Summary: In eight 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!
One more reason:
Rory was walking around the apartment picking a few things up when Trinity came out.
'Hey mom, I have a bad stomach ache.'
'I'm sure it'll be fine. Just go lie down okay? You should go to bed soon anyway.' Trinity nodded and went to her room. When Trinity hadn't come back out in an hour Rory figured it had gone away and she was sleeping, so she watched TV. She was interrupted though by Trinity.
'I'm really nauseas.' She said. Trinity looked a lot worse. Her face was pale and she looked bad. Rory got up. She never knew what do to do for things like this.
'How about if I give you some Chicken Noodle Soup?' Rory asked and heading to he kitchen. She nodded her head and sat on the couch holding her stomach. Rory put soup on the stove and joined her daughter on the couch.
'How you feeling? No better?'
'No. isn't there someone you could call? Who took care of you when you felt like crap?'
'Well, my mom but when I was younger your dad. Your dad! Tristan, he'll know what to do.' She said getting up and calling his number.
Phone--------------
R-Hey Tristan. This is Rory
T- hey, what can I do for you at ten o clock on this lovely evening...especially when I just saw you at Trinity's end of the year party.
R- She's sick.
T- Trinity's sick? She was fine this afternoon.
R- I know, could you come over? She has a bad stomachache and she's feeling really nauseas.
T- Sure, I'll make a stop at the store on the way over. I'll be there in a few minutes. Keep put.
End-----------
'He's coming.' Rory said as she hung up the phone.
'Good.' Rory poured soup into a bowl and brought it to Trinity. She ate it slowly and stopped in the middle. She ran to the bathroom and threw up. Rory alarmed walked after her quickly and filled a glass of water for her daughter and bent down next to her rubbing her back.
'Here sweetie drink this.' Trinity took the glass and drank from it. A few minutes later she was throwing up again. When she came back away from the toilet Rory offered her the water again.
'No, I'll pass.' She said closing her eyes. Her stomach was still turning but it had gotten a little bit better. They heard a knock at the door.
'It's probably your dad.' Rory said getting up and letting him in.
'Where is she?' he asked carrying paper grocery bag.
'In the bathroom. She threw up.' She said following him back. Trinity smiled weakly when she saw her dad sit next to her on the floor.
'How are you feeling?'
'Better, but still nauseas.'
'Did you throw up a lot?'
'Yea, the whole day's worth of food!' he pouted and looked through his bag and took out a few things. He took out a thermometer, a box of medicine, Tums, and a teddy bear.
'Here hold this.' he said handing her the soft plush animal. She smiled and held it close to her. Next he opened the box and measured out a proper dose of the medicine and gave it to her in a small cup. She smelled it and cringed.
'Do I have to take this?'
'Not if you don't want to, but it'll make you feel better.' He said. Rory watched from a chair in the doorway. Trinity made a face, held her nose and drank the medicine. She shook her head after to show how bad it tasted.
'Sorry.' Tristan said rubbing his daughters back.
'It's okay.' He opened the thermometer, washed it and then put one of the plastic covers on it. He gave it to her to put under her tongue. She put it under her tongue and Tristan felt her forehead. She felt warm.
'Thumbs up if you're cold, thumbs down if you're hot and sweaty, and fist if you're neither.' Tristan said as he waited for the results. She put her thumb up. He looked at her pajamas. She was wearing soffee shorts and a thin shirt.
'Kay. Hey Rory, could you get Trinity a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt?' he asked looking at her. Rory stood up and returned a few minutes later with the clothes. Tristan was reading the stick.
'100.2. She has a fever. ' Tristan said taking the clothes from Rory and handing them to Trinity.
'I'll leave so you can change.' Tristan said starting to get up but Trinity tugged at his shirt.
'Could you just turn around instead of leaving?' She asked. Tristan smiled and nodded. He looked at Rory as she got undressed.
'So when I said, "stay put" what exactly did you do?' Tristan asked.
'I gave her Chicken noodle soup.'
'You gave her food?'
'Yea, she had a stomach ache.'
'She's also nauseas! If someone's nauseas that means they're gonna throw up. You don't remember anything from when I took care of you do you?'
'No, not really. That's why I called you. I felt really good the next day, so I thought maybe you could work your magic again.'
'Okay, I'm dressed. You can turn around.' Tristan did so.
'You feel well enough to walk?'
'Could I just stay here?'
'Nope, it's uncomfortable and stuffy in here and there's no way you'll get better. Stand up for a second.' She reluctantly did, and he picked her up and carried her like a baby to the couch. He put her down gently. Rory brought her a fleece blanket and put it over her.
'There, are you still cold?' Tristan asked kneeling.
'Yea.' He thought for a second and brought her, her comforter from her bed. Rory lifted her head up and sat down having her lie on her lap. Tristan took out a movie and put it in the VCR.
'Ann, are you okay? Are you hungry?'
'Yea, I am hungry.'
'Are you still nauseas?'
'A little bit but not like before.'
'Okay, I'll start the movie in a second.' He said he brought out three mugs and a Jello.
'Here Ann. You can eat the Jello slowly, and here's some camomile tea. It should help your stomach.' She smiled and took it.
'And Rory I brought you coffee.' He said giving it to her. She grinned happily. He turned on the movie and came back to the couch and sat next to Rory.
After the movie, Tristan got up and saw that trinity was asleep. Rory sat her up a little and Tristan scooped her up and brought her to her bed. Rory followed with the comforter. He placed her on her bed and Rory put the comforter over to her. Tristan tucked the sheet around her and out her new stuffed animal in it with her. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and Rory kissed her cheek. They both exited out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
'You know, I think trinity would like it if you stayed the night but if it's—'
'It's okay. I'll sleep on the couch.' He said reassuring her. She smiled and leaned against him.
'Can I talk to you?' Rory asked quietly.
'Sure.' He went with her to the kitchen and sat down across from her.
'Look, I don't want Trinity to be the only reason you come here.'
'She's not. I come to see you too.'
'Yea, but you then feel like you don't have a reason, and then it would be odd.'
'I don't think I'm following.'
'What happened to us? I remember the night you left like it was yesterday.'
'You still remember that?'
'yea, you don't?'
'I do, clearly, but why?'
'Because it was night I lost the only person I really loved, and it was exactly a month later that I found out I was pregnant.'
'I remember the times we didn't even care to use a rubber or any kind of protection.'
'I remember the day you found out that I had gotten birth control.'
'Yea, well it doesn't help that you left it out in my bathroom!'
'My mom was so mad at me the night I told her I was pregnant. We both cried for hours that night. I didn't even go to school for a week. Paris had called me and came over a week later to see why I was missing school. She had came over right when Lane and Jess had come over. Everyone wanted to know what was wrong.'
'They all found out at the same time?'
'Yea. My mom tried to make them go away, but Jess told my mom that they only wanted to make me better, so she let them see me. I cried again and I told them I was pregnant. They of course all asked who the father was, and I smartly told them it was some guy named Pinocchio. They didn't believe me, and Paris had this brilliant idea it was you who added the water to the seed. I never told them it was you, but they all knew I was carrying a Dugrey.' Rory said laughing. Tristan smiled enjoying hearing about this all.
'Continue.'
'Okay, so I went back to school a week later. No one knew I was pregnant until junior year. My mom home schooled me for junior year, and rumors started to spread that I had killed myself. I showed up after spring break after Trinity was finished breastfeeding. I had lost a lot of weight, cause I got sick. The doctors didn't know what was wrong, so I had Trinity early, and after she was born I got better. So anyway, I went back to school and people were confused because I was supposed to be dead. When Paris saw me, she gave me a hug, and I hugged her back. That year we weren't exactly chum- chum but we weren't wishing each other death wishes either like the beginning of sophomore year.'
'So how did they find out my hand-dandy work?'
'Loving oh so loving Summer asked me what I was doing back only after spring break, and I told her I had some personal issues I had to attend to. She didn't quite understand, so she started rumors that I got pregnant. Little did she know that she was correct, of course it killed her to know that when I confirmed her rumor I also said I had your baby. She hated me even more from then on, and I got a lot of letters from people letting me know if I needed help with money or a babysitter I could call someone.'
'Summer, god, how's she been doing?'
'I saw her about a year ago actually. Trinity was with me. I introduced them and was very polite, but when we were out of her earshot I told Trinity that if I ever saw her talking to Summer I would personally make sure she never spoke to another soul her entire life. She caught on quickly.'
'Well with a comment like that I would too. So what happened Senior year?'
'I went to school there the whole year, the niceness of people stopped abruptly I got asked out an average of 15 to 20 times a week and guys never left me alone. Till of course, Michael Quinn told me he wanted to continue his family, and asked if I would be a willing participant. I kneed him in the balls and told him that if he or anyone ever said something like that again to me or to anyone else, he would pay a most unwanted punishment. After that people pretty much left me alone. They really were afraid. It was sad.'
'Michael Quinn? God, I remember him. He was competing with me to start going on a date with you.'
'Yup, I know. It's so sad, I found pleasure in excuse my choice of words, but I found pleasure in fucking one and found it a fucking pleasure to hurt the other. It's kinda funny.'
'You found pleasure in having sex with me? Oh, I'm touched.' He said putting his hand to his heart. She got up and pushed him.
'Your mean.' She said.
'But you love me anyway.'
'yea, it's a problem.' She said.
'No, it's only a problem when I tickle you and wont stop.'
'You wouldn't dare!'
'just watch me!' he said ticking her. She laughed as her knees gave out and she fell to the floor laughing. Tristan sat down and continued to tickle her. She rolled over so she was lying on her back and Tristan was lying over her. He stopped and they caught their breath from laughing. Their breathing returned to normal. They looked into each other's eyes and slowly Tristan's lips went down on Rory's. He realized what he had done and pulled away, but Rory just leaned up and pulled him back onto her. He leaned over father onto her and responded to the kiss. After a few minutes he broke away.
'We never finished talking.' Rory said.
'I know, What else did you wanna talk about?' He pulled her up so they were facing each other again, but were on the floor now.
'Us. I wanna be with you Tristan. I know right know isn't a great time because Trinity's sick, but I really wanna be with you. I Just wanted you to know that.'
'I wanna be with you too, but if we for any reason, can't think of a reason in the world, but if we break up, then Trinity's hopes are kinda ruined and she'll be miserable.'
'Tristan, my hopes of my mom and dad were never ruined. Even after my dad got married to my step mom, Sherri and got her pregnant also, I still had major hopes that my parents would get married again. And how do you know she'll be miserable?'
'You're forgetting I dated you in high school. When your dad and mom almost got together? You don't remember? You wanted to have sex for the first time—'
'and you said that I needed to wait because I was just upset.'
'And the next morning, you were happy you waited.'
'Yea, but then we did it a week later!'
'Doesn't matter, and I cant believe that we are twenty-six and discussing when we had sex for the first time.'
'Kinda funny isn't it.'
'I guess. So I think that on the subject of me and you being something, I think that we need one more person to give input.'
'Trinity? That's actually a good idea. Well then this works out cause you'll be here tomorrow morning to make her breakfast. We could ask her then.'
'Yea, that's fine. So Chicken Noodle soup?'
'Okay, you can stop with the noodle soup already!'
'But outta everything, you gave her a liquid? What about perhaps tums or something?'
'Tristan, you're forgetting that you're talking to a person named Rory. Rory doesn't own anything of a sort, so when Tristan brings these things, it makes Rory very happy!' she said talking in third person.
'So exactly what did you do for 10 years?'
'This is the third time it's happened in her life. She hasn't thrown up in over 4 years. You think I remember?'
'Okay fine, but did your mom take care of her?'
'Oh yea. I brought her over and sat there. My mom became Dr. Lorelai and pushed my worries away.'
'Okay, now you're just being a smart-ass!'
'cant help that I'm smart and that I have a fine ass.' They laughed.
'I'm smart too.'
'Sure you are.'
'Hey! I am!' he debated.
'Okay.' She said nodding.
'Fine. So was I right to bring you breakfast too?'
'What do you think?'
'I think you have cereal and pop tarts.'
'No cereal, but I do have pop tarts and 4 cans of Spaghetti-O's.'
'Please do not tell me that for ten years my daughter only ate Spaghetti- O's and Pop Tarts.'
'She ate Luke's too.'
'Was there any protein at all?'
'Hamburgers.'
'Why would I think Trinity ate healthy?'
'With me as her mom, that's a great question.' Rory said. Tristan smiled and put his head back.
'So today at the party—that was Braxtons mom, huh?'
'Yup. So you really were friends with Paris that long?'
'Yea. We were inseparable until Jennifer Sharlotz was new at Chilton in the middle on Sixth grade. I was picked to be her guide. We became friends and I got into girls, after that me and Paris drifted apart. The End of Eighth grade I became the "King of Chilton" and I had kissed 1/2 my grade and dated 3/4. A lot of our grade left going into high school, but even more kids came. Are you even interested?'
'yea, I am. It's good to know this stuff, keep going.'
'Okay. So, new girls, new competition, and more to prove, and I was officially the 2nd person to do a girl.'
'In ninth grade?'
'Yea. It was the very beginning, only about a month into the year. You know Rory I haven't done it with every girl on our class.'
'haven't? You mean you're still going?'
'You know what I meant. I didn't do it with every girl, better?'
'Well the phrase is, but not the meaning.'
'You were there, but I never really noticed you, you were always shy and quiet, until I bumped into in the hallway.I would never have done it with those girls if I knew about you!'
'You knew about me, but you did it with Summer.'
'I did it with Summer to make you jealous, and I also got sucked in by her. She's like a sirens song, and the lotus eaters! Once you hear the song, you're attracted to it, once you eat a lotus, you never wanna stop.'
'You actually remember the Odyssey?'
'Yea, it was eighth grade. I totally screwed that up!"
'Eighth grade?'
'Yea, why when did you read it?'
'I read it in eighth grade but because I was interested in it. Why did you read it?'
'I had to, it was for school.'
'You did? I wouldn't have read it until ninth grade with the rest of my school.'
'Private Schools tend to be farther ahead than public.' Tristan said.
'You know Tristan, I've been thinking a lot about his and I wanna maybe get together with you and Paris to talk about this?'
'Talk about what?'
'Trinity and Chilton.'
'You wanna send Trinity to Chilton?'
'Well, I mean it's a great school, and trinity was ahead of the class in everything for the past few years. I'll keep her at her elementary school for fifth grade but this is something I've seriously considered. What do you think?'
'I think that if trinity is like me than she'll get into trouble there.'
'What do you mean trouble?'
'I got into trouble Rory.'
'Yea, but she's me too! I was studious and I handled Chilton well.'
'Rory, you got pregnant.'
'So are you against this?'
'I don't know. I might, I might not be, I'm just saying, Chilton does not have the nicest group of kids.'
'But you were able to be friends with Paris.'
'Rory, fifth graders don't really know much about his stuff. Sure they know about sex, but they don't really know some of the risks, STD's, what a girl and boy could do at a very young age. That's why it worked. When I realized that girls could be more than a friend, I pushed Paris away.'
'I don't know what to do. I should ask Paris what she thinks.'
'Yea, go ahead, but I think that what we need to do it visit the middle school. Based on the middle school, I'll be able to tell you how the high school will be.'
'Okay.'
'Yes, and I'm gonna get to sleep so I can wake up tomorrow!'
'Kay, I'll go to sleep now too.' She stood up and gave Tristan a quick kiss before leaving for her room. Tristan went onto to the couch and shut his eyes allowing himself to be taken over by a wave of sleep.
Rory however was lying in bed, thinking about all the things Tristan had said. She knew he was right, but she still wanted her daughter to go there. She again would take Tristan's advice. In the fall they would tour the school and decide. Settling her issue, she closed her eyes. Soon sleep overcame her bringing deep into a world of fantasy.
I'll try to update soon, but in the meantime please review! :0)

One more reason:
Rory was walking around the apartment picking a few things up when Trinity came out.
'Hey mom, I have a bad stomach ache.'
'I'm sure it'll be fine. Just go lie down okay? You should go to bed soon anyway.' Trinity nodded and went to her room. When Trinity hadn't come back out in an hour Rory figured it had gone away and she was sleeping, so she watched TV. She was interrupted though by Trinity.
'I'm really nauseas.' She said. Trinity looked a lot worse. Her face was pale and she looked bad. Rory got up. She never knew what do to do for things like this.
'How about if I give you some Chicken Noodle Soup?' Rory asked and heading to he kitchen. She nodded her head and sat on the couch holding her stomach. Rory put soup on the stove and joined her daughter on the couch.
'How you feeling? No better?'
'No. isn't there someone you could call? Who took care of you when you felt like crap?'
'Well, my mom but when I was younger your dad. Your dad! Tristan, he'll know what to do.' She said getting up and calling his number.
Phone--------------
R-Hey Tristan. This is Rory
T- hey, what can I do for you at ten o clock on this lovely evening...especially when I just saw you at Trinity's end of the year party.
R- She's sick.
T- Trinity's sick? She was fine this afternoon.
R- I know, could you come over? She has a bad stomachache and she's feeling really nauseas.
T- Sure, I'll make a stop at the store on the way over. I'll be there in a few minutes. Keep put.
End-----------
'He's coming.' Rory said as she hung up the phone.
'Good.' Rory poured soup into a bowl and brought it to Trinity. She ate it slowly and stopped in the middle. She ran to the bathroom and threw up. Rory alarmed walked after her quickly and filled a glass of water for her daughter and bent down next to her rubbing her back.
'Here sweetie drink this.' Trinity took the glass and drank from it. A few minutes later she was throwing up again. When she came back away from the toilet Rory offered her the water again.
'No, I'll pass.' She said closing her eyes. Her stomach was still turning but it had gotten a little bit better. They heard a knock at the door.
'It's probably your dad.' Rory said getting up and letting him in.
'Where is she?' he asked carrying paper grocery bag.
'In the bathroom. She threw up.' She said following him back. Trinity smiled weakly when she saw her dad sit next to her on the floor.
'How are you feeling?'
'Better, but still nauseas.'
'Did you throw up a lot?'
'Yea, the whole day's worth of food!' he pouted and looked through his bag and took out a few things. He took out a thermometer, a box of medicine, Tums, and a teddy bear.
'Here hold this.' he said handing her the soft plush animal. She smiled and held it close to her. Next he opened the box and measured out a proper dose of the medicine and gave it to her in a small cup. She smelled it and cringed.
'Do I have to take this?'
'Not if you don't want to, but it'll make you feel better.' He said. Rory watched from a chair in the doorway. Trinity made a face, held her nose and drank the medicine. She shook her head after to show how bad it tasted.
'Sorry.' Tristan said rubbing his daughters back.
'It's okay.' He opened the thermometer, washed it and then put one of the plastic covers on it. He gave it to her to put under her tongue. She put it under her tongue and Tristan felt her forehead. She felt warm.
'Thumbs up if you're cold, thumbs down if you're hot and sweaty, and fist if you're neither.' Tristan said as he waited for the results. She put her thumb up. He looked at her pajamas. She was wearing soffee shorts and a thin shirt.
'Kay. Hey Rory, could you get Trinity a pair of sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt?' he asked looking at her. Rory stood up and returned a few minutes later with the clothes. Tristan was reading the stick.
'100.2. She has a fever. ' Tristan said taking the clothes from Rory and handing them to Trinity.
'I'll leave so you can change.' Tristan said starting to get up but Trinity tugged at his shirt.
'Could you just turn around instead of leaving?' She asked. Tristan smiled and nodded. He looked at Rory as she got undressed.
'So when I said, "stay put" what exactly did you do?' Tristan asked.
'I gave her Chicken noodle soup.'
'You gave her food?'
'Yea, she had a stomach ache.'
'She's also nauseas! If someone's nauseas that means they're gonna throw up. You don't remember anything from when I took care of you do you?'
'No, not really. That's why I called you. I felt really good the next day, so I thought maybe you could work your magic again.'
'Okay, I'm dressed. You can turn around.' Tristan did so.
'You feel well enough to walk?'
'Could I just stay here?'
'Nope, it's uncomfortable and stuffy in here and there's no way you'll get better. Stand up for a second.' She reluctantly did, and he picked her up and carried her like a baby to the couch. He put her down gently. Rory brought her a fleece blanket and put it over her.
'There, are you still cold?' Tristan asked kneeling.
'Yea.' He thought for a second and brought her, her comforter from her bed. Rory lifted her head up and sat down having her lie on her lap. Tristan took out a movie and put it in the VCR.
'Ann, are you okay? Are you hungry?'
'Yea, I am hungry.'
'Are you still nauseas?'
'A little bit but not like before.'
'Okay, I'll start the movie in a second.' He said he brought out three mugs and a Jello.
'Here Ann. You can eat the Jello slowly, and here's some camomile tea. It should help your stomach.' She smiled and took it.
'And Rory I brought you coffee.' He said giving it to her. She grinned happily. He turned on the movie and came back to the couch and sat next to Rory.
After the movie, Tristan got up and saw that trinity was asleep. Rory sat her up a little and Tristan scooped her up and brought her to her bed. Rory followed with the comforter. He placed her on her bed and Rory put the comforter over to her. Tristan tucked the sheet around her and out her new stuffed animal in it with her. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and Rory kissed her cheek. They both exited out of the room, shutting the door behind them.
'You know, I think trinity would like it if you stayed the night but if it's—'
'It's okay. I'll sleep on the couch.' He said reassuring her. She smiled and leaned against him.
'Can I talk to you?' Rory asked quietly.
'Sure.' He went with her to the kitchen and sat down across from her.
'Look, I don't want Trinity to be the only reason you come here.'
'She's not. I come to see you too.'
'Yea, but you then feel like you don't have a reason, and then it would be odd.'
'I don't think I'm following.'
'What happened to us? I remember the night you left like it was yesterday.'
'You still remember that?'
'yea, you don't?'
'I do, clearly, but why?'
'Because it was night I lost the only person I really loved, and it was exactly a month later that I found out I was pregnant.'
'I remember the times we didn't even care to use a rubber or any kind of protection.'
'I remember the day you found out that I had gotten birth control.'
'Yea, well it doesn't help that you left it out in my bathroom!'
'My mom was so mad at me the night I told her I was pregnant. We both cried for hours that night. I didn't even go to school for a week.

Tristan smiled enjoying hearing about this all.
'Continue.'
'Okay, so I went back to school a week later. No one knew I was pregnant until junior year. My mom home schooled me for junior year, and rumors started to spread that I had killed myself. I showed up after spring break after Trinity was finished breastfeeding. I had lost a lot of weight, cause I got sick.

'Summer, god, how's she been doing?'
'I saw her about a year ago actually. Trinity was with me. I introduced them and was very polite, but when we were out of her earshot I told Trinity that if I ever saw her talking to Summer I would personally make sure she never spoke to another soul her entire life. She caught on quickly.'
'Well with a comment like that I would too. So what happened Senior year?'
'I went to school there the whole year, the niceness of people stopped abruptly I got asked out an average of 15 to 20 times a week and guys never left me alone.

'Michael Quinn? God, I remember him. He was competing with me to start going on a date with you.'
'Yup, I know. It's so sad, I found pleasure in excuse my choice of words, but I found pleasure in fucking one and found it a fucking pleasure to hurt the other. It's kinda funny.'
'You found pleasure in having sex with me? Oh, I'm touched.' He said putting his hand to his heart. She got up and pushed him.
'Your mean.' She said.
'But you love me anyway.'
'yea, it's a problem.' She said.
'No, it's only a problem when I tickle you and wont stop.'
'You wouldn't dare!'
'just watch me!' he said ticking her. She laughed as her knees gave out and she fell to the floor laughing. Tristan sat down and continued to tickle her. She rolled over so she was lying on her back and Tristan was lying over her. He stopped and they caught their breath from laughing. Their breathing returned to normal. They looked into each other's eyes and slowly Tristan's lips went down on Rory's. He realized what he had done and pulled away, but Rory just leaned up and pulled him back onto her. He leaned over father onto her and responded to the kiss. After a few minutes he broke away.
'We never finished talking.' Rory said.
'I know, What else did you wanna talk about?' He pulled her up so they were facing each other again, but were on the floor now.
'Us. I wanna be with you Tristan. I know right know isn't a great time because Trinity's sick, but I really wanna be with you. I Just wanted you to know that.'
'I wanna be with you too, but if we for any reason, can't think of a reason in the world, but if we break up, then Trinity's hopes are kinda ruined and she'll be miserable.'
'Tristan, my hopes of my mom and dad were never ruined. Even after my dad got married to my step mom, Sherri and got her pregnant also, I still had major hopes that my parents would get married again. And how do you know she'll be miserable?'
'You're forgetting I dated you in high school. When your dad and mom almost got together? You don't remember? You wanted to have sex for the first time—'
'and you said that I needed to wait because I was just upset.'
'And the next morning, you were happy you waited.'
'Yea, but then we did it a week later!'
'Doesn't matter, and I cant believe that we are twenty-six and discussing when we had sex for the first time.'
'Kinda funny isn't it.'
'I guess. So I think that on the subject of me and you being something, I think that we need one more person to give input.'
'Trinity? That's actually a good idea. Well then this works out cause you'll be here tomorrow morning to make her breakfast. We could ask her then.'
'Yea, that's fine. So Chicken Noodle soup?'
'Okay, you can stop with the noodle soup already!'
'But outta everything, you gave her a liquid? What about perhaps tums or something?'
'Tristan, you're forgetting that you're talking to a person named Rory. Rory doesn't own anything of a sort, so when Tristan brings these things, it makes Rory very happy!' she said talking in third person.
'So exactly what did you do for 10 years?'
'This is the third time it's happened in her life. She hasn't thrown up in over 4 years. You think I remember?'
'Okay fine, but did your mom take care of her?'
'Oh yea. I brought her over and sat there. My mom became Dr. Lorelai and pushed my worries away.'
'Okay, now you're just being a smart-ass!'
'cant help that I'm smart and that I have a fine ass.' They laughed.
'I'm smart too.'
'Sure you are.'
'Hey! I am!' he debated.
'Okay.' She said nodding.
'Fine. So was I right to bring you breakfast too?'
'What do you think?'
'I think you have cereal and pop tarts.'
'No cereal, but I do have pop tarts and 4 cans of Spaghetti-O's.'
'Please do not tell me that for ten years my daughter only ate Spaghetti- O's and Pop Tarts.'
'She ate Luke's too.'
'Was there any protein at all?'
'Hamburgers.'
'Why would I think Trinity ate healthy?'
'With me as her mom, that's a great question.' Rory said. Tristan smiled and put his head back.
'So today at the party—that was Braxtons mom, huh?'
'Yup. So you really were friends with Paris that long?'
'Yea. We were inseparable until Jennifer Sharlotz was new at Chilton in the middle on Sixth grade. I was picked to be her guide. We became friends and I got into girls, after that me and Paris drifted apart. The End of Eighth grade I became the "King of Chilton" and I had kissed 1/2 my grade and dated 3/4. A lot of our grade left going into high school, but even more kids came. Are you even interested?'
'yea, I am. It's good to know this stuff, keep going.'
'Okay. So, new girls, new competition, and more to prove, and I was officially the 2nd person to do a girl.'
'In ninth grade?'
'Yea. It was the very beginning, only about a month into the year. You know Rory I haven't done it with every girl on our class.'
'haven't? You mean you're still going?'
'You know what I meant. I didn't do it with every girl, better?'
'Well the phrase is, but not the meaning.'
'You were there, but I never really noticed you, you were always shy and quiet, until I bumped into in the hallway.I would never have done it with those girls if I knew about you!'
'You knew about me, but you did it with Summer.'
'I did it with Summer to make you jealous, and I also got sucked in by her. She's like a sirens song, and the lotus eaters! Once you hear the song, you're attracted to it, once you eat a lotus, you never wanna stop.'
'You actually remember the Odyssey?'
'Yea, it was eighth grade. I totally screwed that up!"
'Eighth grade?'
'Yea, why when did you read it?'
'I read it in eighth grade but because I was interested in it. Why did you read it?'
'I had to, it was for school.'
'You did? I wouldn't have read it until ninth grade with the rest of my school.'
'Private Schools tend to be farther ahead than public.' Tristan said.
'You know Tristan, I've been thinking a lot about his and I wanna maybe get together with you and Paris to talk about this?'
'Talk about what?'
'Trinity and Chilton.'
'You wanna send Trinity to Chilton?'
'Well, I mean it's a great school, and trinity was ahead of the class in everything for the past few years. I'll keep her at her elementary school for fifth grade but this is something I've seriously considered. What do you think?'
'I think that if trinity is like me than she'll get into trouble there.'
'What do you mean trouble?'
'I got into trouble Rory.'
'Yea, but she's me too! I was studious and I handled Chilton well.'
'Rory, you got pregnant.'
'So are you against this?'
'I don't know. I might, I might not be, I'm just saying, Chilton does not have the nicest group of kids.'
'But you were able to be friends with Paris.'
'Rory, fifth graders don't really know much about his stuff. Sure they know about sex, but they don't really know some of the risks, STD's, what a girl and boy could do at a very young age. That's why it worked. When I realized that girls could be more than a friend, I pushed Paris away.'
'I don't know what to do. I should ask Paris what she thinks.'
'Yea, go ahead, but I think that what we need to do it visit the middle school. Based on the middle school, I'll be able to tell you how the high school will be.'
'Okay.'
'Yes, and I'm gonna get to sleep so I can wake up tomorrow!'
'Kay, I'll go to sleep now too.' She stood up and gave Tristan a quick kiss before leaving for her room. Tristan went onto to the couch and shut his eyes allowing himself to be taken over by a wave of sleep.
Rory however was lying in bed, thinking about all the things Tristan had said. She knew he was right, but she still wanted her daughter to go there. She again would take Tristan's advice. In the fall they would tour the school and decide. Settling her issue, she closed her eyes. Soon sleep overcame her bringing deep into a world of fantasy.
I'll try to update soon, but in the meantime please review! :0)
