Chapter 4: The little rabbit

"Hello, Lorelai!" Emily said after Lorelai had opened the door.

"You don't need to ring the bell, mum. You have a key!" Lorelai said with a little smile.

"Well, your husband forbid me to ever enter this house again, so I didn't think it would be a good idea to use the key". Lorelai said nothing to this. Emily was angry with Luke and she would rub their noses in this incident for a long time.

They walked into the dinning-room where Leila was still painting, while Sara threw every pen she could grab on the floor.

"Sara, I told you to stop this. Your sister wants to paint. Pick them up, now!" Lorelai said and stood the girl on the floor. But then Sara saw Emily.

"´ma!" she yelled and ran to her grandmother and looked up to her with a huge smile. Emily couldn't help but smile as well and picked Sara up.

"So, I see you're making trouble again, young lady. You better do what your mother told you!". She placed her back on the ground.

"´ma paint!" Laila smiled and held out a pen for Emily. Emily sat down next to her granddaughter and took the pen.

"´ma paint Sara!" Sara said and wanted to walk over to Emily, but Lorelai stopped her.

"Sara, the pens. They are still on the floor and I told you to pick them up!"

"Noooo! Paint!" Sara said and wanted to pass Lorelai.

"Sara!" Lorelai said, this time in an annoyed tone.

"Muuummyyy!" Sara screamed and stamped with her foot on the floor.

"There is no way to argue with me Missy. Pick up these pens!" Lorelai said, a little bit louder this time.

Still angry Sara picked up some pens, then threw them in her mothers direction. They hit the floor in front of Lorelai.

"That's it! You're going up to your room. I think you lost your mind!" Lorelai said upset, while she picked up Sara, who started kicking and screaming immediately, hit Lorelai in the face several times while she carried her upstairs and placed her in her bed. There she could not get out by herself.

"I'm going to pick you up when you're acting normal again!" Lorelai said to Sara, closed the door and walked back downstairs.

Emily sat at the table still painting with Laila, but with a small grin on her face.

"You think that's funny? I think you're humor can't get stranger anymore!" Lorelai said and plopped down on a chair.

"Well, I just think that it's funny that you are having the same problems that I had this morning. And the morning before. And before"

"I know that Sara freaks out sometimes" Lorelai said and looked down on the floor.

"Sometimes? Lorelai, seriously. You know I adore my grandchildren. All of them. I love that I have the opportunity to look after them 5 days a week. But I have to tell you that they are three terrors. William and Sara especially. They scream, they bite, they kick and throw things after you whenever they are not getting what they want. When your father is with me I can handle it, but this morning I was alone and I think I just lost my nerves. I know I was too harsh and I know that was no way to talk to her, but I was as furious as she was."

"Mum, she spilled orange-juice!"

"She did not spill it, Lorelai. She emptied it over her dress. And this wasn't the first time. She does this every time she doesn't get the drink she wanted. Yesterday it was coke, this morning she wanted coffee. I redressed her nearly everyday for the last three weeks. And before you say something: The other two are just the same. William threw his cassette-recorder into the door upstairs. This is where that whole comes from. He ruined two of your fathers books because he ripped out the pages when he wasn't allowed to watch TV. And while Laila isn't as aggressive as her siblings, she just refuses everything and just doesn't react anymore when not everything is going the way she wants it."

"Mum, I know that they don't always behave like they should. But they are still so small."

"Lorelai, William is three years old. He should know that it's not okay to throw things around!"

"Yes, mother you are right. I know that. But sometimes I don't have the power to argue with them when I come home. Luke comes home very late most of the days and I can't argue with all three at the same moment."

"You don't have to tell me that. I watch them every time all together. And when your father isn't there, it's really hard. Lorelai you need to talk with Luke. This isn't working anymore. These kids need rules and consequence. I know that we never agreed on how to raise a kid and you did a great job with Rory. But this is different. You have three little children now and they need to be told what's wrong and what's right. And it's not helping when Luke just gives in every time, because he can't stand it when they are crying or pouting."

Lorelai sighed. " I know mum. I know all of that. And surprisingly enough, we are on the same page this time. I will talk with Luke."

"Well, it's good to know that you agree. Tell Luke that I'm sorry for the way I treated Sara this morning. I have to go now. I called your father after I left here and told him I would meet him at home for lunch. Call me and tell me what you decided! Bye Lorelai!" Emily said and stood up.

"Bye young lady!" she said and stroked over Laila's hair.

"Bye mum. I will call you. And thanks again!"

"You're welcome!" With that Emily left.

"And what are we doing now, babe?" Lorelai asked Laila.

"Wet, mummy!" Laila said and stood up and held her arms out into her mothers direction.

"Then let's change your diaper. See, another thing we need to work on. You have to learn to use the toilet. Like a big girl!" she stroked through Laila's dark blond curls with one hand.Her hairhad the same color as Lukes. And she hadhis water-blue eyes with the endless eyelashes.

"Princess, where is this thingy I put in your hair this morning?" she asked her daughter.

"Daddy" Laila just said.

"So, so, your daddy again. We really need to talk to him about that. Everyday he ruins your hair!"

She opened the door of the twin's room and saw that Sara was now sitting in her bed, crying and sobbing.

"Muuuumy!" she cried and Lorelai felt bad because she had put her daughter in the bed. She placed Laila on the changing table and then took Sara out of her bed and hugged her.

"It's all right my baby. Mummy is here. I'm sooo sorry, darling! It's all right!" Sara calmed down, still hiccupping sometimes.

"Do you also need a new diaper?" Lorelai asked, wiped her tears away and kissed her.

Sara hugged her mother and placed her head on her shoulder. Then she sighed.

"Poor baby. Do you have such a mean mother! I think we also need to change you, huh?"

She sat Sara on the dressing table next to where her sister was lying. She changed Laila's diaper first, then Sara's.

"I think it's time for a little nap, my babies. Sara you can barely keep your eyes open!" She lay both of them in their beds and kissed them, then darkened the room a bit with the shutters and turned on the baby monitor. Both of her daughters were exhausted and asleep in no time.

Lorelai took a deep breath when she closed the door and walked downstairs. She cleaned up the chaos from the dinning room table and picked up the pens which were still lying everywhere in the room. ´We really need to do something, she thought while she wiped the sticky juice off the floor.

She had just finished when she heard Williams voice from the living room.

"Daddy! Daddy!" he cried.

"Hey, honey. Daddy is in the diner, but I'm here. Does your knee hurt?" she asked and sat down beside him.

"Yes. It hurts, mummy." he sniffed

"My poor boy. Should I blow on it?" William nodded, tears still running down his cheeks.

"Come here, my baby."

"I'm not a baby! Laila and Sara are babies!" he protested.

She sat him in her lap and blew on his knee, then scooped him up a bit, so that his head was on her shoulder and his legs on both sides of her body. She rubbed his back with one hand and held him close with the other.

"No, you're not a baby anymore, you're right. Daddy said you were so brave at the hospital that they gave you a lollipop!" she whispered into his ear, what tickled him and caused him to laugh.

"I don't like lollipops!" he said, nearly offended.

"I know, I know. You're your fathers child!" she laughed and kissed his forehead.

"We didn't finish the story of the little rabbit the last time. Should we read it now? What do you think?" she asked him after some minutes.

"Mummy, you have time?" William asked with huge eyes. Lorelai was shocked that William asked a question like this. But he was right. In general she didn't have the time. She swallowed hard before she could answer him.

"Yeah, I took the day off to be with you. Mummy will be with you the whole day."

"I like the rabbit" William smiled, his knee forgotten.

"I'm back" Luke said seconds later and entered the living room.

"Hey. Good. I will read with him, but we need to talk later." Lorelai said and took the book from the living-room table.

" Uh, okay!" Luke said, unsure of what to expect.

"Daddy, read rabbit!" William said.

"Oh, I'm really allowed to read with you! I feel honored!" Luke smiled and walked to the couch. Lorelai stood up with William for a second, while Luke lay down on the couch. She then lay down with her legs between his legs and her back against his chest. William lay on top of her.

Luke still wasn't sure if Lorelai was angry with him or if maybe Emily had said something. Maybe Lorelai was angry with him now.

But them he felt that she laced her fingers through his and gave his hand a squeeze, while William pointed to the pictures in the book and Lorelai read the story of the little rabbit who always wanted to be alone.
