Anxiety:

'I'm getting fat!' Rory complained trying to button her jeans. Tori walked over to her and laughed.

'Mom, have you ever been able to close those jeans?'

'Yes! I mean yes these are the tightest jeans I've ever owned but I was able to close them just two weeks ago!'

'Well at least you have the renewal thing in two days so you wont get much fatter until then.' She said shrugging. Rory gaped and watched as Tori left the room. Rory gave up and put on a pair of fleece pants. She left her room and saw Tristan and Dana playing cards as Tori flipped through the TV channels.

'Hey don't you guys have school today?' Rory asked confused.

'Snow day.' Dana said cheekily.

'Huh, lucky you guys.' Rory mumbled.

'What time is your shift?' Tristan asked.

'Four.' She said frowning.

'Oh, is this that 8 hour shift?'

'Won't see any of you until 12:30.' Rory said.

'Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean don't you have your 6 am shift tomorrow?'

'I'll be fine, you worry wart.' Tristan sighed and continued to play with Dana. Rory went over and sat down. Tori had stopped on an entertainment channel.

'Welcome back to Celebrities Unraveled. I'm your host, Tim Sperry, and today we've got a great show for you. We're going to be doing something a little bit different today; today we're going to reminisce in old stars.'

'This is boring.' Tori commented.

'Let's see which random people they pick!' Rory said stopping Tori.

'Our first celebrity, is one that we haven't seen in over 15 years. Although she only starred in one movie, we will always remember her.' A picture was shown on the big screen behind the man.

'Rory Gilmore, everybody!' An audience clapped.

'Oh my god.' Rory said wide-eyed. Tori sat staring at the TV. Dana and Tristan walked over to see what happened and immediately sat on the floor to see what happened.

'Unfortunately we weren't able to get her into the show this morning, but we do have some inside scoop. Just for all of you people, who aren't familiar with this show, feel free to call in any time. The lines are open and we'd be glad to answer any questions you guys have about her.' The screen faded to a movie clip.

'Sometimes I wonder if my life was supposed to be like this.' Emma said quietly. Emma and Pete are sitting on a sofa drinking something hot.

'What do you mean?'

'I love Kerry with all my heart, I do, but sometimes I wish I could have a redo, you know?' Emma asked, a tear sliding down her cheek.

'I know exactly what you mean.' Emma looked at him and then straight ahead.

'I wish I could get rid of the whole Bryan fiasco.' Emma said randomly.

'Bryan just spells disaster.'

'It doesn't make it hurt any less.' She said softly and wiped away the falling tears. Pete frowned and put his arms around her body comfortingly.

'Everything will be fine, I promise you that.' He whispered soothingly. She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder, slowly falling asleep.

'Emma?' Pete whispered. She didn't answer so he knew she had fallen asleep.

'I'll make sure everything will be fine. Just sleep well, beautiful.' Pete said softly and kissed her hair. The screen faded back into the host and the studio.

'That was a clip from her movie, Summer Boys. Man, even though I'm a guy, I had tears in my eyes during this scene. Anyways, we have a call. Brianne from Pennsylvania—you're on the air.'

Hi, I was just wondering about that whole divorce thing. I mean I heard she got a divorce but still had kids with her ex-husband. What's up with that?

'Ahh good question. She had gotten pregnant about a year after the divorce was finalized and then three years later got pregnant with her second child. Just recently though, and this is brand new, Rory and her ex found out the divorce papers weren't completed so in fact their kids were not out of wedlock.'

'What? How did they know that?' Rory asked mortified. Tristan cringed at the TV show and held Rory's hand.

'Alright, Tamara from New Jersey—you're on the air.'

Yes I was wondering if it was known what's happening with her these days? Like did she get remarried or something?

'Thank you Tamara. In fact we do know, Rory and her ex are planning to renew their vows and remain a family in the very near future, and no, Rory did not find someone knew. Next we'll go to a Mary from Connecticut—you're on the air.'

Uh yea, so how do you get all of this information?

'We have inside sources and—'

Because I really don't think you should know all of this information, I mean what about my life? That stuff is personal! Rory shut her mouth quickly.

' I do believe we have a poser on the line, ladies and gentleman.'

Is that so Tim Sperry? Would you like evidence?

'Well what would you like to offer?'

A kick in the ass, or even better I'll take away your business, because this is NOT your business! Rory slammed the phone down and looked at her family's shocked expressions.

'What?' she asked innocently.

'N-nothing.' Tori stuttered and shut off the TV. They all sat their in an awkward silence. They all looked at Rory for some kind of explanation. They hadn't even heard her pick up the phone let a lone dial the number. They found out when Rory started to talk, and it sounded through the speakers of the TV.

'I, umm I think I should start getting ready for work.' Rory said suddenly standing up.

'Mary, it's 10 am, I think you still have time.' Rory turned around and looked at the ground.

'I think I should try and get some more hours.' She said and then walked away. Tristan sighed and went after her. The door to their bedroom was shut, and he opened it in time to see Rory looking in the mirror. He shut the door quietly.

'What?' he asked turning her to himself.

'They had no business doing that.' Rory said softly.

'You chose that life when you agreed to the offer. This could have happened back then, and would you have felt violated?'

'No, but that's different.'

'How so?'

'This is many, many years later. No one needs to know that I'm going to get my vows renewed but those who it concerns and it doesn't concern half the world!'

'Just…forget about it, okay? It's over, no one will remember it tomorrow, and everyone will move on with his or her lives. Just think about those other stars that they'll show today.' Rory frowned. Tristan had a point. She looked at the clock and sighed.

'I'm just cranky and moody, and I have the thing in two days and that doesn't help—'

'You're nervous?' Tristan asked smiling. She shrugged.

'About what?'

'Something going wrong, not being able to kiss you, choking up, throwing up from morning sickness…oh god, what if I throw up?' Rory started to panic.

'Whoa, slow down. YOU WILL BE FINE.' he said slowly.

'You're great at kissing, so just pretend it's just you and me, and I'm sure your morning sickness wont be to horrible if it's even there, and nothing will go wrong. Plus even if something does, who cares? We don't have to 6-dozen bouquets of flowers for it to be special. You just being there makes it special.' Tristan said sincerely. Rory looked at him with tears in her eyes and then stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist and held him close. He responded to her and held her close and kissed her hair.

'There's someone at the door.' Dana said coming into their room after knocking and waiting a few seconds. You never know what they could be doing. They untangled from each other and walked into the foyer. There was a blonde headed woman standing there with her back turned to them. She was admiring the beautiful decorations that they had put up.

'Can we help you?' Rory asked. The woman turned around and both Rory and looked confused. She was pretty and looked vaguely familiar. She was young around mid twenties.

'You're Rory, right?' the woman asked.

'Yes…'

'Can I talk to you? I mean alone or something?' Rory looked at her suspiciously and took her farther into the house into a bedroom. They sat down on the bed.

'Beautiful house you have here.' she said.

'Thank you. So you know who I am, who are you?'

'Georgia.' She said looking down.

'I don't know anyone named Georgia.'

'You do, you just haven't seen me in over 20 years.' She said fidgeting. Rory looked confused and then her eyes went wide in huge shock.

'Gigi?' she asked softly. Georgia nodded.

'Oh my god.' Rory said hugging her tightly. Georgia hugged back tightly.

'My god, you've grown up.' Rory commented. Georgia smiled.

'You look really good too.' She told Rory.

'So what is my half sister doing here, in Hartford?'

'We were never close, and I'm sorry about that.'

'What?'

'Dad should've made sure we were comfortable with each other. I've always wanted a sister, and up until now, I never realized that I've always had one.' Rory tilted her head. She had honestly forgotten about Georgia too, and it really was her dad's fault…speaking of him, where was he?

'So you're here because you realized that you've always had a sister, and you wanted the chance to actually have me as one?' Rory asked trying to understand.

'Basically yea, I mean I was talking to my mom and I realized that I had no family that's really been there my whole life, and then I thought about the extremely accomplished half sister I had and how I never gave her a chance.'

'Well I'm glad you're giving me that chance now. So hey, would you like to meet my family? You're brother-in-law, and you're two nieces?' Georgia smiled widely.

'I'd love to.' They smiled and hugged once more before Rory brought her to the living room where Tristan was in the middle of tickling Dana and Tori was frozen, eyes wide and mouth slightly parted.

'Hey you guys?' Tristan stopped at Rory's voice and Dana was appreciative and sat up, then looked at Tori before laughing hysterically. They all turned to Tori and Rory frowned. Tristan smiled and stood up. He walked over to Tori and moved her. She moved slowly, never taking her eyes off the wall. Georgia looked on confused. Tori sat down on the sofa, having not noticed the new comer. Tristan went back to the spot where Tori was, but now had a tissue in his hand, ready to hit the wall with it. Rory shouted.

'Wait!' Rory said running forward. Tristan stopped and looked up at Rory.

'Don't kill the poor spider! I mean, that's cruel, and why do that when it can go back to it's family?'

'So it can make more family?' Tori asked petrified. They all looked at her.

'Well technically I guess, but I meant you want to kill the poor thing for just scaring you? Clowns scare me, but I've never killed one.' Rory said and then furrowed her eyebrows. Tristan stood up and took a plastic cup from the table and scooped it up and then deposited it outside. Tori visibly relaxed.

'Who are you?' Tori asked now noticing Georgia.

'Guys you know your grandfather, right?'

'Of course, Grandpa Luke.'

'No the other one, my dad.'

'Oh yea. What's his name again? Craig?' Dana asked thinking.

'Chris. Well when I was a teenager, my dad was with another woman and they had a baby together. Well this is my half sister, Georgia, as well as your aunt.' They both looked confused as well as Tristan who had never known about Georgia.

'So we're related to her?' Dana asked.

'Technically yes.'

'Why is our family so fucked up?' Dana asked.

'Because we're your parents.' Tristan said.

'So yea, Gigi, this is my husband, Tristan, and our two daughter's Dana and Tori.' Rory said pointing. Georgia nodded and shook hands with Tristan and awkwardly hugged Dana and Tori.

'Why have we never heard of you?' Tori asked.

'Because your mom and I forgot about each other over the years because our dad never really did anything with both of us.' Georgia explained sadly. Tori nodded.

'Well, Georgia, do you have a place to stay?' Rory asked.

'Yea, I'm going to check into a hotel once I leave here.'

'Tristan?' Rory asked. Like she even needed permission.

'Go ahead.' He said smiling. Rory smiled back.

'Stay here. We have a few guest rooms, and it's pointless to stay in a hotel when we have more then enough room. Plus, your young, save your money for something important.'

'Thanks, Rory.' Georgia said gratefully.

'Of course.' The phone rang. Dana picked it up.

'Hello?'

'Hey is Dana there?' a boy asked.

'Uh I'm Dana.'

'Hey, it's Ben.' Dana's jaw dropped and her eyes opened wide. Dana covered the mouth piece with her hand.

'It's Ben…what should I do?'

'Talk to him?' Rory asked. Dana gave her a look before uncovering the mouth piece.

'Hey.'

'So I was wondering if you'd like to do something today? You know since there's no school or anything.'

'Umm it's kinda snowing.'

'I have my car, it's an SUV,'

'I know.' Dana said nervously. She had memorized everything she could about him.

'So what do you say?'

'Sure.' Dana said immediately.

'Great, I'm outside.' And the phone was dead. Dana gaped at the phone and ignored the expectant looks from her family. She rushed to the window and indeed saw his Rav 4 parked right in front of her house.

'Umm Ben asked if I could do something today, and he called from outside of our house, and I'm still in my pajama's and Ben just asked me out…kinda, and wow this is amazing, and I need to get changed—' Rory placed her hand over Dana's rambling mouth and smiled at her.

'Relax.' Rory said. Dana took a deep breath after Rory removed her hand.

'I need to get ready.'

'Just go in your pajama's.' Rory suggested. Dana looked mortified at the thought and then heard his car horn. Then she smiled.

'If he doesn't approve, it's his fault.' Dana said waving good bye after stuffing her feet inside her boots and grabbing her coat. The door shut behind her, and they heard a car pull away moments after.

'Did I say she could go?' Rory asked realizing that no one had even said she could go.

'I don't think you did. So, was this her crush?' Georgia said.

'Yea.' Tristan said smiling. Tori was just smiling and shaking her head.

'You do realize, mom, that you just told Dana to go on her first date ever wearing her pajama's, right?' Rory's eyes went wide as she started to laugh sheepishly.

'Oops?' Rory offered. They all laughed and they calmed down when the phone rang again.

'Hello?' Tristan answered.

'Hey dad, umm it's okay if I go out, right?' Dana asked.

'Yes, just make sure your new friend comes into the house when he drops you off, and not after 6 pm, please.'

'Got it.' Dana said hanging up.

'So she realized that she never asked?' Rory asked.

'Of course she did.' Once again the phone rang.

'It's like Grand Central Station here.' Tori commented as her mom picked up the phone.

'Hello?'

'Yes, is this my daughter with the incredibly gorgeous husband, and expecting her third child with said man?'

'Hey mom.' Rory said smiling.

'So yea, I'm on my way over and I just wanted to know what you were craving. You know, so I don't get kicked out of my own daughter's house, because that would just be horrible. I think I might even disown you if you did that—'

'Mom?'

'Yea?'

'Cool whip. I'm currently craving Cool Whip.'

'Cool Whip? Eww.' Rory could picture her mom's face.

'You asked.'

'Yea, yea. Yea. See you all soon! Say hi to your gorgeous husband for me.'

'You'll see him in a few minutes.'

'I know, just reserve him for me, kay?'

'Gross.' Rory commented as they both hung up.

'Your mom's making claims on me again?' Tristan asked.

'When isn't she?'

'Mom? As in Lorelai?' Georgia asked.

'Yea, my mom.' Rory said. Georgia nodded.

'Mom, can I go outside in the snow?' Tori asked. Rory nodded and watched Tori excitedly go outside.

'Do you mind if I use the bathroom?' Georgia asked.

'Of course not, right through there.' Rory pointed. Georgia nodded and walked away leaving Tristan and Rory alone. He moved to her and hugged her.

'You never told me you had a half sister.' He whispered into her ear. She pulled back and smiled.

'I didn't remember her. I mean I haven't seen her since she was about two.' Her hands were playing with the edges of his soft hair.

'So that would make her how old?'

'About 26.' Rory frowned. Tristan kissed her softly.

'Hey, she didn't remember you either.'

'Tristan, she's my sister, that shouldn't of happened.' He kissed her forehead and rubbed her back.

'Oh, I'm sorry.' They turned there heads to see Georgia's head turned away so she wasn't looking. Rory stayed in his arms but they were no longer wrapped in each other.

'Don't worry about it, we've been caught in worse sights.' Tristan said smiling. Georgia laughed at Rory's pink cheeks.

'So I've been thinking and on Saturday, Tristan and I are having our vows renewed, I'd love and I'm sure Tristan would like it if you came.' Georgia seemed surprised.

'I'd love to.' Georgia said feeling warm inside. Rory was accepting her just like an actual sister—not that Georgia wasn't a form of a sister.

'Great, it's formal wear, kinda like a wedding but I'm not wearing a wedding dress.' Georgia nodded and pointed outside.

'Do you think Tori would mind if I joined her in the snow?'

'Not at all, in fact I'm sure she'd like to have some company.' Georgia nodded and went outside. Tori smiled and allowed her to play with her.

'This is such a weird day.' Rory commented burying her head in his chest.

'But just think about it, one whole week with you all to myself.' Tristan said seductively. Rory smiled and kissed him softly.

'You're great.' She said cupping his face.

'So that means your far more than amazing.'

'I better be.' She said smiling cheekily. Tristan smirked and kissed her hard and long.

'Mmm you taste good.' Rory said licking her lips. It was his turn to smile as he let her taste him again.

I was absolutely flabbergasted by the responses I got! If you reviewed THANK YOU! I tried to hurry and get this chapter done, and another surprise! It might be kinda weird but I couldn't help myself…sorry. Plus, it'll feed into the sequel I write. Yes I will most likely write a sequel. :0) Thanks again for reviewing and as promised, my personalized thanks. Thanks, Kiki.

piper-h-99: of course I will update!

anon101: I'm glad the story is back too! Hopefully it'll stay.

Fallen Heart: I know, which is why I was so upset. You never got my email? Oh no! He didn't propose three times, only twice, but he was going to propose once between the two times. I loved the part with the spider, probably my favorite part of the chapter. I had so much fun writing that because that's exactly how I would react. :0)

purplemoon07: thanks for being honest, that was very mature of you. You actually reviewed and told me that. It's fine that you don't like it, not everyone will and that's okay. Thanks for your honesty though, that means a lot to me. And what are you doing reading a TRORY if you don't like them? lol.

BumpyRider: I know me too. I had I believe 56 emails and I'm like, "WHAT?". Then I realized it was because of my story. Hey what a way to show the stories back though, right:0)

FateGirl: I'm not going to discontinue ANY of my stories. That would suck, especially if i was the reader! So yea thanks!

poopwnsyou: I only had 7 reviews because I had to re upload every single chapter because it got deleted off of but thanks for the comment!

troryforever: it was SUCH a pain uploading 46 chapters again, but I felt i owed it to my reviewers, I mean they made me want to do this story, so it's worth it in the end.

Gilmoregirl7878: I WILL:0)

princetongirl: thank you:0)

Kylie1403: Nothing really changed, and the thing with the email happened to me too. It took FOREVER to delete them all without deleting the ones I wanted. The thing with Rory's baby being sick and stuff, I hadn't realized that Chemo did that too you. I guess that kind of add's to my story though. Since they never meant to get pregnant at all, but I don't think they baby will. Maybe a complication in pregnancy, but I don't have that planned yet. That'll be in the sequel (her pregnancy, etc.), and yes I had all my chapters saved on my computer! I would have been crying hysterically if I had to rewrite them all.

uscrocks: I'm glad. I've got a bit of a dark streak if you didn't notice. :0) I need to have some harmless drama!

OTHlover04: thanks!

KarahBella: I know they're other fics with lyrics, that's what sucks about it, and the whole not being divorced thing wasn't my idea! It was Mrs Boyscout. Thank her. :0)
