First of all, I want to thank you for your patience. I put all my efforts into this chapter and I hope you will enjoy it. A big thank you to my beta reader LindaProsser1 you're helping me so much :)

Lorelai took a deep breath and attempted as best as she could to stay calm. No one would have thought that her eldest granddaughter would find out about the existence of her twin sister before her 18th birthday.

"Grandma, I'm waiting," Nathalie grumbled at her grandmother angrily and wondered why her parents had never said anything for 14 years.

"Nathalie, honey, I can understand that you're angry, irritated and hurt. We decided to wait and tell you on your 18th birthday about your sister Norah.

We didn't want you and your siblings to suffer the same way we did. I...I'm so sorry you found out about having a twin sister this way." Lorelai tried to look into her granddaughter's eyes.

Sookie was standing silently watching Lorelai and her granddaughter, feeling guilty that she had told Nathalie about her sister.

"I have to get out of here. " Nathalie muttered and stormed out of the kitchen before Lorelai could say anything more.

"Oooh, Lorelai, I'm so sorry that I told Nathalie about Norah. I didn't think. Should we go after her?" Sookie hesitantly said, touching her best friends shoulder.

"No, I don't think it's a good idea to go after her now, Sookie. It's all my fault if I hadn't left the damn office open, Nathalie wouldn't have found out that she had a sister named Norah," Lorelai let out a frustrated sigh and put a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Lorelai, Logan and Rory and the rest of the family, thought that it was the right decision not to tell Nathalie and her siblings about Norah. Don't punish yourself. I think you should talk with Rory and Logan about it.," Sookie suggested.

"You're right, It's just so hard you know, and after such a long time the secret is revealed. I guess I better head back to the office Sookie," Lorelai said. She picked up her purse and photo album and went into the office.

Closing the door behind her, she took a deep breath and sat behind her office desk. She laid down the photo album and flipped through the pages. Sadly she remembered that sad day, the 10th of October 2010 when she was at her daughter's home.

10th October 2010

Lorelei was angry when she entered Rory and Logan's house. A crowd of police officers and FBI agents were in the foyer, and her heart stopped for a moment when she saw her kid. Rory was leaning against the wall, her face was overflowing with tears, and her body was trembling. With a few quick steps, Lorelei was in front of her daughter.

"Rory? Sweetheart hey, I'm here,' Lorelei whispered touching her shoulders. Rory threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom," she whispered, burying her face in her mother's shoulder.

"What should we do now?! I...I'm so scared," she continued sobbing uncontrollably.
Lorelei pulled her closer gently stroking her daughter's back.

Lorelai couldn't understand how someone could be so vicious and kidnap a helpless baby?

They had been through enough for the last one and a half year and deserved to finally be happy together, and now this happened.

The whole situation with Odette and her fake pregnancy, the arranged marriage, the problematic delivery from the twins, and then the fearing of losing Norah when she was in the NICU, fighting for her life. Their twins was a gift from God. Would their marriage be able to survive?
