William stood at the terminal waiting for Rory and their little girl. He could see Lorelai on the other side of the small terminal but decided to keep his distance.

They were among the last to leave the plane. Rory walking along carrying a small bag over her arm and pulling a child-sized suitcase on wheels by one arm and holding onto a small girl's hand with the other. William looked at the girl; she looked a bit like him. Well the hair did, as they approached a little closer he saw Rory's piercing blue eyes on this little girl.

"Mom!" Rory walked faster and gave her mom a huge hug. Her eyes then wandered around the terminal and landed on William. She said something to her mom and leaving Lor with Lorelai she walked over to William.

"Leave," she told him sternly the second she got to him.

"What kind of greeting is that?" William asked her.

"It's one to someone who shouldn't be here," Rory said. "Now leave."

"Well I thought I'd come and see my daughter," William said.

"Well you've seen her," Rory said. "Now leave."

"But I haven't had the chance to meet her," William said.

"And you never will," Rory said. "Now leave."

"I don't think I will," William said starting to shove past Rory.

"No William," Rory said. "No!" She ran over to him and tried to pull him back. William turned around and shoved Rory to the ground.

"I said I'm going to meet my daughter," he yelled at her. He raised his arm and punched Rory in the face. Then he ran across the terminal and grabbed Lor and ran.

Rory sat whimpering while Lorelai yelled for help. She sat next to Rory and took her in her arms. "Oh honey," Lorelai said. "I can't believe he did that."

"It's not the first time," Rory cried letting the tears out.

"What?" Lorelai exclaimed. "He's hit you before."

"Yes," Rory cried. "After Lor was born and had left. He got mad when I wanted to break up and hit me the first time. He was so apologetic that I stayed with him. He kept hitting me but he brainwashed me so much that I forgot it was wrong. Oh Mom, I should have told you sooner."

"Yes you should have," Lorelai said. "But you can't change the past so let's worry about the present." Lorelai pulled out her cell phone and dialed 911. "I'd like to report a kidnapping at the Hartford Airport. My granddaughter was kidnapped from my daughter by her father." Lorelai said into the phone. "No he wasn't supposed to have custody, he wasn't supposed to see my granddaughter, you see my granddaughter was originally adopted but her adoptive parents died and now she's back with my daughter but her father showed up and when my daughter prevented him from seeing her he punched her and ran and stole my granddaughter." Lorelai paused. "Oh me? I'm Lorelai Victoria Gilmore, my daughter is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, my granddaughter is Lorelai Emily Gibson, and her father is William Rains." Lorelai paused again. "Thank you."

Lorelai hung up the cell phone. She cradled her daughter in her arms. "The police will be here soon honey, they'll get Lor back."

Rory just cried harder.

Rory sat on her couch being questioned by a state police officer. She sipped her coffee and winced every time her hand hit her eye. Her eye had swelled up and turned purple within an hour. She continued to cry.

Lorelai sat next to her shaking while holding Luke's hand. He'd come over as soon as Lorelai had called him. He moved one hand from Lorelai's hand and put it around her shoulder comforting her more.

William hadn't gone far yet. In fact he was in Stars Hollow within a half an hour of kidnapping Lor. He ran into the Dragonfly Inn, grabbed his stuff quickly out of his room, leaving a puzzled Jess, and went back to his car where Lor was. He drove off quickly, not knowing where he was going.

***

Not long after William had ran in and out the phone in his and Jess's room rang. Jess picked it up. It was the police asking him to report to the Gilmore home immediately.

When Jess arrived he saw Rory and Lorelai both in tears and Luke with his arm around Lorelai comforting her. A police car stood outside and a policeman sat inside with them questioning them. Jess took a seat next to Rory.

"Jess Mariano?" The policeman asked him.

"Yes," Jess said.

"When did you last see William Rains?"

"About a half an hour ago he ran in and out of our room at the Dragonfly Inn," Jess said. "He took all his stuff."

"Did he say anything to you?" the policeman asked.

"No," Jess said. "What's going on?"

"He took Lor," Rory whimpered.

"Who?"

"My daughter," Rory said.

Jess was shocked. Rory lifted her face out of her hands and Jess saw the black eye.

"I told him he couldn't see her and he punched me and then he ran off with her," Rory cried. She leaned onto Jess and cried more. Jess put his arms around her and pulled her into a comforting hug.
