A/n here's the first in a series of stories with Lia, Tristan, and Rory. For those of you who don't know, Lia is Tristan and Rory's daughter from A Daughters Christmas Wish. Her given name is Lorelai Amelia Gilmore DuGrey but she goes by Lia. Just incase you haven't read ADCW here's what you need to know. Tristan has just retired from the military and he and Rory have a seven-year-old daughter. Luke and Lorelai are married and have a two-year-old daughter, Alyssa. Okay, enough rambling now to the story.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

"Daddy, wake up, Daddy." The voice that was dragging Tristan DuGrey from a deep sleep sounded teary and frightened. Slowly opening one eye he turned his head to see his daughter Lia standing at the edge of his and Rory's bed with tears sliding down her face.

"'smatter Lia?" he mumbled.

"It's Mommy, she's sick. Hurry, please Daddy," she cried. Quickly throwing back the blankets Tristan got up and picked Lia up in one arm.

"Where is she, sweetheart?" he questioned.

"My bathroom," she answered. Nodding he hurried down the hall. As he got closer to Lia's bathroom he could hear the sound of retching. Just before he reached the bathroom door he lowered Lia to the floor and knelt in front of her.

"Why don't you go downstairs and watch cartoons for me okay?"

"No, I wanna stay with Mommy," she protested.

"I know, but let me get her back in bed then you can come up and sit with her while I get your lunch ready for school okay?" Tristan pleaded.

"Okay," she agreed reluctantly as she turned and dragging her feet headed for her room.

"Get dressed for school, please," Tristan called after her. Lia gave him a nod showing she'd heard him. Once he saw her door with the pink Barbie poster on it close he made his way into the bathroom and his sick wife.

"Rory, you okay?" he asked softly as he sat down behind her and pulled her hair out of her face.

"No..." she groaned as she leaned back over the toilet and was sick again. She sank back into Tristan's awaiting arms.

"You okay now?" he whispered into her hair.

"I think so," she answered.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I was downstairs fixing Lia breakfast when all of a sudden the nausea hit and I ran for the bathroom. I knew I wouldn't make it to our room so I aimed for LiLi's. Unfortunately I couldn't close the door and she saw me getting sick I think. I thought I heard her calling for you?" she questioned.

"Yeah she was. She's a little scared," Tristan admitted.

"This is the third day in a row you've thrown up; won't you stay home from work today? Obviously this is something serious," Tristan begged.

"Tristan, I'm fine it's normal, I promise," she reassured him.

"How is throwing up everyday normal?" he asked confused.

"In this case it is," Rory said softly.

"Huh...?" Tristan broke off and his eyes got wide at what he thought his wife was implying. Rory smiled as realization began to show on Tristan's face. "Are you...?" he whispered.

"Yes, I'm pregnant," she answered. A huge smile spread across her face when she told him. A matching smile crossed his as he hugged her.

"This is great, Mary! We're having another baby? I'm going to be a daddy again?" he cried incredulously.

"Yes you're going to be a daddy again," she replied overjoyed that he was so happy.

"How long have you known?" he wanted to know.

"I found out yesterday. I looked at the calendar after I dropped Lia off at school and noticed I was late, so I got a home pregnancy test and took it. When it came out positive I scheduled a doctor's appointment for yesterday afternoon and she confirmed it."

"That's why you needed me to pick Lia up from school. You didn't have a meeting you had a doctors appointment," Tristan said putting the pieces together. Rory just nodded.

"Does anyone else know?" he asked.

"Nope, just you. I wanted to tell Mom so bad, but I wanted to tell you first," she explained.

"I've got a great idea on how to tell Luke and your mom," Tristan enthused.

"What is it?" Rory asked excitedly.

"Why don't we get Lia one of those t-shirts that says I'm a big sister!?" he suggested.

"That's a fantastic idea. Let's wait until after school to tell her okay?" Rory requested.

"Okay, but we need to at least tell her that you're okay. She was really scared," Tristan said.

"Okay, come on lets go talk to our daughter," Rory said as she pulled herself off the floor with Tristan's help.

"You go talk to her I need to go make her lunch or we'll be late for work and school Tristan said. He worked at the gazette as a columnist.

"Okay, I'll talk to her. I love you, Bible Boy," Rory said using her old nickname for him.

"I love you to, Mary," he replied as he gave her a tender kiss. When they pulled away they were both smiling.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Rory opened the door to her daughter's room and had to suppress a laugh her shirt was inside out and her shoes were on the wrong feet.

"Would you like some help?" she asked teasingly.

"Mommy! Are you okay?" she cried as she jumped off her bed and ran to her mother.

"Yes I'm fine, baby. My tummy was upset. You know how you get sick sometimes?" Rory explained. Lia nodded her head her blonde curls bouncing.

"Did Daddy make you all better?" Lia asked.

"Yep, Daddy made me all better. Come on, let me help you with your shoes and shirt then we'll get your lunch and I'll take you to school," Rory told her.

"Okay, come on, Mommy," Lia replied after her shoes and shirt had been fixed.

"I'm coming, sweetheart," Rory said with a laugh.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Lia was excited to see both her parents waiting for her at the end of the school day.

"Hi Mommy, Daddy," she cried as she climbed into the backseat.

"Hi Lia, how was school?" Tristan asked.

"It was good, I got an A on my spelling test," she said.

"That's wonderful, sweets," Rory exclaimed.

"Steve pulled my ponytail at recess," the little girl complained.

"Maybe he likes you?" Tristan suggested as he smirked.

"Ewww, boys are gross Daddy," Lia proclaimed.

"What about me?" Tristan asked.

"You're not a boy, your Daddy," she replied. Rory giggled at the interaction between her husband and their daughter. She gave Tristan a meaningful look. He squeezed her hand as he took the exit for Hartford so they could go to the mall to have Lia's t-shirt made.

"Daddy and I need to talk to you about something," Rory told her daughter.

"What?" Lia asked.

"Well, Mommy's going to have another baby. You're going to be a big sister," Rory said.

"I'm going to be a big sister?" she asked excitedly.

"Yep," Tristan answered.

"Is that why Mommy was sick this mornin?" she questioned.

"Yes, sometimes the baby makes mommy's tummy sick," Rory explained.

"Bad baby, go to time out," Lia scolded. Her parents laughed.

"Are you excited LiLi?" Tristan asked.

"Yes! How long til it gets here?" she questioned.

"It should be here sometime in September," Rory answered.

"Where do babies come from?" Lia asked. Rory and Tristan threw each other a startled what-do-we-do-now? look.

"Well... um... uh, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much they ask the Stork to bring them a baby," Tristan explained.

"Oh," Lia answered before turning to look out the window.

"Good one," Rory sniggered.

"Well did you have a better idea?" Tristan snarked back.

"No, I guess not," Rory reluctantly admitted. Twenty minutes later Lia was proudly wearing a t-shirt that said I'm going to be a big sister!

"You ready to go to Luke's?" Rory asked her daughter as they drove back into Stars Hollow.

"Yeah!" Lia said as she bounced in her seat. Tristan smiled as he pulled into a parking spot outside Luke's. As soon as the car was stopped Lia jumped out and ran for the door.

"Wait for Mommy and I," Tristan instructed. Lia stopped and waited hopping from one foot to the other for her parents to ascend the stairs and reach the door.

"Okay, you can go in now," her mother said as they reached the top of the steps. Anxiously Lia opened the door and scampered into the diner.

"Grandpa!" she shouted as she saw her grandfather behind the counter.

"Hey there, Lia," Luke said as he rounded the counter and scooped his granddaughter up for a hug.

"Hey Rory, Tristan," he greeted.

"Hey Luke," they replied.

"Where's Mom?" Rory asked.

"I'm right here, someone decided she wanted to wear her Spaghetti instead of eating it," Lorelai explained as she carried a freshly bathed Ally down the stairs from Luke's old apartment.

"Grandma!" Lia squealed as she wiggled to get out of her grandfather's arms so she could hug her grandmother. Luke placed her on the floor so she could greet Lorelai. It was then that he caught sight of the shirt she was wearing and what it said. Luke turned wide eyes on Rory and Tristan who were sitting at a table.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes, really," Rory answered. Beaming Luke hurried over and pulled first his step-daughter then his son-in-law into a hug.

"Congratulations you two," he said happily.

"What's going o---? Lorelai began to ask when she noticed the words printed on Lia's shirt.

"You're going to be a big sister?" she asked her granddaughter. Lia nodded her head vigorously.

"You're having another baby?" Lorelai squealed as she turned to her daughter. Rory nodded with tears in her eyes. Lorelai was across the room enveloping her daughter in a tight hug in an instant.

"Can't... breathe... Mom," Rory gasped out.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited. I'm going to be a Grandma again," she cried as she pulled Tristan in for an excited hug.

"How far a long are you?" Luke asked.

"About a month a long. The babies due sometime in September," Rory announced.

"This calls for pie, get us some pie, 'Burger Boy," Lorelai demanded. Luke rolled his eyes, but went to get the pie.

"You want your usual for dinner?" he called back to the group who were seated at the table. Yes they all chorused. Ten minutes later Luke brought out their dinner as well as the promised apple pie.

"Milk? Where's the coffee?" Rory protested.

"No coffee," Luke answered flatly.

"Awww, but Luke..." Rory whined.

"No, I don't want my grandchild to come out with two heads because of your caffeine addiction," he argued. Rory gave a defeated sigh and picked up her glass of milk and took a drink.

"To family," Lorelai said raising her coffee mug.

"To family," everyone repeated as they clinked glasses and began to eat.

TBC?

A/n, this is just the first chapter of this story. My hope is to have a series of stories surrounding this little family what does everyone think. Also, is anyone interested in having a Gilmore Girls fanfiction awards? If so send me a PM or leave a review. I was thinking that people would win icons but I can't create icons so I'd need some help with that and with running the awards. Please let me know. Also, please read and review.
