*******Tristan's POV****** ::The Next Morning::

I awoke early and smiled when I saw Rory cuddled up against me, my arms around her waist. Slowly I tried to pry her from my arms, Rory just made some cute little noice nd burrowed into my chest. Chuckling silently I attempted it once more. She mumbled, "Stop. Early. Sleep. Ba-ad Twistan." At this I laughed out loud. Abd kissed her head. "Angel, I need you to let go of me." She tightened her grip. "ror, I promise I'll cuddle with you when I get back, but I need to use the bathroom." "Hurry," she mumbled before snuggling into the stop I just vacated. I chuckled a little and entered the bathroom. I washed up a little before returning to bed. I stopped in my tracks. Rory was snuggled into my pillow, the white silk sheets and blankets swirling around her. She looked like an angel. She looked like she belonged there. "Get your ass over here before I revoke all cuddling rights for the rest of the trip," she spoke softly. "Yes dear," I scooted towards the bed and crawled in. Immediately Rory cuddled into me and my arms went around her. I kissed the top of her head and inhaled the scent that was Rory. "I love you more than words my angel," I breathed. "Mm, I love you Tristan," she spoke in a sleep coated voice. "But this Gilmore needs sleep." "I prefer to think of you as a future DuGrey," I chuckled. "Sleep Bibleboy." "Yes Ma'am." And I closed my eyes.

*************************

A short time later I awoke in Tristan's arms, a feeling I could never get tired of. He looked so sweet when he slept. He'd changed so much. Going from a spoiled, cold, and uncaring boy to the sweet, loving man he was becomming. I couldn't help but be proud of all he'd overcome. Gently I pulled out of his grasp and pulled on my fluffy yellow bathrobe. As I put it on I remembered when Tristan had given it to me. It was lined with silk and on the back was an embroidered picture of a duck. On the left lapel it was monogrammed Ducky. He'd called me that once and it sprouted a lengthy debate between us. The robe came as a little joke the next day. Yawning I softly padded into the kitchen, my toes sinking into the soft carpet. After locating the cofee I started the perculator and went hunting for a mug. Ten minutes later I had a steaming cup of coffee and was curled up on a large window seat overlooking the Eiffle Tower.Small streams of early morning light trickled in, the view was amazing. Not long after I heard a small scuffle behind me and felt Tristan's arms wrap around me. He rested his head on my shoulder, "Beautiful isn't it?" I asked him. "Mm, almost as much as you." As we looked over the city of love, bathed in gold and pink hues of dawn I sighed. This was what I wanted. "Tristan?" "Yea?" "Promise me that we'll have this." "What sweetie?" "Us, together, the calm and beauty, and contentment. Promise me we'll have more morning like this." "Anything for you."

****No One's POV*****

The rest of the trip flew by too fast for the couple. Tristan would indulge both Rory and himself by spoling her silly. Box seats at the opera, carriage rides, fron row seats to the best ballets, excessive shopping, etc. All too soon they were in a cab on their way to the airport. (A/N sorry, just couldn't draw out the trip any longer..but look!) Rory sighed a little and leaned further back into Tristan. "We'll come back, won't we Tristan?" "As often as prossible Mary." She nodded happily. "Rory?" "Hmm?" "Move in with me?" She sat straight up and twisted to face him, "What?!" "Move in with me, after grduation. I can get us an apartment in either Stars Hollow or Hartford. Then we'll have three or four months together before we leave for Harvard. And when we get there we can get an off campus apartment, or something. I just.now that I've gotten a taste of what it's like to be with you all the time, and I love you so much I don't know how I'll live without you there, even for just the last few weeks of Chilton. The past week I lived in nothing but your love, and I can't just go back to that cold, empty house, without knowing that I tried. But baby, if you don't want to then tell me. I don't want you pressured, or doing anything you aren't ready for, or you don't want. Just tell me if you don't want this." Rory just stared at him shocked. It was like when Dean had said he loved her the first time. Everything was great, and then Wham! It hits you. Wow. ******************** O-kay Party people. Tune in next week. What will she say? LOL, no, I'm not that mean. It'd piss me off if someone left it there, so I won't. see how much you love me?

******Rory's POV*****

Oh. My. God. Tristan just asked me to move in with him. He was ooking at me with those hopeful eyes. I didn't know what to do. Speaking slowly I looked him straight in the eyes, "Tristan. I love you. More than anything in this world. But I'm not sure. That's a really big decision and I need to think about it. Give me some time?" He nodded and smiled, "As much as you need angel. I love you." Tristan kissed my cheek and we fell into a thoughtfull silence. Okay, whose boyfriend is as great as mine, no one! Now, what should I do?

*****Two Days Later******* No One's POV

Lorelei walked into Rory's room going off about the evils of salad when she saw Rory looking out the window and looking to be in deep concentration. Sitting next to her on the bed she put a comforting arm around her daughter, "Deep thoughts babe?" "Tristan asked me to move in with him, before and during Harvard." Not surprised Lorelei smiled, "I know." Puzzled Rory looked at her mother, "How?" "Evil One wanted to make sure that if you wanted to it would be okay with me. So when he asked about Paris, he also asked about that. The two sort of go hand in hand. He really wanted you to say yes and he wanted to see you happy so he figured if you two went 24/7 for a week and enjoyed it you might handle living together. "Wow. He planned all that out?" "Yup." :And you're okay with this?" Rory asked amazed. Lorelei shrugged, "I'm okay because I trust you, I know we both trust him, you two love each other, the list goes on and on. Not to mention when I was your age I had a two year old. You're going to Harvard, as is he. You're dreams are coming true. I want you to be happy, I love you." Rory hugged her tightly, "I love you too. You're the best mum ever." "I know. So have you made up your mind?" "Yup. I need to call Tristan." "Atta girl Ror." Lorelei stood, "Love ya kid. I'm gonna go tell Lukey we'll have an extra room soon." Winking she headed off to the diner and Rory smiled picking up the phone. "Tris? Hey, do you think you can come over? I wanna talk to you.

Aww! Isn't that sweet? Okay, be honest, how much do you love me right now? We-ell, review and tell me! Thanx kiddos! Keep 'em commin. I should have the next chappy up soon. Lemme know if you want it! (
