Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls and never will.

A/N: Just a little back ground. This starts after Rory dropped out of Yale. Logan is not going to be a part of this story as of now because I don't think I can handle two men after Rory. I know Rory is out of character but I'm going to try and change that later in the story.

Rory Gilmore looked up from the wrinkled newspaper to the massive house before her. 'God this place is bigger than my Grandparents place!' Looking around Rory noticed the neatly trimmed lawns and perfectly washed cars at every house. 'I feel like I just got transported to Stepford, Connecticut,' Rory thought as she stepped up and rang the doorbell. The bell had barely finished when the door was promptly opened by a maid.

"Hello, I'm Rory Gilmore. I'm here for an interview for the nanny position."

"Oh yes ma'am. Ms. Cassatt has been expecting you. Follow me please." Rory was lead down the hall to her left passing painting after painting, one looking to be an authentic Van Gouge. "Right here miss." The maid opened a door where a slender blonde woman sat behind a desk sorting through papers. "Ms. Cassatt. Ms. Gilmore is here to see you." The blonde, Ms. Cassatt, looked up and gave Rory the once over before dismissing the maid with a wave of her hand.

"Please be seated Ms. Gilmore. Can I get you something to drink?"

"Water would be lovely." Ms. Cassatt handed Rory the bottled water before sitting down and pulling out her resume.

"So how is it that you came across this position Ms. Gilmore?"

"Well I was attending Yale but I realized I wasn't quite cut out for my major so I dropped out you could say. I've been looking for employment since but none have interested me until I came across the nanny wanted ad. I've always loved children and have recently started considering going back to school and getting a degree in education."

"What do your parents do?"

"Well my mom owns her own inn in Stars Hollow and my dad and I only speak on occasion."

"Do you speak any languages besides English?"

"I can speak French and I dabbled in Latin in high school." Ms. Cassatt looked the papers once more before looking back up at Rory.

"Well Ms. Gilmore it would seem everything is in order. You have excellent potential. You do know that even though I am not little Adelaide's Guardian you will mostly be dealing with me. Adelaide's father is a very busy man and he is away a lot of the time but you will be meeting him shortly."

"So I got the position?" For the first time since Rory stepped foot in the house Ms. Cassatt smiled.

"Yes Ms. Gilmore you have the position. Let me show you around the house." Standing Ms. Cassatt led Rory from room to room each seeming bigger then the previous one. Every once in a while giving orders that Adelaide was restricted from said room.

"Adelaide enjoys playing tin her nursery and sulking around the kitchen till cook gives her a cookie. Meals are simple. Cook," waving a hand at the tall Italian man chopping vegetables, "here can fix anything. Just tell him what it is that you want. If you want snacks the pantry here is packed full of anything a four-year-old could want." Rory looked in and realized she wasn't joking. 'And everything a Gilmore Girl could want too.'

"Okay on to the rules. She is allergic to dog hair, preferably no food or drink one hour before bed time, and bedtime is at eight. Any questions?"

"Um yes. When will I be meeting with the parents?"

"Oh hun it's just the father."

"Just the father?" 'Don't these kinds of people frown on that? Or is it only when a Gilmore does it?' Ms. Cassatt's eyes lit up as she leaned in to Rory.

"Yes. Turns out the mother kept her pregnancy a secret and dropped the baby off when he was on a trip to Paris." 'Oh poor man.' "Ready to meet him?"

"Um I guess." Rory was led back down the hall and up a flight of stairs and stopped at eh second door on her right.

"Sir the new nanny is here."

"Send her in." Ms. Cassatt opened the door and slightly pushed Rory in. Once in Rory thought she was in Heaven. Books lined every wall of the room ranging from the classics to books on military defense methods. "Well well well if it isn't my Mary." Rory turned around and looked at the man before her.

"Tr…Tristen?"
