"So, how often do you and Rory go to the cabin?" asked Lorelai, after fiddling with the radio station.

"I told you, once, maybe twice a month."

"Uh-huh. And you guys just go there and…fish?" she just really want to know what she missed out on. It seems that Rory and Luke have been in this father daughter relationship for years and she's the outsider intruding on them.

"Yeah. Sometimes. Or we just go swimming. Whatever. It's just really peaceful there, you know?" he asked, smiling recalling memories with her daughter at the lake,.

"I remember." she said recalling times she had gone there with Luke.

"Yeah. Sometimes, we just go there to get away from all the lunatics in Stars Hollow and from the diner and when Rory's stressed at school. It just takes all of our problems away."

"That's nice."

"Yeah." he said, smiling. Already having a plan in his head.

"Are we there yet?"

"Uh…yeah. We're here."

"Great." she said excitedly.

They parked in front of the cabin. The minute the car stopped, Lorelai immediately jumped out of the car and ran towards the lake.

"Hey!" Luke yelled. "Where are you going?"

"To look at the boat!" she yelled back. Luke shook his head and ran after her.

Lorelai stopped at the docs. Luke came afterwards. "Where is it?" asked Lorelai.

"It's not here. It's in the garage." he explained, a little breathless. "How the hell did you learn to run that fast?"

Lorelai shrugged. "I sometimes go with Julie in her early morning runs around Washington Park."

"Really?" he asked in disbelief.

She shrugged. "Yeah. She'd run around the park. I'd run around the hotdog stand."

He rolled his eyes. "Of course."

"So, what are you waiting for. Go get the boat."

"Let's go inside first. And then get the boat."

"Oh all right." Lorelai gave Luke a small peck and walked back towards the cabin with Luke in tow, his arms around her waist, Lorelai leaning her head against his shoulders.

Rory's first stop was at the inn. Chris was not there. She said hi to Sookie and avoided Michel. Then she went to the diner. No Christopher there. Though she did heard Taylor grumping about a loud motorcycle earlier. Which made Rory worry a little. Then she went to the house and was very happy and relieved to see her father's truck gone. That means they left already. She thought.

She also didn't see a motorcycle anywhere. Where could Chris have gone. She thought in annoyance, while walking towards her house. Had he really gone here? Marty said so. She pondered more while walking inside. Then she heard a thud. She stopped.

"Lorelai." came Chris's voice.

"No. but close." she said in an irritated voice, walking in the living room to see Chris. His back was to her. He was by the fireplace, looking at the pictures at the mantle.

"Chris what are you doing here? And how did you get in here?"

"Used the key." he said, a bit distracted by the pictures.

"What key?"

"Under the turtle."

"Oh." she made a mental note to hide the key somewhere else. "What are you doing? What are you looking at?" Chris stood aside and pointed at a picture. Rory recognized it immediately. It was the picture her and Luke on Fathers Day this year. Rory recalled the day. She had completely surprised him with a breakfast in bed. Made by Sookie of course. She didn't want to kill him. Then, they went to the lake and spent the whole day fishing. She had caught some fishes. Not as many as Luke did. And not as big. But they were fishes non the less.

She had taken so many pictures that day. She wanted a memorabilia of it. It was the first time the both had actually spent a real Fathers Day. He had no daughter, and her dad was always AWOL. She treasured that day so much. In this picture, they were at the diner, after they went fishing, and Rory was sitting on Luke's lap. And they're about to cut a cake (carrot cake mind you), they were both smiling happily and the cake said Greatest Dad. Sookie had made it for her. She put the picture, in a picture frame that was decorated with engraving saying Daddy's Girl. When she found it she wanted it so badly. And thought about Luke.

"What the hell is this?" asked Chris angrily.

"It's a picture Chris. You know? You take it with a camera, usually to capture a moment you want to remember."

"I know it's a picture. I'm talking about what's in the picture. When was this?"

"This year."

"What the hell are you doing sitting on this man's lap, cutting a cake saying Greatest dad?"

"It was father's day Chris."

"He's not your father." he said, forcefully.

"Yes. He. Is!"

"No. He's. Not!"

"Yes he is Chris. When will you ever understand that?" she yelled.

"And when will you ever understand that I am your father? I'm the one who slept with your mom 20 years ago! No matter what you do or say, you will never erase the fact that I created you."

"Yeah. You and mom. But were you ever there Chris? Were you? No! you weren't! you were never there! I have never recalled a day in my life that you have stayed with me for more than a day! You would come, say hello, promise us that we will be a happy family again, and then you leave! Well guess what? I'm done! I'm through with you. You have never been a part of my life and you never will. Luke has been a part of my life! He's always been there for me and mom ever since we've met him. He feeds us, he takes care of us. He fixes things for us, he gave us protection. He looked out for us. We love him and he loves us and I am happy and proud to call him my dad!"

"But I'm your dad!"

"On paper maybe. But Luke has been my dad for my whole entire life. He actually cares for us. He deserves the title dad more than you do. Look, Chris, I'm not trying to hurt you, but mom and I are happy. Now unless you can be happy for us, then you should just leave."

"What about your mom? Where is she? I need to talk to her."

"No. you don't. you've done enough to damage her relationship with dad."

"See, you keep saying that and yet you call this Luke dad. Are they together or not?"

"They are together and happy. So don't ruin it for them and for me!"

"But what was that thing with me damaging their relationship?"

"What do you care? it's all in the past!"

"What happened?"

"You don't need to know what happened. The important thing is, you stay away from them. Let them be. They're happy."

"Look kid. You Can't tell me what to do. You're still my daughter."

"No. I'm Luke's daughter."

"Kid-"

"Stop calling me kid. I'm not a kid anymore." mom and dad can only call me kid.

"Rory. Stop this illusion of yours. Ok? You're a Gilmore and a Hayden. And when you're last name's a Gilmore, you're always a Hayden."

Rory was about to reply when the phone rang, she didn't feel like talking so she let the machine pick it up. "Hey-" came Luke's voice on the answering machine. "You've reached Luke Danes-And Rory Danes-" chimed Rory's voice. "And Rory Danes" finished Luke. "Who stays here sometimes when she's not out being smart at Yale. Anyways, leave a message." beep.

"You changed your last name?" Chris asked, flabbergasted.

"Looks like I'm not a Hayden anymore." smiled Rory triumphantly.

"Hey kid. it's dad." came Luke's voice, again. "I called the diner earlier and Lane said you're probably at home. Anyways, your mom and I are on our way there. It started raining so we had to cut it short. We'll be home n a few minutes. I love you kid. I love you too Rory! And your mom says she loves you too. Bye. See ya." beep

Rory smiled at his dad's message.

"He gets to call you kid." Chris grumbled.

"Well he's my dad. He gets that privilege." She smiled. "So, they'll be home in a few, you probably should get going."

"No."

"Chris."

"Not until I set some things strait with this guy."

"Chris you're just getting yourself into trouble." although it may be fun to see you get beaten up by dad.

"I don't care. I want to know who he thinks he is if he could just all of a sudden come here and claim this house his."

"With all the things he's fixed here, he probably owns it anyway."

"I'm not leaving until I talk to this guy."

"Just leave now Chris."

"No."

"Chris!"

"Christopher?" Rory and Chris both looked and saw Lorelai and Luke entering the house.

A/N: I really want to do this fast. Get this story finished as fast as possible. I would really like to finish this story and In the Clamor and the Clangor before I go to the Philippines next month. I'm already working on the final chapter for In the Clamor and the Clangor. I'm currently working on Conversations and Father's day Works Magic. I don't want to post a lot of stories all at the same time. So, there are only two chapters left on this one. I'll update those soon.
