The Long Lost Gilmore Girl
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GILMORE GIRLS, PERIOD.
Chapter 7: Getting Some Answers Part 1
The next morning, Lorelai is heading to her parents house in Hartford. She could not shake the feeling that something is off about Rory. 'Ok either that was an alternate universe Rory or that was not my daughter'. Lorelai thought to herself as she thinks about the various things Rory did and said to her last night.
As the Jeep pulls up to the mansion, Lorelai notices two other cars in the driveway. One is an very expensive car, and another car is a Honda Cicvic. 'I wonder who else is here'. Lorelai thought to herself as she presses the doorbell. It is not long that a maid answers the door. "Emily and Richard Gilmore are expecting me. I am their daughter". Lorelai said to the maid.
The maid nods as she lets Lorelai in the house. Lorelai walk towards the living room, and she is very surprised to see Chris's parents and a PI in the living room with Emily and Richard. "Mom, Dad, what are the Hayden's doing here"? Lorelai asks them.
Emily sighs as she looks at Lorelai. "They deserve the truth as much you do, Lorelai". Emily said to Lorelai. Richard nods in agreement. "That's why I called them here as well". Richard said to Lorelai.
Straub and Francine looks at Lorelai as she takes a seat on the couch. "Emily and Richard tells us that you own and run an inn". Straub said to Lorelai.
Lorelai nods to Straub as she remembers that Chris's father is not an easy man. "Yes, it is called The Dragonfly". Lorelai said to them. "You must have worked very hard to get where you are now". Francine said to Lorelai.
Lorelai looks at Francine and agrees. "Yes, it was not easy at all. If you two are here, is Christopher here as well? I thought this is about what happened to my younger daughter". Lorelai said to them.
Straub and Francine look at each other realizing that the Gilmores does not know. "Christopher passed away in a hit and run caused by a drunk driver, five years ago in Alabama of all places". Straub said to them.
This is shocking news to the Gilmores. It shocks Lorelai to her core because Chris is the father of Rory and her younger daughter. Emily and Richard are stunned by it as well like they truly did not know. "What, is the drunk driver in jail"? Richard asks them.
Francine looks at Richard and Emily. "Yes, I know our families has not been in the best places for the past 16 years, Lorelai. When Richard called us about hiring a PI about what truly happened to your second daughter, it is something that Christopher would have wanted". Francine said to Lorelai.
The PI looks at them as Lorelai is processing of what she is told about Christopher. "That is why I am here. My name is Nicole, and I am on the case. This will be shocking for all of you on the information I have for you". The PI named Nicole said to them.
As Lorelai prepares herself from what Nicole tells them, tears are building in her eyes as she learns about Christopher's death. 'You never called me, and now I know you passed on five years ago'. Lorelai thought to herself as she feels a tear coming down her face.
Nicole grabs some documents from her brief case. "I have to found out that who ever told you that Victoria Emily Gilmore is dead is, a lie. This is the death certificate that was in the file at the hospital. At closer look, this death certificate is a fake. I called every medical examiner all over the tri-state area. No mortician or medical examiner did an autopsy on a baby girl. I also called every adoption agency in the tri-state area. They did not have any records of adoption papers of Victoria Emily Gilmore being adopted. It is possible that she was stolen from her mother as a newborn". Anna said to them.
Lorelai is shocked to her core again as she is hearing this. Emily looks at Lorelai as she realizes that she needs support and not criticizing her. "I need some air". Lorelai said to them as she leaves the house for the balcony.
The Haydens look at the Gilmores as Francine feels bad for Lorelai. "I will talk to her". Emily said to them. Richard looks at Emily. "No Emily, give her some space and time. The news of Christopher's death and learning that her younger daughter gotten stolen from her is overwhelming her". Richard said to Emily.
Emily sighs as she has to agree on it. "I suppose you are right about that. Plus this is going to effect Rory as well. She has never met her father, and it will devastate her". Emily said to Richard.
Richard nods to Emily as Straub looks at them. "When they told Francine and me about Christopher's accident, I could not accept it until I saw his body on that cold metal slab in a morgue in an Alabama hospital. We already lost our son, but we have two granddaughters as well. One that is raised by Lorelai while the other one is lost". Straub said to them as Francine nods in agreement.
As the Anna the PI told them that she will continue her investigation, she leaves the Gilmore Mansion. The Gilmores invited the Haydens to join them for dinner tonight. Little did they know that they will meet JT and not Rory.
