Disclaimer: I still don't own Gilmore Girls
Thanks everybody who took time to read and review. It really gave me your insight on what I am writing.
Without wasting any time...here goes!
LUKE'S POV
Stars Hollow
Luke's diner
Boxes...boxes everywhere. God will I ever have this place back. The furniture, is completely ruined, even the the shelf, where my dad had written the order. Everything, is in shambles. I look around, and I think, that if the twilight zone, is a reality, than I am in the middle of it. The kitchen, well is still the kitchen, but hearing, my lawyer and my insurance company, it was better for the whole town, and myself, to just renovate, without trying to fix something, and then in all possibility, the diner couldn't be opened to the public for safety reason. So I choked my pride, and I called my aunt... an architect, and I told her what I needed. She was, strangely happy to help me out. Usually she would have made a case, about how, I should behave like the rich and wealthy man that I was and not be ashamed of it, that there was nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong in calling the best people... But right about now I don't feel all that wealthy or rich...
if nothing else I have April. Oh fatherhood, I never thought...
BANG
- what was that? Tom? What was that? - I ask alarmed... well you try to live the same experience that I have, a car entered my diner from the bay window, and not any car, but...Taylor's car, for heaven's sake! I find myself being a little jumpy!
- Nothing – he answer a little unsure, I can feel it in his voice.
- nothing? That was a bang, a bang it's not nothing... I am coming up!
- Luke, if you don't let us work, we will not be able to finish! give me and my guys space please? - Tom came down the stairs, and now is talking to me like I am a three year old
- But...
- Luke leave me alone, I know what I am doing ok? Trust me
- OK, but don't destroy this place, do you hear me? - and he's gone up the stairs again.
It's been almost two weeks, and the hole on the wall it's still there. I know that Taylor is afraid, of coming to the shop. I think Albert, my lawyer, scared him more than anybody else. I know that Kirk is lurking around here somewhere. I am being spied in my own property. Unbelievable. This town is crazy, and it's no a theory, it's a fact. Every one treats me like I am a bomb about to explode. God... well I am not. I refuse to be. Not one nor five Lorelai Gilmore will make me lose focus now. I have joint custody of April finally, and I am healthy that should count for something...
BANG
- you've got to be kidding me, what the hell are you doing up here, are those ,my electrical wires? - I ask as I see them sticking out, of one of the carrying walls... I turn to Tom, who apologetically answer
- they were...
- what, and now I don't have electricity? TOM...
Gilmore Mansion
Lorelai POV
God, I am in my bed, at my parent's house. I almost expect my mother to barge into this room, to tell me to get up, and yelling at me to tie this room up.
I feel strangely relaxed tough. And if nothing else, I know exactly what I have to do... and...
- Miss Gilmore? are you awake, your mother want you down for breakfast! - the maid said through the door.
- I'll be down in ten minutes! – I yell
- that's fine, I 'll tell your mother...
then I know that Delia went down. Some things never changes.
As I decent the stairs, the scene is almost surreal. Rory is not here, probably still sleeping, and now I am alone with my parents. I almost expect the other shoe to drop, when I sit down. As I bid good morning my parents, I know that they want to say something...
- Lorelai you have to take the matter into your own hands, you cannot seat back, and be overwhelmed by them – my dad tells authoritatively - if what you want, is Christopher, not that I believe for a second, but if that's who you want, than, we will support you no matter what – I am speechless now
- but if, as I believe you want Luke back, than we will support you also. You, Lorelai have to think, and decide, what you want out of life. It is time Lorelai, that you make a decision, because, if you don't all that you have gone through will be useless, OK? - well now I really am surprised. Who are this people and what happened to my parents...
- mom, dad I assure you to...
- this is not about our reassurance, this is about you. This is not a decision that you have to make for me or you father this is something that you have to decide for yourself...whatever you decide, for us, it's fine! Is this clear?- as I nod, mom and dad, seem to heave found a sense of satisfaction. I know in my heart what I have to do. Again I cannot, open a door, without closing, the other. And I have to close it, once and for all. I really do believe, god help me that my parents, this time are backing me up.
So finished breakfast, I excuse myself to the living room...
- hello?
- Chris, it's me
- Lor?
- Yes, we've got to talk, can I see you for lunch?
- I am in Boston Lorelai, can we make it to dinner instead, a romantic dinner?
- Chris it's very important, I 'll be there for lunch! - and I hung up, without waiting for an answer. Searching for my purse and my jacket, I bid goodbye, my parents, with the car keys, in my hand I prepare myself to go all the way to Boston.
When I arrive at Chris's apartment, I strangely feel my resolve, straightening. I park the care and I made my way up. When the door opens, the scene that it's presented to me, it could have weakened my resolve yesterday, but now, no disheveled Chris, will be in my way.
- Lor! You are here
- of course I am here, I called, what happened around here... - it was mess
- Gigi and her babysitter did a bit of a mess yesterday...
- it seems like the atomic bomb, have gone off... - I comment, trying to see where the couch was.
- So, everything is fine now, with Rory?
- No, Chris, everything is not fine with Rory! She...yesterday night, she was very upset, and not only with you, but with me also...and she was right...
- Lor, I really don't think that a child should...
- that's the point, Rory is not a child, this was not a tantrum that she was having...
- so you want to put her first, right?
- Chris she is OUR daughter, she should be first in everything!
- but...
- listen, you did nothing wrong OK, and yes this is, a kinda conversation with the phrase this is me, and not you...
- you're breaking up with me?
- I cannot be with someone, that I am not in love with! I can't. I've done it before, and it never works. I have made mistakes Chris, but this with us, this, really takes the cake.
- Luke will not have you back, you know? - he spats
- No, I don't,i don't know and I have to try, for Rory, but foremost for me, maybe he won't, it doesn't matter, because I will always love him...
- he lied to you, he didn't put you first and...
- he did, what he had to do, now I know... fight for your own child against everything, something that you never did, with Rory... I am sorry, but it's true..
- I proposed to you numbers of times...
- raising a child, Chris has nothing to do with being married with your partner, if he's not involved like he should ..
- but not like Luke...he did everything by the book, and I am a loser right? - and now there 's the bitterness
- no Chris, your not, and that's not why... I am not in love with you, I am not, your not in my mind like you should... I do care for you, you gave me Rory, but now, now... that's all that we will have Chris...
- Lor I don't think...
- you have to fix things with Rory, but not as a means to get me, but know your daughter, because you are slowly, but surely losing her.
- Lor, I did...
- ...everything that you could I know, but you will have to do better this time round – I say as I look, the Gigi picture, staying on the mantle.
- Please don't call me, please don't search for me, I am closing the door Chris, definitely this time – as I look at him, I know that I broke his heart, his face fallen, like a little kid, that had her favorite toy taken away from him, and that's why I never really taken him seriously.
As I close the door, behind me, exiting the building, I know that I feel now, better, a weigh as been lifted off my shoulders. As I make my way down to Hartford, I know, that everything is gonna be fine...
DRAGONFLY INN

- Michele what is it now...

HARTFORD
GILMORE MANSION
Emily' s pov
as I am sitting on my sofa, reading a magazine, I look at the corner of my eyes at Rory, discussing something with Logan on her cellphone. I know, that I pushed the relationship, between those two before, but now, with Lorelai 's situation, I don't want to make another mistake. If the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, than Logan cannot be far, from Mitch, I will have to investigate, discretely.
- Emily, Emily? - what is he yelling at now. Today he was really hyperactive as it seems, not that I didn't like, it brings me back, good memories, but I am not so young anymore...
- In the living room Richard!
- Is Lorelai back?
- Do you see her anywhere Richard, no, she's not back yet, but I wouldn't worry, I am sure that...Delia the door
- yes, Mrs Gilmore
-Richard stop fidgeting, you are making me...
- hey everybody
- Lorelai? - as I look at her I see finally my daughter, she's back, and I couldn't be happier. I know that I was proved wrong, but right about now, I don't care. As Rory enter the Living room, she launches herself, to hug Lorelai, and I cannot help being a little bit overwhelmed, by the scene.
As Lorelai sit down, ready to tell the events that took her here, the doorbell is ringing again. As I make the call for Delia, I swear I heard her mumble under her breath, about this house being like a freeway.
As I turn round to hear what Lorelai had to say...
- Emily? Emily?
- Jackie, what are you doing here? – Jackie is on of my best friends since college, so something really important must have happened for her to behave this way.
- Hello Richard, Rory, good to see you again.. Lorelai...Emily, we have a very big problem, with the DAR!
- what happened?
- Remember last year, with that committee the Greenwich one, how was it called... ah never mind do you what happened to that?
- Of course I know, the queen Vivienne Anderson closed it, for "irregularities" why? - that name, I feel my skin crawl.
- She's here –
- what? - here as in Hartford.?
- yes she is, so what did you do Emily?
- Me, what I did?
- Yes you, which feet did you step on now?
- I didn't step on anybody's feet recently and you know it!. - I cannot believe this!
- they call you the cobra, and they call you that, not for nothing, we have to do something!
- No – I am perfectly capable, of playing her game this time round...so bring it on- we will not do anything, waiting is the word, right?
- OK, you're right – as she looks around, she seems only now to understand that she in fact interrupted a family moment, and with an apologetic look excuses herself– I am so sorry for this, I really I am, Richard, Lorelai, Rory, Emily, please forgive me...
- do not be ridiculous, it's fine, really – as she seems satisfied, she bid goodbye, as I return to sit in the sofa. The family atmosphere gone, as now I am thinking, what that woman is doing here.
- Vivi, is here?
- Yes Richard she is!
- Well now this will be an interesting game of cards.. - oh Richard, how I would like to strangle you right now. This is not good!
- I don't understand, who is she? - Oh Lorelai my nemesis from high school... I cannot tell her that...
- let's just that she is what your mother is for Hartford, Vivi is for the east coast... - and now Richard is biting me
- Richard this is not the time for your sense of humor, Vivienne Anderson, born Berger, posses the name Berger, which is the name, that every committees, has to bear in a way or another, in their coat of arms...-
- so she's like the boss – yes ...my daughter...she's back. As Richard is smirking at me , I continue and I notice Rory, assorted in her own thoughts – no, she controls that the committees don't do, something that could endanger the name. This is very important, Lorelai, there are regulations that you have to follow, if you want to be a part of the B GROUP and we always did and now... - I stop talking as I see Rory's eyes getting wide open in realization as she stand up...
- oh my god...
what do you think.? did you like it? Should I continue?
