Rory placed the neatly folded t-shirt into her overnight bag, the one she'd taken to the hospital with her. Maggie was now 2 days old and they were on their way back to Stars Hollow where they would be staying. Rory zipped the bag and sighed. Her life wasn't supposed to be the replica to her mothers. Well not exactly. She was 17, almost 18. Lorelai had been 16. She sat on the bed next to the bag. She supposed her ending up young and pregnant like her mother was a little cliché. She silently wondered if Maggie would end up young and pregnant as well. Stop! Rory scolded herself. Think Positive. Think of the memories you will have. "Think of Harvard and Yale, where you would have been going" Rory said dimly to herself. She sighed. Yes, she loved Maggie. No questions about it. But things weren't supposed to end up like this. She was supposed to go to Harvard. Or Yale. She was supposed to be married before she had kids. She sighed.

"Ror? You okay? We've been waiting out there for a pretty long time" Lorelai asked her daughter as she walked in holding her newborn granddaughter.

Rory smiled slightly. "Yeah I'm fine. Just….gathering my thoughts"

Lorelai sighed and sat down next to her daughter. Rory automatically took Maggie. "Honey, I know you're upset about all this. But I'm not mad at you. I mean I know I was, But I'm not anymore. and this little girl your holding, needs you to believe that everything's going to be ok. Because guess what kid, it is. It's all been done now. You can't go back in time and rearrange things so that your having kids at an older age. It doesn't work that way and you know it. and besides look at the little angel. Would you really want to give that up?"

Rory looked down at her daughter. God that sounded so weird. She sighed. No. She didn't want to give her up. she wanted to keep her all to herself. "No" She choked. Lorelai smiled and hugged her. Being careful of Maggie.

"Where's Tristan?"

"Bathroom"

Rory nodded. "Oh"

"But I do have a surprise for you. Come on" Lorelai stood up and ushered Rory out to the hallway.

Rory cradled Maggie as she stepped out. She smiled instantly once she saw who was there. She handed Maggie back to Lorelai.

"Dad!" She ran and hugged him

"Hey Kiddo"

"You came"

Chris nodded sadly. "I'm so sorry kid. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you. I was being hypocritical and dumb and I really hope you can forgive me"

Rory nodded. "It's okay, I understand"

"So is that my granddaughter?" Chris pointed to the content baby in Lorelai's arms. Lorelai nodded and gave the child to Chris.

"Dad, meet Maggie Lorelai Dugrey"

"She's beautiful Rory"

"Well she does take after her mother" They turned around to see Tristan walking up to them.

"Hey Tristan how are you?" Chris asked

"Tired. And excited to be out of this place" Tristan joked as he stood next to Rory. His arm around her waist.

Chris chuckled. "That's exactly how I felt when Rory was born. Congradulations by the way"

Tristan nodded. "You too grandpa"

"Oh god Lor, we're grandparents"

"Can she call me Auntie Lorelai?" Lorelai asked

"No" Rory said "Come on lets get out of here."

They walked out of the hospital and Rory and Tristan climbed into the back with the car seat while Lorelai drove. Christ promised to meet them in Stars Hollow.

Rory stared out the window. She couldn't believe Chris was there.

Flashback:

Rory sat on the couch. Lorelai beside her. It was a Saturday afternoon and they were waiting for Chris to arrive. Rory sat with her legs underneath her and her arms folded across her chest. She had been crying and the tear stains were noticeable. Lorelai sat on the edge. Her hand holding her head up. The doorbell rang and Lorelai yelled for the person to walk in.

"Hey Gilmore Girls!" Chris yelled walking in. Seeing Lorelai and Rory in the living room he walked in. Once he saw their expressions his smile faded.

"Lor? Rory? Guys what's going on?" He asked

"Dad? I have to tell you something" Rory said, the tears starting up again.

"Sweetie what is it? Come on you can tell me"

"I'm pregnant"

Chris's face went from worried to rage. "You're what?!"

"I'm Pregnant" Rory choked out quietly.

Chris jumped up. "Who's the father?"

"Tristan"

"I kill him"

Lorelai jumped up. "No Chris. Don't. He's doing great for Rory"

"Really? Then why isn't he here?"

"Because I told him it would be in his best interest if he didn't knowing that you would pounce him"

"Lorelai, do you not know what's going on? Rory's pregnant! She's pregnant!"

"Really? You could have fooled me!"

"Guys Stop!" Rory exclaimed jumping up. "Just Stop! It's not just Tristan's fault Dad! I did it too! I was there and I didn't stop him!"

"I can't….I can't speak to you" He said and left. Rory sat back down crying and Lorelai ran after him.

"Chris!" Lorelai yelled running out the door. "Chris Get back here!"

Chris turned around to face Lorelai. "She's pregnant Lorelai!"

"Will you stop?! Yes she's pregnant. We've already gotten that far! Yes, I get it. I didn't want this for her either but there's nothing we can do about it! It's already been done! She's pregnant and we can't change that! No matter what we do!"

"How are you being so calm about this? I don't get it! She wasn't supposed to end up like us!"

"What do you mean?"

"She was supposed to go to college and graduate and be the best she could!"

"So what are you saying we never got that chance?"

"Yes!"

"You need to leave"

"Lorelai I didn't mean it like that and you know it…"

"I know Chris. But you need to leave until you calm down and figure out how you feel about this"

Chris sighed and left. Not saying a word. Lorelai wiped her eyes and walked back in. Ready to face the challenges coming their way.

End of Flashback

Chris hadn't called since then. He hadn't tried to apologize to Rory or to Lorelai. Rory had called Tristan and he came running over.

"Hey Ror?"

Rory stepped out of her trance and turned to meet the eyes of her boyfriend. She smiled and looked around. "We're here"

"Yeah. You okay?"

She closed her eyes and nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine"

He smirked. "We'll talk later. But right now. We, as the parents, need to be there to witness our daughters' first time home"

They both glanced down to the sleeping baby in the car seat.

"She looks so much like you" He said. "We're going to have another Rory on our hands"

Rory smacked him playfully. "Oh yeah, like that's a bad thing."

"Hey! No violent behavior in front of the child"

"Whatever Dugrey"

"Which one you talking about there Mare? Now there's two Dugrey's!"

"Whatever Bible Boy" She said emphasizing bible boy.

She unstrapped the little girl and carefully tried to pick her up without waking her, which, of course, failed.

"Oh sweetie..Sssshh. It's okay!" She cradled Maggie and rocked her back in forth, trying to calm her.

"Nice job Mommy" Tristan laughed. Which made Maggie calm down a bit.

"Whoa Stop! Tristan!"

"What? What is it?" Maggie calmed down.

"Talk"

"What?"

"She likes your voice. Talk"

Tristan smiled as they got out of the car. "Come on Ladybug. Come to Daddy" He took her from Rory. Earning a glare from the love of his life.

Maggie quieted down and rested in her fathers arms.

"See? At least someone appreciates me!" Tristan joked to Rory as they stepped up on the porch.

"She has to appreciate you. You helped create her" She sighed as she looked at the front door. She turned back to Tristan and smiled. Leaning over him to talk to her daughter. "Are you ready Mags? Are you ready to see your new home?"

"Come on. Let's go" They stepped in. Lorelai had it decorated with a sign on the entry way. 'Welcome Home Baby!' It read. Rory laughed and stepped in. There was confetti everywhere.

"Mom?" Rory called. Lorelai jumped out of the kitchen and blew one of those instant confetti things that flung itsy bitsy baby bottles everywhere. "Nice Mom. Nice"

Lorelai shrugged. "I thought so too. Now If you'll come with me. We must show the newcomer her new home" She led them to Rory's room. They stepped in and found that it was no longer Rory's room, but, in fact, Maggie's Nursery. There was a beautiful white crib at the end of the bed. There was a rocking chair and on Rory's desk was a whole bunch of picture frames. Rory stepped closer and saw that there was one of Her, Tristan, one of them together, Lorelai, Chris, and Luke.

"Wow Mom. how'd you do this?"

"I didn't. Stars Hollow Did. While you were in the hospital. I gave Miss Patty the key and she and Babette and Lane and a few other people came in and worked on it.

The room was painted a light purple with light green polka dots on two of the walls. the blankets on the crib matched the walls and so did the comforter on the bed.

"Why is my bed still in here?"

"Well babies are known to cry in the middle of the night. So you can stay down here with her if you need to"

Rory smiled and hugged her mother. "Thank you so much!"

"No problem kiddo" Tristan walked over to the crib and set Maggie down. Rory walked over to join him.

"Alright Ladybug what do you think of your new home? Do you like it?" Tristan cooed.

"Oh she's a Gilmore. Of course she likes it"

They heard the door open and two voices.

"Lane!" Rory turned around and ran out.

"Rory!"

"Lane!" Rory beamed and hugged her best friend. "Hi!"

"Where is she?"

"She is in her new nursery! Thank you by the way!"

"Oh no problem, now lead the way to my new niece"

Rory laughed and led her to the nursery. "Here she is!"

"Well? What's her name! You had to surprise me now tell me!"

"Lane meet Maggie Lorelai Dugrey!"

"Oh Maggie! I like it!" Lane picked the little girl up. "Hello Maggie! It's your favorite Aunt Lane! Oh I'm going to spoil you so much!"

Tristan laughed. "Nice to see you too Lane"

"Oh hey Tristan"

Rory quietly shut the door. It'd been a hectic day for the youngster and she was out cold.

She tipped toed to the living room and sat down next to Tristan. Lorelai had gone to Luke's. Giving the new parents time to themselves.

"So What's up?"

Rory sighed. " I don't know. it's just, things weren't supposed to end up like this. and I know its time for me to get over it but I just cant help but think of Harvard and Yale and know that I won't be going there anymore"

Tristan wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay to feel like this Rory. I mean I feel it to. But that little girl needs us"

"You sound like my mother" Rory laughed

Tristan laughed. "Way to ruin a moment"

"I try" She sighed and laid her head down on his chest, relaxing into his embrace.

"Do you wish your parents had come?" She asked quietly.

He sighed. "Honestly? No. I'm glad they didn't. They would have ruined all of this. I mean I guess I wish they would stop being stubborn and at least call to ask if their granddaughter was okay but they still hate that this happened."

He felt her nod. "And Rory?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't ever be sorry for my parents not liking Maggie. Or the idea of her. It's not your fault. You didn't ruin my life. you completed it." He pulled back and lifter her chin so she was looking at him. She nodded. "I know"

He smiled and kissed her. "I love you"

"I love you too"
