Old Partings and New Beginnings:Prologue

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the Huntzberger kids and Leah, Elijah, Benjamin, and Levi. Otherwise I'd be somewhere else.

Plot: Leah Gilmore: Daughter of Lorelai Gilmore-The reigning Lorelai recalls the events leading up to her birth and current age of 16 years and 8 months. Starts as and will become a future fic.

Gilmore…you have probably heard of the name in some way or another. Maybe by watching my older sister's, Rory, news program or reading her news articles or if your family is insured by my grandfather or if you have ever stayed at a little Inn in Stars Hollow Connecticut. My name is Leah Gilmore and at sixteen, I am almost an exact replica of my sister minus the blue eyes and the height. I am not too tall, just a little over 5 feet and I am petite all around. I love school and unlike Rory I love sports too. You almost never see me without a book, something I inherited from her.

The year is 2023 and a lot has changed since my mom's pregnancy and my birth. My mom actually married my dad this time. Daddy and Mom have been married for seventeen years, and this marriage has spawned four kids; myself being the oldest, followed by three boys. Levi is the next oldest at fourteen, then Elijah at twelve, and finally Benjamin at ten. It's great having all these brothers, mostly because they are so sweet and even though they are young, they are quite protective of their sisters.

But enough about my family, I'll tell you a little about Rory's. She has been married to the Logan Huntzberger, that's right the owner of a crap load of newspapers, for around fifteen years. This marriage has given them four kids, two girls and two boys. The twins are ten years old; their names are Noah and Hannah, they are followed by seven year old Matthew and three year old Grace. The Gilmore-Huntzbergers are an amazingly close family. Rory and Logan work from home as much as possible and try to spend a lot of time with the kids in their family and with my family.

By the way in case you are wondering about my family; here's the more in-depth version. My mom and Dad broke up twice before they finally got married. The wedding between Lorelai Victoria Gilmore and Lucas William Danes was and is still probably the biggest event of the century in Stars Hollow, seeing how it was years in the making. Even more outrageous are the events leading up to the wedding and the birth of all of us Gilmore-Danes kids. So here it comes, basically my whole life story. Okay, roll tape.
