Hey I just wanna thank you for all of the positive reviews. Also, I was questioned about the names. Here's the reasoning: Bernadette – an old fashioned name (Lorelai would probably have picked it out), Amelia – Mia is short for Amelia, William – Luke's dad, and Bertram – Buddy's real name. So, sorry for the confusion. Okay, in this chapter we will return to the future/present however you wish to look at it. For the purposes of this story, Rory just told her mother everything that happened to her. Except why she is back.

Different Plans

Back to the Future

In Luke's office. Lorelai and Rory are sitting on the couch and Eitan is playing with a toy on the floor.

Lorelai looks down for a moment and then back up at Rory. "Why didn't you call me when you got to New York? You didn't have to tell me where you were, just that, you know you were okay." Lorelai said sniffling.

"I know that I should have, but I was upset and you were upset, and I was confused, and I didn't think that you wanted to hear from me, and I was too upset to talk to you. I was just soo mixed up." Rory said covering her face with her hands.

Lorelai put her hand on Rory's shoulder to comfort her, "Oh hun, you know I'm never to mad to talk to you. I will always be here for you to talk too."

"I know." Rory said looking up at her with a smile and tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry mom." Rory said hugging her mother.

They sat there like that for a few moments until Rory felt something scratching her arm.

"Hold on." Rory said trying to pull away. "Hold on, something's scratching me." She said looking down. Then she saw it. "You and Luke got married?" Rory asked.

Lorelai nodded.

"Without me there?" Rory said on the verge of tears.

"We tried to call you, but you weren't answering your phone. We even left messages but you never returned them. We had to do it because I was pregnant and we didn't want your grandma to be even more upset." Lorelai told her.

"Oh, I lost my cell phone once we got to the city." Rory said looking down. Then after a moment she jerked her head back up. "You were pregnant?" Rory asked.

Lorelai nodded with a smile.

"So I'm a big sister?" Rory said smiling.

"Yes." Lorelai said biting her lip, but grinning.

"So, do I have a little brother or a little sister?" Rory asked curiously.

"Both." Lorelai said.

Rory squealed with delight, and gave her mother a hug. "Oh mom! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks, I'm happy for me too. Especially since you're here too." She told Rory.

"So, tell me about my little brother and sister." Rory said excitedly.

"Well, Bernie is five, she's starting kindergarten in September, she already knows how to read, and Will's three. He has a LOT of energy." Lorelai said with a proud chuckle.

"Wow, that's great." Rory said, then added. "Is Will at the Inn right now?"

"Yeah." Lorelai said confused. "Why?"

"I went by the Inn and saw a little boy with bright blue eyes running around and Michel following him." Rory said chuckling.

"Oh, yep. That was Will." Lorelai said smiling proudly.

"Oh. So is that why you bought a van?" Rory asked. "You know, cause you have kids and everything."

"What are you talking about? I don't have a van. I have a Cherokee." She said confused. "Why?"

"Oh, because I went by the house too, and saw a van parked in the driveway." Rory explained.

"Oh, that's right. You didn't know." Lorelai said knowingly.

"Didn't know what?" Rory asked looking up at her mother.

"Luke and I moved into the Twickam house, so we let Lane, Zack, and Brian stay there when they're in town." Lorelai said.

"Oh." Rory said looking over at Eitan who was babbling to himself and playing with his toys. Lorelai watched as well.

After a while Lorelai said, "Why now?"

"What?" Rory asked.

"I'm not trying to come across as mean or anything but, why are you back?" Lorelai wanted to know.

"It was time to come home." Rory stated.

"But, why now?" Lorelai pressed.

"Well, the lease was up on our apartment so I put some stuff in storage and drove up here." Rory told her.

"Well, it's good to have you home kid." Lorelai said getting up, Rory following suit, and putting her arm around Rory's shoulders. "Come on, I'll take you to the house. We had your room set in case you came back." Rory goes and picks up Eitan, and they walk to the door. Lorelai stops and adds, "Luke is gonna freak out when he finds out that Jess got you pregnant." She chuckles and walks out the door.
