Remember Me, My Love?

Reviewers- You all are amazing. I own each and everyone one of you a very special thank you.

GilmoreGirl- Is this soon enough? Trust me, do not expect updates this fast all the time. But nope, you're wrong too.
royaleve (too lazy to sign in)- Eh, I know I am. They're fun to write. I like to keep people on their toes. However, this chapter doesn't end with one. Aren't you happy?
Peanutbutterluver1339- One of those are right. Good job!
peanutbutterrocks- yup, it's actually from that movie, with brittany murphy. When she's crazy and the guy's daughter got kidnapped, and she goes "I'll never tellll... any of you." Can't remember the title for the life of me.

tickle582- ha! That was funny.
A/N- I know, I know, you've become to expect WAY too much of me. Two days! Well, I have no life, and vacation has been slow, and I have lots of time to write sooo... This is a moment you've all been waiting for. Who's at Rory's porch, and will she answer. How will she react! Don't expect this very recent updating for long. School's coming soon, and I will have no time over the weekend. I'm getting my hair done (flips hair wildly) LoL. This chapter really doesn't deal with Tristan as much, but a lot with Rory coping. Enjoy! Oh, and just in case you don't know:
Vanna- Wheel of Fortune; Alec- Jeopardy; Joe- Fear Factor
Chapter 16- I Shine So Bright When You're Around
Rory whipped her head around and scowled, "I thought I told you to stay away from me Dean." She turned back around and began reading.
"No, Rory listen," Dean begged.
"Fine," Rory sat up and put a protective hand on her small stomach.
"I'm sorry for what I did. Lindsay's giving me nothing but crap about it, and she really likes you. She finally believes you don't want me. She really wanted me to apologize-"
"So you're apologizing for Lindsay? Thanks Dean," Rory spat sarcastically. Oh boy, she thought, raging feministic hormones flowing through.
"Well, uh, you see," Dean began.
"I'm going to need a few more vowels here Vanna," Rory spat out again.
"It's perfect!" Dean cried, "Can't you see?"
"I'll take Still Not Getting the Picture Here, Alec," Rory drawled, "I'm on a roll here with the TV shows. Want me to lock myself in a container full of scorpions for the next answer Joe?"
"God, Rory, now that Dristan is comatose, we can get together!" Dean exclaimed.
"You are the stupidest person alive if you think I would ever get together with you after what you did, at my mothers wedding for goodness sake. That was one of the happiest days of her life, and you almost ruined it. I'm carrying his CHILD ok? I love him more then life, so stay the hell away from me!" Rory screamed.
"No, Rory," Dean gripped her shoulders.
"Oww, you're HURTING me," Rory growled.
"Shut up for a minute Rory," Dean snapped.
"Dean, I think it's time you leave," Rory said, gritting her teeth.
"No Rory, I'm not leaving!" Dean yelled.
"Dean, just get the hell out of here," Lorelai yelled, stepping out onto the porch.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't try," Dean pointed, and left in a fury.
"You okay, Rory?" Lorelai asked.
"Yea, I'm fine," Rory nodded vigorously.
"You want to go to Luke's for dinner?" Lorelai asked a bit hopeful. She really wanted Rory to get out of the house.
"Sure," Rory replied after thinking. Lorelai grabbed her purse, and they walked on the beautiful day.
The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and people were smiling. That's right, people stopped whatever they were doing, to smile at Rory passing by. Jackson stopped watering his plants, to smile and wave happily. Taylor stopped sweeping in front of the market, and grinned, going back and forth on his feet, rocking heel to toe. Babette gave Rory a 'my heart goes out to you' smile. Miss Patty dropped her cigarette, along with her long purple-pink holder, and immediately gave Rory an over-bearing hug.
"Damn, I thought I told Luke to tell them to not act differently," Lorelai shook her head.
"Yea, well when has Stars Hollow ever been subtle?" Rory snapped.
"Whoa, hun, you okay?" Lorelai asked, "I haven't seen you this crabby since the first time you broke up with-oh, sorry."
"Yea, I'm fine. I'm just angry. He had no right to-" Rory's voice began to crack.
"I know, now lets eat, okay? We've seen all those who would bother you," Lorelai pointed out.
"True, let's go," Rory replied. They walked in and the first thing they heard was,
"Rory! Rory!"
"Kirk," Lorelai muttered, "How could I forget Kirk?"

Rory spent the last month moping and seeing Tristan. Rory decided to spend her last free Saturday before going back to Yale, at the hospital; not just seeing Tristan, but doing little things around the hospital. She bought lots of flowers, and The Notebook, along with the idea of sharing her love story with other. It helped her to tell others about her and Tristan, their funny beginning, wacky encounter, and beautiful beginning when they started their relationship.
Rory came in, with a little stomach beginning to show, carrying a big bag of flowers, and books. She began in Tristan's room, placing a bouquet of flowers in a vase.
"You know, on the outside, I may seem stronger, but on the inside, I'm breaking in two. But I've cried so much, I don't know if I can cry anymore. It's been so long since I've seen your blue eyes staring back at me. Those beautiful blue orbs in which so much could be seen. The color changed with your emotion. Cadet blue when you were angry. Bright aquamarine when you were happy. Cerulean when you just woke up, and ocean blue when you were with me," Rory smiled, "I'm beginning to show. In a couple of months, we'll know what this little thing is. Here, you want to feel?" Rory placed his hand on your stomach, "Isn't it wonderful knowing we created this thing? So I'm going to leave your hand here will I read the first chapter of The Notebook." Rory situated herself, and began to read,
"Who am I? And how, I wonder, will this story end? The sun has come up, and I am sitting by a window that is foggy with the breath of a life gone by," Rory continued and ended with, "And maybe, just maybe, it will."
"So I'll come back, hopefully tomorrow after I move in with Paris. Bye you," Rory put Burt's Bees on his lips and kissed him. She took her bag and looked for a room with the door open. The first door open had a woman who seemed to be terribly ill, because she seemed to be wheezing as she breathed.
"Hi, I'm Rory, how are you?" Rory asked sweetly as she put some flowers in a vase.
"I'm... Elise," she managed to get out, "I'm not so good. I just got done with chemo."
"Oh, I'm sorry; do you want me to leave so you can rest?" Rory asked.
"No that's okay. You can't do anything about it. So... why are you here?" she asked.
"Well, my boyfriend's in a coma, so I come every day and see him. Today is my last day before I go back to college. So, I decided to spend my day here, visiting him, and others, kind of like a candy striper," Rory explained, sitting on the seat next to her bed.
"Oh that's sad. What do you do... with him?" Elise sputtered.
"Well I tell him things I've done, how much I miss him, and how our baby's doing," Rory replied, rubbing her small stomach.
"Aww. Is it... nice being pregnant?" She asked, wheezing a bit.
"The throwing up isn't fun, but it's great to know that one day something I, and Tristan, created will be in the world," Rory noted.
"That is nice... My husband has always... wanted to try. When I get better, he wants... to try," Elise smiled weakly.
"You really should," Rory smiled, "Well, I have to get going, you take care," Rory replied picking up her bag.
"Bye Rory... please come back," Elise stuttered.
"Maybe I will," Rory smiled and she continued down the hall, where a very old woman lay on a bed, watching a soap opera.
"Hi, I'm Rory," Rory said putting flowers in a vase.
"I'm Rose. What are you doing visiting an old woman like me?" Rose chuckled, then coughed.
"My boyfriend's in the hospital. So, I decided to visit all those who would deal with my pregnant self," Rory smiled.
"Oh having children is so wonderful. It all happens so fast. One moment you're taking care of yourself, and the next, you take care of them first," Rose coughed.
"I can't wait, but pregnancy isn't that fun," Rory scowled.
"Oh, it can be terrible, but it's worth all the pain and suffering," Rose replied.
"I suppose it will be," Rory nodded, "Instead of watching a soap opera, you want to hear mine?"
"Sure, I haven't heard a good story in a," Rose shifted, "long time."
"Well, it all starting back when I was about 16. I was transferring a month in my Sophomore year to Chilton, a very prestigious school. Now, when Tristan makes an appearance, I had already had a pretty bad morning. This girl named Paris already told me she'd make my life a living hell, and my first class so far was a disaster. And in walks Tristan, late, as I came to know, as usual. He sits down and says, 'Well, well, looks like we got ourselves a Mary'..."
"Now I hadn't seen Tristan in about two years, and then I come to find out he's my roommate at Yale. I was completely floored and..."
"That's how I'm where I am," Rory finished, tearing up at all the memories.
"That's very romantic," Rose nodded.
"Miss Rose, you need to be resting," the nurse scolded, walking in the room.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. That's my fault," Rory shook her head fervently, getting her stuff together.
"No, that's all right. Are you related to Miss Rose? It's so nice to see someone finally visiting her," the nurse smiled graciously.
"I'm not, but nobody visits her?" Rory asked sadly.
"Oh they do, but only once a month, and somebody just came in yesterday. I thought maybe her family was finally changing," the nurse proclaimed quietly, as Rose had fallen asleep.
"That's so sad," Rory frowned, "Well I have to keep on going."
"Please come back. Miss Rose really seemed to enjoy your company," the nurse pleaded.
"I think I just might," Rory smiled, and she headed to her final destination, the children's ward.
Some children, she came to see, were bed-ridden. One particular child attracted her eye. A little girl about the age of four was sitting in the corner, reading Owen. She had bright red curls, and sea-green eyes. She seemed separated from the other kids, as they were playing with each other. Rory approached the little girl and squatted to her eye level.
"Hi, I'm Rory," Rory said sweetly, "What's your name?"
"I'm Bella," the girl put her book down and looked at Rory shyly.
"That's a very pretty name," Rory pointed out.
"Thank you," she blushed, "my mommy says it's 'cause I'm so beautiful."
"It's true," Rory smiled, "so why are you in the hospital?"
"My heart's all bad; it's doing something wrong," Bella said sadly, "My mommy says I can't run around, or else my heart'll get worser. How come you're here?"
"I was visiting my boyfriend," Rory replied.
"How come he's here?" she asked curiously.
Rory paused for a moment. She didn't know what to say. She never had to explain the situation to a little child. They wouldn't understand he was in a coma, "He's taking a long nap, and I came to see if he woke up."
"My daddy's taking a long nap too. Except we had a big party for him. He was in a big wood box, and every said good-bye and there was lots of crying," Bella explained. Rory's heart immediately saddened at the girl's naivety.
"So it's just you and your mommy?" Rory asked. She felt terrible for Bella's mom. First she lost her husband, Rory was assuming, and now her daughter's sick.
"Yup, mommy says I'm her little ray of hope," Bella grinned, revealing a gap, indicating she lost a tooth.
"Ooh, you lost a tooth," Rory teased, "that's special."
"Mommy says it means I'm growing up," Bella explained.
"That's right," Rory agreed, "You want to read with me?"
"Yea," Bella grinned. The two of them read of Owen and his yellow blanket. Rory looked at Bella when they were finished.
"I have to leave, but before I go, I have something for you," Rory gave her a bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you, are you going to come back?" Bella asked sweetly.
"I think I just might," Rory replied, "Bye Bella."
"Bye," she replied softly.

"Rory, come on! We have got to get a move on!" Paris yelled. Rory moaned as she turned over in her bed.
"Leave me alone, I'm sleeping!"
"Just because you're hormonal, doesn't mean anything to me!" Paris shouted.
"You're mean," Rory mumbled as she sat up. Trust Paris not to act differently, Rory thought.
"Yea, well I'm not trying to be Miss Mary Sunshine," Paris snipped. Rory got dressed and shuffled into the kitchen.
"Coffee," Rory mumbled.
"Decaf? Sure, let's go to Luke's," Lorelai replied.
"You all will be the death of me," she mumbled.
"Well, Rory, we really have to go," Paris cut in, "Bye Lorelai."
"Bye mom," Rory kissed her mom's cheek.
"Ok, call me when you get there, mid-afternoon, after dinner, before you go to bed..." Lorelai trailed off. Rory just shook her head and they got in the car,
"That's right!" Lorelai shouted, "you better."

Yay, no cliffhangers! I know you're all proud. Hope you enjoyed it. I have no idea when I'll next update, but review please! I'm sorry what I did to Dean, it was just to get him out of the way.
