Coming Home chapter 1: The Reunion.

A/N Hey guys this is my new story.

Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

It had been 5 long years since Rory Gilmore had been back to Stars Hollow but that's where she was home.

Rory left Stars Hollow just before her 18th birthday, and since she left she hadn't been in contact with anyone from Stars Hollow.

Including her mother.

Rory decided that she would go to Luke's first seeing as it was 9:30 Saturday morning, Rory parked her Chrysler 300 black a cross the road from Luke's.

Many of the Stars Hollow residents were staring, not many had seen such an expensive car in Stars Hollow but they were more shocked to see who got out of the car.

Rory sighed, while trying to convince herself that this was a good idea and that her mother deserved to know what had happened to her daughter's life. Before Rory left, her and her mom had been the best of friends, for all of Rory's life it had just been her and Lorelai. But now Rory didn't know how her mom would react when she walked back into her life.

Rory smiled and waved at the shocked town's folks and made her way to the diner.

Lorelai was sitting at the counter at Luke's, Luke taking her order even though he knew exactly what she would be ordering, pancakes with the side of bacon with lots of coffee.

Many of the customers were watching through the window at the strange car that had arrived in town.

"Hey Patty, what's happening?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh Honey, some fancy car just parked over the road."

"Luke hear that fancy." Luke places her breakfast in front of Lorelai and refills her coffee.

"You know this stuff will kill ya."

"I know sweetie, you tell me all the time." Lorelai smiles at him. Lorelai took losing Rory extremely hard she hadn't seen or heard form Rory in over 5 years.

She had to work late one night when she got home Rory wasn't there, Lorelai was frantic she called Luke by the time Luke got to the Crap Shack Lorelai was on the kitchen floor crying with a letter in hand.

Dear Mom

I'm so, so sorry but this is the only way.

I tried really, really tried.

I need to leave I need to get away. I know you don't understand but please trust me when I say this is for the best.

Please let me go.

Don't look for me I'll come back when the time is right.

I Love Mom, your my best friend.

Love Rory.

"She's gone Luke, she gone." Lorelai keep saying over and over. Lorelai didn't leave the Crap Shack for months Luke or Sookie would come over with food and coffee, Emily rang when the girls didn't show up for Friday night dinner Lorelai just ignored all phone calls.

A week later Emily went to see Lorelai in person after calling Chilton and finding out that Rory had been absent for longer than 2 weeks.

But Lorelai never answered the door so Emily found out from Luke that Rory had disappeared. Emily and Richard were beside themselves and hired a P.I. but Lorelai had found out and put a stop to that.

"Rory asked not tho look for her and that she would come home when she was ready." Emily tried to get Lorelai to see reason but Lorelai put her foot down.

It took over a year for Lorelai to be a fraction of what she once was. Lorelai had put all her energy into the opening of the Dragonfly and trying to be happy.

The towns folk loved that girl like she was their own, and when she left she took with her apart of everyone's hearts. All of Stars Hollow seemed a little greyer now that Rory left.

"Oh my sweet, LORELAI, its Rory, its RORY!" Patty yelled as soon as she saw Rory get out of the car.

"Rory, what about Rory?"

"It's Rory the fancy car, Rory got out of it and is headed his way and OMG!" Patty's jaw dropped and became silent.

Rory took a deep breath. "Don't worry Charlie everything will be fine." As she crested her stomach. She opened the door of the dinner.

"Hi Mom." Lorelai stood with her month open. The entire diner watched Rory walk in, and all their jaws dropped in shock at the sight of her.

"Lorelai, what's going on-?" Luke just stood their when he saw why everyone became silent.

"Hi Luke."

"Um, hi Rory. What are y- it's good to see you." Luke came around the counter and hugged her but not before noticing her bump.

"You to Luke."

"You're pr-?"

"Pregnant? Yes 7 months along." Rory said with a huge smile and pated her stomach Lorelai was still in complete shock.

"Rory." Lorelai simple said and jumped off her seat and hugged her only daughter. Both women started crying.

"I'm sorry mom." Rory cried.

"Your back, oh Rory I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too." The customers in the diner and the rest of the town, who were pressed up against the window, watched their two favourite women reunited.
