Author's Note: Well here's the Sequel to Even the Best Laid Plans Backfire, it picks up during their sophomore year of college at Yale and at times during the story I'll fill in parts about what happened after the "Emily" finale. I hope you enjoy!
Tristan sat in his dorm room on his bed holding Rory as she cried. She had been crying every night for a month. She couldn't believe that her grandmother had cut her off from everything and even cut her out of the family. She was still in contact with Lorelai who put on a false front that she still liked her even though she hated her for making her baby upset.
Rory was still able to go to Yale with Tristan because her father stepped in and said that he would help Lorelai with tuition. Tristan's heart broke for Rory every time she would come over crying over what happened. She was slowly starting to get better and that made Tristan feel a little better.
Rory was still in contact with her grandfather who told her that if she needed anything to just call him and he would get it for her. He wanted her not to worry about anything and to just focus on school. He wanted her to succeed and show Emily that she didn't need Emily and Richard's money to do so. Rory lifted her head from Tristan's chest and looked at him.
"You feel better?" Rory wiped her cheeks and sat in Tristan's lap. "I love you Rory."
"I love you too Tristan." She whispered as she fell asleep he soon gave in and fell asleep with her.
The next morning Rory woke up feeling crappy as usual but this time Tristan wasn't lying next to her. She sat up as Tristan came strolling in with coffee setting one down in front of Rory. She smiled sipping the hot magic elixir that always made her feel better.
"Hey how are you this morning?"
"I'm okay." Tristan looked at her up and down debating in his mind if she was lying or telling the truth. He stood up and started moving around the room like a mad man. "What are you doing?"
"Let's go spend the weekend in New York."
"Tristan are you feeling okay?" He looked at her with a shocked expression on her face.
"Do you not know what today is?" She stood and walked to her bag looking for a calendar when her cell phone alarm went off. She smacked her head and turned to Tristan a smile on his face. "Write it down that for once Tristan Dugrey remembered his anniversary with his fiancée when one Lorelai Gilmore did not!" Tristan playfully accused throwing more clothes in his bag. "Come on let's go." He grabbed her hand pulling her along behind him as he practically ran to her dorm.
It was no surprise to Rory to find Paris sitting in Rory's dorm waiting for her to come home. Ever since Paris decided to move in with Rory she's been waiting for Rory to come home. Motherhood has calmed Paris's overbearing mean attitude and replaced it with a motherly type attitude. "Hello Paris." Rory called as Tristan gently pushed her into her room telling her that they were leaving in 30 minutes.
"Hello Rory and Tristan." Tristan smiled when he saw Dominic sitting next to Paris with his little hands in the air.
"Hey Dom Tom how are you?" Tristan cooed picking him up and putting him in his lap. "How is mommy today?"
"I'm tired, he kept me up all night and I have a paper due Monday."
"Where's Jamie?"
"At the hospital with his grandmother; I feel so bad because they're so close." Tristan nodded knowing the feeling of being close with a grandparent. "Where are you two headed?"
"I've decided that she needs to have fun so I'm taking her away to New York for our anniversary."
"Aww Tristan that's so cute." Paris gushed which was so unlike her. Tristan just smiled playing with Dominic's hands while Paris watched how Tristan interacted with Dominic and smiled. She excused herself and went into Rory's room. "You need to tell him." Rory looked up at Paris confused. "You need to tell him you're pregnant."
"I will."
"No Rory you have to tell him he's not gonna freak out like you think he will. He's not going to be like your dad he's around for the long haul."
"Alright I'll tell him tonight when we're in New York." Paris nodded and sighed as Rory left the room. She walked out moments later as Tristan and Rory were leaving and Dominic sat on the couch watching The Wiggles.
Tristan held Rory's hand as he drove into the city to the hotel that they stayed at when he proposed almost 2 years ago. He couldn't believe that they've been together for 3 years and engaged for 2. Thinking back on when they got together he should've proposed right then.
Tristan checked them in and Rory fell back on the bed breathing a sigh of relief. She knew that she had to tell Tristan and was just waiting for the right time and now that they were away from school and their families she felt like it was time.
"Tristan I have to talk to you." Tristan poked his head out of the bathroom and noticed her uneasiness.
"What's up?" He asked sitting next to her grabbing her hand in his own.
"I'm pregnant." She whispered looking at the ground thinking that his hand left hers and he was long gone. He lifted her chin with his finger and kissed her hard. She being surprised that he wasn't flipping out pulled away as soon as she registered the fact that he was kissing her.
"What's wrong?"
"Why aren't you flipping out? Why aren't you telling me that you're going to leave me and that the baby's not yours?" Tristan looked at her and laughed. He couldn't stop laughing and Rory just sat there impatiently waiting for him to compose himself.
"You watch WAY too much Maury Mare." She smiled a little against herself and laughed a little. "First off I'm not flipping out as you say because this is great and second you couldn't get someone better than me." He smirked and dodged her hand that almost slapped her shoulder. "I think we should call your mother and tell her." He suggested grabbing the hotel phone while Rory smiled and hugged his waist.
"I love you Tristan."
"I love you too." He handed her the phone and laid back on the bed. This was the best anniversary they've shared so far. They're on their way to the lives they've always wanted the remaining pieces of the puzzles were getting married and graduating and Tristan had faith that it was going to be a walk in the park. "Ror let's set a date." He suddenly announced after he heard her hang up with her mother.
