... She remembered loving Christopher since he was five, and since then she had never loved anyone the same way, not even Max...
Lorelai walked, and walked, and walked. She tried to think about things clearly, but everything was too jumbled inside her head. Should she have the baby, should she move to Europe so she would not bring shame to her family, should she marry Christopher. Hours had past when she arrived at Christopher's house. She walked around towards the back, and tapped on Christopher's window. He walked over and pushed it upward.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, as he helped her into the room.
"I told my parents. I don't think they're taking it well." Lorelai said, trying to be her usual sarcastic self. She paused, started to say something, but then succumbed to tears. She then wiped her eyes with avengence. " I have to go back there, I'm their daughter, they're going to have to accept this at some point."
"Are you delirious? If you go back there they are going to eat you alive."
"I don't care Chris, I have to deal with this." Lorelai started towards the open window when he stopped her.
"Fine but your in no condition to be walking the streets at night, I'll drive you."
"Chris, I am only 9 weeks pregnant, I can still walk."
"I'm not driving you because you're pregnant, I'm driving you because you are nuts." He picked his keys off the dresser, and led Lorelai towards the window.

They reached Lorelai's house, to see it pitch black inside.
"Nobody's home. You're lucky. You better go now."
"You're right." He gave her a kiss on the forehead and went back to his car.
At his car, he noticed Lorelai's jacket sitting on the passenger seat. He picked it up and ran back to the house. He opened the door and went inside. He saw Lorelai still in the front foyer, sobbing in a chair. He went up to her and hugged her, she stood up and he rocked her back and forth in her arms. The door slammed open, Richard's silhouette standing in the doorway, he drunkingly stumbled in and turned on the light, making him squint his eyes to adjust to the light. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes to see Lorelai in Christopher's arms.
"What in the hell is wrong with you? You already knocked up my daughter, you got what you wanted, why are you here now?" He had a bottle of liquor in his hand, and as he walked closer liquor splashed out on to the marble floor.
"Dad..." Lorelai started to walk closer to him to stop him from tripping over himself.but he put out his hand to stop her.
"You," he pointed to Christopher, " You sleep with my daughter, make her pregnant, and now, now you won't even marry her. You make me sick." Then Richard jumped on top of him, punching him harder and harder with each swing.
"DAD! Get off of him!" Lorelai ran over to the tangled mass that was her father and her boyfriend. She caught Richard's arm in an upswing and pulled on it until he stood up, leaving Christopher's crumpled body on the floor. She then bent down and helped Christopher onto his feet. Richard watched his daughter gently touch Christopher's bruised cheek, before he ran up the stairs.
"Are you okay?" Lorelai asked, knowing the answer was no.
Christopher changed the subject, "What was he talking about 'I won't even marry you?'"
"He's drunk Chris, he doesn't even know what he's talking about. You better go now before he comes back down with his lucky baseball bat." Lorelai walked over to the door and opened it. He gave her a half smile and walked out the door.
Lorelai shut it, and walked into the dark parlor. She was about to turn around when she heard a voice.
"You're not going to marry him, are you." The monotone voice of Emily spoke from the chair in the corner.
"Mom, you, you scared me." Lorelai stood still in the middle of the room.
" You didn't answer me, Lorelai."
Lorelai looked down at her feet. " I know."
Lorelai walked, and walked, and walked. She tried to think about things clearly, but everything was too jumbled inside her head.
