School was over and they were getting ready to go to Stars Hollow for a few weeks. Lorelai was planning Abby's fifth birthday and getting this ready for Eric's first birthday.

"Abbb." Eric said as Abby reached over and gave him her hand. Eric had her hand and his stuffed dog in the other. Tristan pulled out of the driveway and they were on there way.

Tristan pulled up Luke's so Rory could get her a cup of coffee. Tristan noticed how she had been slipping coffee to Abby. Rory got Abby out and Tristan was getting Eric form the back. Eric was holding Tristan's hand as they walked into the diner. Lorelai turned around to see Abby running over to her. Lorelai hugged her as Abby ran behind the counter and hugged Luke. Eric was holding his hands up to Lorelai who picked him up and kissed him.

"Abbb." Eric was looking he was getting upset when he didn't see her. Abby walked out from the counter and sat down beside them. Eric smiled at her.

"So how is the soon to be birthday girl?" Lorelai asked sitting Eric on the counter.

"I'm good grandma."

"Mom you might want to get Eric off the counter." Lorelai turned around to see him throwing the mustard bottle at Luke then laughing. Rory walked over and told him no Eric just sat there now. "Eric tell grandma your new word. Where is puppy?"

"Coffee." Lorelai busted up laughing while Eric was looking for Coffee. "Coffee." Eric said a little louder he pointed when he saw Tristan was outside with Coffee. "Coffee dada."

"Yea Coffee is with Dada." Rory said as she picking him up when Luke looked at her. "Were going to get them home so we'll see you at the house."

"Yep I will be right behind you." Rory took Abby's hand as they walked to the house.

Rory walked out of Abby's room and sat down beside Tristan. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead.

"So what are we going to get Abby for her birthday?"

"I don't know yet what do you want to get her?"

"I was thinking some dolls and toys. I know she has a lot of them but I was thinking some collectors items for her."

"We will go and look around the mall soon."

"So what about the wedding?" Rory looked down at her ring smiling.

"How about we hold off for a while, since we have enough things to worry about school, Abby starting kindergarten, and everything with Eric."

"That sounds good to me, but if something comes up then we will get married right away."

"Yes we will." Tristan kissed her again before turning back to the movie they were watching. Tristan kept looking over at her he still couldn't believe his luck he was getting married to the women of his dreams.

Rory was feeding Eric while Tristan and Abby were eating at the table. Eric had his stuffed dog right beside him. Eric turned his head from Rory and she knew he was done eating.

"Come here big boy." Rory picked him up and whipped his mouth.

"Rory I'm going to the office today." Tristan said whipping the highchair down. "I can take one of the kids with me if you want."

"No mom and I are going to take them to the park today in Hartford so you can meet us there."

"I will meet you around noon then."

Rory was watching Abby playing on the swings she was having a contest against Lorelai. She saw Tristan walking over to them he was loosening his tie.

"Eric who is that?" Eric looked at Tristan and smiled.

"Dada." Eric was reaching out for him kept saying dada. Tristan walked over to them and picked him up kissing his forehead. Tristan walked over to Abby who was now just sitting on the swing.

"Daddy." Abby ran over to Tristan hugging him. Tristan looked up and saw someone who he never thought he would see again. Tristan gave Eric to Lorelai and walked over to Rory.

"Take the kids for some ice cream or something I will be there in a few minutes." Rory saw what Tristan was looking at and she nodded.

Tristan walked over to the people who was looking at him he was mad. Tristan stopped walking and stood right in front of them.

"So you couldn't take care of Abby, but yet you can have another baby?"

"Hey rich boy this is none of your business."

"She left her daughter on my doorstep and now she has another kid and you say it has nothing to do with me. So what has changed you're tips going up so you decided to have another child?"

"Not all of us are born rich." Stephanie said moving the baby to the other arm.

"You didn't seem to have a problem with me when you left Abby at Rory's place."

"You need to leave us alone or we will take Abby back from you. We know you're not her father." The man said to Tristan who smirked at him.

"What judge in their right mind would give Abby to you two? I will just out spend you I give more money to charities then you two make. So came at me and I will make you wish you never threaten me." Tristan was about to leave then he turned around again. "You know something I don't even know your name."

"Fred Michael is the name so my daughter's name is Abigail Michael." Tristan was right in his face but he didn't do anything he knew that is what they wanted him to do.

"You must not have been that good in bed since she didn't even remember you, but me on the other hand she remembered and I didn't even touch her. I knew I was good but damn not that good. You two want to play games with me and my family you had better be able to take me down, because if you don't I will destroy you." Tristan walked away from the two and pulled his phone out. "It Tristan I need you two look up a couple of people for me. Stephanie Bach and a Fred Michael I need everything you can find. I need as soon as possible thanks Shane. I'm stay in Stars Hollow so just drop them off at my place in Hartford." Tristan walked to his car and went to find his family.

Tristan walked into his Hartford house and was the files sitting in the study. He walked over to the Brandy stash that his grandfather had. A full-unopened bottle was still sitting there so he grabbed it and a glass and whipped it out. He started a fire and opened the first file, which was Fred's file. It said he had three other kids by three women. Tristan saw where the kids were none of them around here. He saw a few misdemeanors for shoplifting nothing major. Tristan had gotten his DNA to run against Abby's to see if he was her real father. Tristan heard the door and saw Rory was standing there looking at him.

"What is going on Tristan you have been quit lately?"

"The run in at the park the other day has me worked up." Rory saw the glass and raised her eyebrows at him. "This was grandfathers from his secret stash." Rory nodded and picked the glass up and finished the little bit in the glass.

"What are you looking at?"

"Just some files about the two of them." Rory nodded not asking Tristan where he got the info at just looking over the things with him.

Stephanie Bach now Michael had two kids Abigail Dugrey and Hunter Michael who was four months old. She was picked up for prostitution and drug charges. She has a college degree from a community college in Maryland, which she still owed loans. Tristan poured him another glass of Brandy as Rory was watching him. Rory knew he would never let anything happen to there family and that is why she loved him. His phone rang and he picked it up.

"Yea."

"Tristan I have the results of the DNA test you wanted me to run and the sample you gave me is Abigail's father."

"Thank you doctor I want the results destroyed."

"Ok." Rory looked over and he nodded.

Tristan walked inside and saw Abby was reading to Eric who was just watching her not making any noises. Tristan kissed both of them on the forehead and walked into the kitchen. Rory was drinking coffee with her mom and Tristan looked at her.

"This is my first cup so don't give me that look." Tristan looked at her again and she smiled at him. "It is ask mom she will tell you."

"It is her first cup today Tristan."

"Like I believe you."

"That hurts Tristan."

"Yea the truth does. Rory remember the more coffee you drink Eric might stay awake more tonight."

"So it's your turn tonight."

"It is not good for him."

"This is my first cup Tristan I will not drink anymore today." Tristan just walked over to where the kids were.

"Dada." Tristan sat down beside Eric who crawled on his lap and gave him a wet kiss on his cheek. Abby laughed and done the same thing to the other side of Tristan's face.

Tristan was holding a sleeping Eric in his arms as they walked into the house. Tristan sat him in his playpen as he walked out to get Abby who was also sleeping. They had just drove back from there week long stay in Stars Hollow. They decided to come home and get the things ready for Abby's birthday party. Tristan sat down beside Rory enjoying the few minutes of quite time. A knock in the door as Tristan rolled his eyes at her. Rory got up, walked to the door, and noticed two people she had not seen before. The dog walked up to Rory and sat down beside her.

"Can I help you?"

"Hi Rory."

"Do I know you?"

"We're your grandparents." Rory tried to close the door but they stopped her. Coffee was now growling at them.

"You don't come around for years and now all of a sudden you want to see me. I told you when you call months ago I don't want to see you." Rory was yelling at them, which woke up Eric who was now screaming. Rory walked inside but not before turning back around to look at them. "Coffee stay." The dog was looking at them still barking as Tristan walked over to them.

"I don't care who the hell you are but you have three seconds to get off my property before I let the dog go."

"This is not over."

"Yes it is never come back here." Tristan slammed the door in there face and walked over to Rory who was trying to get Eric to stop crying.

"Shh mommy didn't mean to scare you." Abby walked down the stairs and walked over to Tristan. He picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"What was all the yelling about daddy?"

"Nothing baby girl just some people made you mommy mad." Abby nodded as Tristan sat her down on the floor. Abby walked over to Eric and grabbed his hand he stopped crying. Rory handed him to Abby who was sitting down on the couch now. She walked over to Tristan and he wrapped his arms around her. Rory was trying not to cry in front of the kids but it wasn't working to well.

"Abby take Eric into the study please." She nodded and walked Eric to the study. "Rory everything will be ok I promise you this. Just stop crying please." Rory was just holding Tristan, as she was not crying now. "I will take care of them Rory nothing is going to happen." Tristan kissed her forehead as she looked up at him.

"You always make everything better I love you."

"I love you to I need to check up on the kids." Rory nodded as she finished whipping her eyes.

Tristan walked down the stairs to see Abby was sitting in the floor with Eric as they were rolling a ball back and forth. Tristan walked into the kitchen and saw Rory was cleaning up Eric's highchair.

"What happened?"

"He was very angry this morning he didn't want to eat."

"I need to take care of a few things today so I will be home later."

"Are you going over to there house?"

"Yea I want to talk to them."

"Be nice Tristan."

"Always am, see you later." Tristan kissed her, walked, and kissed the kids.

Tristan walked up to the door and knocked. The house cleaner opened the door and saw Tristan was standing there.

"May I help you sir?"

"Yes is Mr. and Mrs. Hayden here?"

"Yes sir who my I say is calling?"

"Tristan Dugrey."

"Wait right here please." The house cleaner walked away as Tristan followed her.

"Sir a Mr. Tristan Dugrey is here to see you."

"Tell him we are busy."

"Yes ma'ma." She walked right into Tristan who was standing behind her smirking.

"Wow business must be off right now from the looks of it." They looked at him as he was now smiling at them. Tristan sat down across from them. "Now you see when Rory is upset then the kids get upset then I get pissed off at the people who upset her. Listen to me very closely, you keep this up messing with Rory and I will make you pay."

"What are you going to do you're just a kid."

"A kid with a very large checkbook. I have done some research and found out you are open for a hostile take over and if you don't leave us alone then I'm buying you out."

"We want to see our granddaughter is that so bad?"

"No it is not but your reasons are. You wanted to get good with Rory so she would ask me to bail you out of your debt and then what break her heat and I have to pick her up. I have lived my whole life around people like your self so do not try to play me. I know what to do with people like you and I will." Tristan walked right out of the house before they could say anything to him.

After going to the office to sign some papers Tristan was going home to his family. He walked into the house and smelled some thing. Tristan saw Eric was trying to chase the dog until he saw Tristan was watching him. Eric reached up for him.

"Up dada." Tristan picked him up then walked into the kitchen and saw Rory and Abby making cookies. They had flower all over them self and on the floor.

"What are you two doing?"

"We're making cookies for you daddy."

"Where did you get the ingredients?"

"The store Paris watched Eric." Rory answered taking the cookie sheet out of the oven.

"When did she get back from Stars Hollow?"

"Right before we went to the store, now get your butt out of here so we can finish the cookies."

"Yes ma'ma."

"Tristan how did everything go?"

"I will tell you later Ror."

Tristan told Rory that night what her grandparents wanted she called her father and had him tell them not to see her again. Rory also called Lorelai who called Chris's parents and yelled at them which made both of them fell better.

Abby came running into Rory and Tristan's room jumping on the bed. Tristan opened one eye and saw Abby was still jumping on Rory's side of the bed. Tristan turned the other way and Abby jumped on his back laughing.

"Daddy are you awake?"

"Yea Abby I'm awake happy birthday."

"Thank you daddy grandma called and she is bringing me breakfast from Luke. Jess is coming to and Paris is feeding E which she is not doing a very good job at."

"Why is Paris feeding Eric for?"

"Mommy said she had to go somewhere she wouldn't tell me." Tristan got out of bed with Abby still on his back.

"Paris the food goes into his mouth not the chair." Tristan put Abby down on the table as Paris stood up so Tristan could seat down. Tristan was feeding Eric with no problem. "How are you doing that?"

"Paris he is almost one not twenty you have to be gentle with him." Eric finished his cereal and fruit as Abby handed Tristan the washcloth. Eric hated this part as he was about to cry Tristan was done and let him out of the chair. Abby took his hand as they walked out to the living room to watch cartoons. Tristan knew where Rory was at getting Abby's gifts at the other house where she was going to meet Lorelai also. He walked out and saw Coffee had his head on Eric's lap who was laughing every time Abby did.

It was time for Abby's fifth birthday party and her friends from school were rolling into the house. Tristan was on Eric duty as Rory was talking to the other moms. Tristan noticed that many high school girls were here with there brothers or sisters. Jess was beside Tristan talking as the girls kept looking over at them.

"So how many people do we have here today?" Tristan shrugged his shoulders as he moved Eric to his other arm.

"Rory said around thirty or so but looks like more to me."

"You think?"

"Why do you always have a come back for everything I say?" He shrugged his shoulders as some of the girls were walking over to them.

"So who are you two here with?" Tristan laughed as did Jess.

"I'm with the birthday girl."

"Your little sister is very cute. Her grandmother is a crazy woman, so is her mother."

"I heard the father is hot. So you are her brother and I take it he is your brother too."

"He is Abby's brother, but I'm not their brother. I'm the hot dad you were talking about Tristan Dugrey." There faces got red, the three of them walked away as Tristan, and Jess laughed more.

"What are you laughing at cousin Jess?"

"If Luke and Lorelai does get married I will be related to this family." Jess walked away as Tristan walked outside with Eric. He saw his mom was pulling up to the house and he smiled.

"Hi mom, what are you doing here?"

"I got Abby a gift if that is ok with you."

"Yea come on in she should be in the. That is right you have never been in my house follow me." Tristan handed Eric to his mother as they walked into the house.

Jess had Eric as Tristan went to look for his mother he hadn't seen her since she came. He walked into the study to see his mom had been crying.

"Mom what is wrong?"

"Nothing Tristan I'm fine."

"No your not mom please tell me what is wrong?"

"Your father was in bed with another woman when I got home today."

"What are you going to do about it mom?"

"He said it was the first time he had ever done it." Tristan walked over to his desk and pulled out some papers.

"Mom he is lying to you. Here are some papers of his past up to when I left the house you're free now."

"When did you get these?"

"Before I left home, Mom do you have a place to leave?"

"Yea I did Tristan thank you." Tristan hugged his mother and walked out in time to see the candles being light. He walked behind Abby as she blows them out. The gifts were opened which she got clothes, toys, and money. Now it was time for Tristan and Rory's gift. Abby opened it and saw a charm bracelet for her. Tristan put it on her then Abby hugged both of them.
