The next morning Tristin and Rory got into her car mentally preparing themselves for what was about to come, at that same moment Lorelai, Christopher, and Grant and Ava Dugrey were arriving at Emily and Richard Gilmore's mansion. They had all received telegrams telling them to meet their children there at 10:00 am. "Do you have any idea what this is all about?" asked Grant Dugrey.

"I'm as much in the dark about this as you all are." Replied Lorelai.

"I wasn't aware even aware our children even knew each other." Ava Dugrey said.

"This is just like Tristin to do something like this when he called to ask me to allow him to come home for spring break I had my doubts, but no Ava you had to come to his defense and convince me to let him come home."

"Grant relax, we don't even know what these kids are going to tell us." Ava said

"Well all I know is that you don't send a telegram for nothing." Grant practically yelled. Through all this Lorelai sat quietly on the couch praying that she was worrying over nothing, but she had been frantic for two days now, ever since she came home to find a note from Rory telling her she needed to get away for a couple of days. She trusted her daughter and knew that she would never do anything stupid, she just wished she wasn't in the dark about what was going on. Just then the doorbell rang, Rory and Tristin stood outside waiting for the maid to let them in. "Are you okay?" Tristin asked.

"I'm nauseous, we've done stuff behind their backs before but this is life changing."

"Yes, But this is our lives not theirs, they are just going to have to accept it."

"Have you met our parents?"

"Everything is going to be fine."

"I hope so." Rory and Tristin entered the living room and looked around at all the people who did not look very happy.

"There they are" said Emily "Now sit and tell us what this is all about?"

"Alright Tristin what have you done now?" Grant asked.

"There something we need to tell you." Tristin said.

"Well don't dance around it just spit it out." Lorelai said. Rory took a deep breath and spit it out very quickly.

"TristinandIwenttolasvegasandgotmarried!"

"Oh Dear" Mrs. Dugrey said. That's when Lorelai noticed the huge rock and slim wedding band on her daughter's finger.

"Tristin would you care to explain this?" yelled Grant Dugrey.

"How slow do you need want me to go dad?" Rory chuckled at this.

"Do you find this funny you little slut."

"Oh dear" gasped Ava Dugrey

"Grant" yelled Emily and Richard Gilmore. Tristin was enraged, he flew out of his chair "Don't you ever say anything like that to my wife again, Do you understand me?" yelled Tristin "Lets get out of here" he said as he took Rory's hand and they made their hasty exit.

"Oh dear" was all Ava Dugrey could say. Outside in the car Rory and Tristin were deciding where to go to next. "If I know my mother she'll go looking for me at the house, so lets head over to Stars Hallow."

Back in side the mansion "Well Grant you handled that well" stated Lorelai.

"Well if your daughter wasn't such a slut we wouldn't be in this predicament, would we?" Lorelai was beyond pissed; with a single right cross she flattened Grant Dugrey. Lorelai grabbed Christopher and walked out the door. "If I know my daughter she is on her way home."

"I don't think you know her at all Lorelai or else she wouldn't be 18 and married to some guy we don't even know."

"Oh don't give me that crap Christopher where have you been for the last 18 years, you haven't worried that every decision you make is going to shape the person they are going to become. You wouldn't know any of that because you were off doing whatever the hell you wanted to do and coming around only when you remembered you had a daughter." They rode the rest of the way in silence both contemplating what they were going to do. When they pulled up to the house they saw Rory's car parked in the driveway, and then they saw Rory and Tristin sitting on the porch swing. Lorelai and Chris walked up to the porch Rory and Tristin stood up and Rory opened her mouth to say something only to be silenced by Lorelai "I don't want to hear a word come out of your mouth, get inside its my turn to talk." Rory and Tristin walked inside and sat down on the couch Lorelai and Christopher stood by the fireplace. "Let me tell you how this is going to work, you are going to listen and I am going to talk any questions?" neither one of them said anything "Good, let me begin by saying that first thing tomorrow morning we are going to figure out a way to get this marriage annulled, next you" she points to Tristin "are never going to see my daughter again, if you attempt to contact her I will make sure they never find your body again, Do I make myself clear?" she looked at her daughter and her heart broke her daughter had tears streaming down her face, but what scared her the most was the look in her daughters eyes it was a look that she had never seen before and a look she couldn't explain. They're eyes locked the same blue eyes but this time they're was only hurt and disappoint in them and then in a voice that Lorelai could barely make out Rory said "No"

"Excuse me?"

"I said no mom, I'm sorry that I hurt and disappoint you that was never my intention, but I knew if I told you, you would try to stop me and I couldn't let you do that. Mom, Tristin and I would really love your support, but if we don't get it it's not going to make a difference. We know that road we have chosen is difficult but you chose a road that was difficult and look how well that turned out."

"Did it Rory because right now I'm not thinking its turned out all right. I cant begin to tell you how hurt I am, I have worked my ass off to get you away from the life I came from and you go and through that all in my face and marry the poster boy of Hartford society, but that's not what hurts the most, what hurts the most is that after everything that I've sacrificed for you, you go off and get married without so much of a word. Rory I deserved to see my only child get married I earned that right and you took that all away without a second thought. So I'm sorry Rory but I cannot and will not support this marriage and I will not feel guilty about it, for gods sake you two haven't even graduated from high school yet."

Tristin stood up and looked at Lorelai and Christopher "Ms. Gilmore, I know you have every right to feel the way you do but I promise you that I will not let Rory give up on any of her dreams, she will still graduate and go to Harvard and anything else she wants to do. I love your daughter more than anything and I would do anything for her."

"If you really mean that Tristin than walk away right now, I have worked to hard to have Rory end up with someone like you." It was like a slap in the face to hear those words come out of Lorelai's mouth he expected his parents to react the way they did, but from the way Rory described her mother he expected her support and deep down he knew Rory did too. "I'm sorry Lorelai I cant do that, I promised Rory that I would never leave her and I'm not about to break that I promise."

"Rory you have a choice you can stay here and I will fix things or you can stay in this marriage, but you wont have my help."

"I'm sorry mom"

"I know you are Rory"

"No mom, listen I'm sorry I love Tristin and I'm going to stay married." With that Lorelai turned and walked up the stairs. Rory looked at Christopher who walked over to her and hugged her "You have my support kiddo." He then shook the hand of the man who so obviously loved his daughter "If Rory doesn't accomplish all her dreams I'm coming after you."

"Yes sir."

"Call me Christopher after all we are family now, don't worry sweetie I'll talk to your mom she'll come around."

"Thanks Dad, I'm going to go pack now." Just then Rory's cell phone started to ring "Hello"

"Rory dear it's your grandmother we need to talk."

"We tried that it didn't work."

"No, I believe we watched Grant Dugrey make an ass out of himself, why don't you and Tristin come by in about a hour then the four of us can talk and I promise no name calling."

"That sounds good, I'll tell Tristin and we'll see you in about an hour." Rory hung up and turned to Tristin "We've been summoned."

"Do you feel up to it?"

"I'd rather face everyone today then to prolong it, besides they promised no name calling. Come on help me pack we'll get out of here faster."

"Rory are you going to be okay, I know how hard it must be for you to be packing up your room." Rory wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest and started to cry. "Baby don't cry please, I'm sure your mom will come around please don't cry."

"You suck at this girl crying stuff you know that right."

"Yeah, I promise I'll try to get better."

"Lets just pack my clothes I'll come back and get the rest of my stuff once we figure out where we are going to stay." Half an hour later they were on their way back to the Gilmore Estate when they got there they were surprised to see Ava Dugrey there. Tristin and Rory sat once again on the couch. Rory looked up at both her grandparents and noticed there was no anger in their eyes only concern. Emily was the first to speak "What we want to know is why the two of you felt that you had to run off." Rory grabbed Tristin hand and squeezed tightly "we felt it was better this way." Ava Dugrey got up off the couch and went to hug Tristin and then she hugged Rory.

"Tristin believe it or not I understand why you felt you had to do this, and I want you both to know I'm going to do whatever I can to help the both of you out, starting with re-enrolling you into Chilton. I'm also going to release the trust fund your grandparents left you that should be more than enough for the two of you to be living off hell your children could live off of that. Now where do you two plan on staying?" She asked

"Well we haven't really thought that far ahead mom."

"Well I insist you two stay in our guest house, until you find somewhere suitable to live." Richard Said.

"Grandpa we couldn't."

"Nonsense we insist, please stay and take your time looking for a place for yourselves."

"Well thank you Mr. Gilmore, Thanks to all of you we appreciate your support more than you know."

"Well I better get going, your fathers probably trying to find away to send you back to military school as we speak. Rory welcome to the family I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into. Tristin walk your mother to her car." With that they both walked out the door. "Tristin I want you to go talk to your father, believe it or not your father loves you and he only does these things because he wants only the best for you, so promise me you'll talk to him."

"Mom, I'll try to talk to him but we both know it won't change anything."

"Thank you sweetheart, Tristin I love you and I only want you to be happy."

"Thank mom. I love you too." Tristin walked back into the Gilmore mansion and saw his beautiful wife chatting and laughing with her grandparents and knew that things were going to work out for them. Just then she turned and saw him so did Emily and Richard. "Okay you two let me show you the guest house I'm sure it's going to take you the rest of the day to get settled." Emily led the two outside to the guesthouse that in Rory's opinion was just as big as her own home. She led them to the front door and handed them the key "If you need anything just call, I'll talk to you two later." With that she turned around and walked away.

"Shall we?" asked Tristin

"We Shall" Rory Responded Tristin put the key in the lock and turned the handle he opened the door and then turned around and picked up Rory in one swift movement "Tristin, what are you doing." Rory squealed.

"I figured that we've basically turned our back on all other wedding traditions we should at least participate in one, so I'm picking this one I'm carrying my bride over the threshold." He carried her over the threshold and then tossed her on the couch he leaned in to kiss her it was a deep passionate kiss after a couple of minutes he pulled away "Rory as much as I hate to put a stop to this, I think I should go home and get my stuff together and then you and I have a lot to talk about."

"Okay I love you, be careful and please don't fight with your dad."

"I won't fight with my dad, but I did promise my mom I would talk to him so I'm going to keep my promise. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Tristin walked into his house it had been almost two years since he had been home but then again this had never really been home to him. He hoped his father had gone back to the office because he needed a little more time to figure out what he was going to say to him. Tristin didn't understand his father he knew his father loved him he just couldn't relate to him. He and his father had been close at one time he remembered those times well, even if his father didn't. He walked upstairs and walked into his room, he was surprised to see his father sitting on his bed holding a picture of him and Tristin at a baseball game when he was about five. It looked like his dad had been crying but that was impossible because Grant Dugrey never cried. "Dad" Grant turned around startled to see his son standing in the doorway. "What are you doing in my room?"

"Oh I just thought I'd look around, come sit down, Tristin we need to talk."

"Dad I don't want to fight with you anymore I know what you think of me you've mad that perfectly clear over the years. I'm just here to get my stuff and go."

"No, you see Tristin you don't know how I feel please just sit down." Tristin sat down next to his father "Do you remember when this picture was taken?"

"Vaguely"

"Well I remember it like it was yesterday, because it was the best day of my life." Grant said tears welling up in his eyes.

"Dad"

"Tristin let me finish I know I haven't been the perfect dad, that I was away a lot and that when I was home I practically ignored you, that when things got to difficult instead of asking why you where doing these things, and tried to help you out I shipped you off to be someone else's problem. But you have to understand Tristin is that through it all you and your mother are the most important people in my life. I don't show you how much I love you because I think that everything I do is supposed to show that. I was wrong, I was wrong about a lot of things I just hope you can forgive me and we can try to mend our relationship because I really want to be a part of your life Tristin. Whatever you decide to with your life I'll support your decision starting with this marriage." Tristin was so overwhelmed he couldn't speak so he did the only thing he could do he hugged his father.

Back at the Gilmore guesthouse the first thing Rory did was explore the home she and Tristin would be living in for the time being. It was absolutely beautiful 4 bedrooms including the master bedroom a cute kitchen a living room with a fireplace 3 bathrooms and a den. She noticed that her grandmother had stocked the refrigerator and had placed fresh flowers all around the house she then went to unpack when she was all done with that she debated on whether or not to call her mom and let her now where she was staying, she decided against it. She looked down at her left hand and stared at the rings on her finger it all felt so foreign to her. She called her grandmother and asked her if it was all right to borrow her car. Half an hour later she was on her way back to Stars Hallow. She knew she had to tell Jess before her mother got a chance to. She walked into Luke's and saw Jess cleaning off the counter as soon as he saw her he smiled; well at least she knew that Lorelai hadn't told him.

"Hey babe, where have you've been I've been worried sick about you."

"Jess do you have a minute we need to talk."

"Rory your kinda scaring me here why don't you just tell me what's going on?"

"Okay let's sit down." They sat down at a table "Jess do you remember me telling you about a guy that made my life hell my first year at Chilton."

"Yeah"

"Well remember I told you he broke into a safe and got sent to military school."

"Rory, I remember but what does this have to do with us, what is he back?"

"Jess please just listen I'm trying to explain it all. Right about the time we began dating I began to feel like there was something was missing and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Then one night I'm going through my Chilton yearbook and there it is a picture of Tristin so I began to think that maybe what is missing is closure, we had a complicated history that I don't really want to get into, anyways I decided to write him a letter thinking he wont even remember me, but I was wrong he knew exactly who I was. We started writing back and forth to each other and then emailing each other and finally we started talking on the phone. We talked about anything and everything, things I couldn't talk to about with anyone else I could with him. Then one day on my way back home from school it hit me he was the part that was missing."

"Rory I don't want to hear anymore I get it you want to break up with me to be with the rich kid until you get bored with him and move on to your next victim." Jess stood to get up and Rory placed her hand on his arm to get him to sit back down, that's when he saw the ring "Jesus Ror, your engaged to this guy?"

"No Jess, I'm married to this guy that's what I'm trying to tell you. Tristin and I flew to Vegas and got married yesterday. It was the only way I could think of to get his parents to let him come home.

"You know I never pegged you for the stupid kind." Jess said and walked away. Rory banged her head against the table twice and then got up to leave, that's when she almost ran into Lorelai. "Oh sorry mom I didn't see you there."

"What are you doing here I thought you'd be on your honeymoon by now? Where's prince charming don't tell me he left already? You know how fickle the elite can be." Rory just started to walk by but was stopped once again by her mother. "Where are you staying?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because you're my daughter and I'd like to know where you're staying?"

"Could have fooled me" with that Rory walked out the door and drove back to Hartford.
