Abby's birthday was today and she was up at six o'clock running into her parents room and jumping on the bed. Tristan was the first to wake up he saw Abby was smiling at him. He grabbed her and pulled her down on the bed beside him.

"Guess what today is daddy?"

"Monday."

"Nope it's my birthday, and I get the puppy today."

"Mommy and I are picking him up today after school." Rory woke up and saw Abby smiling at her.

"Happy birthday Abby."

"Thank you mommy." Lorelai opened the door and saw Abby already had them up.

"Is there a birthday girl in here?" Abby raised her hand and Lorelai walked over to her. "Get dressed and we'll go to Luke's for you birthday breakfast." Abby ran down the stairs and Tristan got out of bed.

"We should be home early today a slow day for test."

"Okay we'll be at the Inn like always. Rory your grandmother called she wants to have a birthday party for Abby Friday."

"I'll think about it mom." Rory stretched and put her legs over the edge of the bed and Tristan helped her up.

Tristan walked down the stairs to see Rory was doing Abby's hair in pigtails. After Rory finished, the four walked to Luke's with Abby talking all the way. When they walked inside Luke had balloons and brought out some blueberry pancakes on a table Luke walked out and Abby hugged him.

"Thank you Luke." Abby hugged Luke as Jess walked over to the little girl and handed her a gift. "Can I open it mommy?" Rory nodded and Abby ripped open the paper it was some books Abby hugged Jess.

Abby walked into the Inn right behind Lorelai reading one of the books Jess had gotten her. Abby sat down in her chair that she always sat in her legs curled up under her.

"Wow she's more like her mom every time I see her." Abby looked over and saw Chris just walked inside.

"Grandpa." Abby ran over to him and hugged him as Lorelai walked out from the kitchen.

"Chris what are you doing here?" Lorelai hugged him.

"I would miss my granddaughter's birthday now would I?"

"Rory will be surprised to see you."

"Sherry had the baby."

"What did she have?"

"A girl Georgia Hayden."

"Congratulations Chris."

"Abby I need to talk to your grandma alone."

"Go see if Sookie needs any help Abby." Abby put her book down and walked into the kitchen.

"Lor I wanted to say I'm sorry for not being there for you or Rory all these years."

"You have made up for them Chris you have been here for the last few months and we appreciated it." Chris nodded and Abby walked out from the kitchen with her lunch. Abby sat down and picked a book up and started to read as she ate.

"So what did mommy get you for your birthday?" Abby looked over and smiled.

"Mommy and daddy are getting me a puppy."

"Wow what kind?"

"German Sheppard."

"What color?"

"Brown."

"Boy or girl?"

"Boy."

"What's his name?"

"Coffee." Chris laughed.

"Grandma helped you with the name?"

"Yep."

"That's nice of them." Abby reached into her bag and pulled out a photo and handed it to Chris it was the puppy.

"That's him and me from the other day."

"Coffee looks nice." Abby nodded and Chris gave her picture back to her.

Tristan and Rory just finished the last test of the day. They were on there way to a pet store to get a cage and some supplies for the dog. After buying the cage, food, toys, and other things, they went to get the dog. Tristan pulled up to the house of the woman where they get the dog. The dog was waggling his tail as Tristan picked him up the puppy and he licked his face. Tristan put the dog in the cage and he was whining now. Tristan drove home and luckily, the dog did fall asleep just a few minutes after they left. Rory opened the door to see her father was sitting with Abby.

"Dad." Rory walked over and hugged Chris. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you and Abby." Abby looked over at Tristan who was bring the dog inside. Abby ran over as Tristan put the puppy on the floor. Abby sat down and the dog knocked her over licking her face.

"No animals allowed." Michael said and Abby stuck her tongue out at him

"I want to talk to the manager." Lorelai walked out after hearing that and saw Abby was on the ground playing with the dog.

"You brought him home?"

"We just picked him up after school." Lorelai walked over and petted the dog. "Take him home so he can get settled in." Tristan put his leach on as Rory picked Abby's things up for her so they could go home. Rory walked over to her dad and hugged him.

"Call me when it's time kiddo."

"Tristan will dad."

"I have to get back so I can't make it to graduation I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"Not really but I will see you next month just call me. Love you kiddo."

"Love you to dad." Chris kissed her forehead then hugged Lorelai and picked Abby up.

"Okay so I gave your grandma your gift so you can open it tonight."

"Thank you grandpa." Abby hugged him and then walked over to Rory as Chris walked over to Tristan.

"Take care of them Tristan."

"I will Chris."

"Call me."

"Your name is tops on the list." Tristan shook his hand and Chris left the Inn. Tristan and Abby walked Coffee out to the car and Tristan put him in the cage and Abby in the back seat. Rory walked out, Tristan helped her into the car, and they took off for his house.

Tristan pulled the car into the driveway and helped Rory out of the car and then it was Abby's turn he lifted her out and sat her on the ground and she waited for him to get Coffee out of the car. Tristan opened the cage and Coffee got out and licks Tristan's face as he sat him on the ground and he ran barking at the gnomes and Tristan laughed until Rory walked out to the porch and looked at him. Tristan ran over and pulled the leash doing what the woman told him to do to punish the dog. Abby ran right behind Tristan but tripped and fell she started to cry as Tristan ran over and picked her up.

"Shh its okay Abby you're okay." She was still crying as Tristan carried her inside with the dog walking behind him. Tristan sat her down on the couch and looked at her. Rory walked over and sat down beside her and Abby hugged her still crying. "She fell down outside I don't think she's bleeding." Tristan let the dog go and he went sniffing around the house.

"Shh where does it hurt Abby?" Abby pointed to her right knee as Rory rolled up the pant leg and looked she had a small scrap on it no blood. Tristan picked Abby up and Rory kissed he leg as Tristan sat back down rubbing her back.

"Hey no crying on your birthday." Tristan said smiling at Abby. Abby nodded as Tristan whipped her tears away. Abby sat down on the floor and Coffee walked over to her and put his head on her lap as she petted him. Tristan walked onto the kitchen, grabbed Lorelai's camera, and took a picture of Abby and Coffee.

Seven o'clock and it was time for this small get together for Abby because she wasn't ready for a big party yet so it was just going to be Luke, Jess, Richard, Emily, Sookie and Jackson. Lorelai talked her mom out of having a big party for Abby so they came here. Abby was wearing a light blue dress and a pair of black shoes. Tristan was holding the puppy in his lap as Abby was sitting in on the couch talking to Richard and Emily about her new puppy.

"It's time for the cake." Lorelai said and everyone walked into the kitchen and Jess put Abby on the chair. After they sung happy birthday to her she blow out her four candles and everyone clapped. Lorelai and Sookie handed out cake and ice cream Tristan had put the puppy in his cage and walked outside to see Rory was in the swing upset.

"What's wrong?"

"How could this be Abby's first birthday party Tristan she's four this should be her forth." Tristan whipped her tears away with his thumbs.

"I know but look at it this way at least she will always remember her fourth birthday."

"It's not far to her Tristan. We have missed her first four birthdays and I fell so badly about it."

"I do to Ror but we can't do anything about that now what we have to do in go back inside and make this birthday better then all the others." Tristan reached his hand out, Rory grabbed it, he helped her up, and Abby walked outside.

"Mommy, daddy are you coming back inside?"

"Yea mommy needed some fresh air all better now." Rory took Abby's hand and they walked inside. The gifts were opened which included a kids kitchen utensil set from Sookie, Some dresses from Emily, the white envelope from Richard, Luke gave her money since he really didn't know what to get the little girl and Jess had already gave her his gift today. Tristan walked out to the car, opened the glove box, and pulled out a jewelry box. Tristan walked over to her and handed the box to Abby. Abby's eyes grew big when she saw a silver locket necklace. Abby handed the necklace to Rory who put it on her. The gift from Chris was opened it was a box set of Walt Disney DVDs.

When Tristan woke up the next morning he walked down stairs and saw Abby playing with Coffee Tristan sat down in the floor and looked at Abby.

"Go get his leash and we'll take him for a walk." Abby nodded and found his leash and gave it to Tristan. "Go get some shoes on baby girl." Abby put her blue flip-flops on, Tristan took her hand, and they stared to walk outside. They walked around some then Coffee started to bark at something Tristan pulled his leash but he wouldn't stop. Tristan walked closer and saw it was Dean and he started to laugh at this.

"Well bagboy what are you doing out so early?"

"It's none of your damn business."

"Watch your mouth around my daughter bagboy."

"What are you going to make me?" Tristan laughed at him again as the puppy kept barking.

"Not in front of my daughter bagboy I'll meet you later." Tristan pulled the puppies leash and they walked home. Abby was talking the whole way home about her party last night and all the gifts she got Abby yawned.

"What time did you get up?"

"The clock had a five, three zero."

"You've been up since five thirty no wonder you're tired." Abby yawned again and Tristan picked her up and carried her home. Tristan opened the door with a sleeping Abby in his arms and a hyperactive dog trying to pull him back out side to bark at the gnomons. Tristan pulled the leash and Coffee walked inside the house. Lorelai walked out from the kitchen and took the dog from Tristan as he walked into Abby's room and laid her on the bed. Rory walked down on her uniform and kissed Tristan and her mom.

"Where's Abby?"

"She fell asleep while we were walking the dog." Rory sat down, the dog walked over to her and put his paws on the chair, and Rory petted him. "What are we going to do with Abby today?" Rory asked as Tristan who shrugged his shoulders.

"While I'll wake her up just like every other day."

"I'll put the dog in his cage and Lorelai can come over and take him for a walk."

"Wow how did I get involved in this?"

"Abby will be there with you so really she'll be walking him just with you holding his leash."

"You're lucky that I like you." Tristan laughed and walked into the bedroom to wake Abby up. Tristan nudges her a little bit and she opened her eyes.

"Time to go with grandma." Abby nodded and reached her arms up to Tristan who picked her up and she laid her head on his shoulder. Tristan sat her down at the table so he could go and get her bag for Lorelai. Abby had her head on the table as Rory was brushing her hair.

Rory walked out of her last class and sat down outside waiting for Tristan she had the rest of her finals today like everyone else. She has been working on her speech and still thinking of names for the baby. Tristan walked out of the school and saw Rory on the bench writing something down. When he got over to her, he covered her eyes, Rory smacked his hands, and he uncovered her eyes and sat down beside her.

"What are you working on?"

"My speech and thinking of more names."
"So how many names have you thought of?"

"Forty so far." Tristan looked over at her with a questioning look in his eyes.

"How did you come up with so many?"

"I haven't slept that well the last few nights."

"You should've waked me up Rory."

"Why should you have to stay awake with me?"

"Because I want to Rory okay so wake me up next time."

"Okay." She agreed but knew she wouldn't be waking him up.

"So when are we going to pick out names?"

"How about we go to the doctors first, then go home and pick Abby up and the three of us will pick out names?" Tristan kissed her and stood up helping Rory up.

Tristan pulled into the doctor's office and helped Rory inside, she signed in, and they sat down. There was other teenagers sitting in the office and Rory noticed that all of them had there mother with them and no boyfriends or the baby's dad not saying that they were not together but they went here. Tristan was looking at a magazine as a girl sat down beside him smiling at him.

"Hi Tristan." He looked over at her.

"Do I know you?"

"Linda I work for your fathers company." Tristan closed his eyes and he remembered her she worked for his company.

"Did you say my fathers company?"

"Yea he's told everyone that you sold your shares to him."

"Well he is lying to everyone then."

"He said that's why you haven't been to the office lately."

"Really no I have different priorities right now."

"What her?"

"Yea this is my girlfriend Rory Gilmore."

"Your father was right."

"Right about what?"

"When he said."

"You know what I really don't care what he said because he means nothing to me."
"Lorelai Gilmore." Rory and Tristan got up and walked into the back with the nurse.

After the doctors Tristan drove to Rory's grandparents place and Rory looked at him and Tristan got out of the car and then helped Rory and they walked up to the door and knocked. The housekeeper answered the door.

"Miss. Gilmore, Mr. Dugrey hello." When Emily heard this, she walked over and the housekeeper left.

"Rory, Tristan it's nice to see you."

"Hi Emily is Richard in?"

"He's in the study Tristan." Tristan walked into the house and walked over to the study as Rory sat down with Emily and was talking about the doctor's visit.

"Come in." Tristan walked inside and sat down after shaking Richard's hand.

"I would like to ask you if you would like to work for my company."

"What would you like me to do?"

"Be the COO."

"Isn't that your father's job?"
"He's trying to take over everything and I can't let that happen."

"So you're going to fire your own father?"
"Yea and I can't wait until tomorrow."

"I would like to work for you Tristan. You do know that I don't really have any experience doing what your company does?"
"You are a good business man Richard and I would love to have you work for my company."

"Okay I'll do it Tristan."

"Thank you Richard it means a lot to me." Tristan shook his hand and walked out of the study.

"Rory we need to get home get Abby." Rory nodded and hugged Emily, Richard, and they walked out to the car and left.

The next morning Rory woke up, saw Tristan was getting dressed in a suite, and tie she knew something was going to happen today but what he was wearing.

"Where are you going?"
"I need to go to the office today."

"Why stay home with me Tristan." Tristan walked over and sat down on the bed, Rory put her arms around him, and he kissed her.

"As much as I would love to stay home the first day after school is out I really have something to get done today."

"What are you doing today?"
"Let's just say it involves me and firing some people today."

"Who?"
"After today I'm going to be the only Dugrey who works for the company."

"You're firing your dad?"

"Yea I'm firing him he has said awful thing about you and Abby and now telling people that it's his company I don't think so."

"Is this what you really want to do?"

"Yep he's gone after today." Tristan kissed her again and walked out of the room to see Abby with Coffee Tristan kissed her and walked out of the house.

Tristan pulled up and the guard stopped him.

"I need your ID." Tristan pulled out his ID card and the guy was surprised.

"I thought you sold the company sir?"

"Nasty rumor that I plan on clearing up today thank you." Tristan pulled inside, parked his car, and walked into the elevator. Tristan walked up to his office, which had his fathers name on the door he ripped the nameplate off and opened the door to see his father and secretary on his desk kissing. Tristan clapped his hands and whistled as the two broke apart.

"Wonderful performance dad really nice." The secretary fixed her clothes and was about to walk out. "You're fired by the way." She turned to his father who looked down. "Have your desk cleaned out by the end of the day." Tristan walked over to his father and put the nameplate down on the desk. "I found this on my door care to explain?"

"When was the last time you were here Tristan?"

"I was here last month I believe."

"You can't run a company only showing up a month you need to be here everyday."

"I have a four year old daughter and a girlfriend who is almost nine months pregnant and you want me to leave them to come here? I'm not you I care about my family and want to be with them the entire time dad."

"That's why you will never make a good business man for Tristan."

"I don't want to right now dad. I'm eighteen and for once in my life, I have everything I always wanted and I'm not giving that up. You might not have cared about mom, or me but I care about Rory and Abby more then anything in this world dad. I'm not going to chance losing them because of a job."

"I always care about you and your mother."

"Right is that why she was going to be bent over my desk? I don't really care about this I want answers."

"About what how my company is making a huge profit?"

"No my company I do own the most shares here dad eighty to what ten for you and mom."

"What are you doing here Tristan?"

"I'm here for a staff meeting so call all of your friends and higher staff into the office." His dad picked the phone up and calls about twelve people and Tristan sat down at the desk with his feet up and picking up a cigar from the desk. "Gentlemen I'm Tristan Dugrey the CEO of this company have called you here to fire you all." They were all worrying about the future. "Then my girlfriend's words came to my mine about being nice to other people so I'm going to give you a fifty-fifty chance at keeping your jobs." Tristan pulled a coin from his pocket and walked over to the first man. "I want you to call it in the air and if you're right then you keep your job, but if not then you lose your job. To anyone losing there job today I'm offering severance pay to you all. In it you will be paid your full salary and will get one-third of your bonuses for a full year no matter what, and keep full medical and all those other nice things you have here." Tristan looked at the man who swallowed and said heads it was heads. "Go back to your office and we'll talk later about your job." The man quickly left and then the next man said heads and it was tails. "Right your name down so I know who you are then go clean out your office." This went on, out of the twelve, five were let go, and seven kept their jobs. "Dad you're fired clean out the office I need to meet with the new COO at noon. Tell mom I said hi."

"Do I get the offer like everyone else?"

"Of course but only half the time." Tristan opened the door and his name was now on it.

Tristan pulled up and saw Abby was sitting on the porch with Rory brushing her hair. Abby looked up and saw Tristan loosening his tie as he walked over to his two girls and kissed them both on the forehead.

"You're beautiful." Tristan whispered in Rory's ear and she shook her head.

"I'm so big Tristan look at me." Rory stood up and Tristan smiled at her and kissed her stomach as the baby kicked.

"You are very pretty mommy." Abby done like Tristan and kissed her stomach.

"Thank you guys." Rory sat back down beside Tristan who took her head and rubbed her palm. "How did your dad take the news today?"

"He was mad I fired five today but gave them a good deal."

"At least you gave them something." Tristan kissed her hand as Abby walked in front of him and he picked her up. They sat outside enjoying the quite.

Today was the day of graduation Tristan was of course in a suite and tie as Rory walked in and turned around to Tristan and he kissed her back before zipping up her dress. Rory turned around and kissed him then walked down to Abby's room and saw the little girl combing her hair. Rory got out her blue dress, which Emily got her for her birthday. Lorelai walked down in a black dress and high heel boots on. Luke knocked on the door, Lorelai answered, and kissed him Jess walked inside, hugged Rory, shook Tristan's hand, and picked Abby up. They were off to Chilton for the last time as students. The ceremony was fast for Rory, but not for Tristan who was almost asleep until he lined up for his diploma.

"He severed as the Student Council President Mr. Tristan Dugrey." Tristan walked over, shook everyone's hand, and walked off the staged. Tristan was watching as Rory walked up on the stage and he clapped as she made a face at Lorelai and Abby. After picking up his hat Tristan walked over to Rory and hugged her then Paris as Abby ran over to him and he picked her up putting his hat on her. Lorelai walked over and took pictures of Tristan, Paris, Rory and Abby who wouldn't get down from Tristan's arms. Abby then ran over to Louise who she got along with really well.

It was now June and Rory was do anyday now which had everyone on edge. Tristan was laying on the bed thinking about everything form the ceremony and a run in with his father. His father was begging for his job back, which made Tristan laugh and walk away. Tristan walked down, saw Rory cleaning everything, and knew it was about time so he called Lorelai.

"Independence Inn Lorelai speaking."

"It's Tristan you might want to come home."

"Why what did that damn dog do now eat my couch again because if he did then I'm going to treat him like I treat coffee."

"Rory's cleaning the whole house spotless and she is around thirty-nine weeks."

"You think?"

"I' don't know I just wanted to give you a heads up incase."

"I'm not leaving this phone today so just call me anytime and make sure you have everything ready."

"Everything is right beside the door I'll call you on our way over to pick you up."

"Okay call me."

"I will." Tristan hung the phone up and walked over to Rory who was vacuuming the floor.

"I can't stop Tristan and you remember what the doctor said."

"I already call your mom and I have the numbers in my pocket and your bags are right beside the door." After a couple of hours of cleaning the whole house was, spotless Rory walked into the kitchen to check up on Abby. Rory opened the door and saw Abby and Coffee sitting in the floor.

"Mommy did you pee your pants?" Rory looked down and yelled.

"Tristan." Tristan ran in and looked at Rory.

"It's time." Rory looked down to the floor and Tristan's eyes followed and he quickly grabbed Abby, put her and Rory's bags into the car, and then helped Rory inside.


Think you for your reveiws as always. I know Tristan didn't really have a right to fire the guys he did. Remember I have no idea about birth forehand, but I have red about it so if anything is wrong I'm sorry. I already know wht the baby is but any one want to make a guess fell free to let me know. I'm glad a lot of people is liking Abby in my story thanks for the feed back on her.
