An: It's been ages since I updated. I'm so sorry. I kind of got caught up in writing the Earth's off it's Axis chapters.

I had to pick a plot to go with so I can get this story started. As soon as I picked one I would come with another and soon I had about fifteen to pick from.

So I would really like to hear your thoughts on this chapter. If you don't like it, there are fourteen others to pick from.

Thank you for the reviews. I hope to see more.

Disclaimer:It's simply not mine. I'm just borrowing.


Chapter 14-He's Back and Better than Ever!

After a few hours, the labs were still processing. Luke had gone into see William shortly after he arrived.

Mia had been sitting inside with William listening to him complain about all aspects of being in a hospital.

Lorelai had been walking around the hospital trying to keep Rory occupied. Few hours later the results came back.

Only William and Mia were in the room. Luke had decided to drive Lorelai and Rory home since it was getting late and she had an early shift in the morning. Luke was on his way back from Stars Hollow when now.

The doctor knocked on the door and came in.

"Hello, Mr. Danes, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I want to get out of here already," he whined. Mia, who was sitting by him, laughed.

"You can do that soon, but we are most likely going to need you to come back," the doctor spoke and Mia stopped laughing. "I have your test results and I saw on the record that you were in a few years back to get a tumor out of your lung out."

"Yes, I did," William confirmed.

"Well, it seems to have come back."

"Come back?" he questioned the doctor. "What do you mean come back? It was removed.

"It's possible that one was missed in the scan or it grew back."

"So what can I do?" William asked while Mia turned pale and speechless."

"We can remove it and we can put you in radiation."

"Radiation?"

"There are some symptoms like hair loss, you can lose your appetite and become very weak."

"Any other way to fight this?"

"No, and the recovery time is at least a few months."

"Will it come back again? Is it a 100 percent?"

"I can't promise you anything. I'll leave you two alone. If you need anything, come find me."

"Will do, thank you doctor." The doctor left the room. "Mia, are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes, I'll be fine."

"Listen Mia, I'll be fine. We don't need to worry about Luke. We cannot make it seem like it's a big deal. He is finally doing something with his life and following his dream. I don't want him to feel he has to come back to Connecticut and work at the shop. I'll have the surgery to remove it and we'll leave it at that."

"You are going to have to tell him," Mia spoke.

"I will soon, in time, but I will tell him."

-Few Weeks Later Gilmore Mansion-

"You mean to tell me that you know where she was this whole time!" Emily screamed.

"Well Emily, I felt she needed to get whatever it was out of her system. At least I knew where she was," Richard argued back.

"This piece of information you couldn't even tell your wife!" she spat back at him.

"Here," Richard went over to the desk and took a phone book of Connecticut out of the drawer, "a man by the name of William Danes took her to a town called Stars Hollow."

"A man! A man took her? We'll be lucky if she's even alive!"

"She's fine Emily."

"How do you know? You weren't checking up on her. I'm calling him right now." She picked up the phone and started dialing the number.

William had been back at home and was recovering well. Luke had gone back to school and was expected to be back until the Fourth of July weekend.

He was watching Luke pitch on T.V when the phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered.

"May I speak to Lorelai?" the woman asked.

"Who is this?" William asked.

"This is her mother, so will you please let me speak to her," the woman got angry.

"She isn't here," he simply replied.

"What do you mean she isn't there?"

"She doesn't live here, nor is she here."

"Where can I find her?"

"I don't know if that's my place to tell you."

"Who are you anyway?"

"I'm William Danes Mrs. Gilmore, I found your daughter unconscious on the street," he said with disgust.

"Where is my daughter?" she asked sternly, ignore the fact the man told her that her husband left out.

"Good day," William hung up the phone.

"Richard, call the driver," Emily shouted.

"Where are you going Emily?" Richard asked.

"I'm going to stars Hollow to get Lorelai."

"It's late. Go tomorrow. Besides I don't think you'll be able to do anything about this anyway. She's too stubborn to listen. I already tried.

"You didn't try hard enough. That hobo said she's not there. She moved, she picked up and left again."

"Chances are she's still there."

"Well if you aren't going to convince her to come back then who would?"

"I have an idea," Richard said.

It was bright sunny, spring day in Stars Hollow. The birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, and Miss Patty was teaching a class of five- year- old ballerinas. Miss Patty saw a man step out of a very fancy car. She took a puff of her cigarette and picked up the phone.

The man walked around the town and inspected it. A few minutes later the man, who was wearing nice black slacks and a button down shirt which was tucked in, walking up to the dance studio.

"Excuse me," he started.

"Yes dear?" Miss Patty put the phone down. "What can I do for a handsome specimen like you?"

"I was wondering if you know a Lorelai Gilmore."

"I know two," Miss Patty replied.

"Try the Independences Inn, she works and lives there. We hardly see her around town anymore."

"Great, thank you."

Miss patty gave him the directions to the inn and continued with the dance class that had been going on.

At the inn, Lorelai was just about to take her lunch break. She was rolling the cleaning cart back into the closet with Rory in a carrier. She walked back out and freed Rory from the carrier. She squealed in delight. She turned around and walked across the hall to go into the kitchen, when she bumped into a man.

"Oh sorry," she quickly said before continuing on her way.

"Lore?" the man said.

"Christopher! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you and the baby."

"But how?"

"I asked around the town."

"How did you know I was here in this town?"

"Your dad told me. I just wanted to see you and what you were up to. I went to your house and found out you weren't there."

"Oh, wow."

"So that's her? She's big," he pointed to the Rory.

"Yeah, she is. She knows who I am now."

"No one can ever forget you." Lorelai blushed at his comment.

"Do you want to hold here?"

"Naa, that's ok."

"Come on. It's your kid too."

"Ok fine." Lorelai passed Rory to Christopher's arms gently.

"Careful, support her head."

"I was just about to take me lunch break. Are you willing to join me?"

"Yeah, sure."

-X-

"So Lorelai Gilmore is maid. I never thought I would see that day," Christopher laughed as he took a bite of his food.

"It's a job and it allowed Rory to be with me. I don't need to pay for a sitter."

"And she thinks about money too."

"I have to I don't have mommy and daddy's money anymore. So how's school?" she changed the subject.

"Sucky," Christopher replied.

"How how many cars have you totaled since my last b-day?"

"I don't know, I've lost count."

"Wow, nothing's changed."

"Actually, it's been about 4 months since I lasted smashed my car."

"Ohh, improvement."

"I would say so. God this food is amazing."

"I know right. Sookie is experimenting."

"What's a Sookie."

"Sookie is a girl my age. Mia lets her use the kitchen to experiment and stuff. She made this."

"Tell her it's delicious."

"I will. So what else have you been up to?"

"Nothing much."

"So sneaking out and parties."

"Yeah, that pretty much is it."

"Like I said, nothing's changed."

"Actually things have changed."

"Really? Like how?"

"Well I have a college plan. I'm going to go to Princeton or Yale."

"With your grades?"

"I'm improved them."

"Smooth."

"And then I'm going to either become a lawyer and join my dad's company or go into the insurance biz like your father."

"My father?"

"Yeah, he said he'll still let me work in his company,"

"Wow, you've really got it together."

"Yes, I have. That's great Christopher. Really."

"Thank you. How about we go celebrate tomorrow? I'll take Rory and you out to dinner, where ever you want."

"Wow, yes, I'll love to," Lorelai got excited. "I actually have to work at the store tomorrow. I'll see if William is able to handle it by himself. He hasn't been well lately and I don't want to leave him allow."

"Well check things out, if you can't go that' fine. We can do it some other night."

"Yeah, I'll check"

Yes, Christopher's back! (don't hate me) I've been spending the last 3 months debating Christopher, or no Christopher. As you can see, I picked Christopher. Don't worry. It'll eventually be an L/L story and Christopher will be left miserable.

Sorry again about the long wait. I didn't to get things straight here. I also kind of got swept away with my other story, The Earth's Offit's Axis. Check it out.

Don't forget to review!!
