AN: OMG! 20 reviews when I wrote this. That makes me so happy! So please keep reviewing. It gives me confidence to keep writing. I know that a lot of you want me to bring back Tristan, and I might, a lot of you also want this to be a R/J, and it might. I'm not sure. So keep reviewing and telling me what you want. This fic may get a little racy in future chapters, so tell me if you mind that. Anyway, I gotta start writing. Oh and I was wondering if anyone would like to beta read for me? You would just need to go through and fix mis-spellings, (I spell check so there shouldn't be many) and maybe add a few he said she said, things. :) Email me at if you would do it for me, thanx a bunch.

Long after the sunset they were still sitting there, lost in there own thoughts. Suddenly Rory broke the silence.
"Jess?"
"Yeah Ror?" He answered
"You know, er....Lanes not here, and all, and um...I need a um.."
"Ror, speak up, I still don't always understand Gilmore gabble."
"Ineedabirthingcoachwillyouhelpme?" It came out in one long word. None of which he could understand.
"Er..."
"Okay, I need a birthing coach. You know the ones that are in the delivery room sense Tristans..." She mumbled the last part and her eyes started to glaze over.
"Yeah."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah"
"Oh, thank you so much Jess." she reached out and embraced him in a hug. He could feel her shivering slightly.
"Lets go get some coffee to celebrate, okay?"
"Yeah, lets."
Together they walked to Lukes, which quickly filled up after the two sat down. They were all curious who the father of Rory's baby was. Even Lorelai and Luke didn't know for sure. Of course they thought it was Tristan, but Rory wouldn't tell them. The only one who knew for sure was Jess. They had always been friends, but sense that day in the hospital, he had stuck by her like there was an invisible force field holding him there. He was even going to take her to the highschool, for her new teaching job. He had told her he would and wasn't about to let her walk a whole 2 blocks on her own. He didn't even let her was to Lukes alone, and if she didn't call him and him she was leaving her chastised her for 'putting the baby in danger'. Rory could see no danger but she obliged him anyway, it was cute this overprotective thing he had going on. So they sat drinking coffee and laughing at Lorelai's antics to get coffee from her new husband. Luke and Lorelai had finally gotten married that June. So on the last day of summer vacation, they all sat together, happy and laughing and thinking of Rory and her baby.

(Rory is now about 3 1/2-4 months pregnant.)
"I'ma going to be a whale." she complained as she turned and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Yeah you are." Lorelai joked.
"MOM!" Rory gave a frustrated sigh. She was starting to show. A slight little bulgde was visable under her shirt.. She'd have to go shopping for bigger clothes agin any day. For now she was wearing jeans that wrapped around her belly, and a cute semi-tight shirt that read 'baby on board' that Lorelai had made her buy. She looked ridiculous, but you just don't argue with Lorelai. They were getting ready to go to her first lamaze class. Jess was sitting, and fidgeting in the living room. Finally Rory was ready to go and they all piled in the New Jeep that Jess had acquired, His motorcycle would just not do for carting Rory around. A) because it was dangerous. B) Because she would'nt fit on it soon. Rory had no idea were Jess had gotten the money for it, considering he was a lit professor, at the highschool, and frankly she didn't want to know. He was 23 and still up to his old tricks. Just the other day her had splattered 'blood' on the sidewalk by Dooses market. Taylor of course went berserk He was still the same boy Rory had first met, yet he was different. He was grown up, and even responsible, but underneath he was still...Jess.
"Mom?"
"Yeah Rory?"
"Your not coming."
"What? Why not? I. Want. To. Go." she sounded like a three year old.
"Only the moms and there coaches get to go.
"Why does he get to be your coach."
"Because."
"Er.....fine, I'm getting out. I'm out. Bye."
"Bye mom." Jess started up the car and they were out of there.
After 45 minutes on the freeway the pulled on to a street in Hartford, an then by a big building. The building was a birthing center. Equipped with the most up to date equipment and the best doctors. Emily had insisted Rory have the baby here. She thought the way they had the moms stay one day in a regular hospital was absurd. Rory would be in a deluxe birthing sweet for 1 week after giving birth. Only the best. The class was in the same building, as were all of Rory's doctors appointment. She had one right after the class. Jess was going to that too. He was, Rory could tell a bit nervous. The first time he had seen Rory dressed in tight clothes that you could see the swell of her tummy in, he had nearly feinted. She looked beautiful, as always.
They all walked up to the elevator and traveled up 5 floors to the lamaze class room. They entered the room and saw a bunch of men and women chatting, the men with them and the women with the women. Rory though Jess might go talk to some of the other guys, but he didn't instead he squeezed her hand and took her purse, holding it so she didn't have to. The teacher came in, told them her name was Ms. Mason and to sit down, the coach cradling the mother in between his legs. Jess looked at Rory to make sure this wouldn't make her uncomfortable. Rory smiled, but the Teacher caught Jess's look.
"I'm assuming you guys have been in-between each other legs before, or she wouldn't be pregnant. (AN: I know that doesn't sound right, but I couldn't figure out how to word it)." she said a smile playing on her lips.
"Um, he's not the father." Rory said.
"Okay, you were holding hands so I assumed......so, where is the father, if I may ask?" she was nice, but inquisitive.
"He's um, he's dead."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Is this your coach?"
"Thank you, and yes he is. I'm Rory and this Jess."
"Well Rory and Jess it's very nice to meet you"
'It's nice to meet you too."
"Well, why don't you guys get settled so we can start."
"Sure." Rory settled in between Jesses legs, leaning her head against his chest.
The first thing they did was learn how to breath. Correct breathing would help dull the pain (or so they say). Then they watched a video of a live birth. By the end Rory was in a panic, and Jess was thinking that he was so glad to be a man.
"Jess?"
"Yeah?"
"I can't do that."
"Yes you can. You have too."
"No. No I don't. She can just stay where she is. Cause, nothing the size of a watermelon coming out of something the size of a grape. It's not gonna happen. Nope. I'm not doing it. I'm not."
"Rory, you really don't have a choice. And i know you. you can do this. You can. You can. You can."
"Are you sure?"
"You are the strongest person I know. Of course you can."
"Okay."
"So......Names. Do you have any names?"
"If it's a girl it will be Lorelai Faith Gilmore the 4th. And if it's a boy I was thinking Tristan Jessie Gilmore."
"That's great Ror. But, can I ask you a question?"
"Yup."
"Why not DuGrey?"
"Because, I took my moms last name ans so will little Lorelai or little T.J."
"Sounds good to me."
"Ready to go to the doctors appointment?"
"Yeah. Lets go."
