Part IV:

"No, Dad, not now! It’s the worst timings of all!", Rory was upset.
Though she really loved her father, he couldn’t stand him being there. But much to her surprise, at that moment her Dad ran out the Gilmore house. Without looking to the right or to the left, where Rory stood, he jumped into his car and drove away.
Now Rory was even more curious, she entered the house and shouted "Mom, where are you?".
"I’m here, sweetheart", a barely hearable voice said. Lorelai was sitting at the couch. Obviously she was crying.
"Mom, what happened? Why was Dad here? Has he something to do with it?" Rory sat down next to her mother and handed her an handkerchief.
"I’m so stupid, Rory, please say you can forgive me!" Lorelai sobbed.
"Mom, please calm down. First tell me what happened!"
Lorelai looked at her daughter, "She’ll never gonna forgive me, what I just did. But Chris was Chris and I never could resist him. Alright I sent him right to hell. But it’s too late now."
"Rory", Lorelai began, still crying, " I have done something completely wrong. It’s irrevocable."
"Mom, calm down", Rory repeated, "What have you done? Has it something to do with Dad?"
"Yeah, Rory, it’s about Christopher.... I.....I just slept with him".
Rory stared at her mother, unable to say anything. "Rory, I’m so sorry. I realize that it was a BIG mistake, even bigger than the Monica Lewinsky affaire, but I immediately ended it. I said to him he should go and that I never wanna see him again." "And.....how......did he react?" Slowly, Rory could find words, "Is he gone? For good?"
"I don’t know, Rory. Of course, he’s going to see you, don’t worry. But always when he shows up, he totally screws my life. I don’t want that to happen again, so I told him to leave".
As Lorelai ended her sentence, Rory began to understand. "You mean it was an accident? You’re not in love with him?"
"No, not anymore. But I don’t think where’s gonna be a man in the nearest future, though." Lorelai felt uneasy, "What about Luke?", a voice inside her head asked. "I cheated on him right now, it would never gonna last." Lorelai banned the thoughts about Luke out of her mind.
Instead she focused on Rory, "Are you okay, honey?".
"Yeah, sure. I just want you to be happy, that’s all."
Lorelai thought that Rory looked disappointed. "Is it about me, Christopher not being here or is it something different?" she thought. But by this time Rory stood up and said: "No worries, Mom, I’m okay. I just have to call Lane. I forgot that I should help her with trig."
In her room, Rory picked up her phone, but instead calling Lane, she dialed Patty’s number. As Patty answered, Rory quickly explained: " We have to blow it off. Something happened."
"Sure Rory, but what happened?" Patty asked, but Rory already hung up.
Meanwhile Luke, sitting in alone in his apartment, made a decision. "You have to stop acting like a fool! You’re a man, for heavens’ sake! Next time you come near her, talk to her and tell her. All that she can say, and she surely will say, is "No". But then you’ll know it." With those words he stood up and went downstairs to the diner. "Sooner or later, she’ll come back, she can’t live without my coffee," Luke thought and started to take orders.
But nothing changed. Lorelai didn’t show up at Luke’s or everywhere else. She didn’t even work, she called Mia, the boss at the Inn, that she was ill. Rory was very worried, her mother didn’t even talk to her best friend, Sookie. She tried to be at home as long as she could, to entertain her mom. But nothing helped. Lorelai just told her daughter that she had to think about many things and that she didn’t want to see anybody. Once Rory even went to Luke’s to bring Lorelai her favorite drug, but oddly enough Luke refused to give her some coffee.
"She has to come by herself", Luke said grimly, "I can’t give you some."
"But, Luke, please, Mom’s not good right now, you HAVE to give me coffee!" Rory explained.
"Yeah? Well, I’m not good either, does that bother anybody?" Luke asked and vanished behind the kitchen door.
Luke, indeed felt miserable, not only Lorelai wasn’t coming to him, now he even blew off Rory.
This went on for about 4 more weeks. Luke now knew, that Lorelai wasn’t going anywhere, Patty, who else?, told him. But he couldn’t pluck up the courage to go to the Gilmore’s house. "I just can’t do it. She’s avoiding me. That’s plain to see. ", so he hadn’t done anything but suffer silently.
Rory, in the meantime, couldn’t be more worried about her mom. One day, exactly five weeks since her Dad had appeared out of nowhere, Lorelai called her on the cell.
"Honey, where are you? At Lane’s? You have to come home. I’m sorry, but I have to tell you something very important."
Rory hurried home, Lorelai never spoke more than a few words these days, so this had to be VERY important. As she arrived, Lorelai, again sat on the couch and cried.
"Thanks for coming, my angel. Please sit down."
As Rory sat, Lorelai immediately began to speak:
"You remember your Dad was here about 5 weeks ago? Yeah, of course you do, you’re not stupid. Well, as I told you we slept with each other."
For a few seconds, there was silence. Lorelai had to start over five times to continue.
"Wow, that’s hard to say, but I have to. Rory, we didn’t take care."
Again, silence.
Awkward minutes went by.
Rory was the first one who could find words. She stammered:

"Mom, are you pregnant?"
