Title: Losing Grip
Chapter Seven
CHRISTMAS!!!!!
"Rory! Get up! Its Christmas!" Lorelai yelled as she pounced on Rory's bed. "Come on Paris!"
"Go away!" Rory pushed at her Mom, "Must have sleep!" Tristan and Jess had been over the night before and they had stayed late. Rory sprang up out of bed realizing that it was indeed Christmas! "Paris! Get up!" Paris moaned, rolling over and covering her head with blankets. Rory jumped out of her bed and onto Paris'. "PARIS!" she pulled the blankets off the bed, they landed on the floor in a heap.
"Rory! Leave me alone!" Rory heard here muffled voice.
"We can't open our presents until everyone's up! And we have to go to Luke's to get coffee then get Luke and Jess and come back here to open gifts! Come on!" Rory and her mother pulled at Paris.
Paris popped up out of the bed. "Jess? Give me a minute." Rory and Paris put on their coats, it was also a tradition to go to Luke's in their pajamas, it was a tradition Lorelai had come up with one year when she was to lazy to get dressed.
"Come on slowpokes!" Lorelai called from the porch, all ready in her coat, scarf, mittens, and winter boots. Rory and Paris ran out, mittens, hats and coats, ready to go.
"Paris had to put on cute pajamas, other then that, we would have been a lot quicker." Rory told her mother as she pulled on her boots and followed her out the door. Paris hung her head.
"You'd do the same for Tristan." Her mom said, at that, Rory's cell phone rang.
Rory answered it. "Hello?"
"Merry Christmas Mary." Tristan said from the other end.
"Merry Christmas Triscut." Rory grinned. Tristan grinned at the nickname.
"Come on Rory!" her mother pulled her along.
"I'll catch up." Rory told them. Paris and Lorelai headed towards the diner while Rory slowly followed. "How was your Christmas so far?"
"I'm still in bed, what's Christmas when it's not with you?" Tristan replied. "I wanted to hear your voice."
"Aww Tristan!" Rory smiled. "So you're in bed?"
"Yep, wanna join me?" she could hear the smirk he was wearing through his voice.
"Hmmm," she paused to think. "I wouldn't mind, what are you wearing?"
Tristan started to cough. "I'm wearing a smile." Rory burst out laughing. "What?"
"Nothing, so when can I see you?" Rory asked him.
"What? Wearing nothing but a smile? Anytime you want baby!"
"Tristan! I meant when are you coming over?" She shook her head.
"Oh, whenever you want me too, I guess as soon as I get away from here." Tristan said. "I'm still coming from dinner right?"
"Yeah, and don't forget my gift!"
"Aren't we a little anxious!" Tristan grinned as he rolled over on to his back and rested his head on his arm.
"Yes, we are!" Rory replied as she walked into the diner. "So what did you get me?"
"You'll just have to wait and see. See you later Mary, Merry Christmas."
"Bye Triscut, Merry Christmas." Rory hung up. "Merry Christmas you guys." She gave Jess and Luke a hug.
"Merry Christmas," They returned. Luke handed her a coffee.
"Let's go!" Lorelai cried. "It's present time!" She gave Luke just enough time to grab some gifts before she pulled him out the door. They made the trek back to the crap shack, with Lorelai singing Christmas Time by the Backstreet Boys.
"When's Tristan coming over?" Jess asked.
"Around 3, I think," Rory replied. When they reached the house there was a package waiting at the door.
"Santa was here!" Lorelai ran up the steps. "I wonder what it could be? I need to strong men to help me lift it in! oh what ever will I do?" she out the back of her hand to her forehead. "Why I dare say! To strong men to help me!"
"Ok Lorelai, you're starting to scare people now." Luke handed Jess the presents as he picked up the box and brought the box into the house.
"Do you think we should open it now?" Lorelai asked, staring at the box.
"I think we should leave it until last." Rory told her mom.
"Ok! GIFTS!" Lorelai frolicked to the tree. "Mine first!" They spent the next 2 hours opening gifts. Luke and Jess then headed to the kitchen to make their traditional Christmas breakfast. They brought it out and placed it on the dining room table, but not before Lorelai, Rory and Paris laughed until they cried at their aprons, matching pink ones with HOT STUFF wrote on them. They belonged to Rory and Lorelai.
After breakfast they sat in the living room drinking coffee. "We forgot the big box!" Lorelai cried. She hopped up and walked towards it. "Come on Rory, help me." They struggled with it and finally managed to get it opened. Inside there were two gifts. One for Rory and the other for Lorelai, Rory took hers and opened it. Inside was a key chain that said Harvard attached to a set of keys.
"I don't understand." Rory looked at the keys.
"Oh wait, there are cards." Lorelai passed the one labeled Rory. She opened it.

Dearest Rory,
Merry Christmas! I know you're wondering what the keys are for, I know you well enough to know that you are just like your mother and opened the gift first. These keys belong to your Christmas gift that we got you this year, a ford explorer. For those trips to visit us next year when you decide to come home from Harvard! You Explorer is in the garage here, waiting for you visit for our annual Christmas Dinner this evening! Until then!
Merry Christmas, Love your Grandparents.
Rory looked at her mother, tears glistening in her eyes. "What Rory? What is it?" her mother asked her. Rory passed the card to her mother. She hung her head as her mother read it. "Oh Rory!" Her mother wrapped her arms around her. "They must have said to deliver it for today!"
"Open yours." Rory wiped the tears out of her eyes. She watched as her mother opened her gift. It was for a year's supply of coffee from Starbucks, and a set of keys. She read the note.
"It's for an apartment just off Harvard campus for when I want to go visit Rory." Lorelai sobbed.
"I think I'm going to go lay down for a while, I don't feel so well." Rory said, Jess nodded. Rory soon cried herself into a deep sleep. She awoke a while later to someone trailing his or her finger across her arm. She batted at it.
"Wake up Mary." Tristan said softly. She opened her eyes to find Tristan lying next to her.
She smiled. "Hi Tristan."
"Merry Christmas baby." He gave her a quick kiss. "I brought you your Christmas gift."
"Can it wait until later?" she asked him.
"Jess told me what happened, I'm sorry." Tristan told her.
Rory sighed. "Thanks, it just made me realize how I'm not going to see them again." She sat up, placing her hands in her lap.
"It will get easier, that's all I can tell you. I wish there was some way I could help." Tristan told her.
"It's ok Tristan, jut you being here helps me." Rory replied.
"Would you please open your Christmas gift?" Tristan gave her puppy dog eyes. "For me?"
"Sure." Rory smiled at him. He handed her a gift box the size of a cd case. She looked at the tag, it said: 'Open this to see the most beautiful thing in the world.' Rory looked at Tristan puzzled.
"Just open it." He smiled. Rory took the cover of the box and pulled the tissue away. In it was a mirror showing her reflection.
"Oh Tristan!" Rory took a sharp breath.
"The most beautiful thing in the world." He leaned in a kissed her.
