Gimme Gimme Gimme

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

AN: so… I think that I am making Chris more evil than I should, but I just don't like him. In the play that this story is based off of, I love Chris's supposed character. He is sweet and wonderful and any girl would be lucky to be connected to, but to keep some aspects of Gilmore Girl universe, I had to change that. Hope you guys like this.. And because it's my reading week, that's why there is two parts updated in two days. Yay me!

Rory saw Luke at the bar and she approached after making sure that lane and Paris were distracting the other two far way from sight and that Lorelai was in the back dancing with Sookie and Rachel, who seemed to be inadvertently helping her without realizing what she was up to. Luke looked over at her and he did the classic comedic double take and she almost smiled, but she figured that would freak Luke out.

'Hi.' Rory said while sipping her frilly drink that Rachel had ordered for her earlier. Luke looked around and then smiled at her. 'Hey.' They were both silent for a second and Luke looked around. 'So some party, any reason for the celebration?' and Rory shrugged. 'It's my bachelorette party. It's my mom's last fete for me before I marry Jess.' Luke looked shocked. How old was this girl? 18, 19? 'Wow, your getting married young.' The minute Luke said it, he realized how rude that sounded and looked contrite, but Rory just laughed.

'No, I'm 23, Mom had me after a summer of love apparently.' She looked at his face, hoping to see something. Meanwhile Luke was trying not to look like his world was falling around him. That couldn't be true right? She couldn't be messing with him. If so, it would be cruel, and something he could never prepare for.

Luke instead gives Rory a look. 'So Luke, you've ever been married, have any kids?' Rory asked all the while hoping she had a half sister or brother. Something to make a transition easier. You could focus on them rather than this newly discovered dad. Luke smiled. 'Yeah, I have a daughter. April. She's 13, and … ' Luke just shrugged and Rory smiled too. He brought out his wallet and showed Rory a picture, and Rory tried not to gasp. April looked so much like her, but she didn't want to say anything in case it was just a coincidence. Wasn't black hair and deep blue eyes common?

'Wow, she's beautiful.' Rory said and Luke nodded. 'Yes she is, so tell me about this boy your marrying.' Luke said all the while trying not to notice how Rory looked so familiar to him, and he couldn't figure out why. It was like he had seen her every day of his life, and that only know did he notice what she looked like. He attributed it to the fact that she looked so much like Lorelai.

'Jess sis amazing, he has this diner in town, and he has made the town liven up even more, and he…he's my world.' Rory says and for the first time a relaxed smile comes to her lips and Luke realizes something. His daughter's lips quirk in the same way and something in his mind goes off. Hadn't Rory said that he was born after a summer in New York? Luke began to look at Rory even more carefully and that something that had been hiding in the back of his mind. She did look like Lorelai that's for sure, but at the same time there was something familiar about her that wasn't about Lorelai. It was like he knew her for much longer than the few glimpses.

'I haven't met your father yet have I?' Luke asked and Rory shrugged. 'I doubt it, since I don't know how my father is.' Luke of course felt completely struck by this and before he could say anything Rory was pulled away and he was left with the thought that maybe there was more to the story than he originally thought.

Rory saw Christopher standing outside on the patio of the club. He smiled at her and she stood and looked out. 'So your Lorelai's daughter huh? I guess looks run in the family." Rory tried not to look disgusted and she smiled. 'I guess, so have you ever been married?' Rory asks casually and Chris chuckles. 'Oh yeah, more than once. It never stuck.' Rory just nodded. 'You know, your mother and I were really close at a time.' Chris says and Rory tries not to be slightly creeped out.

'The first time I saw her; I just knew that we were meant to be more than friends. But we never got the chance really. Some wild nights, one especially wild night at the Waldorf, but other than that, it was nothing to write home about. But if I had more time, I gotta tell ya, it would have been something.' Rory nodded all the while trying to figure out how this is supposed to somehow solve the big mystery of who her father was.

'Oh?' She said all the while praying he wouldn't go into details. Was this what this man was about? Talking about hr mother like that made her feel uncomfortable, but any information he had, was key. 'Oh yeah. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Smart too. Funny and sharp, and everything I thought I deserved, but by the time I got there, she was hung up on some guy. I guess it's the luck of the draw.'

Rory nodded but Christopher didn't even really notice her. 'You know Sherry said I was too hung up on a girl from the past. But once you meet the one, how can you just let it go. But I came on too strong.'

Christopher shrugged and looked at Rory. 'So have I met your father yet, I would really like to shake the hand of the guy who finally caught Lorelai Gilmore.' Rory tried not to look kind of disgusted and she was about to leave, but she felt that she should say something other than oh. 'If you meet him, do me a favor and introduce me,' Rory left without another word in a huff, and decided to get something strong to get the stench of gross off of her.

It took her more than an hour of dancing to finally get up the courage to approach Max who was still engaged in a battle with Lane about the recent battle of the bands that Lane had organized. 'Your crazy, they were no talent hacks.' Lane shouted and Max just shook his head. 'You can be so cynical.' Max said with a smile. 'Well I'm going to go and see what Lorelai is up to.' Lane says and hightails it out of there, but she winks at Rory before she goes off.

'So how's the bachelorette party going?' Max asks and Rory shrugs. 'Its good, but I'm not a dancing person.' Max smiles. 'Not something you got from your mom huh? Rory chuckled. 'Definitely not. So what was my mom like when you knew her?' Rory asked.

She had known her mother now, and of course her childhood memories, but she always wondered was her mother always like the free spirit, or was that the symptom of her freedom from her parents.

'When I met your mother.. She was free and excitable but I met her after a tough summer. She had down moments, but she really loved New York. We just had fun. Your mom, so full of life and really quick wit. We had fun. You're lucky.' Rory smiled and looked over at her mom who was dancing up a storm with Sookie and Paris. 'I always wanted to know what she was like before she had me. When he wasn't bogged down by a kid and responsibility and being a career woman.' Max looked at Rory in speculation. 'I am sure that she would never look at life like that. The Lorelai I knew, and I may have not known her a long time, she was not one to look at anything as a burden, and I've seen the way she looks like you. I only wish my parents looked at me, maybe I would have turned out different.' Max shrugged and looked around while Rory looked transfixed.

Max may or may not be her dad, but at that moment she wished he was. Luke may have the deep connection to her mother, but really did he care if he had any other kids? He may not even care about her, not really. She was just Lorelai's daughter. But max, she could tell that he would be into being her dad. He would … want to walk her down the aisle.

'So Max, have you been married?' Max smiled. 'Yeah once, to a great girl, but she died.' Max smiled sadly at her, and then she looked at him sadly. 'I'm sorry.' He took a sip form his beer. 'It happened a long time ago, we knew it was going to happen, but that doesn't make it better. Reminds me of your mom sometimes, that zest for life.' Rory felt sad. 'So, have I met your dad in town?' Max asks and Rory is still on Max's tragedy that she doesn't really come up with a lie. 'I doubt it, I don't know who he is.' Max looks shocked.

'I guess my mom's summer in New York was really good.' Rory says and Max looks at her shocked and she shrugs. She doesn't want anything from Max at the moment. Because she looks over and her mom and Luke are talking.

Across the club Lorelai twirls around and she sees something form the corner of her eye that makes her stop. Luke is leaning against the bar and he is smiling at her, and she thinks of the first time she saw him. He was virtually standing the same way and it makes her heart pound. She starts to walk towards him and all she remembers the most intimate moments and the most casual. Right before she reaches him she remembers what his voice sounded like when he would whisper that he loved her. It brought tears to her eyes, and she blinked them away.

Luke was grinning at her and she stopped and moved so she was standing beside her, and the particular spot was full of people and she had to touch hi a little and that brought her into this super over sensitive trance like feeling. 'Hey' She says and Luke smiles at her and his eyes are so warm and she just chuckles. 'Hey yourself, so I talked to Rory.' Luke says. 'Oh? Lorelai replies and he nods. 'Yes, she says and tries not to hide even the slightest amount of panic. She had seen Rory talking to Max too, but by the smiles she knew it wasn't anything serious.

'Yeah, she seems like a great kid. Inquisitive but really amazing. She seems to really love.. Jess?' Lorelai nods. 'Yup that's my Rory, Investigative reporter extradonaire.' She looks over where Rory was, and she wasn't there anymore, and she just hopes that her daughter is having a good time wherever she is. 'So I haven't met her father is he. Uh..' Luke doesn't even have a chance to finish before Lorelai had a sour look on her face. 'That's none of your business Luke.' She looks at him and she is once again reminded about the past and she sighs. 'Why did you not show up Luke? Are you really that unfeeling.'

Luke of course looks shocked. 'What?' Lorelai huffs a little. 'You never even said goodbye, you said you would stay in touch, that we would be at least something, but you left with no warning, and there were things I needed to tell you. And you sit here and act like everything is fine. You have some nerve Lucas Danes.'

Before Luke could even begin to respond Lorelai stomped off and left Luke in a daze. Luke was completely confused. She was the one who didn't call him. He had to leave yes early, but he left messages at her dorm, and he had given all his numbers. What was he supposed to do? Women.
