Rory and Dean broke up, she's going out with Jess, and the kiss at the piano did happen. Everything more or less happened, and Luke and Lorelai are married with a seven year old girl, Stephanie, and a five year old boy, Daniel.

Summary: Some secrets are better off kept, some you should tell. Bad summary. Trory.

Disclaimer: I only own this story, my imagination, and the people you don't recognize. I wish I owned Chad though. :)

BECCA: You'll see...not saying yes, not saying no. ;)

Thanks everyone else for reviewing!

enjoy!

'Rory ready to go?' Tristan called as he brought Rory's travel bag to the door. Rory came out of her room in a skirt and a long sleeve top.

'Yup.' Tristan picked up both of their bags and left. They left a note for Jake saying that the had left already and would call when they got their. They took the subway to Penn Station and got onto the Amtrak train to Harford. They slept on the way over and woke up ten minutes before the train arrived.

They took a cab to Tristan's house and were greeted by a dog.

'Hey Dixie.' Tristan said hugging the excited poodle. 'Come here Rory, she wont bite you.' Rory walked slowly to the dog. The dog went to her an sniffed her and then back to Tristan.

'I didn't know you had a dog!.'

'Yea, she's old. My mom probably let her out, she's not usually out.

'Oh, can we go in it's cold.'

'And you have some weird suspision that you're mom will see you?'

'That too, but come on!' She said. They too hands and Tristan opened the door. The heard Jackie yelling.

'Carrie!! You put the STUFFING in the turkey!!'

'But you can put it on the side too.'

'Fine then put it on the side, but DON'T put the cranberry sauce in the turkey.' Rory and Tristan cringed at the thought. Jackie walked out of the kitchen mumbling obscenities when she saw Rory and Tristan. She screeched and ran to the two hugging them both tightly.

'Hey Tristan!! Hey Rory!! So how's New york?'

'Good. How's my mom?'

'Gone crazy again!'

'And CeCe, Jordan and Alex?'

'Upstairs, although Alex is taking a nap, but Jordan is playing video games, and CeCe is making out with her boyfriend.'

'What?'

'Relax, she wont let him in her pants.'

'Okay....'

'Oh and your dad came home two days ago, but left yesterday. He says hi.'

'Great.' He muttered sarcastically. A teenage girl and a boy her age came down the stairs. The girl saw Tristan and ran quickly.

'Hey bro!!' she said hugging him.

'Hey cece, so whos your friend?'

'Oh, Tristan this is Gavin, gavin this is my older brother Tristan with a girl I don't know.'

'Oh, Rory this is my younger sister, CeCe, and this is Rory. She's my girlfriend. Are Gavin and you a couple?'

'Hypocrite!! You had a girlfriend before twelve!!'

'Your right, but I was just asking cece, not telling you were wrong.'

'Oh sorry.'

'It's okay.'

'We're gonna go help mom. Nice meeting you Rory.' CeCe said before going with her friend to the kitchen.

'Okay, whats with her?' Tristan asked Jackie.

'She had a something intense, well womanly happen to her.'

'What?'

'Rory do you understand?'

'Yea, and tell her I say congratulations since I don't wanna scare her.'

'You wont but I will.' Jackie said laughing at Tristan's face. He was obviously thinking about his sister.

'You idiot! She's PMSing! She got her monthly cycle!'

'Oh, OHH!!' Tristan said feeling like a complete idiot.

'Yea, smart.' Rory said shaking her head.

'So Boyfriend, girlfriend?'

'Yup.'

'When did this happen?'

'About a month ago.'

'Well I'm happy for you both!! Come on, you must be hungry.'

'yea, we haven't eaten since five o clock this morning.'

'yes, that was dumb.'

'We know, so Jackie, what's up with you? Still with Nate?'

'Still with Nate, and I'm looking for jobs right now. Oh and New Yokr looks like a definite possibility!'

'It would be nice if you came.'

'Yea, but I have to get a job first!' she laughed. The other two smiled and Tristan picked up his younger sister who ran into his leg.

'hey Lex!'' he gave her a kiss on her cheek.

'Twistan!! You are home!' the little girl shouted.

'Yup, but I'm going back in a few days.'

'Okay!' she said not caring what he just said. He put her down and bent down to say hi to his 7 year old brother, Jordan.

'Hey buddy!' Tristan said.

'Hey dude!'

'Sup?'

'nothing.' The little boy said running after his younger sister.

'I'm gonna go help your hopeless mother somemore.' Jackie said before leaving Rory and Tristan alone.

'Why didn't you tell me you had younger siblings.'

'Never came up?'

'Sure.'

'You never told me you had a younger brother!'

'Then I must not have told you about Steph either.'

'Steph?'

'Yea,s he's seven. Both Andy and Stephanie are my half siblings.'

'So did you never tell me about your siblings?'

'Okay, I'm sorry.' She said.

'Hey Tristan! Could you run to the store and pick up the order for Dugrey?' Jackie called.

'Sure.' He called back. 'You wanna come?'

'Okay.' She said. They took the SUV in the driveway and drove to the local grocery store. They arrived and got out and walked hand-in-hand to the food pick-up. A man asked to help them.

'Yea, I'm here to pick up an order for Dugrey.'

'Alright. Come back in ten minutes and we'll have it ready for you.' The man said.

'okay.' The two walked away from the counter.

'Hey Tristan?'

'Yea?'

'I have to go pee.' Rory said.

'Okay, come on.' He brought her to the back and to the bathroom. And waited outside. About 30 seconds later Rory popped her head out of the bathroom.

'Done?'

'Not exactly. Do you have a quarter?'

'Umm, yea.' He stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a few coins. He picked a quarter out and gave it to her.

'Thanks.' She went back into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later.

'You okay?' he asked bringing her out of the back.

'Yea, but can I have some money?'

'I never thought you would ask me that, but sure. Why?'

'I need to buy something.'

'Something?'

'Yea, it's kinda personal.'

'Do you want me to wait by the front so you can buy it alone?'

'Well, I just don't want you to be uncomfortable.'

'How bad could it be?'

'It depends what kind of guy it is.'

'Me?'

'I don't know. At the house, you kinda seemed surprised like it didn't affect you so I don't know.'

'Rory, do you have what my sister has?'

'You make it sound like a disease, but yes.'

'Well for it is because that means no sex!'

'Oh god. So you wanna come get some things with me?'

'Well, if you want you can buy it, but now that my sister has it, and Jackie has it, maybe not now but she does, there's probably a lot of that stuff at my house.'

'Oh yea. Okay, I'll just borrow some.'

'Okay, so you wanna buy anything else?'

'Do they sell ice cream?' Tristan laughed and walked with her to the freezer section. They stopped in front of a few cases. Rory looked through the glass and opened a door reaching in and grabbing a carton of Chunky Monkey.

'Good?'

'Yea, but I'm hungry. Do they sell samples here?'

'Rory they don't sell samples.'

'I knew that, but do they?' she asked feeling stupid.

'Yea, come on.' He brought her to the samples. They had a soft serve ice cream and this bowtie pesto noodle combo. They both took and ice cream and walked away from the table. Rory ate hers and looked at Tristan. He was slowly eating it.

'What?' he asked.

'You still have ice cream left and a still hungry girlfriend.' He laughed at her and spooned some onto the spoon and fed it to her. She bit the spoon and didn't let go. He let go and it stayed in her mouth.

'That's my spoon!!' she laughed and took it out f her mouth and gave Tristan a kiss on the lips. They broke apart and turned around and saw a familiar looking woman who was squinting at them, and after a few seconds stopped and just stared. Rory realized who it was.

'hey Tristan where are the crackers?' she asked trying to ignore the person.

'ma, you are demanding today!!' they laughed and Tristan gave her another kiss before he showed her the crackers which were only ten feet away. Tristan ate the ice cream out of his finger. Rory looked away from the crackers and back at Tristan expectantly. He laughed and gave her his finger. She took his finger in her mouth and sucked the ice cream off.

'Now I have Mary germs on me!! Yuck!' he said jokingly. She play pushed him, but didn't realize their was a person who was passing.

'Oh sorry.' Tristan said before he saw the death eyes of the one and only Lorelai Gilmore.

'Lorelai.' He said quietly.

'Tristan. HI.' She said before walking away.

'You cant hide from me forever mother.'

'Hide?'

'Yea. You're afraid, that's why you threatened.'

'I never threatened anyone!'

'That's funny cause I know a different story. Something about kidnap.'

'Who told you?'

'What the hell does it matter? You would have never won the case.'

'Yes, I would have.'

'How? By sending Dean? It couldn't be kidnap if I wanted to stay.'

'They must have brainwashed you.' Lorelai responded coldly. Tristan had never seen the two talk to each other that way. With such coldness and such distance in their tones.

'Brainwashed me when I was still in Stars Hollow?'

'Funny, you remember your real hometown. You haven't been there in so long, that I would've thought you'd forgotten.'

'I talk to people from home.'

'Like who?'

'People who wouldn't want me to tell you cause you're such a bitch!'

'How could you say that? After all I've done for you?'

'Like what?'

'Like send you to Chilton!"

'Bull! I got in not you! Grandma paid for it not you! You only went to the dinner cause you wanted to be close with Grandma!' Lorelai was shocked. She thought of something to say back, but something occurred to her, Rory was right. She had used her own daughter.

'Look, I'm here for thankfulness, and right now, the only thing I'm thankful for is Tristan.' She said. She walked away with Tristan walking next to her/ Lorelai couldn't move. She dropped her groceries and went home. When she got there, she learned a heart breaking truth. Something that could completely separate a mother from her daughter, and something that could hurt another relationship.

You'll just have to wait for what it is. Keep Looking!!
