Rory lay on the ground until she heard voices whispering in the distance. She knew who it was, but didn't want to get up and acknowledge them. She just kept lying there until she felt a strong pair of arms pull her up. She looked over at her friends and tears glistened in her eyes. Finn, Colin, Logan, and Stephanie had been there when Rory had heard the news.

"He is so cute Rory!" Stephanie squealed at little Brennen.

"I know, I can't wait for Tristan to come home. I hate how they kept him there longer than six months, but he should be home in a month and he will get to see his little man again."

"I bet he's excited to come hoe too!" Steph said.

"Wait, if Tristan comes home, he will restrict me from seeing this little guy and I won't get to teach him the wonderful things of the world!" Finn whined while Colin and Logan slapped him across the head.

The doorbell rang and Rory handed Brennen to Steph to get it. She answered the door and saw two uniformed officers at her doorstep. She immediately knew something was wrong from their solemn faces.

"Is this the DuGray residence?"

Rory could barley make out a yes.

"Are you Lorelai Dugray?"

"Yes, that's me."

'Mama I hate to tell you this, but you husband, tristan DuGray, was killed when Iragi forces set off a bomb in his bunker." By this time Rory had collapsed onto the floor and the two officers stood there uncomfortably.

"We can help make any arrangements needed, and we would like you to know that he didn't suffer and we will ship his things soon." The second officer informed her. Everyone had heard her sobs and had run to the door. They saw the military uniforms and knew it had something to do with Tristan. Logan immediately asked the officers what had happened. They informed him and saluted the group before leaving the doorstep with heavy shoulders. Everyone had shock written all over their faces. After a moment Brennen started crying Rory was still sobbing so Steph took him to the nursery of their home while Logan Finn comforted Rory and Colin called Lorelai. Lorelai rushed over and consoled her daughter. Nobody spoke for hours until Rory shot out of bed and ran to the nursery and grabbed Brennen. She started crying while just holding him.

They all loved Rory and Tristan very much and helped support Rory as best they could after it happened. As Finn carried Rory to the car they had thoughts running through their heads…

'I wish my luv would start to cheer up a bit…wait no Tristan is gone she has a right to be sad, bad Finn!' He thought with a sad look on his face.

'Man, I wish there was something we could do, but she was just so in love. There won't be another guy out there to have Rory Gilmore's heart' Stephanie thought as she stared at Rory in Finn's arms.

'I hate that this happened we are all so miserable and we try to do stuff for Rory, but she just keeps tuning us out.' Colin thought as he watched Rory.

'Why did this have to happen to Rory? She was so innocent and sweet. She never deserved this. Now we have to watch her be miserable! I HATE this!!' Logan screamed to himself in his head.

They had reached the car and Finn turned to Colin and Steph, and told them to take Rory's car back to Star's Hollow.

"Finn, I need to go home." Rory complained not wanting to go to Star's Hollow.

"Luv, right now you should talk to your mother. You need her. Let her help. You need to let us help."

"Finn?"

"Yes doll?"

"I'm pregnant."

"My god! Your pregnant?"

"Yes. It's a girl she is due in August."

"Kitten, this is great. Right? We're happy?"

"Oh, Finn of course we're happy it's just I miss him so much, and not only am I the mother of an 11 month old, I'm pregnant and a single parent. I have so much stress on me right now, and I don't want anything to happen to the baby. My kids are the only thing I have left of him." She said as she started crying. Logan had joined Finn and Rory after talking with Colin and Steph just as she started crying. Logan pulled her into the back while Finn drove. They all met back in the Hollow. Rory was asleep so Logan carried her to her room while everyone else greeted Lorelai.

"Hey guys, how is she holding up?"

"Lorelai she told me some great news. After we found her at the cemetery!"

'Really?"

"Yes, she told me that she is pregnant with a little baby girl and she is due in August!"

"Wow! Is it Tristan's?" Steph asked stupidly. By this time Logan had rejoined the group and replied to Steph's question with …

"Duh Steph who else would she have slept with?"

"Right, sorry stupid question."

Lorelai had been silent up until now. Everyone stared at her until she muttered…

"They got their Lizze." She now had tears in her eyes and ran to Rory's room. She burst through the door awaking Rory and engulfed her in a hug.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Rory questioned.

"Rory you get to have your Lizze!"

"Oh mommy…"Rory muttered grabbing Lorelai.

Everyone else was confused by their outburst because they hadn't known about Tristan's name choices. They shot Rory confused glances and were happy when she finally said, "Tristan wanted to name our kids. So I let him. He chose Brennen Tucker hence Brennen's name for a boy and for a little girl he wanted Lorelai Elizabeth 'Lizze'. He wanted to protect her and not let her date until she was 40." She had tears in her eyes now, but these were not sad tears, these were the tears of happiness. These were tears that represented Rory and Tristan's undenying devotion to each other. For now Rory thought that everything would be alright…For now.

I'm not very happy with this chapter. I feel that I didn't get as much intensity as I did in the first chapter. Originally I had planned on making this a one-shot, but after my first reviews I got some ideas. I just don't know how to format them yet! So if you have any question or comments e-mail and review! Oh and this is only my second Fanfiction and I haven't finished my first yet so please give me advice!!!!!
