"Lauren that's great!" Alexis almost yelled. She stopped herself though so at the end it was a whisper.
"Alexis! Shh."
"Oh I'm sorry."
Alexis spotted a mobile with pink, blue and purple stars on it. She went to pick it up and show it to Lauren.
"Alexis that's great!"
"Okay then. I'll go get us a cart we have shopping to do."
They shopped in the store for about 2 hours. Everything that they needed was in there. When they finally started to get tired they walked up to the cash register to check out.
Lauren saw how much it cost.
'Wow having a baby sure costs a lot' she thought.
"Here Lauren I'll pay for some."
"No Alexis."
"Yes Lauren I am paying for some."
"Alexis no." But as Lauren was saying that Alexis handed the money to the cashier. Lauren saw how much it was and saw that she had paid for over half.
"Alexis I owe you."
"No you don't. Now pay the cashier so we can go get ice cream."
After Lauren and Alexis finished paying for there things they had to bring the bags to the car because they had so many. After that they walked to the Dairy Queen in the mall. When they were at Dairy Queen a fan spotted them and went over to them.
"Umm... I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you were Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel?"
"Yes we are," Lauren replied. Alexis still wasn't used to people knowing who she was.
"Well may I please have your autograph if it's not to much of a problem?"
"Sure you can," Alexis replied.
Alexis and Lauren both sign the piece of paper that the girl gives them. After that the fan leaves.
"I know that I'm not supposed to say this but she is my favorite fan," Lauren said.
"Me, too. She was so nice. She was cool."
Lauren and Alexis look over to see what the girl was doing and saw that girl was being laughed at.
"Hey look at that," Alexis said.
"Wow! What are they laughing at her for? She obviously doesn't want them to laugh. She looks like she's going to cry. Maybe we should go see what's wrong. She was really nice to us."
"Ya that would be good."
Lauren and Alexis walk over to the girl.
"Hi. Are you okay," Lauren asked.
"Ya I'm ok," the girl said. But she didn't look okay.
"What's your name," Alexis asked.
"Emma."
"How old are you Emma," Lauren asked.
"I'm 9."
"Here Emma. Would you like some ice cream," Lauren asked.
"No it's fine. You've already been so nice. I don't want to be a hassle."
"No. We insist. We are getting you some ice cream," Alexis added.
Lauren held Emma's hand as they walked back to Dairy Queen. Alexis walked beside them not knowing if she should hold her hand to. Lauren motioned for her to hold her hand so she did. Emma just looked up to her and smiled.
When they got to the Dairy Queen Emma picked the cheapest thing on the list.
"Emma is that your favorite thing?"
"No. But I don't want to be a hassle."
"Emma just pick your favorite thing. It's on us."
"Thank you."
After they ordered Lauren and Alexis walked back to where they saw Emma and sat down at a table in the food court.
"Emma, where's your mom," Lauren asked.
"Ummm..." Emma said trying to remember.
Lauren and Alexis looked at each other with concern on their faces.
'What if she cant remember' Alexis said with her expression on her face to Lauren.
'I don't know' Lauren answered back.
"I-I think she's.." Emma said starting to cry.
