Hey guys feedback wanted---This is my version of what happened when Lorelai told Christopher she was pregnant. **SINCE I WROTE THIS, 'DEAR RICHARD AND EMILY' WAS AIRED. Now we know what really happened at the time, so all confusion is cleared, but i still love this fic!
1985---Hartford Connecticut
"Chris, do we have to go back to that stupid club? I hate that place!" Lorelai Gilmore said, having better things that they could do on her mind.
"I guess we could stay here......" Christopher Hayden said, mischief in his voice. They were on Lorelai's balcony, deciding what to do that night. Christopher wanted to take her back to the Illuminate, a night club about 10 minutes away. Lorelai had better things to do.........
2 months later
"Chris....are we going to Illuminate tonight?" Lorelai asked, hopping down from the balcony. She and Christopher had long since figured how to sneak her out of the house. Tonight was different, though. Lorelai was really nervous. She had something she needed to tell him. He nodded, and they hopped into his black Porsche. When they arrived at the club, Christopher ordered drinks (as in not coke and lemonade).
`I have to do it now!' Lorelai said as she watched the bar tender pour the drinks. She and Christopher, along with many of their friends from school, snuck into Illuminate all the time. It wasn't hard to do, and they didn't card you for drinks once you were in.
"Chris....I need to tell you something." Lorelai started slowly.
"What is it, Lorelai?" Christopher said, taking a drink.
"Christopher.....I am pregnant." She said in one short sweep.
"What?" He said after a few moments of silence.
"I am pregnant, Chris. 4 months pregnant." Lorelai said, searching his eyes for a reaction.
Without a word, he stood and stormed toward the door. Lorelai hopped up and followed him. She ran around in front of him, trying to stop him.
"Chris--"
He just sidestepped her and continued on toward the door.
"Chris, please!!!" Lorelai cried, grabbing his arm.
He spun around.
"How could you let this happen?” He practically yelled. Everyone was looking at them.
"Chris..." She whispered.
"No, Lorelai. I didn't bargain for a kid. It's over." He said, spinning around and walking out. Lorelai just stood their. She thought she was going to faint. Just as the world was starting to go dark, she felt a strong secure arm being wrapped around her knees and another around her back. She let herself fall into a world of blackness.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luke Danes wasn’t much of a club kind of guy, but he had let his friends talk him into going to Illuminate tonight and he was regretting every second. He didn’t drink and dancing wasn’t really his thing. Although there were a lot of pretty girls.
His attention was drawn to screaming by the door. A young guy who looked to be about 16 or 17 was screaming at a pretty, young girl. The girl had tears in her eyes and looked sort of scared.
“I didn’t bargain for a kid. It’s over.” The guy yelled.
‘Oh my god she’s pregnant.’ Luke thought. As the guy flew out the door, he noticed the young girl begin to collapse. ‘Oh my god she’s going to faint.’
He hopped up from the table he was sitting at and ran to her and caught her just before she hit the ground.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Lorelai woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar car. She opened her eyes wider and tried to sit up. She felt light headed again and laid back down. She slowly sat up again and realized she was outside Illuminate in the back of a pickup. She saw her best friend, Laura, standing next to a guy she didn't know.
"Laura...." Lorelai said.
Laura snapped her head up, and she and the guy rushed over to her.
"Are you ok?" He said, leaning over the edge of the truck.
Laura came up next to him, peering at Lorelai in the dark.
"Who.....Who are you?" Lorelai said, forgetting tact.
"This is Luke, Lor. Luke Danes. He caught you as you fainted. Goes to Stars Hollow High." Laura said, chewing her gum.
"Hi, Luke" Lorelai said, unable to look into his eyes. Something about that deep blue, similar to her own blue eyes, captivated her. She saw something in his eyes that she had never seen in Christopher's eyes, or anyone else's.
"Hi. Maybe we should get you home." Luke said, helping her stand and lifting her out of the back of the truck.
"No, please no! Then I have to face my parents about all this...." Lorelai said, thinking about the 5 more months ahead of her without caffeine.
"So it's true, Lor?" Laura asked.
Lorelai just nodded.
"Well, if you want, we could go with you." Luke said, feeling some sort of major pull toward this girl.
"Really?" She said, looking from Laura to Luke. "Would you?"
"Sure, Lorelai. Anything!" Laura said, wrapping her arm around her and guiding her to the car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Lorelai, I simply cannot believe this!" Emily said, pacing the floor in the living room. Lorelai sat between Luke and Laura on the sofa. Richard sat across from them on a love seat.
"Oh yeah, Mother. I planned this. I wanted to get pregnant at 16. I wanted to have kid before I graduated! And now I have to go through the hell of no coffee" Lorelai screamed. Although Luke had just met this girl, he felt a connection and wrapped his arm around as she cried. Laura glared at Emily.
"DO you even know who the father is?" Emily said in an exasperated tone.
"Oh, yes I know the father. Your precious Christopher. That's right, your precious CHRISTOPHER HAYDEN." Lorelai said, standing up and screaming in her mothers face. "The very same, Mother. The Christopher Hayden who, quote, "Didn't bargain for a kid." The one who is the son of your best friends. The perfect Christopher that you bragged about to me since I could understand. The one who left me standing in a club tonight, all alone. If it weren't for Luke, I may still be out on the floor of Illuminate."
The look on Emily Gilmore's face was one of pure anger.
"I will not have you talk to me like that. Have you even thought about this, Lorelai? Where are you going to live? DO you have a job? How are you going to support a child on your income of nothing?" Emily said, teeth clenched.
"Obviously I won't live here! I have had enough of you. I am sick and tired of having to live a prissy little rich brat life!" Lorelai said, standing. She ran from the room and Laura followed her.
Luke sat uncomfortably on the couch.
"And who are you?" Emily said, finally addressing Luke.
"Luke Danes. I caught Lorelai at the club." Luke said, not sure how to phrase his part in this whole mess. Now he knew why Lorelai was so upset about going home.
"You....what?" She said skeptically.
"After her boyfriend left, she kind of swayed in place for a minute, and I knew she was going to faint, so I ran over to her just as she blacked out. I didn't know who she was, but I had met Laura before, and she told me they were friends." He said. Emily nodded waving her hand, and she walked out of the big room, her husband following her. He now sat alone, and he hoped Laura and Lorelai would come back for him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I am leaving---I don't know where I'll go, but I can’t stay here" Lorelai said, grabbing a handful of underwear from a drawer and throwing it into a suitcase. She ran around the room grabbing things here and their.
"But Lor, you have to think about this---where will you go?" Laura said, stopping her as she made a dash for the closet. She grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
Lorelai sat down on the bed and cried. Laura held her until there weren't any tears left.
"I don't know, Laura. I have no idea." She said.
A voice spoke up from the door.
"I think I can help with that."
