A/N So thank you for the encouragement to continue this story. This one will be baby talk filled. So i hope you don't mind babies! Thank you for reading and reviewing! :)
"Divorced? Really?" Rory is surprised. She didn't see that coming.
"Yeah. He at first didn't want to tell me why, or what happened. I shook it out of him." Logan replies.
"Well? Why are your parents divorcing?" Rory asks intrigued.
"Because of us." Logan says simply.
"What do you mean?"
"Remember when my dad came here to warn you about what my mom was going to do, or was trying to do?"
"Yeah?"
"Apparently he told my mom that she was wasting her time trying to break us up, and told her that he came here. That caused a really big scene, and ended with my dad asking for a divorce."
"Your dad? Really? I'm kind of stunned."
"I am too, but not at the same time. I knew my mom wouldn't ask for the divorce, then she would be cut off. My dad has a wicked pre-nup. "
"That's true. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Doesn't affect me. To be honest I'm surprised they stayed married this long."
"Divorce doesn't look good in society." Rory points out.
"My dad has never cared about what society thinks."
"Which is why HE is the one who initiated the divorce."
"You are right about that."
May 1st. Luke and Lorelai are at their last appointment with the OBGYN. Lorelai lays back on the bed with her belly exposed as Dr. Bailey checks on the baby.
"Heart beat is strong and steady however.."
"What? What is wrong?" Luke asks frantically.
"Nothing to worry about right now, but it seems your baby is breeched."
"Breeched?" Lorelai asks
"It's when the baby is backwards right? I think that's what I read." Luke answers for the doctor.
"Essentially yes, baby boys head is up here -she points to the middle of Lorelais stomach.- When it should be down here, towards the cervix, ready for you to give birth."
"So what does that mean? What can we do?" Lorelai asks.
"Its not urgent now. I'm going to give you a few exercises to help the baby turn on his own. I want you to come back in two weeks and we will see if baby has turned on his own, or with help of the exercises.
"Sounds good. Thank you Dr. Bailey." Luke shakes her hand.
The Gilmore/Danes house that evening.
"So where is that book you're hiding? Lorelai asks as Luke and Lorelai sit together eating takeout on the couch.
"Book? What do you mean?" Luke plays innocent.
"That pregnancy book you're reading."
"Oh that. It's in the bedroom."
"Why didn't you tell me you were reading a pregnancy book?"
"I didn't NOT tell you, I just didn't mention it."
"I love that you're studying for this."
"I just want to be prepared. This is the first time I'll be raising an infant."
"Are you nervous?" Lorelai asks taking a bite of her Chinese food.
"Of course I am. I'm scared as hell." Luke admits.
"You are going to be a great dad Luke." Lorelai assures him.
"How do you know?"
"Because, I know you Luke. And when you need help I'll be there. I've done this before, granted it was awhile ago I think I remember the basics.
"Thank you Lorelai. I'm so glad you have you as a wife and mother of my child." Luke says softly.
"We are lucky to have you." Lorelai rubs her belly.
Two weeks later. May 15th.
Rory and Logan are at their Doctors office. They talked and they decided they didn't want to wait anymore. They wanted to know the gender of their baby. Rory wanted to know as soon as possible. She was just hoping and hoping for a little baby girl. She wouldn't last the 14 more weeks until she gave birth to find out.
"Are you sure you want to know?" The Doctor asks Rory and Logan.
"We're sure" They say in unison.
Dr. White moves around the wand and takes a look at their baby.
"Okay I think I've got a pretty good look at what the gender is."
"Tell us." Logan says eagerly.
The doctor paused another moment looking at each other their faces as they waited impatiently.
He points to the monitor. "Take a good look at your daughter."
Logan and Rory grab each others hands.
Rory is close to tears. "We get our little baby girl." She says through sniffles.
Logan hugs his wife. "Oh Rory. I am so happy."
"Me too Logan. I have never been happier."
"I'm so glad we decided to have a child." Logan kisses her on the lips. He keeps his face to hers. I love you Lorelai Huntzberger."
"I love you too." Rory made a face. She didn't like the way Lorelai Huntzberger sounded. It sounded like he was married to her mom.
"I don't mean to interrupt but there are a few things we need to do, a few tests to make sure things are okay."
"Oh right. Sorry Doc." Logan moves.
"What kinds of tests? Should I be worried?" Rory asks.
"Oh no. Everything looks great. These are just standard. You are about 26 weeks along, and everything seems to be the way it should."
Rogan's House. Rory has been working on her novel. Logan is working from home. He only goes into the Office twice a week. With Lorelai closing in on her due date Rory asked Logan to stay home more so he could take her to the hospital when she went into labor.
Lorelai is at the doctors office alone. Luke was supposed to come but Caesar got sick last minute and he had to work at the diner. Luke wanted to ask Logan to help out but Lorelai said she was fine going to this one alone. Lorelai gets on the table and Dr. Bailey makes small talk asking how things have been and where her husband was.
"So? How do things look?" Lorelai asks nervously.
"Did you do those exercises I gave you?"
"Yes. I did. Even the ones that were hard to do. My husband insisted."
"Unfortunately Baby is still backwards- It's not your fault. Sometimes the exercises don't work. However the more Baby grows the less space there is for him to move. We may need to turn him, or you may need a C- section. Is that something you and your husband are okay with?"
"Oh um, well. We hadn't talked about it. But if a C-section is necessary I have no objections. Got to get him out of there somehow."
"Exactly. Other than the position of the baby. Everything else is right on track. Your blood pressure looks good. You've gained roughly 25 pounds with this pregnancy"
"Ugh don't remind me." Lorelai jokes.
"That's a good thing. Your baby needs you to gain the weight."
"Will you tell that to my ankles. They are not handling it well."
"Keep doing what you're doing. The baby should be born happy and healthy. He will be well worth the swollen ankles."
"Thank you Dr. Bailey."
Lorelai walks outside the hospital to call Luke to give her a ride home. No answer. She waits a minute. Maybe he was busy. She calls again. Still no answer. Lorelai sits on a bench for a moment. She calls Rory.
"Hey are you and Logan busy?" Lorelai asks.
"Nope were not, is everything okay?"
"Yeah it's just Luke was supposed to pick me up but he's not answering."
"Logan and I are on our way. How about you come hang with us? I have something I want to tell you anyway."
"Okay that sounds good. I'm right out front."
Half hour later. The three of them are inside Rogan.
"What is it you wanted to tell me?" Lorelai asks her daughter.
"We decided we didn't want to wait any longer." Logan begins.
"What do you mean?" Lorelai asked confused.
"We found out the gender today" Rory almost squeals.
"Oh my god! You did! Tell me!" Lorelai begs.
"We are having a girl." Logan informs her.
"Oh thank god! I know lots about girls!" Lorelai is over joyed for her own daughter to experience what she did.
Lorelai's phone starts ringing. It's Luke
"Hey doll." She answers the phone.
"Oh good you're okay! Where are you?"
"I'm at Rory's. Where are you?" I'm at home. I went to the Hospital to pick you up but you weren't there. I figured you caught a ride with someone so I came home. And you're not here. I kind of got panicked. Why didn't you call me?"
"I did call you at the diner. Twice. You didn't answer. So I called Rory. I'm sorry Luke I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay. Sorry I just got a little panicked. You're carrying something very precious to me."
"I know. Sorry. Want to come over to Rory's with me?"
"I can't I have to get back to the diner. Pick you up tonight?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
May 25th.
Lorelai is laying in bed. Once again she is having such a hard time sleeping. She cannot get comfortable. She gets a pain in her stomach. Was that... She was pretty sure it was. Not like last week when she had those false labor pains. Braxton Hicks. She was pretty sure this was it. It was midnight. She really didn't want to wake Luke again if these were false pains again. She sat up in bed. She felt pressure. Immense pressure. Another contraction. What was that 3 minutes apart? It was time. She nudges Luke.
"Luke. Wake up."
Luke stirs slightly. "Are you okay?"
"I think this is it Luke."
Luke jumps up gets tangled in the blankets and falls out of the bed. "Lets go!"
"Are you sure because I don't want to go there for nothing."
"I don't want you to give birth here. Now lets go!"
Luke checks Lorelai in and they give her a room immediately.
Dr. Bailey is there at Lorelai's side.
"How you doing mama?"
"I'm pretty sure this is it."
Dr. Bailey quickly preps Lorelai and gives her a look.
"You're right this is it. You my dear are ready to push."
"What about..." She trails off.
"Don't worry. Baby has turned himself around. Now push."
Lorelai begins to push. Luke steps outside for a moment to call Rory. He was hesitant about it but Rory said to call. No matter the time.
20 minutes later Rory and Logan arrive at the hospital and Rory is by Lorelai's side.
On may 25th Richard Scott Danes was born to Lorelai Gilmore and Luke Danes. Weighing in at 7 pounds. 11 ounces.
A/N Ive never given birth or been pregnant. So please excuse my lack of knowledge about how long things take. I wanted Lorelai to have a quick and Easy birth though. so. I hope you enjoy!
