An: I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I suck at updating. I know it's been 9 months since I last update. I do have a very good reason though. I have been busy with life, which I gotta tell you, sucks! (Lol)

To cut to the chase, Here's your update. I know it's short, but I had to stop where I did. Over half the next chapter has been written and it should be up soon.

Thank you to those of you who reviewed.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD and yes, even Season seven. (I know the first half was crap, but once you look past Christopher, it's not that bad!) Wow, I have a really short attention span.

ENJOY and REVIEW!

Chapter 15- Family?

"So you're telling me that you've been thirty minutes outside of Hartford for the last a six months," Christopher said while taking a bite from his fork.

He had taken Lorelai and Rory out to a nice Italian restaurant.

"Yeah, well I couldn't take it anymore over there and Emily sure had had enough of me. She kicked me out."

"What? She was a nervous wreck when I saw her."

"Believe it or not, she went there. She wouldn't accept Rory until we were married or she was going to put her up for adoption and I couldn't do that."

"Would it be so bad if we were married?"

"Christopher, we're too young," she argued.

"What's Rory going to say when she grows up and asks how come daddy doesn't live with me. She needs a father, Lore," Christopher countered.

"I know, but getting married will just make it harder. It won't last."

"How do you know until we actually try, Lore? I love you. Remember Europe?"

"Europe is no longer going to happen. We have a child to take care of. We can't just do anything now. Every decision we make has to be in the best interest for Rory."

"I know Europe is history, but we can make those decisions together. How is the decision to work as a maid and to live in that potting shed in the best interest for Rory? I can give you more; a house, money for good food every day, a good education for Rory."

"Do you even have a job yet? You have two years of high school and four something years of college still ahead of you. I do not want to hold you back. Now can we please drop this?"

"You have to promise me one thing first. When I'm done with college and I have a good, steady job, you will agree marry me."

"Christopher-"

"Please consider this. You can't say we're too young then."

"Five, six years is a long time, we will have changed."

"I'll keep visiting; weekly."

"Are you going to travel from Princeton to Stars Hollow every week or do your homework?" Lorelai asked to point out the flaw in his plan. He did not say anything. "What's the matter Chris, cat got your tongue?"

"Lore."

"Sorry Christopher, I'm not promising anything."

"Lorelai-"

"No Chris, I'm not changing my mind."

"How about you guys move in near Princeton? We can rent an apartment together," he suggested.

"Arrgh! You're not getting it. It's not going to work," Lorelai got frustrated and put her fork down.

"Lore, how do you know? Do you have some sort of crystal ball showing you the future? How exactly do you know until we try?"

"I just know," she told him. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "How is this, I'll consider it if and only if you keep contact with Rory. I want to see you visit every birthday, Christmas, summer vacation or give us a phone call, present, and etcetera. Then only, I'll think about it. You have to show me you can be a dad and a mature adult. "

"I'll take what I can get. It's a deal."

"Good, now please pass the bread."

Christopher spent the rest of the day with Lorelai and Rory at the inn. They were running around outside with Rory in their arms, they sat under a tree, looking up at the stars.

"It's late," Lorelai pointed out to Christopher. They rested against a back of a tree with Lorelai resting her head on his chest and Rory asleep in her lap.

"I know," he replied.

"You should go."

"I don't want to go."

"I have work tomorrow. It's getting chilly out. I need to get Rory inside."

"Few more minutes," he mumbled against her hair.

"Ok, a few more minutes," she agreed.

-The Next Morning-

Lorelai woke up by the sun shining in her face. Rory was wide awake playing with the grass. She looked around and wondered how late it was.

"Crap! My shift! Chris, wake up!" She tried to shake him awake.

"What?" he groggily mumbled.

"It's morning wake up. I have to work and you need to leave," she got up and picked up Rory and started walking towards the shed.

"Inside, she looked at her alarm clock to see that she had ten minutes to get to the inn and get ready. She hurried around trying to get her uniform on.

"You know, I like you without anything on," Christopher spoke, watching her from the open front door.

"Shut up! I have five minutes. I wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't said to said, 'a few more minutes'. I could have slept inside and got up with an alarm!"

"So you'll be a few minutes late," she watched her tie her apron.

"This is a real job. Daddy does not own the business. I can't lose my job. I have a child to feed."

"Lorelai I'm sorry, I just don't think-"

"That's just it. You don't think."

"You fell asleep too," Christopher pointed out.

I have to go," she gathered Rory and her things are left leaving Christopher in the shed alone.

Lorelai arrived at the inn just in time. She grabbed her cart and went on her way.

"Lore, wait," Christopher called after her.

"What?"

"Please don't change your mind. I'm going to keep your promise. I won't let you or Rory down, Lore. I promise and in five or six years we'll get married."

"I won't change my mind Chris," she flashed him one last smile and turned on her heel to get back to her cart.

Don't worry, be happy. Remember this is a Luke and Lorelai story. You'll just have to wait.

Sorry for keeping it short. I thought something was better than nothing for now.

Please Review!!!
