I don't own Gilmore girls.

He didn't know how he'd gotten there he hadn't set out to end up there but before he realized it Tristan found himself in Stars Hollow pulling up outside of Rory's house. He sat outside in his car staring up at the house wanting to go in but not being brave enough to get out of the actual car. He jumped when he heard someone tap on the glass. He turned his head and looked at Lorelai standing outside staring at him as she huddled against the cold and the snow. "Are you ever coming out?"

He rolled down the window. "I was thinking about it but…." He trailed off looking back up at the house.

"Come on bible boy out." Lorelai pulled his door open and grabbed his arm pulling him out of the car and up towards the house. He laughed as he was pulled along.

"Why do I feel like I'm being kidnapped?"

"Hey you showed up here I'm just getting you from point a too point b."

"You're crazy you know that right?" He let her pull him up on the porch and through her door.

"so I've been told many times by many people. It just doesn't faze me anymore." She turned around and smirked at him.

"Mom why do you have ahold of Tristan." Rory yawned coming into the living room.

"Ah he showed up in our driveway I figured we couldn't let him freeze so I brought him inside. I can kick him out again if you want too."

"No." Rory giggled shaking her head. "He can stay."

"Well don't I feel special." Tristan grumbled trying to pull his sleeve out of Lorelai's grasp.

"You should we usually don't let boys in the house." Lorelai smirked letting go of his sleeve."

"What are you doing here Tristan?" Rory tried to stifle another yawn.

"I don't know." Tristan ran his hand through his blond hair making it stand up on edge. Rory looked at him and grabbed his sleeve where Lorelai had let it go.

"Come with me." She turned back to her mother. "We'll be in my room."

"You're lucky I trust you." Lorelai grumbled as she banished her finger at Tristan. "But you, you I don't trust. Though I guess I should get used to you, we're kind of connected now." Rory threw her mother a look shaking her head and pulling Tristan towards her room. She shut the door behind them and sat down on her bed looking at Tristan who was looking behind him.

"Oh don't worry about her, she's harmless mostly."

"It's that mostly part I'm worried about."

Rory snorted "Sit." She patted the bed beside her.

"ooh are you trying to seduce me Mary."

"You wish." She rolled her eyes. "Now sit."

Reluctantly Tristan sat down and faced her. "So I don't know why I'm here I think I just wanted out of my house. I got into a fight with my dad because he wanted me to talk about it." He couldn't bring himself to say his sister, our sister the baby or Georgia he could only say it."

"Yeah." Rory sighed. "My mom wanted to talk too."

Parents." Tristan flopped down on Rory's bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Rory asked gently.

"Kind of I don't know." He flung his arm over his eyes. They sat in silence letting all of the unsaid words waver around them. He didn't look at her his arm still over his eyes. "I don't really have a relationship with my mom as you can guess I'm sure like I said before she left me as a baby and she pops in and out. My dad that's another story. I know he loves me but raised in Hartford society men are supposed to have less to do with children then their female counterparts so I was raised mainly by nanny's and once in awhile both grandmother's would get involved. Mom moved all over the place. Finally she hit Boston not long before I got sent away. I guess the reason I acted out was because she kept calling, she kept trying to get into my life and I didn't want anything to do with it I didn't want anything to do with her. Her job was always more important than anything to her."

"I could tell that." Rory snorted thinking of how Sherry had her running all over the place.

"Yeah well after I got sent away to Carolina I got that call you know the one your mom is pregnant and she's getting married."

"I found out in person but it wasn't a pleasant time." Rory sighed biting her lip. She wanted to tell Tristan the truth. About how she found out about how Chris had lied about being there for Lorelai and Rory how he'd went back to Sherry and the baby, but she wouldn't she couldn't. Tristan already had a rocky relationship with his mother and as much as Rory hated her own father at the moment she didn't know how she'd feel if Tristan saw him in an even worse light.

Tristan watched her eyes and he could tell there was more she wasn't saying but he wasn't going to push her. He knew what it was to hide yourself your story. Neither of the teens realized heard Lorelai knock on the door and then open it. "Rory." Both of them jumped and turned towards her.

"Mom."

"Hey kiddo I'm going to go to Luke's you want to come along?"

"Oh um." She looked over at Tristan.

"You go I have to get home anyway I'm sure my dad is wondering where I went." He stood up and went to leave but Rory stopped him.

"Wait I'll walk you out." She grabbed a jacket and followed him out to his car. She grabbed his hand and fished a pen out of her coat writing her number down on his hand before he could leave. "Call me okay." She dropped the pen back into her pocket and turned to leave. He looked down at the blue pen marks on his hand and smiled as he got into his car. He drove back towards Hartford and shook his head. Who knew all he had to do too get Rory Gilmore's number was too share a sister with her.
