Lorelai grabs Alexis a bottle and feeds her then burps her and Logan just watches Lorelai

"Look Logan I need you to look after Alexis for awhile." Lorelai says about to continue when Logan speaks

"Why?" Logan asks "Where's Rory, Lorelai?"

"At the hotel we stayed at last night" Lorelai says "The thing of it is, Rory has been struggling, shes not been coping at all, she's hardly been sleeping."

"Is there anything I can do to help Lorelai?" Logan asks conncerned about Rory

"No Logan, me and Luke have done as much as we can to help Rory, but she has Postpartum Depression and needs professional help that we can't give her. All we need you to do is look after Alexis for a while because I need to be there for Rory." Lorelai says

"How long for?" Logan asks

"We don't know yet. I will let you know how it's going" Lorelai says

"Sure, Lorelai can I hold her?" Logan asks

"Of course" Lorelai says gently handing Alexis to him "Rory says that she look more like you than she does herself"

"Why didn't Rory tell me?" Logan asks looking down at his daughter

"I don't know Logan" Lorelai says then decides to take a photo on her camera of Logan and Alexis after telling Logan

"Can you send me a copy?" Logan asks

"Of course" Lorelai says "I'll just get her things out of the car."
