Summary: In ten years things can change...in a year things can change...heck, in a single night things may change. Read to find out!
Please review and enjoy! Let me know what you think!
PREVIOUSLY:
'Thanks. So how are you? Married, happily...'
'Rory, you'll find someone.'
'I know, but I was asking about you. Kids?'
'Well, Dave doesn't know yet, but I do think I'm pregnant.' Lane said happily.
'Oh my god!!' Rory shouted and hugged her best friend.
'I know! I'm so excited, I'm gonna tell Dave tomorrow. I just wanted you to be the first one to know.'
Searching Harford:
Rory hadn't been getting much sleep the past few weeks. Trinity had two weeks of school left and now was the time when a lot of people would tell her that they had new summer problems and she'd be swamped with appointments. Lane was pregnant and the couple was ecstatic. Rory felt happy for them, she really did.
Rory only had one appointment that day. She was relieved that it was a morning appointment. That meant she could relax the rest of the day, maybe get some errands done. Her client had decided that she wasn't really ready for a relationship, and Rory was trying to help her see why, but wasn't helping. Her client didn't want help anymore but then came back a month later, when Rory had decided that she couldn't help her.
Rory's first stop was the bank. She had just gotten her bills and needed to take out money to pay them. Soon she was on her way to the Hartford police department to ask for papers that she needed to sign. She walked into the small building of offices and into the legal office.
'Brett, I got a call.' Rory said. Brett was the man who dealt with searches and locals.
'Yup, here ya go.' He gave her a packet of papers.
'Thanks.' Rory turned around then faced Brett again.
'You okay?' he asked.
'Yea, umm, could I maybe come back in a few minutes for these? I really have to go pee!' Rory said.
'Of course.' He laughed as she dashed out of the room. He went back to his work, when he heard a knock on the frame.
'Just take them.' He said before looking up. He stood up, and observed the person who was definitely not Rory, and could never be.
'Hi, can I help you?' Brett asked pointing to a chair so the visitor could sit.
'Yea, umm, I was wondering if I could maybe have a search for a person.'
'Umm, sure.' He got up and put the packet of paper's in the slot outside his door, so Rory wouldn't interrupt him.
'What's the name, and do they live in Hartford?'
'Well, I'm almost positive she lives in Hartford, but Lorelai Gilmore?'
'Lorelai Gilmore? I hope you realize that there are three Lorelai Gilmore's.'
'Three?'
'Yes, well now there's two. The eldest passed away, so which one?'
'Is there a way you could give me both?'
'Hmm, is there a way you could tell me your name?' he asked but was interrupted by a knock at the door. He called for them to come in.
'Sorry, I forgot my bag.' Rory said coming in quickly then leaving not paying attention to the familiar male.
'Friend?' the man asked.
'You could say that, or you I could just ask you for your name again.'
'Tristan. Tristan Dugrey.'
'Well Tristan, that beautiful woman that just came in would be the youngest one...so far.'
'What?' he asked.
'You came in here and asked for a Lorelai Gilmore, well if you wanted the one that had a baby, wait no, if you wanted the one that raised, wait no that's not right either, if you wanted the Lorelai that graduated high school like 10 years ago, then that would be her. Or, if she had a nickname, like Rory.' He said finally getting it right.
'I, umm, I?'
'Look, she wont wait for you. You gotta go to her, whoever you are.' Brett said dismissing Tristan. Tristan nodded and ran out of the office. He saw her getting into her car, but got out when she saw a man coming with a girl and a baby.
'Jess, what are you doing with my girl?' Rory asked.
'I had early dismissal today!'
'Since when?'
'Since the fire alarm went off.' Trinity said.
'Ahh, thanks Jess.'
'Sure. Adele wanted to be of service.' Jess said gently shaking his daughter who was peacefully sitting in his arms.
'Thanks Adele.' Rory said patting her back.
'Okay, well I knew I'd find you here, so I just wanted your daughter to connect with you.'
'Well, thanks. Trin, you ready to go?' Rory asked and gave jess a thank you hug. Jess play saluted and left in his car.
'Yup, but there's this man, who's staring at you and he's giving me the creeps!' Trinity said making a shaking movement through her body for emphasis. Rory laughed and turned to see, she didn't see anyone she knew, except for one man, but he didn't look familiar.
'Who?' Rory asked. Trinity discreetly pointed and Rory looked at the man again. She squinted her eyes, and then she realized who it was. Blue eyes, blond hair, six foot, amazing build...yup it was him looking even more gorgeous ten years later.
'Mom, who is it?' Trinity asked.
'Babe, umm, could you maybe sit in the car? I'll be right there.' Rory said unlocking the door, and putting the keys in the car so the air worked. Rory locked the door and left her air conditioned car with Trinity in it. She took deep breaths and walked up to him, he was sitting on a bench now, his head hanging, as he stared at the gray pavement.
'It never changes.' Rory said.
'You can stare at it all you want, but it will never change.' He looked up, and then slowly stood up very much noticing her tears forming quickly in her eyes. He pulled her into a tight hug, and she hugged him back with all her strength.
Trinity watched from the car. She turned it off and got out with the keys. She started to walk up to the two.
'I missed you Mary.' He said sadly.
'Yea? After ten years I didn't think you would, but I still missed you like you left yesterday.'
'I would never forget you. I told you I couldn't, and I can't.' he sat down next to her on the bench and rubbed her back.
'I. I don't know what to say!' she laughed.
'I don't expect you too. I'm even speechless!!' he said.
'So, why are you back all of a sudden?'
'Military School goes into the Army, and that is where I was. Although for the past few months, I've been trying to figure out what state I was in! I left because I realized there is so much I left behind!'
'Yea. Maybe more than you think.' She added quietly. Trinity came up to them and gasped.
'It's the guy from your pictures.' She said whispering.
'Hi, I'm Tristan Dugrey, you are?' he said holding out his hand. Trinity just stared at his hand.
'Trinity, you're right. This is the guy from the pictures.'
'I'm so glad I have a fan club!'
'Now sweetie, can you please go back to the car. I'll explain everything tonight, okay? We'll have a party.'
'Okay.' She said uncertainly, but went back anyway.
'So the guy who dropped her off—'
'Jess, but he's married. I'm single if that's what your wondering.'
'Yea, it was. Well you and your sister have a good relationship.'
'Yea, umm, she's not exactly my sister.'
'Oh, just a friend who happens to be very beautiful like you?'
'Looks like mine run in families, Tristan.'
'Right...'
'Tristan a lot can change in ten years, a lot can happen in a year, heck a lot can happen in a night!'
'I know. I understand, which is why I'm being patient.
'No, I don't think you understand.' Rory said getting up and looking in the direction of her car.
'I think I do, I have a lot of catching up to do.'
'Yea, you have that too, but not just with me Tristan. With Paris, with your family, but there are new things that would complicate your life, if you choose to be with me.'
'What? I can handle babysitting your sister if you need.'
'She is not my sister!'
'Then who is she?'
'She's my daughter.' Tristan looked like he had been hit over the head.
'Daughter?' he repeated.
'Yea.'
'I didn't think you would get that close with anyone.'
'I didn't.'
'How not? Obviously you did—'
'Obviously if I what? If I have a daughter? Oh, I'm sorry I didn't think you were that stupid.'
'What, you adopted her?'
'NO!' she stopped and took a few breaths relaxing her. She let out a chuckle. ' So many times I have dreamed about this day. Seeing you again after ten years, but never did it go this way.' She said quietly.
'Then how did it go?'
'I just came right out and told you.'
'Told me what?'
'That you have a daughter.'
'Wait, but you just said that...'
'That I had a daughter, right, I know. Now connect the dots.' She waited a few seconds then continued.
'You took my virginity away from me, of course willingly on my part, but it was sex. No matter what, we did, we had sex.'
'It couldn't have happened the first time though.'
'So? We did it more than once Tristan. If I remember correctly there were weekends when we even didn't want to wait till we got to a bed we just did it five feet in front of it.'
'Ten years.' He said quietly.
'Yea, ten years ago I was pregnant with your baby.'
