Song: Creed, With Arms Wide Open (don't own)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*

Tristan didn't go to school that day and neither did Rory. They checked out and went to Stars Hollow, tomorrow it was back to Chilton.

On the way home, they silently listened to the radio. A song came on.

Well I just heard the news today It seems my life is going to change I closed my eyes, begin to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I have to be I'll take a breath, take her by my side We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open Under the sunlight Welcome to this place I'll show you everything With arms wide open

Now everything has changed I'll show you love I'll show you everything With arms wide open

If I had just one wish Only one demand I hope he's not like me I hope he understands

That he can take this life And hold it by the hand And he can greet the world With arms wide open

It was a good thing that Lorelai was driving, because Rory broke down crying half way through the song.

"Its not fair." She yelled, hitting Tristan's chest with her curled fists. "Its not fair, damn it, not fair." Rory sobbed into a new side of Tristan, the giant tissue.

"No Rory it's not fair, it'll be okay, though. Shh, calm down baby. Shh." Tristan embraced her, fingering her satin like hair.

"It's not fair, why was Michael taken away from us, my little boy, our little boy? Why?" She bawled.

"I don't know, Ror, it was meant to happen, there's a reason. There's got to be a reason." He breathed into her waves of coffee. "There's got to be a reason." It was like reassuring himself, rather than her.

When they arrived at the Gilmore/ DuGrey home, Lorelai took Rory into her arms, whispering words of hush and sympathy.



Later that evening, (8:00 pm-ish)

The search was on for the telephone that mysteriously disappeared again. Rory was a little better. Lorelai got it finally.

"HaHa, found you!" Click. "Hello, you have reached the house of the crazy and insane where drinking coffee is our top priority. How may I help you?"

"Funny, I thought getting pregnant at 16 was your top priority. Really Lorelai, oh yea and Rory's would be 17." A voice snapped.

"Who the hell is this? Answer me." She responded. Click. The person hung up.

Instantly Rory and Tristan glanced at each other, then to Lorelai.

"It was Dean. I have this feeling..." a knock on the door. "Tristan, come on." Rory grabbed Tristan's hand and took him to the door with her. "Look in the peep hole." Tristan looked. "Who is it?" Lorelai came up behind them, smiling at her daughter and the near replica of the love of her own youth.

"Damn," Tristan swore under his breath, then smiled. "It's alright, just Jess." He unlocked the door for Jess to come in.

"Hey you guys." Jess greeted, hugging Rory, and patting Tristan on the back. "Hey Lore. How you doing?"

"Just great, got a phone call from Dean, or so Rory thinks it was Dean..." Lorelai rambled.

"It was Dean, I can tell. How bout' you, Jess?"

"Okay, I guess. What about you, Ror, and Tris, man, how you guys holding up?" Jess questioned uncertainly.

"Oh we're just fine and dandy. Lost a baby, get threatening phone calls, all in the day of a Gilmore Girl."

"Hey Lorelai, do you want me and Dear Ole Uncle Luke to stay with you guys. Just in case, Narco boy decides to pull something."

"Well, if I have my bed, Rory and Tristan have Rory's, if Luke takes the couch, Jess, you can have to chair or floor. I'm gonna call Luke and tell him to bring his fuzzy pink slippers and bunny pajamas and get his butt over here."

"Mom, I think you own the pink fuzzy slippers and bunny pj's."

"Oh, right, anyways, phone. I got you this time." Lorelai bounced up the stairs to telecommunicate (big word, go me, go me) with Luke.

"It's gonna be a long night," Rory sighed and leaned back against Tristan's chest.

He gently kissed her neck, "Yea, it's gonna be."

"Mmmhhh, Tris..."

"Oh Jesus! (I HAD to put that in, it was sooo funny in 8 o'clock at the oasis. I loved it that whole beginning was sooo good.) Can you two, I don't know, not mate in front of me? Please?"

Tristan's lip left Rory's neck and looked at Jess with a glare. "That is so wrong man. But fine whatever, we'll just do it later, when your sleeping right there in that chair. And when you get up for some water in the middle of the night, you'll come into the kitchen and hear our moans and groans of lust and passion and pleasure, loud and clear. We'll be screaming each other's names, Rory, Rory, Rory..."

"STOP! For all that is good in this world stop! Can't you wait until I'm not here to be fuck buddies?"

"Why would we do that, Jesse pooh? You see having more people in the house just makes it better." Rory turned on her sultry voice.

"Down girl, fine go do it just give me your walkman and the TV remote."

"We can't do it now Lorelai's awake and..." Tristan started.

"What about Lorelai being awake?" Speak of the devil, Lorelai, herself, bounded down the stairs.

"Nothi..." Tristan started once again, but at the same time Jess spoke.

"Rory and Tristan want to go be fuck buddies, but they don't wanna do it while your awake."

"JESS!" Rory and Tristan both blushed.

"Wear a condom, bye. I'll just keep Jess, here, company."

"Mom what are you smoking? You just gave Tristan and I permission to go have sex, during the day, when I just lost my baby, which he fathered." Rory rambled. "Besides we didn't want to fuck, just fool around" She covered her mouth as soon as the word tumbled out. "Damn, wasn't supposed to say that."

"Rory, it's okay. You want to be comforted. Tristan can do that to you. And if it takes a little fooling around, then as long as it's what you want. I can't keep you from sex anymore; I can just try and help protect you. I understand that."

"Are you serious?" Tristan nervously asked.

"Go right now." Demanded Lorelai.

"Alright, bye you guys. Be back in a little bit." Rory was lead off by the hand to her room.

"Lorelai you realize what you just did right?" Lorelai nodded.

"I can't protect her anymore."

Jess nodded in reply.

*^*Rory's Room*^*

Tristan had Rory pinned against her bedroom door with his arms. He hung his head dangerously close to her mouth, moving, teasing.

"Kiss me, already." Rory begged.

Tristan complied. Slowly he enclosed her lips in his, gliding over hers in a quick motion, again. He went to do it again, but as soon as his lips hit hers, Rory sucked his not letting Tristan have his lips back.
