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.

Leaving New York Behind:

The four of them arrived back to the apartment and they all sat on the couch.

'We're SO stupid!' Rory said.

'No, you're not. You two just got caught up in it.' Jackie said.

'Yea but I mean me and Rory we were always protected! It would be pretty much impossible for her to really get pregnant.' Tristan said.

'Well, just be glad Rory isn't. I mean did you two use both condoms and birth control pills?'

'Well we didn't use birth control pills but always condoms. We've came close to being unprotected several times but we always stop before it's to late.' Rory said. The phone rang just as Jake walked through the door. He picked it up.

'Hello?'

'This is a collect call from "Lane". To except the charges please say "yes".'

'I accept.' He said confused. The call went through.

'Hello?' a girl asked.

'Yea, hi. Can I help you?' Jake asked.

'Yea, I'm looking for Rory. Is this where she lives?'

'Yea, hold on.'

'Rory, phone for you.' He called. Rory got up and walked to the phone.

'Hello?'

'Rory!!!'

'Oh my god! I feel SO horrible!'

'Yea well you forgot about me!'

'NEVER!! I've just been so busy with.... with everything!'

'Yea, that's what I thought and I figured I should call you because you were really busy and couldn't find time in over three months to call your best friend.'

'Lane that's not how it is!!'

'I know, but I miss you SO much!! I mean where was the snow man you and Lorelai make every year?'

'I'm kinda not talking to my mom right now.'

'Hey Rory, can you call her tomorrow? You should go to sleep, its really late.' Jake said.

'Lane, I'm being forced to get off, but if I don't call you soon then you can come here and drag me home.'

'Promise?'

'I promise.'

'Okay, talk to you later.'

'Definitely.'

'Good.'

'Bye.' Rory said hanging up the phone. Jake was waiting for an answer.

'She's my best friend from home and I kinda forgot about her.'

'Okay now get to bed.'

'Wait, ummm, Nate—Jackie's man did the test on me today. He's a doctor.'

'And?' he asked.

'The test was wrong. I'm not.' Jake's mouth curved up into a smile.

'And there we got all excited for nothing!'

'Excited? Hardly. I don't wanna have kids until I'm older!'

'Well I'm happy for you, now go scoot! Tomorrow is school and I need to get some sleep too!'

'Okay. Night Jake.'

'Night.' Rory walked down the hall and then into her room. She changed into a tank top and shorts and looked at her bed. It didn't seem very welcoming so she crossed the hall and knocked on the door before going in. Tristan was in bed reading a magazine. He smiled at her.

'You okay?' he asked.

'Yea, but my bed doesn't seem so appealing tonight.'

'Oh.'

'Yea, and I was wondering if you could maybe share your bed tonight?' Tristan laughed softly before moving over and patting the space next to him.

'Come.' He said. She obeyed and climbed into the bed.

'I'm scared.' Rory admitted.

'About what? You're not pregnant.'

'I know, but that things aren't gonna be the same between us anymore. Like our relationship wont be like before.'

'And you think I'm gonna treat your differently because of this?'

'No, but that we wont do the same things as before. I don't know.' Tristan thought about what she said and then it seemed like a light turned on.

'You think we aren't going to have sex anymore.' He said nodding his head. Rory blushed slightly and nodded her head.

'I know it's stupid but you always make it so special for me.'

'I don't think you have to worry about us not being sexually active.'

'Are you sure?'

'No, but Rory, if we both wanna do it, what's stopping us?'

'Me getting pregnant—for real.'

'We're always safe. I don't think you have to worry about that.' Rory nodded her head.

'So what do I tell Ashlee?'

'Tell her the truth.'

'Tomorrow?'

'That would be smart.' Rory laughed and rested her head on his bare chest. They were quiet for a few minutes before Rory spoke.

'I love you Tristan.'

'I love you too.' He leaned down and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. She smiled sadly.

'What's wrong?' he asked cupping her face and rubbing his thumb over her cheek.

'I need to go back to Stars Hollow.'

'What?' he asked shocked.

'Tristan I'm not even 17 yet. I still need my family and my mom. The first thing I wanted to do when I thought I was pregnant was to tell my mom and let her talk to me about it.'

'I don't think I understand. I mean before you would shiver at the mention of your mom.'

'I know, but I've always been her best friend, and she's always been mine. This weekend we have a four day weekend, so I'm gonna go back home.'

'Okay.' He said nodding.

'I know your answer but do you wanna come?'

'Sure.'

'Wha—What?'

'I wanna visit my grandfather. He's probably lonely.'

'Okay. I was planning on leaving right after school on Thursday or I guess tomorrow.'

'I guess I better pack.' He said.

'Yea I already packed. This afternoon before I watched TV I packed. It's gonna be 4 days and 4 nights. Luke, will probably let us stay in the apartment above the diner.'

'Or if he doesn't my grandfather wouldn't mind seeing you again.'

'Okay.'

'You wanna help me pack?'

'Sure, but let's let Jake know.'

'Good idea.' They got up.

'Wait, it's one A.M.' Tristan pointed out.

'Oh yea, guess not.' Rory said stopping.

'You can make sure you have everything to leave.'

'Kay.' She smiled and left the room leaving Tristan to pack up all his belongings. The next morning Rory and Tristan stumbled out of their bedrooms hitting a few walls from being so tired.

'Morning!' Jackie chirped.

'Ahh! Shush!' Rory muttered sitting on a chair but completely missing it and landing on the floor with a thud.

'Ouch.' Rory said now fully awake. The others laughed.

'Rory are you okay?' Tristan asked helping her up.

'Yea, Hey Jackie, Nate, Jake. Jake—it's a coffee emergency. Jake cringed and gave her a mug. She chugged it down her throat not wincing the least bit from the hotness. The other four looked on in amazement when Rory poured herself another cup.

'We mind as well tell you all at the same time.' Tristan said.

'You guys are to young to get married.' Nate said.

'Married?' Rory asked.

'We're not getting married! We're going back to Connecticut.' Rory finished. Jackie dropped her spoon. The three stared at Rory and Tristan.

'I'm sorry, what?' Jackie asked shocked.

'Rory and I talked last night. Jackie: CeCe, Jordan, Alex—they need me. Grandpa never did anything but treat me like I should be. While getting away from those I need to like Chiltonites and my mom, I'm was also getting away from those I loved, and Rory was the only one who dared me to go back. We talked for awhile and we need to do this.'

'So this is for good?' Jake asked.

'Yes, Jake. And Jake I love you so much, but I need to do this. Jackie I love you too, and Nate well thanks for what you did.'

'Anytime. You'll be at the wedding right?'

'Wouldn't miss it.' She smiled. Jackie got up and hugged Rory then Tristan.

'I love you both too.' She said wiping away a tear. Jake went to them and gave her a brotherly hug and she hugged him back then gave Tristan a manly hug.

'This isn't a problem is it? I mean you'll find roommates right?'

'No, it wont be a problem. I have a few friends who are looking to share a loft. They'll be happy to find an opening.'

'Thanks.' Tristan and Rory walked out. They put all of their belongings in the limp and went to school to say goodbye to their friends. They saw a few of Tristan's friends first. He went to them and said goodbye.

'So her parents know, huh.' One said.

'Know what?'

'She's carrying your baby, man!'

'No she's not. She never was, it was just a rumor.'

'Oh sorry man I didn't mean—'

'Nah it's okay.' He walked back over to Rory.

'Who did you tell about being pregnant?'

'Ashlee.'

'Who else?'

'Just her, why?'

'Cause she may not be your friend.'

'Why?'

'Cause James knows. As well as Devon, Andy, and Chris. They all think you're a hooker and knocked up. Well I cleared that up but still.'

'What? Stop messing around!'

'It's always the quiet ones!'

'Ashlee wouldn't do that!'

'Go ask her.' He said pointing to her at her locker. Rory mumbled and went.

'Ashlee?'

'Oh hey.'

'Why did you tell everyone I was pregnant?'

'What? I didn't! Why would I do that? You're my best friend!'

'Then why does everyone know?'

'Shit.'

'What?'

'Cathy Bean overheard us once. She said something tome and I denied it but she must have spread it anyways!'

'It's okay, I'm not mad at you.'

'Kay, I'm sorry.'

'No hard feelings but I need to talk to you.'

'Okay...?'

'First I'm not pregnant; Tristan's, sister's fiancé is a doctor and he tested me last night.'

'Oh my god!!!' Ashlee screeched throwing her arms around Rory.

'There's more.'

'More?'

'Yea, I'm going back to Connecticut, and I'm staying.

'I'm losing you?'

'No! I'll come visit you ALL the time and you can come to me! We can write each other and IM each other!'

'Ashlee very sad.' Ashlee said.

'Fefe sad too.' Rory said. They both smiled sadly and gave each other another hug before Rory and Tristan left. She told Tristan what happened. They were almost to the exit when Rory stopped Tristan.

'Shall we put on one more last show before we leave?' Rory asked smirking. Tristan's eyes went wide.

'I don't know...shall we?' he asked inching closer to her and backing her into the last row of lockers.

'One wouldn't hurt.' She said before his lips crashed down on hers. She quickly responded and ran her hands through his soft hair and pulling his head closer. He pushed her farther into the lockers grinding against her. They both moaned into each other's mouths as their tongues dueled each other. They heard clapping and cheering like at the Halloween Dance. They pulled away slowly looking into each other's eyes. They were both breathing heavily.

'Come on, let's get out of here.' Tristan whispered. Rory nodded and Tristan grabbed her hand and walked out the door into the daylight, leaving the school and New York behind.
