One Month later-

Lorelai picks up the phone to call the vet to make an appointment for Paul Anka and catches a glimpse of Luke at the corner of her eye.

Luke's feels her eyes on him and he turns to look at her with a smile, before turning back to look at his order of fruit for the diner.

Lorelai looks down at her hand to look at the rock on her finger, and runs a thumb over it, as she listens to the vets assistant tell her about the most available appointment coming up.

"Yes. That's fine. I'll take that. Okay great. Thank you, see you next Tuesday.", Lorelai says before hanging up and taking a deep breath.

"Lorelai, I know you are stressed about what your mom said at Richards funeral, but we have to give it a try. I mean, it's in our blood to be royalty. We can't get around it. We also need to tell the kids that their lives are about to take a turn for something new. It's been days and they don't even know."

Lorelai rubs her head and looks up at her husband, "Babe you're right. I'm going to have to learn to be okay with it for the kids."

Luke nods and points his finger slightly in air to correct her, "Also for the people of our countries that we are going to rule."

Lorelai rolls her eyes, "Yes. That's right. I forgot. My bad."

Luke puts down his note pad and puts a hand gently on her arm, in which Lorelai pulls back a little bit, "Lorelai please, Christopher isn't going to hurt you. I won't let him."

Lorelai shakes her head and crosses her arms, "You say that every single time, and it always keeps happening. Luke, he cant break me again. My mental state could be hanging by a thread again if he comes back after us again..."

Lorelai stands up and puts a hand over Luke's before walking away and going out of the door.

Crap Shack-

Rory is pinning a dress for Mel when Lorelai comes into the house in a panic, "Rory, you aren't allowed to leave the house."

Rory's eyes go wide as she watches her mother lock the doors and closes all the windows, "Mom, what the fuck is going on?"

Lorelai falls to her knees shaking slightly, "Christopher, he's alive..."

Rory puts a hand over her mouth before running to gather her siblings and children.

Lorelai hears Rory's footsteps pounding on the stairs as she comes running down with all of her children and her brothers and sister, "Mom! How do you know this? I thought he for sure was dead??"

Lorelai gulps and looks up at her daughter, "Hon, I went to the house..."

Rory's mouth slightly gapes open, "Mom, you know it's off limits to go there. WHY did you go there?"

Lorelai looks back down to avoid her oldest daughters gaze, "I needed closure. I needed it desperately. But I went into the house and there was a tape in the VCR, it was one of your father and I, from months before Chris... held me captive. And what's funny, is that the police took all of the tapes. They took the VCR too for evidence. So how the fuck would that be there?? Only explanation: CHRISTOPHER!"

Rory rubs a hand over her face and lets out a loud sigh, "Oh my god."

Lorelai stands up and throws her hands in the air, "I KNOW! I know I fucking killed that little bitch. And I remember doing it. That's what baffles me the most."

Suddenly the phone rings and Lorelai lunges at it.

"Hello?!"

"Mom?"

Lorelai's eyes widen and her grip tightens around her phone, "Junior, honey, are you okay?"

She hears her 15 year olds breath getting heavy as he whispers, "Mom, please lock the doors. Protect yourself. He's coming."

Suddenly the line goes dead, and Lorelai shrieks loudly, causing her to wake up Her babies and grandchildren.

Rory sees her mother go pale and sees the phone fall out of her hand, "Mom! What's wrong? What's happening with Junior??"

Lorelais eyes suddenly turn dark blue and when she turns to face Rory, her voice is deep and dark, "Lock every door. Now. No questions asked. He's coming."

Lorelai quickly gets on the phone and calls Luke who is out on a trip to get food from suppliers.

After a few rings, her husband's gruff voice answers, "Hello?"

Lorelai screams into the phone loudly, "LUKE! CHRISTOPHER HAS JUNIOR AT THE DINER AND IS COMING HERE!!"

Luke's face turns into a scowl as he turns the truck around while squealing tires, "Babe, stay calm. I'm gonna go finish this son of a bitch."

"Luke, I hear a noise. A car door just slammed. I'm so scared. Baby, please hurry."
