The week drove Rory crazy this was the only time that she had been away from her daughter for more then the night. Tristan called and said that he would drop Reyna off when they got back in a few hours. She was sitting on the porch as she saw Tristan's car pull up and her daughter running out of the car and hugging her. Tristan was carrying three bags and sat them down Rory was looking at him.
"Reyna I will see you next weekend ok?"
"Ok daddy thank you for letting me go with you." He kissed her hair as she was hugging him.
"Thank you for wanting to come with me." He looked up at Rory now as Reyna ran inside the house. "We need to set up some type of visitation on our own, or I will take it to court which I don't want to."
"You can have her every other holiday and weekends and for a few weeks in the summer is that okay with you?" He nodded before walking back to his car. Rory walked inside with Reyna's bags and sat them down by the door. She saw Reyna was sitting on the couch. "So how was your trip?"
"I had fun daddy took me a lot of places he even let me take pictures." She ran to her bag, pulled out packs of pictures, and handed them to Rory. "Daddy let me play with the camera." Rory saw some of the pictures were of the ground, which made her smile.
Lorelai was sitting at home when she saw Tristan walking up the driveway. He had his hands in his pockets while looking at the ground.
"Sorry about how I was a few weeks ago."
"You were upset I understand Tristan you had a lot on your mind that night."
"I want an honest answer which I know you will give me. Did you really try to get a hold of me after Reyna was born?"
"Yes I did Tristan I called Janlan, the company, and anyone I could think of calling. When I found out you were in France I called the office and they would take messages or you were busy."
"They never told me that you called."
"So how was you time with her?" She saw the small smile on his face and knew he had a good time.
"Great she is wonderful," The smile faded as he was thinking about something. "She is just like her mother." He said the last part quietly as she nodded. "I hope one day I can forgive her but I don't see that happening."
"You both still love each other so much Tris. One day you will wake up and want to forgive her and might even want to be with her."
"But by then she will be married to Jess and be happy. Where will that leave me the same place I'm at now lonely?" She nodded as they sat in silence for a few minutes.
"Where are you staying right now?"
"My old house in Hartford for now."
"What about a job?"
"I have a few ideas but nothing yet. I really don't need to work I have enough money for a while. I need to get going I'll see you later Lorelai." They hugged and then Tristan walked back to his car.
It was the weekend and Tristan was driving to Stars Hollow to get Reyna. She had called him everyday to just talk to him she was still getting to know him. He pulled up and she came running out of the house and hugged him.
"I missed you Rey."
"I missed you to daddy."
"Are you ready to go?" She nodded as Jess walked out was holding her bag for her. Tristan walked up to him as Reyna was already in the car. "Tell Rory I will drop her off Monday morning." Jess nodded as Tristan walked back to the car and the two took off.
"Where are we going?"
"My house in Hartford." She nodded as she pulled a book out and started to read. He knew if she was anything like Rory she hates to be interrupted reading.
Rory walked into the house looking at the mail Jess had left for work after Tristan had picked Reyna up. The house was so empty to her after five years of having Reyna all to herself she was feeling selfish and wanted her back for herself. Her phone rang and she looked under the couch and pulled it out. Her hand was on something sticky which was peanut butter.
"Hello."
"Hi mommy."
"Hi what are you doing right now?"
"Daddy is cooking and I was helping until I wanted to talk to you."
"Are you being good?"
"Of course."
"Did you have peanut butter when you talked on the phone with your dad yesterday?" She heard some giggling over the phone.
"Maybe."
"It is all over the phone, and what was it doing under the couch?"
"I don't know I put it on the coffee table yesterday. Did you ask Jess about it?"
"I don't think that Jess put it under the couch Reyna." She heard someone yelling over the phone.
"Lunch is ready I have to go mommy I love you."
"I love you too Reyna, be nice for your dad." She hung up the phone and looked at her hand with peanut butter still on it. Jess walked in there house and saw Rory washing the phone off and shook his head.
"What are you doing?"
"Washing the phone it had peanut butter on it."
"How did that happen?"
"Reyna."
"Have you noticed something different since she has been around Tristan?"
"No what are you talking about?"
"She doesn't want to listen to me anymore like she use to." She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Jess she loves you she is just confused with her father in her life now this is just so new to her give her time."
"Yea I just don't like this."
"Well Jess he is her father and she is just getting to know him."
"That is the point she has known me since she was a little girl. I helped you raise her and now he is here what two weeks and she acts like she doesn't have to listen to me."
"Jess she is five years old one day she is into things then the next day she isn't. Give her sometime she will change again."
Tristan was putting the dishes into the dishwasher as Reyna was brining in the leftovers and putting them in the fridge. She walked back over to the table and sat down just watching Tristan.
"Your hair is longer." He turned around and looked over at her.
"How did you know that?"
"Mom has secret pictures of you in her room. She would show them to me before I went to sleep. She also told me stories about the two of you. Why were you away for?"
"Your mom left me one morning it must have been after she found out she was pregnant with you. Then my grandfather sent me to France to work for him. Lorelai was the only one who tried to tell me about you which they would not let her talk to me. So a few weeks ago Janlan called and told me that he wanted me to come home and go to someone's party that is where I found out about you." He hugged her again as they were going to go shopping.
Lorelai walked into her daughter's house and saw Rory was lying on the couch changing channels. She sat down in the chair beside Rory who finally turned off the television.
"It is so quiet here."
"Yea it sucks without Reyna or Jess here."
"Where is my future son in law at?"
"I don't know he got mad about Reyna not listening to him. He is also mad that now Tristan is her father figure not him."
"He does know that Tristan is her father right?"
"Yes mom he knows that it is just going to take time for him to get use to it."
"How about we go shopping get you some good books to read when Reyna isn't home."
They got to the mall in Hartford just in time to see Tristan talking to a woman who bent down and shook Reyna's hand. Lorelai saw the jealousy on Rory's face. She shook her head as Rory pulled Lorelai away so Tristan could not see them but she could see Tristan. He was laughing as Reyna sat down and started to eat her ice cream. She then saw Tristan kiss the woman's cheek and sit down beside Reyna.
"I'm not in the mood to shop mom let's go home and get something to eat."
"Rory I am here to shop and that is what I'm going to do now lets go." She grabbed her arm and they went shopping.
He knew she was watching him he saw her when they first walked near the food court. He was talking to one of the women who worked for him in France before being sent back to Hartford to work. He saw them hiding behind the tree that they had there. He kissed her cheek that was nothing new to him he done it all the time. After seeing them walking away, he sat down beside Reyna.
"Did you see your mom and grandma?"
"Yep they are not really good at hiding. I always found them when we us to play hide and seek."
"So what do you want to do know?"
"Toy shopping would be nice."
"Okay let's go."
She was sitting on the porch when she saw Tristan pulling up. She saw he had his hair cut to the length when she first saw him. After kissing Reyna who walked over to see Lorelai, she wanted to talk to Tristan about what she had seen at the mall.
"What you're using your own daughter to pick up women now?"
"What are you talking about Rory?"
"I saw you at the mall using Reyna to pick up women."
"I was not using her to pick up women."
"I saw you kissing her Tristan."
"You have no say in what I do Rory you lost that five years ago."
"I do when you have my daughter."
"This coming from the engaged women to a man I had never meet."
"That man was here when I was pregnant; he was here when I was walking up at two in the morning to feed her which is more then what I can say about you." She closed her eyes after sayings that to Tristan since she knew it was her fault not his.
"Well whose fault is that Rory? Tell Reyna I will see her next week."
"Why didn't you come home all those years after you left?"
"You should know that answer since you were working with my grandfather behind my back to keep me in France."
"I tired to call you right before I gave birth."
"That is funny when you gave birth I was sent to Japan by my grandfather which was out of the blue. You need to get with him and come up with better lies to tell me Rory these aren't working out." She turned her back to him not knowing what to say to him. "You were never going to tell me were you? Rory what did I do to you that made you keep my own daughter away from me?"
"Nothing Tristan you done nothing I was just scared of what would happen. I thought that you would do what my father did by not keeping promises like him and I didn't want Reyna to have to do what I did."
"How could even think that Rory I was always there for you no matter what happened."
"How about when you left me in high school?"
"I had no choice in that my father sent me away and you know that."
"How about college when we broke up and you started to see that girl?"
"You just said it we were not together Rory you were the one who was seeing Logan behind my back. I forgave you, I never done anything with her Rory except talk, and the only thing I talked about was how much I missed you." She had tears coming from her eyes now as he walked up to her. "I loved you Rory, hell after all of this I still love you that is what makes this so hard seeing you with him." He leaned down and she closes her eyes waiting for his lips to touch hers. He was about to kiss her when his phone rang causing Rory to hurry inside the house. He looked at his phone it was his grandfather he let it go to voice mall.
