It's Christmas time and Rory, Lorelai, and Christopher are heading to the annual Chrismas party. Rory is very upset about something that Logan has done. But maybe she dosen't have to cry alone. Maybe there is someone who can dry her tears. Lorelai is preganet (7 months) and Rory is engaged to Logan.
"Mom!" Lorelai came running down the stairs. "What?" "I can't find my shoe" "Is that my problem?" "Yes!" Rory pouted. "Why is my problem?" "Because you birthed me so all my problems go directly to you" Rory smiled still looking for her shoe. "No way, I got enough problems. But Oprah is always free dearie" Rory pouted again and Lorelai joined her. "It's working. I know it is", said Rory. "Nope I'm not going to help" This time Rory gave the puppy dog look. "Fine" Rory showed an approved look on her face. "Go slave go!", said Rory laughing. "When I am old and need diapers you better change them for me" "Sure as soon as I move" "Hardy Har Har" Rory smiled. "I found it!" "Why did you need my help when you were perfectly cappable" "Because it's so much fun annoying you" The door opened and Christopher came in. "Hey sweetie", said Lorelai. Chris smiled and gave her a peck on the cheek. "I got what I needed at the store are we ready to go?" "Yea, yea ,yea" Lorelai grabbed her coat. "The only reason I am coming is for the puffs" "How many did you have last time?", asked Rory. "Oh maybe 12, 15" Christopher laughed. "With the baby it will be like 30" Lorelai pouted. "What's the matter sweetie?" "That means the baby will have more than me. That is not fair" "Life isn't fair when you have children", said Christopher. "Hey!", said Rory. They all stepped outside to find fresh snow on the ground. "I love snow!", said Lorelai. "We know", said Rory. "Don't spoil the fun" They got in the car and drove to the Gilmores. "Why are we coming again?", asked Lorelai. "The cream puffs?", stated Rory. "Oh yeah. Man if only there werent any cream puffs" The three Haydens stepped out and got to the front door. "We can bail this place right?", asked Lorelai. "Why are you so antsie?" "Because my mother, since I was preganet, has been overprotective" Rory laughed, "Yes, it's quite funny" "I would shut-up if I were you. Engaged and all. The baby is coming right around the corner" Rory turned away and gave a dazed look. "Yeah sure is", she said trying to smile. "Where is that fiance of yours anyways?",asked Christopher. "Off on another business trip", she smiled but knew it was a lie. He was seeing that woman again. The other day she had been looking around the apartment and found his cellphone on the floor with 4 new text messages. Feeling like she needed to read them she did.
Sophia: Babes please call me back I miss you and we haven't seen each other in a week. Call me?
Sophia: I know your getting engaged and all but we can still see each other right?
Sophia: I'm glad I saw you today. Knowing you'll be on a Christmas vacation.
Sophia: I might kill myself without seeing you for a couple days. Maybe you could cut the vacation short for a "buisness meeting"
And thats exactly what he did. He told her that he had to be gone the 21st-24th. She pretended she hadn't read the messages. He told her he would be there in time for Christmas. She didn't want to feel the pain, but she did anyways. She kept trying to erase what she had read but she kept thinking about it. "Rory?" Rory stopped thinking and saw the door opened with her grandmother in front of her. "It's impolite to let cold air into a warmed house" "Sory Grandma", said Rory. "No need to be sorry just come in"She stepped inside. The atrium was covered with holiday decorations and she could see a group of people sitting in the living room. "Honey are you alright?", asked Lorelai asked. Christopher and Emily had already entered the living room. "Yea it's fine" She offered a smile. Lorelai nodded and enter the room. "My the last time I saw Lorelai she wasn't this big. The room laughed and Lorelai laughed too though showed she was annoyed. "You would look like this too if you were preganated" The man responded with saying that he was glad that the women dealt with the pregrenacy because he would've never gotten through it. The room laughed again and Rory sat down. "So I hear Rory is engaged? Going to be a Hutzbuger are you?" She nodded and reached for her glass of wine. She took a gulp and let it go down her throat waking her up. "Where is he right now?", asked Emily. "Buisness", she muttered as she took another gulp. Lorelai looked at Rory concerned. "I never rememeber being busy so close to Christmas", said a man. Loreali looked at Rory then jabbed Chris. "What?", he whispered. Then he saw Rory. "Maybe thats because you weren't as succesful", said Christopher trying to kid. Again laughter echoed in Rory's mind. When she went to take another drink she noticed the cup was empty. Then she felt the tears come down. "Sweetie?", asked Lorelai. Suddenly Rory ran out of the room and into the atrium and grabbed her mothers keys from her coat and left the house. She could hear her mother and father calling her name when she opened the door. She didn't dare look over. She got in the car and drove out of the Gilmore residence. She tried to see the road but all she saw was her tears. She stopped at the nearest exit and found a store with a parking lot and parked. She let the tears come fast and hard. She felt so empty and so alone. She didn't want to be alone but she didn't want to see people she knew. She decided to enter the store and look for ice cream. As she went down the aile she saw a vaguley fimilar face. The man had blond hair that was spiked a bit and he had a semi gotee. He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans. "Tristan?" Tristan looked up from reading a soup can and he smiled. "Mary?"
