Daddy Dearest
★·.·'¯'·.·★ -------------- ★·.·'¯'·.·★
"I got to get away from the noise" exclaims Taylor walking back into the grocery as the three Gilmore girls continue down the street.
"Kill me and bury me with that bike." says Lorelai as the distance between the girls and bike becomes smaller.
"What is it? A Harley?"
"Oh definitely" claims Tina, twirling a ring of her hair in her hand, that bike was so hot.
Sharing a grin with Tina Lorelai continues "That is a 2000 Indian, 80 horsepower, 5 speed close ratio Andrews transmission and I want to get one."
"No" yells Rory horrified at the idea of owning a motor bike.
"Oh yes, I would happily die for that bike" says Tina, picturing just how good she would look on the back of a Harley.
"Why not?"
"You'd die" exclaims Rory.
Waving off Rory's worry Lorelai continues "Oh, that." just as the bike pulls up at the market.
"Hey" the random biker directs to the girls, while the voice sounds familiar the muffling of the helmet is just too hard to hear exactly who it is.
"Hi" replies Lorelai.
"Nice shirt. Take it off." answers the biker to which Tina's jaw drops, like seriously who just says stuff like that, mega creepy as the biker takes off his helmet to reveal a face that Tina was totally not expecting
"Christopher" a just as shocked Lorelai exhales at the face of her girls father.
"Dad!" shouts Rory as she rushes to hug him closely followed by Tina who is just as over joyed at the sight of her father in Stars Hallow.
"Hey girls, look at you two" grins Christopher in between hugging the girls.
"This is great! What are you doing here?" asks Rory kind of shocked at her dad being in Stars Hollow this was a first.
"Yeah dad as such as I love this it's so random" continues Tina still smiling so big her mouth is starting to hurt, it's just so good to see him.
"I'm here to see you two. And your mom, who's not saying anything about as loud as a person can" directs Christopher to Lorelai who is still standing there shocked that Christopher is actually there.
"Hello"
"A word. Maybe there's a phrase in my future. OK, why is that man staring at me?" as Tina turns around she is meet with Taylor full on staring right at them, the whole town is going to know now in a matter of hours he's just such a gossip.
"That's Taylor Doose. He owns the market. He knows all and sees all." answers Rory.
As Tina continues on "If Stars Hollow was big brother he would be big brother always watching" giving a small wave to Taylor as he pretends to be doing something not just watching.
"So, what's with the just showing up, Mr. Spontaneity Guy?" asks an unsure Lorelai.
"Well, my folks are back in Connecticut so I'm here to see them, and on the way I thought I'd stop by and surprise the Gilmore girls. Are you surprised?" answers Christopher as Tina perks up at the name of her other grandparents that Tina can't remember ever meeting.
"Oh, the teeniest feather could knock me in the gutter." remarks Lorelai.
"So where would somebody find someplace to stay around here?" smiles Christopher.
Turning to her dad Tina answers "Well mom works at the Inn so there is always room there"
"Don't be silly Tina he can stay with us can't he mom" as Rory looks hopefully up at Lorelai.
"Um, sweetie..." stumbles Lorelai not sure what to say.
"I don't think your mom --"
"No, it's not that" cuts in Lorelai "I'm still surprised".
"Mom, please" beg the girls thrilled at the thought of having their mum and dad together under the same roof.
Not able to resist Tina and Rory's faces she answers "Why don't you stay with us for a couple of days?".
"Thanks, Lor. You won't even know I'm there." smiles Christopher before turning to the girls "Who wants a ride first".
As Tina rises her hand jumping up and down in excitement but her mother cuts in "No girls don't hop on"
"Hop on"
"Hop off"
"Lorelai..."
"Please mom I need this" begs Tina
Sighing Lorelai answers "Hop on"
Rory turns to Tina "You can have first ride"
"Thank you Ror" as Tina climbs onto the back on the motorcycle waving to her mom and her twin as they ride down the street. As they pass the shop windows Tina can't help but admire just how right she was. She did look really good on a Harley.
★·.·'¯'·.·★ -------------- ★·.·'¯'·.·★
After Christopher's first night in town and a trunk load of Chinese food, Tina and Rory were finally showing their dad around the town after Dean's softball match that morning.
As they crossed the street Tina looks around noticing everyone watching them, like she gets that they are all curious but come on she isn't on a reality show as Miss Patty gets out her phone to call another town member spreading more gossip.
"Bookstore. Good. Come on." signals Christopher as the trio enter the store finding Jackson and Andrew the store owner inside.
"Hey, hey Christopher! Jackson Melville." Introduces Jackson shaking Christophers hand with such interest. Like Tina loves her town she really dose but gossip is not fun when the gossip is about you and all anyone can talk about is Christopher appearing for the first time ever.
"Hello." greets back her father.
"Boy I gotta tell you, did they get your description wrong" continues Jackson as the girls look around the book store, Rory looks like she's in heaven and just wants to sniff all the books while Tina likes books but she would rather not spend this limited time with her dad in a book store. It's so not her style.
As Jackson and Andrew continues to argue if Christopher looks more like George Clooney or Brad Pitt. Tina follows Rory to the Compact Oxford English Dictionary the book that Rory is literally in love with.
As Christopher walks down the aisle reaching the girls and placing a hand on each girls shoulder before speaking "I'm kidnapping you two and getting you out of here." causing the girls to giggle, it was so true the town is crazy.
"They all mean well." answers Rory but she can't keep the grin off her face.
"Yeah, I'm sure all lunatics have the best intentions. Ok, so I hear you like books Rory." questions Christopher.
Beating her sister to it Tina answers "Likes them she loves them I'm sure she would trade me in for books if she could"
"Why yes I do love them" speaks Rory before turning to Tina "I would only trade you in for unlimited books".
"Well I would like you to pick something out and let my buy it for you." before turning to Tina "Tina you can pick something else of course it doesn't have to be from a book store, I'm not sure this is your scene."
"Dad you don't have to buy me anything." says Rory while Tina just smiles like she really wants a gift, her dad has been gone a while and who would say no to a gift like really.
"Come on, what's the book of your dreams right now?" nudging Rory who gives in.
"Well that would definitely be the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, but dad -" answers Rory while Tina just smiled it seemed like Rory was catching on. Always ask for the most expensive thing in the store.
"Excuse me - one Compact Oxford English Dictionary please." Directs Christopher to Andrew.
"Ok." as Andrew goes to ring the book up
"Dad no, it costs a fortune."
"You need something to remember this visit by."
Jumping in before Rory can respond Tina grins "He's right Rory you have been wanting that book forever just let him. Then we can go get my gift I'm thinking a new leather jacket cause I'm a Harley girl now" winking at her dad for the end part.
"That's my girl" grins back Christopher handing over his credit card then high-fiving Tina, she really missed this her dad just really got her sometimes.
As the trio stand at the counter with Rory and Christopher in conversation Tina can tell that something is wrong just by the look on Andrews face as he turns to Christopher handing back his card "Uh, I'm sorry Christopher, your credit card has been rejected."
"Rejected? What are you talking about?" As Tina looks at her dad he looks shocked before something flickers across his face as Andrew asks if he wants to try the card again.
Rory quickly answers "Yes." believing it to just be an error but Christopher jumps in again "Uh, no. He doesn't need to run it through again."
And it all clicks is this the reason that he's back cause he's broke and running back to his parents when maybe the after thought popped into his head to see his daughters. Tina is not one to feel strongly over things about her dad but this, this hurts he only came back because he failed not to see them and that truly stings.
"Could you maybe hold that for us? I'll come back tomorrow with another card." asks Christopher as the trio leave the book store.
Christopher gives the girls a sorry look and Tina gives him a smile back which is totally fake but she's fine right it's not like her dad just came back to see her only cause he's broke. Tina hates this feeling, she can deal with no leather jacket even though it would look really good but this wow it just hurts.
As Rory finds words to comfort Christopher "I didn't want it that much anyways." Tina just looks out across Stars Hollow.
He turns to the girls "Hey, listen, don't tell your mom about this ok?"
The girls just nod ,Tina still smiling but it's not ok, is it this whole thing is not ok .
★·.·'¯'·.·★ -------------- ★·.·'¯'·.·★
Tina is not okay but it's like what ever cause she can't be mad at her dad right now and Rory is just pretending like the whole thing never happened but the sight of her mom in Luke's Diner makes Tina's heart like super happy. As the trio enter the diner the girls giving Lorelai a kiss before taking a seat. Tina takes the seat with the most space away from her dad.
"Oh hi, where were you?" grins Lorelai oblivious to the awkward book store incident.
" Well we saw Al's Paraguayan pancake house, we were stalked by several towns people and apparently I look like Billy Crudup." lists Christopher glancing at Tina and Rory as he spoke which totally felt like a look that's all like that's all that happened I'm not broke and my card didn't declined. Tina just smiles she's really not over it.
"You do not." says Lorelai
"Take it up with Jackson." finishes Christopher just as his phone rings.
"Hello? Emily!" speaks her father as he answers his phone the name shocks Tina like is he speaking to her grandmother Emily or does he have some other daughter he rarely visits called Emily.
"It's your mother." whispers Christopher directed to Lorelai. Well at least that rules out another sister thinks Tina.
"Uh-huh, Well actually I'm sitting here with your girls." He continues "Sure." as he hands his phone to Lorelai "She wants to speak to you." As he makes eye contact with Tina giving her a smile, Tina smiles back it's fake though but obviously she's so good at faking smiles it seems real to him.
Tina can't really hear much of the conversation between the two but when she hears her mother repeating "Join us all?" she's fears the worst not more family dinner especially not with her father.
As Lorelai hangs up the phone with a sympathetic look on her face Tina knows she's going to hate what happens next.
"Who's excited for a Hayden Gilmore full family reunion" and all Tina can do is sigh this is not going to be fun.
