*After their senior year, Rory went to Harvard and Jess went to Boston College. They dated all throughout college and shortly after graduation, they were married. They live in Stars Hollow in Lorelai and Rory's old house, Lorelai is married to Luke and lives above the diner with him and their thirteen year old daughter Courtney. Rory and Jess have three kids, Luke, sixteen, Laura, fourteen, and Michelle eleven.*
It was Monday morning in the Mariano household, and things were hectic as usual. Rory ran around trying to get her kids ready for school.
"Michelle, it's time to wake up." Rory said opening the blinds in Michelle's bedroom. Sunlight lit up the room and Michelle groaned. She was always the hardest to wake up. Unlike her older sister Laura, she took forever to wake up.
"Do I have to go to school?" she asked
"Yes sweetie, you do." Rory said as she took the covers off of the sleepy eleven year old. "Come on, up! Daddy has breakfast for you after you get dressed." She gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead and advanced to Laura's room.
"Laura, are you awake?" she opened the door to see Laura sitting at her vanity putting makeup on and fixing her hair, a cup of steaming coffee next to her. Rory smiled at her oldest daughter who took right after her.
"I'm almost ready mom, tell Luke to wait for me before he leaves." She said putting her hair into a pony tail.
"OK, I will. When your done, dad has breakfast in the kitchen." She closed the door and made her way to Luke's room. She heard loud music and smiled. He was an exact replica of a sixteen year old Jess. Looked exactly like him, loved to read, everything. She walked into his room where he was sitting on his bed reading Oliver Twist, Jess's first edition.
"Morning Luke."
"Morning mom." He said closing his book and getting up. "Breakfast ready yet?" he asked
"Yup, I was just coming in to tell you." She said
"OK, I'll be right there."
She walked into the kitchen and found Jess putting a mug of coffee on the table for her.
"Morning." She mumbled as she grabbed the coffee and drank it in one gulp.
Jess laughed, it still amazed him, how much coffee one family could drink.
He went and kissed her. They had been married for seventeen years, and they were still as much in love now as they were seventeen years ago.
"So what are you doing in work today?" he asked as she began to eat the pancakes her had made for her.
"I have an interview with some successful lawyer, they haven't told me his name yet. How about you?" she asked (Rory is a writer for a newspaper in Hartford)
"I'm introducing Oliver Twist as our next reading assignment." (Jess teaches english in Stars Hollow's eighth grade class.)
"My favorite." She smiled
"Well, I have to get going, its getting late." He gave Rory another kiss and called out, "Michelle, come on lets go!" she came down the stairs sleepily, and he handed her her breakfast as they walked out to the car.
Laura and Luke bounded down the stairs after her, grabbing their breakfasts. They said goodbye to Rory and began their walk to the high school.
Rory finished the rest of her coffee slowly, and then got ready and left for work.
At work
Rory stopped at Starbucks like she did everyone morning, ordered her usual cappucino, and walked into work.
"Morning Sarah." She said as she walked into her advisor's office.
"Hey Rory, your nine o'clock is already here for his interview.
"Great, so what's his name?"
"His name is Tristan Dugrey." She replied handing Rory a stack of papers.
Rory's eyes grew wide and she began to choke on he mouthful of coffee she had just sipped.
"Tristan.Dugrey?" she sputtered
"Yea, something wrong?" Sarah asked
"I.went to school with him. To Chilton. He tortured me. Last time I saw him was at graduation." She said slowly.
FLASHBACK TO GRADUATION
"I'm going to Yale." He finished telling her
"I'll be at Harvard if you want to keep in touch." She said
"I'll be sure too. Bye Mary." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked off.
Of course, he hadn't kept in touch.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Wow."
"I guess I'd better go start interviewing. Wish me luck." And with that, walked into the conference room.
"Mary, Mary." He greeted her smiling.
"Tristan Dugrey." She replied
"How have you been?" he asked
"Great." She replied honestly. She had everything she wanted. A wonderful family, home.
"You?" she asked
"I've been good. Business is good. So, what happened after high school?" he asked
"Graduated Harvard. I married Jess. You remember Jess right? Well, we have three kids. Luke is sixteen, Laura is fourteen, and Michelle is eleven."
"Yea, congratulations. I'm married too. Her name is Jackie. We have a fifteen year old daughter, Mary." He smiled
"Congratulations to you too." She said smiling
"It's really great to see you again."
"We should have some kind of Chilton reunion. Ya know? I have a few people's addresses and stuff. It might be cool." She suggested
"Yea, I have a bunch of people's addresses and stuff." He replied
"We could have it in Stars Hollow. People could stay in my mom's inn."
"It sounds great, but I have to get running, I have an eleven o'clock court case. Here's my number, give me call on details, I'll give you a hand."
"Yea, I will. Bye Tristan."
"See ya Mary."
