Thanks for all the reviews! Keep them coming!!!

It had been a week since Christopher had shown up at the inn. Luke and Lorelai had an unspoken agreement to not talk about the incident any more than they already had. Luke understood that Lorelai wanted nothing to do with him, so he had no problem; well for the most part. There would always be some insecurities whenever his girlfriend's first love and father of her only child came around.

It was about 12:00 and Lorelai decided to stop in the diner for some lunch.

"Hey doll," she greeted her boyfriend.

"Hey." He gave her a peck across the counter. "Cheeseburger?" he asked.

"You read my mind." She smiled and waited for her meal to be brought to her.

Five minutes later, Luke set a plate of a cheeseburger, crispy fries, and steaming coffee in front of Lorelai. "Here. This should be enough to rot your insides."

Lorelai smiled. "Hmm...I might need some ketchup and salt to speed up the process." Luke sighed, rolled his eyes, but reluctantly gave in and slip the ketchup and salt down the counter. "You're the best." Lorelai grinned and popped a fry in her mouth and washed it down with some coffee.

"That is disgusting," Luke said and walked to a table near the window to take the orders of a group of tourists.

The bell chimed to signal the arrival of a new customer, and in walked Rory Gilmore. "Hey Luke!" She greeted to her (hopefully) future step father. "Hey Rory! I didn't know you would be here." Luke said giving her an awkward one armed hug.

"Bonus visit," she said simply, then made her way to the counter. "Hey mom!" She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. "My baby!" Lorelai gave Rory a big squeeze. "Luke!" She called. "Coffee!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming," he said walking behind the counter, dropping off the order on the way. "Here you go." He placed the steaming liquid in front of Rory. "Thanks Luke. I haven't had a decent cup of coffee in weeks!" Rory said lifting the mug to her lips. She took a long sip, then pulled the mug away, sighing. "Just as I remembered."

"So," Lorelai said, changing the subject. "What brings you to this humble town this fine day?"

"Oh, I just had to get away from Paris. She and Doyle are...you know what, I think I'll spare you this one."

"Thank the Lord." Lorelai said. "So how long are you staying?"

"I was thinking for the whole weekend." She paused. "Unless you two had any special plans," she said looking between her mom and Luke.

"No plans here." Lorelai confirmed.

"Good. We'll have time to catch up."

"And catch up we must do. I have some news." Lorelai said.

"Ooooo...news?" Lorelai nodded. "What kind of news?" Rory questioned.

"We'll save it for tonight." Lorelai said. Rory noticed that Luke was shifting uncomfortably and he walked away to bring the tourists their meals.

I wonder what this is all about. Rory thought.

Later that night, the coffee table in the Gilmore house was full of junk food that Luke would not approve of. But that was okay, because it was a girls' night for Lorelai and Rory.

Rory was situating herself on the couch and Lorelai entered the family room juggling a bowl of popcorn, a pop-tart platter, and two sodas. "So," Rory began. "What is the news that you were talking about earlier?"

"Oh." Lorelai set down the food and beverages and sat herself down next to her daughter. "Christopher stopped by the inn last week," Lorelai said.

"Dad?" Lorelai nodded. "But why?"

"Um, I think that his main reason was so that we could get back together."

Rory shook her head in disbelief. "But doesn't he know you are back with Luke. And how did he get the guts to come see you after the stunt he pulled?" Rory was mad at her father for trying to sabotage her mother's relationship once again. Why can't he just accept the fact that mom has moved on from him and that she is finally happy?

"Well, I haven't talked to him since the vowel renewal, so he didn't know that we got back together. And, I have no idea how he got the idea that he could just waltz on over to the inn and expect me to welcome him with open arms." Why can't he just accept the fact that I have moved on from him and that I am finally happy?

Rory just sighed and resituated herself on the couch as Lorelai started up the movie. Perhaps I will have to have another talk with dad.

Okay, next chapter is Rory's talk with Chris. I hope that I can make it realistic. I have been trying to stay true to the characters, but I don't know if I am.
