Summary: a take on what Lorelai and Rory's life would have been like if she had said yes when Christopher proposed to her in highschool.
1984
"Lorelai Gilmore, will you marry me?"
Christopher had actually gone down on one knee to the amazement of Lorelai and everyone else in the hallway who witnessed the scene.
"I love you Lor, and I wanna make a real home for our baby."
"I love you too Chris, and I want nothing less than for this baby to have a real home too. But its just that...I don't know.... Let me think about it? OK?"
"Alright...fine..." Chris said trying unsuccessfully to hide the disappointment in his voice. He really did love her, but one thing he never could do was understand her. He'd thought any other 16 year old pregnant girl would be ecstatic if the father of her baby wanted to marry her and take care of their child, but then again, Lorelai wasn't every other girl.
"...just don't take too long, apparently human babies only require nine months to develop." and with that he placed the diamond engagement ring in her palm, kissed her on the cheek and walked down the hallway to his chemistry class.
Later that day...
Lorelai couldn't believe how completely crazy her life had gotten in the past week. Only a few days ago she was a normal girl, a little wild, but still pretty normal. She was in her sophomore year of highschool and she had a really cute boyfriend that she adored. All in all, she was just your average teenage girl. Then it all came tumbling down. That stupid stick just had to turn blue! Now, she was pregnant, her parents were even more pissed at her than usual and to top it all off, her boyfriend was proposing! Lorelai sat on the bench in the park where she had taken off to after Christopher's little production. She buried her head in her hands and tried to decide what she was going to do about the gigantic mess she was in.
"Alright Gilmore, think!" she said to herself.
"You're pregnant, sixteen, have no job, no money of your own, haven't even finished the tenth grade and don't know how much longer you can stand living with your parents."
"So all of that basically adds up to mean...that I'm screwed!" she thought hopelessly as she ran her fingers through her hair. As she did this something became entangled in the girl's dark hair. It was Christopher's ring. Lorelai had forgotten that she still had it in her hand. Lorelai exhaled slowly as she stared at the little ring in her hand.
'Maybe I should marry him?' she pondered as she watched the ring glimmer in the sunlight.
'I mean...it couldn't be that bad, could it?'
'It definitely couldn't...I mean, I love him. He loves me. We're having a baby and...we could move out on our own and get away from our parents!' she thought excitedly. The ring had suddenly begun to look more beautiful than it had just a few moments ago.
Lorelai sat in the park on the bench for three more hours until she had come to a firm decision on what to do. The sun was beginning to fade into the horizon when Lorelai finally got up from the bench. As she walked from the park Lorelai took the ring from her pocket and slowly slipped it on her finger.
"Well, here goes nothin'...Mrs. Hayden."
