CHAPTER 9: Mother Dearest Needs to Get Some Rest!

Rory slept in her mother's room that night, she knows her mom's big enough to sleep by herself, but after what happened, she wanted to be there for her. She still couldn't believe all this. Her mom had finally realized that she is in love with Luke, but fate has, yet again, made it difficult for them.

She knew that her mother has been in love with the Luke for as long as they have known him. Lorelai was just in denial. There are consequences of falling in love with him, and being with him. One is, he is a constant part of their lives, if ever they would break up, then it would be very bad, for the both of them. Not only that, but their source of good food and coffee would be gone.

And besides then, Lorelai didn't date much. Her only priority was Rory. She always put Rory first. And that means dating last. Cause, whoever she dated would affect Rory. So she toned that part down. But as Rory grew up, Lorelai needed somebody. So she started dating. But not with Luke.

Rory guessed it was because Luke has always been their friend, and he was the only man that the two of them could count on. And if Lorelai dated Luke, and it ended badly, then, he would be gone. They would loose their friendship. That's why she didn't act up on it.

For Rory though, ever since she was a little kid, it were those times, when a child was looking for her daddy, Rory had always thought Luke was her dad. He sure acted like her dad. He was always there for them. For her mom, for her. He would take care of them, and protect them. And to Rory, that is what a father should be. When she was little, she had wanted Her mom and Luke to be together. Then they would get married, and then, her and her mom would move in the diner and they can have all the coffee and pie they want.

Then the discovery of Christopher came. Finding out that their faithful diner owner wasn't her father. She guessed it would be ok. And once getting to know her real father, she liked him. And of course, the fact that feeling guilty for not wanting Christopher in her life is wrong. He is her father after all. But deep down, her dream of he mom marrying and them living in the diner is still present.

She wished she could make it all better. She wished that her mom and Luke would be together. Specially now that Lorelai found out her feelings for him. Who is this Becca or was it Jessica? Who cares? Who is this woman that is now Luke's new girlfriend, who use to be his ex? Now she's confused. She's going to ask Lane about this.

Rory woke up the next morning at noon. Looks like she slept in. she looked beside her to see if her mom was there, but no, the other side was empty. All she found was a piece of paper, with her name on it.

Rory,

Had work, coffee's downstairs. Come by the inn, we can spend mother/daughter time together.

♥, the wonderful woman that gave birth to you

Rory sighed. Her mother was such a workaholic. Even after such an intense wallowing over a relationship that never was. At least her humor was there, well, sort of. She knows that her mom was still not over this whole Luke thing. Even if there was nothing to begin with. Just friendship.

Even though Luke has been in a relationship before while he and her mom were great friends, in those days, with Rachel and Nicole, she had been jealous, but she kept it under wraps. She had somebody else to focus on. When Rachel was around, she had Max and Rory. When Nicole was around, she had Alex and Rory still.

But now, now when this mysterious girl is around, who does her mom have? She didn't have a boyfriend, and her daughter is in college. Sookie have Jackson and Davey. But she'll always have Luke, which was why she was fine, in some way, cause Luke was there for her. But now there's somebody else in the picture for Luke. Not only does her mom feel as if she had lost her best friend, but she lost her best friend whom she loves.

Rory sighed. She decided to go downstairs and take up on that coffee that her mom made. She walked in the kitchen and saw the coffeepot full. She poured herself a cup and when she tasted it she immediately spit it out on the sink.

"Ugh. Cold coffee never good." she mumbled, putting the cup down.

She figured her mom must have made this before she left, which was probably early, considering the temperature of the coffee. Meaning her mom woke up earlier before that.

Rory sighed again and shook her head. Her mom really needs to relax.

Her stomach grumbling told her that she needed to eat, now. She got dressed and went out. She headed towards Luke's. She thought that this could be her chance to see this Becca person. And besides, she needed coffee and pancakes.

She entered the diner. There weren't that many customers. Just two at tables by the window. She took a seat at the counter, waiting to be served. Just then, a woman, tall, with glossy brown hair, tying it up in a ponytail as she came out from behind the curtains. Could this be Becca?
