I know it's been eternity since I updated and I can't promise you that I will update sooner but I'll tryto. There's just been a lot of stuff going on and I haven't had time to finish this chapter but I finally have so yea for me! So I'm eating and typing and considering I'm using my sister's computer without her knowledge I probably shouldn't be eating but that's how much I love my reviewers.
OUTSIDE THE GILMORE MANSION
"I remember a day when I didn't have the 100 pound baby carrier and the car seats that fight back" Lorelai said.
"You're not the one with a one year old sleeping on your shoulder" Rory said.
Lorelai rung the doorbell and a maid opened the door.
"We're here to see Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore" Lorelai said.
"Come in" the maid said.
They stepped inside and the maid took their coats. They walked into the living room where Emily and Richard were sitting.
"Girls, you're here" Emily said. "We were beginning to wonder if you were coming"
"Sorry about that" Lorelai said sitting down. "Izzy started to get fussy when I tried to put her dress on so it took a little longer than normal"
"Where's Luke?" Emily asked.
"He had to work, it got really busy today" Lorelai lied. "He says he's sorry he couldn't make it"
"Well, work is very important" Richard said.
Lorelai unbuckled Emma's carrier.
"There you go little girl" Lorelai said. "Rory, give your arms a break, let me take Izzy"
Rory handed the sleeping Izzy over to Lorelai.
"Can I get anyone a drink?" Richard asked getting up.
"I'll just have a soda" Rory said.
"Make that two" Lorelai said. "I don't really want to drink too much with the girls in the car"
Richard handed the girls their drinks and sat back down.
"Rory how's school?" Richard asked.
"It's great" Rory said.
It was quiet for a couple seconds.
"How's work?" Lorelai asked.
"It's going quite well actually" Richard said. "I gained a major client that I've been working on for months"
"That's great" Lorelai said.
"And the inn?" Emily asked.
"It's fine" Lorelai said.
"I recommended it to some people at one of our parties" Emily said.
"Wait…you did?" Lorelai asked. "Who exactly?"
"Just Jonathan and Dianne" Emily said.
"By any chance they wouldn't be friends with Christopher's parents, would they?" Lorelai asked.
"Strobe and Francine?" Emily asked. "Why?"
"They're staying at the inn" Lorelai said.
"What!" Emily exclaimed. "You didn't tell us?"
"It's not that big of a deal" Lorelai said.
"You weren't rude to them, were you?" Emily asked. "You didn't tell them one of your jokes that no one gets?"
"Excuse me" Lorelai said. "I was perfectly nice"
"Good" Emily said.
"You know Emily, we haven't sat down with them in a while" Richard said. "We should have dinner, all of us"
"That's a wonderful idea" Emily said. "Things haven't quite been the same since…well you know"
"Lorelai, you should hold dinner at the inn" Richard said. "It would be a lovely chance for Rory to meet her other grandparents"
Izzy started to stir and the maid came into the living room.
"Dinner's ready" the maid said.
"Did you get the height chair for Isabel?" Emily asked the maid.
"Yes ma'am" the maid said.
"Very well" Emily said. "We'll move our conversation to the dining room"
Everyone moved into the dining room and started to eat.
"We'll have to check our calendar but Sunday works for us I think" Emily said.
"For what?" Lorelai asked.
"For the dinner, with Strobe and Francine" Emily said. "Honestly Lorelai, sometimes I wonder if you ever listen to me"
"I have years of lectures stored into my head, believe me I listen to you" Lorelai said.
"You could have fooled me" Emily said. "Every time…."
"This is really good Grandma, what is it?" Rory asked, interrupting.
"Its lamb, you've had it before" Emily said.
"Well it tastes great" Rory said.
"Thank you" Emily said.
Everyone went back to eating. Lorelai mouthed thank you to Rory. Lorelai saw Izzy bump some of her food and it fell to the floor. Izzy started to cry.
"Oh crap" Lorelai said getting up.
"Marie, there's food on the floor" Emily said. "Hurry in here and clean it up before it stains"
"I'm really sorry Mom" Lorelai said trying to clean up the food. "I should have been watching her more carefully"
"Stand up, Lorelai, we have a maid to clean that up" Emily said.
Lorelai stood up.
"It's okay Izzy girl" Lorelai said. "I know you didn't mean to"
She took her out of the height chair.
"Careful, don't get baby food on your dress" Emily said.
"I should go clean her up" Lorelai said. "I'll be back in a second"
She took Izzy out of the room and there was an awkward silence as the maid cleaned up the food.

GILMORE-DANES HOUSE (AN HOUR LATER)
"We're home" Lorelai said.
Luke came into the living room and took the carrier from Lorelai.
"Hey Emma" Luke said.
"I see, you love when I'm carrying your child but once they're born I'm ignored" Lorelai said, feigning hurt.
Luke kissed Lorelai passionately. Rory covered her eyes.
"I'm going to my room and I'm taking Emma and Izzy" Rory said.
She picked up Emma's carrier and went into her room. Lorelai and Luke laughed.
"Was that good enough of a hello for you?" Luke asked.
Lorelai pretended to think it over for a second.
"Well…I guess" Lorelai said. "How was your evening at home?"
"Just great" Luke said sarcastically.
"Aw, what happened?" Lorelai said.
"Just Jess being his usual self" Luke said.
"Have you tried talking to him?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah, it resulted in a lot of sarcastic comments" Luke said. "How'd dinner go?"
"Well, we have to have dinner with Strobe and Francine and Izzy spilled her food all over the dining room carpet, so it went great" Lorelai said.
"We're your parents upset?" Luke asked.
"Surprisingly, no" Lorelai said. "But now we have to buy another dress for Izzy because the stain is impossible to get off"
"Great, and what's this about a dinner with Christopher's parents?" Luke asked.
"My parents haven't seen them forever and it'd be a great thing for Rory to meet her other grandparent's" Lorelai quoted. "There's a reason why Rory never met her other grandparents"
"Why?" Luke asked.
"They never wanted to meet her" Lorelai said quietly, hoping Rory wouldn't hear her. "I offered probably about a thousand times through Rory growing up and every time they said no"
"Well anyone who wouldn't want to meet Rory is an idiot" Luke said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In Rory's room she had heard the whole thing. At first she was hurt but after hearing want Luke said it didn't seem to matter anymore. She sat on her floor with her two sisters and played with Izzy's hair. Someone knocked on her door and she looked up and saw Jess.
"What do you want?" Rory asked.
Ever since her first encounter with Jess she hadn't liked him.
"Just returning a book I was reading" Jess said.
"You were reading one of my books?" Rory asked.
"I was bored" Jess said. "Don't get any ideas that I have some soft side to me because I don't'"
"No, I was just surprised" Rory said. "Most people don't like to read my books, that's all"
It was quiet.
"Why are you so mean all the time?" Rory asked.
"If you think I'm going to pour out some sob story to you you're wrong" Jess said.
"Really, so you're just a jerk" Rory said. "Now I get it"
"Why should I be nice?" Jess asked. "Luke and Lorelai didn't even want me here in the first place. My mom shipped me here before they could say no"
"That was only because it was when Emma first came home" Rory said. "They were stressed out"
"Really, well you guys enjoy your perfect little family life know but don't expect me to stay around. As soon as I can I'm out of here and on my own" Jess said.
"I know what it's like when someone doesn't want you" Rory said.
"Oh do you" Jess said. "You could have fooled me"
"Before Luke came around I didn't have a dad" Rory said. "My dad didn't want to see me and now today I just found out that my other grandparents have avoided seeing me all of my life because they were ashamed. And sometimes I can't help but feel jealous of Izzy and Emma because they're going to get a mom and a dad and even though they only have one set of grandparents it's because the other set can't see them… not because they didn't want to. So stop wallowing in your self pity because you think no one cares about you because Luke does"
Jess stared at Rory for a second.
"The book was good" Jess said.
He walked out of the room.
