The Truth Hurts

Lorelai stood there in shock. She knew that Rory had found out about what had happened when she was born. That's why contact between mother and daughter had been cut.

Flashback

Lorelai was lying in bed after giving birth to her and Chris' daughter. That's when it finally set in that she was now a mother. She, Lorelai Gilmore, who was only 16, was a mother. She wasn't ready to be a mother. She still had school to go through school and reach her goals, and having a daughter did not fit into those plans.

Just then Chris walked in looking slightly nervous and tired. He must've just finished talking to his parents and was now coming to check on her and their daughter. She had to tell him that she didn't want to be a mother, that she couldn't be apart of their daughters' life.

Chris took a seat in the chair beside her bed and grabbed her hand. He looked up at her then to the sleeping baby at the end of the bed, and it was at that moment that Lorelai knew what she had to do and that was to tell him sooner instead of later.

"Chris." He looked up at her. "I can't do it, I-I can't be a mother." A flash of hurt came into Chris' eyes. "I mean we have school to finish, and goals and being a mother isn't part of what I want right now." Lorelai paused to take a breath but cast her eyes downwards because she couldn't face the look in Chris's eyes. "Now we can talk about adoption," But she didn't get too far because Chris suddenly pulled his hand away as if it burnt him to touch her. He stood up and started to pace then all of a sudden stopped and looked straight at Lorelai.

"What do you mean you can't be a mother? What changed? We talked about this when we found out you were pregnant. And now you want to put our daughter up for adoption? I don't think so. If it comes down to it, I'll raise her myself." As he was ranting he had walked up to where his daughter was sleeping "I'll raise her myself" he whispered and walked out.

End Flashback

That was the last time she had heard or saw Chris as she was at the hospital. She had found out from the doctors that he had discussed with them the possibility of gaining sole custody of their daughter with his parents as well as the doctor and lawyers.

On the day Lorelai was being discharged from the hospital was the day that Chris finally showed his face again. He asked her if she changed her mind and when she answered no, he handed her a piece of paper with a court date on it where he would get sole custody of his daughter since her mother didn't want her. And with that he had picked up their daughter and walked away from her.

The day on which the court day was set was during exams and Lorelai still hadn't changed her mind so she just didn't bother going. Chris gained custody of Rory, which she later found out is what he decided to name her, and disappeared from Hartford and from her life.

Rory was walking towards Lukes when she stopped and sat down on the street curb. She didn't want to be here, she would rather be in New York with Jess and her friends. Hell she would even prefer to be in California with her dad. Why did Lorelai want her to be here? Why now?

She remembered when she found out about her mother. And finding out that her mother hand missed the first 7 years of her life out of choice. It hurt then, and it still hurt now. So if her mother didn't want her why did she expect Rory to be civil? Why should she act as if she cared when the truth was she stopped really caring about her mother a long time ago?

Flashback

A 10 year old Rory was sitting on the couch with a book. She wasn't really reading, instead she was listening to her parents argue in the kitchen. It seemed to be a regular thing when her mother came to New York for a weekend. Usually Rory would ignore them but something about today made her want to listen.

"Lor, you had your chance. I asked you before we left the hospital, and I even gave you the court date so that you could come back and have another chance, but you didn't want it." That was her dad, and he sounded angry.

Wait what?

"I was sixteen Chris! I wasn't ready to be a mother. I could hardly take care of myself and then boom I was also supposed to be responsible for another person?"

Okay what was going on?

"And what about me Lor? I wasn't ready but I stepped up and took responsibility. And I'm really glad I did because Rory's a great kid. But you coming back here wanting to be back in her life fully, you want to take her away from the one home she knows because you feel like you're ready to be a parent now? No, it doesn't work like that." Chris sounded angry, angrier then he had been before.

So her mother wanted to take her away? Why? And she had just left her when she was born? No, this wasn't happening.

"I am ready now Chris, I moved out of my parents' house and opened an Inn in this small town. I got out Chris, and now I want my daughter."

Oh hell no. She didn't want her when she was a baby why should she have her now?

It was at this point that Rory got up off the couch and walked into the other room. Her parents stopped and looked at her. Rory walked up to Chris and gave him a hug before turning to Lorelai, and giving her a withering stare.

"I think it's time for you to go now, Lorelai." Was what Rory said to her, and a look of confusion and sadness came in t Lorelai's eyes. "You don't get to turn on and off the mother in you. You choose to give me up to dad 10 years ago, so you don't get to be my mother now. So as I said I think it's time for you to go now Lorelai." And with that Rory walked out of the room and into her bedroom where she closed the door and turned on some music.

Meanwhile Lorelai was having a hard time dealing with the fact that her daughter had basically thrown her out of the apartment. "Chris, she doesn't mean that just let me talk to her."

Chris only shook his head "No, Lor I think she's right it's time for you to go." And with that he walked away.

Lorelai went and packed up her stuff and that was the last time Rory talked to her mother for 5 years.

End Flashback

Rory stood up, as much as the trip down memory lane was, she had places she needed to be. And if Lorelai wanted to know the daughter she left behind, Rory sure as hell wasn't going to make it easy for her.

Lane had been waiting for Rory for about 10 minutes when Rory cam into the diner. Rory spotted Lane almost immediately and plopped herself in the seat across from Lane. Almost as soon as Rory sat down Luke was there to take their order.

"I'll have coffee, and chili fries" Rory ordered

"And I'll have a burger and coke." Lane ordered. Luke nodded and walked away only to return a minute later with the drinks.

"So, Rory what's wrong?" Lane asked wanting to know what caused the attitude when she walked in, and also as to why she was late.

"Oh ya know, got into another argument with Lorelai. Nothing new there, only this time I brought up the past and how she left me when I was born. God, I've only been here not even a day and I already want to go home, New York with Jess or California with my dad either one."

Lane gave her a sad smile, "Maybe things will get better after a few days?"

Rory just gave a sigh "Maybe." Wanting a change of subject "So Lane tell me more of this double life you live here in Hicksville." Oh ya that would work.

"Well…." Lane started.

Lorelai was on her way to the town meeting. Even though she was still upset over what had happened with Rory, she loved this town and she wasn't going to let the fight keep her from being a part of it. She spotted Luke waiting outside of Miss Patty's with a to-go cup of coffee and she smiled. She greeted him with a kiss, and then proceeded to take the coffee from his hands and take a long sip.

"Hey! How did you know that, that wasn't mine?" Luke asked, even though it was for her.

"Luke, hun in all the years I've known you've never drank coffee" Lorelai said taking another sip. She linked her arm with Lukes and walked into the barn shaped building. The meeting was just about to start so they quickly found seats, but not before Lorelai spotted Rory and Lane talking about something on the other side of the room.

Rory was bored. The town meeting had been going on for about 30 minutes and all that had been discussed was a festival that was four months away, as well as something about birds. She looked over at Lane and saw that he was making a shoot me sign with her hand. Rory laughed out loud catching the attention of the people in the room. Lane quickly got rid of the sign and looked down, while Rory just kept laughing. When she finally calmed down, which wasn't too long because Lane had kicked her, Taylor spoke up.

"Young lady would care to tell us what is so funny?" Taylor said in his 'I'm important'voice.

"Oh nothing really, just I mean come one you're talking about birds taking a shit on your head. It's funny; you can't expect people not to laugh.

"Young lady this is a very serious matter" at this Rory started to chuckle. "Who are you anyways?" Taylor said realizing that he didn't know the person he was arguing with.

"You mean you don't know? A town like this seems to be the kind that is in everybody's business. Oh well, I'm Rory." She said with confidence and sarcasm.

"Well what are you doing here Rory." Taylor said still not understanding why she was there.

"I'm Lorelai's daughter." Taylor looked at her shocked, as well as some of the other towns' people. "You mean she didn't tell anyone that she had a daughter? Why am I not surprised?" And with that Rory walked out.
