Lorelai Gilmore-Danes sat in her living room she checked her watch for what seemed like the tenth time that evening. It was 2:03 in the morning, and her 15-year-old daughter, Kady, was still not home. "Where the hell are you, Kady?" Lorelai asked to no one. Her question was quickly answered when a car engine erupted the silence of the night, a few minutes later a drunken Kady walked through the door.

Lorelai met her daughter at the door and realized immediately that she was drunk. "Where the hell have you've been?" Lorelai questioned, but Kady just broke out in laughter. Kady, trying to walk to her bedroom, tripped, but Lorelai caught her.

"I was at a party." Kady told her mother, her words were slurred. "I'm so, so sorry mom." Kady broke down into tears.

Lorelai began dragging her daughter into her bedroom, but before they had made it there, Aiden appeared on the stairs. "What's going on?" the twelve year old was still half asleep.

"Nothing, Aid, just go back to bed." Lorelai told her son, as her daughter threw up all over her pajamas. Aiden laughed and headed back upstairs. "Yeah, really funny," Lorelai yelled after him. Kady, who was still crying, mumbled another "I'm sorry," as Lorelai pulled her into the bathroom. Kady immediately threw up again, this time in the toilet.

An hour later Lorelai, in clean pajamas, climbed back into bed next to Luke. Luke was still sound asleep and hadn't noticed a thing. What am I going to do about that girl? Lorelai thought. Rory had never acted up like Kady, but as Kady commonly pointed out she was not Rory. Kady reminded her Lorelai so much of herself at her age. She was wild and unpredictable, the total opposite of Rory at that age. Lorelai loved Kady and Aiden, but she still missed Rory. She missed Rory so much, but she would not condone the fact that Rory had dropped out of Yale.

Lorelai checked the clock this worries would have to wait until tomorrow, it was almost 3:30 and she needed to get to sleep.

"Good morning, sunshine." Lorelai yelled as she entered Kady's bedroom. Kady emerged from her covers looking as though she had been through hell. "Do you have to scream?" she asked, her voice hoarse from throwing up only hours earlier.

"Oh, what do you have a hangover?" Lorelai asked sarcastically. Kady threw the covers over her head. "Here take these," Lorelai handed her two Advil, "Drink this," she placed a cup full of some weird concoction on the night table, "take a shower, get dressed, and meet me at the inn, by noon."

"Ughhhh, but mom, I don't feel well." Kady whined to her mother.

"Well, if you hadn't gotten drunk last night you would feel fine. Now I'll see you at the inn. Got me?" Kady knew that her mother's tone meant business so she did as she was told.

Lorelai left her house and headed to the diner. "Coffee please," Lorelai said as she reached the counter.

"You know that this is going…." Luke began, but was cut off.

"Yeah, I know you've been saying that for years, and I'm still alive. So be a good little boy and pour me some coffee, and if you do later," seeing Aiden coming from the kitchen, Lorelai leaned over and whispered something in Luke's ear. Luke with a grin from ear to ear poured Lorelai's coffee.

"Ewwwww, you know people are eating here don't you?" Aiden asked, realizing that his mother must had said something related with sex.

"What, I whispered it?" Lorelai laughed and kissed her son on the cheek.

"So mom, how'd you liked getting puked on by Kady last night?" Aiden asked, while Lorelai tried shook her head trying to tell him not to say anything in front of Luke, but Aiden didn't get the message until it was too late. "Ooops," he said, "I've gotta go to baseball practice, see ya later." He said making a quick exit.

"Bye honey," Lorelai waved her son out, only to turn around and face an angry and upset Luke.

"Why did Kady throw up on you last night?" he asked. "Well, she um, she was drunk." Lorelai told him. It wasn't that she wasn't going to tell Luke about Kady, it was just that she wanted to talk to Kady first. Luke had a tendency to overreact with things about Kady, and Lorelai was more understanding.

"And you weren't going to tell me?" Luke was getting angrier. "No, no, of course not. I was going to tell you after I spoke with her. It's just that you," Lorelai didn't want to upset Luke anymore so she knew that she had to say this carefully, "you tend to overeact."

"I do not," Luke said. "Luke, remember when you tried grounding her cause you caught her kissing that boy?" Lorelai asked. Luke didn't know what to say, he had done that, but just because he didn't like that boy and she was twelve.

Lorelai, seeing that she had hurt her husband's feeling put her arms around her shoulders. "Look, Luke you are a great father, its just that because Kady is your first daughter, well besides Rory, you are kind of inclined to act like that. I just wanted all the facts before I told you, that's all." She kissed him.

"Yeah, I do freak out, I guess." Luke admitted, "but its just cause I love her and I worry about her."

"I know," Lorelai smiled. "Alright well, I've got to get to the inn, Kady's meeting me at inn."

"Okay, well I'm going to go watch Aiden's game tonight and then we'll be home, probably around 6 or so." Luke told her. "Bye."

At 12:45, Kady showed up at the inn. Lorelai, who was already angry that her fifteen year old had come home 3 hours past curfew and drunk, was now even angrier. "You're late," Lorelai said as Kady walked up to the front desk.

"Only by like ten minutes," Kady said in a pissed off tone.

"Try forty-five, and watch your tone." Lorelai turned and walked into her office, and Kady followed.

They sat in silence for a few moments before Lorelai spoke, "So, what I know is that you left the house at six saying that your were going to a movie, and that you'd be home by eleven, and the next thing I knew it was two in the morning and you were drunk. Wanna fill in the blanks?" Lorelai's tone was casual, she wanted to talk to Kady, not fight with her. From her own adolescence Lorelai knew that yelling would not solve anything.

Kady stared at her hands, "Iwenttoaparty," she blurted out.

"Kady, do you know how worried I was? I called all your friends, I called your cell like two hundred times. I was just about to call the police when you walked through the door." Lorelai was quiet, allowing her daughter to soak this in.

"I know, I'm sorry, I just I don't know. I wasn't going to go, but then, I don't know." Kady said quietly, "I'm really sorry."

Lorelai realized that her daughter was genuinely sorry for scaring her mother half to death. "Look I understand that you are going to drink, and party, probably a lot more than I even want to think about, but I want you to always be responsible. That means no drinking and driving, coming home on time, and I know this is going to sound weird, but I would like for you to tell me when you are going to be drinking."

Kady looked at her mother as if she was crazy. "Are you serious? You want to tell me when I am gonna be drinking?" Kady asked.

"I know it's not very ordinary for a daughter to tell her mother that she's going to drink, but I would feel safer if I knew, and if you ever are any where and you have no way home, you call me. Do not ever drink or drive, do you understand me? I will come and get you know matter what, alright?"

Kady nodded, but was still a little confused. "So if I tell you that I'm going to be drinking, I won't get grounded?" Kady asked.

Lorelai needed to answer this question carefully, "As long as you are being responsible, no you won't be grounded, but that doesn't mean you can get wasted every night of the week. I just understand that you are going to want to go to the occasional party."

"Cool," Kady nodded, "so, um am I grounded, this time?"

Lorelai smiled, "Yes, unfortunately you are. Your father and I will talk to you about it after dinner."

"Did you tell dad yet?"

"Yea, he knows," noticing Kady's face Lorelai added, "but we also talked about how he tends to overreact, so don't worry too much."

"Well I have work to do and so do you." Lorelai stood up to leave.

"Thanks mom," Kady said. And the two of them walked out of the office.

It was almost six and Lorelai was in her bedroom waiting for her husband and son to come home, when there was a knock at the door. "Kady, can you get that it must be the Chinese." Lorelai yelled downstairs. Kady came out of her bedroom, and opened the door. But the person on the other side was not the Chinese deliveryman. "Hi," Kady said in surprise. Lorelai, even more surprised stood behind her.
