A/N: An early Christmas present of a second post.

Dinner at the Gilmore's was more painstakingly awkward than usual. Emily and Richard weren't talking, although Emily informed Lorelai and Rory of the details of her trip and gave them gifts.

Richard had moved into the pool house and had shown them what he had done with the place.

"That was interesting." Lorelai commented when they left after promise to be there for dinner the following week.

"I always wondered what it would be like to eat in an igloo." Rory added. "But I can make it more interesting."

"I know kiddo. What do you say we stop by Luke's on the way home?"

"I left a book there Jess was lending me anyway." Rory stated.

"Luke's it is."

"Kirk, I really need you to leave." Luke was stood at the doorway trying to throw him out, there were raised voices coming from inside the diner.

"What's going on Luke?" Lorelai inquired.

"Kirk was just leaving."

"Bye Kirk." Rory said.

"May I offer my congratulations before I leave."

"Sure." Rory looked at Luke as Kirk walked off.

"Christopher's here. He came in about five minutes ago and started yelling at Jess. I kicked Bootsy and Kirk but they heard. I'm sorry Rory."

"Dad's here?" Rory questioned.

"I'll take care of it." Lorelai offered.

"No, I have something to tell him." Rory said she pushed past Luke.

Christopher was threatening Jess, who was taking it like a man.

"Dad." Rory said.

"Rory stay out of this." Christopher told her.

"No." Rory stated adamantly. "You're the one who should stay out of this."

"Rory, let him say what he wants." Jess told her.

"Jess, sit. I'll handle this."

Jess hadn't seen Rory this mad so he did as she asked.

"Dad, you come into our town where Mom and I and Jess and Luke have to live and suddenly announce to everyone in the diner that I'm pregnant, something which no-one knew until now which will be around town before morning which is exactly what I didn't want."

"Rory." Christopher started.

"No, I'm talking now. I wanted to settle back in at school, then tell grandma and grandpa and then the town. But now you've ruin that."

"Rory, I'm your father."

"When it suits you." Rory crossed her arms. "You've been in and out of my life when it suits you. You turn up and make promises only to break them. You turn our lives upside down and then you leave and Mom has to pick up the pieces. I've had enough."

"Rory."

"I haven't finished yet. Mom and I are happy, this wasn't planned but we're dealing with it we don't need any help from you. So stay out of my life, stay out of Mom's life and definitely stay out of my kid's life." Rory turned on her heel and stormed out pushing her way past Lorelai and Luke.

"Lorelai." Christopher pleaded.

"No." Lorelai said.

"I should go and…" Jess said.

"Go." Lorelai agreed. "Make sure she's okay."

"It was nice to have met you Mr Hayden." Jess said before he left.

"Luke can you give us a minute?" Lorelai asked.

"Are you sure?" Luke questioned. Lorelai nodded. "I'll be upstairs call if you need me."

"Thanks Luke." Lorelai gave him a smile.

"Lorelai." Christopher said.

"What did you think you were doing coming here and yelling at Jess?"

"The guy knocked up our daughter."

"And you think coming into the diner, in the town where we live and yelling at Jess is going to solve anything. Yes Rory is pregnant, is it what I wanted for her no, but she's dealing with it better than I did. She's right about the whole town knowing before morning, but luckily she goes back to school so she'll have a buffer until next weekend. Honestly this is a little hypocritical considering the fact that we were sixteen when Rory was born. Jess is doing his best, he loves Rory and she loves him and he understands Rory better than I do sometimes. Yes he's broken her heart before but she still loves him. Nothing we can do is going to change the situation."

"Lorelai." Christopher tried to interrupt.

"No Chris, do as she asks. Stay from her, if you can't accept it and be happy for her stay away from her, and stay away from me. Go back to Boston and Sherri and Gigi, which by the way is a really bad name for a kid. Don't come to Star's Hollow again and don't go running to my parents, Rory needs to tell them herself and you're an adult deal with it."

"Lorelai."

"Christopher just go."

A/N: I think I may have been venting a few frustrations about my Dad here but never mind and the fact that I don't like Christopher.
