I'll Buy You a New Water
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. Also, in this chapter, there are lyrics to Sheryl Crow's song "My Favorite Mistake" those belong to her and her record company.
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 has found out what the baby is. It is now June 22nd at 4:00 p.m.
*** At Sam's House***
Sam: I think this a really crappy song.
Lydia: Me too.
Sam: So why are we listening to it?
Lydia: Because this has been my song through out this pregnancy
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I was just beginning
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
Sam: It is totally you for this situation in your life.
Lydia: Oh my God Sam.
Sam: What. Lydia, why are you crouching over like that?
Lydia: My water just broke.
Sam: Well, I'll buy you a new water.
Lydia: No, I need you to take me to the hospital, and then call Lorelai at the Inn.
Sam: I think I can handle that. What's Lorelai's cell number?
Lydia: 555-1008. I am pretty sure that's it. If it's not, the Inn's number is 666-8101.
Sam: Okay. Just hold on Lyd. I'll get you to the hospital as quick as I can.
Lydia: Hurry, this baby is not going to wait very long.
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I've gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
Sam: (calling Lorelai) Lorelai, this is Sam, Lyd's friend. Listen, I need you to come to Hartford. Lydia's water broke. I am going to take her to the hospital, so you and Rory can meet us there.
Lorelai: Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can. Ask Lydia if she wants mom and dad there.
Sam: Okay. Lydia, do you want your parents there?
Lydia: NO!
Sam: Did you hear that? It's a big fat no!
Lorelai: Tell her I am leaving right now.
Sam: Okay, see you there.
***At Hartford Community Hospital***
Sam: Hey, I have a lady in labor. Can you register her please?
Secretary: Name please.
Sam: Lydia Gilmore. She has a due date of June 26th.
Secretary: Yes, Lydia Gilmore. Sit in the wheelchair, and we will go get you a room.
Sam: What room will it be?
Secretary: 237.
Sam: Thanks. Lyd, I am going to wait here for Lorelai and Rory. Is that okay?
Lydia: Yeah, that's fine. I hope they hurry, this baby is coming very fast.
***In Room 237***
Nurse: Lydia, you are dilated to eight centimeters already. This means you will have your baby within a few hours.
Lydia: Wow that was fast. (hears knocking on the door) Come in! (hoping it would be Lorelai)
Lorelai: Hey sweets, how are you doin?
Lydia: Pretty good for now. I am at eight centimeters already!
Lorelai: Wow Lyd, that's great. Do you have your list of names ready?
Lydia: Yep, I do. Courtney Victoria or Grant Matthew Gilmore.
Lorelai: Oh, so we changed to Grant instead of Drake? I was growing fond of Drake.
Lydia: So it's a boy?
Lorelai: Now, I didn't say that. I just like the name Drake.
Lydia: Well, I thought about it for a while, and I decided that I like the name Grant better than Drake. Plus I am a big fan of alliteration. I like Grant Gilmore. It has a nice ring to it.
Lorelai: Yeah, yeah it does.
***Four hours later, it's Grant or Courtney time***
Lorelai: Come on Lyd, you can do it, just one more. (breaks her hand away, it has never been crunched so hard.)
Lydia: Lor, I can't do it, it hurts too much. (sounds like she is about to cry)
Lorelai: Yes you can, think of Grant or Courtney. That little baby will be here very shortly. I know you can do it. I have confidence. So, go for it again, you can do it.
Lydia: Okay, here it goes.
Dr. Pratt: Congratulations Lydia, you have a very big and beautiful baby boy.
Lydia: Lor, look, I have a beautiful son. Look at that thick black hair. Oh my God. He is so gorgeous. And he's mine!
Lorelai: You did it babe. Congratulations. "Grant" is very handsome.
Lydia: Now Lor, you can't cry. I am the new mommy here. I am supposed to cry.
Lorelai: I know, but it is just so awesome! This just brings back memories of when Rory was this tiny. I want another baby.
Lydia: You know, that diner guy looks like he would be a good daddy. You know you like him Lor. Have him make you a baby.
Lorelai: Shh. Virgin baby ears. He doesn't need to have this talk around him. Now, you rest up, and I am going to tell Rory about her new cousin. Wow! If she's a cousin, that makes me an aunt. Wow, I am an aunt!
Lydia: Yeah, you are. Congratulations.
***In the waiting room***
Rory: Hey mom! Tell me. Tell me. Do I have a girl or boy cousin?
Lorelai: We have a new Gilmore Male. Grant Matthew Gilmore. He has thick black hair and blue eyes. I think they said he looked fairly big, but I don't exactly know how much he weighed. I'll know a little later.
Rory: That's great! I am so excited. I am getting doubly blessed today. You wanna know why?
Lorelai: Yes, do tell.
Rory: Sherri is here. And she had my new sister. Mom! I have a new sister today also! Isn't that great? Dad just called my cell, and I explained it to him, and he says that he is here too. I have a new sister! Dad said they decided on Hannah Elizabeth. They are in room 238. What room is Lydia in?
Lorelai: 237.
Rory: Oh. That close.
Lorelai: Yeah. Well, I better go get a coffee. Lydia is resting now. But you can go ahead and look at him in the nursery. Tell your dad congratulations for me.
Rory: I will. I will. God, this is so exciting.
Lorelai was wandering around the hospital, when she saw Chris in the gift shop.
Lorelai: Christopher? I hear congratulations are in order.
Chris: Lor, hi. Yeah, thanks. 6 lbs. 8 oz. 20 inches. She was born at 3:14 this morning. And I hear Lydia is here too.
Lorelai: Yeah, she is, she is. She had a baby boy about twenty-five minutes ago. He was a pretty good size. His name is Grant.
Christopher: Hannah Elizabeth.
Lorelai: Huh? Oh yeah, Rory said. That is a beautiful name Chris. (thinking she loved that name, and she would love to have that name for another daughter she may have some day, maybe the daughter she could have with Luke)
Christopher: Well, I better get back to Sherri and Hannah. Tell Lydia I say hi.
Lorelai: Yeah, I will. Tell Sherri hi. And send a picture with Rory. I must see little Hannah.
Lorelai wandered for a little bit. And then she decided to call her parent's. They had do know.
**Gilmore Phone Ringing**
Emily: Hello?
Lorelai: Hey mom, it's me.
Emily: Yes. Hello Lorelai. How's things. How's Rory?
Lorelai: Oh yes, Lorelai, how's Lydia? Oh she's fine. She just gave birth to a big beautiful baby boy. How's the baby doing? Oh he's fine. Just as beautiful as ever.
Emily: Lydia had the baby today? Why didn't you call us sooner? We would have come sooner.
Lorelai: I asked her, mom, if she wanted you here. She said no. But I did ask.
Emily: Well thank you, I appreciate that. But I will come down now.
Lorelai: No mom, not now. Lydia and Grant are resting. I don't think she can handle you right now.
Emily: Grant?
Lorelai: Yes, Grant Matthew Gilmore.
Emily: That is a handsome name. Lorelai?
Lorelai: Yes?
Emily: Could you take a picture of Grant and Lydia together, and drop it off to us?
Lorelai: Yes, I suppose I could. Oh by the way, Rory is also a big sister today too.
Emily: Really?
Lorelai: Yes. Hannah Elizabeth Haden was born at 3:14 this morning. I think Chris said she was six pounds eight ounces.
Emily: If you see Chris again, tell him congratulations for me, will you? (she had a very sad sound in her voice)
Lorelai: I will mom. But I better go. Lydia will be up soon.
Emily: Okay, good-bye Lorelai. And Lorelai?
Lorelai: Yes mom.
Emily: Tell Lydia I love her. And Lorelai?
Lorelai: Yes mother?
Emily: I love you too.
Lorelai: Love you too. (I don't think I have ever heard Lorelai say that to her mother)
***Back in Lydia's room***
Lydia: Hey Lorelai.
Lorelai: I called mom.
Lydia: You did? I guess that was okay.
Lorelai: She had to know.
Lydia: I know she did. And I was going to call her and let her know.
Lorelai: Well, I saved you the pain.
Lydia: Thank you. Oh, and they said he was eight pounds 14 ounces and 22 ½ inches long!
Lorelai: Wow, what a big guy.
Lydia: And he was even four days early!
Lorelai: That he was. Hey Lyd?
Lydia: Yeah?
Lorelai: Mom wants me to take a picture of you two together. I will drop it off late when I run back home to get some things.
Lydia: That's fine.
Lorelai: Okay then. Smile pretty and say cheese!
Lydia: Cheese!!!
It was a good day. Lydia Gilmore had a healthy baby boy. And Rory became a big sister. Everything was going good for the Gilmore Girls.
Did you know when you go
It's the perfect ending
To the bad day I've gotten used to spending
When you go all I know is
You're my favorite mistake
You're my favorite mistake
