Hey guys, sorry for the delay, but my computer got hit with a virus because the storm knocked the power out. I'm trying to update as quickly as possible. Anyways, this is my last chapter for this fic. I hope you all enjoyed it. I may make a sequel later on. I'm glad you all enjoyed my first fanfic.

Chapter 7: Three months after Lexi's visit
It was Christmas Eve and I had recieved many Christmas cards. The one from Dean was brutal though, it was of him, Lindsey and the'r two beautiful daughters. He was happy, that much was sure. Mom, Luke and Lily was a nice one and my Dad, Sherri and Georgia was nice too. Lane, Dave and their daughter Christina was beautiful.
Things were tense between Tristan and I, ever since Lexi's visit. We had been avoiding each other as often as possible. I have never felt more alone in my life and tonight was brutal. This was also the three year anniversary with Jess, if we were still together.
I had recieved a letter from Jess lat week, letting me know that he was fine and back in California with his dad. He said he missed me and hoped that I was happy, but the truth was, I wasn't. I had all these feelings for Tristan that I didn't know what to do with and he could care less.
It was safe to say, Tristan had reverted back to his player days and rarely came home at night. He stumbled in early in the morning, only to shower and change clothes, then he was off to work. I was mostly in the apartment alone and that really sucked. I needed to get a social life, but I wasn't much of a clubber, even in college I prefered to stay home with a good book. Jess was the same way.
I had decorated the apartment by myself and it look beautiful, it was just missing that homely touch. I wasn't expecting Tristan home, so I had lit a fire in the fire place. I had placed a few presents under the tree for Tristan, not that he'd open them tomorrow morning anyways. Lily's presents were on the other side of the tree and Mom and Luke's were by the couch. None of the presents I saw were for me, but that was okay because Mom, Luke and Lily were coming here until tomorrow afternoon.
I was curled up on the couch in sweats and had a good book, when I looked out the window and saw snow. Delighted, I jumped off the couch and hurried to the window. Nothing said Christmas to me like snow on Christmas Eve. I loved snow, it was much nicer to look at than rain.
I was so busy staring outside at the snow I didn't hear the door open to the apartment. It was until I heard the rustle of presents being placed under the tree, that I jumped and turned around.
Tristan straightened and turned to face me. He had a soft smile on his face, which I hesitantly returned.

(the snow is falling, the city is white)

(your eyes are shining. like diamonds tonight)

(and we're all alone, there's no one home)

(you're finally in my arms again)

"Hey." He said, moving across the room to stand beside me at the window sill.
"Hey." I replied. "I didn't think you'd be home tonight."
"Yeah." He ran his hand through his blonde hair and winced. "I'm really sorry about that, Rory. I've been a complete ass lately. It's just that, things have been so tense between us lately and I finally figured out why."
"Why?" I repeated, moving my gaze to his.

(the night is silent and Christmas is here)

(I couldn't ask for more that heaven you're near)

(cause I love you girl, love you girl, I always will, always will)

(and now I know the moment is right, the moment is right)

"Rory, ever since Chilton I've been crazy about you. Not even military school and the many years apart could change that. Ever since Lexi visited, those feelings intensified and that scared me because I thought that what I already felt for you was the most I could ever feel for anyone." He looked out the window again. "These past three months have been brutal for me."
"Tristan, what are you tryng to say?" I think I had a pretty good idea, but I didn't want to get my hopes up.
"I love you, Rory Gilmore. I always have and always will. I need you to know that." He stared right into my eyes as he said it and I knew he wasn't lying.

(Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight)

(I'm down on my knees, there's no better time)

(It's something to last for as long as you live)

(tonight I'm gonna to give you, all my heart can give)

"You, love me?" I was flabbergasted, yet elated at the same time. He loves me, he really loves me.
"Yes Rory Gilmore, I love you, with ever beat of my heart. I know that's cliche, but it's true." He was looking nervous now.
"I love you too, Tristan. I love you too." I leapt into his arms, throwing him off guard.

(I thought I'd give you something shiny and new)

(I tried to find something worthy of you)

(But I realised, when I looked inside)

(there's some things that money can't buy)

He kissed me then. It was magical. His soft lips sucked on my lower lip, nipping gently at it from time to time, before her traced my lips with his tongue and I opened to grant him access. it was the most heartfelt kiss I had ever had.

(oh no, I feel the magic, whenever you're near)

(I feel it even more this time of the year)

(Cause I love you girl, love you girl, I always will, always will)

(and now I know the moment is right, the moment is right)

"I've got something for you. I wanted to give you, your Christmas present early." He said breathelessly, when we pulled apart.
He fished into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet jewlery box, with the words Kay Jewlers on the top. He flipped the lid to reveal a platnium band with a square cut diamond in the center, it had to be three karats.
"Rory Gilmore, love of my life," He sank onto one knee. "Will you marry me?"

(Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight)

(I'm down on my knees, there's no better time)

(It's something to last for as long as you live)

(tonight I'm gonna give you, all my heart can give)

"Yes!" I sank to my own kees and flung my arms around his neck, lwtting tears of happiness pour down my face. He stood, pulling us both up and swung me around in small circles, laughing happily.

(You know I'll always be true to you)

(and you know I'm the one you can turn to)

(Oh oh yeah, anytime, anyplace, or anywhere)

(you know that I'll always be there, oh baby)

He placed the ring on my finger and gave me a quick kiss, before pulling me into a tight. I stared at my hand over his shoulder. Who knows, maybe next year, we'll be the ones handing out Christmas cards.

(Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight)

(I'm down on my knees, there's no better time)

(It's something to last for as long as you live)

(tonight I'm gonna give you, all my heart can give)
