"Oh when did you get home, Mom?" Rory asked her Mother wanting to avoid the question.
"Don't 'Oh when did you get home, Mom' me, Rory", Loralei told her daughter in an exasperated tone.
"How about we take this in the kitchen", Rory said taking Bella out of her Mother's arms.
Rory turned on the tv for Audrey who sat next to Jess and happily begin to watch the children show that begin playing. Once Rory was sure Audrey was settled she handed Bella to Jess and followed her Mother into the kitchen.
"Now will you tell me what's going on, Rory", Lorelai asked her daughter.
"Well today at school we started a new project in Health class", Rory started.
"Rory this is not the time to tell me what you did at school today", Lorelai interupted Rory.
"Mom this pertains to the story, now may i go on with no further interuptions"? Rory asked her Mother.
Lorelai nodded mutely and Rory continued on with her story of Caden and the children and also Tristan.
When Rory was done Lorelai hugged and spoke up,
"I'm proud of you for not letting him take those children back to his house".
"Thanks Mom", Rory said smiling at her.
Rory and Lorelai went out into the living room and started talking to Audrey and got to know her.
After about thirty minutes the doorbell rang.
Rory went to answer and when she saw the person on the other side of the door she gasped.
Caden stood on the other side of the door holding three bags plus a diaper bag. But what made Rory gasp was the cut just under his eye and the black eye that was just starting to form.
"Oh no Caden, what happened?" Rory asked taking the bags from him.
"Pop wasn't too happy about me leaving. Pushed me around a little and told me not to come back that he never wanted me there in the first place", Caden told her with an icy voice.
"Oh No! I'm sorry. Come inside and let my Mom have a look at your eye. You might need stitches", Rory told him and grabbed his hand dragging him into the living room.
"Mom this is Caden, Caden this is my mom, Lorelai Gilmore - Danes", Rory said introducing the two of them.
"Oh my god, what happened to your eye", Lorelei asked.
Caden just shrugged and let Lorelai bandage up the cut.
When she was done Caden was sitting on the couch feeding Bella, Lorelai decided they needed to chat.
"How old is Bella", Lorelai asked Caden.
"She'll be five months in a few days", Caden told her looking down proudly at Bella.
"And Audrey?" Lorelai asked smiling at the little girl.
"Five and a half", the little girl said smiling at Lorelai.
"And how did that happen", Lorelai asked being nosy.
"Erm well My Mom was diagnosed when i was in the 5th grade. And that was the same time my Dad started sleeping around. And almost a year to the day My Mother was diagnosed Audrey was left at our doorstep only a week old. Then a few days after Audrey's first birthday my Mother died. I was in the 7th grade", Caden told her.
"Who takes care of Bella while you are at school", Lorelai asked.
"My next door neighbor. She is a nice eldery lady and does it for free. And when days i have to work she watched Audrey too", Caden told her.
"Where do you work?" Lorelai asked still prying.
"I work as a cook at a bakery called Westons", He told her.
Rory and Lorelai both smiled thinking free danishes.
"Okay well here is what we are going to do", Lorelai started.
Both teens turned to her and gave her their full attention.
"Caden is going to move into the guestroom with Bella and Audrey will move into Rory's room with her. The lady will continue to watch the children while you are at school. and once the baby is born then Caden will move into the apartment at Lukes ,no rent has to be paid, and will work there the days he doesn't have to work at Westons. And one of us who is not busy will handle the children" Lorelai told them happy with her plan.
"That sounds great but what baby are we talking about", Caden asked clearly confused.
"Oops", Lorelai let out.
"Mine", Rory spoke up, "Mine and Tristan's child".
Caden gave an apologetic look.
They continued to talk and when Luke came home they told him the whole story.
That night Rory laid in bed with Audrey at her side since they had yet to get the other bed out of the nasement for her.
Just as Rory was drifting to sleep there was a knock on her window.
Rory looked outside her window and was surprised to see a very disheveled Tristan standing there.
