A/N: You will now find out who is trying to crash the wedding. What is he going to do? Read and see. Enjoy!
"What are you doing here!" Rory asked the man as she approached him.
"Is that any way to treat your dad?" Christopher asked her.
Rory looked over her shoulder at Luke. "Father," she corrected Chris.
"Father, Dad, same thing," Chris dismissed.
"Yeah, not really," Rory whispered. "Anyway, I don't think you answered my previous question. And to add to that, how did you know Mom was getting married today?"
"Richard told some people who told my dad who told me," Chris rattled off distractedly. He was searching the crowd and Rory could tell. She knew exactly who he was searching for and hoping he didn't find her. She quickly tried to get his attention back on her.
"So, back to that first question, what are you doing here?" Rory asked again.
Christopher shrugged. "I just wanted to see your mother."
"Wonderful," Rory muttered. "Well, I'll tell her you were here. I guess I'll see you later."
Christopher didn't move. "How about you can tell her now? And I'll join the festivities."
Rory rolled her eyes. "I should have known this wasn't going to be easy. I haven't seen Wedding Crashers in a while, but I don't want a repeat of any part of that at this wedding. Besides, you weren't invited for a reason. If you join the festivities, do you know the rumors that would be flying. Rumors are flying probably because you are here. Please, just leave."
"I will not leave until I see your mother," Christopher insisted.
"Do you have to be here and ruin this day for her as well?" Rory questioned. "You have ruined everything except this. Please, don't ruin this also!"
"I have ruined nothing," Christopher told Rory. "All I have done is try to show her that she belongs with me."
Rory rolled her eyes, "And that has ruined things. She believes you, I believe you and then you leave her. Leave us."
"What is your problem?" Christopher asked Rory. "Don't all children want their parents to be together?"
Rory looked over her shoulder at her mom and Luke again. "They are," she whispered.
"Excuse me?" Christopher inquired not thinking he heard her right. "What did you say?"
Rory was trying to think of an excuse, but then she wondered why she was worried about protecting him. Maybe if she made him mad enough he would leave. "I said they are," Rory told him louder.
"I am your dad!" Christopher exclaimed.
"Again, father," Rory corrected. "Only my biological father who wanted nothing to do with me."
"I asked your mother to marry me," Christopher defended himself.
"And because she said no that gave you permission to run off to California and never see me?" Rory asked, her voice a little higher. "Because she said no, you sent me birthday cards three months late, never had a stable address and never had a phone number where we could reach you? Because she said no, it gave you permission not to care?"
"Christopher, what are you doing here?" Lorelai asked from behind Rory.
"This just keeps getting better and better," Rory muttered quietly. "Mom, why don't you go back and dance. You coming over here draws attention to us and therefore will send rumors flying even more. Go back and dance with Dad."
"What did you just say?" Christopher cried. "I am your dad."
Rory shook her head. "You gave that title up long ago when you refused to care about me. At least Luke cares."
"The diner man?" Christopher asked, his voice a few pitches higher. He was very upset.
"Luke," Rory repeated. "He has a name."
"I can't believe she thinks that diner man is her father. This is all your fault," Christopher accused Lorelai.
"No, I know you're my father," Rory assured Chris. "It's just Luke is my dad."
"It's the same thing!" Christopher yelled, repeating the same thing he had already told her and she had already denied.
"We are not going over this again," Rory sighed. "I don't have time to explain the difference to you now."
"What are you doing here?" Lorelai repeated, trying to diffuse the fight between her ex-lover and her daughter.
"I just wanted to ask you if you are sure about this marriage Lore," Chris said, turning all his attention to her.
Lorelai laughed. "Do you think I would be here standing in a wedding dress if I wasn't?"
"But Lore, I love you," Chris said repeating what he had said many times.
Lorelai rolled her eyes. "How many times have you told me that? And how many times have you actually showed me?"
"Well, none," Chris admitted. "But things have changed now."
"Yeah, things have," Rory agreed, jumping in to the conversation. "Mom is married."
Chris roughly grabbed Rory's arm. "But she can get out of it."
"Why would she want to get out of it?" Rory asked, trying not to show him how surprised she was that he had her arm. "Certainly not to marry you."
"You are becoming more and more disrespectful with every passing day," Christopher spat out to Rory.
"I am respectful to people who deserve it," Rory told him nonchalantly.
Christopher's eyes got wide and he gripped her arm tighter.
"You can let go of my arm now," Rory said. She thought he had forgot he had a hold of it.
"Did I make a mark on it?" Chris asked a bit worried. No matter how mad she had made him he would never intentionally hurt Rory.
"If you did, you will be so sorry," Lorelai told him venom lacing her words.
Rory nodded rubbing her arm, trying not to let her voice shake. "Yes, there is a mark and if you know what's good for you, you'll leave. That is, if you don't want to be ripped to shreds by Luke and Jess."
After she said that, she rushed inside the inn. She wasn't going to let Chris see her cry. Rory was also angry at herself for letting him get to her. She had taught herself long ago to not let Chris affect her, but he still did. The worst part was, he only made her cry.
Lorelai watched her daughter run away from Chris. "Okay, I think you need to leave now. You have caused your usual drama. It's time for me to fix it. Like I always do."
She started to walk away, but then turned back to him. "I'm going to go tell Luke what I'm going to do and if you are still here when I'm finished, Luke will take care of you."
Lorelai walked over to where Luke and Jess were standing together. "Where is Rory?" Jess asked concerned.
"Inside," Lorelai replied. "I'm getting ready to go get her."
"Is she okay?" Luke asked, just as concerned as Jess.
"She…will be," Lorelai answered.
"If he hurt her I'll kill him," Luke growled.
Lorelai smiled at his protectiveness; it was nice and one of the many reasons she loved him.
"He didn't really hurt her," Lorelai evaded. She wasn't exactly sure how to explain everything to Luke. "Just the usual stuff."
"It's not fair," Jess mused.
"What isn't?" Lorelai questioned.
"He doesn't understand how important he is to her," Jess explained. "Whether he has been here or not, he is still her father. He could make her happy if he tried. He has the power to make her happy or sad and all he's ever doing is making her sad. I think I'll help you kill him, Luke."
Lorelai laughed. "Well, we're lucky. I have a husband and she has a dad who will do anything to make us happy." She looked up at Luke. "And who will never make us cry."
Luke took her hand. "I would kill myself before I would make either of you cry."
Lorelai smiled. "I know. And it is hugely appreciated." She stood on her tiptoes to reach his lips. "I love you," Lorelai whispered.
"I love you too," Luke whispered back to her and then deepened the kiss.
Jess let them have a few moments, but then jolted them out of their romantic moment by clearing his throat. "If I'm not mistaken, Lorelai, you have someone in the inn that needs attending to right now."
"And he is right," Lorelai confirmed. "I'll see you both in a few minutes." Lorelai's smile grew wider as she turned to look at the inn and noticed Chris was gone.
So, I'm not sure that Chris was very dramatic with his wedding crashing…but maybe? Also, next time, we'll see Rory and Lorelai talking and we'll also see Luke and Jess have a talk about Rory. I hope you liked this. Please review!
