As Chris and Lorelai made their way back to Boston Lorelai's guilt kept coming back to her. She knew that Chris needed to know the truth.
Lorelai: Chris can we talk
Chris: yea go ahead
Lorelai: you remember the graduation party you through
Chris: yeah what about it
Lorelai: well that night I cheated on you
Chris: what
Lorelai: I slept with someone else
Chris: was it the one time
Lorelai turned her head away and stayed quiet
Chris: Lorelai
Lorelai: no it wasn't it happened for the next three years
Chris: when was the last time
Lorelai: the day before you proposed
Chris: is Rory mine
Lorelai: no she isn't
Chris: so you are telling me that my daughter I raised for the first 7 years of her life isn't even my child. I can't even look at you right now Lorelai
Chris pulled into the house and waited for Lorelai to take Rory out and then he sped off and didn't come home. Lorelai went into the house and put Rory to bed but waited up for Christopher. That same night across in Stars Hollow Luke and Anna headed home. Luke he knew he needed to tell Anna about Lorelai and Rory. Luke waited for Anna to put April down for the night
Anna: Luke you alright
Luke: no I am not Anna we have to talk I have to tell you something
Anna: okay whats up
Luke: I cheated
Anna: what…when…
Luke: right after graduation up until the day you said you were pregnant
Anna: with who
Luke: it doesn't matter
Anna: Luke did you love her
Luke: yes I did
Anna: do you still
Luke: yes…Anna there is more she was pregnant at the time when we broke it off
Anna: are you telling me you have a child with her
Luke: yes she will be 7 in October
Anna: wait Rory is your daughter…you were with Lorelai
Luke: how did you…..
Anna: Chris and I talked about the kids waiting for you and Lorelai. He told me Rory was born October 5th.
Luke: Anna I am sorry
Anna: Get out Luke out
Luke: Anna
Anna: no Luke you had 7 years to tell me GET OUT
Luke went and got a few things and headed back to the diner. A week went by and Anna refused to talk to Luke and Chris and Lorelai haven't seen each other. Luke decided he had enough so he wanted to talk to Anna when he pulled into the driveway he noticed another vehicle. When Luke approached the back door he overheard part of a conversation
Anna: I am so sorry
Chris: should I be surprised I did the same to her
Anna: so Rory is Luke's daughter
Chris: that is what Lorelai said. April isn't even his so what now
Anna: I don't know Luke and I haven't spoken in a week. I mean how do I tell him that I was already pregnant when we slept together
Luke couldn't believe his ears April wasn't even his daughter but he wondered whose was she. He needed to know
Luke: what do you mean she isn't mine
Anna and Chris snapped their heads toward Luke
Anna: Luke
Luke: is she even mine
Anna: no
Luke: why Anna why did you tell me she was mine
Anna: I didn't want to hurt you
Luke: really Anna I raised another man's child for 7 years if I am not her father then who is
Anna: Luke
Luke: Anna who is he
Chris: I am
Luke: you're not serious Anna, when did you start sleeping with my wife
Anna: Luke it doesn't matter
Luke: I want to know
Chris: the party Lorelai threw at her house
Luke: that's why I couldn't find you Anna
Anna: Luke I am sorry
Luke: you were mad at me Anna for not telling you about Rory, Anna 7 years
Anna: Luke what now
Luke: I don't care I am out. Chris you need to tell Lorelai or I will
Chris: I haven't heard from Lorelai in over a week
Luke: what do you mean
Chris: Lorelai left town with Rory and she didn't tell me
Luke: where could she be
Chris: I don't know
Luke: whatever, Anna I'll have the divorce papers drawn up
Anna: what do I tell April
Luke: I don't care as you said she isn't mine Just tell her I'll always love her
Luke left and went back to the diner. He contacted his lawyers and filed for divorce, Lorelai however did the same and filed for divorce as well. No one knew where Lorelai was except her parents, Luke was going crazy because he couldn't find Lorelai or Rory. Luke decided to close the diner for a couple weeks so he could find Lorelai and Rory. Luke remembered where Lorelai's parent's house was so he decided to take a chance so he went and knocked on the door.
Emily: hello
Luke: are you Mrs. Gilmore
Emily: yes and you are
Luke: Luke Danes
Emily: your Rory's father
Luke: oh yes ma'm…I am looking for Lorelai have you seen her
Emily: yes I have however we are not to tell anyone. Lorelai did leave this for you
Luke took the letter and thanked her. Luke left and headed to the cabin. He got settled and decided to open the letter.
Luke,
I am so sorry for everything. I was hurt the day you broke up with me. I was planning on leaving Chris that day. But when you called it quits I was broken. So I married Chris even though I didn't love him anymore. Seeing you again brought up past memories, I am truly sorry about how everything turned out. I am divorcing Chris, but I do need time to myself to get back on track. I am not telling you where I am but Rory and I are safe. I do love you Luke
Lorelai
Luke couldn't believe it. He knew he couldn't find her but he was going to try. After two weeks of trying to find his daughter Luke went back to the diner and opened it back up. Luke had heard through the town that Anna moved away with Chris and took April. He then received papers in the mail to terminate his parental rights to April. Luke knew that if he fought it he would lose since he isn't April's biological father. So he did the only thing he knew was to sign those papers. Luke then buried himself into work but never gave up hope that Lorelai and Rory would show. The summer can and went and school was starting Lorelai knew that Rory would have to go to school so she made a decision to enrol her into Stars Hollow Elementary. Lorelai knew Rory needed a father in her life but she decided to put her personal problems on the back burner and head to Stars Hollow. Lorelai knew Luke would be there but she had no idea about Luke divorcing Anna. Lorelai enrolled Rory into school and found a house which was next to Babette. Babette saw Lorelai coming out of her house after loading boxes and furniture in the house
Babette: howdy doll
Lorelai: oh hi
Babette: I am Babette
Lorelai: Lorelai Gilmore
Babette: is it just you living in the house
Lorelai: oh no just me and my daughter
Babette: oh no husband
Lorelai: oh no I am divorced…excuse me I need to head into town and find coffee
Babette: Luke's diner
Lorelai: excuse me
Babette: Luke owns the diner in town he makes the best coffee
Lorelai: oh yes I know Luke now please excuse me I really have to go
Babette: you know Luke
Lorelai: oh yes he is the father of my child
Babette: but he….
Lorelai: complicated
Lorelai left leaving Babette speechless but didn't stop her to make a few phone calls. When Lorelai reached the diner she saw people looking at her and whispering. Lorelai didn't see Luke so she sat at the counter and waited.
Cesar: what can I get you
Lorelai: oh umm coffee please
Cesar: here you go
Lorelai: thank you…do you know where Luke is
Just as she said that Luke walked into the door and heard her voice
Luke: Lorelai
Lorelai turned around and saw Luke and that's when everyone went quiet
Lorelai: hi Luke
Luke: its been awhile
Lorelai looked around and saw people staring at them: can we talk
Luke looked around and saw what she meant
Luke: yea follow me
Luke led Lorelai upstairs and when she got there she noticed Luke's stuff everywhere
Lorelai: you live here
Luke: yea
Lorelai: what happened with Anna
Luke: Anna and I divorced three months ago
Lorelai: why
Luke: I told her about Rory and you
Lorelai: oh how's April taking it
Luke: I don't know
Lorelai: Luke she is your daughter
Luke: Chris didn't tell you did he
Lorelai: I haven't spoken to Chris since Sookie's wedding what was Chris supposed to tell me
Luke: April isn't my daughter
Lorelai: what
Luke: Anna was sleeping with Chris while you and I were together
Lorelai: What…How
Luke: I went to talk to Anna and Chris was there I ended up hearing their conversation they were saying April isn't my daughter she is Chris's daughter. I tried to find you
Lorelai: I can't believe it. But I did know that you tried to find me I was there
Luke: what
Lorelai: I was at my parent's house when you should up
Luke: why didn't you come to the door
Lorelai: I needed time to figure things out on my own
Luke: have you
Lorelai: almost I have decided to enrol Rory into Stars Hollow Elementary and I bought a house here in town. Rory needs her father and I thought you should get to know her
Luke: what about you and I
Lorelai: I don't know Luke I am not ready. You broke my heart 7 years ago
Luke: so did you
Lorelai: what are you talking about
Luke: you married Chris even though you knew you were pregnant with my child
Lorelai: you left me
Luke: you could have told me
Lorelai: I am not arguing with you
Lorelai turned to leave when Luke grabbed her and kissed her. Lorelai melted in his arms when Luke walked her towards the bed, Lorelai ended up stopping Luke
Lorelai: stop Luke
Luke: what
Lorelai: I have to go
Lorelai ran out of his apartment and out of the diner. Lorelai got into her car and headed to pick up Rory. Over the next few days Lorelai avoided Luke, however Luke ran into Lorelai one afternoon and they agreed that they would just be friends and raise Rory together. Everyone in town could see the sexual tension between the two. They all started taking bets on how long it would be before Luke and Lorelai got together. One afternoon Rory went to the diner after school and found Luke.
Luke: hey kiddo
Rory: hi can I have a grilled cheese
Luke: coming up
10 minutes later Luke placed Rory's food in front of her and watched her eat
Rory: thanks daddy
Luke looked up and smiled at Rory. Rory returned the smile and conitued to eat. Lorelai finished her shift at the independence Inn so she went to the diner since she knew Rory was there. Luke saw her coming so he started her food. Lorelai noticed Rory had finished her food and was reading a book.
Lorelai: hi babe
Rory: hi mommy
Lorelai: did you have a good day
Rory: yep daddy made me a grilled cheese
Lorelai: he did
Luke noticed Lorelai had sat down so he brought her food. Lorelai looked up and smiled at Luke
Lorelai: thank you
Luke: no problem…so I was wondering what you and Rory were doing this weekend
Lorelai: oh Rory is free but I have a wedding going on at the Inn
Luke: oh okay
Lorelai: why
Luke: well I was wondering if you and Rory wanted to go to New York with me. I am helping my sister move and she has a son around Rory's age
Lorelai: you can take Rory this weekend I can't get out of the wedding
Luke: sure no problem…kiddo you want to meet your cousin Jess
Rory: sure daddy
Lorelai finished her food and took Rory home. Lorelai knew she had to stop the feeling she was having about Luke. Luke also had the same feeling for Lorelai but he knew he had to do something but he knew he should wait until after he and Rory came home. Luke came over Saturday morning and picked up Rory. Lorelai then headed to the Inn. When Sunday night came and Rory and Luke hadn't returned Lorelai started to panic. Lorelai looked at the clock and it was 3am and they weren't home. Lorelai started to call Luke and again and got his voicemail. Lorelai was about to leave another message when she heard a knock on the door.
Lorelai: about time…oh hi
Cop 1: are you Lorelai Gilmore
Lorelai: yes can I help you
Cop 2: I am afraid we have some bad news….
