A/N: I have a new-found obsession with Gilmore Girls, which led to an obsession with GG fanfiction, which led to this story. Don't worry, I haven't given up on any of my other stories. Well, anyway, I hope you like this beginning! I know it's short, but it's just a prologue, and with REVIEWS from you guys, you should have the next chapter up soon. And now without further ado, our feature presentation!

Lorelai Gilmore froze, holding a pregnancy test in her shaky left hand. Her boyfriend, Christopher Hayden, was looking at her expectantly, awaiting the news.
"Well..." he said. She looked up at him.
"It's pink," she said in barely a whisper. Chris looked at her, shocked.
"Wow. Look Lor, I'm really sorry," Chris said. She felt tears come to her eyes.
"Get out. Now! You're such an ass! I never want to see you again, get out of my house and out of my life!" Lorelai screamed. He turned and walked out, not even bothering to argue with her. He knew Lorelai, and was sure she would come around.
As soon as he left, Lorelai sat down on the couch slowly. How could this have happened? How could Chris have lied to her and said there was no possible way she could get pregnant if she was under 17? This is exactly what happens when you don't have a health class in school. Lorelai thought. She couldn't believe it was happening. She knew that her mother was going to make her put the baby up for adoption, and there was no way she could fight it. She was, after all, still a minor. Only 16.
She really was in a mess. But maybe it was better off this way. Then she could finish up high school and college. And someday, maybe, she would find her child.

A/N: Skip ahead to early December that year. Lorelai is a junior, refuses to talk to Chris at all, and Rory was just born just two months ago, and Luke's dad just died on November 30 that year.

Luke Danes will never know how Rachel talked him into it. All he knew was that she wanted a baby, and suddenly he found himself in an orphanage in Hartford with her. Part of his thinking was that Liz had just had her little baby boy, and she seemed so happy. He needed happiness, especially now that his dad was gone. (A/N: I know his dad wouldn't be dead yet, but hey, it's my story, that's the definition of AU!)
Even though he was only 19 at the time, and they weren't planning on getting a kid just then, he couldn't help but stop when he saw that little baby girl. She was very young, younger than almost any of the other kids, and she had the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen.
"Hello," said a lady, coming up from behind Luke, "Can I help you two with anything?" Luke nodded.
"What is this little girl's name?" Luke asked, motioning to the baby looking up with intrest.
"Lorelai Leigh Gilmore. Rory as a nickname. Isn't she precious? She just came in about two weeks ago," said the lady kindly. Rachel stood, waiting, surprised that Luke was taking such an interest in that child.
"Can I hold her?" Luke asked. The woman nodded and handed the infant over to Luke. As soon as he took hold of her, he felt his heart lift. Without a doubt in his mind, he knew that he wanted this child.
Rachel held Rory next, and agreed that she wanted to adopt the cutie. Luke and Rachel filled out all of the adoption papers and found out all about the baby's past. As much as they could anyway.
Apparently her mom was just 16 when she had Rory. She loved her baby, and desperately wanted to keep her, but her parents would not allow it. Luke did find out that her mom was devastated the day she had to give Rory up. Her only request, other than Rory getting a good home, was that her new parents did not change her name. There was supposedly a lot of family history behind the name Lorelai, as that had been Rory's mom's name as well. Luke locked away the name Lorelai Gilmore in the back of her mind, in case Rory were to ever ask. Lorelai Gilmore. Definitely a name he had to remember.
