Recap~

She shock her head with a smile. "Not you.... You were always so sure of us..." The word 'us' brought back a lot of memories to them both.

"Katie... what are you saying?"

"I'm saying I want a chance not to break..."

"Katie, I have someone in my life..."

"But she doesn't have our history!"

"Our history sucks!"

"That's not true. The first year was great!"

"Yea 'was'. Katie I cant...." She could take it anymore. She leaned over the table and kissed him. He tried to resist, but it was Katie. It would always be Katie...

PART 11

At that point leaning over the table kissing her he smelled his coffee. And instantly his mind flashed to Rory. He pulled away.

"I cant, I wont...."

"Tristan this is right, I mean didn't you feel it!?!?"

"NO! I..."

"Tristan, I love you...."

Tristan face went pale. He waited for a year to hear those words from her. But now, after he and Rory finally found each other.

"I got to go..." He just left. Leaving her rather confused.

~*~ Tristan ~*~

"WHAT THE HELL! GOD!" He yelled as he drove. "AFTER ALL THIS TIME.... ARRRGGG! GOD I LOVE Rory I DO! BUT THIS IS KATIE...."

As he yelled him speed increased, he was flying down the open road. He flew down the roads faster and faster. It was late and no one was on the road. Tristan turned a corner to see headlights. He swerved and free onto the side of the road. Breathing heavily he laid his head on the wheel.

"God, please help me..." His mind flashed to his father. What he ad said about Rory, and his dislike for Katie..."

~*~ Flash Back ~*~

"Dad, this is Katie...."

"Oh, your still with her?"

"She's standing right here is she not?" He said rather annoyed at his father rudeness.

"Son, can I talk to you?"

"Yea... I'll be right back...." He said to Katie going with his dad to the study.

"Son, do you know anything about that girl?"

"I know I like her...."

"Tristan her family marries for money. Her mother did it, her sisters too. They both married for money and spat out some bull shit about there husbands and divorced the. They both made over 2 million. That's what they do, that's what she was taught to do."

"How dare you... how dare you say that someone who I care about doesn't care about me. YOU father are the only person who that applies to..." He said walked out to door.

~*~ End Flashback ~*~

"I know you were only looking out for me now dad..." Then he thought about his fathers' words for Rory. That he liked her and that he saw the love in his eyes.

Tristan went home and fell asleep only to dream of the only two women he has ever loved.

~*~ Next Day ~*~

Tristan had a dream and he now knew what he had to do. It cleared everything up for him. He walked into the office that was now his. Looked around at what his father had liked, he was surprised to find he like some of it too.

"You know what you have to do Du Gray...." He said as himself as he picked up the phone.

"Hey.... yea.... me too.... ok.... I'll come get you in 30 minutes.... bye...." He said putting down the phone and getting into his car.

He drove to the house, not knowing how he was going to tell her.

"Hello...."

"Hey...." The girl responded.

"Katie look..."

"No..." She said grabbing him and kissing him passionately.

"Katie!"

"What Tristan, what is it this time! We never had a real chance there was always some thing some one against us!"

"Your right, but if we were really meant to be we would have held strong..."

"Tristan, after what happened to me I had to go away."

"Katie, what happened to you affects me EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE!"

"I."

"No, I will never ever forget what happened to you, and the baby we lost. But I have a girlfriend now and it's over-"

Katie couldn't hold it in any longer. She had wanted to tell him for 2 years now.

"I NEVER LOST THE BABY!" She said barley knowing what she was saying before she had. She didn't want it to come out like this.

Tristan simply looked at her, studied her face to see if she was lying.

"What?"

She was crying of course. "I didn't loss the baby... he's alive now..." She said much softer.

"Katie, what do you mean...."?

"I mean, you have a son. A alive son...."

"Where is he?"

"Tristan, I'm sorry. But I knew that..."

"WHERE is he?"

"Up stairs..." He couldn't stand any more he fell to the stairs and held his head in his hands.

"I'm sorry Tristan..."

"How couldn't you tell me that I have a son!"?

"I knew you didn't love me... I didn't want to tie you down to me...."

"So that's why you came here, kissed me and told me I have a son!"

"I thought it though, and I thought even if there was a 1% chance that you could love me I would have to take it. That he deserved a family..."

"What's his name..."

"Do you need to ask? Tristan of course..."

"Katie how could you?" He said looking at her threw watery eyes.

"I'm sorry. I was young and when my mother sent me to Paris I stayed there and had my... OUR baby against there wishes. They gave me money and my trust found and told me good bye..."

"Why didn't you come to me..."

"And say what? Hey Tristan I've never aborted our baby I've been living in Paris with him for a year. And now that my parents know I want us to be a family?"

"YES! Katie I wish you had! But now... things are so much more complicated..."

"You love her don't you..."

"What?"

"You love her, who ever she is. You love her..."

"Katie..."

"Tristan I understand...."

" I do love her and I don't know how I can tell her this, but I AM NOT LOSSING YOU AND TRISTAN AGAIN!"

"I think he would like to see his father...."

"Absolutely. But I'll be back in an hour. DON'T YOU LEAVE!"

"I wont..." He stood up and gave a hug.

~*~ Car ~*~

He was pulling into Rory's drive way not 15 minutes later.

"Rory!" he rang the bell. "Rory!"

"What?"

He was now at a loss for words. "We need to talk...." They walked into her house and sat down on the couch.

"Rory, I love you..."

She smiled and leaned in and kissed him.

"I love you too..." She said.

Tristan couldn't be happier or sadder. She loved him, but what now. He could hurt her 20 times more now that she loved him.

"Rory...."

"What's wrong?"

"Rory, do you remember me talking about a girl named Katie?"

"On the phone last night but that about it...."

"Ok, think about two years... do you remember me talking about a Kat?"

She remembers he had dated one. "Yea... or KAT!?"

"Yea, that Kat... any way you knew how I felt about her."

"As I recall, you said you loved her..." She said hoping to god this wasn't going to got he way she thought it was.

"Katie is Kat..."

"Tristan what are you saying?" Her eyes had been watering and now one tear fell down her cheek.

"I'm saying that Katie came back into my life last night. But not the way you think. Rory I never told you... hell I never told anyone... but when we are sophomores Katie got pregnant.

"With your..." She couldn't even think about it.

"With my child."

Rory mouth moved as if she wanted to say something but couldn't pick the words.

"Rory, she left for Paris. Her mother told me she had the baby aborted and didn't love me any more. I never herd from her, so could only believe it was true."

"Tristan..."

"Wait... She called me last night and I went to coffee with her. She kissed me..." Rory let the tears flow. "But then he smell of coffee zapped me back to reality... to you." He yipped her tears away, which was point less 'cause more just came.

"Rory, I left. I went home and I had a dream. I was standing at the alter, a girl all in white started to come down the aisle. She got there and it was Katie..." Rory couldn't help but let out a chock. "But when it came time to say 'I do' I couldn't. And then you in the most beautiful pink dress I have ever seen stood there on the other side of me. I told Katie that I love you... I watched her fade away and then I looked at you. You more beautiful then ever and all in white. There and then we got married."

"What does it all meant to you Tristan?"

"There's more...then, this morning I went to Katie's house... I told her that I loved you and that it was over." Rory had a faint smile hit her lips. "Then she dropped the biggest bomb of my life on me.... Rory... she had our baby.... He is two and his name is Tristan...."

"You have a son?"

"Yea..." He said almost proudly. "But it doesn't change the way I fell for you. I LOVE YOU! But I'm afraid this changes how you fell for me..."

"Tristan... I...." She didn't have to say it; he saw it in her eyes.

"Your not ready for a guy with a baby. I under stand..." He got up and left. Leaving Rory confused, shocked, and heartbroken.

Tristan drove back to Katie's house.

"Hey..."

"Can I see him?"

"I've waited 2 years to hear those words..." The two walked up stairs into a room. He looked over a small boy with hair blond.

"Tristan..." Katie said waking up her son.

"Mmm... what mom?"

"Honey, this is your daddy..." The last word of the sentence the boy jumped up. Tristan smiled and walked over to him.

He could help it he cried and hugged him. The boy was confused, but he was crying too. Crying because he had never seen his father.

~*~ 3 month later ~*~

Tristan had gone straight into the real world after all. He and Katie had been dating in the a sense of the word. He wanted his son to have a normal life so Katie and he decided to get married.

Tristan stood at the alter. Katie and he had agreed to this for their son. Sure he loved her, but there was Rory. He knew she was gone and when it came down to it the only thing in the world he had to protect now was his son.

He looked down to the end of the aisle. She was in a beautiful white dress and began to walk down slowly. He felt his heart pounding. She finally reached him; he took a breath and smiled. He took her veil and lifted it. He all most fell over.

"Rory!"

"I love you..." She said. Tristan looked around for Katie, he couldn't believe he hadn't noticed her setting in the front row. She just smiled and nodded her head. Tristan looked around the church, he was dumb! Not a single member of Katie's family was there. But all of stars hallow was.

"I Love You!" She told him again.

"Is there a problem?" The priest asked.

"No, everything is perfect..." Tristan grinning.

(Blah blah blah)

"You may now kiss the bride..." And they did for the first time in 3 months.

~*~ After they walked down the Aisle ~*~

"Rory! What the hell is going on!?" Katie walked into the room.

"Hey you two."

"Katie what's going on?" He head went back and forth to the two women wait for one to answer.

"Tristan, I knew you didn't love me like that. That you did this for our son. I couldn't let you ruin your life. So I did my research and found Rory..."

"And when she explained everything I knew now that I loved you even more. And then we had an idea." Rory said

"We knew if she came to you, you wouldn't call off our wedding. And if I told you I didn't want you any more you would know something was up." Katie continued.

"So we decided on this..." She said with an innocent smile on her face.

"And what would have happened if I didn't want to marry you?" Tristan sarcastically.

"We knew you would...." The two girls both said.

"Thank you Katie..."

"Your welcome. But this doesn't get rid of me! Me and our son are staying."

"You bet your ass you are!" He hugged her. "And you!" He turned to Rory.

"Yes?"

"You are..."

"Yours forever...." And she kissed him.
