Knowing how this will all turn out, I will say at this point to feel worse for Rodney. Rory has had almost a year to deal with this, while Rodney has only had a day. The next chapter will have all of Rodney's reaction to the issue of "OMG i have a kid who's smarter than I am". I'm looking forward to writing that.

Rory's really digging herself the worst sort of hole. She didn't tell Rodney, and she still hasn't told Lorelai, and she can't figure out how to explain after this time. Not working out well.

I'm hoping to have the next chapter up "soon" - as in, it's in my mind and I just need to spend some time writing it :)
