Dislcaimer: I own nothing but my laptop
Lorelai was sitting in the doctors office with her mother. They weren't exactly talking after she had blatantly refused to marry Christopher. Lorelai had told him when the appointment was, but he hadn't turned up. She didn't exactly expect him too, but it would have been nice if he did.
"Lorelai Gilmore." The doctor called as they went into her office.
Lorelai sat there while her mother asked the doctor questions and didn't get a word in edge wise. The doctor got her to lay on the bed and before long the room was filled with a heartbeat.
"Well, everything seems healthy." The doctor said now.
"Can we find out the gender?" Lorelai asked and Emily seemed interested to know as well.
"It is a little girl." The doctor said now.
Lorelai took a deep breath in awe. She had a baby girl growing inside her. She kind of wished that Christopher was there. They got home and Emily sent her off to do homework. Lorelai snuck the phone into her room and rang Christopher.
"A girl?" Christopher asked on the other end.
"Yeah," Lorelai paused. "She kind of looked like you. A tiny little peanut sized you."
"I am sure she did." Christopher said jokingly.
"You should have been there," Lorelai said now. "It was amazing to see her."
"I wanted to be there." Christopher said now, but Lorelai barely believed him.
She lay on her bed and realised that she would be doing this alone. Totally alone. It was scary, but a part of her knew that she would be able to do it.
Rory and Lorelai had said almost nothing to each other for a few weeks. They were both stubborn and that did not work well. She was now well into her second trimester and she was starting to feel pregnant, but still not showing as much. Rory had an ultrasound appointment and she had been trying to call Logan all week to let him know about the appointment but had only been treated to his voicemail. Rory was looking at her phone and was startled by Luke.
"Coffee please." Rory looked up from her screen.
"You really shouldn't be having coffee," Luke commented. "Do you really need to spread the coffee addiction to another generation?"
"Coffee please," Rory said now as he begrudgingly poured it for her. "I am just an enabler."
Rory looked at phone and noticed the time. She skulled the coffee and went out the door. She was sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office and tried to call Logan.
"Hello." He answered and Rory was almost shocked that she didn't get his voicemail.
"Hi," Rory said quietly. "I know I told you about the appointment today. I didn't know if you would be coming-"
"Turn around." He said and a smile grew on Rory's face.
"How is the wedding planning going?" Rory asked when they sat back down, as Logan went quiet. "It's not going."
"Well, I kind of told her everything and she left the apartment," Logan said now. "I haven't seen her in weeks. My parents aren't happy about it, but when are they happy about anything that I do? How did your mother and Emily take it?"
"Can we talk about anything else?" Rory asked as Logan just shook his head.
"They will come around," Logan said now. "Trust me."
Rory was happy to have Logan there with her. Not as anything other than a friend. They went into the room when Rory was called and before long they were faced with a tiny little baby on the screen.
"Everything looks good," The doctor commented. "Would you like to know the gender?"
"Okay." Rory said, almost childlike, as Logan just rolled his eyes.
"It is a boy." The woman said now as Rory's mind began to race.
Rory said two words for the rest of the appointment. Everything felt so much more real. She had a little boy growing inside of her. What she did know about boys? She only had Lorelai growing up. There was no way she could even think about doing this without Lorelai.
"Earth to Rory," Logan kind of waved his hand in front of her face. "You okay there?"
"How can I raise a boy? I have never even really lived with a boy." Rory said now, nervously.
"You'll learn," Logan said confidently. "Plus I know a little something about boys and I can always help you out."
The parents-to-be went out to lunch and had what was an enjoyable afternoon. Rory got home that evening and Lorelai was in the kitchen with Luke. She sat down and then handed her mother the photo of the ultrasound.
"This is it?" Lorelai asked, sitting opposite her. "It looks like a boy."
"It is a boy." Rory said.
"Wow," Luke looked at it now. "A boy."
"Can we have a moment?" Rory asked as Luke went into the next room. "I am sorry."
"No, I am sorry," Lorelai said now. "Grandma has this way of pulling out the worst in me and look at this. You are going to have a little boy. Sure, we know nothing about boys but it's not too late to learn. I cannot have what happened with Emily, happen to me. I want to be a part of his life. Did you go alone?"
"Logan was with me." Rory said now.
"Good for him," Lorelai said now. "He should be there."
"I was half expecting him not to turn up but he proved me wrong." Rory responded, almost beaming.
"Now, names," Lorelai said jokingly. "We could go with Lorelai Gilmore."
"Because that won't be confusing at all." Rory rolled her eyes.
Rory was happy to have put everything behind her. Even if she felt like she had no idea what she was doing, she had Lorelai.
A/N: So, Rory is having a boy! I was definitely thinking she was honour Richard in some way (maybe a middle name), but I am totally open to name ideas. In my mind Rory would probably want something literary (she loves those books), but feel feel to suggest away.
