Boy or Girl?

Summary: What if Lorelai Gilmore had a younger sister? What if she became pregnant? How will Richard and Emily take it?

A/N: I own none of the characters except for Lydia, and a couple of other characters that will be created later in the story. The Gilmore regulars belong to the lucky people at the WB.

Characters in this story: Lorelai Gilmore, 34, Rory Gilmore, 18, Richard Gilmore, 55, Emily Gilmore, 54, Lydia Gilmore, 17, Sam Huntington, 16, and Matt Kemper, 17. (I have changed the ages, to fit better)

A/N: Sam is a girl, not a boy. Just to clear that up a bit.

A/N: These next chapters are going to pass time quickly. I have better plot lines after the baby is born.

Here is a summary of what has happened since November. Matt went with Lydia to the appointment in December. In January, he left for Washington. He is working there with his uncle, and he is sending half of his check to Lydia for the baby. Lydia has moved in with Lorelai. She is still attending Chilton. She rides the bus with Rory everyday. Lyd turned 18 in January. Emily told Richard, and he was so upset, that he had a heart attack. He is fine now, but demands that Lydia bring the baby back when it is born. He is not going to be left out of this child's life like he was Rory's.

*** Lorelai and Lydia are on their way to Lydia's five month appointment***

Lydia: So, Lorelai, do you think that I should find out if the baby is a boy or girl?

Lorelai: Well, I found out what Rory was, and I wished I would not have. I think the element of surprise would be a lot more fun. But Lyd, it is your baby. If you want to find out, you should.

Lydia: I think you are right Lorelai. I want to be surprised. But at the same time, I want to know. It would be easier to plan if I knew what I was having.

Lorelai: Your choice Lyd. Boy or girl, it will be loved.

Lydia: I'll see how I feel when I get there.

Lorelai: Okay.

***At Dr. Pratt's office***

Dr. Pratt: Lydia, you can go ahead and come back now if you would.

Lydia: Okay. I'm coming.

Lorelai: Boy or Girl? Girl or Boy? What will Lydia decide? Ladies and Gentlemen, drum roll please.

Lydia: Lorelai, sometimes I wish you could act normal.

Lorelai: Yeah, me too. But I can't. It's illegal under the "Lorelai Code of Laws".

Lydia: Right.

Dr. Pratt: Okay Lyd, this is going to be cold as usual.

Lydia: Okay, I'm ready now.

Dr. Pratt: If I get this at the right angle, I can see what the sex is. Would you like to know if you are having a boy or a girl?

Lydia: Could you write it down on a piece of paper, and put it in two envelopes, so if I want to know later I can.

Lorelai: Actually I was hoping to know. You know, so I could plan a room for this little guy or girl.

Dr. Pratt: If you want to know, and it's okay with Lydia, I can tell you.

Lorelai: Lydia? Can I know, huh, can I know?

Lydia: I don't care. But how are you going to keep it from me?

Lorelai: You just won't be allowed in the baby's room. I will keep the room locked, and you just won't know.

Lydia: Yeah, Lorelai, go ahead. You can know.

Dr. Pratt: Come here Lorelai. (starts to whisper)

Lorelai: Really? That's great. I kind of had a feeling it was a ______! OH, this is going to be so much fun torturing you with this for the next three and a half months Lyd.

Lydia: You can't tell Rory. She has to be surprised too. I can't be the only one suffering.

Dr. Pratt: Your baby looks to be about three pounds 11 ounces. That is a pretty good size for someone your age, and it's gestational age.

Lydia: That's great. I am so excited. I think I am going to eventually crack and have to ask Lorelai to tell me.

Lorelai: Oh no. I won't crack. This baby will be top secret until approximately June 26th.

Lydia: I swear, you can be so evil sometimes.

Lorelai: (does an evil laugh) I know. No, literally, I know.

Lydia: (jokingly) See what I have to live with.

Dr. Pratt: You have my deepest sympathies.

Lydia: Thanks Dr. Pratt. See you in April.

***On the way home***

Lorelai: So, let's talk names. What are you thinking on for names?

Lydia: I was trying to think of some not-so-used names, ya know? Madison and Katie are so overly used. My baby is going to have a unique name.

Lorelai: Oh, so you think it's a girl do you?

Lydia: I don't know, is it huh? Come on Lor, I'm desperate.

Lorelai: You could have found out. It was your choice. I have been sworn to secrecy.

Lydia: You're right. I was actually thinking of Drake Gabriel Gilmore for a boy, and Courtney Victoria Gilmore for a girl.

Lorelai: Those are so cute. Especially since if it's a girl she will be named after me.

Lydia: I really wished I would have found out what the baby was.

Lorelai: I don't. This will be fun for the next three and a half months.

Lydia: Yeah, you have your fun. But remember, you will be the one whose hand I am going to be breaking while I'm in labor. Yepp. Add that to your list of events to come for ya.

Lorelai: Right. I will remember that. But you're still not going to know.



~REVIEWS help make the story better and help me out. I will appreciate what you have to say. Any thoughts on the boy or girl thing? I haven't decided on what I want it to be yet. Help me out with your thoughts.

Next chapter~ I'll buy you a new water~ Lydia will go into labor. Like I said, this is moving sort of fast, but I want to get up to where it will get better.
