A/N: Sorry for the wait. To think that now it's summer I'd have more time to write and post but noooooo! My mom immediately put me on babysitting duty and not only that, I got sick for three days. So I couldn't move my whole entire body! Ugh! But luckily, I'm all better now and my friend is here to help me baby-sit today. So I snag myself some time to post this chapter. Thanks Kika.
A/N 2: Ok. Last time I left you guys with a guessing game. Who was at the door? Was Rory happy, surprised, mad? I've got some great guesses. Some say Chris, some say Logan. But who knows. I do! But anyways, you will all know now. Hope you like it.
Lorelai woke up, feeling cold and alone. She felt space next to her only to find it empty. She wondered where Luke was. Then a wonderful aroma filled the air. She smiled. The bedroom door opened, and Luke came in with a cup of coffee.
"Hey. I thought the smell would wake you up." he smiled, kissing her forehead. He gave her the coffee, and sat next to her on the bed.
"Thanks." she smiled sipping into the cup. The she remembered, "Hey, where's Rory?"
"Oh she left already."
"She did? Oh, I wanted to say goodbye. Why didn't you wake me?" she wined.
"She left before any of us were awake. She left a note saying she didn't want to wake us up."
"Aw. But I wanted to see her before she left." she pouted.
"I know you did. Me too. But hey, look on the bright side." he said, calming her down.
"What?"
"We finally get to have that great good morning sex." he smiled. She looked at him and smiled as well. Putting her cup on the side table, she kissed him, laying him back down on the bed.
Lorelai was panting hard, but that didn't stop her from leaving kisses on Luke's chest. She looked up at Luke and smiled.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you too." she replied, then rested her head on his chest. How did she get through eight months without this? She remembers times when she would be crying the whole entire night. Part of the reason she was crying was because of Rory, but mostly it was because of Luke. She missed him. She wanted to be with him. Forever. Too bad she's leaving by the end of the week. Why again? She couldn't remember.
Lorelai looked over at Luke, he fell asleep. She smiled. She always liked watching him sleeping. He seem so peaceful. She didn't want to leave him. She could never live without him. Why does she have to leave again? Maybe because she's scared that he's gonna leave her. That it wont work out. But it will, she knows it will, she'll make sure it will. She doesn't want to leave. Her life is here. Rory, Luke. She didn't want to leave. So she decided, she won't. she smiled. She gave Luke one last kiss on the chest and went back to sleep as well.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hey Ror." he smiled warmly.
"I repeat Christopher, what are you doing here?"
"What? I can't see my own girl?" he replied, opening his arms for a hug. Rory didn't move. "Ok…hugging later. So, this your new place? Can I see it?"
"No."
"Rory what's wrong?"
"Why nothing is wrong Christopher. What makes you think anything is wrong?" she said, sarcastically.
"Hey young lady. Don't give me that tone."
"Why what tone Christopher?"
"That tone. That sarcastic tone your mom always have. And what's with the Christopher. I'm your father."
Rory let out a fake laugh. "My father huh? Really, my father. How funny, cause, I never remembered you being there for anything."
"Ror. You-"
"Don't. and the name is Rory."
"What has gotten in to you?"
"Well if you don't know, then you obviously don't deserve to know."
"Rory-"
"Rory." came a voice behind Chris. Rory looked over Chris's shoulders and was happy to see Marty.
"Marty, hey." she said, closing the door, walking up to Marty, giving him a warm hug.
"Hey to you too." he smiled. Then looked over at Christopher. "Uh, I didn't know you had company. Hello."
"Hi." Chris said. "Christopher Hayden, Rory's father."
"Oh." Marty looked over at Rory. She was fuming with anger. He knew the situation. He knew about Christopher, the biological father, and Luke, the real father by heart. Rory told him what had happened, why her mom and Luke broke up.
"You are not my father." said Rory, harshly. "Marty let's go." said Rory, walking down the stairs. Marty followed, giving Chris a sympathetic smile.
Chris stood there shocked at what her daughter said.
"Rory are you ok?" asked Marty, once they were out of the building.
"Yeah. I'm fine." replied Rory, wiping away her tears.
"How could he just come back like that? Argh! You know, he does this all the time! He comes back, thinking we'll all be happy. He gives us promises that we'll be happy, then he leaves and ruins it. And ruins our lives. It's always the same. Mom and I end up being disappointed." ranted Rory, while stabbing her pancakes. Marty was sitting across from her just listening. "But not anymore. Actually, we never needed him. Mom and I got through our lives without him. Why does he even come back?" Rory paused for a second. " I don't like this. I don't like this at all! He's gonna ruin everything. Just like he did last time. God, I hate him."
"Rory."
"What?"
"Take a breath. Ok. I know you hate your dad-"
"He's not my dad. Luke is."
"Ok. I know you hate Christopher right now, but you have to calm down. Ok?"
"But he's gonna ruin everything. You should of heard my dad this morning, I could here him smiling over the phone. He was really happy. And I'm so happy too. I don't want him ruining anything. I know he will. My mom and dad are so happy. And I'm happy for them."
"I know you are."
"But then he shows up. How could he? He's gonna ruin everything."
"Rory. He won't."
"Yes he will. He always does."
"No he won't. you know why? Cause we're not gonna let him"
"We won't?"
"No. we're gonna make sure your parents are gonna be together. and we're gonna make sure that he doesn't go to Stars Hollow and ruin your mom and dad's relationship."
"But what if he does without us knowing?"
"Then we'll warn your dad. He'll know what to do. He'll probably beat him up. Knowing your dad he will."
"Yeah you're right. We can't let him ruin this. We wont let him."
"Yeah. And besides, your parents love each other. I'm sure they probably learned from what happened last time, and I'm sure they don't want to make the same mistake again."
"You're right. I'm gonna make sure he won't bother them."
"And I'll be here to help you."
"Thank you Marty."
"You're welcome."
"And you're sure about this?" asked Julie on the other line.
"Yes. I have never been this sure since I made that decision to run away with Rory." replied Lorelai, smiling into the phone.
"Wow. You're actually gonna stay?" Julie smiled.
"Yeah. Are you sure it's ok with you. Cause I don't want to just abandon you."
"Lorelai, no. it's ok. I'm glad you're going back. I know you miss them and I' sure they miss you too."
"I do. I miss them so much. But I don't want you to think that I'm taking you for granted. Cause I'm not. I'm very grateful for everything that you've done for me. You let me in, you gave me a job, you helped me, and I could never forget that."
"I know you wont. And you're welcome. But go home. I know you miss them. I'm happy for you Lorelai."
"I'm happy too Julie."
Rory walked up the stairs to her apartment. Then she stopped.
"What are you still doing here?" she asked bitterly.
"Rory, I think we need to talk."
"We don't have anything to talk about Christopher." she said harshly, walking to her door and opening it.
"Rory. I am your father, treat me like one dammit!" he yelled, stopping her from entering.
"My father? Really? If you were my father you wouldn't of had left me and mom. If you were my father you would of made it your priority to be with us-"
"I wanted to. I asked your mom to marry me. She said no."
"Mom wasn't ready, and you weren't either. But that doesn't mean that you had to leave and disappear. You could have been there. But you weren't."
"There was no reason for me to stay."
"Yes. There was. Me. But you know what? It's ok. I have a father now. He's kind, he's caring, he's there. He's always been my father, ever since mom and I met him."
"You mean you replaced me?"
"What's there to replace? There was nothing to replace in the first place. He was there when I needed him. He cooked for us, he fixed things for us, he took care for us. He loves me and mom so much and we love him too. And not just because of his coffee, but because he's him."
It dawned on him. "Luke? The diner man? That's who you replaced me with?"
"I didn't replace you. It's always been him. He's always been my father. Not you."
"Hey. Weather you like it or not, I will always be your father."
"Yeah. My biological father, but my real father, by heart, will always be Luke. So leave me alone. And leave mom too. You've already done enough damage with her relationship with dad." she yelled, slamming the door at his face.
Chris stood there in anger. How could they replace me with the diner man? He thought. I am way better than him. I'm Rory's father dammit! And what did Rory mean about Lorelai and Luke? Did they break up? They probably did. He did not look happy when he came in. he smiled at that. Then why does Rory call Luke dad now? Are they back together? Or wait, has she been calling him dad when they were together? Or even before. That son of a bitch. I have to go give that ass what he deserves. And then I'll get Lorelai back and Rory can see that we are the perfect family.
Chris immediately ran down the stairs, passing Marty on the way. "Mr. Hayden. Where are you going?"
"To Stars Hollow." he yelled, not stopping.
Marty's eyes widen. "What?" he ran after him, but he already left.
A/N: Alright. I don't really know if this chapter was good enough. But, oh well. I have my reasons. It's almost six. I had to clean out the whole entire house, cause it's so messy so i'm very tired. And I only have thirty minutes until my friend looses her patience and it's my turn to look after the baby. So, sorry.
A/N 2: Ok, i know you may think, uh-oh, trouble. well don't worry. like i said somewhere, i'm not one much for drama. so not so much drama in this department.
A/N 3: ok, I promise I'll find more time to update on this. And to update on In the Clamor and the Clangor.
