Chapter 8

3 weeks after their discussion, Dean filed for the divorce and Gen went through with it and he also got a court date for the custody case.

Dean was getting really nervous about the case, he was thinking the worse; not getting full custody, not getting any custody at all. He needed comfort and reassurance, he needed someone who could be his rock, someone who had always been his rock; Rory Gilmore.

So he picked up his phone and scrolled down to her contact (Rory with a heart) and pressed on her number. It rang and rang until he heard her angelic voice come through the phone.

"Hello?" Rory says with a bit of a stressed and annoyed tone to her voice. "Umm Rory? You okay?" Dean says confused.

"Dean? Oh My God! I am so sorry, I didn't look at my caller ID and I was having a bad day and-" Rory babbled on and on before Dean cut her off. "Rory! It's okay, why are you having a bad day?"

"Don't worry about it, why did you call?" Rory avoids Dean's question not wanting to tell him what was really going on with her. "I wanted to ask you if you would come down here and come with me to the court case tomorrow. I really need some support and I don't know who else calms me down as much as you do-" Dean also babbles, Rory cuts him off this time. "Dean! It's okay, of course I will! What time shall I be there?"

"I'll pick you up at your house at 3 and we'll leave from there." Rory nods and then realises Dean can't see her she quickly says okay.

He next day Rory woke up to her alarm blaring out 'Candy Man' by Sammy Davis Jr. She smiled when she thought of the person who the song reminded her of, the person she was being picked up by in an hour. She looked at the time on her phone and realised that it was two in the afternoon. She had slept through her other four alarms. She jumped out of bed and ran to the shower, turning it on and stepping in.

When she got out, which was after 15 minutes, the quickest shower she had ever had, she put on the clothes she laid out last night before she went to sleep.

She looked at the time and saw it was 14:55. She panicked quickly throwing her hair in a ponytail and ran downstairs to grab a poptart. A knock was heard at the door and Rory hopped towards the door trying to put her shoes on. She opened the door nearly falling out of it before being caught by the person at the door.

"Uh, hey..." Dean says confused why she had fallen and why she had a poptart hanging out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry I woke up late and I didn't have enough time and I didn't want to miss this because you need me and-" Rory explains really fast. "Rory, Rory it's okay. I knew you'd be a little late so I said 3 to make sure we'd make it on time, it's at 4." Dean chuckles a little seeing her face turn from anxious to annoyed in a second.

She dropped her shoe in shock. "You knew I'd be late?! You know me too well."
