I don't own Gilmore Girls
A/N I have changed Aurora Hayden to Isabella Hayden the nicknames RORA and RORY would have gotten to confusion! Thanks!
Rory was racing around her dorm trying to not only get ready but also get in some last minute studying. Her date with Colin had been amazing. He had taken her to dinner at the Red Dragon only the most amazing Chinese restaurant in Hartford and followed it up by taking her to movies in the park. And while the date was on Saturday night they had ended up spending all of Sunday together which resulted in Rory going crazy this Monday morning.
Rory was determined to get coffee before class and as she rounded the corner she saw her boyfriend standing there with the largest cup of coffee. Grabbing it as she walked and taking a huge gulp she turned to Colin.
"You are the best boyfriend ever!"
"Umm thanks?" Laughed Colin he didn't realize just how bad her addiction was
"So what class you heading to?" Asked Rory
"Tax law, but hey lunch today?" Asked Colin
"Sure! See you then!" Smiled Rory as she gave him a quick kiss and ran off to her own class
A few months had passed since that first date and things were going as wonderful as could be. Rory and Colin had a perfect balance of fun, school work, and working. Of course the working was really only Rory. Tonight the night of their 6 month anniversary they had been summoned to the Gilmore House for dinner.
Colin watched as his girlfriend ran around her dorm attempting to get dressed for the impromptu dinner party at her grandparents house. He of course had been ready since he stepped into her dorm over an hour ago. Finally after another hour of waiting Rory emerged from her dorm room causing his jaw to drop, Rory came out wearing a black Dior bow-strap slip dress, with black Christian Louboutin pumps and a black and silver Christian Louboutin Mia satin evening bag.
"You look fantastic!" Exclaimed Colin when he finally regained the ability to use his voice
"You don't look to bad yourself." Blushed Rory
Together the two got into Colin's limo and headed towards Hartford. The two spent the drive contemplating what this party could be about. Having come up with some of the most of the wall ideas they finally arrived.
"I guess we should go and find out right?" Asked Rory tentatively
"Ya sound like a plan." Sighed Colin
The two entered the Gilmore home and where surprised to see that there was only one other couple her grandparents' age and a young woman their age. Colin heard Rory take a deep breath when she noticed the two adults and Colin became stiff as a board when he realized he was in the presence of Judge Strobe Hayden and his wife Mrs. Francine Hayden.
"Rory, Colin! How wonderful! Rory, Colin may I introduce Rory's other grandparents Strobe and Francine Hayden and their daughter Rory's Aunt Isabella Hayden." Smiled Emily
Rory felt like she was going to faint. The last time the Hayden's had been around did not end well. She still remembered her father's parents calling her the biggest mistake of their son's life. Colin on the other hand was in partial shock. How did none of them know that Rory was the daughter of a Hayden? And not just any Hayden's but THE Hayden's.
"Well Rory I am sure you are wondering why they are here, and also why we asked Colin to come along. With some of the information that you will be receiving today we thought Colin would be the best to help you with it." Explained Richard
"Information?" Asked Rory softly
"Yes. Rory we have done a great job of keeping out aunt out of society. However she will be transferring into her junior year at Yale this fall and as this will cause much publicity we thought it best to give you the heads up." Explained Francine
"I am hoping once the shock wears off that we can become friends." Smiled Isabella with a heavy English accent
Nodding Rory looked to her grandparents dumb founded.
"Rory that is not all. When this comes out to the public it will also come out that you and not your mother are the Gilmore Heiress. As such and I know you will object but we have agreed with Francine and Strobe to have Isabella help prepare you for life in our society." Stated Emily
Colin carefully watched his girlfriend. He was pretty sure she had gone into shock. He couldn't imagine how overwhelmed she must be. It wasn't even happening to him and he was overwhelmed.
"Ror, you ok?" He asked softly
"Ya just shocked." Laughed Rory. "So what does this all entail?"
"Well first we have a few things for you. First on this card is the number of Michael he is you assigned driver, any time you need him you are more than welcome to call the account is paid by your grandfather and myself at the end of the month. Second I am not sure if you are aware of this or not but your legal name is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore Hayden the third, starting next semester that is what you will have to go by. Third, these are from both of us. The Visa is from us and the Amex Black is from the Hayden's. We expect to see them being used young lady." Explained Richard
"Umm thank you?" Asked Rory as she accepted the Platinum Visa and the Black Amex card
"Starting Monday you will be meeting with Isabella daily and she will help you with everything else that you will need! I am sure that friend of yours Miss Vanderbilt would be a welcome help as well. "Offered Emily
Rory just nodded as the adults continued to talk about things that she had no clue. Her purse felt heavy with the new credit cards she had in there. Her mother was going to freak. Maybe she could bribe her with a shopping spree.
"Mother, father, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore may the three of us be excused I would like so very much to get to know Rory a little better before Monday." Smiled Isabella
Rory was amazing when the four adults caved instantly. Even her mother didn't have that power. Quickly the three younger heirs left the Gilmore House. Isabella turned to them.
"I was hoping maybe we could grab a coffee?" Asked Isabella hopefully
"Sure." Weakly smiled Rory
Hartford Starbucks
"So you're my aunt?" Asked Rory after several minutes of silence
"Yes. I know it's a little odd. I was born about 4 months before you. " Explained Isabella
"Isabella if I may ask why doesn't any of us know about you?" Asked Colin
"Bell or Bella please. And they didn't want me to pull a Christopher. They sent me to England where I lived until this year because they figured there I wouldn't be as noticed and then if I did screw up they wouldn't have to claim me." Laughed Bella bitterly
"That sounds about right." Stated Colin nodding
"That is horrible!" Exclaimed Rory
"Sadly Rory that is our life. Yours too now. But look I suppose I should be heading home. I will call you Sunday to finalize plans for Monday. You guys have a great night!" Smiled Bella as she exited the café.
"Well sweetheart you aunt is one of a kind." Laughed Colin
"Yes, yes she is I feel like I should be nervous for Monday." Sighed Rory allowing her head to land on the table.
