Chapter 3

Emily Gilmore is positively outraged by her granddaughter's abrupt exit from the church Sunday afternoon. Since that horrid embarrassment, she has been trying to provide an explanation to her peers as to why her granddaughter would be stupid enough to throw away the chance of marrying into one of the most prestigious families in Hartford. To be quite honest she is having trouble explaining it to herself. Rory was supposed to be the one to rescue the Gilmore name from the disgrace her mother had buried it under but she has only succeeded in digging deeper hole. One thing is for sure however, she is done watching Rory dig. Rory isn't going turn into Lurelai if she has anything to say about it

Emily is now standing outside of the Crap Shack (Lurelai's house.) pounding persistently on the door.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

"Hey, whoever you are! When I open this door you are going to PAY! I HATE RUNNING HEELS AND NOW THANKS TO YOU I'LL HAVE BLISTERS ON MY FEET FOR A MONTH!!!" Emily could hear Lurelai scream from the other side of the door.

"Alright, you. You better be ready to ru-- Mom?!" She is shocked to see her mother standing at her door. She rarely comes to the house. It's too beneath her. "What are you doing here?"

"Where is she?" Emily demands pushing passed her daughter.

"What? Who?"

The elder Gilmore precedes to storm though the house.

"MOM! What are you doing?!"

She doesn't answer she just continues opening doors and then slamming them shut.

"MOM!"

Without turning Emily angrily growls, "If that ungrateful daughter of yours thinks she can get away with this she is very sadly mistaken!"

RJRJRJRJRJRJRJRJ

"If that ungrateful daughter of yours thinks she can get away with this she is very sadly mistaken!"

It's this that greets Rory as she enters through the back door on her return home from the bridge.

"Grandma?" Her voice is barely above a whisper because she is weak from crying. Yet again

As inaudible as it is however, it does not go unnoticed by Emily.

"Rory, there you are! I think it's about time you explained yourself young lady your behavior on Sunday was shameful!

"Mom… Please… Not this. Not now." Lurelai interjects pleadingly.

"Stay out of this Lurelai it's your fault she behaved as she did. God help her. She took after you!"

"Grandma… Stop… Please."

"And as for you," Emily continues ignoring Rory's pleas. "How could you? Do you take pleasure in bringing such utter humiliation upon this family? Logan was such respectable match for you! Why? Why did you choose to throw such a precious privilege away so frivolously? How can I possibly make amends for such idiocy?! It would be a miracle if he still wanted to be seen with you let alone be willing to reinstate the engagement!"

"HE CHEATED ON ME GRANDMA!" Rory exclaims bursting into fresh sobs. "HE CHEATED ON ME THE NIGHT BEFORE OUR WEDDING WITH A HIGH SOCIETY WHORE!"

"So?" Emily replies icily. "Let me be the first to remind you my dear that you lost your virginity to a married man. No human is perfect."

It is now that Luke, who had accompanied Rory home from the bridge (again), decides to speak up.

"With all due respect Mrs. Gilmore, I believe it's about time you left." He states with a false calmness which could falter any second.

"This is none of your business, Luke." She hisses.

"Oh but you are mistaken Mrs. Gilmore. This involves the two people care for most in this world and when anything involves them it becomes my business. Do we understand each other?"

"Very well… I'm leaving for now but this is not over!" Emily says slamming the door behind her.

"GOD! I can't stand my mother!!! Every time she comes into this house she insists on leaving it like a hurricane just blew through!" Lurelai says turning to her grief stricken daughter who has taken refuge in Luke's arms.

"Thanks again, Luke for stepping up like always."

"Lurelai, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure Luke." She replies motioning towards the living room.

"Hey, Ror you gonna be okay alone for a while?"

Rory looks up at Luke and nods weakly. Luke kisses the top of her head before releasing her from his grip and following behind Lurelai.

Once in the living room Luke is the first to speak.

"She can't stay here Lor."

"What do you mean? This is her home of course She stay!

"NO SHE CAN'T LURELAI! FOR GOD'S SAKE! DIDN'T YOU SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Luke exclaims frustrated.

Lurelai doesn't reply she just waits for Luke to continue.

"Look Lurelai, I know she's your daughter and you care about her. Hell I do too but this place holds too many reminders. You can't expect her heal if everything she sees and hears refuses to let her forget."

"What do you suggest then?" asks Lurelai, her helpless eyes downcast to the floor.

"Jess is willing to take her."

Lurelai's head snaps up. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is hanging open.

"WHAT?!!! NO FUKING WAY AM I GOING TO LEAVE THE FATE OF MY DAUGHTER'S HEART IN HIS HANDS!!! NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL!!!"

"He's changed Lor."

"Like Hell He's Changed!!

"Lurelai have you ever wondered what it was that made Rory come back after that fight you two had? You never even stopped question it did you?"

"I…"

"If Jess hadn't come to see her in Harford to show her his book you and Rory would still not be speaking to each other. He talked sense into her Lurelai. He was the one that made her realize she needed to come back home. You owe Jess a lot more credit than you're giving him."

Lurelai sits in shock as Luke's words sink in.

"He… He fixed her?"

Luke nods in confirmation.

"I need air."

"Don't worry everything's under control here." Luke says helping her off the couch, "I'm just gonna help Rory get packed?" This comes more as a question then a statement.

Yeah… um… yeah… y… you go ahead and do that." Says a still overwhelmed Lurelai as she heads out the door.
