*Rory's Hospital Room

"Hey." Lorelei says entering the room.

Rory's face lights up, "Hi!"

Lorelei hugs Rory, "You're a mom!"

"I know!" Rory replies, joining in her mother's giddiness.

Lorelei sits down on the bed, "So how you doing?"

"I'm fine, a little tired."

"Well, you should try and get some sleep, we'll be here when you wake up."

"I don't think I could sleep. These last two days have been so horrible. I didn't know what was going on, I was so scared." Rory says honestly.

"Oh baby." Lorelei says sympathetically.

"Did you see him?" Rory asks.

"Yea! He's beautiful! He has hair!"

"Well, he is Jess' son."

"True…He was so tiny, his little feet were wiggling and everything."

"Aw, I can't wait to see him again…he has to stay in that damn nursery for observation."

"Well what are you waiting for, lets go see your son!"

"Ok!"

*Fourth Floor Hallway.

*Tristan and Laura are walking hand and hand down the hall.

Laura looks over at Tristan who is beaming, "You better be careful, that smile of yours could blind someone."

Shyly Tristan looks down at his feet, attempting to stop smiling, "Sorry…"

"Hey, I didn't say I wasn't enjoying it." Laura smirks to which Tristan's face turns red.

Giving her a playful smile, Tristan leans against the wall, pulling her close to him.

"Grr, don't be difficult."

"That's who I am, don't go trying to change me, Stan." Laura replies, kissing his neck.

Tristan sighs happily, letting go of Laura.

"What?" She asks uncertainly.

"Nothing…it's just…this is great."

"What is?" Laura smiles.

"You…me…It's…different."

"How so?" She asks seriously

"Well, you don't make me miserable."

"…Where as…?"

"Just about every woman I've ever known has made me completely miserable."

Laura moves away from Tristan, "It's been three days…give me time…" She trails off uncomfortably.

"Sorry, can't." Tristan scoffs, "I need Advil for my face, because its sore from smiling…I don't remember ever smiling this much."

"Tristan…I don't know where you're going with this, but I'm not sure—

"Marry me." Tristan says simply.

"I can't—

"Be my wife, have kids with me."

Laura scoffs uncontrollably, "I think this place is getting to you!"

"No…. you're getting to me."

"Stop It!" Laura raises her voice. "This is crazy."

"Why?"

"Three days, that's why Tristan…and you know what, if I hadn't decided to take the long way home we would have never have met, and you would have found some other women to pursue and coax into marrying you!" Laura answers nervously, starting to pace.

"But we did meet, Laura!"

"Yeah, When you were having a nervous breakdown!" She replies loudly.

A cross-looking nurse approaches them, "Please, keep your voices down, or you'll have to leave."

"Sorry ma'am." Tristan says casually.

Laura takes this opportunity to head for the door, but Tristan grabs her arm before she can go far, "Hey!" He calls to her. "Talk to me." He says softly.

"I'm trying…you're being unreasonable." She answers desperately.

"How am I being unreasonable?"

"Y-You're asking me to, to dedicate my life to you…someone I only met 72 hours ago!"

Tristan Looks hard into Laura's eyes, "I don't think that's what's bothering you."

Laura's eyes soften for a moment before she looks away from Tristan, "Of course it is."

"No…I think what's freaking you out is…you want to say yes."

Laura pulls away, "N-N—

"See, you can't say it can you?"

"Tristan…you don't understand."

"Yes I do…I'm in the same place you are…I've never made a commitment to anything in my life, and now after knowing you for only 3 days, I'm secure enough in this relationship to know that I want to marry you…and the fact that I'm not hiding in a corner somewhere at the thought of that, scares me even more."

Laura sighs heavily, "I just don't know if I'm ready to bank my entire future on three days…even if they have been incredible."

"So…say yes to make me happy…and then we can spend 3 even more incredible weeks together before you decide on a china pattern." Tristan smirks.

"Tristan…"

Tristan's eyes soften. "Alright, just forget that I asked…maybe we can discuss it in a few years." Tristan replies, turning his back to her.

"Yes." She says quietly.

Tristan turns around, a smirk crossing his face, "I knew you'd come around."

*In front of the nursery—Same time.

*Jess is talking to Luke, whose eyes are glued to the glass. Rory, supported slightly by Lorelei approaches them. Jess looks up as Rory comes into view.

"Hey!" He calls, rushing towards them. "Come here, I got her." He says to Lorelei as he takes hold of Rory's right side. "You ok?"

"I'm fine." Rory says breathlessly.

Luke pipes in, "I'll get a chair."

"Thanks." Rory says to his back as Luke rushes back to the room.

Rory moves slowly towards the glass. Leaning against it she smiles, "He does have hair." She exclaims.

"I told you!"

Jess stands behind Rory, rubbing her shoulders, "He hasn't closed his eyes once."

"What did you expect?"

"Her e you go." Luke intercepts sliding a chair next to Rory.

Sitting down, she turns to him, "So…Grandpa, what do you think?"

"I think…that kids going to be a handful."

"Yep, he was a hoodlum at birth!" Lorelei exclaims.

Rory and Jess do not respond, their eyes and minds are on Jacob.

Noticing Luke speaks, "Come on…let's get breakfast, give them some time…"

Lorelei looks back knowingly at him, "ok…" She smiles at the picture in front of her, "We'll bring you guys something back…pancakes sound ok?"

"Uh huh" Jess replies absentmindedly, not looking behind him

"Ok, we'll be back." Lorelei replies taking Luke's hand and following him out.

Lorelei stops for a moment, watching as Jess, the boy she once despised, gently kisses her daughters neck.

"You ready?" Luke asks

"Yea, I'm ready." Lorelei replies turning away and heading for the door.

A/N—Ok so this is definitely not the end of the story, just a sap-happy chapter. It is however, winding down, I think its time for me to move onto another story, plus next week is my last week of high school forever, so I'm going to be really busy and not able to put a lot into the story. So prepare for this story to be completed by next week. I'd like to once again thank everyone for their support, and their patience with my overwhelming amount of typos.
