"Christopher why are you doing this, can't you just leave us alone?" Lorelai asked. "No you belong with me, and Rory is my daughter not his" Chris responded. lorelai was livid she wouldn't believe that he was really going to make her do this. After 16 years of coming and going and never being there when Rory really needed him he decides that now he wants in. They had moved on, lorelai was now with Luke and finally happy. Rory and Luke had an amazing relationship, when Lorelai worked the night shift Wednesday nights luke and rory went the Sniffy's for dinner just the two of them. Now here stands Christopher telling her that if she doesn't leave luke and be with him he would use his parents money and influence to stir up some trumped up charges that she was letting luke abuse rory and that she was neglecting her. " You know that this is really what you want, I can make you happy" Chris kept rambling on and on. "No you cant, luke makes me happy, he is what I want" Lorelai was trying to make him see that she didn't want this. "why are you doing this?" lorelai pleaded with him.
They hear the front door open and close with a bang, "Mom, you home" it was rory she was home from school. "Don't tell her about this, she is to stay out of it" Lorelai demanded. " Hey dad what are you doing here?" rory asked looking none to pleased that he was here in her house. Ever since he missed her birthday party after promising he would be there she wanted nothing to do with him, " Nothing kid, just thought id drop in and see my girls" at this lorelai rolled her eyes and turned away. "actually he was just leaving weren't you Chris?" lorelai gave the don't argue with me look. " Yeah I was I guess ill see you girls later" Chris said " Bye dad" rory gave him a smile and walked into her room. " This isn't over, we aren't done here" Chris said "Well MY daughter is here and now isn't the time Chris" lorelai turned and walked to the door opening it to signal his exit.
The girls stood in the kitchen silent waiting for the roar of Christopher's motorcycle. " What was he doing here?" Rory asked " He dropped in to see us, a surprise visit" " I wish he wouldn't do that i don't want him here, i don't want him around" " I know kid, he is still your dad though" " No he isn't he is just the guy who got you pregnant, Luke is more of a dad than he is" " I know, hey come on enough of this depressing talk lets go grab some take out and rent a movie" " sounds good, just let me change" rory said " ok kid" Lorelai said as she sat at the kitchen table waiting for rory to change.
There were millions of things running through her head. How am I going to tell luke about this? Is christopher really serious? Am i going to have to leave luke? What am i going to do? She was pulled from her thoughts when rory walked back into the room and slipped on some shoes. "ready mom?" " Yeah lets go". The girls walked out of the house and started the 5 minute walk into town. As they walked along lorelai decided that she had no choice but to do the unthinkable, she had to leave luke and let christopher win.
She had no choice and she wouldn't risk rory for anything in the world. She decided that even thought the last thing she wanted was another reason to be indebted to her parents but she needed there help. As rory trotted along side her talking about her day, lorelai couldn't hold her focus. she decided that tonight when rory went to bed and luke was done cleaning up dinner she would end the amazing thing they had going, cry herself to sleep, wake up feeling like crap and go to her parents and beg for help. After she realized her only option at the moment her only thought was Damn you Christopher.
