She saw Tristan's car pull into the driveway and immediately got up. When he got to the door, he seemed surprised.
'Hey! How long have you been here?' he asked taking in her messy appearance and red eyes.
'Not long.' She lied. He gave her a look. She took a deep breath.
'About an hour and a half. I couldn't go home—my mom's out shopping for food. I didn't want to go with her.' She went inside with him. As soon as the door shut, Dana started to hunt the house for photos, proof, anything that would confirm her findings that day. Tristan interrupted her mission.
'Dana what are you doing?'
'Photo album…I need one.'
'I umm what?'
'I need to see a photo album…one from your past. More specifically, your ex-wife.'
'Dana, I—'
'Tristan I would never do anything to cause you pain or whatever, but if what happened earlier today is true, well then I'm not who you think I am.'
'I can't Dana.'
'Then don't look.' He shook his head sadly. She sighed then took out the few pictures' she had in her bag. She handed him the baby picture that she mistakenly thought was her sister.
'Who is that?' she demanded.
'How did you get this?' he questioned.
'Please, just answer the question!'
'It's a baby picture of me.'
'Yea, see I thought it was my sister.' She took out another photo. It was Aaron at age three.
'Recognize him?' she asked.
'I—uhh…'
'Please, just show me an album.' She pleaded. He gave in and opened a cabinet that held over five photo albums. He took out a maroon one and gave it to Dana.
'Have any questions, ask me.' He said.
'Can you sit next to me?' he reluctantly agreed but sat next to her just the same. Of course, the first picture was of Rory.
'This is your ex-wife?' he nodded silently.
'You were married to Rory Gilmore…wow.' His head shot up.
'Excuse me?' he questioned.
'You were married to a woman like her.'
'I meant her name—how did you know it?'
'My—my uh she's a family friend.' She covered.
'You were never good at lying.' He pointed out.
'It shouldn't be like this.' She said defeated. The tears came again.
'Be like what?' she pulled out the last two pictures she had and handed them to him.
'Is this your sister?' he asked shocked at the picture of Tori.
'Yup.' When Tristan looked at the other picture, his eyes went wide.
'Who in your family has diabetes?' Dana asked. He turned to her.
'My grandfather had it.' He said in deep thought. Obviously the picture of Dana, Rory, and Tori all hugging and smiling at the camera resembled some kind of close bond.
'This picture is umm—your uhh—your last name wouldn't happen to be Gilmore would it?' he asked nervous.
'No.' she shook her head. He let his breath go.
'I didn't think—'
'It's Dugrey, which if my guess it right, is yours too. And your middle name is Christopher I presume too.'
'Dana Lorelai Christina Dugrey.' He whispered. His eyes had tears in them.
'I guess meeting in Connecticut isn't really necessary now.' Dana said trying to lighten the mood.
'I so feel like Dennis Quaid in the Parent Trap right now. I had my daughter with me and I didn't even realize it.'
'I told my real dad that I thought of him as a dad, when you were actually my dad.'
'And it all started because you needed something to eat.' He laughed remembering. She smiled and saw him make a movement towards her.
'Come here.' he said a tear cascading down his cheek. She bit her lip and moved into his welcoming hug. They stayed like that until the phone rang bringing them the news that would make them no longer apart.
