I do not own any characters, plots, or anything else pertaining to "Gilmore Girls". So, the last chapter technically was the last chapter, however, I thought I'd add a short Epilogue to this story showing Abby's adoption though her own POV. Thanks for reading.

Epilogue

Abby and her daddy walk up to the scary desk. There's a man sitting up above her with a big hammer. She knows what's going to happen because her mommy and daddy had told her about it. Abby squeezes her daddy's hand, as the man up above looks down at her. "This hearing is to finalize the adoption process for Abby Victoria Gilmore, by one Jess Mariano." She's so scared that she blocks out the rest of the grown-up talk. Her daddy and mommy had told her to show her best smile to the scary man. Abby feels her daddy's hand squeeze hers again and then the scary man hits the hammer hard on his desk. She jumps and her daddy starts to drag her out of the courtroom. Her mommy meets them at the big doors with her grandma and they all walk out. Abby didn't understand the grown-up talk, but she knows that her name is now Miss Abby Mariano. Her daddy is still her daddy, but he had told her that she could now write Abby Mariano on all her papers. Abby's so happy, she skips out of the courthouse.

They walk into her grandpa's diner and no one's inside. The lights are off and it's very spooky. Abby starts to go up to her favorite chair, when she hears "Surprise." She jumps again and sees everyone in the light. Her great grandma is sitting at one of the tables with her baby sister Lily, her crazy grandma is holding Oliver next to her great grandma, and that funny man is next to her crazy grandma. She thinks his name is TJ, but she had heard her crazy grandma call him Gary. Abby's not scared anymore, as she turns around and sees her grandpa putting a cheeseburger and extra fries in front of her. "Here you go, kid." Abby smiles at her grandpa. "Thanks, grandpa." She takes a big bite. "Hmm, this is good." Her grandpa smiles at her and leans across the counter. "Good, huh, don't tell your parents that I added extra bacon to your burger." She grins at him and takes another bite of her burger.

"Whoa, slow down there, Mariano." Abby turns to her daddy, who's now sitting next to her. "You're so silly, daddy." She giggles at him. "What's going on over here?" Abby turns to her other side and gives her mommy a smile. "Daddy just thinks he's funny." Her mommy laughs and she turns back to her burger. "Alright, Mariano family, let's get a picture." Abby wipes her mouth with a napkin and turns to her grandma. She's holding her tablet that she sometimes lets her play with. Abby sees her great grandma and crazy grandma walk up with Lily and Oliver. They give the babies to her mommy and daddy. Abby gets in position and gives her biggest smile. Her grandma snaps the picture and she's so happy. This is what she's wished for every birthday, whenever her mommy tells her to make a wish. A real family.
