The Lost 8th Season

Chapter 7- And That Ladies and Gentlemen is Emily Gilmore

At around 9 the next morning, Rory was in Hartford. She pulled up in a yellow cab and parked beside the fountain she knew so well. She walked up the pale stone steps looking straight down at her feet. Her fingers barely touched the familiar door bell.

She had stood on these steps dreading what would come next so many times before, but this, this was the worst time so far.

Her mother answered the doorbell. She looked into the eyes that normally provided her so much comfort and warmth and just cried. She cried there in her arms.

An hour later the lawyer came to the Elder Gilmores' house to discuss what no one wanted to talk about. The maid answered the door and solemnly escorted him into the living room. He nodded his head and sat down in the empty chair where Richard normally sat.

The Maid- What would you like to drink Mr.

She paused for a moment waiting for the reply of his last name.

Mr. Kingston- Kingston

She repeated just his last name wanting to break the silence as little as possible.

Mr. Kingston- Scotch would be nice, thank you.

The Maid- Very well Sir.

Mr. Kingston turned to Emily.

Mr. Kingston- Emily, It seems your husband's last updated will was two years ago. Is that right?

Emily breathed deeply holding herself together.

Emily- Yes, that is correct.

A few hours later…

Emily- No! I am not going to let Richard's body be dissected by some pimpled face scientist in Med. School.

Mr. Kingston- Mr. Gilmore specifically wrote that his body was to be donated for Medical purposes.

Lorelai- Mom, it's what Dad wanted.

Emily- What about me? Doesn't anyone care what I want? I want my husband to have a proper funeral!

Mr. Kingston- Mrs. Gilmore if you would please listen to me.

Emily- I am listening to you! I've heard every damn word you've said.

Lorelai- Mom, calm down. We can still have a normal funeral.

Emily- My husband has been shipped of to God knows where to be dissected like a common bull frog and you want me to calm down?

Lorelai- It's already been done we can't undo it.

Emily- No!

She stands up and storms out of the room but comes back and stands in front of the maid screaming.

Emily- And you! You're fired!
