Tristan was sitting in the floor with Abby playing one of her games. Coffee was on the couch sleeping as Rory had Eric in his room feeding him. Abby won and done her victory dance as Rory was walking down the stairs. The dog jumped off the couch barking at the door. Rory walked over and opened it to she her grandmother standing their.

"Grandma nice to see you again come in."

"Thank you Rory how are you doing." The dog was standing right in front of Emily still. "Why do you have this dog for?"

"That was Abby's birthday gift from Tristan and me. Coffee go lay down." The dog walked away from the two.

"Well your grandfather's mother is coming for a visit."

"Let me guess she has no idea about Eric does she?"

"She does but not about Abby."

"Okay what do you suggest I do?"

"I don't know I just wanted you to know I just wanted to give you a heads up about it. Where is Abby and Tristan at?"

"In the study playing games."

"How is everyone doing?"

"Good everyone is doing well."

"I need to get back home. We will have dinner Friday night I already call your mother."

"We will see you Friday night grandma." Emily walked out the door and Rory picked the phone up and called her mom.

"Hello"

"What am I going to do mom?"

"I take it mom told you about gran."

"Yes how could no one tell her about Abby?"

"I don't know Rory it might not have come up."

"When they talked about Eric why didn't they say 'by the way they have an older daughter who they adopted.' Very simple to say not hard at all."

"I know Rory I don't know what to tell you."

"How do you think she will take it?"

"We will find out on Friday I need to get back to work call me later."

"Tristan we need to talk right now." Tristan walked out of the study and saw Rory put Eric in his playpen. "My great grandmother is coming here and we have dinner with her this Friday night."

"Okay what's wrong with that?" He asked taking her hand knowing she was nervous about something.

"She has no idea about Abby, but everyone told her about Eric."

"Okay I see the problem here. It's not like we can leave her out of the family dinner, so we will take her and not worry about it."

"What if something happens?" He kissed her forehead as she hugged him.

"We will just leave like we always do." Rory laughed that is what they did when someone talked about there family they did just leave.

"Tristan we can't just leave like that."

"We have done it before why not?"

"This is my great grandmother we are talking about not one of Emily Gilmore's stuffy parties." He kissed her before she picked Eric up and they walked into the study.

Rory was dressing Eric he had started teething so he was drooling all over the place. Tristan walked in and gave him a cold washcloth and he started chewing on it. Abby walked in she was wearing a pair of dress pants and a turtleneck sweater.

"Mommy will you do my hair?" Rory handed Eric to Tristan as Abby sat down in front of her.

"How do you want your hair?"

"Pig tails please." Rory done as Abby asked her to hoping everything will workout tonight.

"Abby no mater what happens tonight I want you to remember mommy and daddy loves you a lot."

"I love you guys too."

"All done go tell daddy we're ready." Rory kissed her forehead before Abby ran out of the room. Coffee was sitting on Rory and Tristan's bed looking at her. "Everything is going to work out tonight right?" The dog barked and Rory kissed his head before walking out of the room. "Paris we'll be home in a few hours let Coffee out if he needs to go."

"Yea I know what to do. I hope everything goes well tonight."

"Me to bye."

Rory walked up to the door holding Abby's hand while Tristan was carrying a very fussy Eric in his arms. Tristan adjusted the diaper bag on his shoulder as Emily opened the door.

"What's wrong with Eric?"

"Teething, hi grandma how are you doing?"

"You're not very funny." They all walked into the living room and saw gran was talking to Richard.

"Mom Rory is here." Trix looked up at Rory and the small girl with her.

"Who is she?"

"This is my daughter Abigail Dugrey Abby for short."

"I thought you had a son."

"We do this is Eric Dugrey." Rory said pointing over at Tristan who was trying to keep him from crying.

"Who is he the father?"

"Yes gran this is my fiancé Tristan Dugrey."

"You two are getting married?"

"Yes we are."

"Let me see your kids." Abby walked over and stood in front of her. "How old is she?"

"I'm four ma'ma."

"Very well mannered. How is the boy?"

"He is six months old gran."

"You look good Rory for just having a child."

"Thank you."

"Let's see the man you're marrying. What's your name?" Tristan handed Eric to Lorelai

"Tristan Dugrey."

"Were you related to Janlan and Elizabeth Dugrey?"

"Yes ma'ma they were my grandparents."

"I knew Janlan since he was a little boy I was friends with his mother."

"I never knew my great grandparents ma'ma but my grandfather told me all about them."

"So tell me about this Abby."

"Abby why don't you go into the bookroom." Rory said and Abby was glad to leave the room. "I adopted her about a year ago gran when her mom left her with us."

"So you took in a child while pregnant. Why did you let her do that Lorelai?"

"She is eighteen and can make up her own mind gran."

"You should've stopped her from doing this."

"And what send the little girl to a foster care. I would never do that to her." Rory could see Tristan getting upset as he walked over and picked up Eric. Tristan walked into the study where Abby was looking at some books.

"That was rude of him just leaving the room."

"Lucky he didn't leave the house." Rory said seating down beside Lorelai.

"How can you marry him Rory he's not Gilmore type of person."

"I'm marrying because I love him. Grandpa and grandma like Tristan he just doesn't like when people talk about his family."

"Someone who puts family first is okay with me. What does he do for a living?"

"He runs the family business which grandpa works for now."

"Is that right Richard?"

"Yes Trix I'm the COO of the company."

"Does he pay you well?"

"I've never gotten more money from a job Trix." After a few minutes, Tristan walked out, gave Rory Eric, and looked over at Trix.

"Mrs. Gilmore I'm sorry I left the room that was uncalled for and I'm sorry."

"That is alright now have a seat, and tell me about your job."

"Well that was not as bad as it could have gone." Rory said sitting the diaper bag on the floor. Tristan followed with a sleeping Eric on one shoulder and Abby on the other shoulder. Rory took Eric from him as Tristan carried Abby up to her room. Abby woke up long enough to change into her pajamas.

"Goodnight daddy I love you."

"Goodnight baby girl I love you too." Tristan kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. He saw Rory putting Eric to bed and walking over to him. Rory hugged him as they walked down to the living room.

"We should take about when you want to get married."

"Rory I'm ready when ever you are. Just tell me when and where and what to wear I'm their."

"Would you like to get married before or after school is out?"

"I was thinking after unless something comes up but like I said when you're ready I will be ready also." Tristan kissed her as they lay down on the couch. Tristan's hands were going up her shirt when Rory grabbed them.

"Let's go to the bedroom." Tristan smiled and kissed her again.

"Daddy wake up." Abby looking right at Tristan Rory sent her up to wake him. "Daddy time to get up." Abby had tried everything she could think of so far. Abby got on the bed and started to jump on it. Tristan quickly grabbed her and started tickling her.

"Did mommy send you up here?" He asked letting her go.

"Yep." Abby was now lying right beside him. Tristan moved the hair out of her face. "She said if you didn't come down right now she was going to eat all the Apple Jacks."

"She did well I guess we have to get down to the kitchen then." Abby nodded and jumped off the bed. Tristan was right behind her walking. They walked downstairs seeing Rory feeding Eric some cereal. "So how much did he eat today?"

"All of it which he has been lately."

"We might want to move him to more solid foods." Tristan kissed them both as he picked up the cereal, two bowls, and grabbed the milk. He poured him and Abby each a bowl of Apple Jacks. "Do we eat here or the living room?"

"Living room please daddy." Tristan nodded and grabbed both bowls and they walked into the living room.

Rory was at the paper typing Logan really has not talked to her since Tristan went over to his place. Logan walked over with a girl on his arm.

"Hi Rory." Rory looked up and saw Logan was with Summer she tried not to laugh.

"Logan, Summer how are you too doing?"

"Good how are you doing?"

"I'm great thanks for asking."

"You two know each other?"

"She went to Chilton with Tristan, Paris, and me. She also dated Tristan for a while in high school. I need to get home you two have fun now." Rory walked over to Paris who was finished and told her about Logan and Summer Paris laughed while they walked out of the paper. Rory walked into the house it was quit she looked over at Paris who grabbed an umbrella from the rack. They walked inside and saw Tristan and the kids were watching a movie. Rory kissed everyone on the forehead, walked into the kitchen, and saw Tristan had cooked her and Paris dinner. Rory walked out after eating and saw Eric was standing up holding onto the couch. Rory ran to get the camera so she could have pictures of everything Eric done. She had Tristan buy those deposable cameras in balk. After blinding the poor kid, Rory was smiling watching him trying to walk which he kept falling down.

"Dada." Eric said seeing Tristan on the other side of the couch with Abby on his lap.

"Come here Eric come on." Eric took a few steps before falling down on his butt again. Tristan moved Abby off his lap, picked Eric up, and sat down with him. Abby sat back down on his other leg as Eric took her hand and stuck it in his mouth. Abby laughed as he gummed on her hand. Rory took a few more pictures before walking over and sitting down beside them.

"Blow mommy a kiss E." Abby said and showed him how to do it. Eric laughed and done it himself. Abby clapped and he done it again and clapped his hands. Rory kept blowing kisses back to him. Eric reached out for Rory, she took him, and he kissed her.

"Tristan why don't you take Abby and go get some more food for Eric."

"What do you want me to get him?"

"Just a few jars of fruit and vegetables nothing to gross." Tristan stood up with Abby still in his arms as they walked out to the car.

Rory walked into the study where Tristan was doing his homework.

"Tris can you feed Eric for me I have a test tomorrow and really need to study for it please?"

"Yea what do you want me to feed him his cereal?" Tristan stood up taking Eric from Rory

"Yea and some fruit you got him." Tristan nodded and walked out of the room while Rory grabbed her books and sat down where Tristan was.

Tristan was in the floor helping Abby with her homework when Lorelai walked into the room.

"You can all celebrate I have arrived." Abby ran over to her and hugged her. Tristan kissed her cheek and took her bag to her room. Rory walked down in from the kitchen.

"Tristan your son has gotten his first tooth."

"How do you know that?"

"I breastfeed him don't I?" Lorelai busted up laughing at this as Rory looked at her. "It's not funny mom that really hurts." Eric was reaching for Lorelai and she took him.

"Like Tristan has never done that to you before." Lorelai whispered in Rory ear and she blushed looking down. "That is what I thought. So where is your dog? Coffee come here boy." The dog came running over to her and looked up at her. Lorelai petted him before walking into the living room.

"Mom Eric is eating more solid foods now." Rory said proudly of her son. "And Abby is still tops in her preschool class. Tristan and I are getting A's and Paris is hardly ever here anymore."

"Where is she at all the time?"

"She is at the paper bugging them most of the day. When she comes home she is doing her homework in her room."

"She is not cheating on Jess is she?"

"No mom her and Jess are doing fine as far as I know."

"Well Jess seems okay so I guess you're right. So what are you going to do when school is out?"

"I don't know yet."

Abby walked in she had her shoes and coat on. "Mommy are you ready?"

"Yea let me get my coat and go tell daddy we're leaving."

"Where are you going?"

"To get our hair cut." Rory kissed Eric as Tristan walked out from the kitchen. "We're going to go if you need anything call me." Rory kissed him before walking out to the garage.

Rory walked inside and heard Eric crying she saw Tristan was holding a cloth to his arm. She walked over and saw a scratch on his arm no blood but it was red.

"He was trying to walk with like before and tripped on the dog's tail and his arm got scratched."

"Mama." Eric said reaching out for her. Rory took him and kissed his arm, which he stopped crying now his head was on her shoulder. Tristan looked at her hair it was at her shoulders now. "I like your hair."

"You should see Abby's hair." Tristan saw Abby walk inside and he smiled at her. Abby's hair was little bit passed her shoulders and was curled.

"Daddy does you like my hair?"

"Yes I do It is very nice." Tristan touched her hair and Abby laughed. Lorelai walked inside the room and stopped looking at Rory and Abby's hair.

"What did you two do to your hair?"

"We got it cut grandma, do you like it?"

"Yea it's very nice." Lorelai wasn't to sure about it but it is not her hair.

Rory was walking around campus when Finn walked behind her and covered her eyes. Rory smiled at this Finn was the only one who done this to her.

"How are you doing Finn?"

"Good love how are you?"

"Everything is good. Are you actually going to class today?"

"Yep not hung over this morning so I decided to go to class and meet the hot women there."

"Finn you have been in class before and talked to everyone already."

"Talking to women hung over is not talking to them love when you are sober and thinking clearly."

"I will take your word for that Finn now if don't hurry up we are going to be late for class." They walked to class together Finn has become one of her closes friends since coming here.

After class, Finn was coming over he done this all the time. Rory saw Louise at least was here which was not expected. They walked inside the house and saw Louise was doing up Abby's hair as Paris was watching Eric since Tristan had to talk to his teacher about a paper.

"I'm home and I have company."

"Hi Finn how are you doing?"

Paris love I always knew you wanted me."

"I have a boy friend named Jess who would kick your ass."

"Paris you need to give Abby a dollar and no cursing around my baby." Rory took Eric from Paris as Finn was watching Louise.

"Hello who is this lovely lady?"

"Louise Grant our friend from Chilton." Paris said as Finn sat down beside Louise.

"I always love blondes."

"You said you liked red heads."

"Blondes, redheads it doesn't matter you should know that Paris."

"Finn quit hitting on my five year old daughter, before I kick you out of my house." Tristan said walking into the room.

"Tristan you do have a lovely daughter, but she is a bit young for me I was talking about this blonde right her." Louise looked over at him and smiled.

"What are you doing tonight Finn?"

"Are you offering something Doll?"

"Maybe. Abbes you are done I need to get ready for my date tonight with Finn." She hugged the little girl before walking over to Finn and kissing him on the cheek. "You can pick you up at six." He nodded and she gave him the directions to where she was staying. He watched her walk outside. Finn pulled Tristan into the study.

"Have you ever hooked up with her Mate?"
