27Dearly Beloved
Summary: This is what could have happened if Lorelai and Chris had gotten married. Obviously, it is no longer a one-shot. Because this is chapter two. And I figure by now that you probably caught on...it will be L/L. This story is at least somewhat AU. But probably you figured that out.
A/N: hmm…thanx for everyone who reviewed. I decided on a whim to just go with whatever my first reviewer said...and that was continue...so here is chapter 2! Also, I am sorry, but this chapter is going to be a little short.
Disclaimer: I wish that I could say I owned Gilmore Girls. But I don't even own a car...much less own Gilmore Girls. It belongs to ASP and all those other people at the wb. So there you have it...please don't sue me...I don't have a job. Oh, but I do own Savannah and limo driver guy. But I think that is all for now!
Chapter 2: What about Chris/ I Can't Do That Anymore
When Chris and Savannah walked out of the closet at the reception hall, they walked into chaos. Chris gave Savannah a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving her to find out what was going on to cause all the chaos at his wedding reception. He never stopped to think that it might have been his fault. He had been gone for almost forty-five minutes or something.
When he walked back into the main room, people were clearly relieved to see him, but then Richard walked up to Chris and said, "Christopher, do you happen to know where Lorelai has disappeared to?"
"No, Richard, I can't say that I do," Chris replied, slightly worried. He had figured that if one of them was missing it wouldn't be too big of a deal, but if they were both missing, that would cause some sort of problem. And of course everyone would assume that they were off somewhere together, after all they had just gotten married.
Richard was mumbling to himself, "Now that is a problem." Then he looked up at Chris, "We all just assumed that you two were off together. You had both been gone for quiet a while."
"I am sorry to say I haven't seen her, Richard." Chris thought about where Lorelai could be and then started getting mad. He hoped that she wasn't off screwing some random guy. Yeah, he had done it with Savannah, but it wasn't the same thing. Lorelai was pregnant, with his child; she couldn't just go and screw around. Where could she be? He was more mad at Lorelai then he was worried about her. Yeah, so what if she was hurt...she could be off screwing around with another guy.
"Okay then. You'll help us look for her, right Christopher?" Richard was speaking to him again.
"Yes, of course, Richard," Chris tries his best to sound like a worried husband.
"We tried to find Savannah. We figured she would know where the two of you were, being Lorelai's best friend and all, but we couldn't find her either."
"Oh, well I haven't seen her either," Chris was lying through his teeth and hoping that he didn't get caught by his new wife's father for cheating on his daughter. He just hoped that Savannah didn't get them caught either. Chris was starting to feel a little guilty also but tried to not worry about that.
And so the whole wedding party, eventually including Savannah, and all of the guests did a thorough search of the reception hall, looking for Lorelai. For obvious reasons they could not find her. She was in Stars Hollow, but none of the wedding party or the guests knew that and so they continued to search for her in vain.
After about fifteen or twenty minutes more of searching, the limo driver returned and walked up to Richard. "Sir, I have a note from your daughter."
"Do you know where she is?" Richard asked anxiously.
"Well, regretfully, I am not at liberty to say. She just told me to give this to you or Emily," the limo driver handed Richard the note that Lorelai had given him some thirty minutes earlier.
"Thank you. Now, I need to go find Emily," Richard stated. He then went off to find Emily. When he found her, he took her aside and said, "Lorelai has sent us a note via the limo driver and I feel that we should be alone to read it."
"Very well, let's go to that small room off to the side of the reception hall and read it," Emily calmly replied. Richard and Emily proceeded to go to the room off from the reception hall. Emily took the letter from Richard, unfolded it and read it aloud.
"Dear Richard and Emily,
Here's the thing, the life you have is not the life that I want for me and my little girl (and it will be a girl). I can't just keep living in your world. I'm not comfortable there. So I got out. I got the limo driver to take me away. Don't take any feelings you may have out on him. He only did what I asked him too. I am not far, but I am also not coming back anytime soon. I can't do that. I can't be tied down to Chris either. We neither one need that. I know that he doesn't really want to be married, we aren't ready for that. We are only sixteen for god's sake. We need to get on with our lives and I don't think we can do that if we are tied to each other and a baby. I am still going to keep her, but I need to raise her on my own. It is just something that I have to do. I will contact you later when me and the baby get settled in. I am going to try and get my marriage annulled. Please don't try to come and find me, I will just run farther if you do.
Love,
Lorelai Victoria Gilmore"
"I think I need to sit down, Richard," Emily said as she finished reading the letter.
"I can't believe that our daughter would run away with our unborn grandchild on her own wedding day," Richard was clearly mad.
"I can. I am shocked, but it wasn't overall the biggest shock of my life," Emily said, "We have to try and find her."
"She said she doesn't want us to. I believe that we should respect her wishes or we may never see her again and we may never meet our grandchild."
"I supposed that we should," Emily finally conceded, "but we should at least tell Chris that she has run off."
I Can't Do That Anymore
I keep on giving
But I can't stop living
A woman needs a little something of her own
I like happy endings
I keep right on pretending
But I can't do that anymore
You never take the time to ask me how I feel
You know I used to think that you were king
Somewhere down deep I know you really love me
But you can't see that what we have was not all I needed
A/N: Hey, first off, this turned out longer than I thought it would! Okay, so this time I put a song excerpt at the end. I cut out some lines that I didn't think fit really well. The song is "I Can't Do That Anymore" and it is also by Faith Hill. It is off of her "It Matters to Me" CD. I hope you enjoyed chapter two and maybe in chapter three I will pick a song that isn't by Faith Hill!
So go on...review now...you know that you want to! Tell me what you think and if you want me to go any further.
