Summary: This is about the days leading up to when Rory was born. It
is a journal that Lorelai writes about her thoughts on life and the
pending arrival of her child. This is only part one. I am finishing
part two.
Part 1
September 17, 1983
I thought today would be a good day to start this journal that my
grandma Lorelai gave to me. I know this great guy, his name is
Christopher Hayden. I think dad likes him, but mom was a little apprehensive. She and dad want the best for me, but I often make them mad, so it's hard for them to trust me.
October 8, 1983
Today is Chris's 16th birthday. We had a real great time tonight!
Even though it was his birthday, he took me out for supper. I think
my parents are beginning to not trust Chris and myself. They feel
we are out to often, Whatever! We just love each other. They will
have to deal with that fact.
October 31, 1983
Tonight there is this really great Halloween Party that my parents
won't let me go to. Even though they said I couldn't go, I plan on
having Chris pick me up around 11:30 after they go to bed. See if I
care what they think! Chris and I are always together, and will
always be together. I'm sure we won't get caught. If I do, I'll just
sneak out again anyways.
November 23, 1983
Today is my parents' anniversary. I actually have to stay home
tonight. They actually let me invite Chris. I was so happy, I almost
cried! Anyway, this should be quite a nice evening. Chris and I might
even go out after the big dinner. We really enjoy being together.
If I haven't mentioned that enough in this journal!
December 15, 1983
Tonight is my parents' big Christmas Party for their friends. Chris
was going to go, but he had his own party to attend. That means
this night won't be much fun. I wish he had asked me to go to
his party. Oh how much I love hanging out with all my father's
insurance buddies.
December 25, 1983
WooHoo! Christmas at the Gilmore house! Even grandma Lorelai came! I
actually went out to see Chris last night! It was great. I think his
parents actually like me! They ask me over for supper a lot. My
parents don't really like him too much any more. It bums me out.
December 31, 1983
Chris and I are going to this great New Year's Eve Party! All of his
friends are throwing it. This should be fun! No adults! I'm actually
surprised my parents are letting me go! That's crazy! They never let
me go to parties, especially with Chris! They must be sick or
something.
January 1, 1984
Wow!!! Last night was amazing. That is all I am going to write!!!
January 11, 1984
Chris and I are supposed to be going out tonight. I'm not sure if I
will, though, I have a terrible stomachache! It must have been that
weird food mom made me eat for dinner or something. I feel horrible!
Chris came over anyway! What a sweet guy!
January 26, 1984, 10:20 am.
This absolutely cannot be! I'm a week late. I'm usually never late! I
better have Chris take me to the doctor! I don't know what I would do
if I was, ya know, pregnant! I don't even like writing that word.
What would my parents think?
