A/N sorry this wasn't as interesting a chapter, but it'll get better as they get to thanksgiving time, The more you review the more I update!
Rory spent the week at Yale, working hard, having some fun, and trying to keep Paris from loosing the last bit of sanity that she had left. Paris had met a guy, at that party she went to. They went out for a few weeks and he invited her to his house for Thanksgiving. She was very excited to go, but of course terrified at the same time. Rory attempted to calm her down, but 10 minutes later, Rory realized it was hopeless, and sat down in her room, to think about her own Thanksgiving plans. She was spending the evening at Luke's, but she had that whole week off, so of course she was trying to make plans with Dean. But when she called him, she found out he and his family was going to Rochester for the week to see their grandparents.
She finished off the week, a little bit less perky than usual. She really wanted to see him. But by Friday, she was feeling better, spending the week with Lorelai was never anything to complain about.
"Hey Mom." She called Lorelai, and said.
"Hey! Are you coming home for thanksgiving?"
"Nope. I thought I'd just stay here." Rory said.
"What? But we always-, you always-, Luke wants you to-"
"Calm down. Of course I'm coming!"
"Never do that to your poor, old mother!"
"I'll be there Monday afternoon, and I'm all yours. Dean's in NY for the week."
"Good, and Luke will be cooking from Tuesday night on. We can go dress shopping!"
"Okay, Mom. See you soon!"
"Bye, Rory!"
When Rory walked into the house, it looked like a tornado had hit. Lorelai, had never been a tidy person, but Rory had never seen the place like this! "It must be stuff for the wedding" Rory thought.
Lorelai walked down the stairs, carrying even more junk, sample menus, magazines, colors for flowers, tablecloths and more. She looked over towards Rory, "Hey."
"You look horrible." Rory said.
"I haven't slept in 2 days."
"Ugh, I guess I came just in time. What do you need help with?"
"I can do it myself."
"Mom….. you know how stubborn you are now come on, hand over something."
"Fine." Lorelai gave in. She handed Rory the flower options and said, "I circled my favorite two, but I can't decide. I'd do them both but they don't match. Just choose one, please!"
Rory knew her mom must really be freaking out. She always was indecisive when it came to simple decisions, like this. She drove Luke crazy, when she kept changing her mind for wallpaper/paint colors. But Rory had never seen her mom let someone else take over. She chose the pink hibiscus, and sat her mom down on the couch. "Put in a movie, and rest you can start working again tomorrow." For once, Lorelai was too tired to argue, and she fell asleep within the 1st 10 minutes, of one of her favorite shows, Party of Five.
Then Rory began straightening up the mess. She ordered a pizza, so that by the time Lorelai woke up it would be cold, just the way her mom liked it. Luke came home around 5:00. Rory said, "Shhhhh…" As he walked in the door.
"How long has she been asleep."
"Since 1:30."
"Yeah, I tried to get her to sleep last night but she was too excited about all of the wedding plans, but 2 in the morning, excited turned into stressed."
"There's Pizza in the kitchen."
"Take a break, Rory. I don't want you to fall apart like your mother." Luke said.
"Thanks," said Rory and she went up to her room.
When Lorelai awoke, she saw Luke and realized how long she'd been sleeping. "Oh my gosh! Luke, I have been asleep for hours, I have so much to do!"
"Not tonight, you don't." Luke insisted. Lorelai smiled at him. He knew, that together with Luke and Rory's help, Lorelai would make a full recovery.
