Disclaimer: I still don't own Gilmore Girls..
an: again thanks to everybody who took time to read and review.
I am skeptic about this chapter. It was more difficult to write that i thought it would be, so I really hope that I didn't let you guys down...
without any further ado
here goes...
Still Emily POV
- what? - I ask my granddaughter
- I think I heard that name before...
- of course you did, dear, Vivi is famous... - oh Richard, now I really may have to strangle you, I hate that name "Vivi..."
- no, I mean, I think I heard it from someone... - DAR of course
- who? - Lorelai asks
- Jess – now where did I hear that name...
- Jess...Jess, Luke's nephew, Jess? - ah the hoodlum
- yeah
- but...why would Jess know Vivienne Anderson? - I ask now, particularly ticked by this
- I think I remember him saying that she was her aunt...- what?
- don' be ridiculous, she cannot be Jess's aunt! - I answer her... no she cannot be...
- grandma, I don't remember the conversation exactly, but I distinctly remember him saying her name...
- Rory, this is ridiculous, the Anderson 's are a very wealthy family, and I am sure that you are mistaking Vivienne, with someone else...-
- yeah, maybe you are right... so... mom you were saying before the drama broke loose...
As I watch my daughter, I can read exactly what went through in Boston. I knew when she bolted out of here like her life depended on it. A part of me, is sad, the society part, mind you. The dream of the happy family gone, and not only. I was dreaming for Lorelai the wrong family, i know now. And although I would take out my own arm, before admitting it, in a way I liked Luke...
- Rory from now on me and you father are over, from any point of you... - as I look at Lorelai, I see relief in her face, Richard is rather satisfied with it, and Rory... Rory is breaking into the first smile that I have seen, in the last two weeks, and if I had any doubt, about my choice to support Lorelai, now I don't have any. As Rory hugs Lorelai strongly, I look at Richard, and I know one hundred per cent that we made the right decision...
Dragonfly Inn
Vivi POV
I am sitting on this dining room, wanting to find something wrong with it, like my mother would have, but I can't. This just frustrated me. This room has no doubt it's own atmosphere. A part of me is proud, that Luke, took an active financial part on this, the other part of me, just want to shake the girl... After nine or ten years of friendship and respect that my nephew gave her... aah I have to calm down, I am here only for the projects that's all...yeah right!
Full of people, I tell you one crazier than the others. I really find myself unable to tolerate that french man, and his pronounce, it's just give me an headache. And the bouncing chef. God how enthusiastic a woman can be for a cup of tea! It's just ridiculous.
As I make my way towards the center of Stars Hollow, memories brings me to when I first walked in this crazy town.
When I arrive at destination, I look up, and see Lucas discussing things with a man, I think is the construction company coordinator...
- Lucas!
- Aunt Vivi? What are you doing here? - he asks me coming to me to give me a hug! I have kinda the impression, that he is not all that surprised to see me here...
- oh well, I didn't have any pressing things to do at home and I thought why don't I came and visit Lucas, seeing how he is as he never came visits me? Is everything OK with me being here, isn't it?
- Yes of course, but now I have got a problem...
- what's the matter?
- I don't have electricity in the building anymore – now that is the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard!
- how is that possible?
- aah... Mrs? - who is this?
- Anderson, Luke's aunt!
- Well Mrs. Anderson there was a mistake and...
- and mistakenly you cut my nephew 's electricity? - unbelievable!
- Yeah... - i am speechless at the gull of this man...
- how long do you think it's gonna be Tom? - Lucas is getting angry I know and it is still fun to watch...
- Two weeks, three at the latest, i promise – he answer the man
- for only the electricity, Tom you promised me that...
- I know Luke, don't worry, it is our mistake... I am going to pay
- it's not about money, it's about when I can reopen the diner, or maybe where is that I have to make April live in the meantime? Tom I don't know if you have realized this or not but I live here...solve this and QUICKLY! - as Luke's stop to take a breathe and the man run away like a scowled little boy. Oh he's just like Will...
- WOW you were the man ah? - I say trying not to laugh...
- Aunt Vivi...
- I know it is not funny... how bout the house? - gosh, that wonderful and beautiful house... it is time that Luke come home...
- What?
- Don't you think it's time that you go live in that house?
- It's so big...
- I know, but you are not alone, are you? You got your daughter! - I thinks for a couple of minutes and ...
- Yes, it's time... you know I left it in the exact same way as dad left it, and the tenants that were there didn't really change anything and...
- let's go take a look... shell we? - as we move to the other side of the street, I see Miss Patty looking over at us. As she wave us, I wave back, knowing the news of my arrival will catch people all round Stars Hollow, faster than I can say my own name...
Lorelai POV
Stars Hollow
Rory decided to go back to Yale apparently, or to Logan. I do prefer to think that it's the Yale reason. It is no secret that I really don't like the guy. Too much like Chris if you ask me. But I am not the one who has to like him. I know I did my best, with Rory, and now it is her that has to think what is the best for herself. I just really hope that she doesn't end up, like Logan's mother.
My parents, well surprise of all the surprises: this week end really was something to be remembered. I am feeling strange about the whole thing with them, and now I find myself waiting for the other shoes to drop.
As I park my car in front of the crap shack I see Babette peaking into one of her bay windows. I know that in a minute, all the people in stars hollow will know that I am home.
Entering my living room, the memories of three days ago hit me like the infamous tons of brick. I had decided to reunite all Luke's things and send them over to him... I even written the address on it, because, yes, I was going to mail it. Do I have the courage to go and see him? Can I really fight for him?
As I open the box, I know what I am about to do. I replace Luke's things, on every designated place that he found for himself. When I am done, I sit on this new couch... and I think that this cannot stay. I made out with Chris on this, and even sitting on it, it brings me shame. I know that tomorrow, I'll bring it back to the store. I sit on the loveseat near the window, and look around: for the first time I finally am feeling home.
Narrator POV
after a long couple of days, Lorelai decide to prepare herself a very much deserved bath, when the home phone ring...
- hello? - she answer trying to balance the fresh washcloths and the phone
- Lorelai, Lorelai Lorelai?
- Sookie?
- Lorelai! Lorelai!
- what are you on? what did you do? - she say as she drop all of the fresh washcloths.
- Oh Lorelai you are so funny! Guess what?
- Sookie, I don't have time to guess what I am about to take a bath... what is it?
- OK...OK... Vivienne Anderson is staying in our inn!
- What?
- Yes, I know, that's the same reaction that I had.. isn't that incredible, oh the publicity!
- Sookie calm down Will you? Aren't you the energizer bunny today?
- I am sorry Lorelai I am just so exited, and believe it or not so is Michele!
- OK, can you hold down the fort until I come there? I got news to tell you!
- OK, when you'll be here?
- In hour is that fine?
- OK
As Lorelai sat on the bed, and look at the phone, she thinks back at her father remark: indeed what an interesting game of cards. As she asks herself, what are the odds for that to happens, she shake her head and make her way towards the bathroom.
A bath, that's what she needed, in this very slow and boring Saturday night. A million question, were dancing in her mind, as well as the scenario. Should she approach him like nothing had happened, or just find a way to talk to him, without pressuring him and apologizing profusely. A lot of good did that the last time that they fought. It was not gonna change things, but sure as hell she was gonna try like her life depended on it.
After the bath and getting dressed, she makes her way bravely towards the dragonfly inn. As she turns the corner of the inn street, she notices Miss Patty trying to get her attention...
- Lorelai? Oh God, are you in a hurry today... - she tell as she was trying to catches her breath... - I am a old woman, not so inclined to run all over Stars Hollow anymore!
- Oh I am sorry Patty, I didn't notice you, it's something wrong?
- Oh no dear nothing is wrong, I just wanted to tell you the latest gossip...
- you run to tell me the latest gossip?
- I know a little extreme but you know me... anyway apparentely, tom messed up big time!
- What?
- you know he was doing the renovations and the fixing for Luke right?
- Rory told me that, yes!
- Well tom cut him the electrical wires, and now poor boy is even without electricity, you know?
- Oh, well Patty I am sure that Luke will know how to fix this too, is very good at fixing you know, so I really thing there is nothing to worry about, because you know it's Luke and... I am bubbling aren't I ? - Miss Patty was always a very intelligent woman, despite what somebody thought, and if this conversation, was any indication, than things were getting good, the the two Stars Hollow residents stars crossed lovers-
- I know dear, but that's not all, guess who made her way to Stars Hollow For the first time in almost fifteen years?
- Who?
- Luke's aunt, you know his mother sister. I think she's here for the diner you know she's an architect!
- Well good for Luke... Patty I have to go. Got a meeting with Sookie see you later OK? - after that Lorelai made her way to the Inn.
Entering the foyer, she sees Michele and Sookie discussing something, at a table into the dining room. As she makes her way over to them, Sookie notices her and wave at her to came and talk.
- Michele, get lost! - Sookie say to Michele, after seeing Lorelai 's face-
- But...
- Michele, please, can I talk to Sookie in private, you know, woman's things! - as Lorelai said that, Michele scurried to the foyer to answer the phone. Sookie got up with a smirk on her face, and took Lorelai into the kitchen.
- So what is the news?
- right... it was an interesting couple of days to say the least!
- why?
- Oh well, the usual, you know, Rory yelling at me and Chris, my parents throwing him out, my parents being supportive of my choices, me sleeping into my old room, without having an aneurysm, and the icing on the cake, breaking up, definitely with Christopher... out of my life was the tone that I used... and of course Vivienne Anderson, apparently she's mom archenemy since high school … how was you day?
- ah... you...you...it's over? I mean between you and Chris?
- Yes
- OVER? Really? – she asked with an hint of hope
- yep...
- oh my God, oh my God, look at you, ready to take over the world!
- Hm the world I don't know, maybe next week, but for now, my life only...
- oh thanks heavens, I thought you were lost forever... well welcome back Home, and Luke won't know what hit him right?
- Luke has no idea... I don't know how, but I think that from now on everything will go fine...
Gilmore Mansion
Hartford
Emily's pov
- Delia, can you please run to the post office? I have this to mail quickly!
-Yes of course ma'am... - she answer
- and Delia do you know where my Husband is?
- In his study I believe, Mrs. Gilmore!
- Thank you Delia – as I look to her running out of the house, I think that I actually like the woman.
- Richard? Richard? - I call him through the door of the study
- come in Emily, now where is that I put it? - he says as he's searching for something...
- what are you searching for, you are making a mess!
- I don't care about the mess, this is more important, Emily!
- Oh I am sorry, I...- I try to teas him
- ah found it...
- found what?
- My password, for the public financial records.
- Is it legal?
- not really
- and what do you intend to do with that?
- Satisfying my curiosity?- as I look at him, I know exactly at what is referring to. I refuse to believe such thing!
- Richard you cannot believe...
- sh Emily, it's loading and... – as I lean over I see a bunch of numbers on the computer screen, but what gets me it's the name that I read on the record. I think that I am going to pass out. I can't believe this. As Richard looks at me, I go immediately for the phone, really without doing much thinking. As I hear the dial tone, a nervousness posses me, as I harshly demand into the phone...
- Lorelai you get over here right now, it's important. - Without waiting for an answer I hung up. I don't even remember Richard getting up, but I find myself sitting in his chair, as I stare at the blinking letters...
Stars Hollow
Luke's POV
Well today was a surprise. Aunt Vivi showing up, oh I knew. Uncle George called me, in panic, saying that she was coming. I am sure, that she did make publicity of her presents just to make sure to disrupt any plans that Emily Gilmore might have. On her visit today she told me things, that happened so many years ago, that really it seems surreal. Who would have thought. With April with me starting Monday, I am moving to the old house, and only now, I feel at peace with the past. If going home literally, was the cure, I should have done that years ago. I though that the memories would overwhelm me, instead I found myself being very comfortable. After aunt Vivi went back to the Inn, my God She's staying at the dragonfly, she promised not to do anything, but well she's known for exaggerate things, I started packing my things, for now only essentials clothes, toiletries, and some important documents... etc
As I make the last trip to load the truck, I feel someone standing behind my back watching me. As I turn round Lorelai is there, clutching a piece of paper...
- Do you mind explaining what is the meaning of this?
well, what do you think? like it? hate it?
