Meet the family
Lorelai opened the door and they walked into the livingroom.
The room was big, there was a door opening that led into another pert of the room.
The part oft he room that Rory was in, was nice but a bit 'clean' and unpersonal. The walls was painted in a warm red color and the curtens was also a shade of red.
The windows was huge and over looked a beautiful garden, there was also a door that led out to the patio.
There was couts and some chairs ans a coffee tabel in the room. The couts and chairs was also in red colors.
There was a piano next to the door that Rory and Lorelai walked though. On the piano was some pictures, one of them showed Lorelai and two children, that Rory asumed was a younger version of charlie and Hannah, there was also a man that Rory didn't recognize. The man looked to be about Lorelai's age, he was tall, he was wearing a fannel shirt and a blue baseballcap, he had brown beard, so Rory asumed that he also had brown hair.
"Rory?" no reaction
"RORY!" Lorelai said it a little louder this time.
"Wha... What?" Rory looked to her left were Lorelai had been when they walked in to the room. But Lorelai wasn't standing next to Rory anymore. She was now standing over by the door opening.
"You kinda spaced out. Are you coming?"
"Coming were?"
"Over here, so you can meet the family"
"Oh, right" Rory walked over to Lorelai, she could feel a blush creep on to her creeks.
When they walked into the 'second' part of the livingroom, Rory was just as stunned as before.
This room was painted in a red-brownish color, there was a fire place, and on top it was some more pictures.
But what cut Rorys attenson as soon as she walked in, was a giant painting on the wall. It was a painting of Charlie and Hannah. They looked happy. It made Rorys stomach turn. She missed out on that. She was an only child, maybe not biological, but she was rasied as an only child.
She was bought out of her tanse, when Lorelai began to speak. Rory turned her head and saw the guy version of her self.
Charlie was just as tall as her; he also had the some eyes as her self and Lorelai. His hair was the same sbrown as hers, it was about 2 inchs long and it looked like he ran is hans though it alot.
Rory could see that he was well build, he lokked athelic. He was wearing a pair of dark khaki shorts and a white t-shirt. Rory thought that he looked a little pale, but then again she was used to California boys.
Netx to Charlie, stood a girl, how Rory asumed was Hannah.
She was a little shorter than Charlie and Rory, she had black curly hair and she had brown eyes.
Hannah was wearing a pink mini skirt and a white tank top, that read 'I'm hot' she was smiling. It wasn't a normal friendly smile, it was a I'm-over-hipperly-cheery-and-happy kinda smile. Rory tgought it was a bit creepy.
There was also three other people in the room. Two of them was older and looked rich, Rory didn't regonice. The thrid person, was the man from the picture. He on the other hand didn't look rich at all. He was wearing a fannel shirt, jeans and the same baseballcap.
"You guys, this is Rory" Lorelai introduced her, then she stated to introduce the others.
"Rory, this is Charlie, Hannah, your grandparents, Richars and Emily" she pointed to them as she said their names, but when she came to the man in the fannel shirt, she walked over and put her arms around his waist, "And this is Luke Danes, my fiancee" Lorelais smile widened.
"Uhh... Hi" God Rory was nerves and wasn't getting better 'GOD, when did I become a monkey in the zoo? Like I wasn't nerves enough meeting Lorelai, Charlie and Hannah? But the intre family? And when did Lorelai get engaged? Surely dad would have told me if he knew. Maybe Charlie and Hannah asked him not to say anything, so Lorelai could tell me her self. Yeah that must be it.' She was awakened from her daze, when Emily started to talk.
"Well, dodn't just stand there. Come sit, tell us about your self!"
Rory did as told and took a seat in one of the comfy armchairs, Richard sat in the other armchair, while Charlie and Hannah took one and Luke and Lorelai took the other.
"So, Rory are you excited to be here? I know I'm tatally excited about you being here. OMG, you so have to meet my friend. You can come to the game tomorrow and meet them, and you should also come to the afterparty. It's at Louise's and it's going to be SOO must fun" Hannah started to rambel excitedly, Rory just looked horrifyed. Lorelai noticed and said:
"Sweety, maybe we should let Rory get settlet, before we make any plans"
"Oh, right sorry, I'm just excited"
"That's okay" Rory said, she gave Hannah a weak smile to show that it was okay.
"So Rory dear, how is it ti live in California?"
Rory had to fight the urge to rool her eyes. Great emily was a real 'sociaty lady'.
'I'm going to kill Jess. "You have to get to know your mother'- my ass' she thought.
Rory could see that Emily was from money the second she walked into the room. It was the way the elderly Gilmore dress and walked that said it all.
But Rorys other grandmother, Francine also looked like she was from money, but she was relaxed and cool around Rory and Christopher.
"it's great. I love living there!" Rory tried her best to be as polite as she could
"How are you doing in school" Richard asked
"I'm doing okay. I'm in the top 4 procent" she ansarwed politly
"That's better than okay young lady, that's tarific. You are being humbel" Richard said, while smiling. This made him very happy, maybe the Gilmore linie didn't end with him after all.
An akward silenc came over the room. None of them knew what to say. It was Charlie that spoke up first
"How's dad?"
"He's great. Didn't you talk to him?"
"Yeah, he called Wednesday night"
"Unforunaly I missed that call. I had cheerleader paktic" Hannah timed in
That made Rory a little angry, she knew how important those calls was to her dad. It was the only kontact that he had with Charlie and Hannah, when he was in California, of course he also spent time with them when ever he was in Hartford, but that wasn't must becaise he tried he's best to hold his business trips at a minimum.
And Rory had seen how sad her dad had been when he couldn't talk to Hannah. And it was Hannahs foult, she knew that Chris was going to call, because he always called Wednesday night.
"Yeah, weel you can talk to him, when he calls next time" Rory snapped, she gave Lorelai a not so dicreet glare.
After that coment nobody said anything, thay all knew what Rory had meant.
Rory was feeling more and more akward, and she really need to talk to her dad and yell at Jess.
Ske knew that her little coment had hurt Lorelai, but she just couldn't hepl it.
After 10 minuts Rory diced to beak the tension.
"I'm really sorry, but I'm a little tired. Could someone show me were I'll be staying, so I can get some sleep?"
"Of curse dear. We'll just see you later."
With that Richard and Emily said their goodbyes and left.
"Come on, I'll show you, your room"
Charlie stood up and led Rory uot of the livingroom. He took her back to the hall and up the stairs. They walked to the 3 floor. Charlie stopped and opened a door and walked in.
Rory followed him into the room.
It was big, really really big. The roomwas made in light pink colors, in one end of the room was a king size bed. In the other end was a tv and some couts. There was a anque desk, some bookcases and a CD player.
Charlie showed her, the walk in closet and the master bath room, that was connected to the room.
After the 'tour' of the room, Charlie and Rory was standing in an very uncomfterbel silenc.
They looked at each other and suttenly Rory started to laugh. Charlie looked at her like she was an alien or something, but after a minut or two he also started to laugh.
After 15 minuts, their laughfter died down and turned into giggling.
Charlie looked over at Rory and asked
"why did you start laoughing?" at this Rory's giggling increased and she started to laugh again. After a couple of minuts she answared
"I just... the situation is just funny, you know. We are family, we are twins and yet we have nothing to say to each other" rory started to laugh angain, as did Charlie.
After they stopped laughing, Rory went over to her bags and started to unpack. Charlie stayed and helped her.
When they were finished, Rory put her Macy Gray CD on and they sat down her one of the couts.
"So Charlie, tell me about your self"
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything, how are you in school? How are your friend? What do you like to do out side of school? What are your favourite movie? Favourite band? Stuff like that"
"Okay. I'm okay in school, I'm not top 4 procent but I'm fiarly good. My friends are all popular and nice. I'm on the basketball tema, whice I know is weird because I'm not that tall, but I'm still good at it. My favourite movie is Bad Boys II, favourite band is Metalica."
"Sounds good, except for the movie, but we'll get back to that. Now for the most imprtant question: Do you like the elixir of life?"
Charlie laughed a little at this, but answared
"Yes, I like coffe. What is wrong with my favourite movie?"
"Everything. It's just a bad movie"
"No, it's not"
Yes, it is"
"no"
"yes"
"I give up" Charlie threw his hands up in defeat
"Ha, I knew it." Rory started to dance her happy dance
"Okay, well I'm sure you want to call dad, so I'll just leave"
"Thanks Charlie" Rory smiled at her bother as he walked out. Then she walked over to gab the phone, she sat on the bed and dialed the number.
