They left the hospital around half an hour later after they were finished running various tests. Lily had fallen asleep when the exciting part was over and Luke was carrying her over to the car. When they reached it, Lorelai opened the back door and Luke put Lily in the car seat carefully, trying not to wake her. He climbed into the driver's seat and looked over at Lorelai who was staring at the sonogram picture.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Nothing, I was just wondering what our little boys gonna look like," she replied and a smile crept across her face. "I can just imagine a mini you running around causing mayhem." Luke grinned at the thought.
"I can't wait to meet him," he said, "Do you think the town's gonna find out soon?"
"To be honest, I don't care. Let them find out in their own way. I sure loudmouth Lily back there won't be able to hold it in for long." She laughed and Luke agreed whilst starting the car, ready to head back to Stars Hollow.
Thirty minutes later they pulled up outside the diner.
"I'm gonna head back to work," said Luke, "Will you be able to manage with Lily?"
"Oh I think I'm gonna hang around here with you for a while, I'm starving."
"Ok but what about Lily?"
"I'll watch her from the counter, she'll be fine." They both got out of the car and Luke locked it then followed Lorelai into the diner. Babette and Miss Patty were sat at a table by the window and looked around when they heard the two walk in.
"Have you noticed something different about Lorelai lately?" asked Miss Patty quietly.
"Well I think she's grown in the chest department," answered Babette. "Maybe she had a boob job!" Miss Patty laughed.
"She did not have a boob job, that's ridiculous! I meant a change in her behaviour."
"Oh yeah I ran into her in Doose's the other day and she had like three packs of de-caf coffee. Very strange."
Well the other day I walked by the park and I saw Lorelai with Lily. Lily had an ice cream and Lorelai was eating an apple."
"What. No way, that is beyond strange." They watched her as she took her coat off and unfortunately for Lorelai, she had chosen to wear quite a tight top today. The two women gasped at the same time.
"Do you see what I see?"
"I sure do!" They jumped up and walked over to Lorelai with huge smiles on their faces. They stopped next to her, still with the big smiles. Lorelai looked to her right and gave them an awkward smile.
"Hey guys. Did you erm.....want something?" said Lorelai, a little freaked out.
"Oh congratulations sugar!" shouted Babette, giving Lorelai a hug.
"Congratulations....for what exactly?"
"The bun in your oven of course," said Miss Patty.
"Lorelai are you making buns? I like buns," interrupted Kirk.
"Shoo, Kirk," shouted Miss Patty whilst ushering him away. They turned their attention back to Lorelai.
"What makes you think I have a bun in the oven?"
"Well sweetie, it's obvious. I mean you drink de-caf and eat apples. And that's quite a small shirt you have on there. You know, it doesn't leave much to the imagination." said Miss Patty.
"So how far along are you sugar?"
"Four Months"
"Oh not long to go! So do you know the sex?"
"Yeah we actually just came back from the hospital."
"And...."
"Were having a mini Luke."
"Oh that's wonderful. We're so happy for you both."
"Thanks guys."
"I bet Rory and Lily are excited."
"Yeah they are. Lily even gave him a name and she talks to him all the time. It's so cute."
"Aww bless her, she's an adorable little girl. Where is she by the way?"
"She's asleep in the car just outside. All the excitement wore her out."
"You might wanna check on her because Kirk's lurking." Lorelai got up and went outside.
"Kirk, what are you doing?" asked Lorelai as Kirk was peeking through the window at Lily.
"Oh hey Lorelai. I just wanted to ask Lily something."
"Well can you ask her another time because she's currently sleeping and I'd prefer it if you didn't wake her."
"Fine but it's very important."
"What could be so important that you need to ask a five year old?"
"Nothing, it's something I need to discuss with Lily." Lorelai shook her head and rolled her eyes as Kirk walked away from her.
"Hey little boy," said Lorelai to her stomach. "You wanna wish that you never have to meet Kirk. Just a warning, stay clear of him."
