Chapter 9: Monday nights and Tuesday Fights

It was already Monday, and Lorelai was having Rory over to the Inn for a little sleepover.

"Hey Lorelai." Rory smiled as her and Luke walked into the lobby of the hotel.

"Hey sweetie." Lorelai hugged her and then pulled away to say hi to Luke.

"Hey babe." Lorelai leaned in to kiss him on the lips.

Luke pulled away and smiled. "So are you sure about this?" he asked Lorelai.

"Of course. We're going to have a great time. Right Ror?" Lorelai asked Rory as she helped her pick up her bag.

"Yep." Rory nodded. "You can go now Dad. Me and Lorelai have women stuff to talk about." Rory told him seriously.

"Women stuff, eh?" Luke smiled. Rory nodded.

"Okay. Well, I will see you tomorrow afternoon and then we can help Lorelai move into her new apartment." Luke hugged his daughter.

"Aw Dad, why can't Lorelai just move in with us?" She asked.

"Because I need a place of my own for awhile." Lorelai jumped in not wanting to put Luke into any pressure.

"Oh." Rory said. "Well let's go Lorelai." Rory pulled her away from her Dad.

"What, no good-bye-kiss?" Luke asked Lorelai shrugged.

"Guess not." Lorelai shrugged as she waved good-bye as Rory pulled her away.

"So, what do you want to do?" Lorelai asked Rory when they put their bag down. Rory shrugged.

"You hungry?" Lorelai asked.

"Definitely." Rory nodded eagerly.

"Okay monkey, let's go find something in the kitchen." Lorelai led Rory out of the room and to the kitchen.

"Lorelai…" Rory whispered. "We can't just go in there, it's not allowed." Rory told her.

"You are forgetting my best friend is the chef." Lorelai laughed

"True, but it's really late and they are all probably gone home." Rory told her.

Lorelai smiled and held up a key. "Sookie told me she left some snacks for us in there."

"Awesome." Rory giggled

"So what's your mom like?" Rory asked Lorelai as they sat on the bed in the room eating cake.

"My mom is great. She is like my best friend." Lorelai told her.

"But I am your number one bestest friend, Right?" Rory asked smiling.

"Of course." Lorelai tickled her a bit. "You are my number one."

"So, why didn't you keep your baby?" Rory asked.

"I was 16, and so young. I didn't want my baby being brought up in a household with no father. I wanted my baby to have a happy family. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen." Lorelai told her. "So, I did what was best for her." Lorelai smiled sadly.

"Do you ever think about her?" Rory asked with her head tilted to the side.

"All the time." Lorelai replied honestly.

"Do you think all birth mothers who give their baby up for adoption think of their kids?" Rory asked.

"I am pretty sure." Lorelai smiled.

"I hope so. I wonder what my parents look like." Rory thought to herself.

Lorelai looked at her confused. "Your parents?"

"My birth parents" Rory told her seriously.

"Birth Parents?" Lorelai was beyond confused.

"Didn't anyone tell you that Dad adopted me?" Rory asked

"No." Lorelai shook her head.

Rory nodded. "Yep. When I was three or so." Rory smiled.

"Wow. I had no idea." Lorelai said in awe.

"Yep. I met him at the Zoo, and I guess it went from there." Rory shrugged.

"That's so weird. I mean, you two act exactly alike sometimes." Lorelai smiled.

"Well, I have lived with him for years and years, so that might have some sort of thing to do with it." Rory said drastically.

Lorelai laughed. "Let's watch a movie." Lorelai suggested. "Your choice."

"Ferris!" Rory exclaimed.

"Nice taste." Lorelai smiled as she dug in a suitcase to find the movie.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Come on Ror. We're going to be late." Lorelai told Rory who was putting her hair in a ponytail.

"My hair keeps messing up." Rory pouted. "I hate it!" She muttered.

"It's beautiful." Lorelai smiled. "Come here. How about I put it in a French braid?" Lorelai asked.

Rory nodded enthusiastically. Lorelai patted the bed, motioning Rory to go sit down in front of her.

"Where'd you learn how to do braids like these?" Rory asked.

"My mom taught me when I was younger." Lorelai smiled.

"Wow. Can you teach me sometime?" Rory asked.

"Sure." Lorelai smiled as she finished it up.

"All done. Now let me finish putting on my make up and we can meet my mother in the lobby.

"Okay." Rory followed Lorelai into the bathroom and watched her put on her make-up.

There was a knock at the door, and Lorelai sighed. "Want to get that for me, Ror?" Lorelai asked.

"Sure." Rory hopped to the door and opened it to reveal a red headed older lady.

"Well, Hello." Emily said smiling at the little girl. It was like going back in time and staring at a young Rory. It shocked her for a second but she pulled herself together.

"You must be Rory." Emily smiled.

"Yes ma'am, and you must be Mrs. Gilmore." Rory smiled as she shook her hand.

"Call me Emily." Emily told her with a warm smile. Rory nodded shyly.

"Where's Lorelai?" Emily asked.

"Bathroom." Rory sighed. "She was rushing me, and now she's not even the one ready." Rory rolled her eyes.

"Oh dear, sounds like Lorelai." Emily joked.

"So… Rory is such an interesting name." Emily sat down on the small couch that was in the room.

"Well, it's actually a nickname my friend gave me when we were younger. It kinda stuck, I guess. My real name is Lorelai, just like Lorelai." Rory giggled.

"Well, it's a good thing your nickname is Rory, because it would surely get confusing, don't you think?"

"I think so." Rory grinned.

Lorelai walked out of the bathroom and smiled.

"Well I see you two met." Lorelai smiled. "Let's go to the Kim's." Lorelai suggested.

"Yes!" Rory grinned.

"Her bestest friend's, Lane's, Mom owns the shop." Lorelai filled in for Emily.

"Ah. I see." Emily nodded as they walked out of the Inn.

"Well, Lane isn't my bestest friend. She is, but Lorelai's my number one, but I have to say, Lane is a close second." Rory grinned up at Lorelai, who in return pulled her into a side hug and left her arm around the girl while they walked through town. Emily watched the exchange and noticed how similar they looked. Emily couldn't help but wonder, but knew there was absolutely no way it could be possible. It was just a one in a million chance, but the smile, and the eyes. They were the exact replicas of Rory's. Emily shook away her thoughts when they arrived at the Antique shop.

"Hey, Lorelai, can I go run up and say hi to Lane?" Rory asked with pleading bambi eyes.

"Sure, hon." Lorelai smiled.

Rory grinned and ran up the stairs as Emily and Lorelai walked around downstairs.

"So what do you think of her mom?" Lorelai grinned. "She's pretty great, right?"

Emily turned around and looked around the room to make sure nobody was there.

"She is great…" Emily trailed off. "She is beautiful…"

"What is it mom?" Lorelai asked with concern eyes.

"She looks exactly like you when you were younger." Emily told her.

"No she doesn't." Lorelai laughed as she shook her head.

"She has your smile." Emily countered. "She has your eyes, your sense of humor, and your pout." Emily added.

"Mom, what are you getting at?" Lorelai stopped laughing and looked at her mother in concern.

"Isn't it strange that she looks exactly like you, isn't it strange that she is also 8 years old and her name is Lorelai. What are the odds of this Lorelai; at first I didn't believe it, but now. It's just plain obvious. Lorelai isn't a very common name." Emily told her daughter.

Lorelai shook her head. "You are being ridiculous Mom, it's not her. You are, just being plain crazy. My baby girl is probably not anywhere near here." Lorelai shook her head.

"Why do you always have to be so damn thick-headed Lorelai? The signs are right there staring at you in the face." Emily hissed in a hushed whisper.

"You're the one coming up with crazy scenarios that aren't true. Stop. Just stop." Lorelai cried softly.

"I am trying to protect you, Lorelai." Emily told her.

"From what, Mother?" Lorelai asked getting frustrated.

"If this girl is your daughter, and Luke finds out and Rory finds out, it's going to cause chaos in their life and they don't need that. They don't deserve that." Emily told her daughter softly as she pulled her into a corner. "Just leave them be."

Lorelai turned her head as tears filled her eyes. "Are you saying they deserve more than me?" Lorelai asked.

"Lorelai, imagine how confusing it would be for a young girl to have her father date this amazing women, and then actually find out she is her birth mother, and then she gets confused as to why her birth mother is here, and not her birth father. Then, when Chris comes along, Lorelai, she is bound to meet him, and imagine how Luke will feel when the birth parents of his daughter come into the picture. He is going to feel un-needed and replaced." Emily told her daughter.

"Well, we don't have to worry about that, because she is not my daughter, and I won't ever see my daughter again. So stop it." Lorelai cried letting the tears fall.

"Hey Lorelai." Rory called from the doorway of the room.

"Yeah, Hon?" Lorelai asked wiping her tears away quickly.

"I'm kind of hungry, can we go to Dad's now?" She asked.

"Sure." Lorelai pushed past her mother and led Rory out of the room while Emily just followed behind.

They trio entered the Diner, which wasn't really too packed and sat at a table.

"Hey, Lorelai you okay?" Rory asked noticing Lorelai's red puffy face and the sudden tension between her and her mom.

"I'm fine." Lorelai put on a fake smiled. Luke noticed Lorelai's expression from the counter and came up behind her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey." Lorelai fake smiled.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." Lorelai nodded looking over at her mother who was silently looking through the menu.

"Okay…" Luke pulled out a pad. "So what can I get you three?" He asked.

Rory began telling him her order as Lorelai watched her and continued to notice how similar they looked, but it couldn't be possible.

Lorelai shook her head. "No." Lorelai told herself. "Your mother is being psycho."

Emily reached across the table and squeezed Lorelai's hand. Lorelai looked up with teary eyes.

"Excuse me." Lorelai pushed away her seat and walked out of the Diner.

"Is she alright?" Luke asked.

"She's fine." Emily told him with a smile. "I will take a Caesar Salad." He nodded and walked away, but followed Lorelai out the door.

"So, Rory. When's your birthday?" Emily asked with a smile.

"August 15." She grinned. "I am so excited to be nine…" Rory continued talking about her new change in age that was soon to come, but Emily was frozen in her seat. Rory's words were going in one ear and out the other. She couldn't comprehend anything, all she heard was August 15, and that's all she needed to hear.

Luke chased after Lorelai.

"Hey. Hey." Luke pulled her back into his embrace as she hugged him.

"I can't do this to you Luke." Lorelai cried into his chest. "I can't."

"Do what?" Luke asked.

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You're not going to." Luke kissed her forehead.

"I will, I will ruin everything, Luke. I am so sorry. I… didn't know." Lorelai cried.

"What's going on?" He asked. Lorelai just shook her head.

He gently pulled her away from his body so he could look her in the eye.

"Listen to me. I don't know what is going on, but you aren't going to hurt me. You have to believe that everything will work out, and so far they have. I am falling for you Lorelai, so don't you think for a second that you can get away from me. I'm not letting go of you that easily." Luke grinned.

Lorelai leaned into him and nodded. He kissed the top of her head.

"How about you go back to the Inn and get a little rest and we can help you move in tonight?" Luke asked.

"Sounds good." Lorelai whispered.

"Tell my mom I didn't feel good." Lorelai said as she pulled away and walked off.

Luke walked back into the Diner to find Emily and Rory talking. Rory doing most of the talking.

"Lorelai didn't feel too good, so she went back to the Inn." Luke told Emily.

"Oh. Well, I better be going too, then. " Emily got up from the table and walked out.

Emily knocked on Lorelai's room door, and Lorelai answered it in a couple minutes.

All her stuff was packed and everything.

"I see your packing." Emily noted. Lorelai nodded.

"So you are leaving?" Emily asked.

"No, mom. I'm not leaving." Lorelai said getting mad. "Just because you seem to think you know everything, doesn't mean you actually do. I am pretty sure you are wrong about this." Lorelai told her. "I'm getting ready to move into my apartment, that I am renting, because I'm staying here."

"Lorelai, listen to me." Emily told her strongly. "Rory's birthday is August 15th, now you can either believe that it is true, or keep living in denial." Emily said as she walked away leaving a stunned Lorelai at the door.

Lorelai closed the door and leaned against it and slid down and cried.

She couldn't decide what to do. Tell Luke and just work through it, not tell Luke and act like she doesn't know and continue everything as it was, or run. She was used to running away. That's what she was known for, but this time she wasn't going to. She loved Luke.

That's when it hit her. "She loved Luke." And this new realization threw her into another round of tears.
