A/N: Merry Christmas guys! Sorry this one took so long! I didn't know that I was going to leave for Texas on Friday to visit my cousins for Christmas until the day after I last updated, and I also had a concert that day so I was pretty busy. I'm still in Houston right now, and I'm coming back on January 7th. Luckily my cousins are 6, 5, 2, and 3 months and aren't allowed to go on the computer, so I'll try to update a few more time before I go home. Okey dokey R&R

Chapter 8

A few months after the dinner at the Gilmores; December

Luke's Diner
Lorelai and Rory are talking and eating

"Why would she do that?" Rory asked.

"Well because apparently babies cry a lot when they're as old as Lucy, and they know when they want something. Lucy did the same thing, I took away her toy for 5 seconds, and she started crying like a maniac. You never cried when I took away your toys." Lorelai said.

"I never knew that. Where did you find that out anyway?"

"Michel could surprise you sometimes."

"Michel told you that?" Rory said in surprise. "He hates babies."

"I know, it was so weird. I stopped by at the inn to see how everything was going without me, and when Lucy was mad when I took her toy away, and Michel said that's what happens."

"Wow. I didn't know you listened to Michel."

"Usually I wouldn't, but he sounded so sure of himself, but in the end he walked off in a huff in his normal ways." Lorelai's phone started to ring.

"Outside." Luke called from another table.

"But it's freezing." Lorelai whined. "Hello?"

"Hey Lor, it's me."

"Christopher?" Lorelai said in shock.

"I'm glad you still remember my name. So how have you been Lor?"

"Wait, hold on, I'm sorry. Are we both on the same page? The last time I talked to you we had a shouting match. Why are you calling me?"

"I wanted to see how you've been. I am actually on my way over right now."

"You're what?"

"I'm on my way over to Stars Hollow right now; I'm on the I-45 right now, so I should be there in about 15 minutes. I'll see you then. Bye."

"Wait, Christopher." Lorelai hung up. "Ah jeez."

"What?" Luke asked as he refilled Lorelai's coffee mug.

"Christopher's on his way."

"Christopher, your Christopher?"

"First of all, he's not my Christopher, and second of all, how many Christopher's do I know. He's coming right now as we speak, he's on the I-45, and he says he'll be here in about 15 minutes. This is not good. The last time we spoke was around 10 months ago when I found out I was pregnant. He said he didn't want to be apart of Lucy's life, he wanted out, he made that very clear. Now he's on his way over here just wanting to forget everything that's happened this past year. I don't know what to do Luke." Lorelai was on the verge of tears.

"Don't worry, I'll be right here."

"Thanks Luke, you're such a good friend." Lorelai said sniffling a little.

"Don't mention it."

"Does he know Lucy's born yet?" Rory spoke up.

"Probably, I never told him though." Lorelai said.

"Are you nervous?"

"Oh yeah. Hey Luke you know what makes me less nervous?"

"What?" Luke asked from behind the counter.

"Pie. I like pie."

"Give me a second."

"Thanks Lucas." Luke gave Lorelai a look.

"Rory do you want pie too?" Luke asked.

"Yes please."

"Here you go." Luke gave Lorelai and Rory pie.

"Thanks Luke." Lorelai and Rory said. Just then Lucy started to cry.

"Aww come here baby." Lorelai picked up Lucy and said, "I'll be right back, I forgot her pacifier in the car."

"Why would you do that?" Rory asked. "That's weird."

"Excuse me little miss, do you want to go and get it outside in the freezing cold."

"No." Rory mumbled.

"Okay. Don't eat my pie." Lorelai got up from her seat holding Lucy and left the diner.

"Where did she park the jeep?" Luke said watching Lorelai leave, but saw no jeep.

"Around the corner." Rory said.

"Why?"

"I donno, she said something about slush and tires."

"I'll never understand her."

"Me neither."

The diner door opened.

"Took you long enough." Rory said.

"Hi Rory."

Rory turned around and saw Christopher. "Hi. Do you remember Luke?"

"The diner man, I remember, but we never got a good introduction." Christopher said.

"Okay, well umm, this is Luke, and Luke this is my dad."

Luke and Christopher shook hands politely, but didn't say anything.

"I just came from your house, and you weren't home, so I thought I would check here, seeing as you guys are always here." Christopher said. He looked around the diner. "Where's your mom?"

"She went to the car to get something." Rory said.

"Let me tell you something, Lucy can throw." Lorelai came back into the diner rambling, oblivious that Christopher was in the diner. She walked over to her table, still not noticing Christopher, and said, "I found her pacifier under-" she stopped. "Christopher."

"Hey Lor. Why do you look so surprised to see me? I told you I was coming." Christopher said.

"No, it's nothing." Lorelai looked at her shoes. "Oh wow, 15 minutes sure comes fast."

"What?"

"Nothing." Lorelai said quickly. Lorelai and Christopher just stood there not saying anything.

"Are you going to sit down? If you don't, I think I will eat your pie." Rory said.

"Yeah, okay, let's sit." Lorelai said.

"Yeah, okay." Christopher said. Lorelai and Christopher sat down. They sat there in silence. After a few minutes Christopher said, "So, that's our kid, huh?"

"Well my kid actually." Lorelai muttered.

"Your kid? Come on Lor, don't do this to me."

"Do what Christopher, allow you to come here and disrupt our lives? I'm not doing anything to you Christopher. You had a choice, and you made that choice."

"Well what was I supposed to do? I need to work Lorelai. We already had Rory, I didn't need anymore."

"You know what, let's go." Lorelai said standing up.

"What, where?" Christopher said.

"Outside, I'm not discussing this with you in here." Lorelai went outside furiously. Christopher followed her.

"I can't handle this Lorelai, you can't handle it either, and you know that."

"Excuse me, did you just say I couldn't handle it? Don't tell me that I can't handle something, okay. These past 8 years have been me and Rory, and even then you had a choice. Now I have more people to support me. Right now you still have a choice, but as I said before, you aren't going to take it, so let's just drop it."

"I can't drop it Lorelai. You know you can't handle it, and I'm sorry, but it's the truth. You could have gotten rid of it."

"Where the hell is this coming from Christopher? That's not like you, and for your information, her name is Lucy, okay Lucy. Get it through your thick skull. Don't you dare tell me that I can't handle, because if you can't see, I'm doing pretty damn well without you. Why the hell would you say for me to get rid of her? Did you mean when I was pregnant?"

"Of course I did Lorelai, you didn't need the hassle."

"Oh so now Lucy's a hassle."

"Well if you didn't want to have an abortion-"

"Are you insane? I don't believe in abortion! You would have rather gotten rid of Lucy when you're 24, rather than Rory when you're 16?"

"No, I mean yes, I mean-"

"For god's sake Christopher, I'm not saying that's even right! You are making this very difficult for me!"

"Me? How the hell am I making this difficult for you? We have two children together Lorelai."

"I'm very aware of that."

"Stop doing this Lorelai, stop pushing me away!"

"I don't have a choice! You hate your, no sorry, my four-month-old daughter, whom you helped conceive, and you tell me not to push you away! I love Lucy okay, this entire town loves Lucy, and Rory! I don't need your help in raising my kids from you."

"Our kids, our kids Lorelai!"

"You know what, you really need to go!"

"But-"

"Goodbye Christopher, and don't come back in the diner." Lorelai turned around, silently tears falling down her face.

Christopher sighed, turned around, and walked back to his bike.

"Mommy are you okay?" Rory asked.

"Yeah, Sweetie I'm fine." Lorelai said wiping the tears from her face. "Let's go home."

"Okay."

"You okay? Is there anything I can do?" Luke asked.

"No, but thanks. Sorry about that." Lorelai said.

"It's okay. You know you can call me if you want to talk."

"Yeah, I know thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Come on Rory. Bye Luke."

"See ya."

Author's Note: You know what I realized when I was righting this? I realized that I don't know where I'm going to stop this story, because the original A Gilmore Story is finished, so you already know what's going to happen, but when should I finish writing this story. Please R&R and tell me )
