"Who was at the door Emily?" Dad asks from his chair not looking up from his book. "It's Lorelai, the wedding's of." Mom said as she had me sit on the couch while making me a drink at the drink cart behind me. "Oh good for her." Dad absently replied without looking up from his book. "For peat's sake Richard, put that book down and listen for once!" Mom exclaimed as she handed me a martini and sat down next to me. "Yes dear." Dad said obediently putting down his book and taking of his glasses. "Lorelai what happened? The two of you were doing so well; and we were all just starting to get along." Mom asked taking my hand. "Ware to start? How about how Luke waited two months to tell me he has a daughter, then when she visits I'm not allowed any ware near her or the diner; but yet we would meet up later when she had left. He stopped staying at my place even though we were in the process of moving in together and engaged. Oh and my favorite he called of the wedding because he was overwhelmed with having a daughter and us moving forward together." I explain before downing my drink as the tears flow even faster. "What do you mean, Luke wouldn't let you meet his child?" Mom asked confused as she uses a tissue to wipe the tears from my face. "I mean, the whole town of Stars Hollow has met April at one point or another over the eight months she's been coming to see her dad, even Rory has met her; but Luke would call me every morning and leave a message telling me when April would be at the diner and that he would be over after." I say through the tears as mom wraps her arms around my shoulders and finally hugs me. "Here drink this Lorelai, it'll help." Mom brought out a cup of tea for me a while later. "Thanks mom." I say taking the cup and drinking the bland tea while staring at the family painting hanging above the fireplace. Dad was still reading his book but sneaking little looks over at me, and mom started going through her day planer as she complained about the last DAR function she was at. Only before to long I started falling asleep, mom even had to take the tea cup from me when I fell asleep sitting there on the couch. "Come along Lorelai, let's get you into bed." Mom said softly as she helped me stand and led me up to my old room upstairs. Once in my old room mom sat me on the edge of the bed and walked over to the dresser pulling out some blue silk pajamas, then she helped me change and tucked me in. "Goodnight angle, sleep tight." Mom whispered as she kissed my temple before she turned of the light and closed the door.
The next morning my eyelids flutter open to the sight of my mother laying next to me. Sitting up as carefully as possible so as not to wake my mom, I found that I was wrapped in her arms. Slowly I got out of bed and pulled the covers up and went into the bathroom. After using the bathroom and washing my face, I walked back into the bedroom to find my mom still asleep. "Mom, wake up." I say as I shake her shoulder. "Lorelai, what time is it?" Mom asks as she rolls over onto her right side and starts to get out of the bed. "Almost breakfast time. Were you hear all night?" I ask as I sit next to her. "After I helped you into bed, your father and I got ready for bed ourselves; I couldn't sleep so I came to check on you and found you having a nightmare. You kept calling out for Luke, so I soothed you back to sleep; only for you to start crying in your sleep. I did the only thing I could think of to comfort you, I climbed into the bed and held you; guess I fell asleep." Mom explained as she walked to the door. "Mom. Thank you." I say before she can close the door behind her. Once I settled on a pair of jeans and a simple purple top, I went downstairs to join my parents for breakfast. Dad was reading the morning paper while drinking a glass of milk and mindlessly eating the omelet on his plate. Mom was drinking a cup of coffee as she went through her planner and eating her plateful of buttered croissant, mixed fruit and hash-browns. The maid of the week came out with a plate of eggs, bacon, and toast for me as I sat down in my chair. "Thank you." I say as the maid places the plate in front of me while I lay my napkin across my lap and poor myself a cup of coffee. All I got in return was a small nod as she walked back into the kitchen doing her chores. "How are you feeling this morning Lorelai?" Mom asked setting her coffee cup down. "I don't know, it's hard; I thought Luke was the one." I say as I pick at my food. "What are you going to tell Rory when she comes home tomorrow?" Mom asked before taking a small bit of croissant. "The truth, that the wedding's of and then we will have our usual movie night." I announce after swallowing a bite of bacon. "What is it exactly the two of you do on these movie nights, besides eating junk food?" Mom asks as the maid walked by with laundry. "We pick out three to four movies we want to watch, then go get red-vines chocolate's and pizza. One night Rory and I watched the first three Star Wars movies in one night." I grinned around a bite of egg. "Why on earth would you do that?" Mom asked confused. "Because ever since Rory was little she was so shy, but when we sat down and watched her first movie together...she looked up at me and she started talking." I said with a small smile as my mind flashed back through the years.
