Just a reminder I own nothing of Gilmore Girls. I'm not a genius. I wish I was, but I'm not.

How long is forever
Chapter 21
(Takes place a month after the last chapter)
Rory is lying in a bed at a doctor's office. Lorelei is standing next to her.
Rory- How is this supposed to feel?
Lorelei- Kinda cold….kinda slimy…..and you're lucky your doctor's a girl.
Rory- Why?
Lorelei- Just cause.
Just then the doctor walks in.
Doctor- Hello Ms. Gilmore. I'm Doctor Armstrong. I'll be accompanying you through this journey.
Rory- Hello.
Lorelei- Hi….I'm her mother…Lorelei.
Doctor- Hello Lorelei….as you know…today we're going to take a glimpse of your baby….Now…ms. Gilmore could you just pull up your shirt a little, please.
Rory fold her shirt up a little.
Doctor- I can see you are starting to show a little bit.
Lorelei- Awww…my baby's got a little belly.
Rory glances at Lorelei.
Lorelei- Ok…I'm shutting up.
Doctor- Ok…this maybe a little cold.
Doctor puts the gel on Rory's stomach.
Doctor- You might feel a little pressure.
The doctor put the sonogram on her stomach.
Doctor- Ok…..and there's your baby. (Points to the screen)…..Wait a minute.
Rory- What?….Wait what?
Doctor- There's two heads.
Lorelei- Oh no…my grandchild is a mutant.
Rory- What?
Doctor- Well….it seems you got blessed twice.
Rory- What does that mean?
Doctor- You're having twins.
Rory- Twins?…..as in two separate babies?….as in two body's?….two head?…..Two smelly diaper?….and two screaming babies in the middle of night?….Twins?
Doctor- Yes.
Rory- Oh God.
Lorelei- So…..I'm gonna be a grandmother of two before I'm 40?
Doctor- Yes.
Lorelei- ……….Alright!….I'm the best looking grandma ever!
Rory glances at Lorelei.
Rory- Mom.
Lorelei- Right, sorry.
Doctor- I'll give you time alone….Let you catch your breath……I'm just going to print out the sonogram.
Lorelei- Can we have two?
Doctor- Of course.
Doctor leaves.
Lorelei looks at Rory who is still shocked.
Lorelei- How you doing?
Rory- Twins?…I was barely getting used to the fact that I was even having one baby….but…….two?……..Am I even ready this?
Lorelei- You're not thinking of adoption are you?
Rory- NO!….absolutely not….It's just…..this is huge.
Lorelei- You're gonna be ok.
There's a long pause.
Rory- I miss him.
Lorelei- I know…..we all do.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory walks through the cemetery looking for the right place. She stops in front of an engraved tombstone. She places the flowers she bought by the tombstone.
Rory- (scratchy) I know I haven't been around much…….or even at all……..I just kept trying to avoid being here……hoping that it won't make it real……that'll make just a horrible nightmare, that I couldn't wake from…………..(verge of crying) This has been the worst 2 ½ months of my life……but it's getting better……..and a little scary……you may not know this….
but…….I'm pregnant……and not just with one……twins…..can you believe it…twins……….you're' parents are excited……They don't know about the twins yet……but they're happy……..so is my mom……and Jack and Paris…….. They're moving in together, you know….who woulda thought…………………..(crying) I miss you ……so much………..For a while I hated you for leaving me……….but now….I hate myself for not being there with you……I shoulda been there with you……………….You were probably so cold and alone…………..I feel so lost without you………..I've been having people around me all the time………but I have never been so alone in my life….
(crying more)…………..and I'm at the point …………….where I don't know what to do anymore…………..people keep telling me to move on………….but I can't……..I don't want to……..I want you……and even if I could…….I wouldn't want you to hate me.
Voice- He wouldn't.
A voice comes up behind Rory, which startles her. Rory turns around, while wiping her tears, to see an extremely good looking young man in his early twenties. His eyes were as green as the grass. He had the 'just got out of bed' (aka Ashton Kutcher do) light brown hair.
Rory- You don't know Tristan.
Voice- Actually….I do.
Rory- Who are you?
Voice- I'm Travis…….Tristan's brother.
Rory- What? That's impossible……He was an only child.
Travis- Well…not actual….brothers…..but 'blood brother'…..He's my best friend…..has been since we were in the womb……we even got shipped to military school together………..he's my brother.
Rory- I dated him for a year……how come I've never heard of you?
Travis- Oh…but I've heard of you……You're Rory Gilmore…..a.k.a. Mary. The love of Tristan's life…..The one who changed him……….He was gonna ask you to marry him, you know?
Rory- (sadly) I know……what are you doing?
Travis- Pay my respects…..I haven't been here since the funeral….which….I did not see you at.
Rory- I didn't go.
Travis- Why?
Rory- I couldn't.
Travis- Denial, right?
Rory- You can say that.
Travis- I went through that….You don't see it…it can't be true….right?
Rory- Something like that.
Travis- So……rumor has it…..you're pregnant?
Rory- Rumor?
Travis- Talk…..Tristan's parents told my parents they were gonna have a grandchild.
Rory- Grandchildren.
Travis- (shocked) Twins?
Rory- Ya…..just found out today.
Travis- So you haven't told Mr. and Mrs. Dugrey yet?
Rory- I needed to come here first……..I haven't been here yet……I needed to find some clarity.
Travis- Did you?
Rory- No……I just came up with more questions.
Travis- Like what?
Rory- Like…..how am I going to raise two kids with no father?…..How am I supposed to do all of this without him?
Travis-……..You really did love him, didn't you.
Rory- More than you'll ever know……..why do you think he won't hate me if I move on?
Travis- Because he loved more than anything……..I know he would want you to be happy.
Rory- I wouldn't be able to move…..I wouldn't be able find it in me to……..I'd hate myself for it………………I don't want to let go of him.
Travis- You'll have to someday.
Rory- Ya…….someday…….not now…….I'll give you some time alone with him.
Rory starts to walk away.
Travis- Rory?
Rory turns around.
Rory- Ya?
Travis- You're gonna be ok……Tristan always told me you were a strong girl.
Rory- You know…..when I was younger……I used to believe that…..I tried so hard to be strong…….for me….for my mom…..And I thought I was……I'm not so sure anymore…….but thanks anyways.
Travis- You know……I'd really like to get to know the girl that made my brother so happy…..and I might be an uncle…..right?
Rory smiles
Rory- ya…….Uncle Travis…..I'm going to the Dugrey's for dinner.
Travis- Ya…I'll be there too.
Rory- Well then……I'll see you there…..uncle Travis.
And with that Rory walks away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rory walks into the house where she sees her mom watching to TV. Lorelei turns to see Rory and turns off the TV. Rory sits next to Lorelei on the couch and rests her head on Lorelei's shoulder.
Lorelei- Hey.
Rory- (sighs) Hey.
Lorelei- Where'd you go…I was worried about you.
Rory- Sorry…….I went to the cemetery.
Lorelei- Oh…….How'd it go?
Rory- It was hard……..I met Tristan's brother there.
Lorelei- What?
Rory-………His best friend…..They were like brothers.
Lorelei- Was he nice?
Rory- Very nice……apparently Tristan used to talk to him about me a lot.
Lorelei- I'm glad you went…….I'm proud of you……..well…..should get dressed for the dumb dinner thing.
Rory- You don't have to go.
Lorelei- No, it's ok. I don't mind.
Rory- Clearly…….I should go alone…..spend some time with my …..new family.
Lorelei- Are you sure?
Rory- Ya….I'm sure.
Lorelei- You are one tough cookie, you that?
Rory- I wish I believed that……I'm gonna get ready.
Rory gets up from the couch and walks to her room.
What do you guys think? Let me know. Please R&R.
