Ha! hehe I'm determined to live up to my promise of updating before the 15th. My lack of school, due to a flood today is the perfect opportunity to do so. I hope ya'll liked the last chapter, and here's the next! hehe
"What do you want Lorelai?" Emily asked, trying to mask how hurt she was that her only daughter, he only child had not bothered to make any contact with her in over 5 years.
"I um.." Lorelai paused, what did she want? "I wanted to talk to you."
"I'm sorry, I'm very busy right now, you're going to have to call back later."
"Mom! Please, listen to me I just--"
"No Lorelai! You listen to me. If you want to speak to me, then do it in the proper fashion. You don't just call somebody out of the blue after five years and expect to be greeted with a polite conversation. If anything, you come to a person's house, and speak to them in person. I may not have been in your life the past few years, but I do know that I have taught you manners, and they are not forgotten that easily. Now, if you would like to talk to me, you can come to my house and talk to me in person, but right now I'm busy. Good bye Lorelai" Emily said, not giving Lorelai a chance to answer before hanging up the phone. Lorelai hung up the phone as well, shocked and confused.
"I'm ready!" Rory said, coming out from her room, cheerfully. Lorelai looked down at Rory and smiled.
"Lets go then." She said grabbing her coat, and they both walked to Luke's.
"Hey, how's the new house?" Luke asked, as they both walked into the diner.
"Amazing."
"Good, what do you want today? Whatever it is will be on the house."
"In that case" Lorelai said, before ordering her usual massive amounts of food. "So, Rory, how do you feel about going to see Grandma today?"
"Grandma?" Rory asked confused. Rory had little to no memory of her grandmother, since she hadn't seen her in many years. "Why are we going to see grandma?"
"I just thought it would be nice, for you to get to see her." Lorelai lied.
"Okay" Rory said, quite ecstatically. Rory had always wanted to meet, and talk to her grandmother, but never mentioned it.
"Good, when we're done eating we'll go home and change." Lorelai told Rory, and she accepted this. When Rory and Lorelai were done eating, that's exactly what they did. Lorelai changed out of sweatpants and oversized shirt, and into a long black skirt, a little more acceptable to go and see her mother. She helped Rory into her Toyota; this was long before Lorelai's Jeep days, and road off.
"I'm pretty sure it's this turn." Lorelai was thinking aloud. It had been years since she had even been near her mother house. The last time was when she ran into her father at Joey's Cafe. "Can you hand me that map, Rory?" Rory handed it to her, and as Lorelai made the turn she thought she needed to and pulled off to the side of the road to check. When she reassured herself, she was back on the road.
Not long after, Lorelai and Rory pulled up to the big mansion Lorelai had grown up in. Lorelai stopped her car and turned off the engine, and then let out a big sigh. Rory looked up at the house, smiling in amazement. "Can we go in?" Rory asked, excitedly.
"That's what we're here for." Lorelai told her. They both got out of the car and walked up to the front door, ringing the doorbell.
"Hello, may I help you?" A short blond woman, with a German accent said as she answered the door.
"Hi, I'm Lorelai Gilmore, and this is my daughter, Rory. Is Mrs. Gilmore home?"
"Oh yes, come in" The woman said sweetly. "May I take your jacket?" She said, as Lorelai handed both hers and Rory's jacket over. "They're in the living room, right this way." She explained to Lorelai before turning her attention to Emily. "There's someone here to see you." She informed Emily. Emily looked up to see her daughter standing in the doorway.
"Well, this is a surprise." Emily said, pretending as though it actually were.
"I called you earlier, mom." Lorelai said in her defense.
"I know you called; I just didn't expect to see you. I would have had Brunhilda prepare something for you."
"Oh well, that's okay mom."
"Well, sit down you two. I'm sorry your father couldn't be here, he's at work. If I knew you were coming, perhaps he could have been here."
"Oh well, that's okay, we'll catch him another time." Lorelai told her, as she and Rory took a seat.
"Yes, another time." She said, catching a glimpse of Rory for the first time since Lorelai had been there. Emily was, for one of the first times in her life, speechless. She knew Rory was older, and beautiful, but she couldn't have imagined how much older and just how beautiful. Rory's blue eyes were piercing, and intense. Emily could do nothing but stare. Lorelai was the first to break the silence.
"So mom," Lorelai said awkwardly, "Long time no see."
I hope you guys like this chapter. I have decided that the only way I will actually update this thing is if I put out a deadline, for all to see. So, my next deadline is to have chapter 8 up by October 22. Like always, please review.
