Hey, the next chapter is translatet and I hope it has not too many mistakes in it. But if someone of you wants to be my beta reader I would appreciate it a lot, because I know how annoying it can be to read a story with mistakes in it.
So I hope you like the chapter and review a lot. :-)
Chapter 6
The next days just flew by. Rory was much better after her talk with Lorelai. It was good to talk about everything and it helped her to deal with it.
Most of the following days were good ones. She woke up, took care of Lori and brought her to daycare, because she decided to stay in Stars Hollow, and worked at the Dragonfly to help her mother. She took time off at the paper, because she couldn't write at the moment, she just couldn't deal with other peoples problems. She had much bigger problems on her own right now. But working at the Inn was great, it was just like years ago, when she helped after school. But the best was, that it helped her to set her mind off of Logan for a while.
But then there were the bad days. These always followed when she had dreamed of Logan and woke up crying. She had problems getting up and sometimes she couldn't at all. She spend the whole day at home and buried herself under her blankets. Lorelai had to take Lori to daycare and got her in the afternoon. She new that it was best to leave Rory alone, even if it hurt to see her like this. But these days got less the more time passed by and Lorelai hoped that they would stop soon.
Today was one of the bad days again. Lorelai helped Lori with changing into her clothes and afterwards they went to Luke's for breakfast. When both were deeply engrossed in their breakfast, Luke came to their table and sat on a chair next to Lori and opposite Lorelai and stroked over Loris head with his hand. The little girl looked up at him and smiled before she shoved another peace of pancake into her mouth.
„Ehm, have I told you, that we will get a visitor soon?" He asked his wife with a guilty look on his face.
„No I guess not and why do you look so guilty? Does TJ want to hammer a hole in our bedroom again?" she said and looked at her husband.
„No not really but I don't know if this news is much better. Jess will come to visit. He called me yesterday."
„What? Yesterday? And why didn't you tell me sooner? Do you trust me so little?" She said with an angry look on her face. Luke knew that she would react like this, but he knew what she thought of Jess and he didn't want to screw up their evening.
„Of course I trust you, Lorelai! Never question that again, ok? I just knew how you would react and we had such a great time last night. I couldn't screw that up."
Lori had no interest in the whole conversation. She had finished her breakfast and was now looking out the window to watch the people prepared everything for the firelight festival. She had to smile at Kirk who ran around like crazy with his walkie-talkie.
„Why is Jess coming? And when was the last time he called? Five years ago? Does he need someone again who is taking him in?" Lorelai asked, still a little angry.
„No he doesn't. He apologized for not calling and he told me, that he is working for a publisher and wrote two books. He just wants to know how we are. He changed, Lorelai, he is living a good life." He told her.
„I have to see that for myself. You sure that he doesn't want anything like all the other times? He never called just to know how we are, he didn't even like us." She said.
Yes, I know he has changed, I just know that. And you can see for yourself today. He should be here soon." Luke said with a light smirk on his face. Lorelai on the other hand couldn't believe that Jess is supposed to come today. She couldn't even prepare for this and what was she supposed to tell Rory?
In exactly this moment the Diner door swung open and a jung man with black hair and a suitcase came in.
„Hey Uncle Luke, you missed me?" Jess asked when he saw Luke sitting at a table.
„Jess, nice to see you again." Luke stood up and hugged his nephew. When they separated, Jess looked at Lorelai who had a fake smile on her face, still shocked from the news.
„Lorelai, long time no see!" He greeted her.
„Hi Jess, how are you?" She asked polite. Jess saw the little girl sitting next to Lorelai, who looked at the strange man with her big blue eyes.
„I see, you finally changed Lukes mind about kids. Congratulations!" He said to Lorelai.
„Ehm, yea I have, but that isn't our daughter, even though she looks like it. We don't have kids of our own yet." Lorelai told him, not sure how he would react if he new that Lori was Rory's daughter.
So you stole one? Thats not the right way. Do her parents know this?" He joked. He didn't really understand why they sat here with a kid if it wasn't theirs.
„No of course not! That's, Lori is, Rory's daughter." Lorelai finally said. Jess couldn't believe this. Rory had a kid? That can't be true. And who was the father anyway? He hoped it wasn't blondie.
„What? But..." But Lorelai interrupted him.
„Yes, she is Rory's daughter. Luke could you look after her for a minute? I don't want to discuss this in front of her." Lorelai asked her husband.
„Of course, Jess? You two can go upstairs, you also sleep there because the house is full." Jess nodded and followed Lorelai up the stairs, where she told him everything that happened. Jess couldn't believe what she said, it was a little too much information at once and it sounded so not like the Rory he knew and loved. Yes he was sure, that he still loved her. Even if it would take a long time until he would admit this to her. At the moment he just wanted to be there for her as a friend, because that's what she needed at the moment. His feelings weren't important now. So he went outside to take a walk and to think.
Lorelai went back down to see her husband and granddaughter walk from table to table together to take orders. Lori was wearing Luke's baseball cap and had fun with her grandpa.
When she looked at Luke with this tiny girl in his arms she thought about how it would be to have a baby with him. How it would be, if he worked with his own kid in the diner. She liked that thought a lot and she was sure, that he would be the perfect daddy. She hoped that this dream would come true some day.
She watched them for a few more minutes until she noticed, that she had to go to work. She went over to the pair and gave Luke a kiss, before she made her way to daycare and the Dragonfly Inn.
