Chapter 17: Christmas in NYC and Stars Hollow

After seeing Logan and Odette at the restaurant in Brussels thankfully they didn't run into them again. They boarded the plane and now are heading back to New York. 

The trip was great they had a good time. Tristan was the perfect gentleman. He was so sweet and caring. He is always making sure she is okay. 

They arrive back in New York. They grab a bite to eat at a deli on the way back to their loft apartment. Then head home. They showered as soon as they arrived and then lay down to get a couple of hours of sleep before they head to Stars Hollow. 

Tristan was laying there rubbing her arm as she laid her head on his chest, she fell asleep pretty quickly. The trip has exhausted her.

He finally dozed off and was woken up by the alarm beeping in his ear. He hit the snooze button. Finally, it goes off again. He gently rubs her arm to try and get her to wake up. He starts kissing her head.

"Good afternoon my beautiful fiancée, it is time to wake up so we can make it to your mom's for Christmas Eve baby."

"I would much rather just lay here cuddled up in your arms. Can we just stay like this forever?"

"We can but then Lorelai is going to dislike me because you miss Christmas with them. Look at it this way baby, we spend tonight in Stars Hollow and then we can return home tomorrow evening and we can spend the rest of my days off in bed until I have to return to school. I will even move the tv from your guest room in here."

"Really? You would do all that for me? Tristan, I love you and I am so happy we reconnected. I knew the moment I saw Logan that he was not the man for me you were. I can't believe how stupid I was. It has always been you, not Dean, not Jess, or Logan. I am so sorry I wasted so many years fighting it and being stupid."

"Hey baby, I told you it was probably for the best that we didn't date at Chilton because I would have been a jerk. I am glad we waited until we were both ready for love, marriage, and a family. I love you, I have always loved you and I will always love you."

She kissed him she had tears in her eye. I wish we could just get married and not even worry about a wedding. Tristan, you are my person and for that, I am so happy." 

Her phone rang and she looked at the caller ID. "Well hello to my sexy Aussie. How are you exotic one?"

"I am fantastic love. How are you doing darling? How was your vacation? You will never guess who I heard from."

"We are good back in New York but heading to Stars Hollow in a few minutes. My vacation was fantastic. Tristan proposed and I said yes. I am going to guess it was Logan. We ran into him in Bruges and in Brussels."

"Wow, love I am so happy for you both, and congratulations to both of you. He talked to us about the engagement. Yes, Logan called complaining about you being engaged and expecting. He kept asking what Tristan had that he didn't. Why didn't she choose me? Blah, blah, blah for hours. He was drunk and upset."

"I acted surprised and didn't let him in on the fact that we met you and Tristan. I told him I was sorry but asked him if you seemed happy. He said yes. I simply replied then leave her alone and let her be happy. You married Odette let her marry Tristan." 

"Thank you so much, Finn. You are a really great friend. All of you guys are great and have always been great to me. You will be at my wedding right?"

"Of course Love, we wouldn't miss your wedding. Maybe next week we can get together for dinner or something after New Year's."

"Sounds good Finn. Tell Robert and Colin I said hi and send them my love. Just let me know when you all want to get together and we will be there. Love you Finny, bye," and she hung up.
