Summary: Lorelai gives Luke her diary. He has to understand who she is, and how she becomes. Maybe they will be able to make up. (They're not together; never been. Doesn't set in a particular season)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, and you all know it, so I don't have to spill more words about this subject.
Author's Note: I present you: Chapter 7! Involved the talk with Emily and Richard.
Thanks everybody for the reviews! TopBanana, yeah I know I should work on my grammar. And believe me; I'm getting better at it. I just hate to send it to a grammar, I just want to update so fast as possible after I wrote it. I'll send a couple of them at the same time I guess. All the others (javarox, ProFfeSseR, Muffin Is Injured, gilmoregirlsfanatic, orangesherbert7, JoEySaNgEl1534 and Javamaniac) thanks for reviewing too!
Chapter 7
June 4, 1983
I told them. And I have to say, they've never look smaller to me than a couple hours ago.
"Mom, dad, can I speak to you for a moment?"
-"Of course Lorelai"
"Not in here, it's more a living room talk."
So, we went to the living room; they on the couch, I took a chair. 'Cause you know, if they would attack me or shot me down, I would be on the safe side.
"O-okay, you have to promise that you let me finish until I'm done talking and, umh, well: maybe you've noticed that I'm a little d-d-different the last few months 'cause you know, higher grades, tired face – things like that. Well it a-appeared…" (Yeah I thought I throw some big words in it, is always good!)
- "Don't stutter Lorelai!" (Damn, which part of 'don't talk until I'm finished talking' don't they understand?')
"…that I'm kind of pregnant. And yes I know I'm sixteen and I'm sorry for bringing this scandal in your perfect life, but I'm gonna be a mother in a couple of months and I'm sorry and well you know, when Caroline found out in that movie that she was pregnant and – never mind you don't see movies – anyway her parents took it very good and they live happy ever after and she was just fifteen but she'd make a very nice life and… Well you know…"
Yeah, I was kind of babbling and I talked very fast and its followed by a awkward silence, where they look like they had a heart attack, both, and all I wanted to do was run away, but I guessed that I better could go on with it. It was by the way very stupid of me to bring up a movie, 'cause just because I kill time to watch many, many movies, don't mean they do. I doubt if my father ever has seen a movie in his life, and my mother definitely didn't see the movies I see. I hope. Anyway, I was talking about an awkward silence, so here's the awkward silence:
awkward silence
"Mom? Dad? You can say something now?"
-"How far along are you?" Typical Richard, just gather the facts.
"Ummh… Six months."
-"SIX MONTHS? SIX MONTHS AND YOU DON'T TELL US?" And yes, that's typical Emily. Just yell if something isn't going as planned.
"Yup."
-"Who's the father? Do you even know who the father is?" I have to tell, when my own mother is looking at me like I'm a hooker, it really hurts..!
"Of course I know who the father is! What do you think I am? A slut?"
-"Well at this point I don't think very high of you, young lady. Well, who is he?"
"Christopher. Yes mom, dad, precious Christopher is the father! And right now he's talking to his own parents, so NO you can't talk to him!"
-"We will discuss this later, with Straub and Francine. We will bring up a solution for this problem. Now, go upstairs Lorelai, I don't want to see you until we have talked to the Hayden's."
And with that the conversation was over. Can't wait for the sequel. Chris' parents will be here any minute, so I guess we'll be eavesdropping later. I know how it will went: Straub and Francine will blame me and say that I should get rid of it, Richard and Emily will say that we must get married. I don't do either. Oh great, the doorbell rings. Let the party started…
You can NOT look at your daughter like a slut. It's your own flesh and blood dammit! Who are those people? Sure, it can't be easy for them, but as a parent you have to support your child, doesn't matter how screwed up they are. And Lorelai wasn't screwed up, she just made a mistake. A big mistake: okay. But not the worst mistake ever. It's not like she'd killed someone, although it had to take effort not to kill her parents. Heartless people. Some people shouldn't have children, and I believe that many people in that snob-society should have been castrated. Or at least, what I heard from Lorelai about the people there. They can't be all bad. And actually, I'm kind of sure they love her, or at least Rory. Who can't love those two?

Just like I'd expected. Francine was crying, Straub angry. And of course not of our live, but just because of people would say. Francine suggested that I should send away 'to places who take people like me'. Mom surprised me that she kind of defend me with a "Girls like what, Francine?" and a "Choose your words extremely carefully, Straub." Oh, she sounded evil. Well, Straub was as the devil, 'cause, like I expected, he didn't see why Chris should sacrifice anything just because I'm pregnant. Well, he shouldn't. He's free to go, but I still want him to be a part in my daughters life. He is her father after all; otherwise we would have that conversation with other, maybe more human, people… Anyway, my dad came up with 'the great solution', what involved marrying and Chris working at my fathers business. And Straub thought Chris should be in school, and I'm agreeing with that, but of course: if I can't be in school, Chris can't either. That's the logic of parents.
Ugh, they just talked like that, about our lives, without us. And the freaking stupidest thing was: Christopher said that it sounded sensible! We'd talked about it; it's a big, fat NO! And on this; my word is law. This is my thing – and a little bit of Christopher, but if I don't want to, I'm not doing it. I'm old and wise enough to make my own decisions, and yes, I know that this wasn't my best decision, but things are how they are. And I think that I'm gonna love this mistake, just not right now when everyone is nagging on my head.
By the way, I'm speaking about 'it' as I'm talking to Christopher about the baby, 'cause that's my secret. Nobody will know de sex of my baby except me and the doctor. It makes me feel so much better. Don't know why, but it does.
Get rid of Rory? Live will not be the same. I can't imagine Lorelai without a daughter - my life without Lorelai and Rory. Lorelai is such a mother in the last couple of sentences; she loved Rory even when she was six moths pregnant and weirded out by a fight, hormones and being sixteen.
I never met those parents of Christopher, but I think it's safe to say that I didn't miss much. It's just such a different with my parents. Well, with my dad, 'cause when Liz was pregnant my mother wasn't alive anymore.
Damn, it 2 o'clock in the morning right now, and I'm still reading. Wonder what Lorelai's doing right now; probably she's sleeping like every sane people. Or maybe she's thinking about me reading her diary. She said she wanted me to know her… Well, I definitely learned a lot about her, let's see: I know why she can't get along with her parents, I know why she's addicted to coffee, and I know that she become movie-addicted when she killed time. I still don't get why I should freak out, but apparently I'm not in 'the later part'.
