TITLE: Comings and Goings

SUMMERY: Third in the 'We're All Good' series. "He made me this promise…" she sniffed. LAST ONE OF THE SERIES!!!

DISCLAIMER: You know that river in Egypt? Not only is it a river, it's also a state of mind. I'm writing, so therefore I own. That's how it works, right? (Seriously, I own six seasons… on DVD!!)

A/N: This is the last one. Then it's on to new things… possibly JavaJunkie related, possibly not. You'll just have to stick with me and find out!

Chapter 1

xxxxxxxxx

Lorelai felt fat. She felt huge. She now knew how Sookie had felt before she had Davey. It wasn't that Lorelai hadn't known then, she just didn't remember clearly. Now she did. She hated fat. She loved eating it in her burgers and whatever, but when she felt it, she hated it.

And that's how she felt. Fat.

She was sick of sitting on her couch watching movies, all day every day. Not even Molly Ringwood could make her feel better. Besides, she'd watched Pretty In Pink so often since she'd been told 'no working!' and 'bed rest!' that the DVD didn't play properly anymore.

And Luke refused to hire it for her, saying she should watch something different, that didn't have her quoting lines until she was in bed asleep.

But, even in her sleep, he sometimes heard it.

Pouting and huffing in frustration, she slowly pushed herself up off the couch and waddled down the hall to the kitchen. She pulled the fridge open and huffed again. There wasn't anything she would ever remotely want in there. It was all healthy. That apple-craving thing went away with her morning sickness when she moved into her second trimester.

She wanted food that would make Luke's face scrunch up in disgust and bring out an 'it'll kill you one day' rant. She wanted coffee. She wanted pizza. She really wanted to have these kids outta her right now!

And, to top off everything, not a single snowflake had fallen.

"Just two more weeks of this, Paul Anka, and it'll be sleepless nights and endless diaper changes," she muttered to her beloved dog as she waddled back to the couch with a bottle of water.

She had just cracked the top when she felt it. That unmistakable cramp in her side that could only mean one thing.

It was time.

"Luke!" she shouted, pushing herself up off the couch again. "Luke!" she called again. "I swear to God…" she started, when she heard his heavy footsteps walking along the hall above her.

"What are you doing off the couch?" he asked, halfway down the stairs.

She looked up at him, her face contorted in pain. "Honey, its time." she whispered, holding her side.

Luke's eyes widened. "Okay. I'll be right back." he said, and turned and dashed back up the stairs. He grabbed her hospital bag off the dresser and rushed into the nursery where he and April had been adding the finishing touches to the cribs.

"Lorelai's gone into labour. Will you be right here on your own, or do you want to come with?" he asked, out of breath.

April grinned. "I wanna come with. Go get her in the car and I'll be down in a sec." she said, dropping the paintbrush in the water and putting the top back on the little can.

Luke nodded and hurried back down the stairs, taking them two at a time. He found Lorelai halfway down the front stairs, hand gripping the rail. "Here." he murmured, wrapping a strong arm around her waist and tugging gently so she leaned into him. Together they made it down the stairs in one piece.

He had just got her to the car when April came flying out. "I've got Rory on the phone. She wants to know which hospital you'll be at."

"Hartford Memorial. What about her work?"

April nodded. "She's got a couple of days off. They're going to Hartford Mem. Uh-huh. See you there." April flipped her phone shut and looked at her dad and stepmother. "She's gonna get the next flight out and meet us there later. Anyone else you want me to call?" she asked as she slid into the middle of Luke's front bench seat.

Lorelai looked at Luke. "My parents."

April nodded and found their number in Lorelai's cell, before typing the digits into her own.

Barely a minute later, were they on their way to the hospital.

And we're off... lol. Please review?
