Out on Her Own

Chapter 1- Difficult Choices

"Lorelai, you had that baby a month ago. You will either marry Christopher next weekend after Thanksgiving and keep this baby, or don't marry Christopher and give this baby up. That was our deal," Emily yelled at a 16 year old Lorelai.

"But-" Lorelai was cut off.

"You will ruin your life. You already did by getting pregnant, but at least you can always pretend you were taking a vacation if you give up the baby and you wouldn't have to marry Christopher. Take your pick."

"That's not fair mom. I can't marry Christopher. We are too young and we won't make it. You know I can't give up Rory. That will never be an option!" she protectively held the little bundle of joy closer to her.

"Life isn't always fair Lorelai."

"Giving up Rory will not be an option period."

"Then marry Christopher!"

"I DON'T LOVE CHRISTOPHER!"

"You can not live under my roof with that baby."

"'That baby' has a name."

"So will I be calling the adoption agency?"

"No!"

"Then should I resume the wedding plans?"

"No, can't do either of those."

"Fine."

Emily walked into the foyer towards the door. She reached for the doorknob and twisted it open to hold open the door.

A gust of cold wind blew in with a few stray leaves.

Lorelai looked at her mother. She was actually serious. She stepped out the door with Rory in her arms. The door slammed closed behind her.

This was it. She got her freedom. It was Rory and her against the world. This was a turning point in her life. However, she was just a 16 year old girl with no job, no high school diploma and a month and a half old baby.

She was reconsidering marrying Christopher for a second. Could it be that bad? Of course it would be. She would be living the life of her parents with all the DAR functions, antique auctions, white frilly dresses, rich snobby people and lots of money.

She couldn't even bare the thought about losing Rory. Rory was the best thing that happened to her. She was her daughter. She carried her inside of her for 9 months. She would do anything for this little child, even if it meant leaving home.

Never looking back behind, Lorelai turned and started walking out of what once used to be her home's courtyard.

This was going to be a new chapter of her life. A chapter called "Out on Her Own" There was one thing stopping. She had nothing.

All Lorelai was wearing was a pair was stretchy jeans, on the account of her still carrying her pregnancy weight, a Bananarama tee shirt under a long sleeved shirt and a pair of old tennis shoes.

It was a cold day. It was November after all. The first snow of the season had fallen weeks ago, but there were little icy spots still visible on the lawn. Holiday decorations were up in all the houses and there she stood, on the street. Where was she going to go??
