Tristan and Rory were driving to the graveyard so he could talk to his grandparents of course he got his grandmother some flowers. Tristan pulled in and got out of the car as Rory grabbed the flowers and was walking right beside him. Rory put the flowers down where Tristan did last time.
"So a lot has happen since the lat time we were here. I'll start with me moving out and now I'm living with Rory and her mom in Stars Hollow. I'm now on my own with everything he no longer has any hold on me. This isn't even the best news it gets betterI'm going to be a father and I can't wait for the day. Rory is about ten or so weeks along we found out a few days since I last talked to you." Tristan looked over at Rory who had her arms around herself. "Well it's getting cold and I need to get Rory home so I'll talk to you two later." Tristan kissed his hand and put it on the statue and the two walked away. "I want to show you something." Rory nodded and Tristan drove off.
Tristan pulled into a long driveway and Rory saw the most beautiful house ever. Tristan got out of the car and took her hand and they walked up to the door and he unlocked it and walked inside. The inside was as beautiful as the outside and Rory walked around the house and went into the study as Tristan went somewhere else. Rory found a book and started to read. After about twenty minutes Tristan walked into the study and found her reading.
"Hey dinner is waiting for you."
"Okay I am hungry what are we having?"
"You'll just have to come with me and see." Tristan took her hand and they walked into the dinning room. The table was bigger then her grandparents Tristan pulled out her chair and uncovered her plate it was a cheeseburger and fries. Rory looked up at him.
"I thought I wasn't aloud to have this stuff?"
"If you don't want it I'll make you something else."
"Touch it and die." Tristan laughed and sat down across from her they were just finishing dinner when Rory thought about the place.
"Tristan who's place is this?"
"Ours."
"How did you buy this place?"
"It was my grandparents place and when grandfather died he left it to me."
"Wow so what are you going to do with it?"
"I was thinking that one day we might move in here. It's close to your moms place and we could still see her when ever you wanted to."
"Maybe after school we could move in here with our family." Rory put her hand on her stomach and smiled at Tristan who walked over and put his hand on top of hers.
"We should get home,"
"We are going to stay her tonight if it's okay with you?"
"Then I need to call mom."
"Already taken care of now let me show you around."
Tristan and Rory walked upstairs and he went to the room clear down the hall and opened double doors.
"This is the master bedroom." Rory walked inside and saw the room as big as her house was. Rory walked into the closet and it was bigger then the kitchen at her moms. The bathroom was as big as her room.
"This was your grandparent's room?"
"Yea."
"So if we lived here this would be our room?"
"Yea but we would get a new bed." Rory laughed at him and walked over and kissed him. Tristan finished showing the house to Rory and then they walked into his room. As soon the door was closed Rory kissed Tristan and they walked over to his bed and fell down on it.
Tristan heard Rory whimpering and rubbing her back he rolled over and started rubbing her back for her and kissed her shoulder. Rory closed her eye's relaxing at Tristan's touch. Rory then rolled over and kissed him and put her head on his shoulder.
"You hungry?"
"Yea I could eat."
"You can always eat."
"So what are you saying?"
"Nothing now let's get dressed and go home." Tristan kissed her again and the two got dressed and left the house.
"I want to stop and see if I got any mail." Tristan pulled into his parent's house.
"You want me to go with you?" Tristan nodded and the two walked up to the door and was just standing there.
"Do I knock or just go in?"
"What do you think?"
"I've never knocked before but since I don't live her anymore."
"So you knock." Rory knocked on the door and the house kepper answered to door.
"Mister Tristan it's nice to see you again."
"You two Walter is my parents home?"
"Yes they are in the living room."
"You remember Rory my girlfriend."
"Yes I do it's nice to see you Miss. Rory."

"Tristan it's nice to see you." Tristan's mom hugged him and then Rory. "It's nice to see you too Rory."
"You too Mrs. Dugrey." Rory was thinking how much she had changed since last night which means they weren't happy about something.
"Did I get any mail?"
"Yea I'll get it for you." Tristan's mom left the room.
"Tristan sit and talk for a few minutes." Tristan and Rory sat down across from his dad.
"Let me guess dad this has something to with my company?"
"Yes I was wondering who was going to run the company while you're in school?"
"I was going to go down to the office and talk to some of the board members today after taking Rory home."
"No one ever told me about a meeting."
"Really you didn't get the memo?"
"No what time is the meeting?"
"I'm sorry if you didn't get the memo then you can't come." Tristan stood up when his mom walked in and handed him his mail Tristan gave it to Rory and they walked out to his car.
Rory was looking throw the mail and she stopped at a letter from Yale and not seeing the letter from Harvard.
"Tristan you got a letter from Yale."
"Open it." Rory ripped it open and started to read. Rory started to cry and Tristan got worried that he didn't get in.
"Rory what does it say?"
"You got in Tristan." Rory handed the paper to Tristan who was trying to read and drive at the same time.
"I got in wow call your mom and see if you got any letters today." Tristan handed her his cell phone.
"Mom did I get any mail?"
"Maybe." Rory could hear her mom she was happy.
"From where?"

Rory and Tristan pulled into the house and she ran into the house where Lorelai handed her the letters. Rory ripped open the letters and read them. Rory was smiling when Tristan walked inside she ran over to him and hugged him.
"I got into both of them."
"That's great Rory I'm proud of you." Tristan picked her up and kissed her. Lorelai walked out and saw them and Rory went to her mom and hugged her.
"I got into both schools mom."
"Wow I know I had a smart daughter."
"Very smart."
"So now is the time to decide where are you going to go Harvard or Yale?" Rory looked over at Tristan then her mom.
"Tristan did Harvard send you anything?"
"Yea I didn't get in." He was diapointed knowing that Harvard was Rory's dream school.
"Well it's settled I'm going to Yale then."
"Rory honey Harvard is your dream."
"Mom if going to Yale means that Tristan and I can still be together then that's where I'm going."
"Rory are you sure?"
"Mom if I go to Harvard and Tristan goes to Yale we will never see each other and our child will never see one of us."
"Okay then my baby is going to Yale." Rory hugged both Tristan and Rory and went to tell Sookie the good news.
"I got to get changed and go to my meeting." Tristan kissed her again and walked up to his room and Rory followed him. Rory was on his bed looking over the info that Yale sent them. Tristan walked in and held up three ties.
"Which on says I'm seventeen soon to be eighteen and I own a multi-million dollar company?" Rory looked up and was looking at the ties.
"Black and blue striped on." Tristan put the other too away and tied his tie and sat down beside Rory.
"We could go and look for an apartment off campus?"
"Yea we will soon."
"I got to go I take it Sookie is going to cook for us?"
"Probably so don't eat anything she always fixes a lot of food." Tristan kissed her and grabbed his jacket and left. Rory put some pillows under her feet and closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Tristan come home after about two hours and walked up to his room and saw Rory sleeping in his bed he walked over and laid down beside her. Rory opened her eyes and smiled at him Tristan leaned down and kissed her.
"Did you have a nice nap?"
"Yea I like your bed."
"I like you in my bed." Tristan rolled her over so he was no top of her now and kissed. A knock on his door and Tristan rolled off and Lorelai walked inside and sat on the bed.
"So Sookie wants to have dinner tonight at the Inn so get dressed and I'll meet you two there in twenty minutes." Lorelai got up and left and Rory stood up and stretched her shirt rode up some and Tristan tickled her. Rory swatted his hands away until he caught her wrist and pulled her into his lap and kissed her.
"I need to get ready for dinner Tristan."
"Fine." He kissed her again and Rory left the room.
It was the day before Christmas Eve and Rory was watching movies with her mom Tristan was out with Jess again which was goo for her so she could spend time withher momjust the two of them. Lorelai wanted Tristan out of the house so Rory could eat junk food with her because Tristan never did. A knock on the door and Rory went to answer it.
"Dad" Rory jumped and hugged Chris and Lorelai walked over to the door and hugged Chris.
"Hey kiddo how are you doing?"
"I'm getting fat." Rory put her hand on her stomach and Chris laughed.
"No you're still beautiful."
"So Chris how are you doing?"
"Good Lor how about you?"
"I'm good."
"How long are you staying for?" Rory asked pulling him inside.
"The night I'm leavening tomorrow afternoon."
"You can stay here Chris if you want to."
"Thanks Lorelai but what about Tristan?"
"He has his own room."
"It's still amazing that this house has so many rooms what four?"
"Yea four rooms and only one bathroom it's very hectic around here in the mornings."
"Yea with you two I can imagine."
"Tristan takes up more time then we do." Rory said laughing.
Chris sat down and watched the movie with Lorelai and Rory. Rory fell asleep on the couch she hasn't been able to stay up for Lorelai movie nights since being pregnant. Chris and Lorelai looked over at her and then at each other.
"You can take Tristan's room he can sleep on the couch tonight I'll write him a note."
"I can take her to her room I can sleep on the couch."
"No Tristan can he's use to it by now."
"How are you holding up?"
"I'm fine Chris."
"I can always tell when you're lying Lor."
"I'm just worried about her Chris I know that Tristan has been with her everyday and all, but he is what he is a seventeen year old former playboy and I don't want her heart to be broken."
"I don't know Tristan that well but he won't leave her Lor."
"Chris you don't know that they've been more distant lately."
"Lorelai that's doesn't mean anything."
"But they have been fighting more lately."
"Lorelai every couple fights they aren't going to agree on everything."
"I'm going to bed I'll write Tristan a note and leave it on the door." Lorelai wrote Tristan a note and went to bed after showing Chris to Tristan's room.
Rory heard the whole conversation between her parents and it got her thinking about her relationship with Tristan and she was crying she went back to sleep on the couch. Tristan came home around midnight and saw the note from Lorelai about Chris having his room and about Rory on the couch. He walked over to the couch and saw Rory was still sleeping and he kissed her forehead and picked her up and carried her to her room and laid her down on the bed and covered her up. Tristan walked out to the couch and laid down and closed his eyes. When Rory woke up she was in bed covered up she walked out of her room and out to the living room where Tristan was sleeping she walked over and knelled down in front of him.
"Tristan are you awake?" No movement from Tristan and she got closer. "Tristan are you awake?" He rolled over so his back was to her now and she was getting mad. Rory walked into the kitchen and got some ice and walked back over to the couch and dumped it on his bare chest. Tristan sat up quickly and looked over to see Rory who was trying not to laugh. "Good you're awake we need to talk now." Tristan rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch it was three in the morning.
"This can't wait until later?"
"No we need to talk now." Tristan picked the ice from the couch and Rory sat down beside him. "Why have you been more distant lately?"
"I haven't been more distant."
"Even my mom has noticed it Tristan." Rory was getting mad now. "What are you going back to the way you were seeing other women?" It was Tristan's turn to get mad now.
"You wake me up in the middle of the night saying I'm cheating on you how dare you?"
"That's who you are Tristan you get tried of the women and you move on." Tristan got up and put his pants and shirt on and shoes and walked over to get his jacket and picked a folder up and handed it to her.
"I would never do that to you I love you here is what Jess and I have been doing Merry Christmas." Tristan handed her a folder and walked out the door leaving a now crying Rory on the couch. Rory opened the folder and saw houses and apartments near Yale that were available he had been looking since they got into Yale and she felt sick now accusing Tristan of cheating on her. Rory laid down on the couch and she could still smell Tristan on the pillow that he was using and cried her self to sleep.
Lorelai walked down the stairs and saw Rory not Tristan was on the couch sleeping and she had a folder to her chest and Lorelai could tell she had been crying. Lorelai took the folder and saw what Tristan was up to and she felt guilty now for accusing him. Rory opened her eyes and saw her mom was looking in the folder. When Lorelai heard Rory crying she sat down and hugged her.
"I said he was cheating on me and he left." Rory got out still crying.
"He'll come back Rory he loves you and his clothes are still here."
"Mom I hurt him last night you should've seen his face." She started to cry then went to the bathroom. Lorelai followed her and after Rory was done throwing up she helped her clean up and they walked down the stairs and saw Chris was standing there looking at them.
"Where's Tristan at?" Rory started to cry again and ran to her room.
"He left after Rory said he was cheating on her last night."
"She must of heard you last night."
"Yea it's my entire fault that he left and she is hurting right now." Chris kissed her forehead and walked over to Rory's room and knocked and walked in.
"Hey kiddo."
"Hi dad."
"Look Tristan will be back because he loves you Rory so he'll be back."
"Thanks dad."
"I got to go so I'll call you later this week."
"Okay love you."
"I love you to kiddo." Chris kissed her forehead and walked out and left.
Tristan was sitting in the study of his grandfather's place or his place now thinking about what had happen. He know she had all the right to accuse him of cheating because of his past but he changed for her and she should've known that. Tristan know running away wasn't a good option but if he didn't then he might've said things he would have regretted. As he walked around the house remembering his grandfather and all of his advise that he gave Tristan and the good times hey had together he smiled. Then the memory of his mother calling him and tell him his grandfather died he was crushed.
Flashback:
Tristan was sitting in his room with Rory it was destiny to him that they meet again and this time he wasn't going to screw this up. Rory was laying on his bed watching a movie he had ordered for them he couldn't even remember the name he was just looking at her the whole time. His cell phone rang and he went to answer it. He walked out of the room into the hall.
"Hello"
"Tristan it's mom."
"Hi mom how are you?"
"Not good honey I have some bad news."
"What's wrong mom?"
"Janlan died last night." Tristan felt his whole world shatter when his mom said that. "Tristan you still there?"
"Yea mom what happen?" Tristan ran his hand over his face trying not to cry.
"He had another heart attack."
"When is the services?"
"In a few days are you coming home?"
"Yea I'll be in the next flight out." Tristan hung the phone up and walked back inside and sat down on the bed. Rory could see he was upset and she sat down beside him.
"Tristan what's wrong?" Tristan just cried when she talked to him and she put her arm around him and he put his head on her shoulder. Tristan brought his arms around her and hugged her for all he's wroth as she rubbed his back.
"He died Rory." Rory looked at him.
"Who Tristan?" Tristan looked up at Rory and it broke her heart to see him like this.
"My grandfather died last night." Rory covered her mouth up knowing how close they were from Tristan talking about him.
"I'm so sorry Tristan."
"I need to go home tonight."
"Go talk to Mr. Manning and tell him what happen." Tristan nodded and got up and walked out the door.
Rory was in her bed looking at pictures of the places Tristan had picked out she didn't know why he might not want to be with her anymore. She tried calling him he didn't answer his phone she know he was at his grandfather's house but she know he wanted time to think. Rory laid down and remember the day she saw him again.

"I'm so sorry Tristan."
"It's okay Rory just remember that I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose." Tristan kissed her again and rested his forehead on hers and kissed her nose. Tristan put her back on the ground and they walked over to Lorelai who hugged Tristan. Rory was now on cloud nine having Tristan back and she wasn't going to let him go again.

After presents were open and a trip to Luke's they were sitting on the couch watching A Christmas Story for the fifth time it was time to go to The Gilmore Christmas party at the Country Club. Rory walked out from her room and went up to Tristan's room she saw him he was just out of the shower and a towel around his waist. Tristan smiled at her as she licked her now dry lips. Rory walked over to him and finishing pulling him inside his room and kissed him and ran her hands in his damp hair. She was about to take the towel off when he grabbed her hands to stop her.
"As much as I would love to do this we have to go to your grandparent's party."
"I could fake being sick so we can stay here." Rory tried to kiss him but he pulled his face back and pushed her out the door and locked it.
"Tristan open this door right now."
"In a few minutes."
"Don't you dare get dressed now open this door." Rory was ponding on the door and Tristan was laughing at her.
"I'm almost ready."
"When this door opens you better still have that towel around you."
"Sorry but the towel's on the floor and pants are on and now the shirt is begging buttoned up."
"You suck Tristan being dressed all the time." Rory looked over at her mom who was standing there smiling at her and Rory's face went red clear down to her neck. Rory heard the door unlock and quickly got into the room.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom heard us talking the whole time." Tristan laughed and Rory smacked him.
"Hey just a few seconds you wanted my body now you're hitting me?"
"I'm a very complex person."
"Yea I've noticed that." Tristan was putting his tie on when Rory grabbed the tie and pulled his lips to hers.
"Let's go you two we are going to be late." Lorelai knocked on the door and walked down the stairs. Tristan grabbed his jacket and put it on and gabbing her hand. When they got to the door Tristan helped Rory with her coat and they were on there way.

"I would set Paris up but Jess might not like that." Paris was surprised at Tristan.
"Who told you I'll kill them give me names Tristan."
"Jess told me so you'd have to kill your boyfriend."
"What happen to Jamie?" Rory asked and Paris shrugged.
"He didn't call me back so after I saw Jess again and it felt right."
"Well we're happy for you two." Tristan said wrapping his arms around Rory.
"Well I'm going to go see you two later." Paris walked away to talk to someone else she knew.

"No I'm not felling so good."
"Let's go get your mom and get out of here." Tristan took Rory hand and walked over to Lorelai who was talking to her mom who cornered her.
"Grandma could we go home I'm not felling to well?"
"Of course Rory."
"Thanks grandma and tell grandpa Merry Christmas for me."
"I will go home and I hope you fell well."
Tristan was sitting in Rory's room watching her sleep he hadn't left the room since coming home. Lorelai walked into Rory's room to cheek up on her it was around three and she saw Tristan was sitting at Rory's desk watching her sleep.
"Go to bed Tristan she'll be fine."
"I'm going to sleep on the couch incase she needs anything."
"I'll get you a blanket and pillow." Tristan nodded and walked over to Roy and brushed some hair from her face and kissed her forehead. Rory opened her eyes and smiled at him.
"You feeling better?" Rory nodded and closed her eyes again. "I'll be on the couch if you need me."
"Stay" Tristan looked over at Lorelai who nodded, Tristan lay down beside her, and put his arm around her a she snuggled up to him as he closed his eyes.
When Rory woke up, she looked over at Tristan, smiled, kissed him lightly on the lips, and got out of bed. Lorelai was sitting at the table drinking something and Rory looked over at her.
"It's frozen coffee no smell so it's ok. How are you felling today?"
"Better then last night."
"To much stress around you right now."
"Yea but Tristan is back so no more stress."
"What did he get you for Christmas?"
"A necklace and matching bracelet." Rory walked into her room, brought the box out, and showed Lorelai.
"Wow must've cost him some money?"
"Yea but he's the owner of a multi-million dollar company so he can afford it."
"You better marry him fast Ms. Patty was watching him the other night."
"Mom we aren't ready for marriage and you know that."
"I'm joking you two will get married when you're ready."
"Thank you for a second I almost thought Emily Gilmore was here." Rory said getting her some juice and laughing. "Have you noticed since Tristan has been here we have no room in the fridge?"
"He does keep it stocked up and no room for my shoes."
"Yea the cupboards are full so where are your shoes?"
"Under his bed."
"How about if he's getting dressed and you need shoes?"
"Well we'll have to deal with that when it comes up."
"You aren't going to see my boyfriend naked."
"Well if he's changing and I need my shoes then I guess I will be seeing him naked."
"If that happens then you can tell me and then I'll go get your shoes."
"How about I don't know which ones I want?"
"Then you have to wait until Tristan is done then go in."
Tristan walked out of Rory's room rubbing his eyes and the two women was now looking at him. Tristan looked at them and just walked up to his room and lay down. Lorelai walked up and into his room and was looking under his bed for her shoes.
"I moved them." Tristan mumbled into his pillow.
"What do you mean you moved my shoes?"
"I moved them from under my bed."
"Where are they?"
"In the baby's room closet." Tristan said pulling his covers over his head. Rory walked upstairs and into his room and sat down on his bed.
"Tristan lets go somewhere." Tristan rolled over, pulled the covers down, and looked at Rory.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I just want to go somewhere."
"Take your mom she'll go anywhere you want to." Rory lay down beside him and kissed his nose and jaw. "You're cheating Rory."
"What are you talking about?" Rory kissed down his throat and he closed his eyes.
"All right we'll go anywhere you want to." Rory smiled and kissed him and went to her room. Tristan closed his eyes and then got up out of bed and got dressed. The trip was to bookstores in Hartford then to his place to lounge around.
Thanks for the reviews speaking of them in the past some people have talked about my writing and I know it's not the best but I do my best. This is fun to me but when people only talk about how bad my writing is it's not really that much fun anymore. This was just a way of showing that Rory knows Tristan has changed but the voice in the back of her head is always going to tell her that he is still the same guy she first knew. On to the next chapter more problems for Rory and Tristan will they work everything out?
