Chapter 18: Calling The Family

Lane's mother had reluctantly agreed that since Rory was in the hospital that Lane could stay and see her but she had to be home tomorrow.

Lorelai had finished with her STD test and was waiting for the results.

"Ms. Gilmore" the doctor said walking up to her.

"So do I have anything?" Lorelai asked.

"I'm afraid that you do have Chlamydia, we'll give you a prescription for some antibiotics" the doctor said.

"Thank you" Lorelai said.

"I'm sorry" Luke said.

"I should have known I've felt a little off lately" Lorelai said.

"Lorelai I do hate to say this but have you thought about calling your parents or Chris?" Luke asked.

"I don't even want to think about that" Lorelai said.

"They deserve to know" Luke said.

"You're right I should call them but I know that they will somehow find a way to blame me for this" Lorelai said.

"No they won't" Luke said hoping to comfort her.

"Yes they will and the worst think is that they'll be right this is my fault" Lorelai said.

"No it's not Max and Rory were just good at hiding it" Luke said.

"He's right Lorelai I mean I talked to Rory almost every day and I didn't even realize it" Lane said.

"I better call them" Lorelai said taking out her cell phone.

'I'll call Chris first at least then it will be a little easier to tell mom' Lorelai thought as she dialed the number.

After about seven rings Chris answered.

"Hello" Chris said.

"Hey Chris its Lorelai" Lorelai started out.

"Hey how are you doing?" Chris asked.

"Listen Chris something's happened" Lorelai said.

"What's happened?" Chris asked quickly thousands of horrible scenarios playing in his head.

"I've messed up big time" Lorelai said.

"Lore, just tell me what happened" Chris said.

"You know Max?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah" Chris said.

"Well he's been abusing Rory" Lorelai said quickly.

"He's what!" Chris screamed.

"He's abused her and also raped her" Lorelai said quietly.

"How long has this been going on?" Chris asked trying to keep his temper in check.

"Since August" Lorelai said.

"How could you not realize what was going on!" Chris screamed.

"I don't know I mean she got better for a while but then it started again" Lorelai said.

"How is she?" Chris asked.

"She has Chlamydia" Lorelai said.

"That jerk gave that to her" Chris stated.

"He gave it to me too, do you hate me?" Lorelai asked.

Chris thought for a moment, "No I don't hate you I'm just mad at Max" Chris said truthfully.

"So you're not mad at me?" Lorelai asked.

"No I'm not mad at you, I'll be there tomorrow to see Rory" Chris said.

"Alright see you then" Lorelai said.

"See you then" Chris said hanging up the phone.

Lorelai hung up to phone.

"So how'd it go with Chris?" Luke asked.

"It went well he doesn't blame me and he's coming to see her" Lorelai said.

"Well good luck with your parents" Luke said.

"Thanks" Lorelai said as she dialed her mother's number.

"Hello" Emily said picking up the phone.

"Hey mom" Lorelai said.

"Hello Lorelai, what's wrong?" Emily asked.

"Why does something have to be wrong?" Lorelai asked.

"Because you're calling me" Emily said.

"Fine something is wrong" Lorelai said.

"What is it?" Emily asked in a smug tone.

Lorelai decided to get it over with right away, "Max has been abusing and raping Rory" she said quickly.

Emily was silent for a moment, "Lorelai how could you let that happen?" Emily asked.

"Mom I didn't know about it" Lorelai said.

"That's no excuse; do you not pay to your own daughter?" Emily asked.

"Mom, Rory hid it well I mean you didn't notice when she was over for dinner" Lorelai said.

"This never would have happened if you had married Christopher" Emily said getting angry.

"Mom please can you just be here for Rory?" Lorelai asked not wanting an argument.

"Fine your father and I will be at your house tomorrow" Emily said.

"Fine" Lorelai said just hanging up the phone.

"I'm guessing it didn't go well?" Luke asked.

"She said that this never would have happened if I was with Chris" Lorelai said.

"Don't worry about her she'll come around eventually and realize that I was all Max" Luke said.

"I guess but it still hurts" Lorelai said.

"I'm going to check on Rory" Lane said sensing that Lorelai wanted to be alone.

Lane walked into Rory's room.

Rory was still sleeping, 'Those antibiotics must strong' Lane thought.

She sat there for about fifteen minutes before Rory started to wake up.

"Hey how are you feeling?" Lane asked as Rory sat up.

"I'm feeling fine" Rory said slowly. She hadn't expected Lane to be here.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lane asked quickly.

Rory remained silent.

"I mean we're best friends and I thought we could tell each other everything" Lane said very hurt.

"Lane I didn't mean anything by it I just was too afraid to tell anyone" Rory said.

Lane sighed, "I know that but I still feel horrible I mean I should have known" she said.

"Lane I just did a great job of hiding it I mean my mom didn't even know" Rory said.

"I know I'm just still amazed that Max was capable of that" Lane said.

"I guess that's why nobody even considered that" Rory said.

"So your mom called her parents and your dad" Lane said.

Rory bit her lip, "So how'd they take it?" she asked.

"Your dad is furious at Max and doesn't blame your mom, your grandmother on the other hand…" Lane started.

"Don't continue I know where it's going" Rory interrupted.

"So did they get my STD test done yet?" Rory asked her voice shaking.

"Yeah, don't worry you're not pregnant you just have Chlamydia" Lane said.

"What do I have to take?" Rory asked.

"Just some antibiotics, they're giving them to you right now" Lane said.

"So how'd you convince your mom to let you stay out late?" Rory asked.

"Because you're in the hospital and Luke and Lorelai were with me" Lane said smiling.

"Thanks for being here" Rory said.

"Please I should be thanking you if it wasn't for you I would have gone crazy a long time ago" Lane said.
