Title: All I Want For Christmas Is You
Summary: It's Christmas in Stars Hollow, and romance is in the air.
Pairings: R/J, L/L, L/C
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance/Humor
Setup: Dean and Rory broke up at the Dance Marathon, but Jess did not follow Rory to the bridge, and they act like nothing's between them. Lorelai didn't go to Sherrie's baby shower (Heh. I just noticed it said 'show'. Kind of fitting, yes?), and she and Rory are still not speaking to Chris. The rest of the show is the same. Set to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. I cut and moved and pasted and altered the lyrics to fit my own needs, but they're still not mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the lyrics.
Distribution: Sure, why not? Just email me and tell me where.
Author's Note: Pure, cheesy, one hundred percent Christmas fluff. I'm in the Christmas spirit. I can't help myself. It's a sickness. The chapters are going to be SHORT and FLUFFY, because I'm working on "The Waiting Room" and that takes up a lot of my time. Please check that one out and tell me what you think! (Not a R/J..I flip flop between the 'ships..R/J to R/T to L/C to L/L..)
I'm going to post the last chapter on Christmas Eve, most likely, and I realize this ending is somewhat abrupt, but I want to get to where I'm going and to get there by Christmas. This is definitely not my best work, because it transfers from slow pacing and no plot and all the action in the last two or three chapters. Anyway, just wanted to apologize.
Yes, I know this chapter is tres tres short. And just so corny and sappy.but come on now! It's Christmas! Feel the clichéd love!
Feedback: Reviews are like crack to me. I need them. I get them, I'm a happy happy girl with inspiration. I don't, I'm well..not. On both counts. :hinthint:

.I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight.
Lorelai paused, words refusing to come. "Okay." she said slowly, moving aside to allow the shivering Christopher into her home.
An unreadable look was on his face as she stared at him, shocked that he had come here. They stood in silence for a long moment. Chris started to open his mouth to speak, but Lorelai shushed him. "Rory's asleep, let's go to the living room." She turned on her heel and went, Christopher following behind her.
Again, they stood facing each other, words not passing between him. Lorelai broke the silence by asking abruptly, "What are you DOING here?"
Chris sighed and fiddled with the zipper on his leather jacket. Up and down, up and down, rhythmically he pulled it. He finally said, "I needed to see you."
"Expand, please?" Lorelai demanded as she sat down on the couch expectantly. "First off, where's Sherry?"
"She's at home."
"Doesn't know you're gone?"
"She does."
"Oh."
Christopher took a seat across from Lorelai, who tried to ignore how he seemed to fit perfectly in their living room. "I've been thinking-"
"That's always good."
"Lorelai, please?" Christopher said. She took heed of the tone in his voice and stayed silent. He continued, "We haven't been happy. She knows it, I know it..she understands we can't raise our child right if we're fighting all the time." Lorelai watched the muscles tense in Chris's neck and arms as he carried on, "She sat me down yesterday, and.she told me to go to you."
"Why?"
"God damn it, Lorelai! You know why!" Christopher said loudly. "Why are you being so difficult?"
"Be quiet!" Lorelai shushed him. "And I'm not being difficult. You can try to beat around the bush as much as you like, but I'm not going to let you. Say whatever you have to say straight out, Chris, or I swear-"
"I love you."
That wasn't exactly what she expected to hear, although it had been want she wanted to. "What?"
"I'm not asking for much. I know I don't deserve you, I don't deserve to be forgiven, but I love you. I always have. I've put you through some awful things, treated you and Rory like shit, but I want to be here. I want to be with you. I want to be a family."
Lorelai fought the tears that threatened to drip from her eyes. "How do I know I can trust you?"
Chris was hurt, and he showed it, but he also knew she was right. "You can't. But I promise you."
"How much is that worth?" Lorelai asked painfully.
"Not much," Chris said, leaving his chair and kneeling in front of Lorelai. "But please.just know."
As sappy as it sounds, and as corny as she felt, Lorelai looked down at his face and knew. She leaned down to his waiting lips...
