Previously on Why Me:
"All I want to do is spin you around and never let you go. Hold you like you did when you were a little girl. Watch you laugh and have fun with your sister. Watch movies with you and you fall asleep with your head on my shoulder. Me carrying you up to bed and tucking you in. You waking up the next morning and coming into my room and laying down with me until I wake up. Then me carrying you downstairs and never letting you go." Lorelai said.
Sammie almost cried when she heard this. She ran up to her mom and hugged her.
"Well
then that's exactly what we'll do," Sammie said.

Luke and Rory got back from Luke's with bags full of food.
"Dig in" Rory said.
Lorelai, Rory and Sammie did dig in. Luke just went into his own little bag and took out his salad.
"Salad?" Sammie questioned.
"Yes. What's wrong with a salad?" Luke inquired.
"Nothing. Except that salad's not a Christmas food" Sammie said.
"What is a Christmas food?" Luke asked.
"You know. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and that kind of stuff." Sammie said.
"But you're eating a burger. That's not Christmas food." Luke said.
"Ya but everyday is burger day." Sammie said. "Besides, we're having turkey for supper."
"Oh, ya." Luke said.
"Okay, so I have the whole day planned out. After we eat we're going to sit on the couch and watch movies. Then, we're all going to go to Luke's and hang out until the turkey is ready, because we have nothing here that we would need to cook a turkey. Then we'll come back here and eat. Then we'll watch more movies then go to bed." Lorelai said.
"Good idea!" Rory exclaimed.
They all finished eating.
"Sammie, you pick the first movie." Lorelai said.
"Okay." Sammie said while she was scanning the movies. "I chose The Godfather. The first one."
"Good choice." Rory said. Sticking the movie into the VCR.
"Here, Sammie. Come sit by me." Lorelai said.
"Okay" Sammie said as she sat down on the couch next to Lorelai. Lorelai was on one side of her and Rory was on the other.
Later that night:
They had finished eating supper and they were all laying on the couch watching "Sixteen Candles". Sammie had fallen asleep about halfway through the movie. Her head was on Lorelai's shoulder. Lorelai was stroking her hair.
"I wish that she didn't have to go." Lorelai whispered to Luke and Rory.
"I wish she didn't have to go, too" Rory whispered back. It was a lot of fun having her sister here. She got to know her a lot better.
"But you're her mom. Couldn't she stay?" Luke asked.
"No. Chris forced me to give full custody of Sammie to him. That's like if Rory went to Christopher's house and Chris wanted her to stay and she wanted to stay. I could go in and take her back home but he couldn't force me to leave her there." Lorelai said.
"Ya. But can't we convince him to let her stay?" Rory asked.
"I don't think so, sweets. Whatever you're dad wants he's going to get." Lorelai said.
"Oh." Rory said.
"I just can't believe that she's leaving tomorrow. It's going to be another year before we see her again." Lorelai said.
"I know. That's going to stink" Rory said.
"Yes it is." Lorelai said.
The movie finished. Luke turned off the movie. Lorelai carried Sammie upstairs. She walked Sammie to her room and set her down on her bed. She put the covers over top of her and kissed her forehead. She would miss her.
She walked out of Sammie's room and shut the door behind her. She walked downstairs where she saw Rory sitting on the couch.
"Rory, it's getting late. You should probably go to bed now." Lorelai said.
"I don't want her to leave." Was all Rory said.
"I know, hon. But there's nothing we can do." Lorelai said.
"Ya. I guess." Rory said not convinced.
"Where's Luke?" Lorelai asked.
"He went upstairs."
"Thanks. Now off to bed."
"Goodnight mom."
"Goodnight."
Lorelai walked upstairs to see Luke. She walked into her room.
"Hey Luke." Lorelai said walking in.
"Hey." Luke said. He had changed into his boxers.
"I had a good time today." Lorelai said.
"Me, too." Luke said embracing Lorelai.
"Oh yes." Lorelai said lightly kissing Luke on the lips.
But Luke wanted more. Luke deepened the kiss. Lorelai willingly agreed.
"Luke." Lorelai said inbetween kisses.
"Ya?" Luke said.
"Door." Lorelai said.
"Oh ya." And with that Luke kicked the bedroom door closed.
The next morning:
Everyone in the house was up early that morning. Wanting to get every moment they could in. Chris had called and said that he was going to be there at noon.
Sammie was wearing the dress her mom made and the bracelet that her mom had given her for Christmas. Lorelai had done Sammie's hair that morning. She pinned it back so that you could see her stunning blue eyes.
"What's for breakfast?" Sammie asked as she came into the kitchen.
"Bacon, eggs and toast." Luke said.
"Yumm" Sammie said.
"What do you want to drink." Rory asked.
"Orange juice, please. If you have any." Sammie said.
"We don't have any orange juice. But we do have apple juice." Rory said after looking in her fridge.
"Apple juice is good." Sammie said.
Rory poured Sammie a glass of apple juice. Lorelai walked downstairs.
"Hey Lorelai." Luke said as she entered the kitchen.
"Mmmm. What smells so good?" Lorelai asked.
"Bacon, eggs and toast." Sammie said.
"Yum!"
Noon. (More like 12:30):
The doorbell rang. Everyone knew that it was Christopher so they all walked towards the door together.
"You're late." Lorelai said as she opened the door.
"I know. I'm sorry." Chris said.
"Ya, ya. Sammie will be right here. She had to go get her stuff." Lorelai said.
"Thanks." Chris said.
Chris looked at Rory. Once Rory saw that Chris was looking at her she gave him a dirty look then looked away. Chris then took his gaze away from Rory. He looked at Luke. Luke saw this and put his arm protectivly around Lorelai. He kissed the top of her head.
"I'm here." Sammie announced. "Woh! Unbearable tension party of one."
"Hey Sammie," Chris said.
"Hi." Sammie said coldly.
"You look very pretty today." Chris said trying to lighten the mood.
"Ya I know. Mom made me the dress." Sammie said.
"Well it's very pretty." Chris said.
"Ya I know. Mom's amazing." Sammie said.
Sammie turned around and faced her mom before Chris could say anything.
"I guess I have to go now." Sammie said.
"I guess you do." Lorelai said.
Sammie embraced her mom in a hug. She didn't want to let go and neither did Lorelai. Sammie started to cry.
"I love you, mom." Sammie said.
"I love you too, kid. You have no idea." Lorelai said.
Sammie let go. She then embraced Rory in a hug.
"See ya Rory." Sammie said through sobs.
"You better keep e-mailing me the books that you read. They are very interesting." Rory said.
"Don't worry. Love you."
"I love you too." Rory said.
Sammie let go of Rory and turned to face Luke. She hugged Luke.
"You and my mom, that's a good thing. It better still be a good thing when I come back next." Sammie said.
"Don't worry. It will be. Now don't go getting into trouble." Luke said.
"I love you Luke." Sammie said.
"I love you, too."
Sammie let go of Luke. She picked up her suitcase and walked towards her dad's volvo. She turned around to look at the family she was leaving behind. She wiped away a stray tear that was falling down her cheek. She turned back to the car. She put her suitcases in the trunk and got into the front seat.
Chris walked behind Sammie. He waved back at Lorelai, Luke and Rory. All he got back was a dirty glare from Rory, a little wave from Lorelai (if you could even call it that), and he got nothing from Luke.
He walked back into his car and drove off. With Sammie sitting in the seat next to him.
"It sounds like you had a good time." Chris said.
"An amazing time. I have more fun with them then I do with anybody else." Sammie said.
"That's good."
"Is Sherry going to move in with us?" Sammie asked.
"Ya. She is."
"Great" Sammie said sarcasticly.
"Sammie." Chris said warningly.
"What? I've met this lady once and it was only for a minute or two. And now, all of a sudden, she's moving in with us, having your baby who is going to be my half-brother or half-sister and I'm assuming that you're going to marry her." Sammie said.
"Sammie it's not like that." Chris said.
"Yes it is." Sammie said.
Chris tried to keep talking to Sammie but Sammie said nothing. She didn't want to talk to him right now. Finally, they got to Boston. Sammie jumped out of the car, grabbed her suitcase and walked to the front door of the apartment building.
Chris opened the door to their apartment. Sammie immidiatly walked to her room and locked the door. She didn't want to have to face her dad right now.
"Sammie." Chris said.
No answer.
"Sammie you open your door right now." Chris said getting angry.
"Or what." Sammie said opening the door.
"What's with this attitude, young lady. You've been acting like a spoiled 2 year old ever since I picked you up from your moms house." Chris said.
"You want to know what this attitude is for. Well maybe it's because you dragged me away from mom's house. Or maybe it's because you've been acting like a jerk ever since school started. Or maybe it's because you're going to marry Sherry and have her baby when I haven't even really met her. Or maybe it's because you're replacing mom and Rory for something "new" and "better". But do you know what, nothing is better then mom and Rory. I know you might think that there is, but there isn't. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some unpacking to do." Sammie said and slammed her door.
Chris
walked away towards the living room. He needed help and he needed
help now.
