*A/N: Hey guys! Here is the new chapter and yes Tristan is here but I have to say, not much. Sorry about that but later on, maybe one whole chapter just the two of them. By the way, after updating this chapter, I won't be able to update for awhile cuz I was sick for few days and missed few days of school so I need to use my spare time to complete my schoolwork and when I'm done (god knows when) I'll start working on the next chapter. I won't take long since you guys don't like me taking me so long to update (is that right? hehe). Anyways here you go and don't forget to review! God Bless! - Nina*

"Aww…poor coffee…" Rory mumbled as she glanced at the shattered mug and the spilled coffee on the floor

"mom…?" Rory looked up at her mom who was not moving at all earlier suddenly blinked her eyelids many times and pinched her arm

"ow! That hurts," she winced

Rory chuckled, "you're not dreaming," she said with a sad smile

Lorelai shook her head, "I think something is playing with my eyes or brain or whatever…I think it's the coffee…or the coffee on the plane…or maybe I'm actually dreaming where a real painful pinch really exists so I won't ever wake up again or…maybe you look like someone else but is not really my daughter-"

"mom!" she interrupted her, "breathe,"

Lorelai breathed in and out

"you're really my daughter aren't you?" Lorelai asked, hesitating at first

"yes I am," Rory said

"Rory's twin sister?" she said

Rory rolled her eyes and turned to Jess, Lane, Luke and Paris for help

"Lorelai, did you ever give birth to twins before?" Luke asked her

she shook her head

"then no, she's not Rory's twin sister, she is Rory, your only daughter," Luke said

Lorelai frowned and turned to Rory, "you're really really really really my daughter Rory who was deceased a year and a half ago?"

"she's not deceased, how could she be deceased when she's standing right in front of you?" Rory said

"good question…maybe…you're an alien?" Lorelai raised her eyebrows

Rory groaned, "mommy!" she whined, "fine, you have no daughter, she's dead, she's buried underground, she's not around, she's not there to watch Willy Wonka with you anymore, she's not going to Harvard anymore, she's gone, she's deceased-"

"hush you!" Lorelai said

Rory frowned

"are you really RORY?" Lorelai asked

Rory sighed, "yes,"

"birth date?"

"October 8, 1984,"

"dad?"

"Christopher,"

"evil grandparents?"

Lane, Paris, Luke and Jess smirked at Lorelai

"Emily and Richard, what else?" Rory rolled her eyes

"last one, the love of your life?"

Rory frowned, "coffee?"

the love of your life? She thought

Lorelai gasped and squealed, "aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!"

Everyone flinched and covered their ears quickly and Lorelai jumped up and down and hugged Rory so tight

"oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" she said as she hugged Rory and Rory was laughing

"oh my god…my baby is home…" Lorelai said as tears formed in her eyes. Rory too had tears in her eyes and she hugged her mom back, not wanting to let go

Lane, Paris, Jess and Luke exchange smiles as they watched the two and few minutes, Ms. Patty came into the diner and she fainted.

"what's with Ms. Patty?" Jess asked

"leave her like for awhile, you won't want her bugging us for a while, so enjoy the time while she's out," Luke said

"that was mean of you Luke," Lane said

"oh well," he shrugged

"so the next thing, everyone in town will hear about this?" Paris said

Jess nodded his head and wrapped his arms around her waist, "glad to have her back," he whispered and kissed her on the cheek

She nodded her head in agreement, "glad to have you back too baby," she gave him a slight kiss on the lips before turning to the two hugging Gilmores

"you need a lot of explaining to do," Lorelai said as she pulled back with wet eyes

Rory chuckled and nodded, "yeah I guess so," she smiled

Lorelai smiled and soothed her daughter's short brown hair, "I miss you so much Rory…you're never ever going away again,"

"I miss you too mom,"

Lorelai nodded and they hugged each other again.

"Lorelai?"

Lorelai turned around, "hey Chris," she smiled widely

"is…is it true?"

Lorelai smiled, "yes, she's here," Lorelai smiled at Rory and she turned to her dad, "hey dad," Rory said, getting up from her seat, walked over to her dad and hugged him

Christopher was shocked. When the news spread and he heard it from Babette, he didn't want to believe at first until he sees it himself that is true and he prove it that it was true. His child is still alive

"Rory…" Chris' voice started to quiver and he hugged his daughter back and kissed her on the forehead

"oh my god…I think I'm gonna cry again," Lorelai fanned her eyes with her hands

"hehe, oh hey…where's little Brad?" Jess asked

Lorelai frowned and looked at Chris, who was still hugging Rory, Brad wasn't with him

"I'm gonna go home and come back, I think he heard the news and didn't think of him…bad…" Lorelai said, getting up and left the diner unnoticed by Chris and Rory

"you're here…oh my god…you're never ever getting away again my offspring," Chris told her

"I promise dad," Rory smiled and they both went to the table where Paris, Lane and Jess were seated

"where did mom go?" she asked

"oh, she went to get something," Jess smiled

"I'm back!" Rory heard her mom and turned to see her and was shocked to see something fragile in her arms

"whoa…mom?" Rory asked, Lorelai smiled

"this is your baby brother Brad," she said

Rory's eyes widened in surprise, "brother? That means…aaaahhhh!!!! You guys married!" she screamed with joy

"yes we did," Lorelai laughed

"wow…hey Brad…can I carry him?" she asked

"sure," Lorelai handed her and Rory carried Brad in her arms, "aww…you're so cute,"

Lorelai and Chris smiled at each other, now they're a perfect family.

Tristan stared up on the ceiling from his bed and listened to the clock tick. He let out a sigh and reached for the remote of his stereo and pressed play.

Time…
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life…

Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognize the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you…

Tristan listened to the song, it was a song sang by Stephen Bishop. He has been listening to senti music when he felt like it. Returning to Hartford brought him more memories of her. He couldn't block it away not after seeing a girl who looks like her a few days ago in Bridgeport.

"What if I go back and ask her?" he asked himself

'stupid idea you've got there' a voice told him in his head

"yeah…I guess it's a stupid idea…" Tristan shrugged

"Tristan? Are you in there?" there was a knock on his door

"yeah," he replied and his mom came into his room

"hey son," she greeted him with a slight kiss on his forehead

"hey mom," he said

"it's nice to have you home for summer, how was Harvard?" she asked

"good,"

she nodded her head, "by the way, I came to tell you that Richard and Emily invited us for dinner tomorrow,"

"uh…"

"it's okay if you don't want to come," his mom said

he shook his head, "no, I'll go. There's nothing to do so…I'll go,"

Wilma smiled, "alright, so why don't we go downstairs and have dinner together? And we have a lot of catching up to do dear," she said

Tristan smiled at his mom, he missed him mom while he was away during college

"sure," he said and they both went down for dinner.

The next day, Tristan and his parents arrived early at the Gilmore residence and they headed to the living room. Tristan doubted that they're waiting for someone else. And he also doubted that Lorelai is not coming but he hope that she might come and see how she's been. Tristan sat there listening to his parents' conversation and then heard the doorbell.

"oh, they're finally here…and again, they're late," Emily shrugged and the maid went to answer the door

"hi mom! Sorry we're late, but you'll really going to forgive us this time," Lorelai came in, carrying a baby in her arms

"oh really?" Emily raised her brows

"oh, what a cute baby," his mom said

"hello Wilma, Fred and Tristan," Lorelai greeted, "this is Brad, my newborn child," she said

"ah! Can I hold him Lorelai?" Wilma asked

"sure," Lorelai handed Brad to her and Wilma played with her son,

"isn't he cute Tristan?" Wilma asked him when she showed Brad to him

Tristan smiled, "yeah he's cute," he said as he look into the baby's blue eyes just like Rory's.

"Where's Chris?" Richard asked

Lorelai frowned and looked behind, "ah gees…I'll go get them,"

"them?" Emily frowned, "did you bring a guest without telling me?"

"hey guys! What's taking you so long?" Lorelai called

"Lorelai, it's rude to shout," Emily said in an annoyed tone, Lorelai smiled and Chris came inside

"sorry about that mother," Chris said, addressing Emily and gave her a kiss on the cheek and greeted the Dugreys. Tristan shrugged. He was bored.

"Where the heck is she? What's taking her so long?" Lorelai asked Chris

Chris rolled his eyes and went to the door

"who?" Emily asked Lorelai

"you'll find out in a while," she said, she loved keeping her mom in suspense and then turned to Tristan

"hey Tristan, how was Harvard?" she asked

"it was good," he replied, she nodded her head and turned her head when Chris came back

"here she is," he said

Tristan tilted his head when a girl dressed up in a red dress came into the living room.

"Mom, dad, this," Lorelai put her arms around the girl, "is Rory,"

His eyes widened and a word couldn't escape from his mouth.
