Remember Me, My Love?

Disclaimer- I own my lifetime card to the insane asylum (just kidding... no really)

Reviewers- Oh, gosh, I love you all so much. You all made my day immensely better. I know I said this was probably the last one before I had a beta, but I lied. I truly needed to put this chapter up. This will be the last update, unless I write like seven pages, in two days, which is very not likely.

spicygirl- thanks bunches!

royaleve- Well, I hope you're not too mad. I worked long and hard on this chapter!

troryaddict- See, it didn't take me too long. It usually takes me way longer.

shrtscrqt- I love long chapters too. This one's a bit shorter, but still fairly long. Oh, does the crqt stand for croquet?

tickle582- Oh no, he sooo doesn't stop her, LoL.

sooty7sweep- We won't being seeing a white dress for awhile (but the prospect of one was in the air for this chapter, except for that dire situation.) I loved the 'eh-ma-god- too. We will definetly be seeing more of Carl ;)

smile1- I loved the last two lines too. They made me really happy :grins:

riotgirllina- well, it's not all goodness, but they're still some in there ;)

Callista Wolfwood- You should feel loved.

A/N- So, this didn't take me long at all, did it? I mean, it usually takes me what, two weeks at the least. I loved the prospect of this chapter, so I hurried. The dire situation is in this chapter. Not all will be explained. Love you bunches. Oh, and two really twisted lines were written by my wacked out friend. I left my notebook in her hands, while I did afternoon mail for school (scary scary, my poor notebook) Hint, the lines are in bold. It's a lot of dialogue this chapter, so I apologize.

Chapter 14- Hands-On Collision of the Serious Kind

School was now over, and Rory moved back home for the summer. Tristan basically lived there too. Most of his clothes were there, and he slept over there almost every night. Although, Lorelai claimed if she heard any 'funny business', surveillance cameras would be installed, and Luke was constantly giving Tristan dirty looks. The two were thoroughly enjoying the few months off. They spent their day together, talking and laughing. Each day, they tried to do something fun. Sometimes they went to the beach, the bookstore, once they even went to the aquarium. However, lately Rory has received random calls. Paris wanted to go shopping, and Lane wanted her to listen to her band's new set. It usually kept her occupied for quite awhile. The problem was, Rory thought Tristan didn't care she left. He'd kiss her good-bye, say he'd miss her, and wave her off.

Moreover, Rory didn't know what Tristan was planning, or the fact that Lorelai, Luke, Paris, and Lane were all in on it. He needed time to shop, plan, prepare. He didn't want Rory to leave, but he needed her too.

Today, Rory was asked to work at the diner for Luke because Lane took the day off.

"Tris, I'm going to work for Luke for a few hours," Rory called out. Tristan walked up to her and kissed her sweetly.

"I'll miss you," he hugged her loosely.

"Really?" Rory relaxed in his embrace.

"Really, now you go work your butt off. I'll come for lunch," Tristan just held her.

"Okay," Rory kissed him, "Bye." As soon as she sped off, Tristan got into his own car.

"Hey Luke," Rory walked into the door, "where do you need me?"

"Take orders, fill cups, napkins, silverare, that sort of thing," Luke replied.

"Okay," Rory walked behind the counter and went to Kirk, "Coffee Kirk?"

"Yes please. Now that I live with LuLu, I can drink coffee. Before, my mother would take away my Beach Boys' CD again," Kirk rambled.

"Here you go," Rory laughed as she poured his cup of coffee, "Are you ready to order?"

"Six pancakes - two chocolate chip, two blueberry, two apple,- fried potatoes, and bacon," Kirk informed her.

"Why do you need so much food?" Rory asked.

"Because I just had sex with Lulu, and now I am very hungry," Kirk replied.

"Umm..ok, I'll be right on that Kirk," Rory walked away, almost twitching, "Uh, here's Kirk's order."

"Oh dear Lord, did he talk about him and Lulu again? I swear that guy doesn't know when to stop," Luke said angrily.

"I'll be okay. I'm just a little, uh, scarred," Rory continued to work and avoided Kirk at all costs. Soon, it was lunch and Tristan was there as promised. Although, something seemed different about him, as if something huge was lifted off his shoulders, and he seemed really excited.

"Hey babe," Rory kissed him, "Our lunch will be up soon."

"Ok," Tristan said, "So, while you were gone, your grandmother called. Dinner's at 5."

"That's weird," Rory pondered.

"So do you want to go out after?" Tristan asked with a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Sure, sounds great," Rory smiled.

"Here you go," Luke said, placing two plates in front of them.

"Thanks Luke," Rory replied.

"So, I get off at 3, and my mom won't be home. So..." Rory began.

"Movie?" Tristan asked.

"Of course," Rory replied. The two ate and soon Tristan was becoming angry because Kirk kept yelling at him, 'YOU CAN'T LOVE LULU! SHE'S MY LULU!'

"Kirk, what the hell are you talking about?" Tristan fumed, "I love Rory, not Lulu."

"Well, it says you love Lulu," Kirk pointed out.

"Where?" Tristan asked confused.

"On your back," Kirk crossed his arms. Tristan reached an arm over his shoulder, and took the sign off his back.

"Hmm, 'Tristan and Lulu equals crazy love.' and it's in Rory's handwriting. Mary, honey baby, did you have anything to do with this?" Tristan asked patiently.

"Umm... I plead the fifth," Rory giggled.

"Yea, I figured," Tristan replied, throwing a french fry at her.

"Oh buddy it's on!" Rory squealed as a french fry went down her shirt. They threw french fries and all the while laughing. Rory went up to him, and nuzzled her head into his chest, "I'm sorry."

"You're out of french fries, aren't you?" Tristan asked.

"Yes, but I still love you," Rory laughed and she kissed him. Rory's hands lightly grazed his chest, and Tristan's hands remained firmly on her waist.

"Surveillance cameras!" Lorelai screamed, "God, I can't even go into my husband's diner without being scarred."

"Sorry mom, I have to get back to work anyway," Rory turned to face Tristan, "Bye."

"Bye Mary," Tristan kissed her.

"Ah! Come on!" Lorelai screamed.

"Bye," Tristan said.

"Bye," Rory replied and turned to Lorelai when he left, "You immature baby."

"Yes, yes, I know," Lorelai sat on a stool as Rory stood behind the counter.

"I refuse to serve you," Rory stuck her tongue out, "Luke, Cruella's here."

"Huh?" Luke said in the kitchen, and walked out, "Oh, hey Lor," Lorelai kissed him.

"Hypocrite," Rory muttered as she went to serve another table.

"What's wrong with her?" Luke asked.

"I screamed when I saw Rory and Tristan making out in the diner," Lorelai shrugged.

"I swear that kind cannot control himself. He needs a leash," Luke looked like he was about to murder Tristan.

"Hey, it takes two to tango, and make-out. You would know," Lorelai replied grinning. Luke just shook his head, and walked away.

"Mom, Tristan and I are leaving. You two don't be late," Rory called to Lorelai upstairs.

"Yea, okay, we're leaving soon," Lorelai replied giggling.

"Run before you hear moaning," Rory whispered.

"What?" Tristan asked, "Oh, eww!" He ran outside and to his car. Rory laughed and walked to his car.

When the two got there, obviously Luke and Lorelai weren't. "I'm afraid to go in," Tristan said.

"Do you want to wait here?" Rory asked sweetly, "At least until my mom and Luke get here?"

"Uh-huh, but what to do to pass the time by?" Tristan asked sweetly.

"Oh I wonder," Rory pondered, and put a finger to her mouth. Tristan kissed her finger, and then pulled it away to kiss her mouth completely. Their lips parted and soon Rory was on Tristan's lap, her hands in his hair. They didn't hear Luke and Lorelai pull up, or get out of the car. However, they did hear Lorelai knock on the window. They jumped and blushed an insane shade of red. Rory opened the door, and hopped out of the car, Tristan following.

"Um, hi," Rory broke the awkward silence.

"You two, did you take horny pills this morning?" Lorelai teased.

"Mom," Rory gritted through her teeth, "Need I remind you of what you were doing before you left?"

"Nope, let's go eat dinner," Lorelai walked up, "I'm excited for dinner."

"Me too," Luke and Lorelai chimed in.

"Umm, okay," Rory looked at them oddly as she rang the doorbell.

"Hello, hello," Emily chirped as she opened the door.

"Hi Grandma," Rory said stepping into the door.

"Hello Emily, pleasure to see you," Tristan took her hand and kissed it.

"Hi mom," Lorelai said.

"Hello Emily," Luke said.

"Well now that we've all said hello, let's go into the living room," Emily replied.

"So, Grandma, how come you guys had dinner early tonight?" Rory asked as she sat down on the couch.

"Amy Cooper-Nichol is having a cocktail party and we can't miss it," Emily explained.

"Hello everyone," Richard said as he walked into the room.

"Hello," everyone replied. Richard sat down and they were all grinning like Cheshire Cats. Rory sat back and looked at them. It was going to be a long dinner.

333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

"Bye you two," Emily told Tristan and Rory at the door.

"Have a wonderful evening," Richard added and they shut the door.

"Well they were all acting weird," Rory shrugged.

"I don't think so," Tristan replied, "Now come on Mary, we're going to be late."

"For what?" Rory asked as he started the car.

"Can't tell," Tristan grinned cheekily. They argued like this until Rory tried to grab the steering wheel.

"What are you doing?" Tristan screamed.

"I want to help you drive," Rory explained, and Tristan still looked confused, "My mom used to let me steer for her when I was little. This has been the first time in a long time that I've been in a passenger seat."

"Well, steer on," Tristan nodded. Rory and him went smoothly until a car was driving in their direction, on the wrong side of the road.

"Let go Rory!" Tristan yelled quickly. Rory automatically let her hand go. Tristan tried to swerve around but failed. The next thing Rory knew, she saw the car back up and drive away, but caught the license plate- Mad Man. Yea, he sure was a mad man.

Rory looked to her left and screamed. Tristan was bleeding profusely, and he was cut all over. She quickly dialed 911. "Hello, please help me," she starts sobbing, "A car hit us and my boyfriend's really hurt," she's still sobbing, "We're on the corner of Mill and Robie," she sniffs, "Hurry," Rory then fainted.

"Miss! Miss!" a paramedic tapped her window. Rory snapped out of her seat. She told the paramedics information about Tristan, and they loaded him into the ambulance. When Rory was climbing in, the police officer stopped her.

"Miss, we need to speak with you," the police officer began.

"No! I'm going to the hospital with my boyfriend! I'm going to sit by his side the entire time!" she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Miss, I know how hard this is, just let me talk to you, and I will escort you to the hospital myself," the police officer bargained, "Ok?"

Rory nodded and he walked her away from the scene, "So what were you doing before you were hit?"

"He was driving us somewhere. I'm not exactly sure because he was surprising me," Rory smiled.

"What specifically happened?" he asked.

"A car was driving the opposite way on our side of the road, and Tristan, my boyfriend, swerved to the right and the car hit his side of the car. Then it took off," Rory explained sniffling.

"Do you know anything about the person who hit you?" was the last question.

"The license plate was 'Mad Man,' and that's all I know," Rory explained, "Can I go to the hospital now?"

"Yes we can," he lead her to the car, and they drove off in pursuit of the hospital. When they got there, he lead her to a desk, "Hi, this little lady was in an accident. She needs to get a checkup, just in case, but first she needs to call her family and see her husband, Tristan Dugrey."

"Right this way, Mrs. Dugrey," the nurse replied.

"Why did you say he was my husband?" Rory asked.

"It was the only way to get you in," the officer explained, "I'll call you when I know anything."

"Bye," Rory smiled. The nurse led her to Tristan's room. She saw him and cried. He was almost covered head to toe in scratches with wounds all over. She looked at him and brushed a lock off his face.

"Hey hun," she began, "you really need to feel better so we can go home and finish off our summer. Maybe we can do this date in a few days once you feel all better. Babe, I love you," she then got out her cell phone.

"Hey mom, Tristan and I were in an accident, and he's really hurt. Please come, bring Luke, and call Paris," Rory hung up and began to call Mr. and Mrs. Dugrey, but she got their answering machine. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dugrey, this is Rory Gilmore, Tristan's girfriend. Uh, Tristan and I were in a car accident, and he's really hurt. I'm sure he would appreciate you coming. Bye," Rory hung up just as the doctor came in.

"Hello, Rory Gilmore?" the doctor asked, and Rory nodded, "I'm Dr. Benson, and I need to give you a checkup."

"Ok, but do you have any news about Tristan?" Rory asked wiping her eyes.

"No," the doctor shook his head sadly, "we will shortly."

"Wel if Lorelai Gilmore-Danes, Luke Danes, Paris Gellar, or a Mr. and Mrs. Dugrey come, show them Tristan's room, and that I'm in a checkup," Rory mentioned.

"Sure thing," the doctor replied and he lead her into an examining room. Once the exam was over, the doctor said he'd be back shortly with her results.

Someone knocked on the door, and it was Lorelai, "Babe are you okay?"

"I don't know, I"m still waiting for Dr. Benson to come back," Rory explained. They talked until Dr. Benson came in.

"Well at least your baby is all right," the doctor told her.

"Excuse me?" Rory screeched.

"Yea, excuse me?" Lorelai piped in.

"You didn't know? You're almost two months along," the doctor looked at her.

"No, no, no, no. This cannot be happening," Rory cried, "I need to see Tristan. Is he awake yet?"

"Umm, about that," the doctor began, "there's something I need to tell you..."

A/N 2- My first cliffhanger. I'm so proud. Yes, I know it's quite typical, the whole Rory being pregnant thing. I, however, have never read a story where they took a twist like mine is. And no, he's not going to die. Hope ya'll enjoyed it.
