Chapter 15: Hello Christopher

Lorelai and Max Medina were standing outside the same office building that Logan and Heather had been one week earlier.

"Are you ready?" Max asked his wife.

Lorelai nodded. "Thank you for coming with me. It means a lot."

"Don't mention it. Besides since there will be a witness, I figure neither of us will do to Christopher what we really want to do."

Lorelai smiled. "Always thinking ahead, aren't you?"

Max nodded and gave his wife a kiss.

They walked into the building and took the elevator to the third floor and a few minutes later, they were standing outside of Christopher's office door. Max reached out and knocked.

"It's open."

Lorelai opened the door and marched right in with Max trailing slightly behind her.

"Christopher, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

Christopher stood up in shock, immediately recognizing Lorelai.

"Lorelai Gilmore. It's been a long time. How are you?"

"Actually, it's Lorelai Medina now. This is my husband Max. Max, this is Christopher."

The two men nodded toward one another and shook hands.

"So to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"We found Rory."

"Oh, you did? That's wonderful! Is she all right…"

"Can it Christopher! Save it for someone who cares. She's fine—a happy, well-adjusted 16-year old kid."

"Lorelai, what's going on here? Why are you so upset?"

"Do you remember last week when Logan Huntzberger and his assistant Heather came to visit you?""

"Vaguely."

"Think hard Christopher. Do you remember what you told them?"

"Lorelai, I don't understand. Why does it even matter?"

"You told them that you only had one daughter named Gigi."

"Lorelai, I wasn't going to get into the.. Oh God. Lor, that was her wasn't it. That was Rory?"

"You're finally getting it. She took a chance and came here to meet you and you denied her very existence—to her face."

"Lor, if I had known… I swear to you…"

"Forget it Chris. I just thought you'd like to know that you broke your daughter's heart."

With that, Lorelai and Max left.

Christopher was left behind in shock—not quite sure what to do next.
