Chris suddenly blacked out. Luke picked him up off the floor. "You son of ..." Luke hit him again.

Chris wiped at his nose and quickly stood to his feet. He grabbed a knife he saw laying on the counter. "You think you're so great, Luke Danes." Chris muttered. He swung the knife at Luke making a whistle sound in the air. Luke dodged the knife. "Lorelai and I were meant to be together." Again he swung, once more Luke missed the blade. "Richard and Emily thought so, my parents thought so, everyone!"

Lorelai gently set Rory down. "Stay here with Mia." Lorelai ordered. She walked into the kitchen. Mia grabbed hold of Rory's small hand.

Lorelai walked in just as Luke had forcefully taken the knife away from Chris. Luke turned and saw Lorelai. "Call the police!" Luke yelled.

"The police?" Chris echoed. "So that's the treatment I get after bringing you back your daughter?" Chris backed away from Luke and stood wobbly on the other side of the kitchen. "Lorelai," He began. "I'm so sorry for what happened all those years ago. I wish I had never done those things to you. I'm a changed man, I swear to you. I didn't know Rory was your kid, I was just trying to take a little girl back to her parents. Please..." Chris begged. "Please."

"I have nothing to say to you Chris." Lorelai replied as she picked up the phone. "Tell your story to the police chief maybe he'll care."

"And what are you going to say?" Chris mimicked. "That I raped you eight years ago? A little late don't you think?"

"How about, kidnaping?" Luke answered. "Or trying to stab me with a knife?"

"You hit me! It was self defense!" Chris roared.

"I will press the rape charges, and the kidnaping against you, Chris." Lorelai said sternly.

"You have no proof." Chris replied in a cold voice.

"We'll see what Carven has to say about that." Luke added.

Lorelai dialed the number to the police station. "Hello, Hartford Police? This is Lorelai Gilmore-Danes. I'd like to report a kidnaping, attempted murder, and rape."

Anger filled Chris' body his breathing becoming heavier and heavier. He suddenly realized Lorelai would never love him. Why should he love her? He lunged at Lorelai knocking her down onto the floor. He wrapped his bloody hands around her neck, strangling her til her last breath. Lorelai called out for Luke over and over but he never came to save her. Where was he! Why wasn't Luke saving her?

Lorelai quickly jumped up from her bed. She gasped as she quickly placed her hands around her neck. Her heart was thumping so hard she believed her chest was going burst open. She gazed around at the room full of lace, fancy paintings, and expensive porcelain dolls. She finally realized where she was. She reached over to the night stand and grabbed her telephone.

"Hello?" A sleepy voice answered.

"Why did you attack me!" Lorelai's voice bellowed.

"Attack you?" Chris asked, still half in his slumber. "What are you talking about?"

"I just had the craziest dream!" Lorelai announced. "I was dating some poor boy from Stars Hollow, and I hadn't met you, yet, and then I did meet you, but I didn't like you, I loved him. We ran away together and you and my father chased us, then you raped me... you raped me! Then I left him and got pregnant and I came back and we were married and you had someone kidnap my kid and then you brought her back and you attacked me!" Lorelai was out of breath by the time she finished her last sentence.

"Sweetie." Chris chuckled. "I'd never rape you, or attack you, or kidnap your kid."

Lorelai swallowed heavily. "It felt so real."

"Dreams usually do. But hey, that's all it was, just a dream."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." Lorelai replied in a calmer voice.

"It's cool." Chris answered. "The doctor said you'd be experiencing mood swings, off and on sickness and possibly odd dreams. It's all part of being pregnant."

Lorelai smiled as she remembered the real baby that was inside her stomach. She placed her arm around her growing belly. "I think I have a good name for our baby."

"Oh? What's that?" Chris asked, his voice more awake now.

"Rory." Lorelai replied. "For Lorelai Leigh."

"You're going to name her after yourself?"

"Sure, men do it all the time." Lorelai smiled.

"Yeah, I guess they do. So, this mystery man from Stars Hollow, was he your baby's real father?"

"Yeah." Lorelai answered. "Weird huh?"

"Something you want to tell me?" Chris asked jokingly.

"Christopher..." Lorelai held out his name.

"I'm kidding, Lore." Chris gazed over at the clock. "It's 4:07." he replied. "I have to get up for school tomorrow."

"I have a doctor's appointment in the morning." Lorelai recalled as her memory came flooding back to her.

"So, I'll stop by after school." Chris suggested. "I have something I want to talk to you about anyway."

Lorelai didn't know what Christopher had in mind, but she knew Chris often came up with strange and surreal ideas. "What is it?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

"Tell me now." Lorelai demanded.

"Well, it's kind of something I wanted to do in person."

Lorelai began to think of the many things that could be Chris' secret. "Fine, 3:00 sharp, tomorrow."

"I'll be there." Chris paused. "I love you." He waited a moment for Lorelai to say it back, when she didn't he gently hung up the phone.
