Just a reminder I own nothing of Gilmore Girls. I'm not a genius. I wish I was, but I'm not.
Author's note: Thanks for all the reviews. You guys are awesome. But still keep them coming. For those of you who were confused from last chapter, Rory didn't go to the funeral. She went to the cemetery but couldn't do it so she went home. She went to the Dugrey's house.

How long is forever
Chapter 22
Rory walks up to the Dugrey's door. She rings the door bell a couple times. Before she pushes it again Travis opens the door.
Travis- Rory, Hi.
Rory- Hi.
Travis- You look beautiful.
Rory- Thank you…but I look like a cow.
Travis- No, you don't.
Rory- (smiles) Don't lie to a pregnant women.
Rory walks into the house and is greeted by Mrs. Dugrey.
Mrs. Dugrey- Rory…Oh you're looking beautiful…and..oh…you're starting to show. You have the pregnant woman here.
Mrs. Dugrey hugs Rory.
Mrs. Dugrey- Travis told me you to already met.
Rory- Yes…we met at the cemetery.
Mrs. Dugrey- You finally met?
Rory- Ya.
Mrs. Dugrey- Good for you. How did it go?
Rory- It was harder than I thought it would be.
Mrs. Dugrey- It always is….Well come on now. Dinner is served.
They all walk to the dinning room and take their seats.
Rory- When will Mr. Dugrey be here?
Mrs. Dugrey- Any moment. Why?
Rory- Well….I have something to tell both of you.
Mr. Dugrey- Well wait no longer for I am here. (takes his seat) What is it, dear?
Rory- Umm….as you know…I had a doctor's appointment today and had a sonogram…and found out that….I'm having twins.
Mrs. Dugrey- Twins?
Rory- (cautiously) Yes?
Mr. Dugrey- That's great.
Mrs. Dugrey- Two grandchildren.
Rory smiles.
Mr. Dugrey- That is great news….now…let us eat….Rory has to eat for three now.
Travis looks at Rory and back down to his plate and smiles.
They eat their dinner. Everyone was talking, laughing and smiling, except Rory, who occasionally gave a fake laugh or smile. She couldn't give 'real' smile. She had to get out of there.
Rory- Thank you Mr and Mrs. Dugrey. The dinner was amazing.
Mr. Dugrey- Please….you're family now…it's Charles.
Mrs. Dugrey- And Elizabeth.
Rory- Thank you…..I'll see you both soon. I need to get back. Excuse me.
Rory quickly gets up and hurriedly walks out the door. Travis looks on as she leaves.
Travis- Excuse me.
Travis gets up and runs after Rory.
Travis- Rory?
She doesn't turn around.
Travis- Rory. Please stop.
Rory stops and slowly turns around to show her tears.
Travis- What's wrong?
Rory- !…. is wrong….Everybody is acting like 's ok……like nothing ever happened. Didn't Tristan mean anything to you people?!
Travis- Of course he did…he does…but there's a point where you gotta stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself and just accept that he's gone…..you're not the only one who lost Tristan, but you don't see me crying at every corner.
Rory- (crying) Don't you dare compare yourself to me!…..I loved him…more than anything…..I would have done anything for him. And in case you haven't noticed…I'm carrying his children…..And I see everyone smiling….and thinking 's ok, when it's not….Why are they smiling and laughing when their only son is dead?
Travis- Because they have you…..They miss Tristan…..just as much as you do….and so do I….but you can't be stuck on a world that doesn't exist anymore.
Rory is silent for awhile, but soon her sobs break that silence. She cries more and hugs Travis. She cries on his shoulder as he tries to comfort her. She pulls away from him and walks to a bench. She sits down and wipes her tears.
Rory- Who woulda thought…me being at his parents house….pregnant with his children…..and me being so damn in love with him…..you know…I practically hated him in high school….well not hate…..more like, aggravated that he knew which buttons to push……He always knew how to push my buttons….her was a pro.
Travis- He told me about that….he said he was stuck in 2nd grade mode……you like a girl, you bug her. You really, really like a girl, you torment her.
Rory- And that he did…..how did you and Tristan meet?
Travis- Well…Elizabeth and my mom are best friends, and so are our fathers….so it was pretty obvious that we'd be best friends too…..We did together.
Rory- Did you go to Chilton?
Travis- Hell no…..I went to Raylan, on the other side of town…but we lived next to each other.
Rory- You said you guys were 'blood brothers'. How does that work?
Travis- Well…..a long time ago, when we were like……12...we both had a crush on our 6th grade teacher. She was hot. And one day we got into a fight…..he kicked my ass….when we realized what we were doing….we stopped and made a pact to never let a girl come between us again…..and that we'd be brother forever….then…we cut our fingers and let them bleed. Then we pressed our fingers together and became 'blood brothers'.
Rory smiled. A real one. Not a big one, a small one, but it was real.
Rory- How did Tristan get his 'player' status?
Travis- Well…It just happened…..after puberty girls just started jumping into his bed, but even before then…he always had girls surrounded by him…when you live in a society like ours….you kinda get encouraged do be like that.
Rory- Were you like that?
Travis- Not really….I had girlfriends….Tristan had conquests…..'friends with benefits' minus the friends part…..I wasn't like that……I've always been…..kinda a romantic……but don't tell anyone.
Rory let out a chuckle.
Rory- You're secret's safe with me.
Travis- Thank you….but Tristan stopped his ways when he met you….and he couldn't really do anything in an all guys military school….but he did reform somewhat to his old ways when he took the year off…….but officially hung up his crown for good when he saw you at Yale….He never believed in 'real' relationships or yet alone love until he met you…..you saved him.
Rory- God….I remember the day I ran into him at Yale like it was yesterday…that day was so perfect….I've never seen him so nervous when he asked me for coffee (chuckles) he was stuttering. …and then how shocked he was when I told him I wasn't a 'Mary' anymore….he nearly spit out his coffee.
Travis- So how did the whole Mary thing start anyway?…I just remember him telling me that it was your nickname.
Rory- I don't know….the first time we met he called me Mary in high school. I guess it was just one of his many ways to torment me…..and in a warped way….I kinda liked it….it was a way of knowing people knew I existed…and in a scary way….he was my only friend in that hell hole.
Travis- I always used to tell him to find one girl…and fall in love….find a girl you want to look at and spend the rest of your life with….and after a couple of weeks after you two got together he called me and told me that he found her…the girl he wanted to look at for the rest of his life….the one he wanted to be with forever…..that girl was you….and I've never heard him so happy….he told me how beautiful you were…and how perfect you are…..and I thought he was over reacting….until I met you…..he wasn't over reacting…he under reacting.
Travis moves in a little closer. Rory's eyes widen. He continues to move closer. The Rory quickly gets up.
Rory- I've got to go.
Travis stands up.
Travis- Rory.
Rory turns away and walks fast.
Rory- I told my mom I'd be home early. Thank you.
She then runs to her car. She climbs in, breathing hard. She stares straight ahead. He eyes start to whell up. She breaks down and cries. She puts her head on the steering wheel and cries. She lifts up her head and turns the car on. As she is driving home a song comes on. A song a little close to home. Very close. Their song.
I love you The Cranberries
Feels like, I'm standing in a timeless dream Of light mists, of pale amber rose Feels like, I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent Touching, discovering you
Those days, of warm rains come rushing back to me Miles of windless, summer night air Secret moments, shared in the heat of the afternoon Out of the stillness, soft spoken words
I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you
You've got, the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen You've got, me almost melt away As we lay there, under a blue sky with pure white stars Exotic sweetness, a magical time
I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you
Say you'll love, love me forever Never stop, not for whatever Near and far and always and everywhere and
Say you'll love, love me forever Never stop, not for whatever Near and far and always and everywhere and
Say you'll love, love me forever Never stop, not for whatever Near and far and always and everywhere and
I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you I love you, always forever Near and far, closer together Everywhere, I will be with you , I will devour you
She drives as tears sting her eyes. She pulls into her drive way and walks out and into her house. Not stopping to say hi to her mom or Luke. She goes straight into her room, falls on her bed and quickly falls asleep, hoping it'll be better tomorrow.
