I do not own Gilmore Girls. If I did, I couldn't even describe to you the changes I might make. Including giving Milo a long term contract:)
Thank you so much for the reviews! I got a lot more than expected so here's a new chapter that might explain some questions.
"I can't wait to tell mom!" Leah said excitedly to her twin as they walked along the sidewalk towards Luke's.
"Tell her what?" Holden asked.
"Tell her about J.A. Mariano of course!" Leah exclaimed.
"She doesn't like that book," Holden reminded his sister.
"Yes, but it's still awesome that our teacher is a New York Times Bestselling author!" she said. As they passed Doose's market, Holden swooped in before Leah could say another word.
"Why are we in here Holden? I thought we were going to Luke's?" Leah said. Holden groaned; he hadn't managed to shut her up.
"I want to get something," he said truthfully. He moved though an aisle and Leah trailed him. He picked up a pack cigarettes. Leah gave him a sharp glare and he dropped them quickly, like they were on fire.
"Jeez, I was just joking," Holden said.
"It wasn't funny. You know you shouldn't smoke," Leah said sternly.
"It was just a phase last year. Lighten up," he said. Then Holden reached for a box of Red Vines.
"Happy?" he said as he handed them to her.
"Very," Leah beamed.
They walked over to the counter to see their former classmate from Stars Hollow High, Kirk Jar, at the register.
"How's it going Kirk?" Holden said handing him the candy.
"It's good, but Mr. Forrester's going to be out of town for a few days and I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle the responsibility of closing up," Kirk said worriedly.
"You'll do fine. I'm sure Dean won't worry," Leah said patting Kirk on the back.
"It's Mr. Forrester," Kirk corrected as he placed the Red Vines in the bag.
"You know Leah and I aren't ones to use last names," Holden said as he took the bag.
"Have a good day," was all Kirk said as they left Doose's and walked into the diner. There they were greeted by familiar faces.
"Hi Aunt April!" Leah said as she ran to hug her aunt. April wasn't really Leah's aunt. She was her mom's stepsister and Will's older sister but she said they could call her whatever they wanted and Leah like Aunt April. But she knew from experience that Will didn't like Uncle Will since he was only a year older then Leah and Holden.
"Hey Leah, Holden," April said hugging Leah and then hugging a reluctant Holden.
"Hi Lorelai," April said as she gave her step mom a hug. She then gave Rory a hug. April also tried to hug her brother but he managed to slip out of her bear grip.
"Dad!" she said last. She ran to Luke and gave him the biggest hug.
"April, how are you doing? How's the wedding planning going?" Rory said eating a blueberry muffin.
"It's good. Mark will be here on Friday so you can see him again," April said. She took a seat next to Rory on the counter.
"I don't like the sound of this Mark guy," Luke said.
"Dad, please don't do this again. You met him, you said you like him," April sighed.
"I don't know," Luke grumbled.
"Oh Luke, Mark's a great guy. He's a scientist like April and he really loves her," Lorelai said.
"I guess," Luke shrugged as he wiped down the coffee table. April and Lorelai exchanged a wink while Luke wasn't looking. Will laughed. He knew his mom could convince his father to do anything.
"Can I stay upstairs Dad? It will be a great place to put all the wedding stuff," April pleaded.
"Fine," Luke said. "Will, help your sister with her bags."
"Sure," Will said. He grabbed the luggage and he and April proceeded up the stairs.
The diner was silent but only for a moment. It was the afternoon and not many customers came at this time. But then the door of the diner opened and a man in a business suit walked in the door.
"Dad!" Leah exclaimed. She jumped off her stool and ran into Logan Huntzberger's arms.
"How's my girl?" he said as she kept him in a bear grip.
"Great!" she said. She looked at her twin brother. He had not moved from his stool. He sat their quietly as though no one had entered. There was silence once again in the diner.
"Aren't you going to say hi to your father?" Rory said finally. She stared at Logan.
"Hello Ace," he said.
"Hello Logan," she said calmly. She took a sip from the giant coffee cup in front of her on the counter. Holden continued as thought nothing had happened. The silence became more and more uncomfortable.
"Holden come on!" Leah said with impatience.
"Hello Logan," Holden said finally still not looking at his father.
"Do we really need to do this?" Logan sighed.
"Do what?" Holden said as though he didn't know what was going on.
"You can call me dad, Holden" Logan said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"No I can't," Holden said and he finally turned around and stared at Logan.
"It was 9 years ago Holden, get over it," Leah said quietly.
"I don't think I can. How can I get over the fact that my so called father cheated on mom?" Holden said the anger in his voice rising.
"I said I was sorry, Holden. What more do you want me to do?" Logan pleaded.
"I want you to get the hell out of here!" Holden yelled.
"Maybe you should go Logan," Lorelai said finally. Logan looked at the glaring Holden again before he walked out to his limo parked in front of the diner.
"He was just trying to be our dad again you jerk!" Leah screamed at Holden.
"I don't need a dad," was all Holden said as he walked out of the diner.
I hope this chapter answered questions! Reviews for the last chapter were great so review again!
