*AN: Thank God exams is over! I was able to write this story in couple of hours (couple of hours? you says, well it's because I started writing this this afternoon, took a break to take a shower, then came back to the pc, then had dinner while I was having writer's block and then came back here, and then stopped to watch 7th Heaven and then GILMORE GIRLS [episode: Help Wanted] yey! And after Gilmore Girls, I finally finished this story) and so I apologize if it's not a long chapter. And also I know some of you readers are dying to know what kind of sickness Rory have. Don't worry, I'm getting there soon...in the next chapter of after the next chapter but hey you gotta be patient.*

Lorelai parked her car in front of Luke's and waited for Tristan to arrive. She glanced around and found Rory sitting at the Gazebo by herself. Why can't she be happy as she promised? Lorelai thought. Is it really painful for you, Rory?

Then Tristan arrived and parked his car behind Lorelai's jeep and approached to her

Lorelai only continued to look at Rory's direction and Tristan followed her gaze. He saw Rory and the look of her expression made him deeply concerned and hated to see her like that.

"Go and talk to her, she would probably need someone right now…" Lorelai shrugged

Tristan nodded his head, Lorelai weakly smiled at him before entering Luke's and Tristan went to cross the street to the Gazebo as Lorelai went inside Luke's.

"What's with Rory? I haven't seen her like that and she's been there for an hour…" Luke said instead of greeting

"why, hello Luke, good afternoon," Lorelai said

Luke shrugged, "hi,"

"well, you know, there are days when girls feel sad or depressed for no reason…"

Luke raised his eyebrows, "for no reason? Let me see…according to my sister Liz, I remembered her being like that because of her…um…"

"you mean time of the month?"

Luke blushed, he was embarrassed, "yeah…that…"

Lorelai giggled, "well, that's true, and it's really bullshit,"

"I don't blame you for cursing," he said, Lorelai smiled, "good," and then she looked out at the window to see how it's going.

Rory continued to stare and think whatever is going in her mind. She didn't feel Tristan presence since she was too occupied in mind. Tristan took a deep breath and sat beside her on the bench. That's when Rory felt his presence, without looking at him.

"Tristan," she said softly before turning her head to him

"Rory…" he said

Rory's lips were trembling that she was about to cry. She swung her arms around Tristan and hugged him so tight, afraid to let go.

Tristan was dumbfounded. He didn't know what to do since the girl of his dream was hugging him. It was like a dream to him and there were tingles. He first placed his hand at her back and then the other.

"Rory…?" he said when he heard her sniffling. Why is she crying? He wondered

"Rory…it's okay, I'm here…" he comforted her by rubbing her back gently. They stayed that way until Rory broke her embrace and wiped her face away.

"I'm sorry Tristan…" she said, not looking at him, "I shouldn't have done that…"

"it's alright Rory, I didn't mind at all,"

Rory shrugged, "I just feel so depressed Tristan…I just want to be happy…"

Depressed? Why are you depressed my sweet Mary?

"why are you depressed? It's okay if you don't want to talk about it,"

Rory only rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She felt the tingles through her body and it made her shiver. When Tristan felt her shiver, he rubbed her arms with his hands. Rory sighed but his touch made her feel better.

Lorelai smiled at the view of Tristan and her daughter at the Gazebo. Luke frowned when he saw Lorelai smiling and he followed her gaze. He saw what she saw but he doesn't the boy.

"Who's that boy?" Luke asked Lorelai

"that's Tristan, from her school," she replied, not removing her eyes away from the scene

"and you allow that? After Dean?" he asked

Lorelai looked at Luke, "Rory's blind to see that she loves Tristan…she's always in denial…and Tristan loves her too,"

Luke sighed and nodded, "so they are not yet together…"

"someday…before…" Lorelai paused and thought for a minute, she remembered something.

"Lorelai?"

"huh? Uh, sorry Luke…uh I gotta go and call someone," Lorelai said. Luke nodded and Lorelai left the diner.

"okay…" Luke frowned and watched Lorelai leave.

My god…why didn't I tell Chris? My god…he's Rory's father and I didn't even tell him…I better call him now.

Lorelai ran to the house and looked for the cordless but it was missing in the pile of clothes. She looked around and couldn't find it, she was frustrated and went to check her room, and she found the phone on the floor. She picked it up and called Christopher's number.

*Ring, ring*

"Hello?"

"Chris?"

"Lorelai?"

"yeah…"

"I'm surprised you called…I thought you would be mad at me forever…" Chris said

"I can't stay mad at you forever Chris…"

Chris took a deep breathe, "well I'm glad…so?"

"so?" Lorelai frowned

"I mean, you're calling me and something must be up, so?"

"oh Chris…I'm sorry…I just realized that I haven't told you. I should have told you before...or ages ago…"

"that you're in love with someone?"

"what? No,"

"then what is it? You're pregnant?"

"Chris, no I'm not pregnant okay? It's about Rory…"

Chris paused, "what about Rory? Is she okay?"

Lorelai didn't say anything. She knew Chris is going to get angry with her for not telling him earlier

"Chris, before I tell you, don't get mad at me because I didn't tell you before-"

"it depends on what you're going to tell Lorelai…"

"but promise me not to blame me or Rory, okay?"

"what is it Lorelai? I can't promise that I won't get mad…it depends on what you have not told me," Chris said.

Lorelai shrugged, "it's not easy for me Chris, it's not easy for me to tell you this…"

"is it really a bad news Lorelai?"

"you can say that Chris,"

"what is it Lorelai? I have a feeling that this might be worse than bad…"

"well, about Rory…uh she's….she's sick,"

"What do you mean she's sick?!"

"Chris…don't yell…" Lorelai flinched and pulled the phone away

"I cannot be calm Lorelai…and why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

"it is not easy!" Lorelai yelled at the receiver, "but you cannot blame me for not telling you Christopher. It is not easy and I had a hard time dealing with this. Rory didn't want to tell the news to anyone. Mom and Dad doesn't even know yet…no one knows except the both of us and now you know…I'm sorry Chris…but be thankful I told you know without Rory knowing…but I know it's unfair. If I were in her shoes, I won't want to tell anyone because I don't want anyone pitying or being so worried…I'm sorry Chris, you have the right to get mad and it's understandable,"

there was a long pause

"Chris? Are you there?"
