1984- The Gilmore House
Lorelai and Christopher sit at opposite ends of the balcony outside her room.
"You make so mad sometimes Chris!!"
"Thats because I don't get you half the time! One minute you're happy, the next, you're pissed. I know things with you and your parents are really tense right now, but remember, I'm on your side."
Lorelai turned to face Chris from her sideof the balcony. She tried to keep up her expression of stubborn irritation but she couldn't help but smile into those blue eyes that gazed at her from across the balcony. How could she stay mad at those eyes? As soon as Christopher realized he'd finally gotten through to his girlfriend, he quickly wrapped her in his arms. Lorelai always felt so safe when he held her like that. She didn't know what she'd do without him.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" She asked from between his arms.
Christopher had started to plant gentle kisses on her forehead, then her lips and her neck.
"I don't know..." he answered in the tone he always did when he had only one particular activity in mind.
"We can't do it here!" Lorelai protested, knowing exactly what he wanted to do. "What if my parents see us?!"
"Don't worry, it's 3:00am, there fast asleep, snug in their bed." Chris replied unbuttoning her shirt.
Lorelai giggled as he ran his finger along her back.
"Alright, but we still have to keep it down just in case. Who knows? My mother may decide to come check and make sure I didn't sneak out again."
"No problem babe" Chris said as he hurriedly ran into her room and returned with a blanket.
She never could say no to him, especially when she wanted just as badly as he wanted her.
So there they stayed, on the moonlight bathed balcony unknowingly changing their lives forever.
2 MONTHS LATER...
'This isn't happeningq! This can't be happening!' Lorelai thought to herself over and over again as she paced feverishly back and forth in her bedroom with a pregnancy test in her hand. She had missed her last two periods and had decided to rule out the worst case scenario, that she was pregnant before she saw her doctor. But obviously the fates had another plan in store for her.
Lorelai stared at the little strip in her hand. A big pink plus sign stared right back at her.
"How am I going to tell Chris?' 'Oh, and my parents, they're going to kill me!!" She ranted to herself. Lorelai was starting to panic. She grabbed her schoolbag and ran out of the house at a hurricane's pace. She couldn't risk running into her parents for fear she may just blurt everything out.
Lorelai didn't see Christopher until their second period class. While Mr. Randolph rambled on about the Civil War Lorelai passed Chris a note reading, "Cut afternoon classes with me. Something very import to tell you." Christopher chuckled to himself when he read the note. 'She probably just wants to go make out.' he thought, but he was more than happy to oblige. Making out with his incredibly hot girlfriend was a much more appealing option to having to sit through a trig lesson. He gave Lorelai a quick nod to confirm their plans. Little did he know that he was in for the surprise of his life.
"What do you mean you're pregnant!?" Christopher half shouted at Lorelai after she told him the pregnancy news.
"Don't yell at me!" Lorelai sobbed "I didn't want this to happed!"
"I know. I know. I'm sorry. Its just that its not everyday that a guy finds out he's gonna be somebody's dad at the ripe old age of 16." Christopher said as he wiped Lorelai's tears with his shirt tail.
"What are we gonna do? Our parents are gonna have heart attacks!"
"I don't know babe, but whatever happens, I'm here for you. And our baby."
Lorelai was terrified at the days and weeks to come but she was glad taht she'd have Chris to lean on.
"How could yo do this to us!?" Richard Gilmore bellowed in anger upon hearing the news that his teenage daughter was pregnant. "How could you two have been so irresponsible!?" he continued. His wife Emily on the other hand did just the opposite. She sat frozen on the sofa looking as calm and graceful as Mt. Vesuvius before it erupted on the citizens of Pompeii. This was the first time in her life that Lorelai had ever seen her mother speachless. It scared her. Christopher stood sheepishly next to Lorelai who was sobbing as she tried to explian to her furious parents how they didn't mean for any of this to happen and how it was all just a mistake. In the midst of all this Emily finally spoke.
"Your father and I cannot and will not stand for this" she said as calmly as if she were talking about the weather.
"What do you mean?" asked a bewildered Lorelai.
"We want you out of this house tonight."
"But mom!!"
"No excuses Lorelai. I've heard them all. Just go."
With that Emily walked quickly out of the room. She wept quietly as she moved out of sight. Richard ran after her.
Lorelai felt her knees go weak and leaned against Christopher for support.
"I knew they would be mad but I never thought they'd do this." she cried
"When I told my parents this morning they said they were gonna ship me off to military school. Teach me some responsibility."
"You're leaving me too!"
"Of course not. I'd never leave you. I love you Lorelai."
"I love you to Chris, but how can we stay together?"
"Well you're not gonna like this but, we're gonna have to quit school, get jobs and a place of our own if we're gonna make a life for our baby" Christopher mumbled, not really buying it himself.
"Are you insane! We're only 16!!"
"Well have you got a better solution? You're parents just kicked you out and mine are gonna ship me over to some battle-crazed drill sargeant!"
Lorelai couldn't help but giggle at the thought of her rebel of a boyfriend saluting and yelling "Sir. Yes sir!".
"Its not funny!" Christopher replied trying to stifle his own laugh, having had the same mental image.
"Come on. Lets get some of your stuff together. I know a place where we can stay for the night and figure out a plan." he said as he lead Lorelai to her room.
"OK" she said as Christopher took her gently by the hand.
"Where will we go?" Lorelai asked as she and Christopher sped away from the only home she'd ever known.
"There's a town not to far from here called Stars Hollow. My friend's parents own the Independence Inn there."
"That sounds expensive. How can we afford it?"
"Well, we're not gonna stay in the actual Inn. We're staying in the toolshed that my friend and I used as a hideout when we were kids."
"You're gonna make your pregnant girlfriend stay in a dirty tool shed!" Lorelai joked
"Its not that dirty. In fact its really pretty. There's a pond next to it with ducks and everything."
"Its still a tool shed Chris. But since we're not exactly drowning in money, it'll have to do."
"See, there's the Oh-So-Happy Lorelai I know and love" Christopher said laughingly
"Shut up Army-Boy!" she replied punching him in the arm.
"Hey, that hurts!" Chris cried as he pretended to be wounded.
Suddenly Lorelai's face got very serious.
"Chris?"
"Ya babe."
"I'm scared."
"I know, me too."
