Part 11 'Benny's Back'Rory and Levi slept for what seemed like hours, Lorelai just sitting watching them. It was only actually about 30 minutes, and just as she began to drift off to sleep as well, Benny came along the corridor, 2 brown paper bags and 2 coffee cups in her hands. Benny stopped suddenly when she saw Lorelai sitting there, she had no idea who Lorelai was and since Rory and Levi were both asleep she just presumed that they had no idea she was here either. Benny wasn't really sure what to do when she saw Lorelai sitting there. Lorelai hadn't seen Benny yet, but Benny thought that Lorelai was ignoring her.
"Erm, excuse me" Benny said, trying to sound kind
"Oh yeah" Lorelai turned noticing Benny finally "Sorry I didn't realise you were there" Lorelai smiled "You must be Benny, I'm Lorelai" Lorelai held out her hand for Benny to shake but instead Benny just frowned and asked
"Who?"
"Lorelai, I'm Rory's Mom" Lorelai said plainly, the first real time she had been able to admit that in 5 years, it made her feel prouder than ever, considering she had spent the last 4 years pretending Rory didn't exist.
"Rory's mom" Benny looked puzzled "Rory doesn't speak to her Mom"
"She does now," Lorelai said almost laughing
"Right" Benny wasn't really sure how to respond to that, after all Lorelai did look identical to Rory, maybe she should just go into Dylan's room and get Logan, he's met Rory's mom before. "I'll be right back" Benny told Lorelai as she pushed open the door to Dylan's room.
"Hey Benny" Logan smiled as he let go of Dylan's hand
"Hi Benny" Dylan said sweetly, turning away from the baseball game
"Hey Guys" Benny smiled at them both, "Er, Logan, can I talk to you over here for a second" Benny stood in the corner of the room, waiting for Logan to join her
"Sure, what is it?" Logan said getting up and moving towards her.
"Well, there's a woman outside, sitting next to Levi and Rory, and she says her names Lorelai, Rory's Mom" Benny explained
"Lorelai's out there, but Rory doesn't talk to Lorelai" Logan was alarmed
"Well that's the thing, that cant be the real Lorelai, Rory doesn't speak to her and she hasn't for 5 years and why choose now to make up with her, there are so many better times, like the births of any of her 3 children" Benny tried
"I don't know, I'll go and see" Logan pushed past Benny and rushed into the hallway. He looked across to the chairs and saw Lorelai sitting there next to Levi. Logan was shocked at first, then mad, he was mad that Lorelai had just showed up here, Rory had already been upset enough without this to add to it.
Lorelai heard Dylan's room door slam and quickly turned around. Lorelai was stunned to see Logan standing there staring at her. She had expected him to be here, she just didn't think he was here right now.
"What are you doing here? Does Rory know you're here? Because if she doesn't, I think you should leave, she doesn't need anymore stress right now" Logan said angrily
"She knows I'm here" Lorelai answered simply, she could tell that Logan was angry and she didn't want to make it anymore than it had to be.
"Did she say you could stay" Logan shot back, he wasn't in the mood for talking right now, he didn't need Rory worrying about anything else, he had only just managed to get her to sleep after 4 days
"Well she didn't say I had to go" Lorelai said plainly, trying not to get mad at Logan
"Well I think you should, if you give me your number I'll tell her to call but right now she needs to sleep" Logan said also trying to hide his anger
"I think I'll stay, and she looks like she sleeping just fine to me" Lorelai almost laughed, looking over at Rory who clearly needed the sleep.
"Well, I have to wake her up now anyway, I promised that I would wake her up when Benny got back" Logan said walking towards Rory
"Don't you think you should let her sleep, she looks like she hasn't slept in days" Lorelai tried, hoping that Logan wouldn't wake Rory, she looked so peaceful, and it was obvious she needed all of the rest she could get.
Logan continued towards Rory and gently shook her skinny body; Rory began to stir and eventually opened her eyes and looked around.
"Oh hey, did Benny get back already, how long have been asleep?" Rory sat up and rubbed her eyes
"Yeah, Benny just got back, its been about an hour, you can go back to sleep if you want, I just woke you up because I promised you I would" Logan explained
Rory smiled at him, then noticing her Mom, shot up "Thanks Logan, you think that I can see Dylan alone for a few minutes?" Rory asked politely
"Sure, if you don't mind, me and Benny were thinking of stopping by home and collecting some stuff, we'll take Levi with us too if you like" Logan offered
"That's fine, I just wanted to talk to Dylan about my mom" Rory said
"Well then, we'll be back in a few hours, we might just leave Levi there with the nanny if that's ok, there's not really much he can do sitting around here all the time" Logan tried
"Yeah sure, just let me say goodbye to him first" Rory smiled
"Ok, I'll get Benny and I'll see you in a few hours, call if you need anything" Logan picked up his coat that was hanging over the side of a chair, then re-entered Dylan's room.
"So you and Logan are on speaking terms now" Lorelai felt Safe asking Rory a personal question now, she wasn't sure what had changed in the few hours that she had been here, but she figured they had wasted so much time forcing themselves to stay away from each other, that when the opportunity came along to be together, they just sort of took it without a second question.
"Yeah, we weren't until about a week ago, when a major blow out brought us back onto speaking terms" Rory explained, gently tapping Levi.
"Yeah, same with me and Luke" Lorelai sighed, thinking back to the day she walked out of Luke's diner, she never thought she would go back, until she heard about Dylan
"Yeah, what made you get back together" Rory questioned
"Dylan, actually" Lorelai smiled and laughed a little
"Dylan!" Rory was shocked, she didn't realise Dylan had so much power over the world
"Yeah, and I haven't even met him," Lorelai said, hinting slightly that she wanted to meet him
"Well then you probably should" Rory smiled, leading Lorelai to get up.
"We should probably wait until Logan and Benny come out" Rory said shyly
"Why?" Lorelai had gathered by now tat Rory was some what scared of Benny, and Lorelai wasn't really sure why, there was no way Benny would ever take Rory's place, so she didn't understand why Rory had to be scared of her
"Well because, they might want some time with Dylan before they leave" Rory was thinking excuses up think and fast to lie to her mom
"They're only going for a few hours, just go in" Lorelai pushed, she knew forcing Rory may be quite dangerous right now, but she knew that her not being around for 5 years had made Rory weaker.
"Sure ok" Rory hadn't come up with any excuses that would have even made a tiny bit of sense, so she had to give in.
Rory walked towards the door and pushed down n the handle, Lorelai closely following behind her, no turning back.
Both Logan and Benny turned to look at Rory and Lorelai as they entered the room.
"Oh hey, sorry, we forgot we promised you some time with Dylan, we're leaving now" Logan said promptly standing up
"You don't have to leave just because thy have come" Benny whispered in Logan here, just loud enough that Lorelai overheard it.
Lorelai didn't want to say anything, even though she was dying to. Lorelai felt she didn't have the right, having only been there a matter of hours, but Benny just struck Lorelai straight away, as someone she didn't like.
"I said I'd let Rory have some time alone with Dylan, so we're going" Logan said calmly, not wanting this to end up being an argument. Logan knew that if he and Benny didn't leave soon, then all the anger that Rory had been saving and holding back for years, would come pouring out right there, something Logan did not want to happen.
"You know Logan, she isn't even supposed to be here" Benny continued to whisper in Logan's ear, even as he put his jacket on and stood up and moved from the chair he had been resting in.
"I know that, but I want her to be" Logan explained. He really did. He wanted Rory to be there. He had never wanted Rory to be anywhere for years, but after that argument they had a few days back, the air between them seemed to have cleared, and they were being what Logan would call nice to each other. Being nice to Rory gave Logan this strange feeling that he never got from anyone else, Rory was the only person who made Logan feel good inside when he was nice to them. Not even Benny gave him that feeling.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ok, so no Benny/Rory scene – I did say there might be, but remember I made o promises about that, but the next part starts where this one left off, so….. We all know what will happen there. I can feel a good argument forming in my head as I write so you won't want to miss the next part, will you? I hope the ending gave the Rogan shippers a little bit of hope, even if it was minuscule. But next chapter will be up ASAP, as soon as I get a few reviews! So please keep reading and reviewing and I'll be on the case of writing the next one as soon as that first review hits my inbox…..
