Lorelai was lying on the couch, resting when the phone rang.

"Ugh!" she groaned and just let the machine get it.

"Hi, this is Lorelai don't leave a message unless you have a good reason to!"

"Lorelai what are you doing? That isn't what we decided what we would say!"

"But, Luke, what we decided is boring!"

"Lorelai, you are changing it."

"No! I'm not changing it!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I am not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I am not!"

"Lorelai! Look you are recording this whole thing!"

"Oh, woops! Ahhh… leave a message!"

Lorelai laughed at the memory of that day. They had fought the rest of the day about the message, but in the end, Lorelai convinced him to keep it.

"Mom?" a voice came from the machine, "I know you are there. It's Rory if you haven't figured it out already!"

"Rory!" Lorelai said jumping off of the couch and grabbing the phone, "Rory! Are you still there?"

"Yes Mom, I am still here. Gosh! Why don't you ever answer?" she asked.

"Because, I know you haven't seen me in a while, but I am starting to get fat and my feet are starting to hurt and I am always tired and-" Lorelai started ranting.

"Mom!" Rory said interrupting Lorelai, "Ok, ok you have a reason, but you might as well get used to it, you are going to feeling like that and maybe even worse for the next four and a half months!"

"Well, thanks, you are really making me feel better." Lorelai said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry; I just want to talk to you. I missed you." She said.

"Oh, sweaty, I missed you, too." Lorelai said.

"So, I was wondering… I have this weekend and Monday off, so…" Rory said.

"So, do you want to come and visit us for the weekend?" Lorelai asked smiling.

"Is that ok with you? I mean, I miss you and Luke and Jenny so much! I haven't seen you guys in like a month!" Rory said.

"Rory, it is fine. We all miss you, too and we don't have anything going on this weekend. We can spend some time together as a family." Lorelai said smiling to herself again at the idea.

"Ok, then it is a plan. Oh I can't wait! I want to see how much my little brother or sister has grown!" Rory said.

"Your little sister." Lorelai said hitting herself on the head for forgetting to tell Rory.

"What?" Rory asked confused.

"I'm having another little baby girl, Rory." Lorelai squealed into the phone.

"Oh! Yay! This is so exciting! I get another little sister!" Rory squealed back.

"Yeah" Lorelai sighed as the front door opened.

"Lorelai! We're home!" Luke called.

"Oh! Luke and Jenny are home." Lorelai said into the phone.

"Its ok mom, I've got to go anyways. I will see you Saturday!"

"Ok, see you Saturday! I love you." Lorelai said as Jenny sat down on the couch next to her.

"I love you, too! Bye!" Rory said.

"Bye!" Lorelai said before hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Jenny asked kissing her mom on the cheek.

"That was Rory; she is coming to see us this weekend!" Lorelai said.

"Yay! Daddy did you hear that?" Jenny asked.

"Hear what?" Luke asked walking into the room and giving Lorelai a kiss before sitting on the chair.

"Rory's coming to visit this weekend!" Jenny exclaimed.

"Great!" Luke said smiling.

Lorelai sighed and leaned back on the couch.

"Are you ok?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, I'm just really tired." She said closing her eyes.

"Ok, Jenny how about we let Mommy rest for a while." Luke said standing up, "You want to help me make dinner?"

"Yeah!" Jenny said running off into the kitchen.

Luke just followed her shaking his head.

"So, what do you want?" he asked Jenny in the kitchen.

"I don't know; what do you want?" she asked, looking in the fridge.

"I don't know that is why I asked you." He said.

"Why don't you ask Mommy what she wants?" Jenny suggested.

"Ok." Luke said walking out of the kitchen, "Lorelai, what…" He trailed off when he saw Lorelai lying down on the couch, fast asleep.

Luke smiled and took the blanket off the back of the couch, covering her with it.

"Good night, Lorelai." Luke said kissing her on the cheek and walking out of the room.

I did it! I got another chapter in before I left! If you can't tell already, they don't go to Friday night dinners any more. Instead they talk on the phone at least once a week and on all the holidays or just special occasions they go for dinner. The next chapter should be up on Monday, the 11th. Hope you liked this one! Tell me what you think!
