Chapter 16: Pictures
Flash forward Sixteen Years Later: Lexie became a famous writer, taking the talent from her mother who were planning to co-write a mother/daughter book while Dan was in the Boston Red Sox-as the new all star pitcher. They were having the best season since Tristan had retired. Tristan attended all the home games, now become a season ticket holder for good reason.
It was Thanksgiving Day and the whole family was back together in Stars Hollow. Luke and Sookie were cooking dinner while Lorelai, Rory, Tristan and the rest of the Gilmore-Danes/Gilmore-DuGrey and St. James (what's Jackson's last name?) family telling some of their most embarrassing stories. "I think I have a picture of that in the photo album!" announced Rory after telling Dan's most embarrassing one. "No!" moaned twenty-six year old Dan. "I'll be right back!" called out Rory as she walked to Tristan's car. She ran to the trunk and grabbed their photo albums. "Here we go!" she yelled running back into the house. They opened the photo albums to see countless pictures of the five of them, including good old Fenway who had died a few months before. There were pictures of countless family vacations, baseball games, dance recitals, birthday parties.every thing imaginable was in there. "Oh look!" Lexie said with a laugh, there was a picture of her holding baby Dan, when he had first arrived from the hospital. Rory looked at the picture and nearly cried. Her children had grown up, gone to college and now were heading into their careers. It scared her to death and she glanced at the picture and looked at her children and couldn't believe how grown up they were. Lexie was no longer the little girl she had brought up. She was stunningly beautiful with long blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes, she was currently dating Ethan Mariano as Rory had previously predicted and she was as happy as could be. Rory knew that many men off the streets would give her look of admiration but she hadn't turned into what her father had been.she had never been a player, in fact she had only had two different boyfriends before Ethan and the second time her heart had broken she had gone to the Mariano's Christmas Party with her parents and Dan, saw Ethan after had been like four years making her realize she was in love with him. Dan was no longer the baby in the picture but was now one of the best new baseball players in the league, he was also seeing someone as well-her name was Melanie Griffin, who used to be the only girl who played baseball and hockey, making Dan realize when he got older no other girl would be as compatible as to him. Rory smiled at Tristan watching him interact with his children, it had been a long time since the whole family had been together and it was wonderful to see them but she wished they would come to visit more often, especially Dan who was working in Boston, for crying out loud! She sighed and flipped the pages until she saw one of the best family memories she could remember.
Flashback:
"Where are you three going?" Rory asked hands on her hips looking at her husband: Tristan, daughter: Lexie and son: Dan. "Nothing," the three chorused and she eyed them all suspiciously. On all three faces were the infamous DuGrey smirk and twinkling blue eyes. "Where are you going?" she asked them seriously. "Nowhere Mom," Dan piped up. "Okay," she sat back down again and began to read. Then she saw Tristan with a bundle of blankets. "Tris?" she asked looking at him oddly. "Ror, I'm putting these two in the trash," he said with a wink. "Okay," she replied calmly. "What!" shrieked Lexie who began to thrash her legs. "Tell you mom what your doing then," he chided his children. "We're going to wish on stars!" Dan cried out with a laugh. "Can Mommy come?" Rory asked. "Sure!" came Lexie's jubilant answer. Rory grabbed a big blanket for her and Tristan along with a thermos of coffee. Tristan put down the kids while he wrapped the large blanket around him and Rory. "Are you happy?" she whispered. "Not yet.I haven't seen any shooting stars yet," came his reply. "Summer's almost over, meaning your week long vacations are almost over,"
"But by November at the latest.then it will all be over,"
"Love You,"
"Love you too,"
"Look Mommy and Daddy!" their children squealed jumping up and down. In the sky a shooting star was streaking across the sky. "Make a wish," Rory murmured." No need to, I've got all I need right now," Rory smiled as he kissed the top of her head. She leaned up and kissing him on the lips making the two kids dissolve in giggled. Life was good for the Gilmore/DuGrey family. Sometimes, it would be to good to be true but for the five of them: Rory, Tristan, Lexie, Dan and Fenway were truly happy.
End Flashback
"Rory!" called out Lorelai making her realize she was the only one still sitting in the living room. "What?" came her reply walking into the living room to see all of her family sitting down. "Time to eat!" yelled out Lexie. "Luke, you can carve this turkey," Lorelai said smiling at her husband. "And Tristan you can carve this one," Minutes later, both Turkeys had been carved and then they began their ritual of giving their thanks. After that dinner began. People talked and laughed, some asked for food and other just watched the scene that lay before them. Rory, watched the scene in amusement, glad that even though she was older than she had been at sixteen she still had family to come home too and be with for the rest of her life.
The End!
