love Alex, she was just scared of leaving him.
"No I wont leave it alone Rory, your hurt and I get that but the one thing I thought of you was that you would of taken your baby out of there. If you wouldn't of done it yourself I at least thought you would of done it for her. From what you said on the phone she means everything to you and you just let this happen. Rory your in danger of being killed there and so is she and you stayed, you didn't do anything about it you just stayed there and watched it happen." Lorelai was crying now, for many reasons, not just this. She was crying for Rory, she was crying for Libby, she was crying because she missed Rory and she was crying for her family, her new family.
Anger roams around me
and it feels like bubbling out
Don't let it overflow you
or you might not ever get out
"Mom, you haven't met him, you've never spoke to him or heard anything from him. You just cut me out, four years ago and now you come about telling me what to do. I love Libby but I can't take care of her myself, that's the very reason I left Skye with you, with you." Rory broke down and began to cry, she was mumbling now and sobbing heavily, Lorelai just looked helplessly as Rory cried and let out everything she felt she had to. "I left Skye, with you, and Luke, because, I couldn't take care of her, I couldn't look after her, I was too young. Then when Libby was born, I had Alex and I was happy but then he went bad. He got stressed and he's under a lot of pressure. He can't help it, and now its just us 3, Jades at school and his Grandpas moved to Florida with his Fiancée. There's just me and Libby left and he has to take care of us. That sort of burden can get to someone that's why I had to leave Skye. I couldn't face the rest of my life having another persons life to manage." Rory stopped talking after a while and just lay back silently crying.
Lorelai hadn't planned to do this but she knew that she had no other choice. She had to take Rory home, but not to the place Rory now called home, to the place that would always be her home, no matter what. Lorelai took Rory, back to Stars Hollow.
She drove through the town, people watching her and spotting Rory, looking very ill and weak in the car with her. She pulled up on the drive and shook Rory, who had fallen into a light sleep on the ride, awake.
"Where am I" Rory stepped out of the care looking puzzled.
"Please tell me you haven't forgotten us already, I thought we were way too crazy for you to forget" Lorelai's mood had lightened now and strangely, she was happy that she had brought Rory here, home, where she was safe.
She led Rory up the steps and inside. There was no one in, Luke was at work and Skye was, somewhere, Lorelai wasn't sure where.
"So, what do you want to do?" Lorelai was smiling so widely she looked like she had stepped right off the set for a toothpaste ad.
"I think, I would like to sleep" even Rory looked happier. She was in a good mood now and happy to be back, home.
"Well then, go on into your room and lay down." Lorelai smiled at the thought of being able to call it someone's room again instead of just staring at it every day and not telling anyone what was behind the door.
"What, my room, its still there and still called my room?" Rory was smiling so much she was almost about to laugh she was so happy.
"Yeah, not one thing has moved since you left, no one, not even me has been in there for 4 and a half years" Lorelai proclaimed, she said it almost proudly, as if she knew that this day was going to come and she would be able to leave the room like that waiting for it.
"Imagine the dust" Rory covered the gap of silence with a wicked realisation
"Ugh, I never thought of that. So you go and sleep and I'll call you when I get Luke to bring some food" Lorelai almost shoved Rory into her room.
"Ooo, a cheeseburger, and from Luke's too, its been way too long." Rory smiled as she turned and shut her room door behind her.
Lorelai sat down at the kitchen table and simply just smiled. Rory laid down on her bed and smiled too, as if she knew what Lorelai was thinking.
