The next morning, Rory woke up with a contented sigh. Her morning peace was quickly shaken when her cell phone buzzed. Four missed calls, the screen read. She rolled and called her mom.

Lorelai picked up on the first ring, "Hello, Gilmore house of ill repute, mistress Lorelai speaking."

"Mom! What would happen if it was Kirk calling?"

"Then he would be one happy camper!"

"Eww! Hanging up now!"

"No! Sorry, I've only had two cups this morning."

"Right... Would you like to hear what I did this week?"

"Yes! Three days without a Rory fix has really sucked."

"Well, the first day I woke up to Logan putting a blindfold on me,"

Lorelai interrupted. "Oh, please stop! Mommy doesn't need to know what you two do behind closed doors!"

Rory sighed before continuing, "and then he took me to Finn's plane, where Collin, Finn and Steph were waiting."

"Is Finn the Australian? The one who has the hots for me?"

"Yes, and you don't have to worry about that anymore. He has Rosemary now. You remember her, the red head. You love her."

"Aww, I liked the attention..."

"Mom, stop interrupting."

"Fine," she relented before taking a noisy slurp of coffee.

Rory sighed. "Anyway, they let me eat all the junk food I wanted!"

"They do know how to treat a pregnant Gilmore girl, don't they?"

"Yes, except for the fact Logan will only let me have one cup of caffeinated coffee a day."

"Did Luke get to him?"

"That's what I said! Okay, I'm coming over. I miss you too much."

"I miss you too baby, but are you sure you want to drive all the way from New York just to see me?"

"You and Luke! I haven't told him yet."

Lorelai let out a nervous giggle. "About that..."

"Mom! Don't tell me you told him."

"See you in two hours!" Lorelai hung up.

Rory snapped her phone shut and walked into the kitchen to see Logan.

"I'm going to Stars Hollow today. I'll be home late," she said, melting into his arms.

He hugged her back before resting his chin on the top of her head. "Why don't I come with you?"

"Because you'd be bored, I'm just going to get coffee and eat way too much with my mom."

"Rory, do you not want me to come?"

"No! I just didn't think you wanted to."

He smiled and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Ace, I want to be around you, but if you don't want me to go, I have other things to do."

"Oh! Why don't you meet us at Luke's for dinner?"

He chuckled. "Sure, I'll see you around 7."

"I'm going to jump in the shower and then go."

"Is that an invitation, Ace?"

She smiled playfully and darted to the bathroom, followed closely by a laughing Logan.

Buy eleven o'clock, Rory arrived at her old house. She opened the door and took a deep breath. "Hello home, I've missed you." She smiled and made her way to her mom's room. "Mom? Are you here?" No answer came. "Okay, I'm going to Luke's because you are most likely there." She heard a scratching noise and then a whine. "Hi Paul Anka, I'll be back. Don't eat any lampshades. Mom was really mad the last time."

She closed the door and walked through town. She smiled when everyone waved as she walked by. Rory missed her home, not enough to move, but she did enjoy seeing what she thought of as her extended family.

She arrived at Luke's to see her mom desperately trying to focus on a game with April. "Yes! I win!" Lorelai stood up, arms raised as if she had just won an Olympic event.

"Mom?" Rory asked.

"Daughter!" She ran to hug Rory.

Luke wiped his hands on a towel and greeted Rory with a quick hug. April waved. "I believe congratulations are in order?" Luke asked, knowing the answer.

"We can go upstairs and talk, but I need coffee first."

Luke sighed and muttered something beneath his breath before handing her a mug. She took a sip, expecting to be once again amazed by his famous coffee, but she did not get what she was expecting. "Luke!" Rory screeched. "This is decaf!"

"I can't give you the normal stuff Rory." He crossed his arms over his chest.

Babette spoke up from the corner. "Why can't you Doll?"

Kirk stood and announced, "She must be ill."

Lorelai picked up a plate and let it fall to the floor noisily. "Oops! Sorry, why don't we just go upstairs okay?" Rory nodded before running upstairs, Luke followed her.

"Lorelai, what's wrong with Rory?"

"Nothing Patti, she just," she paused, wracking her brain for excuses. "has been on the road so she is jittery. I have to go... clean." She bounded up the stairs, leaving the denizens of the Hollow to wonder what was wrong with their princess.

She found Rory collapsed on the couch and Luke pacing. "They know. They have to know. It will only be so long before attack me with questions. Don't get me wrong, I want them to know, just not now. I wanted to make an announcement. I wanted to tell them myself." Lorelai jumped in while Rory caught her breath.

"They don't all know. They think you were jittery, that's all. Deep breaths please, stress isn't good for the baby." She sat down next to her daughter running a soothing hand through her hair. "Have you thought of a name yet?" The elder Gilmore girl mentally crossed her fingers in the hope that Rory would be easily distracted.

"I haven't even told you what I did after the plane, have I?" Lorelai smiled and shook her head. "Oh! He took me to Santorini! You know, where The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was filmed!"

"You did always like Lena,"

"That's right! We spent an entire day wandering around calling each other Lena and Kostos. Oh mom, it was the best vacation ever."

"Was that all you did?"

"No! But that night the sweetest thing happened: Collin proposed to Steph! It was so cute! Then the day after, I spent the afternoon with the girls at the spa but the best part was the night."

Luke made his presence known. "Okay, I'll let you two, um, talk." He awkwardly left.

Rory shrugged and continued. "He flew us to the Parthenon where they set up a giant maze! Complete with a Minotaur!"

Lorelai turned to face her. "Was David Bowie there?" she asked.

"Sadly no. We all dressed up as ancient Greek gods and goddesses."

They heard a noise from downstairs. One that sounded a bit like the uproar of a stadium.

Lorelai put her hand on Rory's knee. "I really want to hear this story, but I think it might be best to save Luke from whatever impending doom the town has threatened."

Rory jumped up and ran downstairs. She was met with quite a sight. When people say word gets around fast in Stars Hollow, they are not kidding. The Gilmore girls had been upstairs a total of five minutes and it seemed the word had already swept through the town. Luke's was more crowded than Rory had ever seen. Not even danish day was this bad. The diner had become the proverbial rumor mill.

"I heard she's deathly ill, cancer of some sort."

"She turned down coffee! Maybe she's stretched for cash!"

Rory looked back at her mother who was just as stunned as her daughter. Lorelai sympathetically smiled and shrugged. "Okay!" Luke waved his arms and yelled. "If you people want to gossip, get the hell out of my diner. In fact, you can all get the hell out of my diner!" He took the towel from his shoulder and snapped it in their general direction. They did as they were told.

Taylor looked from Luke to the girls. "We will have a town meeting tonight." Luke threw a plate that whizzed directly past his left ear. Taylor ran out.

"My knight in shining apron!" Lorelai swooned.

"Thank you Luke. Mom can we go home now?"

Lorelai looked outside. "It seems the mob has disassembled, let's make a run for it!" She grabbed Rory's hand after kissing Luke. The girls ran, well, jogged, home.

Rory plopped down on the couch and Lorelai grabbed a bag of chips. On her way to the couch, she turned on her voice mail.

"You have three new messages," the mechanical voice announced, the girls munched on the snack.

"Lorelai, I can't believe I'm still pregnant. It's been what, seventeen months? This needs to stop. Jackson won't let me near the knives again. I need my knives Lorelai! Call me please!" The machine beeped, signaling the end of Sookie's message.

Rory giggled nervously. "Will that be me in a couple months?" Lorelai laughed before they were interrupted by the second message.

"Hello, Lorelai Gilmore? This is Edward Cogswell calling to confirm our meeting next week. Please call my office."

Lorelai rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I hate him. Honestly he is a banker, must he sound so formal? I just want to order pink checks!"

The message machine beeped. "Hi Lore, just calling to check up on you. I know we aren't together anymore, but we should still be civil, for Rory's sake. Call me when you get this message. Oh, and Gigi says hello."

The girls were frozen to the couch when the mechanical voice rang out, "You have no more messages." It beeped and turned off.

Lorelai turned to her daughter. "Tell me you told him."

Rory's gaze landed on her minuscule baby bump. "I could, but I'd be lying."

Lorelai jumped up and stood in front of Rory. "You didn't tell your father?"

"I guess I just kind of... forgot?" She cupped her face in her hands. "How could I forget? How did this happen?"

The elder Gilmore started to pace. "Rory, you have to call him."

She let her hands drop before looking at her mother, putting on her best pleading face. "Mommy? Can you tell him for me?"

She stopped and whipped her head to look at Rory. "Oh no, you got yourself into this mess. I assumed you told him. You know, him being your dad and all!"

"You told Luke," Rory muttered under her breath.

Lorelai slumped down on the couch. "Sorry about that, it just kind of slipped out."

"Do tell me how that happened." She strummed her fingers on her leg to show her annoyance.

"Well, I went into the diner after drinking five cups of coffee, a normal Gilmore response to shocking news." Rory nodded. "And I started to cry so he took me upstairs and I told him."

Rory's face turned from challenging to sympathetic. "I made you cry?" She put an hand on her mother's arm.

"I just felt like I was a bad mother. I set a horrible example getting pregnant at sixteen and all."

"Mom, no, you are the best mom anyone could ever ask for! I made my own mistake, and I've come to terms with it. And I think she'll be a pretty cute mistake, don't you?"

Lorelai grinned and nodded. "I'm sorry I told Luke."

"It's okay. I'd rather you tell him than him hearing it as a rumor. But you won't be forgiven until you tell dad."

"Rory, you know I can't do that."

Her shoulders fell. "I know. I'll call him. Can you run to the diner and get us some food? We never did eat."

"Sure sweets, I'll get you an extra big cup of coffee too. Logan will never know." Lorelai kissed her forehead and left.

Rory sighed and let her head rest on the couch's back. Pregnancy was really taking a tole on her, she was considerably more tired than normal. She picked up her phone and called her dad.

"Hi Rory!"

"Hi Dad, you sound chipper."

"Yeah, Gigi is gone and I cleaned the whole house."

"And that makes you happy?"

"Wow, you're right. I sound like a housewife. Anyway, what's up kiddo?"

"Oh, I just called to see how you were, I haven't talked to you since graduation," Rory lied, hoping to stall for as long as possible.

"Gigi and I are doing great, thank you. How are you doing? Considering.."

"Logan and I got back together actually." "Deep breath Rory, break it to him lightly."

"That's great!"

"Yeah, it really is. I'm really happy." Christopher hummed appropriately and an uncomfortable silence settled on the conversation. "Dad, I actually called you for a reason. Are you sitting down?"

"Yes, why? Is this when you tell me you are pregnant or something?"

She chuckled nervously. "Well, yes."

"Oh, okay. Yeah, it's a good thing I'm sitting. What does your mom think of this?"

"She's fine with it. You know, very supportive."

"Yeah. So are you getting married?"

"Eventually, just not now, are you going to threaten to shoot Logan? Because I'd rather you didn't."

Chris laughed. "No, I like Logan, I think you'll be happy. So how far along are you?"

"Ten weeks."

"Wow, I'm going to be a grandpa. That's great! Gigi and I will come and visit you guys soon."

"Sounds great Dad! Bye."

"Good bye."

Lorelai opened the door and peered in to see her daughter ramming a pillow into her head. "Hey there, I take it the conversation with your dad didn't go well?"

Rory threw the pillow across the room. "It was just awkward. I'm mad for forgetting him."

"Blame it on the pregnancy brain, it's a great excuse."

She groaned. "There is a town meeting tonight, we have to go don't we."

"If you don't want everyone to be guessing why you turned down coffee for the rest of your life, yes."

"Fine, I'll go. But I'm making Logan break the news to them, I had to tell Dad."

Lorelai clapped a hand on her shoulder. "I like how you're thinking! Want some food and coffee?"

She nodded rigorously and the two munched on their fast food and curled up to watch a movie before Logan. Unbeknownst to him he would have a dinner and a show afterwards.
