(Rory's point of view)

An hour later Luke cam back out. He was smiling and said. "They're both okay. They put Will in the NICU he's okay just needs a little oxygen to help him breath." "How's Mom?" I asked anxious. "Her blood pressure is back up so they are moving her back to the ICU. But they are hopefully they can get it down now since they can give her more powerful medications." Luke answered. "When can I see her or Will?" I asked. "It'll be a little while before your Mom can have visitors. But the nurse said we can see Will now I told her I had to come get his big sister." Luke answered.

Logan kissed my cheek and handed me a camera. I laughed and said. "See you in a bit and thanks." Logan nodded as Luke and I walked away. The NICU was unbelievable. There were some many babies in there. Most of them were premature like Will. Luke and I had to gown and glove up to go in. I was really nervous to meet my brother for the first time.

The nurse showed us to Will's incubator. "William Richard Gilmore-Danes 2lbs 5ozs 12 inches." I read out loud. I looked down at my baby brother. I couldn't believe how small he was. He had all kinds of tubes and machines hooked up to his tiny body. He was beautiful black hair and dark eyes. I saw Luke had tears in his eyes. I started to tear up too. "Hello Son, Daddy wants you to listen to me and get well real soon. I promise to bring Mommy to you as soon as I can." Luke said to Will. I smiled and said. "Hi Will I'm your big sister Rory. We are so lucky we have the best Mom around. You also have an amazing Dad. You have another big sister who will be anxious to see you. And we've got some family and a whole town of people who already love you." I said. I saw Luke wiping a tear away.

I left Luke to have a moment alone with Will. I asked the nurse if I could take pictures. She said everyone does. So I took ten pictures from all different angles. We stood there a few more minutes before they told us it was shift change and we would have to leave. I blow Will a kiss. I heard Luke mumbling something.

I hurried back into the waiting room. I went over to my Grandparents first. "How is Will doing?" Grandpa asked. "He's holding his own." I said. Then I showed them the pictures I had just taken. Grandma smile a little but was clearly upset. "He's so small." She said sounding almost scared. I nodded. I let my Grandparents talk.

I headed over to Liz next she was talking with my Dad and Sookie. "Would you like to see your nephew?" I asked Liz. She nodded. Dad and Sookie peeked over my shoulder. Liz was about to cry. She quickly went over to Luke. I noticed both Jess and Logan were gone. I asked Dad and he said they went to get coffee.

I decided to go and look for them. I was about to get into the elevator when they got out of it. Logan handed me a coffee cup. Then he kissed me cheek. "How's Will doing?" Jess asked. "He's hooked up to a ton of stuff and they are giving him oxygen." I answered honestly. "I took pictures." I said. "I want to see." Jess said. I showed Jess and Logan the pictures. "Wow he's so small." Jess said in shock. Then Logan said. "Looks like a strong little guy to me." I nodded in agreement.

The waiting room started to clear out. Luke sent my Grandparent home to rest and promised to call with updates. I sent Dad and Sookie home with the same promise. Then Jess talked Liz into leaving. So it was just Logan, Jess, and I left in the waiting room. They had come and got Luke so he could go see Will again.

I tried to get Logan to leave but he refused. Though he did agree that he should call and check on Austin. Logan went outside to call. "I have something I think I should tell you." Jess said. "Oh yeah?" I questioned. "It's kind of a secret for now." Jess said. I grinned and said. "I have one of those too." "What's your secret?" Jess asked.

"You go first." I said. "My girlfriend has always wanted to live in a small town. She and I are moving to Stars Hallow. I've already bought a house not far from Luke and Lorelei." Jess said. I started laughing I thought he was joking I mean he hated Stars Hallow and small town life. "I'm serious Ror." He said. I stopped laughing and said. "Oh um wow that's great." "Yeah thanks now it's your turn." He said. "I quit my job I've moving home too." I said.

Jess grinned and said. "I knew you still loved him." I grinned and said. "Logan said the two of you discussed me but he wouldn't tell me what you said." "Yes we did. Mainly we talked about how easy it is to fall in love with you but getting over you well you can't." Jess said making me blushing and look away. I wasn't sure what to say.

"I love my girlfriend. She's great but she isn't you Ror. No one is." Jess said. I started to blush again. I just smiled awkwardly. "It's okay Rory I know you love Logan and I'm happy for you." Jess reassured me. A nurse came up to us. "Miss Gilmore your Mother is awake and she can have two visitors." The nurse said. "I'll go get Luke and tell Logan where you went." Jess said. "Thanks Jess." I said hugging him.
