Part 2.

"Oh my." Rory stopped dead in her tracks. Dean kept walking obviosly not seeing who stood in front of them.

"Rory come on." Dean jerked on her hand but she didn't budge. "What's wrong?" He shifted his gaze over to where Rory was staring. He didn't see anything. He gave her a confused look and leaned forward. "Listen, I have to go. It's almost 4. I have to give Clara a ride to Hartford for brownies." He held her hand and leaned down to give her a kiss then let go and slowly walked away.

"Bye! Call me when you get back!"

"I will." He yelled over his shoulder as he jogged home.

"Rory!"

"Dad! What are you doing here?" She ran into her father's arm and he embrassed her in a hug. "Your back!"

"I'm back!" He put her down.

"Why, I mean for how long?"

"Christmas I'm hoping. Are you going away?"

"No, were just having another Christmas in Stars Hol... wait did you just say that you were staying here for Christmas?!?"

"Yep."

"YAY!" She hugged him again and pulled him into the diner. Lorelai and Luke were there bickering at that counter. "Mom! Look who's here!!!" Lorelai turned around on her stool.

"CHRIS!" She shot down and practicly knocked him out the door with a huge hug.

"Woah, do you want me here or not?" He braced himself and sat down with them at the counter.

"Mom! Dad's staying for Christmas!" Chris just grinned. Lorelai gave him a quizzicle look and gazed at him in disbeleif.

"Really?"

"Really! Holiday's with the Gilmore girls!"

"Brace yourself. Be afraid, be very afraid." Luke cut in. "Can I get you anything?"

"He'll have a muffin and some coffee." Lorelai ordered.

"I will?"

"Yes."

"Coming right up." He came back a minute later with a muffin in a bag and a coffee. "Here you go."

"Thanks." He said. Lorelai snatched the coffee off the counter and ran to the door to protect it. "I can't beleive you didn't see that coming. Your loosing your touch!"

"And your loosing your mind!" She ran out and Rory and Christopher followed.

"Wow still not used to that!" Lorelai got out as she stared at the Volvo in front of her.

"Yeah well. The soundsystem gets better everytime I come! You want some music?" He asked as they crawled into the car.

"Crank up the beach boys baby don't let the music stop!"

"Look at these woman, ain't nothing like them nowhere." Lorelai and Chris shared knowing grins as he fiddled with the c.d. player before starting off.

"Okay you two, stop singing Randy Newman and put on the music. Although everyone 'Loves L.A.' I like real music better." Rory suggested. Music quickly started and Rory snuggled in the back seat, happy that her Dad was home.

Rory put down the phone and walked back into the kitchen to meet her parents. She had been on the phone with Dean.

"Well, is he going to come?"

"He'll be here at seven."

"What's tonight?" Christopher asked as he ate his pizza.

"Gilmore Movie Night of course!" Lorelai looked at him like he was crazy.

"Oh yah." he said.

"Ok, you clean up and we're going to go get the stuff."

"What stuff?"

"Oh you know, a movie, gummie bears, chips, nachos, cheesies, mints, sour suthers, worms, the usual!"

" I don't know where everything goes."

"Ok, you go with mom and I'll clean up the kitchen. No tear jerkers!"

"Got it." They grabbed their coats and shuffled through the door. After they walked in silience for awhile he spoke up. "Are you glad I'm here?"

"Of course. I love it when you come around. I just. I don't know, you hardly ever do come around."

"I know. But Boston is close, and I really like living there."

"How's your girlfriend liking it?" She looked at him look uncomfortable.

"We broke up after I got home from here last time. I guess her heart wasn't in it. It wasn't meant to be."

"Who called it off?"

"Well we both did."

"So she dumped you huh?"

"Yeah." THey giggled.

"When I told her about you and Rory and all that stuff and how I wanted to be here with you more often she said I had to choose."

"And you chose us?"

"Obviosly!"

"Hum. Good I'm glad. Rory's really happy to have you here."

"Thanks." He said as they walked into Doosey's Market.

"You realize that you now have to come to my parents annual chrismas party now that your here for Christmas."

"How did I get sucked into that!?!" She grinned evily and shoved a bunch of candy in her basket. "Hungry much?"

"Not really, this isn't much." She skipped over to the chip isle and dumped 5 bags into his basket. "What is much really?"

"Your contaminating our daughter."

"Not yet." She ran over to the coffee isle, most often refered to as the Lorelai isle, and pulled a 10 pound coffee can off the shelf. "Now, I'm contaminating our daughter!"
