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.

enjoy!

))))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((((

That was it. She couldn't do it anymore. She got home and found her phone bill. There were a ton of calls from a place in New York. A blocked number, and the calls were to the Diner. Luke had kept in touch with Rory the whole time and Lorelai didn't even know.

She knew about that one call, but he was talking to her at least once every three or four days. She took the bill and sat down and started to cry. Stephanie came out to see what had happened. She saw her mom on the floor crying.

'Mommy, what's wrong?'

'Nothing.' She got up and took the keys and ran out the door leaving her daughter wondering and confused.

'Stephanie, what happened?' Luke asked coming into the room.

'I don't know. She was on the floor crying and holding a sheet of paper with numbers and places on it.'

'Crap.' He knew what she was talking about. Of course he did. It was the phone bill, from his diner. How could he be so stupid? He picked up the phone and called Rory;s cell.

Phone-------------

R-If you related to me, you shouldn't be.

L- Me too?

R- oh hey luke. I saw my mom today. Me and Tristan were in a Hartford grocery store and she saw me.

L- Yea, umm, Rory, she saw the phone bill. She knows I've been talking to you regularly.

R- shit.

l- yea, and I don't know what to do. I didn't see her but Steph did. She was crying.

R- she better not do anything stupid.

L- Where are you?

R- Tristan's house. Just got back, why?

L- No reason. Look, I gotta go, I just wanted to let you know.

R- Thanks,a nd thanks for everything Luke. The money too.

L- Sure. I'll hopefully talk to you soon.

R- okay, but does mom know about the—

L- no, only the phone calls as of five minutes ago.

R-okay, bye

L- Bye

End------------------

'My mom knows I've been talking to m step-dad.' Rory said ending the call on her cell phone.

'Ouch.'

'Yea, seriously.'

'How much longer is this gonna go on before you actually talk to her?'

'As long as it takes. She even denied the kidnapping statement!'

'Yea, that was just stupid!' he said agreeing with Rory.

'Do you think I'm wrong?'

'We ran away for different reasons Rory. I cant say for you.'

'I know, I know.' Rory leaned against the wall.

'But I know what will take your mind off of things.'

'You do?'

'Yea.' He sai kissing her neck. She moaned as he sucked on her ear lobe. He came in front of her face.

'Lets continue this upstairs.' He said whispering. She followed him to his room and gasped at his room and then felt Tristan's arms around her.

'Hey.' She said before she leaned in to kiss him. About two hours later, they came back down the stairs. Rory headed to the bathroom, and Tristan wondered to the kitchen.

'Hey Tristan.' Carrie said.

'Hi.' He said flatly.

'You never gave me hug, no nothing when you came home today. You know I missed you.' She sai coming up in front of him.

'I'm sure you did.'

'Yea, I was all lonely at night.' She said running her hand his cheek. He managed a small smile and got out of her reach but she just stepped closer.

'Where are you going? Aren't you gonna give me hug or kiss?'

'Wasn't planning to.' He said.

'Oh, that's not very nice.' She said pouting.

'Can I at least give you a kiss on the cheek?' he knew she would never give up so he finally agreed to it, but as he turned his head to say something. His mom kissed his "cheek" but got the corner of his mouth again.

'That eager huh?' Tristan actually blushed and just walked away. He almost knocked Rory out when he ran through the house.

'Whoa! Where you going?' she asked holding her chest.

'I, I, I I , I kissed her!!' he said disgusted.

'Who?' Rory asked eyes wide.

'My mom. She wouldn't give up so I told her she could give me a hello kiss on my cheek but I turned my head to say something and she kissed the corner of m mouth, oh god!! That's disgusting!!' Tristan said wiping his mouth several times.

'Yes, that's gross.' Rory said knowing Tristan did not want for that to happen. She was one of his reasons for leaving.

'Well, just don't go near her.' Rory said cringing.

'It's thanksgiving, that's gonna be hard.'

'Okay, how about if we stay in a hotel?'

'My grandfather may be home.'

'Okay, either one.' Rory said.

'Okay.'

'So your mom likes you. That's gross incest.'

'You think I want my mother to have a crush on me?'

'no, but your mom IS kinda pretty.'

'I may be 16 and normally thinking about one thing, but I will only ever like my mom as a mom.'

'That's good to know.'

'You however, I could never think of any other way!' Rory smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips.

'Lunch!' Jackie called. She came out and ushered them in into the dining room. They ate lunch in silence, Rory and Jackie not missing the looks Carrie was giving her older son. Tristan was very uncomfortable. They finished and got up.

'Tristan I wanna stay somewhere else.' Rory whispered to him.

'Good thinking. Okay, mom, me and Rory are gonna stay with Pops. We'll come back tonight.'

'Okay, Darling.' Tristan rolled his eyes and drove with Rory to his gradnfather's house. He turned off the car and opened the trunk. Rory left him o take care of it. She reand the doorbell and a few seconds later, an older man opened the door.

'Can I help you?' he asked.

'Umm, well, my boyfriend is your grandson I believe.'

'NO, you must have a mistake, my grandson is only seven.'

'Not Jordan, I date Tristan.

'Where?' Rory pointed to the car. Tristan closed the trunk and walked towards them waving.

'Hey Pops.' He said putting the bags down.

'Tristan, my boy.' They shook hands warmly. ' So what do I owe this visit too?'

'Well it's thanksgiving and my mom was going at it again.'

'Oh, okay well come in come in!' he said ushering them in. The three walked to the living room and sat down.

'So, you are Tristan's girl?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Sir? I wasn't a knight at the round table! Please, call me Janlan.'

'Okay.' Rory said smiling at his joke.

'So Tristan how's New York?'

'It's good. I really like it there.'

'Oh, and did you two meet there? Oh and dear what's your name.'

'Oh sorry, Rory.'

'Ahh, so did you and Rory meet in New York? At your school?'

'I do know Rory from school, but we met at Chilton.'

'Chilton? But that's in Hartford, why are you in New York?'

'My life wasn't going well, and I felt like I really needed a fresh start.'

'Mmmm. So you say you went to Chilton, you don't look familiar.'

'I was Juliet in the play, when Tristan played Romeo.'

'I thought a Gilmore played that part.'

'Yea, I'm Rory Gilmore, or Lorelai Gilmore III.'

'Pops, perhaps you know her grandfather?'

'You wouldn't happen to be Richard and Emily Gilmore's granddaughter, would you?'

'That's me.'

'Wow, I must say, you grew up quite nicely. The last time I met you, you were I believe nine-and-a-half. All of the teenagers these days seem to be growing up nicely. Don't you think my grandson looks quite handsome?'

'I'd rather not answer that.'

'Why?'

'Cause it would just prove to him that I'm hopeless!' Rory said. She saw Tristan smirking and hit him lightly.

'So Miss. Gilmore, why aren't you with your family?'

'Because me and my mom are sort of in a big fight right now, and I'm sure if she saw my face I would have a dart going through it.'

'Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that. Tristan has permission to bring you anytime her likes.'

'Thank you Janlan,' she smiled.

'So you've found an interest in my grandson.'

'I have.' She smiled at Tristan.

'You know, I have met a lot of girls Tristan's been with, but you are by the far the best one I've met, and trust me, I've seen some pretty nice looking ones, and I'm not just saying that because of you last name.'

'Thank you. Sir.' Rory said blushing.

'So Tristan, how's life?'

'Well, it's good. We are starting to pack our boxes to move into a bigger place. We're getting a loft.'

'A loft? Rory is it nice?'

'Yea, it's beautiful.'

'Well then go for it! How's Jake?'

'He's fine. He just broke up with his girlfriend, but he didn't like her anyway, so he's happy about it.'

'Just as long as I don't know another high school Tristan Dugrey and his dating tactics.'

'Hey!!'

'Oh, I like your grandfather!' Rory laughed. It was quiet for a few minutes and then Janlan broke it.

'So, should we be maing wedding plans soon?'

'Pops!'

'What it was an honest question.'

'I don't think so, we're still both 16!'

'16? That's it? I remember the day I graduated high school.'

'Pops, you didn't go to high school.'

'Shush you!' Janlan silenced but Rory giggled anyway.

'So are we going to your house Tristan?'

'No, I'd rather not. Let's just eat here.'

'Should Cynthia make a turkey?'

'Cynthia? What happened to Brenda?'

'She got tired of my orders. Cynthia's more responsible anyway.'

'That's good, but it's okay.'

'yea, it's nice enough for you to let me stay here.'

'Ahh, nonsense. Eat here, your mother didn't invite me anyway.'

'Okay, my mom invited like 20-30 people!'

'So she has less of a chance noticing your not there.'

'Sure.'

'Good, so stay!'

'Rory is that okay?'

'Yea, it should be fun!' Janlan nodded his head and talked to the maid. The maid said something and walked off.

'So how long have you two been together?' he asked.

'About a month?'

'Yea, unofficially October 30th, and officially the 31st.'

'Officially?'

'Yea, we kissed on the 31st.' Rory explained.

'Ah, so not to be nosy but have you two done the deed?'

'Yes.' Tristan said looking at Rory who was slightly blushing,

'So youg. Well come, I have some fresh cookies!'

'Pops. You shouldn't. Not with your condition.'

'Don't worry Tristan. They are fat-free and sugar-free sugar cookies.' Rory and Tristan gave each other a confused look. He gave them both a cookie. They bit into it and put on fake smiles.

'So?'

'They taste like cardboard.' Tristan said honestly.

'Yea, I know. I don't like them, so I'm trying to find people to eat them. He said picking up a cookie and then putting it back down.

'You wanna get rid of them? I'll do it for you. Rory said.

'Good. They're yours.' She smiled and wrapped the plastic wrap back around the them. She found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a note.

Mom-

I made these for you. Enjoy.

Your daughter,

Rory

Harsh?' Tristan asked reading it.

'She deserves it.'

'Okay, I take your side on that one.'

'Yea, I'll talk to her when she's calm.'

'So Rory, dear, did you want to visit some friends?'

'I think it's beter if I don't.'

'Okay, so rooming?'

'Ummm, Rory?'

'Well it depends if what you feel comfortable with. I mean me and Tristan have slept in the same bed, even before we dated so it wouldn't be weird, but if you feel uncomfortable then we don't have to.'

'Well if you don't mind you two sharing would be easier. Cynthia isn't big on changing sheets, so it'll be ne less bed to change!' They all laughed.

'That's fine, Pops.' He smiled at Rory. The rest of the afternoon they talked and laughed. Dinner was pleasant and soon it was time to say goodnight. Rory and Tristan said goodnight and disappeared into the private room.

'Your grandfather's sweet.'

'Yea, I know. Makes me wonder how my father ended up a heartless bastard.'

'Well it definitely didn't hit you!'

'You think I'm like my grandfather?'

'Very much so.' She smiled and turned to look out the window at the clear sky. Tristan smirked and came behind Rory. He kissed her exposed neck.

'mmm, Tristan.' She put her head forward so he could have better access.

'No, Tristan.' Rory said as she felt the bed on her knees.

'Why?'

'Because. Not here and not right now. Kissing fine, but the other thing, no.'

'oh right.' He said remembering.

'In a week.' She told him.

'Fine.' He said disappointed.

'hey at least I'm fine for Christmas and possibly New Years!'

'Fine, but when this is over....'

'Pushy aren't we!'

'Sorry.'

'I forgive you.' She said and snuggled closer to him.

'Wanna just sleep?'

'Yea.' They climbed into the bed and fell asleep. Meanwhile, a few days before, Lorelai and Luke were fighting.

It was a long and tearful fight, but they soon forgave each other. It was one of the few things to end happily at that time in their lives.

DONE!!!......well this chapter at least. :)
