"Lily will you hurry up already! Were gonna be late," shouted Lorelai up the stairs.

"Late for what?" she shouted back.

"Come down here and I'll tell you."

"Ok I'm here, now tell me."

"Me and daddy have an appointment and I need to drop you off at Rory and Jess's house first, then go meet daddy at the diner, so get your skates on!"

"What kind of appointment?"

"An erm.....hospital appointment."

"Why, are you sick? Because you've been throwing up a lot lately."

"That's because of the baby sweetie. When you have a baby growing inside you, it makes you a bit nauseous that's all. And we're going to the hospital for a sonogram. Do you know what that is?" Lily shook her head. "Well they put some weird gel that's really cold on your tummy and put a scanner on it and it's attached to a screen and you get to see the baby."

"Really? I wanna come!"

"But don't you wanna spend the day with Jess?"

"Yeah but I wanna see Callum more."

"Well you'd better ring him and explain why you're not going then." Lily picked up the phone and gave it to Lorelai who dialled the number and handed it back. Lily explained to Jess exactly what Lorelai just told her, word for word, and eventually put the phone down.

"Come on mommy hurry up we're gonna be late," shouted Lily who was eagerly stood by the front door.

"I'm coming, don't worry." She appeared in the hallway and Lily opened the door and ran towards the car. Lorelai opened the back door for her and Lily climbed into her car seat. Lorelai had decided it was time to get a more suitable family car when she had Lily so she bought a Cherokee, not that she was happy about the decision because she loved her old jeep so much. She strapped Lily in and they headed to the diner to pick up Luke. Once all three were in the car, Lorelai drove to the hospital. Lily was rambling on about the baby saying that she thinks he will have blue eyes and brown hair like her and Luke was trying to tell her that she won't be able to see the hair and colour from the picture but there was no shutting her up. She was on a famous Gilmore rant.

She found a space in the car park and Lorelai and Luke walked in together, hand in hand, with Lily slightly ahead. They went to reception where a woman led them to a room. Lorelai got settled on the bed and Luke sat next to her with Lily on his lap.

"Where abouts do they put the gel?" she asked. Lorelai lifted her top slightly and traced a line along her stomach.

"Right about here sweetie."

"Look! Your tummy's growing into a weird shape." Lily pointed to the swelling on Lorelai's stomach and Lorelai put her hand over it.

"That shows the baby's growing princess," said Luke. A doctor came into the room and interrupted their moment.

"Hello Lorelai! I haven't seen you in here for a while," said the doctor. "Oh hi Luke. Nice to see you again."

"Hi I'm Lily," she said brightly.

"Oh is this that adorable little baby I delivered a few years back?"

"Yep that's her," replied Luke running his fingers through Lily's hair.

"Well hello Lily, I'm Doctor Wheeler. How old are you cutie?"

"Five years, seven weeks and two days old."

"Wow! That's very precise."

"What does precise mean?"

"Never mind honey. Shall we start the sonogram?" Lorelai and Luke nodded and Doctor Wheeler put the gel on Lorelai's stomach.

"Is it cold? Can I touch it?" asked Lily.

"No keep your hands away from it," said Luke. The Doctor put the scanner over the gel and moved it around a little. Nothing appeared on the screen and there were no sounds. She pushed some buttons on her keyboard and fiddled around with the scanner. Lorelai looked at Luke who returned her sad look. Just as Luke was about to ask what was wrong, they heard a loud repetitive thudding come from the machine and they smiled at each other in relief.

"What's that noise?" asked Lily.

"That's the baby's heart beating," answered Doctor Wheeler. They turned to look at the screen where they saw a black and white image of their baby. Lorelai's eyes filled up with tears and one fell down her cheek. Luke caught it and put his hand over hers.

"Lily look it's your baby brother or sister," said Lorelai. Lily looked at the screen.

"Where? I can't see him."

"Come over here and I'll show you." Lily crawled across the bed to Lorelai and Lorelai put her arm around her. "Right there." She pointed to the screen. "Do you see now?"

"You mean the thing that looks like a blob?"

"It's not a blob Lily," said Luke. "Look it has a baby shape." He traced his finger around the outline and Lily watched carefully.

"Oh yeah I see him now. Hi Callum!" she waved at the screen and smiled. Luke and Lorelai laughed at her.

"I know you didn't wanna know with your last pregnancy but would you like to know the sex of the baby this time?" interrupted Doctor Wheeler.

"What's the sex?" asked Lily.

"God Lily you ask so many questions," said Lorelai. "It's where you find out if the baby's a boy or a girl."

"Oh yes please doctor. I wanna know that!" shouted Lily.

"Erm yes we would like to know please," said Luke to confirm.

"Ok," said Doctor Wheeler. "You're having a baby boy, congratulations!" Lily shot up from the bed and jumped around the room wildly. Luke laughed and smiled widely at Lorelai.

"So you're getting the boy you wanted," she said to him smiling.

"Yep, now my future doesn't consist of Barbie dolls," he said cheekily. Lily ran over and climbed back onto the bed. She put her head near Lorelai's stomach.

"Hey Callum, I can't wait to meet you! Will you hurry up and come out already because I can't wait any longer." Lorelai and Luke were listening to her and smiled at each other. Lily put her head closer and went to kiss it."

"No sweetie don't......." said Lorelai, but it was too late.

"Eww I have that horrible gel on my lips!" She sat up straight and pulled a funny face. They laughed at her and the Doctor wiped the gel from Lorelai's stomach and from Lily's face.
