A/N Sorry its been so long since i updated, I have lost motivation to write and have been in a really deep funk on and off since my relationship split at the end of January 2019 and some other things going on with my kids. I have 1 more chapter of this story pre-written and i can hopefully get out of my funk and write more and end this story the way it deserves. Thank you all for your patients, i hope to get back to normal soon.
April 1st, 2008
Everyone got together for their regular Tuesday night dinner. They were all sitting at their table, and the waitress was taking the drink order from Finn.
"5 Mcallens. 4 margaritas and a virgin margarita," Finn said
"Make that 2 virgin margaritas," Steph says
"Not drinking Steph, what's wrong," Finn asks bug-eyed
"There seems to be a parasite that doesn't like booze taking over my body," Steph says
"Oh well that's no good, have you seen a doctor yet," Finn asks, and Rory is trying to hide a smirk
"Yes, doc said it will be like this at least another 6 months," Steph says and Rory snickers
"They can tell how long you're going to be sick?" Finn asked confused
"Ya usually with this condition it lasted about 40 weeks and im only about 11 weeks into it," Steph says and her and Tristan smile at each other
"April fools?" Andria asks
"No April fools, Legit" Steph says
"No way?" colin says
"Yes, mid-October," Tristan says smiling
"It's about bloody time, I expected it to happen a long time ago before you were even married," Finn says
"Nope we just let nature take its course after we got married and voila pregnant I am," Steph says
Everyone looked at Paris and Robert
"Any news like a baby, or elopement you would like to tell us about?" Colin asks
"We havent set a date even if we are being pressured to get married fast and no there's, not a baby, no elopement plans yet either," Robert says
"I wouldn't get pregnant before I got married my grandmother would kill me and disown me after my mom and dad had to get eloped to cover up that she was pregnant before they married," Paris says
"Oh just run off get married and get knocked up fast so your baby can grow up with ours," Andrea says laughing
"We will take that into advisement," Robert says
"It's not like I really want a big wedding I would be happy with just close family and friends," Paris says
Robert looks at Paris in shock, he thought of all people she would want the big wedding in the hopes her parents would be proud of her finally
"What, it's not like my parents would actually be there so why put on the big show for them, hell if they wanted a big party they can throw it, but I want a wedding that is for us, not anyone else," Paris says
"That just kind of shocked me but I do understand, I like the idea of a small wedding also," Robert says
"You know we could pull it all off very fast like within a week unless you wanted more time," Rory says smiling
Robert and Paris both looked at each other
"2 weeks, just our group family and a few LDB members we are all friends with," Paris says smiling
"How does April 12th sound?" Logan asked
"Sounds good, now girls I think we are going to need to find me a dress," Paris says
"I know the perfect person to make you a dress, My mom," Rory says
"Great, so now we just need the bridesmaid's dresses, and tux's," Paris says
"Done, tomorrow morning we can all get together and get it done" Robert says
The next morning they all got together for breakfast and then split up for their tasks, the girls went to a beautiful bridal shop and found their dress' and the guys went and picked out their suit's, The girls all each got pastel floor-length dresses made of chiffon, and the guys got suit's with shirts to match their wife.
The group did their tasks to make the wedding perfect for Paris and Robert, everything but the dress' and suits were a big secret, they, of course, got options they just wouldn't know what was picked until the time of the wedding, Paris didn't know but her maternal Grandmother was flying in from France especially for the wedding, she loved the idea of a small marriage with just family and friend's and understood that yes Paris and Robert were raised in society, but they were both reasonably private people and were even willing to have a large society reception at a later date if anyone requested it. Grandma Exxon loved that her granddaughter had found the love in her friends she had never received from her parents and that they loved her so much they would plan her wedding for her in such a short amount of time and have so much detail taken into account.

The wedding was in the evening, so the setting up happened during the day, the girls spent the day at the spa getting pampered and the boys spent the day at the club golfing and drinking a little bit.
The area they chose for the ceremony was the flower gardens at the old independence inn grounds near the pond, there were twinkle lights hung with flowers and ivy hanging from them and Luke had built a chuppah. The wedding looked like it was in a little fairy garden with the sun just setting as they said their vows and Paris actually had tears because it was so perfect and her Grandmother was there, It was a shock since her Grandmother hadn't left France since Paris was 10 and had refused to travel since, but Paris getting married had been her exception Mrs. Exxon had known Robert's father and Grandparents and knew he was an excellent match for her only granddaughter, he pulled her out of her comfort zone and made her live life outside of school and be more adventurous.
The small reception they had planned turned into a drop-in dance as much of the town of stars hollow had come to congratulate Robert and Paris, and they had willingly invited them to stay and have some fun dancing and such.
After Paris and Robert had decided the day they would get married Paris had stopped her birth control and they waited to have sex again until they were married, they decided to leave it to nature on when they would have children, for a good 2 months after they were married they couldn't keep their hands to themselves and spent the majority of their time together but no baby was made in that time, Robert was beginning to feel bad he had wanted to have a child so bad but tried not to let Paris know he was getting upset by the negative results, 5 months into their marriage Paris began to look into why she may not be getting pregnant, they were both healthy and young, not stressing over getting pregnant but at the same time wishing it would happen soon. Rory and Steph were about to have their babies, and Paris would have loved to have been pregnant with them, but she knew it probably wouldn't happen as she knew Rory hadn't planned on having another child for at least 2 years and Steph wasn't sure she ever wanted another.
September 12th, 2008
Rory had been rushed into the ER in the middle of the night when she woke up to pee and found she was bleeding, Thankfully it wasn't anything serious Rory had been in the early stages of labor, the doctor said it can happen in pregnancies of multiples towards the end.
11:30 am the whole gang came to visit Rory and Logan, it had worked out that Paris and Robert had Ivy since Rory had been feeling very tired and like the babies were going to come soon. Rory and Logan still hadn't told anyone that they were having twins and were going to leave that as a surprise.
Once everyone was in the room, Logan opened the curtain so everyone could see Rory holding a baby and then went over to the other bassinet and picked up the second little bundle.
"Wait... what... Who's got the real baby?" Lorelai asks
"They are both real mom," Rory says laughing
"Where did you get the other baby from?" Steph asked
"The same place as the first, out of me," Rory said
At this point Paris and Robert had to step out of the room, Paris was upset that she couldn't have one baby, but here Rory was with newborn twins and an 18-month-old already.
"Where did they go," Rory asked
"I think they needed some air and time to recover from the shock," Lorelai says covering knowing that Paris was having troubles dealing with not being able to get pregnant
Once Paris and Robert came back, they decided to tell everyone the story of the twins.
"We knew from early on we were expecting twins we just decided that we would see how long it would take for anyone to ask due to my belly size but I didn't get as big as I did with Ivy so no one ever suspected anything, it's why we told everyone to buy something that supported their guess on gender," Rory says
"Did you know what the genders were?" Steph asks
"No, we didn't ask we just guessed," Logan says
"So who are these little ones we havent been formally introduced yet," Finn says
"This little one is Royal Elias Huntzburger, and She is Constance Everly Huntzberger," Rory says
"Oh those are unique names," Honor says
"That was the point, but we will be calling her Connie, so it's easier for Ivy to say," Logan says
"Oh that's cute," Steph says
"Alright birth details please," Paris asks
"Well, Royal was born at 9:15 am - 6lbs 13oz, 19" long and Connie was born at 9:25 am - 6lbs 2oz, 18" Long" Rory says
"Wow big for twins," Steph says
"They are a good size for being so far along," Logan says
October 15th, 2008
Steph had her baby late in the evening of October 14th, Visiting hours were over for the maternity ward, so everyone decided to wait until the next day to visit the new family.
"Hey momma, how are you feeling?" Rory asked
"I think im doing ok, not to much pain but I do have a husband who seems to think if I do anything for myself I will break or the baby may," Steph says snickering
"Ahh yes the protective first-time dad, Logan was like that also don't forget, he still is like that a little bit but more so when it comes to me having to get up to one of the kids," Rory says
"Hey I helped make them so I can be the one to get up and change diapers since you're the one feeding them and I can't exactly do that or I would," Logan says, and the group laughs
"Finn and I have that deal he gets the baby and changed diapers, and I feed and put the baby back to bed," Andrea says
"I think all of the men think it's the least they can do seeing as they helped make the baby they can help take care of the baby in the middle of the night," Rory says
"Robert and I have that deal, if we have kids before im done school he will be up with us at night and split the baby duties, and we will have a nanny for when we are at work or class," Paris says
"It's good you have it sorted out before the kids come, for some couples childcare is a hard topic and they don't always agree on what should be done by who," Steph says
"You all know how much I like to plan for things and honestly I wanted to get the rough things talked about before they came up, and things would be harder to deal with," Paris says
"Yes, better to plan things and talk them out before its too late," Robert says
