Richard and Emily's Secret

Recap: Without wait for a reaction from Emily, Yvonne walked back into the diner. As the diner door closed a young man walked up to Emily.

"Where were you five minutes ago?" Emily asked.

The young man smiled at Emily. "I'm sorry I'm late but I was at work."

Emily sighed. "I'm sorry. Let's go inside." She says leading him through to diner door.

Once they are inside D.J., who is now eating his pancakes and sitting next to Lorelai, sees Emily and the young man and his whole face lights up.

"Uncle Tristan!" he yells as he runs towards Tristan.

Tristan picks D.J. up and hugs him tightly.

"Hey buddy! I've missed you." He looks toward the table where Yvonne, Lorelai, Dean and Luke are still sitting.

Yvonne stood and walked toward Tristan and her mother. "Hey Tristan, what are you doing here?" looking at Emily, knowing she had something to do with this.

"I came to see you and this little guy." He says tickling D.J.

Dean stood up and started walking towards the door. Yvonne saw him and went after him.

"Dean, where are you going?" she asked stepping out on to the sidewalk.

Turning around to face Yvonne. "I'm getting away from that guy before I kill him." He shouts angrily. Yvonne looks at Dean with a very confused look.

"I know what happened between you two once I left Chicago." He turns and starts to walk away again.

"Dean.I don't-" Before Yvonne could finish Dean walked back to her.

"Don't lie to me! You slept with him right after I left." He yelled. "I mean I was barely gone a month and jumped into bed with the one person in this world I thought was my best friend." Dean walked away leaving Yvonne stunned.

Lorelai watched the scene from inside the diner and decided the she need to know what happened in Chicago, once and for all.

Later that night Yvonne was sitting at Richard's bedside as he slept. Yvonne couldn't get what Dean said out of her head. You slept with him! Dean's echoing in her head. She wasn't denying that she did but how did he know? Yvonne was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Richard was now awake.

"Yvonne?" he called her name again.

Yvonne finally came out of her daze. "Hi daddy."

Richard looked at the clock on his bedside table. "What are you doing here so late? You should be at home with your adorable son." He says smiling.

Yvonne smiled at the mention of D.J. "He's asleep and I wanted to spend sometime with you." Taking his hand in hers. "Just the two of us."

Richard watched his youngest daughter for a moment her knew something was wrong. He knew she was there to talk and that was something he loved about their relationship. No matter what it was the Yvonne needed to talk about she always was able to talk to him. It was something he wished he could have had with Lorelai as she was growing up.

"So are you going to tell me what's on you mind?" Squeezing her hand slightly.

Sighing loudly Yvonne told Richard about bumping into Dean and how all of a sudden Tristan showed up.

Lorelai was walking down the hall to her fathers room when she heard voices coming from inside. Lorelai stopped at the partly opened door and listened to her father and sister talking.

"So you think your mother had something to do with Tristan being there?" he asked slightly upset that Emily would do something like that.

Yvonne shrugged but didn't say anything.

"You still care for Dean don't you?"

Yvonne looked at her hands as she responded. "I don't think I ever stopped caring."

Richard knew his next question wasn't one Yvonne would want to deal with but he knew it needed to be asked. "What about Tristan?"
