DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gilmore girls though I did have this dream once where I was a multimillionaire …

"You have some nerve, coming back here with your 'boyfriend' have you any idea how much pain and suffering Chris and Gigi have gone through?" Lorelai glared at Sherry's blank face. "No, well your daughter is now three and struggling with life without a mother, her dad has to work extremely long hours to look after her and barely ever gets to spend any time with her and when he does is struggling to cope, and he has no social life. Are you happy?" Lorelai didn't wait for her reply, she turned around, disgusted, and walked off.

Rory was sitting in the pool house wishing she were at Yale. She had nothing to do – except community service - but when that was over then what? She visited Lane a lot but it was awkward and unusual.

"Rory, there is a young fellow looking for you by the name of Marty," Emily's eyes twinkled as she spoke.

"Grandma, he's just a friend," Rory laughed.

"If you say so, dear, he's in the living area waiting for you," Emily was pleased that 'Logan' had gone, frankly she didn't care who replaced him - as long as he was decent of course.

"Marty, what are you doing here – I am glad you came, you would not believe how bored I am!" Rory exclaimed.

"Rory, I … I love you," He replied.

Rory was shocked by the magnets of her lips which drew herself closer and closer to Marty's. Suddenly there was a scream from the kitchen … Rory broke herself away from her confused thoughts and ran down the hallway to find Emily on the kitchen floor …

"Lorelai talk to me," Suki pleaded, "Tell me what is wrong,"

"It … it's just that Chris has worked so hard to bring up Gigi and she has done nothing and now she has come back, the nerve of her – it is just not fair,"

Lorelai's mobile started ringing.

"Oh my god it's Rory, why is she ringing me? I haven't spoken to her for two months besides Friday night dinners," Lorelai gabbled.

"Well answer it!" Suki replied.

"Hello"

"Mum, Grandma is at Hartford Hospital, please come quickly"

"Is she alright?"

"Please just come"

"Okay I'll be right there"

"Bye"

Lorelai looked at Suki, "My mother is in the hospital, I have to go"

"Okay, I'll get Michel to cover for you"

Lorelai was driving to Hartford feeling guilty over all the times she has mocked her mother, when all Emily really wanted for her was to wear pretty dresses and act proper – was that too much to ask for? Then she thought of the deliberate hurtful things her mother had said to her, and felt very confused. Six years ago would she have been rushing to the hospital like she was now? She didn't know, that scared her, she didn't know.
