Chapter 25
TRISTAN POV
Rory wanted to do something for our anniversary this year and I couldn't blame her. It had been a couple of years since we had done anything, and we hadn't spent much time together lately. I needed something amazing. I decided to call the one person that knew Rory the best. I dialed the familiar number.
"Hello." Lorelai said when she answered.
"Lorelai, it's Tristan." I said.
"Hello, son-in-law. What's up?"
"Okay, so you know that mine and Rory's anniversary is coming up right?" I asked.
"I do." She says.
"Well, I need help. She wants to do something, and I want it to be perfect." I told her.
"Well…" She says.
"What? I'm up for anything."
"Rory did mention that she wanted to take a trip. What if you plan a trip somewhere? It's winter so you guys could always go skiing…although Rory's not much of a skier. You could rent a cabin somewhere." Lorelai says.
"That's not a bad idea. Thanks Lorelai." I said.
"Anytime." She said and hung up. I spent the rest of the day working on plans for our anniversary.
That night when I got home, I walked in the kitchen to see Savannah sitting at the breakfast bar working on her homework. "Hi Princess." I said, kissing the top of her head.
"Hi daddy." She said.
"What you working on?"
"Math homework. I have a big test Friday." She said.
"Sounds like fun. Where's your Mom?" I asked.
"She's not home yet. She called though. She said that she had a late meeting but that she'd pick up pizza on her way home." Savannah said.
"Ok." I told Savannah. I headed towards mine and Rory's bedroom to change clothes. When I was done, I grabbed my laptop and headed to the living room. I started looking at real estate. I found a condo that looked really nice. It had five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, study, dining room and a finished basement. It was perfect. I sent an email off to the realtor telling her that I'd like to see it and that if I liked it then I wanted to put an offer in. Whether Rory and I had a baby or not, we needed a bigger place.
An hour later, I'm flipping through the tv channels when the front door opens. I get up and help Rory. She's got her arms full. I grab the pizza and the two grocery bags from her and head to the kitchen. "Hi honey." She says.
"Hi. How was your day?" I asked.
"Busy. I'm sorry I was late. I was in meetings all day." She says. "I talked to Mitchum though."
"And?" I say putting the beer and Rory's bottle of wine in the fridge.
"Well, he was disappointed at first." She says, and I nod. "But, once I explained to him, that I just had too much going on right now to try and get Logan situated at The Times and me go to HPG, he said that he understood."
"Well, that's good." I say, grabbing plates out of the cabinet. "I might have found us a house." I tell her.
"Really? That was fast." She says taking the pizza to the table. "Savannah, dinner!" Rory calls down the hall.
"Well, you said that we needed a bigger place. So, I started looking." I tell her, grabbing us both a beer.
"Well, yeah, I know." Rory said as Savannah came in the kitchen and grabbed a soda out of the fridge. The three of us sat down at the table. Rory looked at Savannah. "How's your English paper coming?" She asked Savannah.
"It's done. Can you proof it for me?" Savannah said.
"Yes, leave it on the table and I'll do it before I go to bed. Oh, and Steph is gonna pick you up after school tomorrow. You dad and I have an appointment." Rory tells her.
"Okay. Are you picking me up after or can I stay at Aunt Steph's?"
"We'll pick you up, but it'll be after dinner. We have our weekly dinner with them tomorrow." Rory says and Savannah nods.
After dinner, Savannah is in her room getting ready for bed while Rory and I are sitting on the couch. Rory is proofreading Savannah's English paper while I'm watching a basketball game. "Wow." Rory says out of nowhere.
I look over at her. "What?" I ask.
She sits the paper down. "Her English paper. It's good." She says.
"Well I hope that it would be for the tuition that we pay that school." I say. Rory takes a drink of her wine. "This might sound stupid, but should you be drinking if we're trying to get pregnant?"
"Probably not. It was just one of those days." Rory says.
"What happened?"
"Well, the day started…" Rory says telling me exactly what happened to make her day so bad.
All in all, my day wasn't too bad. I got mine and Rory's anniversary planned and hopefully she would love what I had planned. I hopefully found us a house. Savannah seemed to be in a better mood now that the three of us were back together. And Rory and I were trying to have a baby. Lots going on in the DuGrey house.
