Chapter Two: Fighting Over Lorelai
--
Labor was hard. Lorelai was glad just to be done with it and was ready to get out of the hospital. The air smelled of medicine and the sounds of people yelling and rushing to get from point A to point B were driving her crazy. She looked over at little Rory who was sleeping happily, "She's perfect." Lorelai whispered to no one in particular. She smiled to herself and then looked around the room.
Everything was quaint and it was so clean. Emily ordered for her to get a room all for herself, so no one could disturb her. But Lorelai knew that it was just so no one would be around to hear the relentless rants of Emily Gilmore. They had just left a bouquet of daisies and left, they said they would be back tonight, and that was a sign of more yelling.
Christopher hadn't visited her yet which made her mad because he was the one that did this to her. If they hadn't snuck out and did it on her parents' balcony while they were out then this wouldn't have happened. She was just happy that it was all over and now all she needed to do was rest and relax.
Knock
Well so much for relaxing. Lorelai sighed, "Come in."
Luke slowly came in the door with burgers and fries. He smiled at her, and glanced around the room, looking so nervous yet knowing what was going to happen. "Hi." He said shyly.
"Hey Luke, what brings you here?"
"Um, I heard that you had your um… baby so I thought I might come and see you."
Lorelai smiled, "Aw that is so sweet."
"It's the lease I can do, you know after you helped with my dad's funeral." Lorelai knew that it was hard for Luke to remember the night his father died. It was hard for everyone in Stars Hollow. She bit her lip and nodded her head.
"So how's everything?" Lorelai asked, trying to change the subject.
"Good, my sister just gave birth too, like a month ago. I think I've mentioned that to you like a million times though."
"Yeah you have, but it's okay."
"I'm not much of a conversation person."
"Yeah I've noticed." Lorelai smiled faintly. She wanted for Luke to be comfortable, not always jittery around her. They had known each other for a few months now and she had gotten used to him, but Chris didn't. He was standing by the doorway with flowers and a teddy bear for Rory.
"Lor…" Chris began, "Sorry I didn't visit when you had her."
"A call would have been nice Chris, I mean come on she is your daughter." Lorelai said coolly.
"I know, but something came up and…"
"Something came up? I hate it when you put some stupid thing before something as important as this!"
"I know, I know but at lease I came now."
"Is it always going to be like this? Me waiting until you get everything in order and when you do show up I'm just going to act like you did nothing wrong?"
"No, of course not. But we're only sixteen Lorelai. I mean it's not like I wanted this to happen. Your parents want us to get married."
"Well we're not." Lorelai stated.
"What? Come on what are we going to do? Raise the baby at your place?"
"No, it's too early to get married, I mean you're going off to some Ivy League college and I don't want those plans to be all messed up."
"You can't just raise her by yourself."
"I went through this freaking delivery by myself, I got to this hospital by myself. I'm a lot more self capable then you see me as."
Luke watched back and forth between while Lorelai and Chris exchanged verbal assaults to each other, he stood up to leave but Lorelai's hand stopped him, "Don't go, you're the only sane one that's visited me today."
Chris's face angered, "Oh now I'm insane? Just because I don't wear a blue baseball cap and have this grungy look doesn't mean anything."
"I know it doesn't but at lease he's been here. I mean he was like one of the first people that I told about this whole thing. Where did you think I ran off to whenever my parents had some stupid discussion about my pregnancy?" Lorelai shot back to Chris.
"Not to me obviously." Chris muttered under his breath.
"Yes, Christopher not to you, do you know why?"
Christopher shook his head no.
"Because you were never there," Lorelai continued, "I called you relentless times asking for you to pick me up and take me off somewhere else than Hartford. I got your answering machine every single time, and I would have to ask my driver to take me to Stars Hollow."
"Listen I'm sorry I wasn't that dedicated boyfriend that I was before, but now I've changed."
"And so have I. I can't take all of this anymore, I'm sorry Chris."
"I think you better leave." Luke said, standing up.
"Yeah and I think you should mind your own business." Chris said, angrily. He walked up to Luke, pushed him and walked out of the room. Luke, who got up from the push walked after Chris, turned him around and punched him in the nose.
Christopher touched his nose and noticed that it was bleeding and yelled out, "You bastard." He punched Luke back and the two men continued to punch each other and managed to knock down a few tables and chairs. A few doctors, who were standing close by pulled them apart and asked what happened.
"Just a little disagreement." Luke explained, giving Chris the death stare. "It won't happen again."
Chris left the hospital, cursing under his breath and Luke returned back to Lorelai's room. "I'm sorry."
"What for? I mean it's pretty cool that you beat up my boyfriend for me."
"Anytime."
Lorelai smiled, "You're really sweet, I mean really sweet. I like that. Listen, when I get out of here, you know in a few weeks, want to have dinner with me? Just as friends?"
"Sure."

Flash Forward: The present ( think about end of third season of Gilmore Girls )
"So are you going through with it Mom?" Rory asked, she was sitting on the corner of the bed of her room, talking to Lorelai.

Okay now, you might think I'm rushing things, but I'm not. I'm going to go back and forth between the past and the present cause I think it'll explain things better. But don't worry I'll always note it and stuff so you won't get confused. This is it for now, but I'll try to update as soon as possible. I won't go on unless I get reviews cause I know that someone is reading this. Thanks!
