Dreamland:

Entering Dreamland

--Lori was wearing a beautiful crystal light gown. She was walking down the aisle escorted by Luke. She couldn't make out who the groom was. As hard as she tried she couldn't quite get it.

--She made her way in front of every one. Lo and behold on the front row sat Jess Mariano. Not meaning to, Lori made eye contact with him, but quickly turned back to her groom. She still couldn't make out his face.

--The vows were done, the kiss was over, Lori and her new husband were leaving. However, Jess grabbed her and pulled her close to him.

"I can't believe you're doing this to me, Lor," Jess whispered harshly in her ear.

"What do you mean?" Lori asked quite confused.

"We had a chance, Lor," Jess paused, "I love you."

"Don't do this to me, Jess!" Lori was getting angry, "You walked out on me! Now you have to live with it!"

--Jess looked deeply in her eyes.

"Get away from me!" Lori said forcefully, "I don't want you any where near me! I hate you!"

"If that's what you want," Jess began to turn, "I just want you to be happy. Just remember I'll love you forever."

Exiting Dreamland

--Lori woke with tears falling from her eyes.

--Ray woke up when her heard her crying.

"What's wrong?" He asked concerned.

"This dream," Lori said between cries.

"Tell me about it," Ray said pulling her closer.

--Lori told him the whole dream thru sobs.

--Ray comforted her until she fell asleep.

--The next morning, Lori woke up in Ray's arms. She smiled to herself. The dream was seemingly forgotten.

--Lori got up and was on her way to the kitchen when she became dizzy and sick to her stomach.

--She ran to the bathroom and vomited.

"This is really getting old!" Lori said bitterly still sitting at the toilet.

--Ray got up after hearing the commotion.

--He made his way to the bathroom.

"Must suck," he said sarcastically.

"Thanks for the sympathy," Lori playfully glared at him.

--He helped her up.

"So, yea, I'm real hungry," Lori said as they made their way to the living room.

"Whatcha want?"

"I really should go to the diner or home. I'm sure my parents are wigged out by now," Lori told him.

"Actually I have to leave for work in a few minutes," Ray remembered.

"Mmk. I'll call you later," Lori made her way to the door, "thanks for everything Ray. It means a lot."

"Anytime," Ray kissed her cheek.

--She left.

--Lori drove to Luke's.

--When she arrived the only people in the diner was Luke, Lorelai, Landon and well, Kirk.

--The group was startled when they heard the bell ring.

"Oh, my God! Lori where have you been?" Lorelai asked demandingly.

"Ray's," Lori answered lowly.

"Excuse me!" Lorelai said in disbelief.

"Hey, take this upstairs. People are starting to come in," Luke warned them.

"Watch Landon," Lorelai said before dragging Lori upstairs.

"What do you mean you were at Ray's?" Lorelai paused, "I mean, Ray better be short for Raylynn or something cuz…"

"Mom, nothing happened," Lori interrupted.

"That's what you said last time you stayed with a guy, and BAM! Two months later you're pregnant!" Lorelai raged.

"Would let me explain!" Lori pleaded.

"This better be good," Lorelai said more calmly sitting down.

"Well, ya see, when I went to tell Jess about the baby…He was packing. Apparently his ex called and needed him. We got in a big fight and I ended up not telling him. Then Ray was the only one I could think to turn to. I didn't want to come to you because you'd basically tell me 'I told ya so'. I didn't want to hear that. So, I talked to Ray about it and surprisingly he didn't care! He just held me. Then I got the nerve to tell Grandma and Grandpa. That didn't go to hot. First, they blamed you. Then I told them I didn't want them in either my child's life or mine. I mean, I felt real bad after saying it, but you shoulda seen the way they looked at me. They didn't even care when I said I didn't want them in our lives," Lori began to cry.

"Oh, huney, I'm sorry," Lorelai got up and wrapped her arms around her crying daughter.

"Then I went back to Ray's. And told him everything that happened. He was shocked that they'd treat me like that. Well, he said he'd sleep on the couch and I could have the bed, I thought that was wrong. I mean, I coulda slept on the couch. But anyways. I ended up calling him to come lay down with me. No, Mother. We didn't do anything. So, we fell asleep and I had this dream. About my wedding except I couldn't tell who the groom was. But Jess was sitting on the front row. After the wedding he pulled me aside and told me we coulda had a chance and that he loved me. I told him that I hated him and to stay away from him. Then he said he'd do whatever made me happy," Lori said after she finished hugging her mother.

--Lorelai kept her arm around her to comfort her.

"I just don't understand, Mom. Why did this happen to me?" Lori looked up with tears on her face.

"I guess, the same reason it happened to me, sweets. I just don't know that reason," Lorelai paused, "maybe it's because God knew I could raise two beautiful daughters, meet the man of my dreams and give him at least three more children."

--Lori smiled at that.

"Let's go."

--They made there way down the stairs.

--Rory had gotten to the full diner by this time.

"Lori!" She screeched flying across the diner.

"Hey," Lori said quietly.

"Where were you?"

"I'll tell you later."

--The Gilmore (Danes) Girls sat at the bar.

"Coffee!" Lorelai and Rory chimed in unison.

"Ugh!" Lori said disgusted.

"Rory, you can have coffee, you two can't," Luke said sternly.

"Not fair!" Lorelai pouted.

"You can't have coffee while you're pregnant," Luke told her.

"I don't even want it. The smell makes me sick now," Lori informed them.

--Luke still hadn't made any eye contact with her.

"I guess he's still not over the shock," Lori said sadly.

"He'll come around," Lorelai patted her back.

"I think I'm gunna go home and do something. I might read," Lori said absent minded.

"You read?" Rory pretended to be shocked.

"Yes! I love reading," Lori turned to her, "just not that Hemmingway or Scarlet Letter crap."

"The Scarlet Letter happens to be an awesome book!" Rory acted offended.

"Ugh. Mrs. Hilliard made me read that junior year. I thought I was going to die. Why couldn't he just sum it up. Hester screwed Arthur while she was married to Rodger. Then she got knocked up. Then everyone found out. Then they all died. THE END!" Lori was disgusted.

--Rory laughed. Lori got up to leave.

--She drove home.

--She pulled out Dreamland by Sara Dessen. (One of her favorite books.)

--After she had read the whole thing it was only 11:30.

"I'm so bored!" She said aloud.

"Ya know only crazy people talk to themselves," Rory came out of her room.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were here."

"No problem," Rory laughed, "What were you reading?"

"Dreamland," Lori answered.

"Any good?"

"You probably wouldn't think so," Lori leaned against the door frame.

"Try me," Rory leaned against the wall.

"It's about a girl who started dating a guy after her sister ran off. Anyway, the guy ends up beating her and getting her into drugs and all that jazz. Then he get caught beating her and gets sent to prison or some crap and she gets put in rehab."

"Sounds interesting," Rory said after pondering over the summary.

"You ready for the party tonight?" Lori asked referring the annual New Year's Eve party thrown by Lorelai.

"Yeah. I'm excited. You?" Rory smiled.

"I think I might stay at home," Lori shook her head.

"Why?" Rory questioned, but she found the answer when Lori looked at her.

"Sorry, it kinda slipped my mind," Rory apologized.

"It's okay. I might come watch the fire works, but I'm not sure."

"Mom's gunna make you, you know this right?" Rory gave her a look.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Lori thought a moment, "maybe I can invite Averie, Kurt and Ray."

"That would be cool! I'd like to see more of Ray. Mainly cuz he's hot, but…Oh, I mean…" The twins laughed.

--Lori grabbed her phone and called Averie, Kurtis and Ray. They all agreed to the invites.

"Maybe this could be fun," Lori turned back to Rory.

"Just don't think about him. I mean, I understand it was y'alls first kiss, but come on," Rory hugged her sister.

"I won't think about him."
