If there was one regret Christopher Hayden had it was sleeping with the love of his life during her time of need. It took her away from him completely. Not only that but it was the 3rd strike with his daughter. He'd never seen her so angry at anything he'd ever done. He'd made her mad before, he knew that, but usually she just gave him a really good cold shoulder. But when Christopher took any chance of a normal relationship from them, the lion in his daughter came out. When he came to her apartment 2 days after "the incident" she answered the door with such a fire in her eyes that he'd never seen before. She made all her thoughts known by smashing the sidekick he gave her at the floor and growling, "We're through".

They hadn't spoken in 6 years.

He knew everything was coming to blows between them. There were a lot of things she'd probably want to yell at him about. Sitting here in Lorelai's old room would probably be one of them. But he had to be here. He had to say goodbye to Lor. If that was going to cost him a spat with his daughter and maybe even a black eye from Luke then so be it.

Rory never really had a temper before. She didn't now…but when it came to Christopher she certainly did. When Lorelai had called her the morning Logan left in a completely emotionless, "I messed everything up and me and Luke really aren't getting married," she knew it had to do with Christopher. When you got to the core of her mother's relationship issues Christopher was one of the roots. She knew he had something gif not everything to do with it. Throwing that stupid sidekick at him had been so liberating. A smack in the face if you will.

In the 6 years they hadn't spoken she did think of him from time to time. He was a screw up but he was her father after all. Everytime she looked at her mother and saw how miserable she was without Luke she thought of her dad. It made her angry that Christopher had caused such a rift so deep that Luke and Lorelai wouldn't go near each other as the maid of honor and best man at Rory's wedding.

Rory stopped outside of Lorelai's bedroom and opened the door softly to find Christopher on the bed clutching a pillow. He didn't seem to notice that she had appeared in her room. Rory shook her head at the significance of everything. Her father who had hardly paid attention to her during her childhood still wasn't after not speaking to her for 6 years.

"Hello Christopher," she greeted bitterly.

Chris looked up a little surprised to hear her call him by his first name. His voice came out a little ragged when he finally spoke, "Hey kid. Long time no see huh. Have you seen Gigi yet…she's really grown up since the last time you saw her."

"Yeah well 6 years does that Chris I know. Gigis looking a lot like Sherry huh. Not as bubbly but she'll grow out of that bitter bratty stage by the time she's 20."

"Well what can you do? Listen Ror can we talk? I feel terrible about how everything turned out. I don't even know anything about your life anymore. Please your mom might have wanted it."

Rory felt anger boiling inside her from Christopher using the Mom card on her. But he was right. She always wanted Rory to make peace with Chris during the estrangement.

"Fine," she mumbled, "but I have one condition. Don't call me kid."

"Done."

Next up: Rory and Chris have their talk and end up in a blowout.
