"Who the hell are you?" Luke asked running over to Lorelai and staring directly at Chris.
"Who the hell are you?" Chris asked in return.
"Get away from her." Luke demanded.
Lorelai slowly regained conciseness of what was going on around her. Rory had slowly followed up behind Luke. She quickly stepped back when she saw Chris standing in the door way. Luke turned and looked at Rory.
"Rory, do you know this guy?" Luke asked.
Rory paused for a minuted looking scared and confused.
"Okay buddy you have about 5 seconds to explain all of this or..."
"He's my father." Rory finally replied.
Luke turned back around dazed and confused. He looked oddly at Rory. "He's your what?"
"You heard her. I'm her Daddy." Chris replied.
"You shut up!" Luke snapped.
Luke helped Lorelai up and guided her over to the couch. Chris followed.
"Who said you could come in?" Luke asked violently.
"Hey, pal, I've had about enough of this." Chris remarked.
"Lorelai, what's going on here." Luke asked.
"He's supposed to be dead." Lorelai replied in a deranged voice. "Dad said he was dead. Why aren't you dead Christopher?" Lorelai asked in a broken voice.
"Dead?... Me?" Chris smirked. "Lore, I've spent the last 6 years looking for you. And I must say the last place I expected to find you was in Connecticut this close to your parents."
Lorelai suddenly became angry. "Dad said you was dead! Why are you hear? Why do you suddenly just drop in on my doorstep on Christmas!"
"Because I wanted to see you Lorelai! I wanted to see my wife, and my daughter." Chris smiled hopefully. "My life has been a wreck without you."
"Your life was a wreck with me." Lorelai huffed. "You're life will be a wreck no matter what you do or who you have Christopher."
"I can't believe this." Luke said sitting down to keep from falling down.
"Well believe it." Chris remarked.
Chris finally took a good look at Rory. "My god, you've grown up." Chris stared at her.
Rory felt very uncomfortable and surprisingly, moved closer towards Luke. "You're beautiful." Chris smiled. "You look just like your mother."
Chris looked at Lorelai's shaking hands. "What's that?" Chris asked looking directly at the ring on Lorelai's finger.
"That's her engagement ring." Luke replied hatefully.
"Oh, no no no." Chris replied calmly. "You can't be engaged Lorelia. You're still married to me. We never got a divorce."
"You were supposed to be dead of alcohol poisoning." Lorelai shot back.
"But I'm not." Chris chuckeled.
"How did you find me?" Lorelai asked.
"Wasn't hard. Only so many Lorelai's out there and when I found one that lived in Connecticut I thought I'd give it a shot. And it paid off."
"Get out of my house." Lorelai spoke hardly staring him in the eyes.
"Oh come now. You're going to be rude to a guest on Christmas Day?"
"Get out!" Lorelai shrieked.
"Rory." Chris began. "Tell your mother how rude it is to ask someone to leave on Christmas."
Luke jumped up from his seat, "She didn't ask you!" Luke snapped. "She told you! Now get out."
"You must think you're some big shot?" Chris smiled. "Since I'm her husband I'd say I have more of a right to be here than you do."
Luke reared back.
"Oh? You're going to hit me?" Chris asked half smiling.
Next thing Chris new he was laying outside on the ground with blood running down his face. He turned and looked back at the Gilmore house.
"This isn't over, Lorelai." Chris whispered. "Far from it." he slowly rose from the ground and walked off down the street.
Lorelai and Rory sat on the couch together not talking, but completely understanding each other's emotions.
"So that's Christopher?" Luke asked.
"Luke, I swear I didn't lie to you." Lorelai whimpered. "My father told me Chris was dead and I never questioned it."
"Hey... don't worry about it." Luke soothed as he bent down beside her. "Everything will be fine. He's not going to hurt you or Rory I promise."
Rory had started crying softly on her mother's shoulder. Rory hadn't cried over her father in years. She hadn't felt scared, or unsafe in so long she had forgotten what a horrible feeling it was.
"You can't leave us alone." Rory sniffled. "He'll come back."
Luke gazed at Rory, realizing the amount of pain that Chris had bestowed upon her. He felt the urge to choke Chris with his bear hands until his face turned blue.
"I won't leave you." Luke replied.
Lorelai had pulled herself together for the most part and was trying to bring back the strong independent woman she had been for the past six years. It was funny how Christopher had torn all that away in merely minutes.
"I have to talk to my parents tomorrow." Lorelai randomly stated.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Luke asked.
"They've lied to me." Lorelai replied. "I want to know why."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Luke asked.
"No." Lorelai replied. "I want to go alone. Can you stay here with Rory tomorrow?"
"Of course." Luke agreed.
Lorelai held out her hand and looked at her ring, slowly a look of depression came over her face.
"Lorelai, it's still an engagement ring." Luke spoke. "I still love you. We're still getting married."Luke kissed Lorelai on the forehead. "Tell yah what, I'll fix you two something to eat. What would you like?" Luke asked.
"I'm not hungry." Rory replied.
"You haven't eaten all day." Luke noted. "You need to eat something. I can whip up some hotdogs really quick." Luke offered.
"Hotdogs would be great. Wouldn't they Rory." Lorelai intervened.
Rory shook her head yes.
"Okay then. I'll get started." Luke excited the living room.
Lorelai turned Rory's face toward her's. "Luke won't let him hurt us." she said confidently.
"I can't believe he's back. It's like a nightmare come to life, it doesn't seem real."
"I know sweetie." Lorelai hugged Rory closely. "It doesn't change anything though. We're going to be fine. We're still going to be a family and live here in Stars Hollow and be happy the rest of our lives."
"I hate him." Rory replied coldly.
"You shouldn't say that about him, Rory, even though he's done so much, he's still your father."
"Not Dad." Rory replied. "Grandpa."
