Lorelai secretly sneaked back into Trix's bedroom later that evening and indulged herself in the old picture albums. She came across a picture of Emily, Richard, and herself when she was a baby. A small sigh exited Lorelai, it had seemed like an eternity since Emily had passed away. Thinking of Emily lead her to think of Joan and how much she missed her as well. Sometimes, Lorelai still found herself feeling guilty over Joan's accident. She wanted so much for Joan to be a part of Rory's life. She thanked God for Trix. The one person who had not abandoned nor stopped loving her. Trix had been more of a mother figure than she was expected to be and her bond with Lorelai and Rory was immensely strong.

Lorelai glanced around the room. Rory was right, the house was so big and so empty, yet it never felt this way before. The glamorous and breathtaking mansion was feeling more and more like an old ramshackle house with memories being it's only hostess. Used to the idea of moving, and moving frequently, the thought of leaving behind Trix's house, at least for a while, darted into Lorelai's mind. It seemed logical to find a much smaller house or even perhaps a nice apartment for her and Rory. Then when Rory turned 21 she could do as she pleased with the house and rest of Trix's estate. Of course, that wouldn't be for another seven years, the house would fall to pieces by then without proper care. After pondering for several minutes, she finally came up with a practical solution. She would rent the house to someone who she believed would be honorable and responsible. This way she could not only make sure the house stayed in excellent condition but even bring in some extra money of her own so that she wasn't to use any of what was left from Trix's will. Convinced and satisfied, Lorelai next had to figure out how to persuade Rory of the idea.

"Mom…" a small voice called from the bedroom door. "I've been looking everywhere you."

Lorelai quickly closed the albums. "Just picking up where you left off." Lorelai replied. She stood from the bed and walked over to Rory. "Is there something you need?"

Rory handed the phone to Lorelai. "It's Grandpa again."

An astounded look covered Lorelai's face as she slowly took the phone. Unsure of why Richard would be calling twice in a few short days, she prepared herself for the most illogical and unreasonable thing she could think of.

"Hello?"

"Lorelai, this is Richard."

"Yes, Rory told me." Lorelai replied.

"Yes, well, excuse me for properly introducing myself over the phone. I've been discussing some matters with Mr. Shurtz and I was very shocked, to say the least, of what information I was given."

Lorelai put her hand over the phone and held it away from her mouth. "Rory, go downstairs…" she said firm yet politely.

Rory adhered to her mother and left her standing alone in Trix's room. After Rory was out of sight, Lorelai uncovered the phone.

"Look, I know what you're thinking…"

"Do you Lorelai?" Richard's belligerent voice replied. "Well, what is it that you think?"

Lorelai remained calm and patient, though Richard was testing her character. "You think it's ridiculous for Trix to leave her entire estate and fortune to Rory."

"Ridiculous is putting it very mildly. It's flat out preposterous! Trix's estate should have been split equally between Sabrina and I! It should not been given to some teenage girl who isn't even blood!"

"Hey!" Lorelai shouted into the phone. "Grandma prepared her will the way she wanted! I don't understand why she's done what she's done, but I'm sure she had a damn good reason for doing it!"

"How do I know Trix was even in a sane state of mind when she drew up her will? Only an insane old woman would do such a absurd thing. You should have stopped her, Lorelai. You should have had the decency in you to recognize her fragile state of mind and prevent this! You took advantage of her!"

"Me!" Lorelai roared into the phone, her voice cracking and popping with emotion. "I never even knew about this until yesterday morning! How dare you accuse me of taking advantage of Trix… you're the one who didn't even show up to her funereal."

Before Richard could retaliate Lorelai had hung up the phone and thrown it down the stairs. It landed on the wooden floor and shattered into several pieces. Sondra came running towards the stairwell and stopped when she saw a very angry Lorelai standing at the top.

"Is everything alright, ma'am?" Sondra asked timidly.

"Everything's fine, Sondra." Lorelai coolly replied. "Do you mind sweeping that up for me?"

Sondra gently shook her head, her mouth slightly gaping, "Not at all, ma'am."

"Thank you."

Lorelai slowly turned and walked into her bedroom, shutting the door behind her.

(The next morning)

"Rory, please say something…"

Rory glanced up at her mother. "Can we do it before school starts? I don't want to start high school somewhere and then have to move."

This wasn't exactly the statement Lorelai was expecting; Lorelai was impressed at how easily Rory was going along with the moving idea. "Sure… If we start looking now, I bet we can find something in just a few days. Maybe even something where you wouldn't have to change schools." Lorelai paused. "But, hey, if you don't like the idea…"

"I like the idea." Rory interrupted. "It's too gloomy around here. I miss her too much."

Lorelai smiled. "We can start looking today. I can pick up a paper and we can check for apartments or houses…"

"What about where you're from?"

"What?" Lorelai asked quickly, not sure if she had heard Rory correctly.

"Connecticut…" Rory clearly stated. "Why don't we go there?"

Lorelai, who was at a loss for words and an explanation, began to stammer. "Well, I …. You see…. Well, You…." Lorelai paused. "Why do you want to go there?" She finally asked.

"I've heard you talk about it a lot… it seems like a really wonderful place. Sometimes I'm convinced I can remember being there when I was a baby."

"Rory, I don't know… There's so much history there."

"Exactly…" Rory concluded. "So it makes sense that we should go back. I mean like you said, it's just for a while until we're ready to pick up here at Trix's again."

"Yeah, I said that, but I didn't think of moving out of the country, I thought of moving down the street…" Lorelai was becoming afraid of the thought of going back to Stars Hollow, back to Luke, back to Chris, back to Richard… it was all too much to think about.

"We moved out of the country once." Rory assertively replied. "It worked out great…."

"Sweetie…" Lorelai smiled. "Stars Hollow is a wonderful, wonderful place... but I left all of that behind so many years ago."

"Please?" Rory asked, her blue eyes becoming bigger. "I want to see where you lived and where I was born."

Unable to resist any longer, Lorelai gave in. "Alright… if that's what will make you happy."

A large smile came across Rory's face.
