A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. I know this story is way different from the show but that's why I like it. Elias always said that Rory wasn't cut out to be a Huntzberger so I thought why not have it look like she died in a plane crash with Elias being responsible for it! Enough talking on with the story. I own nothing!
Elias smiled at Rory who was still glaring angrily at him.
"I knew I would see you today" he said confidently.
"You bastard" she spat with the rage inside her rising.
Elias laughed slightly at her remark before he responded to her.
"Now, now my dear you shouldn't use such language" he said calmly as he moved his first finger on his right hand back and forth.
"Go to hell. Oh wait I'm sorry I'm in hell! For two years my family has thought I was dead all because you mister high and mighty don't think I'm good enough for your grandson. You think Madison and I would hold Logan back from reaching his potential.
Tell me did your plan work? Without us is Logan's reaching his potential?" Rory asked as she moved closer to him with her hands on her hips.
He saw the fire in her eyes and knew she would be a force to handle today given it was the two year anniversary of her "death".
"Logan has thrived in the newspaper world" Elias taunted. "However, much to my dismay he hasn't moved on with his life. My grandson can't seem to let you or your child go" he remarked coldly as he stood up and walked over until he was standing directly in front of Rory.
He saw the tears in her eyes that threatened to fall as she worked hard to keep them at bay. He knew he hit her where it hurt maybe it would shut her up now. He didn't have the patience or the time to deal with the whore.
As Rory took a step closer she asked, "How is he?"
"I'll let you see for yourself" Elias replied wickedly.
He handed her pictures that had today's date on them. There were pictures of Lorelai, Luke, Christopher, Richard, Emily, Logan, Honor, Josh, Mitchum, and all her friends. They all seemed to be at the same place. A place Rory had never seen before.
Looking up from the pictures, "Where are they?" she demanded.
Elias touched her shoulder as he saw sadness in her eyes.
"Get the hell away from me" Rory yelled.
He laughed wickedly before he began "You see my dear all of your beloved family is visiting you and your child.
He then handed her two more pictures. One look at the pictures made her tears flow freely. It was pictures of her and Madison's gold plates. She read the plates' inscriptions and it gave a tiny amount of comfort.
Rory remained silent as she looked at the pictures over and over.
"I take it we are done here".
She nodded quietly as she held on to the pictures tightly and turned and walked out.
Rory made her way back to her room and as she entered she heard Madison and Rachel in the little girl's room. As if on cue Madison came running to her mother and gave her a hug with Rachel right behind her.
"Hey baby" she whispered as she kissed the top of the little girl's head trying desperately to clear her tears before she noticed. Rachel quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped Rory's face.
"Thank you" she mouthed. Rachel nodded.
"Hey pretty girl I think it's time for someone's nap. Go put on your pajamas and mommy will be right there to tuck you in".
Madison did as she was told as Rory looked at Rachel with more tears threatening to fall. Rachel pulled her into a light hug as Rory whispered:
"Will you stay for awhile?"
"Absolutely".
Rory went into Madison's room to tuck her in.
"Have sweet dreams baby. Mommy loves you. Daddy loves you too" she added as her heart began to ache.
"I love you mommy" she repeated as she hugged her mother.
As Rory made her way to the door she saw Madison quickly laid down on her side to where she could see the picture of her parents on her night table. Then she heard what her daughter said.
"I love you too daddy" Madison added as she leaned up to kiss the picture gently.
Rory's heart broke for about the sixth time that day as she heard her daughter echo those words. She left the door cracked open as she went to join Rachel in the living area.
"Thanks for staying".
"It's not a problem. I'm glad to help you in anyway I can". Rachel smiled.
"The monster gave me these" she began as she handed her the pictures.
Rachel glanced through them quickly.
She looked up at Rory with her face full of concern and sympathy.
"I'm so sorry" she started as she handed the pictures back to her.
Rachel gave her look as if to say I'm here if you want to talk.
"I have a husband out there that is aching for me and our child. I'm a wife who is aching for her husband. I'd give anything just to feel his touch again if only for a second. He's my life and I want him so badly" Rory stopped suddenly with a look of horror on her face realizing what she had just said.
"I'm so sorry Rachel forgive me for being so forward".
"It's ok" she said reassuringly.
"I also have a mother, father, step father, grandparents, sister in law, brother in law, father in law, and friends who are going through hell also because of my supposed death" she spat with anger in her voice.
Rory got up and started pacing across the floor as Rachel stayed seated and listened.
"You know all those years ago when I first met the Huntzbergers at a dinner Elias said I wasn't right for their family. What the hell gives me the right to do this to my family" she ranted.
"Rory" Rachel began, "You will get back to your family I know it" as she walked over to hug Rory.
"Thanks for listening Rachel" Rory stated as she hugged her back.
"I'm going to give you some time alone but I'll be back later".
After Rachel left Rory went back over and sat on the couch. She sighed as she picked up the pictures of all her loved ones and the two of the plates. She gently ran her hand over every one. As she came to Logan's, she noticed he had a goatee. He looked tired and stressed. Rory also saw his ring, which made her smile and break her heart all at the same time.
"Oh my love, I miss you more than you will ever know" she whispered as she kissed the picture gently.
Logan was trying to sleep with no luck. He tossed and turned every night. This night was particularly hard just what the day was. As he drifted off into an uneasy sleep he saw her.
"Logan help me. Please help me. I need you" Rory begged before disappearing.
"RORY" he yelled bolting up in bed with a cold sweat running down his face.
He laid back down wondering if his dream had any meaning to it.
TBC.
