Chapter 10: Talking
'I can't blame her for thinking that' Chris thought to himself.
"Well?" Rory asked getting angry.
"I did not rape your mom" Chris said looking Rory straight in the eye.
"Then what happened to her?" Rory asked.
'She needs to know' Chris thought knowing that this would hurt her but she needed to know the truth.
"Your mom was raped but I swear I didn't do it" Chris said.
Rory looked in his eyes, 'He isn't lying' she thought.
"Then who did it?" Rory asked.
"We don't know" Chris answered truthfully.
"When did it happen?" Rory asked.
Chris looked away from her, he just couldn't face her.
'I can't see the hurt on her face' Chris thought.
"About nine months before you were born" Chris answered.
Rory felt like she had been punched in the stomach.
'I knew it' Rory thought as she started to cry. She sat down on the bed to keep from falling on the floor.
"So am I even your daughter?" Rory asked.
Chris bit his lip, "There's a chance, your mom and I did have sex, but we used a condom" he said.
'I can't believe this is happening' Rory thought.
"So what happened?" Rory asked.
'I knew this was coming' Chris thought.
"Well your mom and I went to a party, I got drunk and left her alone, some guy r-raped her, and I found out later" Chris said.
"So why did you agree to be my dad?" Rory asked.
"Because I loved your mom and it seemed like the right thing to do" Chris said.
"Is this why you were never around; was it because of what I am?" Rory asked.
Chris's heart broke at that question; she really thought that he was disgusted by her.
"No, I just wasn't ready for kids yet" Chris said.
"So it had nothing to do with…" Rory began.
"No, it had nothing to do with you" Chris said firmly.
"So why didn't you or mom ever tell me?" Rory asked.
Chris sighed, "Your mom never talks about it so I never thought it would be the best idea to talk about it" he said.
"Still why didn't mom ever tell me?" Rory asked.
"Probably because you were doing so good and she didn't want to hurt you" Chris suggested.
'That does make sense' Rory thought.
"So why didn't mom tell anyone?" Rory asked.
"She was afraid that her parents would react badly and she just couldn't face it" Chris said.
Rory stood up. 'I need to know if he is my father' she thought.
"Would you mind doing a DNA test?" Rory asked nervously.
'I should have known this was coming' Chris thought.
"Sure, that would be a good idea" Chris said.
"Thanks, I'll call and tell you the day" Rory said getting up.
"Rory, I'm sorry you had to find out this way and give tell your mom that I'll come and see her tomorrow" Chris said.
"Sure" Rory said as they walked out of the room.
They found Gigi playing with Jess.
"What's she doing to you?" Rory asked.
"She keeps handing me stuff and expects me to play with her" Jess said a little annoyed.
"She is two" Rory said.
"You ready to go?" Jess asked carefully.
"Yeah, I'll talk to you later…dad" Rory said before they walked out.
"So how was your dad?" Jess asked once they were outside.
"He was good" Rory said as they got in the car.
"Did he say what happened?" Jess asked gingerly.
'I don't want him to know I'm a child of rape' Rory thought afraid of what would happen if he found out.
"He said that some guy raped my mom" Rory said trying not to cry.
"Is that all?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, that's all" Rory lied, 'He can't know' she thought.
Jess looked over at Rory, 'She's not telling me something' he thought.
"Is that really all?" Jess asked.
"Yes" Rory said putting the subject to a close.
'I'll ask her later' Jess thought.
"Take me to my mom's" Rory said.
Jess just nodded and complied.
Meanwhile back in Stars Hollow Lorelai was trying to calm down.
"Are you sure Rory didn't say anything else?" Lorelai asked.
"No" Luke said, 'She's not letting this go' he thought.
Just then the phone rang.
"I'll get it" Luke said.
"Hello" Luke said.
"Hey Luke, its Rory" Rory said.
"Rory where are you?" Luke asked.
"I just had to visit my dad, tell mom I'll be there soon" Rory said.
"Alright I'll see you soon" Luke said.
"Bye" Rory said.
"Bye Luke said hanging up the phone.
'What's going on with her?' Luke asked himself.
"Was that Rory?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah" Luke said.
"Did she say where she was?" Lorelai asked.
"She said she went to see Chris" Luke said.
Lorelai's eyes went wide, "Did she tell him?" she asked.
"She didn't say" Luke said.
"I don't want him to know, it's too embarrassing" Lorelai said.
"I'm not sure she told him" Luke said.
Lorelai sighed, "I'll just ask her when she gets here" she said.
"Were you going to tell Chris?" Luke asked.
"I don't know I mean he should know but I kind of don't want him to know" Lorelai said.
"He would have found out eventually" Luke said.
"You're right" Lorelai said.
They sat in the living room in silence.
"Do you think the police will catch him" Lorelai asked.
"They should" Luke said.
"But will they?" Lorelai asked.
"They probably will" Luke reassured her.
"I'm just afraid that what if he comes back to get me" Lorelai said.
Luke sighed, 'We've had this talk' he thought.
Just then the door opened and Rory and Jess walked in.
"Where did you go?" Lorelai asked.
"I had to talk to dad" Rory said not sure if she should be angry at her mom.
"Well it couldn't have waited?" Lorelai asked.
"Mom you had Luke there, I promise you it was important" Rory said.
"I know I just felt like you were abandoning me" Lorelai said.
"I'm sorry but I needed to talk to dad" Rory said.
"What was it about, did you tell him?" Lorelai asked fear in her voice.
"I did tell him" Rory said honestly.
"Why'd you do that?" Lorelai asked raising her voice.
"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking straight" Rory said trying to keep her voice in check.
"You should've stayed or you should have talked to me I would have been fine with you leaving then!" Lorelai yelled, not really sure why she was yelling at Rory.
That broke Rory all the feelings she had from the past day came out in the next statement.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me you were raped before!" Rory screamed at the top of her lungs.
