AN: All I have done today is watch Gilmore Girls, write and listen to my favorite podcast. So here is chapter 9! I will make you a promise; next chapter will not be as sad and dramatic. Chapter 10 will be funny, cute and whatnot. So here, some drama, some crying, some Chris getting hit by Luke and someone else (not physically though, violence is not good, okay maybe a little violence) seriously, my hate for Chris is pretty bad, but the guy who played him tweeted me once so uh, I do like him a little.
Rory, April and Luke sat on the couch and Lorelai stood before them
"Okay, tonight is going to be hard. But we can do this! We are Gilmore-Danes-Nardini's and we can beat the Hayden! Rory, just remember your dad loves you and whatever happens happens. Luke, remember that Chris will say stuff just to piss you off and you need to keep your cool. April, you are our buffer, anytime Chris gets out of line just help us by jumping in. Oh and remember that Gigi will be there and she is only 3 so no cussing, or screaming." Lorelai smiled "Let's do this!" with that the four got up and left, ready to concur whatever came.
At the Gilmore house
"Okay, count of three" Lorelai said as she reached the door. Chris's car was already outside so they knew they had to be prepared.
Lorelai rang the bell.
"Hello" Emily opened the door smiling big "You all look lovely, April that dress is darling"
"Thank you Emily" April smiled sweetly.
Luke held Lorelai's hand as they walked in, on the couch by the French doors Chris sat with Gigi next to him.
"Lore!" Chris stood up and walked over
"Hi Chris, hey Gigi" She smiled
"Hi Lorelai. RORY!" Gigi ran over to her sister and gave her a hug.
They all settled down, Chris and Gigi on one couch, Luke, Lorelai, Rory on another April and Emily in the chairs near the dining room and Richard in the chair by Christopher.
They sat in silence.
"So Lore, how is the inn" Chris asked
"Oh, it is great, booked solid for the holidays" She smiled politely
"God I always knew you would do it, I mean I remember when we were what, 10 and you said all you wanted was to be in charge, and now you are"
"Well, Lorelai is amazing" Luke said taking her hand in his.
Chris glared at Luke.
"Rory how is school" Richard asked
"Oh great, I love it. I can't believe it is my senior year" Rory smiled
"Yeah I remember when you were 14 and you graduated middle school so your mom brought you in and made me give you coffee" Luke smiled, he could play hard ball if Chris wanted to
"Well I remember when Rory was 6 and it was Christmas and she and Lorelai sang Rudolph all night" Chris said
"Chris chill" Lorelai warned
Everyone went silent
"Daddy why is everyone so quiet, did someone die" Gigi asked causing everyone to laugh
"Gigi, why don't you show Rory you tamacatchi?" Chris said
"Okay!" the little girl walked over to Rory.
"Rory, you and Gigi are so much alike"
"How would you know dad, when I was three you were off in California with some whore" Rory couldn't believe what she had said
"Rory!" Emily screeched.
"Sorry" Rory sighed as Gigi ran back in the room with a toy
"Dinner is ready" A maid said
"Thank god" Lorelai mumbled.
"April how is school" Richard asked April who sat between Luke and Lorelai
"Oh, I love it" April smiled
"Will you be transferring to Stars Hollow when Luke and Lorelai are married?" Emily asked
"No, I mean I want to finish middle school with my friends. Maybe next year"
"That is if they get married" Chris mumbled
"What was that?" Luke said
"Well, I mean you postponed it once" Chris said smugly
"Dad, come on" Rory looked over Gigi's head to Chris.
Chris kept eating
"1…2…3…" Lorelai whispered to Luke trying to calm him
"So, Christopher how is business" Richard asked
"Great, the company I will be working with in Paris is great. I am really excited for it"
"That's great. Floyd and I were talking about the business world and you know Paris is great."
"Floyd, as in Jason's father right?" Chris pointed out
"Uh, yes" Richard said
"Lore I heard a rumor you dated him" Chris said
"Jason and I dated yes, but he turned out to be a jerk, why Chris?" Lorelai asked
"I don't know, just think it is funny, you wouldn't marry be but you dated him" Chris pointed out.
Lorelai sighed. "Hey, Rory, why don't you take Gigi and April upstairs and show them the glass dolls in my old room"
"Okay" Rory helped Gigi up and April walked over. The three made their way upstairs
"What's going to happen?" April asked
"Let's just say, I don't think Chris will be invited to the wedding"
"Okay, go ahead Chris, say what you want" Lorelai said
"Lorelai stop, no need to be dramatic" Emily said
"Mom, Chris has been making snide remarks all night, he wants to say something, so let him"
"Fine, here is what I want to say. Lorelai, I love you, I will always love you and you shouldn't be with this piece of shit! You belong with me! You say you love him but I think you are only saying that because it scares you to love me. We were going to be together! When Sookie and Jackson were getting married, but I screwed up, and now you are screwing up! You and I are suppose to be together! Emily, Richard back me up here, I should be with Lorelai!"
Everyone was silent
Luke turned and walked out of the room
"Luke wait, please" Lorelai began to follow "Seriously Chris! Why are you doing this!"
Chris tried to walk over to Lorelai but Richard grabbed his arm "get away from my daughter"
Luke came back in with all the coats "Come on Lorelai, we are leaving"
"Lorelai! Please! I love you!"
"Christopher, she is with me, get over it" Luke said
Chris lunged at Luke, punching him in the face
"Oh My God!" Emily screamed
Upstairs Rory and April listen from the stairs while Gigi ran from one end of the hall to the other
Luke pushed Chris to the wall and retured the punch
"Chris! Luke! Stop it! Stop" Lorelai tried to stop them but Chris hit Luke again.
"Richard do something! Emily said grabbing Lorelai's arm and pulling her close
Richard pulled Luke and Chris back "Both of you stop this at once"
"Lorelai, I love you damn it! Please, I can be your husband!" Chris obviously had to much to drink.
Luke lunged for Chris but Richard stopped them.
"Stop this!" Richard said to them
"Christopher, I love Luke. I am marrying Luke. You need to get over it!" Lorelai felt herself cry, Emily wrapped her arms around Lorelai's arm.
"Lorelai, we have a past" Chris began again
"And it ended when you left me for Sherry. I haven't loved you for three years Chris, I am over you, I am over the fantasy of being with you. I love Luke" Lorelai stepped forward to him "Please, Christopher, stop this"
"Christopher, I think it is time you leave" Emily said.
"I will leave, but Lorelai, first, look me in the eye and tell me you have no feeling left for me, not one" Chris stepped forward
Lorelai looked into his eyes
Richard, Emily and Luke watched, now from the bottom of the stairs April and Rory listened.
"Christopher, I don't have any feelings for you, I don't love you" Chris lifted his hand and slapped Lorelai.
Rory gasped at the noise of her dad hitting her mom and ran for Lorelai, April in tow
"Christopher!" Richard now lunged for him
"Mom!" Rory ran to her mother's side.
"Get the hell out of here" Rory yelled to Chris who was being escorted out by Richard. Gigi ran to her dad and they were gone, Richard slammed he door and went to his daughter.
Lorelai sat in her mother's chair and held her cheek crying. Rory stood by her side and hugged her.
"I will get some ice" Emily said.
"Dad, you are bleeding" April said
"I am okay kid. Really" Luke then went to Lorelai
She looked up and then stood up and hugged him "I love you Luke" she said
"Come on, let's get you home. Rory, you drive."
The car ride was silent, Rory drove and Lorelai held an ice pack to her cheek in the front. April stared out the window and Luke looked at his feet till they got to the crap shack.
Once inside Rory looked at April "Let's give them some space" she said and escorted April to what was now their room.
"You okay" Luke asked
"Yes. are you?" Lorelai replied
"I want to kill him" He said
"He was angry, drunk, sad, he was stupid" Lorelai said
"Why are you defending him?" Luke questioned
"I have no idea" Lorelai sunk into the couch.
"Lorelai" Luke sat next to her
"Yeah"
"Did you mean it, when you said you have no feelings for him. Not one?"
"I mean it. I feel nothing but bad for Chris" She looked into his eyes
"Good" Luke kissed her and pulled away slowly
"I can't believe this happened" Lorelai shook her head
"Yeah" Luke looked at her and kissed her again.
"I love you Luke"
"I love you too Lorelai"
They continued to kiss.
In The Bedroom
"Well, tonight was interesting" April said
"I know"
"I am sorry Rory, that your dad is so, well, you know"
"It's okay, I have Luke, as long as you don't mind sharing him?"
"Nope, as long as you don't mind sharing Lorelai?"
Rory walked over to April and gave her a hug
"I love you sis" She said
"I love you too Rory" April smiled
