The life I was destined for

Revealing the past

After all the revelations at the dinner they all headed back to the house, Finn and Rory decided to take a nap while Tristan and Josh went to Hartford. The others sat down and discussed what they had learned. Tristan was driving, and Josh was in the passenger seat.

Josh decides he needs to break the silence "How could she do that to Rory?" Josh says frustratedly.

"I knew of some things that were happening, but I didn't know about that. I wonder if Rory would let us look at the records and hire a PI to get Lorelei out of her life for good" Tristan says.

"Maybe get a restraining order?" Josh adds as a question. Tristan just nods his head as he parks the car and walks into the DuGrey manor.

"Dad? Dad? Where are you?"  Tristan yells.

"Son, what's the matter?" Marcus asks. He looks from josh to me and knew something had happened.

"What happened?" Marcus demanded.

"It's Rory "they both say.

"What about her?" Marcus asks with concern written all over his face.

We move towards his office and proceed to tell him what happened with Rory and Lorelei and what Rory had revealed to them. They confided in him their ideas to protect her and keep Lorelei away. Tristan has seen his dad mad many times over the years, hell he has pissed him off too many times to count but over the years he has never seen him this angry.

"We'll all talk to Rory and see what she says" Marcus says with such finality.

Marcus informs the rest of family of what has happened to Rory, they are not happy that Lorelei almost hit Rory again.

They all agree next time they get together they'll invite Luke, none of them ever realized until today that he's always protected and cared for Rory and would do anything for her.

The drive back to stars hollow for Tristan and Josh was quicker than usual. Once they got back to the house Tristan pulls Rory aside while josh tells the others what happened at DuGrey Manor.

"Ror, can we talk?" Tristan asks softly

"Of course, Tris" Rory says with a small smile on her lips. He puts his arm around her shoulder and she slips hers around his waist as he leads her to the couch not far from where everyone was sitting around the dining room table.

"What did you want to talk about?" Rory asks Tristan as he looks at her with all the care in the world.

"I was wondering if you would let us look at the records of everything that was used for the courts, social services, hospitals the pictures and anything else you have on what Lorelei did to you and hire a PI to get evidence to get a restraining order to keep her away and keep you safe" Tristan ranted in true Gilmore fashion that he learnt from Rory.

He watches Rory as she has internal battle with herself as she is thinking about it he grabs her hand in one and uses the other to lift her chin, so she can look at him.

" Can I please? Baby girl" Tristan asks softly. She looks at him and she can see his concern and the hurt he feels for what has happened to her. She just nods her head.

"You and Finn know about most of it but there are somethings you don't, not even my grandmas know just Strobe, Dad and Richard. Please don't be mad at me for keeping it from you. Most I remember but there are somethings I have no idea about and others had to fill me in" She says sadly.

"One summer I ended up in a coma. Paris and I were hanging out that's the last I remembered but Paris knows more about it than I do. No one brings it up to me and I don't bring it up either because of the flashbacks it brings on. " She says as her eyes fill with tears and they tumble down her checks.
