Ch 17

"Rory" Tristan yells coming into the apartment. It's about 2:30 on a Thursday. We have a four day weekend from school and it's going to great to relax.

"Hey" I say walking out with clothes and adding them to the suitcase.

"Okay what is going on because I'm suffering from major déjà vu Mare" he states and I laugh.

"Yes, I'm leaving but you're coming too" I state walking back to the bedroom.

"And where exactly are we going" he questions following me.

"Italy" I state like it's a common everyday thing.

"Okay" he drags out.

"It's Columbus Day weekend Tris, Pop called and wanted to know if we wanted to join him this weekend since we don't have school until Tuesday and I agreed. All I was doing was waiting for you because I have no idea where you put the passports and finish packing. The plane is waiting for us" I say and walk back to the living room with my shoes, leaving him confused.

"Can you fly, did you call the doctor?" he says walking out with passports in hand.

"Yes, and I already had my check up this morning and everything is fine. I can fly until December so don't plan anything that involves jetting off someplace for New Years or Valentine's Day. Oh and next week I scheduled a sonogram for Friday, we can finally find out what I'm carrying and decorate the nursery" I smirk grabbing the passports and adding them to my carry on.

"Do I need to do anything besides carry these" he questions looking around at the two suitcases and two carry ons.

"Are you taking your laptop" I question, knowing I packed mine.

"I need to, I was planning on finishing that midterm essay this weekend" he says.

"Carry on, then I have to pee and we'll be set" I state heading to the bathroom as he shakes his head. My bladder holds nothing anymore.

We arrive at JFK to see that Janlan is already there.

"Hey Pop" Tristan says greeting his grandfather.

"Did you pack everything I said my dear" he questions me and I nod.

"Down to the tie clip" I state. When he called, he gave me a list of things to bring with us. I thought it was odd, but then thought that maybe there was a benefit or Gala we have to attend. Tie clips, cufflinks, my birthday presents from last week (diamond stud earrings from dad, sapphire and diamond bracelet from Tristan, Grandma Trix's cross diamond pin from my grandparents) and undergarments for a gala. Tristan looks at me and I shrug. I don't know what is going on.

"Did you call Lorelai and cancel the shopping day tomorrow" Tristan questions as we buckle up on the plane.

"I tried four times at the house, then on her cell, at the inn and at Luke's. I couldn't find her anywhere. That's weird, but I figured she'll call me back sooner or later" I answer.

"That reminds me, can I have your cell phones" Janlan states sitting across from us and we look at each other and then at Pop.

"Why" Tristan questions.

"No interruptions, if Lorelai calls, Teresa will tell us. Other than that, I want you two to relax and enjoy this weekend. It may be the last one for a while" he says and Tristan pulls out his phone as I hand Janlan mine.

"You're up to something aren't you Pop" Tristan state holding onto the top of his phone as Janlan as the end.

"Me, boy never" Pop smirks and I laugh. That's exactly what Tristan says when he's trying to surprise me.

"Now, I want you my dear to sleep for a while after we get in the air. You'll need your rest" Pop says and I yawn. I'm always tired lately. The plane takes off and we have dinner before I turn in.

"Mare" Tristan says snuggling up behind me.

"Hey" I say looking at him over my shoulder.

"We're landing in about 20 minutes, sleepy beauty, it's time to get up" he smirks.

"Sleepy beauty needs a kiss from a prince to do that, when you find one let me know" I smirk rolling back over and moves me so I'm lying under him. He gently kisses me on the lips and I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him closer.

"As much as I would love to give you more right now Mare, Pop is right out there and we're landing" he says breaking the heavy and passionate kiss we had going.

"Fine, but I want a rain check" I state and he laughs.

"Of course" he smirks getting up and helping me up. "Go freshen up and I'll be out there" he says kissing me gently and walking out.

"Sleep well my dear" Pop questions as I walk over and buckle up.

"Surprisingly yes, what time is it?" I question.

"About 730am here and midnight at home" Tristan answers and I yawn.

"Can we go back to sleep when we get there" I state and they laugh.

"Not possible my dear, that's why I had you sleep" Pop says standing up and going to cockpit and I look at Tristan.

"I'm just as clueless as you Mare, the old man refused to tell me anything" he states.

"Did you sleep" I question knowing how grumpy he gets when he's over tired.

"A few hours on the couch" he state.

"You should have joined me" I state rubbing his thigh.

"And that's why I didn't" he smirks looking at my hand. "When was the last time we slept next to one another without having sex Mare?" he questions and I smirk. Every night, it's always making love to one another before falling asleep in each other's arms.

"I guess not" I smile and he leans over and kissing me.

"What is going on here" Tristan questions as we exit the limo at the Villa. I look around at the catering truck and cars. What is going on?

"You're late" Emily announces coming out and I look at Tristan what is she doing here?

"Pop" we say looking at Janlan.

"A bride is never late for her own wedding Emily, you were just simply early" he smirks walking into the house.

"Wait…what" I state.

"Did he just say…"Tristan says looking at me and I'm just as shocked as he is?

"Yes, yes…now go inside and find your mother and then you and Tristan will be having lunch in your private room before separating for this evening's events. Wedding is tomorrow at sundown" Emily says before going to the caterer's and yelling.

"Mom's here" I state still not believing that Pop tricked us.

"Well that explains why you couldn't get her, Mare" Tristan smirks looking at me.

"What?" I question.

"They want us to get married, tomorrow" he states and I nod.

"So I heard" I laugh.

"Come with me" he says taking my head and pulling me around the house to the private garden that Lizzy had, like the secret garden.

"Tristan what is going on, I'm hungry can't we eat?" I question.

"Not yet" he says running into the gardening shed and grabbing the key to open the door.

"Tristan what are you doing" I question as he lifts me up and carries me inside the garden before closing the door with his foot. Last time we were here, we made love under the stars and stayed out here all night. He places me on the swing and knees down. "Dugray what are you doing" I state confused.

"You are my world Rory. Everything you do, everything you give me is amazing. I know that this was forced on us at first and we hated it. But we made it passed that. We moved on and fell back in love with one another. I love you with everything that I am Rory. More than I ever did before. I love that you're carrying our child again and that I get to experience that with you. I will love you and treasure you for the rest of my life, if you marry me. Marry me Mare, Not because it's forced but because in your heart it's right" he says and I'm crying as he opens the red leather box from Cartier and I see this beautiful 5ct solitaire with small diamonds down the sides of the band; simple and elegant, perfect.

"Yes" I say nodding my head and he slips the ring on my left hand before standing up and pulling me up to him.

"I love you" he says cupping my face.

"I love you too Tristan" I say before he captures my lips with his.

"We're getting married" I smile at him and he lifts me up and spins me around.

"This is just the beginning Mare" he says as I see flashes go off.

"You didn't think we would let this pass without getting pictures did you kid" Mom says and I look to the door to see the photographer standing with her.

"Intruding much" I state.

"Me, never…Nice speech bible boy, Hell I would marry you too" she laughs coming closer and hugging us both.

"Hands off mother" I state pulling Tristan back to me.

"Now Mare, play nice" he smirks and I hit is arm. "Violence already mare" he smirks again.

"Okay, now let's eat" Mom announces and I smile.

"About time, I'm starved and eating for two you know" I state following her before Tristan pulls my hands and I turn back to him.

"I don't care if they were all watching Rory, I didn't know and I don't care. I meant every word" he says and I smile.

"I know you did, and I didn't know either. I was so focused on you that nothing else mattered" I say leaning up and kissing him.

"Let's get you fed" he states intertwining our hands and heading out of the garden.

We had the dinner outside on patio of the Villa and it was beautiful with all the lights and food was amazing. Sookie, Luke and Lane were all there along with my parents, grandparents and Tristan's family, just family like a normal rehearsal dinner. "My I borrow you my dear" Janlan says and I nod standing up and following him inside the house. He walks into the den and removes a book and the wall moves. Secret passages and here I thought Tristan and I found them all in high school while we were here.

"This is my Lizzy's vault, my dear. I haven't been in here since she passed on but I have a good feeling that she would want you to have what's in here. She would have loved you my dear" he says spinning the lock and I see that it's Tristan's birthday. January 17th.

"Go on my dear, I think you know better than anyone what she wants you to have" he says walking away. I enter the vault and everything is beautiful. The gorgeous antique vanity and mirror with silver combs and jewelry. Trunks along the wall and I wonder what she has in those; pictures of her family and one catches my eye right away. It's a silver frame with My Angel written on it. But it's the picture itself that I smile at. It's of Tristan and Lizzy. They are sitting at the beach house in Connecticut and they are both smiling at the camera. He looks so happy and you can tell she loves him more than anything. I lift it off the shelf and look closer. She has a diamond angel necklace on that matches the silver angel charm that Tristan wears under his shirt. He really is her angel. I feel something on the back of the picture and turn it over. It's a key that's taped to the back. Looking around I see a wardrobe and wonder if it fits.

"Here goes nothing" I say inserting the key and it unlocks. I open the door and see the most beautiful wedding gown, strapless gown with what looks like diamonds sewed into the bust to the waist, with a full bottom with ruched pieces making it look like thousands of layers in it. It pure white still because of the blue sealed wrapping on it, I smile thinking that she married Janlan in that.

"It's beautiful isn't it" I hear Janlan say and I nod. "I want you to have it my dear. I have seen the gown they chose for you and this is more fitting for the gracious and princess that you are. Lizzy would want you to have it" he says and I look stunned.

"I can't, Julie should have worn it" I say.

"She may be Tristan's sister and my own daughter didn't wear it, but neither of them were marrying Lizzy's angel. You are" he says taking the dress out and handing it to me. "Please" he says and I'm crying.

"Are you sure" I question knowing that this is everything I would want in a wedding dress. I'm just hoping that it would fit.

"It will fit my dear. She was about 20 weeks pregnant with Derek when she wore this" Janlan smiles at me and turns the dress over so I can see the lace corset back.

"I love it" I say.

"Bring it upstairs then and wear it. To watch my grandson marry the love of his life in the same dress that my Lizzy wore is perfect my dear. Let it bring you as many years with Tristan as I had with Lizzy or more" he says kissing my cheek and walking ahead of me. "Oh and Lorelai" he says and I look up. "Everything here belongs to you so use whatever you feel like" he winks leaving. Now I understand where Tristan gets it all from. He's so much like Janlan and I love it. Surprising me, loving me, being my everything.

So what do you think? Review and let me know!
