Chapter one
Closing her briefcase after checking she had everything she need for the day Rory was ready to go. Suddenly Rory felt a gush of water, and looking down she could see her skirt were soaked. Then the pain came causing her to crumple down to her knees.
"Rory, are you? Rory!" said Lana as she came into see Rory in pain.
"Something is wrong," said Rory in pain.
"I'm gonna go get Ben," said Lana and she was off.
The few seconds that Lana was gone it felt like an eternity, and then Lana came back Ben who had been premed in college.
"We have to get her to a hospital," said Ben picking Rory, and carrying her out of the hotel room.
"What's wrong?" asked Lana.
"My best bet it she in labor," said Ben as they rushed out and hail a cab.
"Labor!" Screamed Rory as the pain ripped through her body.
"Yes," said Ben as a cab stopped, and the got in.
"Hospital on the double," said Lana as she shut the door.
"I can't be! I mean yes for a few months I didn't have a period, but I had a light one this month," said Rory as the pain went away for the moment.
"It normal to have light bleeding," said Ben as the cab weaved in and out of traffic.
Not ten minutes later the cab pulled in front of the St. Vincent's ER, and Ben got out of the cab on his side. Rushing into the ER Ben went strait in, and went strait to the desk.
"This is Lorelai Leigh Gilmore. She's in labor," shouted Ben at the nurse.
"Bed stat!" shouted the woman in scrubs, and second later Ben was putting her on the bed.
"Don't leave," said Rory curling up in the fetal position as the pain ripped through her body again.
"Come on," said the woman in scrubs as she pushed the bed into a small room.
"It hurts!" sobbed Rory.
"Miss you need to relax I need to see how far along you are," said the nurse.
Reluctantly Liz laid out, and look at the wall as the nursed checked.
"You are fully dilated. You are crowning," said the nurse.
"It's too soon," said Rory.
Logan, she hadn't told him yet.
"You need to push," said the nurse.
"No," said Rory, and then all of a sudden she was pushing.
It was like she had no choice in the matter.
After four hours later a small cry rang out, and then the nurse placed a baby on her chest.
"It's a girl," said the nurse.
"A girl," cried Rory as she gently kissed her daughter.
"We have to get you clean up, and check this little one out," said the nurse as she came and got the baby.
Nodding her head Rory watched as the nurse put a plastic bracelets on her daughter's foot and hand that said Baby Gilmore. The next couple of hours blurred together from the sponge bath and until she was place into a really room with a real door in a hospital gown. Baby Gilmore was next to her in a hospital regulation plastic crib box. Rory reached out and grabbed the phone placing in her lap. Picking up the receiver Rory heard the ring tone, and slowly Rory dialed the number she hadn't dialed in about twenty-four hours. Then came the rings as she waited, and she didn't know what she'd say. Then she heard the phone pick up.
"Hello?" came Lorelai's voice over the line.
"Mom," said Rory.
"Rory, you will never guess what Kirk is up to this week," said Lorelai.
"Mom," said Rory.
"Guess?" said Lorelai.
"Mom," said Rory.
"Guess," said Lorelai.
"Got himself hung up the flagpole," said Rory.
"Who told? Lane? Luke?" asked Lorelai.
"He does it every year, and no body knows how or why," said Rory.
"Right," said Lorelai.
"Mom," said Rory again.
"Yeah, hon," said Lorelai.
"A couple of hours ago I went into labor," said Rory.
"Labor?" asked Lorelai.
"I didn't know until my water broke," said Rory.
"Logan's? Of course it's his. It is Logan's right?" asked Lorelai.
"Mom!" said Rory in out rage.
"Right it is. I feel weird about calling the baby it," said Lorelai.
"The baby is a girl," said Rory.
"You're in New York city?" asked Lorelai recognizing the area code.
"Yeah," said Rory.
"I'll be there," said Lorelai and she hung up.
"Bye," said Rory as she hung up her phone.
Next a nurse came in with a bouquet of roses, and handed them to Rory. Taking the card Liz read the inscription: "Congrats on the baby! You are fired." With that Rory threw them at the door, and after a long time Rory settled into the bed finally falling fast asleep.
Chapter two
Waking up Rory saw a person she had never expected to see sitting at her bedside.
"Hey," said Luke.
"Hi," said Rory.
"I snuck you some coffee in," said Luke hold a cup from Gram's.
"You went all the way to Greenwich village for a cup of coffee." said Rory in surprise.
"Best coffee in the world at least that's what your mom said," said Luke.
"Thanks," Rory said sitting up, and Luke hand her the coffee.
"She's beautiful," said Luke as he looked over at the baby.
"Yeah, she is. Who could know that something so beautiful could come from something never meant to be," said Rory.
"Except for the blonde hair she looks like you," said Luke.
"You can hold her if you want," said Rory.
"I don't know if," said Luke.
Since she wasn't wired up or stuck with a IV Rory got out of her bed going strait to her daughter.
"She won't bite," said Rory as she picked her daughter up and place her in Luke's arms.
"I might break her," said Luke in protest.
"You won't break her," said Rory going and sitting on the bed. Looking at the man that had been the closest thing she had to father hold her daughter was amazing.
In his big hands she looked so small, and as he got use to hold her Rory saw him smile.
"Thanks," said Luke.
"Where's mom?" asked Rory.
"Hustling some food in from the dinner," said Luke and then Lorelai burst through the door closing it behind her.
"Real food," said Lorelai with her hands full of food.
Then hand Rory the big bag of food, and the smell was intoxicating. Reaching into the bag Rory pulled out a burger.
"A burger! I've been dreaming about these burgers for months," said Rory as she unwrapped it, and then took a big bit.
"Dreams do come true," said Lorelai as she went and picked up her granddaughter.
"It is so good compared to the salads I've had to eat for the last four months," said Rory.
"RuPaul wasn't that deprive of make-up!" said Lorelai.
"Funny, Mom," said Rory fake laughing.
"Well what am I suppose to say congrats Marcia Cross," Lorelai said.
"She had two and I have one," said Rory.
"Just wait it will feel like two especially on the road," said Lorelai and Rory's face dropped.
"I won't I've been let go," said Rory.
"They are stupid," said Lorelai as she pat her granddaughter's bottom.
"can I come home?" asked Rory.
"You can if you don't mind living in the same house as your stepfather," said Lorelai as she flashed her engagement ring, and gold wedding band.
"Old European Cut Square Diamond Engagement Ring, it's beautiful!" said Rory as she looked of the engagement ring.
"We eloped, and mom had a cow," said Lorelai.
"Tell me you got a picture," said Rory.
"No, but how I wish I had, but I'll have my camera when we all go to Friday night dinner," said Lorelai.
"You are still going to that," said Rory in disbelief.
"Of course it's the one thing Luke can't get out of. Mom has new meat, and you know how your grandmother is," said Lorelai.
"Can taste fresh blood from a mile away," said Rory.
"Exactly, and it is so funny. April and I die laughing every time," said Lorelai.
"April?" asked Rory.
"She was down for the summer, but then her grandmother got severely ill. For at least this school year she is staying with us," said Lorelai.
"Tell me you didn't leave her with. You didn't? You did," said Rory.
"Mom can't do that much damage," said Lorelai.
"Yeah right!," said Rory.
"Well what's done is done," said Lorelai.
"Dad, go get April now before any permanent damage is done. Now!," said Rory and Luke got up.
"That isn't necessary," said Lorelai grabbing him.
"Your mother with a child, and take in account your childhood in account," said Rory.
"Go get her. How could you let me leave her with that woman," said Lorelai pushing him out the door.
"I thought so," said Rory.
"She's been so good. Then you forget and a mistake," said Lorelai.
"A big one!" said Rory.
"Right! Have you?" asked Lorelai.
"No, I thought once I'm settle in at home," Rory said taking the box that was attached to the bed, and moving the bed into a sitting position.
"We do have what we need at home. We need a famous Rory list," said Lorelai as she handed her granddaughter back to Rory, and grabbed a pen and pad of paper out of her purse.
"A crib and clothes. Oh!" said Rory feeling something strange, and looking down Rory saw her daughter had made use of the large slit that went to about her belly button.
"See she is a Gilmore. We always know where the food is at," said Lorelai with pride.
"Right," said Rory.
"Does it hurt?" asked Lorelai.
"No, not really," said Rory.
"Wow, I bottle fed you. You like to bite," said Lorelai.
"I didn't," said Rory.
"You clamped down that first time, and I told the doctor I was doing bottle feeding," said Lorelai.
Chapter three
"You know you need to name this one," said Lorelai as she watched her granddaughter sleep a hour after eating.
"I was thinking of that and I'm naming her Lorelai Victoria Leigh Gilmore," said Rory and the baby opened her eyes and then closed them.
"She knows her name smart kid, and you got both names in there," said Lorelai.
"Of course cause I wanted to continue the tradition. We'll call her Victoria not Vicky," said Rory as April and Luke came in.
"Hi," said April.
"Come on I won't bite," said Rory motioning for her to come near.
"Okay," said April coming to Rory's side.
"See I don't bite," said Rory.
"Only on the full moon," said Lorelai.
"Mother," said Rory.
"You didn't," said Lorelai.
"I did," said Rory.
"That is s mean," said Lorelai sticking out her tongue.
"Grow up and here," said Rory sticking out her tongue too.
"You first you have the kid," said Lorelai.
"You first you have a daughter, a stepdaughter, and granddaughter," said Rory.
"Huh," said Lorelai.
"I win!" said Rory before sinking into her bed.
"What?" asked Lorelai as Luke gave her a look she knew all to well.
"You know," said Luke.
"What?" said Lorelai innocently.
"Starting a tongue fight with your daughter," said Luke and then he turn to Rory.
"You can't get on to me I just had a baby that I didn't know I was carrying," argued Rory think she had the prefect defense.
"You right you just had a baby," said Luke as Rory notice the Grandpa sticker on his shirt.
"Ha!" interjected Rory.
"Not so fast you are a Yale Grad, and should know better," said Luke.
"But! But," said Rory.
"No, buts!" said Luke.
"See how he acts and he's been being a father to me for over sixteen years," said Rory towards April.
"Don't I know it. We had a movie night, and almost passed out when he saw how much I ate," said April.
"He should be use to it, but he would be our dad or Luke if he didn't say anything," said Rory.
"Have you call the other you know who?" asked Lorelai.
"No, and after how absent he was I don't want him here," said Rory.
"Rory, you don't have for me," said Luke.
"It isn't, and he has been absent most of my life," said Rory.
"Can we camp out in Rory's room?" asked April changing the subject.
"Yeah!" said Lorelai.
"Oh no," said Luke as he pulled his hand over his face.
"Out voted four to one," said Rory chiming in.
"I'll be back," said Luke as he left.
Luke made his way down to the cafeteria, and got himself a big cup of coffee. Finding a seat at a table his cell phone started to ring. Taking it out of his shirt pocket he saw it was Sookie, so he flipped his cell phone open.
"Hello," said Luke.
"Hey what going on?" said Sookie in worry mode.
"Everything is fine," said Luke.
"There is a but. What is the but?" asked Sookie as Luke drank his coffee when she talked.
"Rory had a baby," said Luke.
"She wasn't showing when she left, and why didn't she tell Lorelai." said Sookie.
"She didn't know until her water broke," said Luke.
"Oh man! What a way to find out. It's Logan's isn't it? It is what am I saying of course it is. It is Logan isn't it I mean," said Sookie rambled on.
"Sookie, it is Logan's" said Luke.
"He know doesn't he? Of course he knows. He knows right?" asked Sookie. "Not yet," said Luke. "Why?" asked Sookie.
"Cause she want to get settled at home first," said Luke.
"At home?" questioned Sookie.
"Lorelai will explain later," said Luke.
"Explain now or I will be on my way down, and you will have a very cranky, and very sleep-deprived lady on your hand," said Sookie.
"Her boss fired her," said Luke.
"Rory! They can't do that!" said Sookie.
"They can and they have," said Luke.
"She must be devastated," said Sookie.
"I think she angry, and hurt, but she'll be fine," said Luke.
"What aren't you telling me," said Sookie.
"She called me dad," said Luke.
"You have always been there I mean for everything," said Sookie.
"I know," said Luke.
"The town we forgot about the town," said Sookie panicked.
"It'll be a circus," said Luke as the pictures ran through his head.
"I can take care of this. It'll be settle before you come home," said Sookie sound like she was on a mission.
"Okay," said Luke.
"Quickly before I go tell me the baby facts," said Sookie as he finished his coffee off.
"Lorelai Victoria Leigh Gilmore, seven pounds, and twenty-two inches long I'm guessing," said Luke get up and head back.
"See you soon," said Sookie and they both hung up.
Chapter four
As Luke neared the Nurses' Station and saw the man he never want to see again.
"Christopher," said Luke loud enough to alert the man name that felt like dirt in his mouth.
"Luke," said Chris.
"What are you doing here?" asked Luke.
"I heard that Rory was in the hospital on the news this morning," said Chris.
"She's fine," said Luke not wanting to give anything.
"Where is she I want to see her," said Chris.
"She doesn't want to see you," said Luke.
"You can't stop me from. What is that?" asked Chris pointing to the sticker that said Congrats Grandpa.
"I have a granddaughter. My wife and I are sharing a moment with our daughter," said Luke.
The next thing Luke knew he felt Chris's fist connect with his jaw.
"You pig, where is my kid!" said Chris.
"Like I said she doesn't want to see you. Leave before I call the cops," said Luke as he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"You haven't heard the last of me. I will see my daughter, and my granddaughter," said Chris.
"There is a whole town that will make sure you don't. Now leave," said Luke.
"Fine for now!" said Chris as he stomped off.
"Hey, I heard shouting," said Lorelai coming up behind him.
"Christopher just left," said Luke.
"What happened?" said Lorelai.
"He wanted to see her, but I told him no," said Luke turn to face her.
"Luke!" said Lorelai seeing the cut on Luke's mouth.
"I'm fine," said Luke wrapping his arms around her waist.
"How did he know where she was?" asked Lorelai.
"Our daughter made the news it seems," said Luke.
"I wish we could just go home," said Lorelai laying her head on his chest.
"I know and we will be soon. I want to check with the doctor, but why don't you go on back," said Luke as he kiss her on the head.
"Alright," said Lorelai as she head back, and Luke turned to the nurses' station.
"Hi I'm Luke Danes. I was wondering if I could see my daughter Lorelai Leigh Gilmore's doctor. I was wanting to know how my daughter and her daughter are doing?" asked Luke.
"Sara is on rounds, but let me take a look," said the nurse.
"Okay," said Luke as the nurse opened a cabinet. After a few minutes of poking around the nurse pulled a file from the cabinet.
"Here we are. From what it says here they are both perfect. Baby Gilmore was a good seven pounds, and twenty-two inches long. Ms. Gilmore has been given a clean bill of health, and is set to be release tomorrow morning," said the nurse.
"That soon?" asked Luke.
"Midwife birth," said the nurse.
"Thanks," said Luke and he head back to Rory's room.
Reaching Rory's room Luke opened the door he saw his daughter hold her daughter, and he stood there looking at them. Lorelai was standing over them and all they looked so peaceful.
"Hey you are you in there?" asked Lorelai.
"Huh? I must have spaced-out," said Luke as he closed the door behind him, and then it hit him all at once.
" What?" asked Rory.
"You are getting out tomorrow," said Luke going wide eyed.
"Sure?" asked Rory.
"Yes, so I'll have to go," said Luke.
"Oh," said Rory disappointedly.
"I'll be back in the morning, but I have a lot to get ready," said Luke as he came kissed Rory and Victoria on the forehead.
"Okay," said Rory.
"I call later, and you have April and your mom," said Luke.
"Right I see you tomorrow," said Rory smiling for him.
"See ya," said Luke and he left.
"Let me see that grandbaby of mine," said Lorelai picking up Victoria.
"You get up here, and let's talk," said Rory as she scoot over and patted next to her.
"Okay," said April as she went, and sat next to Rory on the bed.
"How was New Mexico?" asked Rory.
"Hot and Dry," said April.
"I hear you as smart as me," said Rory.
"I been excepted in to Chilton. Between My mom, and Dad they scratched up enough for tuition," said April.
"That is a tough school, but worth it," said Rory.
"Emily has been keeping tabs on me. She knows the new headmaster's wife. It's scary how she knows stuff before me," said April.
"I know, so she having you call her Emily," asked Rory.
"No, I have to call her Grandma when I'm around her. She has called me Rory a dozen times," said April.
"I see! She thinks she had another one of me on her hands, and I wasn't wouldn't be there to warn you. She is a crafty person. She's my grandmother too, but I've seen her at work. You thinks she's mellowed over the years, but no she just got better at working people. We love her, but you watch out." said Rory as she turn on the CNN.
