A/N: I know…Long wait, but it is worth the while, because this is a pretty long chapter! Please leave me some reviews. It makes me writer quicker. Oh yeah and some suggestions! I love those too

Lorelai walked back and forth in her living room staring at the cordless phone that laid on coffee table. Pick the damn phone up Lorelai. Her inner voice would tell her. Finally she sighed and picked it up and sat on the couch. She dialed the number and put the phone up to her ear.

" Gilmore Residence." The maid answered.

" Um. Hello. This is Emily and Richard's daughter. Probably know me as 'The Greatest Disappointment of their lives'." Lorelai joked.

" Excuse me ma'am," The maid asked a tad bit confused.

" This is Lorelai Gilmore calling to talk with either my mother or father…preferably my father." Lorelai told the maid.

" Oh. Well why didn't you just say that. Yes one moment. Let me get Mrs. Gilmore." The maid put Lorelai on hold.

A minute or so later, the phone clicked and Emily was there. " Lorelai?" She asked.

" Hey Mom!" Lorelai said kindly

" Hello Lorelai. How are you?"

" Good. Good. Well…Rory's birthday is coming up…" Emily cut off Lorelai

" Really? I had no idea. I thought I was shopping for my other granddaughters birthday and throwing a party for the other granddaughter also." Emily snapped sarcastically.

" Right. Well I just wanted to invite you to Rory's birthday party here at the house. I am sure she would love it if you and dad could be here. It is going to be the whole town, so it will consist of everyone telling embarrassing stories about Rory." Lorelai rambled.

" Lorelai." Emily cut her off again. " We would love to come."

" Really? Wow. Um…that's great." Lorelai said.

" Is that all?" Emily asked.

" No…that's it." Lorelai told her.

" Okay. See you on Friday." Emily hung up the phone.

Lorelai walked into the Diner later that day with Rory by her side.

" Hey Luke." Rory smiled and gave him a hug.

" Hey Rory. Lorelai." He said kissing her on the lips.

" Hey Hon" Lorelai returned.

" So Rory, I hear you're having your big birthday bas on Friday." Luke smiled.

" Yep! Should be great. Mom is known for her parties."

" Oh boy don't I know it." Luke said while glaring at his girlfriend.

" I'm sorry!! Really. It was a joke!" Lorelai said putting her hands up in the air as if she was caught doing something bad.

" A joke that I got fined for." Luke said.

" It was fun!" Rory smiled remembering the day that they decided to roll Luke's Diner, but they didn't have any toilet paper and Doose's was closed so they got streamers that they had left over from birthday parties and celebrations and used that. Taylor was furious and gave Luke a fine.

" It sure was." Lorelai smiled.

" Whatever." Luke shook his head. " You both still owe me," Luke told them.

" I will make it up later." Lorelai said seductively. Jess was sitting down next to her when she said that so she received an " EWW Gross mom" form Rory and " Ah Jeez" 's from Luke and Jess. Lorelai just giggled.

Friday morning at 4:02 in the morning Lorelai snuck into Rory's room and lied down next to her.

" Mom?" Rory asked.

" Hey" Lorelai smiled.

" Hey." Rory said making more room for Lorelai.

" I cannot believe how fast you are growing up." Lorelai smiled.

" Feels slow." Rory commented.

Lorelai laughed. " Yeah. Well what do you think of your life so far?"

" I would say pretty good." Rory smiled. " Do I look any older?" Rory asked.

" Oh yeah! You can start going to Denny's with your grandparents at five in the morning and get a good discount. " Lorelai smiled.

" Good deal." Rory smiled.

" You know what. I think…No I know you are a great, cool kid and the best friend a girl could have."

" Right back at ya." Rory yawned.

"…And it is so hard to believe that many moons ago at this very time I was lying in the exact same position." Lorelai smiled.

" Oh boy." Rory sighed.

" But I had huge ankles and I was swearing like a sailor and screaming." Lorelai laughed

" On leave!" Rory said.

" On leave." Lorelai agreed. " And there I was"

" In Labor." Rory commented.

" Pelting ice cubes…"

" At the nurses." Rory butt in. " I wonder if the Walton's ever did this.

" Shh! I am getting to the best part." Lorelai smiled and continues tell the story.

The next morning Lorelai, Rory, and Jess walked into the Diner.

" Happy Birthday Rory!!" Amy and William smiled walking over to her and hugging her.

" Thanks." Rory smiled.

Luke walked out form the kitchen and when he saw Rory his eyes lit up.

" Rory!" He smiled and walked over to her and gave her a huge hug. " Go sit down at that table and wait a second. I have a surprise." Luke said and walked up stairs.

Rory looked at Lorelai with suspicious eyes. " No. This is all him, I have no idea about this." Lorelai said.

Rory looked at the rest of the. " I don't know." They all said,

" Hmm." Rory said and waited for Luke to come down.

Finally he came down with a cake and balloons

" Here you go. It's a coffee cake." Luke smiled.

" Oh Wow! Thanks Luke!" Rory said getting up to hug him but he stopped her.

" This isn't your present. This is." He hands her an envelope.

Rory opens the envelope and pulls out 10 tickets.

Rory turns them over to see what they were for.

" Oh My God! Oh My Gosh!! You didn't!" Rory said looking up at him. He nodded with a huge grin. " Front Row seats! 10 tickets? Are you serious? Oh my Gosh!!! " Rory jumped up and jumped onto Luke and gave him a huge hug. He twirled her around.

" Thanks Dad!" She yelled. Everyone in the Diner was watching the exchange. Lorelai smiled.

" Come on what is it?" Lorelai asked impatiently.

" Ten front row seats…. brace yourself mom…to the…. BANGLES!!" Rory yelled.

" OH my god! Luke!" Lorelai smiled and jumped and gave him a hug also.

" I hope you like them." Luke said shyly.

" Like them? I LOVE them!" Rory smiled. Amy and William just smiled, not knowing the value of the tickets. Jess grinned. Just then Dean walked in the door.

" Deanie." Jess mocked.

" Shut it Jess." Dean warned.

" Ooh Nice comeback." Jess said sarcastically. Amy nudged him a little, and tells him to behave.

" Happy Birthday Rory." Dean smiled. Rory shyly smiled back

" Thanks." Luke and William Glared at the boy.

" Well see ya around" Dean smiled.

" She won't be seeing you anywhere, little punk." Luke muttered. Lorelai smiled and nudged him as Amy had done to Jess.

" Yeah see ya." Rory smiled with a wave good-bye.

After school, Rory walked into her house to find Lorelai and Sookie decorating it.

" Hey Popcorn, how was school?" Sookie asked

" Fine. The usual." Rory said as she sat down at the table with Lorelai and Sookie.

" Want something to eat? Sookie made some food for the party." Lorelai suggested.

" No. I'm gonna go to the bookstore or something, but don't worry I will be back in time to help decorate." Rory said getting up from the table.

" No! You're the birthday girl! You don't decorate! Or work." Lorelai informed her daughter.

" Right." Rory agreed. "Bye." And Rory was out the kitchen

Rory decided to go check out the college fair while she was out since they didn't need her back too soon.

" Rory?" Rory heard someone call her. She turned around from the Harvard Booth and saw who was in front of her.

" Paris Hi!" Rory smiled.

" What are you doing here?" Paris asked kindly.

" Well it is a college fair. I do want to go to college. So here I am." Rory smiled.

" Right. But I meant here as in here" Paris smiled pointing to the booth.

" Oh Harvard booth. Well I am picking up another brochure. Checking to see if the pictures are different." Rory smiled.

" Nah. They seem to change the pictures every 3 years." Paris told her. " So you're applying to Harvard?" Paris asked.

" Yeah!" Rory smiled. " Been planning on Harvard since I could walk."

" Same here. 10 generations of Gellar's got into Harvard…so I guess I have to too." Paris smiled.

" Wow. Cool!" Rory smiled.

" Are you dating Tristan?" Paris asked suddenly.

" What? No!" Rory responded.

" Oh. He likes you." Paris said with a smile.

" No he doesn't" Rory shook her head.

" Yes he does." Paris argued.

" Whatever." Rory rolled her eyes. " Paris? What are you doing tonight?" Rory asked.

" Going home and watching re-runs of ER." Paris shrugged. Rory raised an eyebrow. " Fine. I'm going home and probably end up studying."

" That sounds like Paris." Rory smiled. " Well if you get bored…maybe you can come over to my house. There is a big party being thrown for my birthday. You want to come? If it is too late to drive back home, you can spend the night." Rory suggested. Paris looked a little unsure.

" You're actually inviting me?" Paris asked.

" Yeah! Well we're friends and friends go to their birthday parties, and also spend the night at their houses." Rory smiled.

" Okay." Paris nodded.

" Okay? Your coming?" Rory asked.

" Okay I am coming. I have to go home first to pack. Can I just meet you at your house?" Paris asked.

" Perfect." Rory smiled.

Later that night, Rory is surrounded by all the people she loves opening gifts.

" Come on Rory! Open it!" Miss Patty smiled.

" Okay. Here it goes." Rory opens the present. " No!!" She shouted.

Lorelai nodded. "It's from me, Luke, Jess, and your grandparents." Lorelai smiled,

" Ah! Thanks" Rory said putting down the ibook and getting up to hug them all.

" Okay everyone! Let's sing happy birthday!" Sookie said bringing out the cake.

" Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Rory! Happy Birthday to Yooouuuu!" Everyone shouted. Rory laughed.

" Make a wish Rory." Paris and Jess said in unison.

Rory looked at Luke and Lorelai and all her family and smiled and closed her eyes shut, made a wish and blew out the 16 candles.

" Okay! Attention please! Okay everyone, Luke and I just have a couple words to say… It's important. Two rabbi's a rabbit and a…" Lorelai was cut off with Luke.

" Lorelai."

" Fine, Fine. So Luke and I just wanted to tell you Rory, that you are an awesome kid. And we love you to death! You are the best thing that could happen to us. And to everyone you meet." Lorelai smiled.

" You are an incredible girl Rory, don't let anyone tell you differently." Luke added. Rory smiled and hugged them both.

" Thanks mom." Rory said while she hugged Lorelai. Rory then turned to Luke and hugged him. " Thanks" She paused a second and looked at him. " Dad" Luke smiled with Pride.

" Okay everyone. Stop this lovey dovey shit! And let's eat Rory's face!" Jess yelled. Just then the doorbell rang. They all ignored it. Then it rang again.

" Jeez! Who the hell's ringing the bell? It's a party! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE" Lorelai yelled and looked to the doorway where her parents stood. " Or assess." Lorelai joked.

" Grandma, Grandpa! I can't believe you're here! No tie?" Rory asked her grandpa

" I thought I'd mix it up a bit." Richard laughed.

" You look handsome." Lorelai informed him.

" Okay well I want to introduce you to everyone. That's Grandpa Will, Grandma, Jess, Paris, Miss Patty Babbette, Morey, Andrew, Lane, Sookie, Jackson, Kirk over there. Everyone these are my other grandparents." Rory smiled.

" Hello." Miss patty said to Richard. " I am Patricia LaCosta" She smiled flirtatiously" We just love your daughter and granddaughter"

" Thank you." Emily said.

Sookie rushed in, in a panic. " We ran out of Ice." She started to panic.

" No we didn't" Luke butt in. " I called Doose's and talked Taylor into sending the bag boy with couple bags." Lorelai smiled and hugged him tight.

" Lifesaver!"

Rory walked out onto the porch and found her grandfather sitting down on the bench.

" Here you go Grandpa. It's just a magazine I figured you would like to read." Rory smiled.

" Thank you Rory." Richard smiled. " Nice party in there. Seems like you have a lot of friends."

" Yeah we do." Rory smiled.

Later that evening, everyone was gathered in the living room talking about nice memories with Lorelai and Rory.

" Remember when she thought our tree stump was a fairy ring?" Babette asked everyone.

" I sure do." Morey laughed.

" How old was she then?" Will asked.

" I think it was during her To Kill a Mockingbird Phase where she ran around calling everybody by name. I was Jem. Luke was called Boo Radley, Grandpa was called Mr. Radley, and Grandma was called Miss. Maudie, I believe Kirk was Dill." Jess grinned.

" Oh Yeah!" Luke said. " She was ten then" Luke smiled. Rory blushed. " She called Taylor Aunt Alexandria! Boy I love those days." Everyone laughed.

" I am just disappointed she quit Ballet." Miss Patty frowned.

" Well I stunk." Rory pouted.

" Yes. We know." Lorelai hugged her daughter.

" She did have spirit though." William said. " Always prancing around our house and putting on shows for us." Everyone smiled. Emily just sat there and took in that all these strangers knew more about her only daughter and granddaughter.

" Well maybe the next one will be a better dancer." Miss patty smiled.

" Maybe." Lorelai said a little nervously. Her eyes darted toward Luke who was smiling. She smiled back at him.

Emily looked up and saw the exchange and quickly jumped to conclusions, but decided to ask Lorelai about it later. It was her granddaughters' party and she was not going to ruin it for her.

" Ooh! Remember the time her and Jess and Lane went around selling all their old toys so they could buy guitars and drums sets to form their own band." Kirk said,

" Oh yeah!" Jess smiled.

" You wanted to be in a band?" Paris asked. Jess shrugged. Lorelai noticed that her mother had left the room, so she followed her up to her Room. Emily was looking at a baby blanket.

" I made that." Lorelai smiled.

" Really?" Emily asked surprised.

" Yeah from Rory's only baby clothes." Lorelai informed her mother.

" So when were you going to tell me?" Emily asked.

" Tell you what?" Lorelai asked.

" That you were pregnant with Luke's child." Lorelai's eyes widened.

" What? No!" Lorelai smiled at the thought though.

" You're smiling." Emily smiled.

" I am not." Lorelai said looking down to hide her smile.

" You are! You love the idea of having Burger Boy's baby." Emily said surprised, but was smiling.

" Don't call him Burger Boy. That's what I call him, and maybe the whole idea isn't bad." Lorelai shyly smiled. Emily just smirked.

" So I guess everybody in this town is waiting for Luke to pop the question." Emily concludes.

Lorelai shrugged. Emily turns around and looks at a picture. It was of Lorelai, Rory, Luke, and Jess. Jess and Rory were around the age of 13. They were around Lorelai who was in a Hospital bed.

" What's this?" Emily asked.

" Oh. That's me, Luke, Rory and Jess." Lorelai explained.

" Your in the hospital." Emily said shocked.

" Yeah. I took the kids rollerblading, and I was going down the hill near plum…it didn't end too pretty. Broke my leg." Lorelai laughed. Emily moved on to the next picture, which consisted of the same people except it was a candid picture of them by the lake on a picnic blanket eating. Lorelai and Luke are staring intently into each others eye's smiling while the kids are having a food fight.

" You all really look like the perfect family." Emily noted.

" Yeah well…it isn't perfect, but it's close" Lorelai smiled

" Thank you for inviting me Lorelai." Emily thanked.

" Well I am glad you came. I am sure it meant a lot to Rory, in fact I know it did." Emily just smiled. The walked down the stairs and to the front door.

" Richard, We're leaving come say good-bye to Rory."

Richard got up and walked to the door where Rory had just walked up to. " Hey you guys are leaving already?"

" Yes. We must get home before it gets too late." Emily told Rory. " Happy Birthday."

" Thanks." She said hugging her Grandmother awkwardly. "Bye Grandpa."

" Happy Birthday Rory. Here you go. Put it towards…a trip of some sort." Richard smiled.

" Well…I really want to go to Fez." Rory smiled.

" Put it toward Fez then."

" Thanks grandpa." Rory smiled and hugged her grandfather. They pair walked down the steps and to their Jag.

" Want to go start a food fight?" Rory asked.

" Let's do it babe!" Lorelai smiled and they ran inside.

Lorelai stood over the kitchen sink cleaning up with Jess and Luke when they heard some voices outside.

" I'm sorry you had to sneak around, but I haven't exactly told my Mom or Dad about you…well not that there really is anything to tell…I just mean."

" I know what you mean. Your Dad and Jess seem…protective." Dean smiled.

" Yeah. They are." Rory nodded.

" Here." Dean handed her a bracelet.

" Oh wow! Thanks." Dean helped her put it on. " I really like it."

Luke looks toward Lorelai. " I am gonna kill that punk."

" I will help." Jess added.

" Guys! This is Rory's first boyfriend. Leave her alone." Lorelai said softly, but clenching tightly to the mug.

" You wanna kill him to." Jess smirked. Lorelai just glared at him and through the wash clothe at his face.

" Gee Aunt Lor, I never knew you were a violent person." Jess said innocently. Lorelai just looked back out the window to see Dean and Rory talking softly.

A/N: Yep! Hope you liked it! I was going to have the dreaded dinner, but it was coming out really long, so I guess you're just going to have to wait and see. Sorry, lol I know I am evil. My friends do call me Satan. It's an inside joke I will inform you of later on.
