Dinner with Lorelai and the beginning of a truth:
'Dad!!' Trinity yelled from her bedroom.
'What?' he asked looking in. She had a towel wrapped around her body.
'I ran out of you get me some from the laundry basket?' Tristan gave her an odd look and then went to find the basket. He found it and started to look through it. Rory came by in underwear and a bra and looked at confusedly.
'What are you doing?' she asked. He looked and then quickly turned around.
'Just for the record, I don't mind if you or Trinity walk around here with barely anything on, but I will not talk to you like I'm one of the girls.' He said turning back to her and smirking. Rory laughed.
'Okay, so what are you doing?'
'Oh, umm Trinity wanted me to get her underwear.'
'Trinity!! I put some in your pajama drawer!' Rory yelled.
'Okay! Thanks.' She yelled back finding some.
'See...all better.' Rory said pulling Tristan back to his feet.
'So, please don't tell me that's what your wearing tonight?'
'Well, I am but there's going to be extra clothes OVER this.' She said smiling. She lightly pushed and walked back to her room and then came back out seconds later putting on a thin summer dress and flip flops on. Tristan pulled her to him after she pulled the dress down on kissed her.
'You know how this morning I thought we should wait?'
'Yea?' she asked eyebrows raised.
'Well that dress is too damn sexy for you.'
'So you changed your mind?'
'Oh yea.' He said exhaling a deep breath. Rory was smirking.
'Okay. TRINITY!' Rory yelled turning away so she wouldn't deafen Tristan.
'Coming.' Trinity came out with a sleeping bag, pillow, and a bag. In her empty hand she was carrying the stuffed animal Tristan had bought for her. He smiled.
'Ready to go sweetie?' Rory asked.
'Mhmm. So what are you and dad gonna do tonight?'
'Well grandma wants to have dinner with us and then we'll be home the rest of the night.'
'Okay. Don't worry, I wont disturb you.'
'Oh, don't worry about us.' Tristan smiled and followed them out. They dropped her off at her friends house and then continued to Stars Hollow. Tristan pulled into the driveway and shut off the car. Rory turned to him before they got out.
'Just try and be nice okay? If you show her what an amazing man you are maybe she'll lessen the threats a tad.'
'Oh and what are they now?'
'Slaughter you and then feed as meatballs as a treat to people in jail.'
'Chop up my gorgeous face?' he asked feigning shock.
'Oh shut up, just, well just be nice and no sexual innuendo's PLEASE!!'
'But Rory your dress is too hot for that! I mean, one look at you and I can imagine just screwing you right now and right here.' he said smirking.
'Well, that'll be your challenge.' She smirked back and then kissed him lightly before breaking it and getting out. Tristan followed suit. They went to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opened soon after.
'Hey Rory!!' Lorelai said hugging her daughter.
'Tristan.'
'Hello, Lorelai.' He said kindly.
'You remembered to use my name and not Miss. Or Ms. Gilmore.'
'Yea, well I know how much you despised it ten years ago, I figured you still felt the same way.'
'You figured right although, now I am a grandmother, which I do believe is YOUR doing?'
'Mom.' Rory groaned.
'What? Just stating the facts. Oh yea, you wanna come in?' she asked backing away from the door. They both walked in.
'So how are you two? How's trinity?'
'We're good. Trinity is at a sleepover so she's having fun tonight.'
'That's good. Ya know Tristan, I just wanna get this outta the way.'
'Go ahead.'
'Okay, Rory may have told you, but your definitely not in my top ten favorite people.'
'I knew that...even back when we were dating.'
'True, but after that night in the hospital and seeing you again after ten years, I really thought about it and I decided that I love Rory and Trinity with all of my heart and it would be easier for them if I at least gave you another chance to prove yourself.'
'Prove myself?'
'Okay, so not proveing yourself, but well, just giving you another chance.'
'I really appreciate that. Thank you.'
'Yea well, I trust Rory and if she sees something in you still after all this time, then maybe I should try to see it too.' Rory smiled and squeezed his hand.
'So mom, we gonna eat?'
'Well I thought before we ate I would take you too the living room and grill Tristan with questions!'
'Mom...'
'No, babe, let your mom do what she needs to do.' He said reassuringly to Rory.
'Brownie points for you!' Lorelai cheered walking into the living room and sitting on the coffee table. Rory and Tristan sat on the couch.
'So how old are you?'
'27?' he said with question in his tone.
'I don't know...are you?'
'Yea, yes I am.'
'Good, Birthday?'
'January 28th, 1986'
'Parents?' Tristan looked down.
'Mom...'
'What? What did I do?'
'Nothing, my parents aren't exactly parents though. I thought it would be nice to go to my house and say hello but they haven't been there for more than a month. I talked to one of my old maids and she told me she was glad to see me but it would be best if my parents didn't know I was back.'
'Oh god...I'm sorry—'
'NO, it's okay I don't want pity. I can tell you their names if you want.'
'No, it's oka. I understand the feeling of Hartford Elite parents.'
'Okay, so anything else?'
'Siblings?'
'None unless one of my parents' affairs resulted with a baby.'
'Well that was brutally honest.'
'It's the brutal truth.' He resonded.
'Okay, here's my analysis: hair: Blonde, eyes: blue, height: about 6'1'', weight: about 170 pounds, style: preppy yet conservative and classic, personality: arrogant, and occasionally a jerk but has a sweet and caring side.' Lorelai said. Rory smiled, she was glad Tristan seemed comfortable.
'Wow...how'd you do?' Tristan asked shocked at how accurate she was.
'Gift. Makes someone easy to shop for.' She smiled. Rory laughed as she tapped her knee against his.
'Okay, I think we're done here but just for the record, please state your full name.'
'I feel like I'm testifying but, Tristan Anthony Dugrey.'
'Good, let's eat.' Lorelai said waling to the kitchen. Rory smiled and kissed Tristan lightly on the lips when her mom left.
'She's warming up to you.' She whispered.
'I don't know about that.'
'No, she only asked you five questions including the one about your parents.'
'I still don't know.'
'It doesn't matter. Maybe she'll buy you ice cream if you behave like a good boy.'
'But if I'm bad will I still get a kiss?' he asked playfully.
'We'll see.' Rory said grinning. She stood up pulling Tristan with her and lead him to the small kitchen. Lorelai was taking plastic plates and cups out of a bag. Two large pizza's were already sitting on the table. The two sat down.
'Now, this is a new place. I waited for tonight to try them out. Sorry Rory you missed the delivery guy. I have to say thought it was fast service with a hot guy. Although you definitely got yourself a hot one anyway!'
'Mom!' Rory blushed. They passed out the pizza and started to eat.
'So mom...how's the inn?'
'Oh ya know...Michel yelling at me with his French accent, Sookie making amazing meals while trying to keep the Inn from burning down, Luke bringing me flowers, Taylor making a fuss over nothing—'
'Wait...what did you just say?' Rory asked cutting her off.
'Taylor making a fuss? Oh yea know he's always—'
'No, the thing before that.'
'Oh, umm, look I was going to tell you—'
'When did this happen?'
'Oh, umm about two weeks ago.'
'Wow, mom this is great!! You're both finally out of denial.'
'So you're not mad?'
'Well, I didn't tell you about Tristan over here so I think the slate is cleared.'
'That's good. Thanks.'
'Sure.'
'So, I'm dating Luke, you two are dating also, right?'
'Yup this is my boyfriend.' Rory said smiling.
'Just be careful okay?'
'I will mom.' Rory said a little fustrated.
'Hey, it never hurt anyone to have a caring mother!'
'I know, I'm sorry.'
'Forgiven. So, Tristan you haven't talked much. Are you going to get or do you have a job?'
'Well I don't and I was gonna get one right away but when I found out about Trinity, I decided it would be better to get to know her than to work.'
'Family before work...I like that.'
'Yea, well I probably know my father's company better than him. I hated that, my father never once played catch with me and I promised myself I would never do something like that to my kids. I have a girl so chances are it wont be catch, but maybe even bringing her to the mall or something.' He said shrugging.
'The mall? Man, Rory's trained you well!!'
'Well you taught her, therefore I learned from the best.'
'You two are nauseating to watch!' Lorelai remarked watching the two flirt with there eyes. They laughed.
'Oy.' Lorelai said standing up. 'How about some dessert?'
'
'yay!' Rory said happily.
'Tristan, you like chocolate ice cream?'
'Yea, sure.'
'Good.' Lorelai opened the freezer and took out 3 one-pint containers of ice cream. She handed them out as well as a spoon for each of them. Rory anf Lorelai finished before Tristan.
'Yummy.' Rory said patting her stomach.
'Mhmmmm.' Lorelai said plopping her spoon noisily on the table.
'Done.' He said.
'Good, now what do ya wanna do?' Lorelai asked.
'Well, I hate to say it but I'm kinda tired so maybe we could shecdule a movie night?'
'Sure, sweetie. Do you wanna go so you can sleep?'
'I don't know, I feel—'
'No, don't worry about me. You go.'
'Are you sure?'
'Don't be silly! I insist you go!'
'Okay. I'll call you later okay?'
'I'll be waiting. Love ya too.' She hugged Lorelai.
'Okay, you go wait in the car, I wanna talk to your boyfriend here for a couple of minutes.
'Be nice.' Rory said before leaving and walking to the car.
'Okay she cant hear us now.' Tristan said turning to Lorelai.
'Ever seen Jersey Girl?'
'Yea with one of my younger cousins, why?'
'Because I'm gonna quote something from that movie.'
'Okay?' he asked confused.
'What are you intentions towards my daughter?'
'I, ummm, intentions?'
'Ye, yea know why do you wanna be with her, and why her?'
'It's not that I WANT to date someone necessarily, if I wasn't with Rory I would probably still be content, although I would probably be looking for her.'
'Oh, and why her?'
'I've always been in love with Rory. Ever since I met her 11 years ago. I also think she's an amazing individual. She's smart, she's funny, she's beautiful, and she knows what she wants from life. She may not always know what she needs, but she does know what she wants from life.'
'You're not the first person to tell me these things. I need more.'
'Okay, well she's not afraid of being disliked, and she's able to move on after a huge bump in her life.'
'And when do you think this was?'
'Well I wasn't here but I know my leaving didn't help.'
'True, keep going.'
'So the bump maybe at the time was bad but now is wonderful and that's me getting Rory pregnant.'
'So you're admitting to it?'
'I never didn't admit to it. I want to take charge for what I did, and take the responsibility of what happened as a result of it.'
'You better not hurt her.'
'Trinity? No, I love her to death.'
'I meant Rory, but I'm glad you love Trinity. Now Rory?'
'Even less of a chance. I love her also with all my heart and I wanna be there so she DOESN'T get hurt.'
'Okay, before you leave I just want to tell you I am okay with you dating my daughter.'
'You are?' he asked surprised.
'Yea I am, just don't hurt her. She's been hurt to many times...Emotionally and physically. I see the way you look at her and I see how much you love her, but then I see the way she looks at you and it scares me. It scares me that she loves you so much that she's capable of getting her heart torn out.'
'I know.'
'Just treat her right.'
'I will.'
'Okay, bye Trisan.' Lorelai said smiling.
'Bye Lorelai.' He said before leaving. She shut the door as he took the keys out of his pocket and he got in.
'Hey.' She said. Her feet were bare and criss-crossed under her.
'Hi.' He leaned over ad kissed her sweetly on the lips.
'What was that for?' she asked smiling and weaving her hands through his.
;I love you ore than anything Rory, and I want you to know that I would never hurt you.' Her smile fell and she took her hands back.
'How much did she tell you?' she asked staring straight ahead.
'Nothing, she just said you've been hurt before and she'd pretty much kill me if I did too.'
'That's it? Okay.' She said relaxing and looking at him.
'Rory, what happened?' he voice full or care and worry.
'Can you please just drive?' she asked.
'Sure.' He drove back to the apartment, made her a cup of coffeee and joined her on the couch sitting on the opposite end.
'Sit in the chair if you wanna sit so far from me.' She said coldly.
'I just thought—'
'Well I don't.' He smiled and moved closer.
'C'mere.' He said pulling her into his lap. They sat like that for a few minutes.
'Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to tell me your story of military school and not coming home.'
'Okay.'
More soon!
