A/N: I was totally going to put this up two nights ago, but stuff happened so I couldn't. Thank you everyone who reviewed! I really appreciate it!

krazykrazykt- I only mentioned the father in one chapter. I think it was chapter 2. His name is Rich, I couldn't think of anything else. Laci met him at a club in Hartford. She basically would sneak out of her room and go there to have sex with him, because she couldn't stand Luke and Lorelai's fighting. I hope I cleared things up for you!

potostfbeyeluvr- Yes, Laci has not talked to or seen Emily since 'the dinner'. Lorelai, Liam, and Luke also have not seen her.

"That's Emily?" All three girls said at once.

Laci didn't respond, so the girls dragged her inside before Emily could see her pain. They had almost made it to Laci's bedroom when Lorelai saw them. She grabbed Laci's arm and guided her to the living room.

"It's time for cake! And then presents!"

Mandy, Kiley, and Sophia had followed Lorelai into the living room, hoping to get her attention. After what seemed like an eternity, Lorelai finally looked at the girls. Laci was still too scared to say anything, so Mandy began explaining things as fast as she could knowing that Emily would appear at any second.

"Yourmotherishere!" Mandy yelled!

"My mother is what?"

"Your mother is here!" Mandy repeated.

"Where?"

"Outsi…behind you."

"What?" Lorelai turned around. Her anger was rising higher and higher by the minute. "What are you doing here?"

"I was invited to my granddaughters sweet 16. The least I can do was make an appearance."

"Mom, you shouldn't be here. You should leave before Luke sees you."

"I will not leave! Hello Laci. Are these your friends?" Emily asked rather sweetly.

"Yeah, we're her friends. I'm Kiley. This is Mandy, and this is Sophia." Laci couldn't answer so Kiley answered for her.

"I didn't ask you young lady, did I?" Emily snapped.

"Um…no mam, you didn't."

"That's what I thought. Now are all you girls pregnant too?" Emily asked even though she knew the answer already.

"No, none of us are." Kiley said

"I'm surprised your parents let you come tonight. I wouldn't have let my daughter come. Laci is a bad example to all of you."

"No she's not. We know not…"

"Kiley!" Lorelai moved her hand across her neck, motioning for Kiley to stop.

"So, Mom! Presents go over there on the table. Why don't you make yourself at home? Laci go get Grandma something to drink, okay?" Lorelai said a little to chipper.

"Ah…yeh…sure. What do you want?"

"I'll just have soda. Alcohol gets in the way of my medications." Emily stated.

"Yeah, I'll be right back."

"We'll come with you!" Kiley said.

"You all don't have to go with her. Why don't you two stay here and entertain me?" Emily pointed to Mandy and Sophia.

"Um…ok."

Sophia and Mandy followed Emily over to a corner of the room where there happened to be three empty chairs. The girls sat down next to her, and began playing with their fingers. Emily noticed this and began talking to them.

"So, why are you girls really here?" Emily asked.

"Because Laci is our friend, and we wouldn't have missed this for the world." Mandy answered.

"Excuse me, but I don't think I asked you to answer for the two of you. I asked you to answer for yourself."

"Sorry."

Emily looked over at Sophia, waiting for an answer but Sophia didn't understand what Emily was doing.

"What about you young lady?" Emily asked Sophia.

"Same reason."

"I want a reason that comes from you, not from this other one here." Emily pointed at Mandy.

"I came because…I don't know why I came. I guess I just feel bad for Laci."

"Well, at least you're honest."

Meanwhile, Laci and Kiley were in the kitchen getting drinks. Laci hadn't said anything since they'd left the other room. She was just standing at the counter with a cup in her hand. She wasn't moving, and Kiley was starting to get worried. Kiley walked over to Laci, put her arms around her, and held her for quite some time. After awhile they heard Emily calling so they let go of each other and started walking back to where Emily sat. Before they had reached her, Kiley stopped walking and looked at Laci.

"You sure you want to go over there?" She asked.

"Do I have a choice?" Laci answered.

"Ok, let's go."

Kiley put her arm around Laci's back and led her over to where Emily was waiting. Laci handed Emily the cup of soda and waited for Emily's comment.

"What took you so long?" Emily questioned.

"Um…we…"

"There was no ice left." Kiley stated.

"I didn't ask you, I asked Laci. I guess it just took long because she had to waddle over there, and then back. That's what you get for not thinking and getting pregnant!"

Lorelai walked over to all of them and grabbed Laci. She brought Laci into over to the cake, and told her to stay there. Instead of listening, Laci got up and followed Lorelai into the kitchen. For the first time that night, Lorelai looked into Laci's eyes and saw that Laci wasn't having a good time at all. She led Laci over to a kitchen chair and sat across from her.

"What's going on, babe?"

"Nothing. Can we just get this over with, please?"

"What? Why?"

"Mom, please. I just want everyone to leave. Can we please just do the stupid cake so they can go?" Laci mumbled.

"Laci…"

"Please, Mom!"

"Yeah, sure."

Laci and Lorelai went back to the living room with the matches. Laci sat down in front of the cake and Lorelai lit the candles. Once everyone had finished singing 'Happy Birthday', Laci got up and left.

Laci walked out of the house and straight to the garage. Once she was inside she sat down and began to cry. She didn't realize, but Kiley had followed her outside and was sitting next to her now.

"I'm sorry, Laci." Kiley said.

"For what? You didn't do anything."

"I know, but still."

"Why did my mom have to throw me this stupid party? Nobody here is here for me! Everyone here is here for the free alcohol! Except for my Grandma, she's only here because she wants to make sure this day is one of the worst day of my life!" Laci cried.

"I'm here for you, and so are Mandy and Sophia." Kiley tried to reason.

"Mandy is but Sophia's not. I'm not stupid!"

"I know you're not stupid! Why don't we go back to my place and crash? Nobody's home so we won't have to put up with all their shit."

"But I need to tell my mom, and I need to get my pajamas and stuff."

"I'll tell her and I'll get your stuff while I'm in there, okay?"

"Okay." Laci answered with a little smile.

Kiley went inside and told Lorelai where they were going. Lorelai thanked Kiley for being so nice, and helped her pack Laci's bag. After Kiley had everything packed, she went outside and got Laci. The two girls walked over to Kiley's house in silence.

Kiley and Laci grabbed a bite to eat and went upstairs to her room to watch TV, but Laci fell asleep as soon as she sat on Kiley's bed. Kiley didn't bother to wake Laci up; instead she let Laci sleep the whole night through.

A/N 2: Okay so it wasn't as good as I had imagined, but that's okay. I wanted Emily to be bitchier but I couldn't think of things for her to say, if you hadn't noticed that. The next chapter will be when the father finds out! I'm going to fast forward about a month, but he WILL find out next chapter, I promise! Review Please!
