Authours Note:
Hey, so this is my first english ff and I'm a bit nervous about it... anyway... This FF is totally AU and plays in the seventh season, I think... Lorelai and Luke are not together (yet?) and April is 16(!). Christopher does not play a role or at least not an important one in this story. My first chapter is short, but I just wanted to know what you thought about it...
I really hope you will enjoy this story even though it is going to be though in the first chapters, but it will get better, at least I hope so...
I would like to thank my awesome beta reader Neeve (GilmoreGirl96) for helping and supporting me, thank you so much again!
I know I write too much... Just one thing leave a review, good or bad doesn't matter ;) ok now it's enough... ENJOY READING!
I OWN NOTHING!
It couldn't be. It just couldn't be true. She was sure that she had done everything to avoid this. This couldn't be happening to her. Not to her, she was Miss Overprotective, she always checked everything twice. But that night, she forgot everything around her. So this was the result? The tears streamed down her cheeks as she sat down on the edge of the bathroom in Luke's apartment, she was crying even harder now. She didn't know what to do next. She looked at the test in her hands. Two stripes, two damn stripes, a plus. She was pregnant. The thought made her shiver. What would people say to her, what would they think of her? She couldn't help but freak out over her parents might say. Would they hate her? Would they throw her out? And what was about her boyfriend? Would he break up with her? She couldn't do this alone, she just couldn't. Her whole world was falling apart at this moment. She was supposed to go to college, maybe even an Ivy League school, like Yale. She was smart enough: What would her future hold for her now; she couldn't have the life she had dreamed of. Sure, she wanted to have kids, maybe…, in the future. But she could definitely not handle having one right now. She was only sixteen. "April? Are you there?" She heard her dad calling from downstairs. Shoot, she had to leave quickly. She put the test in her purse and climbed through the window, down into the backyard of Luke's diner.
"Ugh Sookie just leave Michel alone, he can handle it. I think… Yes I know what happened the last time… Yes I'm aware of that, but he promised me he wouldn't screw this up… Thank you… Ok, bye… Yeah, see you later when I'm stopping at the Inn, bye!" Lorelai sighed. There was a big wedding at the Inn this weekend and it was really stressing her out. Not only did the bride change her mind every two minutes, but also Sookie and Michel fought all the time over the smallest of things. She had taken the morning off, to get some shopping done. She had almost bought everything that was on her list, except the balloons, which she was supposed to pick up from Miss Patty's. She was almost there when saw someone jump from the small tree near Lukes. As she made her way towards the person, she could see that it was April. She looked really messed up. Her mascara was smeared all over face and her eyes were swollen. Even though she didn't know, Lorelai was almost 100% sure, that she had been crying, a lot. She'd never seen April like that, not that she had seen April very often, but she seemed to be an energetic kid, always so happy. But now she looked like a mess and Lorelai couldn't stop herself from wondering, what had caused this. April looked at her flashing her an unconvincing, watery smile. Lorelai smiled at her. She looked so hurt. She walked over to April who didn't make any gesture to move away. She just stood there, trying to smile but looking so hurt. "Hey April, is everything ok?" There was concern in Lorelai's voice. April began to nod, but then she stopped as fresh tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She wanted to tell someone. She really wanted to do it, but she wasn't sure, if it would be the right thing to do. She didn't even know Lorelai that well, but then she remembered that Lorelai had been in the same situation as she was in right now. She had gotten pregnant at sixteen and had lived a wonderful life, as far as April could see. Lorelai and Rory were best friends and she really wished that her and her mother had been that close. Ever since they moved to New Mexico, because April's grandmother was really sick, Anna was acting really weird. April couldn't recognize her mother anymore. She was so exhausted and barely talked to her and was only concerned about her own mother. Then one day Anna brought home Tom and that was the end of their once close relationship. She was standing there crying, when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up. April couldn't stand Tom and Tom had never liked her much either. Lorelai looked at her with tears in her eyes. It touched April, because she didn't have a good connection to this woman who almost married her father a year ago. She looked in the bright blue eyes that were so full of love by the woman standing in front of her and she knew what she had to do next. "I'm pregnant!" She mumbled. Lorelai's eyes widened. "Wha… What?" Lorelai was clearly shocked. April began to cry harder. "Oh my god" Lorelai looked at April, still not knowing what she had just said and then April fell apart. "I don't know how this happened. I just can't handle this… I'm so afraid and I don't know what to say and oh god… Dad is going to kill me and Mom will probably throw me out. This can't be happening. Not to me… How am I supposed to handle this?" "Shh… No one will throw you out or kill you! I'm here and I will make sure that they won't! You have to calm down… I know exactly how you feel. Believe me! It will get less scary, sometime…" Lorelai pulled April close to her and hugged her tightly. She was still shocked and she didn't want to imagine what was going to happen next. She had gone through this and it was so hard, but she was alone and Lorelai was sure that Luke would be there for her daughter and support her, no matter what. April looked so scared and hurt. It was so hard for Lorelai to see Luke's daughter like this. But she couldn't change it and so they stood there, hugging each other, Lorelai holding April so that she wouldn't break down. They stood there for what felt like forever. Then suddenly Lorelai broke the hug. "Honey, we have to get away from here or your father will see us! Come on… I will take you to my house!"
