Hey guys! New story! This one is also set after the show. I can't really give you a summary other than Rory has a daughter and everyone thinks its Logan's.

Chapter 1:

Lora always wondered where the books were from. They were from a writer named 'Dodger Danes'. They had their own shelf in her mother's room that her mom would always update with a new book every two years or so. Her mom followed the books religiously. And whenever her grandparents would come over, they would skim through the books, too. There was something special about the books, she knew. But, what was it, that was the clue.

Lora Gilmore went to Watkinson School, a private middle school in Hartford, connected to Chilton Academy. Her school friends were her Aunt Paris and Uncle Doyle's children, Carson and Adam and Lora's Aunt and Uncle, Paige and Will. The 5 of them were family, of course so, automatically they were all friends. At the moment, they were all at their lockers, purposely chosen to be right next to one another.

"So, Friday night dinner tonight, guys?" Carson asked. He knew that the Gilmore and Danes went every Friday. He just liked teasing them.

"Yup." Paige, Will, and Lora responded at once. Lora was leaning against the lockers as the rest of the group pulled out their school supplies that would be needed for the weekend.

When the group was done, they walked through the hallways in a horizontal line, all chatting with each other. Today, Doyle would be picking Carson and Adam up while Paige, Will, and Lora will be taking the bus back to Stars Hollow.

The bus ride took longer than usual but, Lora didn't really mind. She had her book. At the moment, she had just began reading the book 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell and was completely engrossed in it.

"Lora! Lora!" She was woken from her reading haze from her Aunt, Paige, snapping in her face. "The bus is in Stars Hollow!"

"Oh, sorry." She blushed. Her aunts and uncles also liked books but, not as much as her mother and her did. They wouldn't be able to live without it.

They hopped off the bus and walked straight into the town square to walk to Luke's Diner. That was their usual meeting spot for their parents/grandparents to meet them after school.

"Hey Dad." Paige said, jumping onto one of the stools at the counter in front of her father, Luke.

"Hi Dad." Will also said, sitting next to his sister.

And finally, Lora came behind them with a "Hey, Grandpa Luke. How are you?"

"Hey guys. I'm doing great, Lora. But, how many times do I have to tell you to just call me Luke?"

"I like saying it, Luke. Sorry." That was when the mother/sister walked through the door.

"Hey guys! When did you get in? Am I late?" Rory questioned.

"Just on time, mom!" Lora replied. She jumped off the stool to hug her mom. She was shorter than her mom but, hadn't stopped growing since she was only 11 at the moment.

"Hey, girl. How was school?"

"Oh, you know. Carson and Adam were bothering me a little but, other than that, everything was pretty good." She let go of her mom and looked up at her.

"We'll see you guys tonight! Bye Luke!" Rory yelled the later part so Luke could hear from the stove.

"Bye Rory! See you at our house at 5:30. Right? Or is it your house?"

"Our house!" Lora said, this time. "Bye guys." She waved and they were out the door with a chime of the bell.

"Reading anything new lately?" Rory questioned. Lora raised her book up to her mom's hands so she could see the cover. "Wow! Newbie! When this come out?" She said, examining the back for the summary.

"2 years ago." Lora replied, smiling.

"WOW! Extra newbie! Cool!" Rory smiled down at her daughter. Taking her roles in books.

"What about you, mom? Anything new to read?" This was when Rory went quiet with a straight face.

"Oh, nothing." She tried to make it look real, failing miserably. "I've been so busy at work lately."

'O-kay. That's weird. She only does that whe- ohhhh. Of course. Great. She's gonna be silent for a couple days. Stupid Dodger Danes.' Lora thought.

"Okay. So, how is working at the 'Stars Hollow Gazette'? Anyone running naked throughout town, lately.?" Lora changed the subject. She knew that when she got home, she was going to go straight to the bookcase to see if there was a new book on the special shelf.
