I told you if you were lucky you would get two chapters in one day!
Enjoy!
It was the second time she had seen her eldest daughter that day, usually that wouldn't be something to get excited about but considering she hadn't seen her in almost three years the shock made Lorelai's heart skip a beat.
"Rory" she hadn't moved since she had opened the door and hadn't even attempted to invite her in, she was still in shock.
"I didn't come to arguer, I just want to talk." Rory had made her own way into the house and was now standing next to the fire place.
"You're a Gilmore this will eventually end in an argument, but ok." Lorelai reluctantly sat down on the sofa opposire Rory.
"Where have you been, I tried looking for you after you left but realised that if u didn't want to be found I wasn't going to find you."
"New York, I got a job as a manager in a hotel."
"Why?" Lorelai didn't really understand the question but answered it any way.
"I needed money so I…."
"No….I mean why did you leave?"
"You mean you didn't figure it out? All that smarts and you cantcan't figure out why I left." Lorelai was starting to get angry but she tried her best to control her temper, for the mean time any way
"Well no…itsit's not like we were talking at the time…"
"That's why I left" there was a short pause while Lorelai waited for Rory's response, but all she received was stunned silence. "I left because you left me; I wanted to give you everything that I didn't have. A life, education, happiness and you threw it all away. Did you know I asked my Richard and Emily for help to keep you in school? Look what happened….you moved in with them and left me…..you had the life I never wanted you to have….I was alone, I needed you and you left. You didn't care enough I guess."
"What do you mean I didn't care and that I left you? You wouldn't listen to me you're the one that didn't care I needed you to listen to me….for once can't your life be about someone else?" the moment Rory had said it she wanted to take it back, she knew it wasnt true.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE…… you can't judge me for anything I have done. I only had your best interests at heart and look what you do any way…..go back to Yale. You ended up doing the one thing I wanted you to do in the first place. You just refused to listen to me and go the long way about it."
"Mommy?" the pair were so lost in their own conversation they didn't even notice Libby make the trip down stairs
The room had gone deadly silent and the only sound to be hareard was the slight creaking that Libby was making as she made the trip down the stairs towards her mother. Lorelai cast a quick but hesitant look over at Rory to see her gaping at the new presence in the room. Her attention was quickly turned back towards Libby and she moved to see if she was ok. "I'm sorry baby did we wake you up?"
Libby was now resting her head on Lorelai's shoulder as she gradually woke up. With the sudden realization that they weren't alone Libby's head shot up and her curiosity kicked in as to who the new person was staring blankly at her.
"Libby there's someone I would like you to meet" Lorelai slowly approached Rory who was still standing in shock by the fire place. "This is your big sister Rory." At the comment Libby's head shot around to look at Lorelai who slowly nodded her head to confirm what she had just said.
After Lorelai's comment had sunk in Rory began to breathe again. Libby was the first one to move as she stuck her arms out as if asking for a hug. At the sight of her two daughters hugging Lorelai found her self lost in emotions again.
Over come by her emotions she found tears running down her cheeks again fro the third time that day. At the sound of Lorelai quiet sobs Libby jumped out of Rory's arms and climbed her way into her mothers lap. Lorelai welcomed Libby's loving hug and sat back against the sofa so Libby could get more comfortable and hopefully fall asleep. It didn't take long until Libby was fast asleep being gently lulled by the movements of Lorelai's breathing with her own.
The room was quiet for a long time before Lorelai finally broke it. "Her name is Lorie Elisabeth Gilmore she's two years and four months old and her birthday is March 23rd and her family doesn't even know she exists." Lorelai was still watching the sleeping infant in her arms; she hadn't even seen that Rory had started to cry.
"Who is her dad?" at the question she looked dead into Rory's eyes and told her the truth. "Luke" Rory had guessed that it was Luke but she needed to hear it for herself.
"Is that why you left, because you and Luke split up and you found out you were pregnant?" Lorelai was slightly confused that she almost heard a hint of disappointment in Rory voice.
"Partly but not totally, Luke finished with me and I was completely broken, I needed my best friend and I was about to tell you when…. Do you remember when you told me about Yale I said I had something to tell you as well?" Rory slowly nodded her head remembering the day all to well. "Well it was the thing about Luke, but we got in a fight and well you know the rest. You have to understand that I had lost everything that meant something to me I was alone and no one even seemed to care." She had looked away from Rory as she had felt almost a wave of guilt wash over her when she knew she was to some extent lying to Rory.
She knew deep down that her mother wasn't telling her something but knew when she was ready she would, hopefully.
