Here. I'm giving you two chapters in one night!!

After Rory left Stars Hallow that weekend, she decided to drive up to Boston to have a chat with her father. She drove up his street, parked in the nearest space in front of his building, and took the elevator up to his floor.

She slowly walked down the halway, and when she reached the door to his apartment, she waited for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. This is right. She thought. Someone needs to make him realize that mom has moved on.

She knocked lightly on the door and waited for Chris to answer. It took a few minutes, but when he opened the door, his face lightened up. "Hey kiddo!" He said. "What are you doing here?"

"Umm...I have to talk to you." Rory was not as cheerful as her father was.

"Sure, come on in." He replied.

She took a couple of steps in and waited for Chris to shut the door and follow her in. "I see you have someone to clean for you." Rory commented. "Yea, I have a nanny-maid combo."

"Hmm..interesting." He gestured to the couch, and they both had a seat.

"So, what did you want to talk about?"

I guess I should just come on out and say it. "Mom."

"What about your mother?" Christopher questioned.

"I thought I asked you to stay away from her." Rory replied harshly.

"Whoa, Rory. I just want what's best for her."

"And what makes you think that is you?" Rory questioned. "What makes you the good guy in this situation?"

"Rory, we belong together. I love your mother and I want to see the three of us, plus Gigi, be a real family."

"But she is finally happy." Rory said. "She has finally found the one person who loves her as much as she loves him. I know it hurts, but I think you need to let go of the dream of us being a family."

Chris frowned. "What is so good about this diner guy, anyway?" Chris asked in disgust. "I mean he works in a diner for God's sake, and you actually see your mother being able to settle with this loser?"

That did it for Rory; nobody could ever talk that way about Luke."First of all, he owns that diner. He started it from nothing and made it become the successful business that it is today." She took a breath and continued. "And second of all, he is no loser! I can't believe you would say that! He was always there for me. Every birthday, every holiday, every special school event; he was there for all of it. You should be thanking him for all that he has done for mom and me all these years when it should of been you."

"See, you agree. It should of been me." Chris didn't seem to hear the other part.

"Exactly! It should of been you, but it wasn't. We were too much of a burden for you to take care of, so you ran. However, Luke was there for it all. Through the good and the bad, he was always there!"

Christopher grew angry that his daughter was speaking more highly of a guy who ran a diner rather than her actual father. "Hey kid, I was trying to make money and make something of myself before I came to take care of you. I wanted to be prepared."

"Mom wasn't exactly prepared for me." She shot back. "She had me at sixteen and never, not once, did she put herself before me. She made sure I had all that I needed; that I was happy, healthy, and satisfied with my life before she even thought of doing anything for herself. She worked hard and got us to where we are today!"

Chris was silent.

"But she shouldn't of had to work that hard! You should've been there helping her, whether your relationship worked or not, you should have helped her. But luckily, Luke was there, and he helped her through all of our bad times. And he never asked anything from us in return. He was just there because he loves us and wants what's best for us; that is just Luke. So mom is so lucky to be in a relationship with him. She is so lucky to have someone there to rely on. You were never there for that." She paused for a couple of moments. "I think I should go now. I said all that I needed to say."

With that, Rory walked to the door, looked back at her father, who now wore a sad, defeated frown, and walked out the door. She didn't expect to say that much, but she was glad he heard all those things. He had to hear them from someone.

Chris, on the other hand, was less than thrilled. He decided that he would have to have a talk with someone too.

I hoped I stayed true to Rory's character.

This is where the story starts to get really dramatic, so hang on and enjoy the ride.
