Emily, and April follow Rory down the hallway. They come to the N.I.C.U. Rory stops to talk to the receptionist.
"Uh can I see my sister?" Rory asks.
"Who's your sister?"
"Baby girl Gilmore."
"They moved her."
"Moved her where?" Rory questions in alarm.
"We moved her to the nursery."
"Oh," Rory sighs in relief.
"It's down the hall to the left," the nurse adds.
"Thanks," Rory says as she continues down the hall with April and Emily close behind her.
Rory stops at the window and looks in. She scans the room, and finally finds Lola. She points and the nurse rolls the baby to the window. After wheeling the baby to the window the nurse comes out.
"We were getting ready to take her to her mom's room."
"Oh, ok."
The nurse wheels the baby out, and down the hall to Lorelai's room. Rory, April, and Emily follow the nurse into the room. Luke is sitting in chair next to Lorelai who is asleep.
"Here Emily why don't you take my seat so you can hold the baby," Luke offers sluggishly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
Rory carefully picks up the baby and walks a foot and a half to her grandmother, she then gently places the baby in her arms. They all just stare at her. She's peacefully asleep. She has a head full of curly black hair.
Emily took one look at the little girl and knew. She wasn't going to say anything though. As she stared at the baby's golden skin smiles knowing the truth. As she held the little girl she couldn't help but smell the little girl's head. She loved the smell of a newborn baby. Lola had on a tiny pink, fleece sleeper. All Emily wanted to do was cuddle her. Lola opens her eyes and stares up at Emily with tiny deep blue eyes.
"Hi sweetheart," Emily says in a soft gentle voice.
She looks at her grandmother and then begins sucking on her thumb.
"Oh no, none of that."
"What?" Luke questions.
"Do you have a pacifier handy?"
"Why?"
"Because if you let her suck her thumb she'll never stop. Lorelai sucked her thumb until she was twelve, and had to have braces for four years because of it."
"Ok," Luke sighs as she scrambles to find a binky.
"Don't worry about it just give her to me," Lorelai sluggishly demands as she wakes from her stupor.
Emily gently places the angelic baby in Lorelai's arms.
"Hi beautiful," Lorelai coos as she drapes a pink blanket over herself and the baby.
The stay in the hospital was pleasant and relaxing for Lorelai. It was nerve racking for Luke, but after Lorelai's last stay in the hospital it wasn't as bad.
Rory and April jump out of the car in front of Lorelai to snap some pictures of the baby as she got out of the car.
Lorelai slowly walks into the house with the baby in her arms and Luke behind her. As they walk into the house Paul Anka greets them. He licks the baby's toe which is sticking out of her blanket. He takes a quick look at her and then takes a seat on his chair. Lorelai places the baby in her basinet and head s up the stairs to take a quick shower. After she gets out of the shower she decides to take a short little nap. April and Rory go into town to stock up on diapers and wipes, and to get something to eat. This leaves Luke alone with Lola. For a couple minutes he just sits and stares at her, that is until she starts to cry. He quickly scoops her up. The crying wakes Lorelai up. She starts down the stairs but stops when she can see Luke. He sitting on the couch patting the baby whispering to her. He cradles her, but she starts crying again. He quickly grabs her binky out of the diaper bag. She stops crying as soon as he gives it to her. She stares up at him. He gives her a kiss, and stares back at her. She reaches up and grabs his finger. Lorelai goes back upstairs to finish her nap. Rory and April arrive home about fifteen minutes later. Both of them are eager to hold Lola. They take turns passing her back and fourth. Lorelai tip toes down the stairs and snaps a few pictures before anyone notices her.
"Hey mom," Rory says as she looks up the stairs.
"Do I smell food?" Lorelai wonders.
"Oh yeah, but it's probably cold," April informs her.
"It doesn't matter," Lorelai replies.
They put the baby in her pink bouncy seat and gather around the dinner table. They grab some clean plates and start eating which proves to be rather difficult seeing as Lola is at the center of the table in her bouncy chair. As Lorelai looked around the table she couldn't help but be thankful. She was surrounded by loving, happy people. People that were glad she'd figured it out.
