I stayed in the hospital over night. My mom and Tristan stayed with me and in the morning I went to my mother's house when I was released. I didn't want to be alone. Tristan stayed with me the entire time never leaving my side which was nice. I wanted him to be around especially when Logan didn't call me back. I left him a few messages but there was nothing for a few days and then I got a text.

Tristan had just walked into the kitchen and I was sitting in my bed reading. I opened my phone and saw that it was a video message from Mitchum titled I told you so. It was a video of Logan kissing another girl at a function. I played the video a few times and then I slammed my phone shut and tossed it on the nightstand. I could feel the tears running down my face again and I felt Tristan wrap his arms around me.

"What happened?" He was rocking me back and forth.

"Just look for yourself." I pointed to the phone. He picked it up and watched what Mitchum sent and I saw the anger on his face.

He closed the phone and then grabbed my hand and pulled me out of bed and dragged me into the kitchen where my mom was sitting. He handed her the phone and then dragged me outside onto the porch. I was still in my sweats but he didn't seem to care. He dragged me onto the porch swing and then turned to me.

"Are you over him?" He looked me in the eyes as he spoke.

"Over who?" I was confused by his question.

"Logan, are you over Logan?"

"Yeah, I think so..."

"No I think so. Are you over him? Has he hurt you enough? Rory think about this he cheated on you more than once and he never returned your calls. He is a jerk and he is only hurting you. Rory why can't you see that he doesn't love you? I love you not him."

"You love me?" I was shocked by his proclamation.

"Yeah I love you and I am tired of him hurting you. I want to be with you Rory, without feeling bad about it..."

"I love you too." He stopped talking and smiled.

"Really?"

"I was confused for a while about how I felt but I'm not anymore. Logan was nice but I only think I gave him a chance because of you. I wanted to be with you in high school I just had other things on my mind..."

"By other things you mean Dean."

"Yeah Dean. Listen Tristan I am sad because I lost my baby not because I no longer have a tie to Logan. I think that this baby may have been the only thing that was holding him to me and well that video made me upset because I was right. I don't love him, I love you."

"I love you too and I hate to see you upset."

"I know but you need to give me time to grieve. I just lost my baby and I need sometime but I want you in that time."

"I'm glad because I wasn't leaving." He kissed me and then pulled me into him and I laid my head on his chest.

We sat there for a while just like that. After a while we decided to head inside so I could shower and changed and then we could go out for a little while. When I walked past the kitchen my mom came running to me and pulled me into a hug.

"I hate him. I hate him I hate him I hate him."

"I know mom but hating him will do nothing for me. I am going to shower and then Tristan and I are going out."

"Seriously?" She pulled away and looked at me.

"Yeah. Sitting here all day is not doing me any good and I just want to get my mind off of the whole thing."

"Okay." She rubbed my arm and then I grabbed some clothes to change into and went upstairs to take a shower.

I took a quick shower and then dried my hair and changed into a pair of jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. I came down stairs and found Tristan sitting on the couch waiting for me. I grabbed some shoes and slipped them on and we left to go out.

As we walked into town I could hear the whispers but they didn't bother me. I knew that people were going to talk about me losing the baby and about me being with Tristan but that was a fact of life and the sooner I got it out of the way the faster I could recover. I took Tristan to Luke's diner and we sat in a corner table by ourselves. Luke waved as we walked in but he didn't come over to take our order. Instead he walked over to our table with two glasses of water and two burgers just the way I liked them and with an apple pie. He set them down on the table and then walked away. I was thankful that he was respecting my privacy.

Tristan and I dug into our food without many words. As I was eating I could see Taylor and Miss Patty talking in the corner and I knew that they were up to no good. I finished my burger and then started working on the fries keeping my eyes on them. It was when we moved onto the pie that Miss Patty and Taylor started to make their way towards our table. I looked at Tristan who didn't notice and then back to them who were almost at our table. I took a deep breath and calmed myself before they arrived.

"Ah Rory sweetie we were so upset when we heard about the baby." Miss Patty was rubbing my back as I tried to fight off the tears. "I can't imagine how hard this must be for you and we want you to know that we are all here for you if you need anything."

I muttered a thank you before I fell apart and started crying again. Tristan got up and held me in his arms as they backed away giving us space. Tristan looked at Luke and he nodded as Tristan escorted me out of the diner and into the air of the night that was quickly approaching. He kept his arms around me as we walked through town and then kept walking until there was nothing. When there was nothing around us he took my hand and we sat down in the grass. After sitting for a while I laid on my back and Tristan did the same. There were millions of stars above our heads and I watched as a shooting star danced above out heads.

"Tristan?"

"Yeah Rory?" He squeezed my hand.

"Do you want to hear what I think?"

"Yeah I do."

"I think that my baby is up there looking down on me and laughing for feeling sad. I think that my baby thinks it's funny that I can't seem to move on. I mean I never even knew the sex of the baby and yet I was attached to it. I loved it so much and yet it was ripped away from me before I ever got to see it or hold it or even name it. Life is funny that way. The one thing that I thought I wanted I can't have and the one thing I could have I didn't want. Tristan I really wanted that baby and I don't know why. It's silly because you would think being this far into college a baby would be the last thing I would ever want and yet that was exactly what I wanted. You must think I am insane..."

"I don't think you are insane. I think that you are the bravest person I know but not insane..."

"The bravest? HA. I was terrified when I found out and I was even more terrified when I was confused about my love life. Brave isn't the right word to describe me. Grown up maybe but not brave."

"You see that is where you are wrong. You are braver than you think you are. Anyone could be grown up but not everyone could be brave enough to challenge their comfort zone. Not everyone would be willing to risk the relationship with their baby's father to find love but you did..."

"Yeah most people would call me stupid."

"I don't think you are stupid. I think you are brave and that is all that should matter."

"You want to know a funny story?"

"Sure."

"The day before I found out I lost the baby Mitchum asked what it would take for me to get rid of it."

"He did not."

"He did. I bet he is going to jump for joy at the news."

"How is he going to find out?"

"Logan?"

"I don't think you should tell him."

"Why not? He is the father."

"Yeah but you saw that picture. He is not a father."

"And he won't be, at least not a father of my baby. Do you think he is going to be mad?"

"Who knows. But do you want to know what I think?"

"No what do you think?"

"I think that you need to go and move out of his apartment, get a new phone number, get a new place to live, and move on. I didn't want to tell you until I had everything sorted out but I am transferring to Yale. Move in with Rory." I looked over to him and saw the outline of his face.

"Are you serious?"

"As serious as a heart attack."

"You want me to move in with you?"

"Only if you want to Rory. There is no pressure, I promise to always be there for you and to only look at you. There is no one else I want Rory. Please move in with me and say you want to be with me as much as I want to be with you."

"Yes. Yes I want that. I want to wake up next to you every morning and I want to know that you will always be there for me. I want to live with you Tristan and I want you more than you could ever know." He sat up and pulled me into his arms. I could feel tears flowing down my cheeks but these were tears of happiness.

We stayed there for a long time. We talked to each other about whatever came to mind and we watched the stars. We were lost in conversation and when we finally made it home it was a little after midnight. My mom was asleep on the couch. She probably tried to wait up for us but it didn't work out too well. I pulled a blanket over her and then turned off the television and set the remote on the coffee table and then we went into my room. Tristan settled into the trundle bed while I got comfortable on my little bed. That night I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face and it felt right.

I heard my mother talking to Tristan in the morning. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost nine. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. I was greeted by the smell of coffee which Tristan poured into a cup and handed to me along with a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey hun how you you feel?" My mom was dressed for work.

"I feel great."

"That's good. So you are moving out?"

"You two talked?"

"Just a little."

"Yeah I am. What do you think?"

"I think that is one of the smartest decision you have made in a long time."

"I'm glad."

"So are you two leaving today?"

"I think that would be best. I have to get back to class and to the paper and he needs to get settled in."

"I think that it is going to be just fine."

"It should be."

"Okay well I love you and I have to go to work." She gave me a kiss on the cheek and then left.

"Are you ready?" I looked to where Tristan was sitting.

"Yeah." He got up and I put the coffee cup in the sink and then we went out to his car and we went back to Yale. Stopping at a phone store on the way where I got a new phone number and a new phone.

Tristan already purchased an apartment and he helped me move out of Logan's place. There were a lot of boxes but Finn and Colin helped. Apparently they heard about the baby and what Logan had done in London. I thanked them and then we went to Tristan's place. I unpacked a few boxes and then called it a day. I fell asleep in Tristan's embrace and it all felt so right.

A/n: So this chapter is the new start for Rory. She is finally out of Logan's life or vice versa and she is now dedicated to Tristan who just happened to be coming to Yale. Go figure. Anyway please review and let me know what you think!
