A/N: *shakes head* I know that is has been over a year since I updated this story and for that I am sorry… Unfortunately when real life interferes it comes first…. But at least I am finally back with an update to this story now that I have found the notebook it was in… LMAO!

Once they were at Janlan's house Rory was pushed gently onto one of the couches by Logan and Janlan both. She shook her head at them both but gave them a smile. "Okay I'll stay seated."

Logan chuckled and nodded. "That you will, Ace, even if one of us have to tie you down. You just found out that you are pregnant so you don't need to be stressing yourself at all."

Janlan nodded and sat down beside Rory. "I am sorry that you had to find out that you are pregnant without Tristan by your side, Rory. However I am very happy that I was there to hear the news. I assure you that once Tristan gets here this evening that nothing and I mean nothing will ever take him away from you again. You and Tristan may be young but I can tell that you are both very much in love with another and I also have no doubt that you will be for the rest of your lives. Tristan is like me in that sense. I met my wife in high school and married her right out of it and we were together up until the day she died. I still love her even though she is gone and that is why I am still single."

.

Rory blushed and smiled. "I do love Tristan very much, Mr. DuGrey. I never realized just how much I loved him until he was taken away from me."

Janlan smiled and patted Rory on the leg. "You can call me Janlan or even Grandpa, Rory. After all we are going to be family. Now I am going to have some food fixed for you and you need to make sure that you eat it all. I for one don't want Tristan yelling at me because you haven't taken care of yourself."

Rory nodded and looked up as Colin, Madeline, Paris, Louise, and finally Michael DuGrey walked in. "I am getting hungry again. Unfortunately I think I am going to have to go shopping because all of my clothes are too loose on me. I just realized how much weight I have lost."

Michael DuGrey sighed and walked over and knelt down on the floor in front of Rory after he watched his Father walk out of the living room to go have some food made for Rory. He took Rory's hands in his own and looked her in the eyes. "I know that it is going to take a long time before you trust me and I promise you that I will work towards that every day for the rest of my life. I want you to know I have thought about what you said earlier to me at Chilton and I can see that what you said is the truth. On the way here I called my business partner and told him that I am taking the next couple of months off but I will deal with anything that is local. I want to get to know my son like I should have from the beginning. I want to get to know you and I want to be able to be there for my Grandchild. Tristan's Mother Amelia is probably going to get angry at me but I don't care. From now until after this baby is born any trips that she wants to take will be blocked. She needs to also learn that there is more in life then parties and trips to anywhere in the world that she wants to go. I have never been the best Father but I am hoping to be able to make up for that. As for you needing to go shopping I will personally pay for anything that you need or want. Now before you tell me that you don't take charity it isn't charity. You are family and I want to spoil you. I have never had a daughter before and I would love it if eventually you can start seeing me as your Father. I do know from what your Mother has said that your Father has been out of your life now for the last year. I know that I cannot take his place but I want you to know that I am here for whatever you need."

Rory's eyes filled with tears at Michael's words and she surprised everyone including Michael and herself when she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him. "We start fresh from today. Nothing in the past matters anymore. I want my child to know all of his or hers Grandparents. I have no doubt that you and Tristan have a lot of problems that you need to talk through but I also have no doubt that you will get through them. Tristan has a big heart and once you are in it you are in it for life. I know that he loves you, Michael, so now it is up to you to show him that you love him as well."

Michael nodded and hugged Rory back before he pulled back slightly and kissed her on the head. "I do believe I am going to enjoy having you as a daughter, Rory."

Rory chuckled. "Oh I'm a whole lot of trouble. Just ask Logan and Colin here."

Logan snorted. "You are not trouble, Ace. However trouble does seem to follow you. Speaking of trouble I have my Dad looking into getting you a bodyguard until this situation with whoever is sending you the letters is taken care of. I do believe that once Tristan is back that you need to come clean to your Mother about it."

Rory groaned but before she could say anything Janlan who walked back into the living room during Logan's statement demanded "What letters?"

Rory groaned again but said "I have been getting letters at home and at school from someone telling me that I am theirs and theirs only. I have had to have Logan and Colin change my tires on my car because they have been slashed while I've been in school. I have had stuff put in my locker as well. I have no clue who has been doing it."

Janlan's eyes grew cold. "I'll call Mitchum and see how he is coming along with finding a bodyguard for Rory. If he hasn't found one yet I'm sure between us we will find one and soon. Logan is right, Rory, you need to tell Lorelai. Also from now on you will let mine or Michael's driver take you to and from school unless you are riding with Tristan, Logan, Colin, Paris, Madeline, or Louise. There is no sense in taking chances when you don't have to."

Michael nodded. "I'll make sure that Brice is available at anytime day or night if you need to go somewhere, Rory. If whoever has been leaving you letters has slashed your tires then there is nothing to say that he or she won't up their game even sooner especially once they learn that Tristan is back and that you and Tristan are together. From here on out you don't go anywhere without someone with you."

Rory nodded and then yawned. "Sorry about that. I haven't been getting much sleep lately."

Janlan shook his head and smiled. "After you eat lay across the couch and catch some sleep. We still have about four hours or so before Tristan and Finn get here."

Rory nodded again and then smiled when a maid appeared with a tray. After she took the tray from the maid she thanked her and then started in on eating while Logan, Janlan, Paris, Colin, Lousie, Michael, and Madeline all talked to one another. Once she was finished with the tray she handed it to Madeline who held her hands out for it and smiled at everyone before she laid down on the couch with her head in Logan's lap. She fell asleep as everyone carried on talking. She had no doubt that when she woke up again it would almost be time for the love of her life to be home.
