In case you didn't know I own nothing at all of The Gilmore Girls or the gorgeous Chad Michael Murray. But a girl can
dream, right.
A.N.- Ok. I know how you feel because if I would have read this I would have been like you guys. But I actually like what's gonna happen in the future of the story. Lots of coping and tears. But all ends up in smiles.

How Long is Forever
Chapter 17
Tristan and Rory are sitting at a Starbucks drinking coffee and talking.
Tristan- You know…..I'm gonna marry you someday.
Rory- Really?
Tristan- Yup.
Rory- ok….since you seem so sure that you're gonna marry me and that I'll say yes, what will our life be like?
Tristan- Hmm…….we'll live in a nice house…….in Stars Hollow.
Rory- So far so good.
Tristan- We'll have kids.
Rory- How many?
Tristan- Two. One boy and one girl.
Rory- Great answer.
Tristan- Then we'll have a dog and we'll live happily ever after.
Rory- Perfect answers…..you know……if you ask in the future…….I just might say yes……maybe.
Tristan- I love you.
Rory- I love you.
Then Tristan suddenly gets up and starts to walk away.
Rory- Tristan? Where are you going?
Tristan walks out the door. Rory gets up and follows him. Tristan walks into the crowed sidewalk and continues to walk away. Rory continues to follow him but people keep getting in the way. Rory finally moves past the people but right before she reaches Tristan, he disappears.
Rory snaps up. She's breathing hard.
Rory- It was just a dream.
She looks next to her to find no one. She gets up and looks in the bathroom to find no one. She runs back to the room to find out this was her old room. Not their room.
Rory- He really is gone.
Lorelei comes running to Rory's room.
Lorelei- Sweetie are you ok? I heard you running.
Rory- I had a bad nightmare….and woke up to an even worse one.
Lorelei- Are you ok?
Rory- No.
Lorelei- What was your dream about?
Rory- Exactly what happened in real life, if you can even call it that……It went back to like a month ago….when me and Tristan were having coffee and talking about our life when and if we get married, but instead of both of us walking out together, like it happened……..in my dream…….he left all of a sudden…..and disappeared.
Lorelei- …..Don't let your memories consume you.
Rory- I'm not…..They're doing it on their own…………………I'm scared.
Lorelei- I know.
Rory- I don't know what I'm supposed to do?
Lorelei- You'll figure it out.
Rory- I'm gonna try to go back to bed…….even though I'm dreading tomorrow.
Lorelei- Good night
Rory- Good night.
Lorelei walks out and Rory lies down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The next morning)
Lorelei- Are you ready for this?
Rory- No……but I have no choice.
Lorelei- You're gonna be fine……I know it.
Rory- Am I? ……….Because right now, it doesn't feel like it.
Lorelei- Are you gonna tell them today
Rory- I don't know……I mean their son is dead…..they don't wanna hear that he knocked up some girl before he died.
Lorelei- You are not some girl he picked at a club or something……You were his Mary. And they love you for that…..Tristan was their only child……and this is gonna be their only grandchild. They're gonna be happy.
Rory- I'm not so sure.
Lorelei- Well…it's time to go….Let's go cry our eyes out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory and Lorelei are walking to the burial site. Lorelei is holding Rory's hand. You can see grief on Rory's face although she is fighting back her tears.
Lorelei- Are you ok?
Rory- Once again…no.
They both see Mr. And Mrs. DuGrey. Mrs. DuGrey is crying, while Mr. DuGrey is holding her.
Lorelei- You ok…here's the game plan…..tell them "Hey you're gonna be grandparents" and them run. Ok?…..Ok let's go.
They walk closer to them.
Rory- (verge of crying) I can't do this.
Rory runs away.
Lorelei- You forgot the line!
Lorelei chases after her.
Rory runs as fast as her legs will take her. She runs from . People. Pain. Death. . She wishes she could leave it all behind. But it catches up to her. She stops. She's out of breath. She starts to cry. Lorelei catches up with her.
Lorelei- Rory.
Rory- (crying) I can't do this.
Lorelei- Do what?
Rory- This…..……This wasn't supposed to happen……we were supposed to be together forever. You heard every one……and I felt it.
Lorelei- Nobody knows how long forever is……For you……it just happened to end when Tristan died.
Rory- (crying) It's not fair! It's not fair!
Rory breaks down again and falls on her knees.
Rory- It's not fair.
Lorelei hugs Rory.
Lorelei- You have to move on.
Rory- (crying) I can't……I don't want to move on……I want Tristan…..I want my old life back.
Lorelei- As much as it pains me to say it……..but it's gone.
Rory- Will it ever go away?
Lorelei- What?
Rory- This emptiness I feel.
Lorelei- Once you see what's growing inside you….it'll all go away.
Rory- How?
Lorelei- Because you're carrying a part of him…….Are you ready to go back?
Rory- No…..I can't go back there……It'll make it too real.
Lorelei- Ya…..we'll just go to the DuGrey's after the service.
Rory- Ya.
Lorelei- Come let's get you some coffee……Decaf.
Rory- With a hamburger?
Lorelei- Sure.
Rory- Bacon Burger?
Lorelei- Ok.
Rory- With extra bacon.
Lorelei- Fine.
Rory- With a side of baco-
Lorelei- Ok. That's enough. Let's go.
They walk to the car while Lorelei holds Rory.
Ok. What do you guys think? I know...stil depressing. But come on...Tristan just died. She can't be happy all of a sudden.
I put the dream sequence because some people were asking me to put Tristan back for like flash back or dream, so I did. Right now I'm working on the last chapters of the story. And I need to know whether you want the baby to be a girl or boy?
Let me know. Please review.
A.N.- Ok. I know how you feel because if I would have read this I would have been like you guys. But I actually like what's gonna happen in the future of the story. Lots of coping and tears. But all ends up in smiles.
