Troubles of the Heart

Reviewers- Thanks so much, you guys completely rock my world. I don't know why you would stick with me for so long, I'm a nut. Well, just a little bit.

Peanutbutterluver1399- whoa, that is creepy, and a complete coincidence. grammar? pssh! well, I'm sending it to my beta, hopefully she'll fix all of my itty bitty errors, unlike hers cough cough, heehee.

Blondiegrl, smile1, lilturtlegrl7, Coffeegrl, MaggieMuggs, - thanks you guys, I love you all sooo much! You guys rock my world too!

Mystified Dreamer- that review soo made my day, and thanks for saying that. After I took that ELA, and when my teacher went to go correct them another teacher said my writing was captivating and I was like "pssh, yea right." But oh well, I'll get your chapter to you as soon as I can, promise!

Preciousbabyblue- Hmm.. you are soo right about that. Chris did have his chance, but you'll have to read on to find out... wow, being evil IS fun.

QuEEnSeRb716- yea, well you did give me that cold. And I promise, you will get your english toffee cappuchino and toffee glazed cappuchino from Timmy Ho's. (BTW, Tim Hortons is totally the best place to get coffee, and if its not national, haha to you all who don't have it!)

mar0506- you silly silly girl! No, I didn't have a snow day, my school is stupid and we never close. No, you didn't make me cry for a bad reason, but for a very very good reason!

Callista NicTeryn- you're right, he does have a thing for self punishment. He just doesn't know when to stop.

Zerabel- yea, well your grammar DOES suck. Just send it to me before you update doofus.

Ok, now if any of you have special requests for you special virtual treats, let me know. Zerabel gets her special Triple Shot Espresso (cuz she likes that high). QuEEnSeRb716 gets her English Toffee Cappuccino and Toffee Glazed donut from Timmy Ho's. Since the rest of you have no say yet, you guys can get Iced Caps (cappuccinos) and cookies and skittles.

A/N- Well, I'm sorry I took so long to update. The last few weeks have sucked sooo much, and I'm moving this weekend. So, hopefully it won't take me as long. Oh, and what happens to Jess in this chapter, it's not my fault, it's QuEEnSeRb716's fault. She wouldn't let me make Jess a bad guy, so if you want to pretend Jess's the bad guy, go ahead. Oh and thanks to all of those who put me on their favorites and authors alert. That makes me feel sooo special. And those of you who don't review, if you guys want anything special, let me know. I'm all for the pleasing.

Chapter 10- 'Catfight!' 'Kirk, those aren't girls!'

Rory and Lorelai were leaning back in chairs, their feet soaking in hot water. Rory did see her father leave, but she was afraid he was coming back. Luke and Tristan were nearby arguing about football. Miss Patt was watching Sookie's 'helpers' carry in the food, while Sookie was organizing. Lane was setting up her 'DJ area' and assorting the CD's.

"So Rory, I was thinking for Luke and I's song..." Lorelai whispered in Rory's ear.

"It's perfect, but Luke will hate it." Rory pointed out.

"Yea, but that's the fun of it." Lorelai shrugged.

"Oh Rory," Tristan said walking over, "I left your mom and Luke's present in the car."

"Would you like me to help you find it?" Rory asked sweetly.

"Why yes, that would be tremendous help." Tristan replied. Rory hobbled over to her slide-ons, and started to walk out.

"I cant believe they left our present in the car," Lorelai scoffed. "Have they no- ohhh."

"What ohhh?" Luke asked.

"They aren't getting our present." Lorelai grinned.

"Then what are they doing-you mean..." Luke looked at her and she nodded, "Ah geez."

Rory tiptoed and kissed Tristan. Tristan had his hand on her back, and the other entwined in her hand. He moved his hand up her back, and when he reached the nape of her neck, she pulled away. "You can't touch my hair." Rory breathed.

"Why not?" Tristan moaned.

"Because it's looking particularly pretty today, and it needs to stay like this." Rory explained. "You on the other hand, have messy hair, so I can do this." Rory ran her fingers through his hair, and kissed him.

"Tease." Tristan called as Rory ran laughing. Tristan grabbed her and they walked into Miss Patty's.

"Oh, the present wasn't in the car." Tristan said puzzled.

"Oh?" Lorelai played along.

"Yeah, it must be around here somewhere." Rory pondered and went over to the table where gifts were beginning to pile up. "Oh, Pssh, here it is!"

"Well thanks for double-checking you had it." Lorelai replied.

"No problem." Rory smiled as she sat next to her mother.

"Tramp!" Lorelai laughed.

"Hey! I obviously couldn't do anything major being dressed up and all." Rory retorted.

"Yea, so was it windy outside? Because Tristan's hair looks like he was in Chicago." Lorelai pointed out.

"Don't you think I'm trying to forget about what you're doing tonight?" Rory shuddered at the thought.

"Touché." Lorelai grinned.

"Rory we have to go greet the guests. They're coming." Sookie giggled.

"No more wine, Hun. Save it for those who don't get drunk after the first glass." Lorelai replied and Sookie stuck her tongue out.

Rory grabbed her shoes, slipped them on, and went to the front door. Many townies passed by, including a very awkward situation with Dean, but none were Christopher. Rory and Sookie were both pleased with this revelation. The celebration could now begin!

The main table was up front, and the rest were scattered about. They would later be pushed aside for dancing. Sookie and Rory stood up to start the toast. "Ok, so I wanted to thank you all for coming. My mom has been waiting for this day for a very long time. I'm so glad she finally found the right person. Luke, you're going to be the best step-dad ever. You were more like my dad anyway. But I swear if you do anything to my mom..." everyone laughed, "Just kidding. So, are you all hungry?" cheers from the crowd. "Well now is the time I would snap my fingers and fancy waiters in bowties would come out with silver platters. However, we have a maid and matron of honor, so you all have to wait for one for speech!" Rory laughed and handed over the microphone.

"I love weddings, I mean, who doesn't? Well, maybe Scrooge, but I'm getting off the subject here. Gosh Lorelai, you look so wonderful, and now I have all married friends, which means two things. One, I get no dish on the news of a bachelorette, and I'm getting old!" everyone laughs. "Now I have an announcement to make. No questions until tomorrow, because it's not my day to shine. I'm pregnant." Sookie exclaimed.

"Sookie!" Lorelai exclaimed. "You're pregnant?"

"Yea." Sookie giggled.

"You can't have alcohol when you're pregnant!" Lorelai replied.

"Really? Well, just one last sip." Sookie turns to the crowd. "To Luke and Lorelai."

"To Luke and Lorelai!" they cheered. Once Sookie took a sip, Lorelai took the glass. "Ok, now you can eat." Sookie snapped her fingers. Everyone was looking for the men in bowties, but they never came. "I said you can eat now!" Sookie yelled and they still didn't come. "Oh for crying out loud!" Sookie ran back out the door.

"Ok, in the meantime, think up names for Sookie's baby!" Lorelai said, and people starting talking amongst themselves.

"Thank God," Lorelai said to Rory, "I think they'll all go nuts if they don't get food soon."

"Yeah," Rory said glancing out the door because she thought she saw a lurking figure outside.

"Who are you looking for?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh, just Sookie," Rory replied quickly.

Little did they know, Christopher was indeed outside. He heard Rory's entire speech and was crushed when she said Luke was more like a father. He saw Sookie coming, along with 40 waiters with food in their hands. So, he hid in the shadows, and sat on the bench. He leaned back and sighed. A tall guy came by sat next to Chris.

"Hey Dean." Chris said.

"Huh?" then Dean looked, "Oh, hey."

"So, here we are, two of the Gilmore Girls' exes, and we're both sulking, while they're both happy." Chris sighed.

"Well, I'm married, and Rory is happy. I mean, I'll always love her, but I'm happy. But all this cheeriness is getting to my head. I'm going to head in, are you coming?" Dean asked.

"Nah, see you." Chris waved and Dean headed in. It wasn't his moment to shine.

Once dinner was over, it was time for Lorelai and Luke's dance. "Hey, what is our song, anyway?" Luke asked.

Lorelai grinned from ear to ear until she heard teeny bop music fill Miss Patty's studio. Lorelai bopped to the music holding Luke's hands.

If you wanna be my lover

You gotta get with my friends

Make it last forever

Friendship never ends

If you wanna be my lover

You have got to give

Taking is too easy

But...

Just then Luke was smacked hard by Chris. "Chris!" Lorelai yelled. "What the hell are you doing?"

"You don't want to be with him! You want me! Come on Lor, it's not to late to get your marriage annulled." Chris yelled.

"Ass." Luke ram sacked Chris.

Just then Jack and Kirk walked in the studio after cleaning up, "Catfight!" Kirk yelled.

"Kirk, those aren't girls!" Jackson sighed.

"Tristan, help! I have too much poof to fight!" Lorelai yelled referring to her dress. Tristan ran in, but Chris started punching whomever was around. Dean decided to run in and tackle Tristan.

"Oh my God, Dean! Get off of him!" Rory yelled, but this just made Dean madder. "Jess, someone, help!" Rory yelled. Jess took his cue, and ran in to get Dean off of Tristan. Dean just kept hitting. Soon it was one big rumble. Nobody knew who was hitting who.

"STOP!" Lorelai and Rory screamed loudly together, and they did. Tristan and Luke were hurt the most, while Chris, Dean and Jess came out with a few bruises and scrapes.

"Chris, get out, leave me alone, and don't come back!" Lorelai yelled.

"Dean, you too!" Rory cried out frustrated. They both walked out and Rory ran over to Tristan and hugged him tight.

"I'm so sorry, are you ok?" she muffled into his chest.

Tristan chuckled, "I'll be ok, don't worry." he stroked his hand up and down her back.

"Thanks Jess." Rory turned to face him.

"Yea, whatever." Jess replied, and walked away.

"I don't know what I did." Rory said.

"I know, it's ok." Tristan pulled her close, hugging her tight.

Meanwhile, Luke and Lorelai were having a similar conversation

"Oh Luke, I'm so sorry he did that to you! Are you okay?" Lorelai clung to him like a little child.

"I'll be ok, thanks for sending Tristan to try and help." Luke smiled, holding her.

"Hey I had too much poof. If I had a slinky dress, I would have been out there in a heartbeat." Lorelai laughed.

"So you're not mad?" Luke asked.

"You didn't do a thing. You were perfectly innocent. All you did was defend yourself. Now, would you like to dance?" Lorelai smiled at him.

Sure." Luke replied, and held the love of his life in his arms.

Tristan?" Rory said, while her head was lying on his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Tristan replied contently.

"I love you so much." Rory said, nuzzling her head into his chest.

"I love you so much too." Tristan leaned his head on top of hers, although his cheek was bruised. They loved each other. She loved him, and was the first to say it. This was true, genuine love. Not fake love, or a love blinded by greed and lust. Lorelai could see it in his eyes. Tristan loved her daughter. Rory truly loved him. Not many find love so early in their life. Rory was a lucky one. 'But it's not luck,' a voice in Lorelai's head said, 'It's fate.'

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai said.

"Yea?" he replied.

"Why don't you dance with Rory? I want to have a dance with Tristan." Lorelai said.

"Okay, but don't kill him. Rory loves him." Luke said walking over with Lorelai to Rory and Tristan.

"Hey guys, mind if I dance with Tristan." Lorelai asked.

"Sure mom. Luke, shall we?" Rory held her arm out, and Luke linked his arm, and they walked away.

"So Tristan, you love my daughter." Lorelai said when they began dancing.

"Yes I do, very much." Tristan said warily, not sure where this conversation was going.

"And she loves you?" Lorelai asked.

"She just told me that." Tristan noted.

"Well kid, when you are with my daughter, you're with me, Luke, and my parents. My parents, of course, already love you. You are of good breeding, and a prominent family. However, you will sometimes see the scary side of Emily Gilmore. I'm warning you now. Welcome to the Gilmore girl life." Lorelai replied. "Oh and if you hurt my kid, I will personally dig your grave."

"Duly noted," Tristan grinned. "I will never hurt your daughter."

"Well good," Lorelai said. "I officially dub thee, a Gilmore!"

"Thanks, now as much as I love dancing with you, do you mind if I dance with Rory?" Tristan asked sweetly.

"Well, here she comes." Lorelai nodded as Luke came over with Rory.

"Bye bye lovebirds!" Lorelai chirped as she dragged Luke off.

"I missed you." Tristan said holding her close.

"I was only gone for five minutes!" Rory laughed.

"Well, I still missed you!" Tristan replied. Rory lifted her head to kiss Tristan softly, and Tristan soon responded. They were fully making out. They didn't care who saw until they heard Lorelai scream,

"SHIELD MY EYES!"

A/N- Hee hee, wasn't that a funny chapter, now I'll give you all a preview of the next chapter.

Chapter 11- It's Girls Night In, and You're Not Invited!

"Come on, we're going full on pom-pom pigtails, frilly nightgowns, and Light as a Feather/Stiff as a Board." Lorelai whined.

Toodles!

A special message

For everyone's information, it was not QuEEnSeRb716's fault that Jess was not the evil guy who tried to beat up Tristan in this chapter, it is the evil music of Beautiful Soul! By listening to that song, it made QuEEnSeRb716 think like a mad woman and make TiCkLeDpInK22 do that. Not that this is QuEEnSeRb716 or anything.
