AN: This is the sequel to what should have been. I read all the reviews and understand the last few chapters where rushed and I apologize for them. I'm hoping that this sequel makes up for it. I don't own Gilmore Girls, but i think that if they ever do that 2 hour movie that Tristan should be in it :)

Ch 1 The return of the past

"So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow" he says breaking me out of the blank stare of doing into the street.

"I just need some time Logan" I say turning to him and he nods.

"You wouldn't be the woman I love if you didn't, go home construct one of those famous Gilmore pro/con list, talk it over with Lorelai ,then need alone time to process it all. I'll see you at graduation I promise you" he says caressing my cheek.

"You know me so well" I say smiling and hugging him.

"You're always the rational one Ace, just know that I love you; I meant every word, you're it for me" he says kissing me softly and backing away. I watch him walk away and it hurts. What is stopping me from marrying me? Why did I feel like something was constricting my heart when he asked? Wiping away the remaining tears, I walk inside to see that majority of the guest left and I just want to leave.

"Did Logan leave dear" grandma questions and I nod heading to the coat room to get my purse.

"Rory, we need to talk" grandpa says.

"Can it wait, I can't talk more unsuspected news right now" I say almost begging him.

"No, it can't. You can't marry Logan even if you do love him" he says and I look shock at him.

"It's my decision who I marry and I decide, besides you like Logan" I state.

"We do like Logan, this has nothing to do with than dear" grandma says.

"Your grandmother is right but you can't marry the boy" grandpa adds.

"Enough, this is hard enough as it is trying to decide, I don't need your help" I state crying slightly again.

"You can't marry Logan dear because you are already arranged to marry someone else" grandma says.

"Yeah and who is that the imaginary boyfriend that I don't know about? I laugh; I think they have officially lost their minds.

"No me" I hear from behind me and freeze. I know that voice. It can't be can it? I turn slowly around to see the one person I thought I left in the past.

"Tristan" I say softly dropping Logan's ring box unconsciously to the floor as he approaches.

"They are ready for us" he says addressing my grandparents.

"Come along Rory" grandma say and I'm frozen in my spot.

"Why don't you give us a few minutes" he laughs a little.

"Of course my boy" Richard says and I watch them walk to the back room.

"Well, I never thought I would see the day that a Gilmore is actually speechless" he smirks and I stare at him. Without saying a word, I bend down to pick up the ring box and storming off to find my grandparents.

"What is this? An impromptu reunion I wasn't aware of" I state walking in seeing the Dugrays there and Francine Hayden. "What this all this" I demand looking at grandpa.

"The meeting for the impending nuptials dear, I'm so happy that you're finally be a Dugray after all this time" Rachel says and I'm shocked.

"I'm not marrying him, I refuse" I demand still standing.

"Actually you have no choice" I hear Derek Dugray say and whip my head to the right to see him sitting next to Janlan and he slides a binding brief at me. Surveying the rest of the room, I find my grandparents, Francine Hayden and my parents.

"I stepped into bloody hell didn't I" I whisper to no one but hear Tristan laugh as he comes in the room.

"I guess that makes two of us Mare" he smirks and I look at him with disbelief. He just smirks and walks around the table to sit down.

"What the hell are you doing here anyways, don't you have graduation tomorrow or let me guess daddy couldn't pay Princeton enough for them to issue you a diploma" I smirk from the door.

"Lorelai, please come inside and let's talk this out" Pop says and I look at the man that was like a grandfather to him during Chilton.

"No disrespect Janlan but there is nothing to discuss. Strobe made it a point to void the contract between the Haydens and Dugrays before he passed away" I state.

"Actually, your grandfather had his heart attack before he could finish it my dear" Francine says and I look at my Dad.

"Dad, do something you're the head of the Hayden family now, don't make me do this" I beg him coming closer to the table.

"Rory" he says and I shake no.

"No" I demand.

"Rory" grandma says.

"No, you can't do this to me, I refuse. I will not marry this jerk" I say just as strong.

"Lorelai Leigh sit down" grandpa states and I have only heard that tone once and that was with Mitchum. Closing my eyes to hold the tears in I sit down and glance at Mom. She looks awfully guilty.

"At least you can take orders now; this might be easier than I thought.

"Ass" I state and he laughs. Fingering the ring box gently as it sits on my lap, I know that I will never get out of this room and be able to say yes to Logan. My heart fells like its breaking.

"So we are thinking about placing the announcement in Sunday's paper" Derek states and I look up.

"Absolutely not, I won't marry Tristan" I state.

"Lorelai, you have no choice; without this union, all the families will lose almost everything. I know you don't want that to happen" Pop says and stare at Tristan.

"What, what are you talking about. You all have enough money. Is this about greed and society status because I don't care about either one" I say and Tristan looks just as shocked.

"We have used too many resources over the last few years to not only keep your identity quiet Rory, but to cover the cost of the delinquent behaviors of the two of you" Derek states and I can't believe what I'm hearing. Can they really make me go through with the contract after everything that happened senior year? I can barely look at Tristan. It's the reason why we have had no contact the last 4 years.

"Rory, we all need this to happen, you're mother's inn is also added into this. I know you don't want that to happen" grandpa says and I feel my resolve drop. I can't let that happen.

"I can't believe that after everything that happened senior years, that you all still want this to play out. I can't even think about him without seeing all the pain he caused. I hate him and want to marry something that I actually love" I state standing up.

"Someone who you love but family hates you kid" Mom adds.

"That's not the point. I love him and don't care what they think" I answer her.

"For now" she mumbles but I heard her. She always hated Logan.

"You want me to marry the reason why my daughter isn't here. That's beyond comprehendible, what are you trying to do, destroy the life that I have built up finally" I demand to know from them.

"Still playing that card, are we" Tristan laughs leaning back in his chair.

"Excuse me" I sneer.

"Blaming me, making me feel like I was at fault" he states standing up.

"It was your fault. Everything was. If you could just been honest with me and not man whore we weren't be in this mess" I yell.

"Keep telling yourself that sweetheart, when I'm making you scream my name again; it looks like you need it" he states and the room goes into an uproar at his behavior. He hasn't changed. This is the old Tristan at his best. Thinking he's god's gift to women.

"Do you see this? He's still the immature ass he always was. I can't even look at him without feeling repulsed at the sight of him. You all want me to spend my life with someone like this. I can't believe you" I yell over everyone.

"I'm glad I repulse you that much Mare" he smirks.

"Go to hell Tristan" I yell storming out.

"Already there darling" he yells as I leave.

So what do you think? Let me know!! All reviews welcome!
