"We'll it was nice to have met you both, despite the circumstances." The lawyers said as they prepared to leave. "We'll have the check sent to you care of your mother, registered delivery."

"Thank you." Rory shook they're hands.

"We'll see ourselves out."

"So kid you're rich." Lorelai commented.

"He blamed the fact that I was born on Dad not going to Princeton, and you're right he only saw me a couple of times why would he do something like this?"

"You're his granddaughter." Lorelai shrugged. "What are you going to do with money?"

"Not worry about buying baby things, paying my health insurance, books for school."

"You're grandparents are still going to pay for Yale." Lorelai reminded her.

"I know. Help Jess buy a car."

"Help?" Lorelai questioned.

"He's a guy; they have that whole annoying pride thing."

"True. College funds are a good idea." Lorelai pointed out.

"I know, I think I've got that covered before this."

"How?"

"Trust fund." Rory replied. "That should cover a big chunk of it."

"I forgot about that." Lorelai admitted. "You could buy some shelves."

"Umm." Rory paused. "Do you have their address?"

"Straub and Francine?" Lorelai questioned. Rory nodded. "Yes." She pulled a small address book out of her purse. "Here." She flipped to the right page.

Rory copied it onto a piece of paper.

"What are you going to do?" Lorelai asked.

"Send flowers. I know it seems a little…."

"No I think it's a good idea." Lorelai patted her arm. "What about Christopher?"

"I'll send him flowers too but I'm not ready to talk to him yet."

"Do you need some money?" Lorelai offered.

"I think I'll be okay." Rory smiled. "And Mom."

"Yes hun?"

"Can you not tell Luke until after I've talked to Jess?"

"Where is he anyway?" Lorelai inquired.

"Luke sent him to pick something up I think."

"Rory?" Jess said having just arrived back when she left the dinner.

"Hey Jess."

"Are you okay?" He inquired he could tell something was up by the look on her face.

"I've just got to the florist."

"You don't have to buy me flowers." He teased; he didn't get the smile he was expecting. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine." Rory sighed. "Can you meet me at the bridge in fifteen – twenty minutes and I'll explain?"

"Sure." Jess agreed.

"Thanks." She gave him a kiss and then headed off in the direction of the florist.

"Here." Jess dumped the box Luke had sent him to collect on the counter when he entered the diner.

"Thanks Jess."

Lorelai had decided to stay for a cup of coffee before heading back to the Dragonfly.

"Is Rory okay? She seemed a little…" He searched for an appropriate word. "Off."

"She just had a little shock, she'll be fine." Lorelai replied.

"If you call two lawyers turning up to talk to her a shock." Luke muttered.

"Lawyers?" Jess questioned.

"She'll explain why they were here." Lorelai told him.

"She won't tell me why they were here." Luke pointed out.

"Because Rory asked me not to until she could explain it to Jess and I'm going to respect her wishes."

"She asked me to meet her at the bridge in fifteen minutes when she's done with the florist."

"Florist?" Luke questioned.

"She needed to send some flowers." Lorelai shrugged. "Can I get a doughnut?"

"I'm out of here." Jess stated.
