Chapter 17: Happy Birthday!!!
Rory arrived at SHES to pick up Chris promptly at one o'clock. Ms. Sassani was supervising the children in the playground. Emma, Mike, Chris, and Wyatt were playing tag. Rory walked up to Ms. Sassani.
"Hi, I'm Rory DuGrey, I'm Chris' older sister, I'm here to pick him up and bring him home."
"Oh, sure, Mrs. Danes called and said you'd be coming. Your husband told me about your large and complicated family when he brought Christopher to school on the first day."
"Hey, CHRIS! Come on, we've got to go home!" called Rory. Chris didn't respond.
"Looks like he wants to play a little bit longer. So, this gives me a chance to strike up a conversation with you. How long have you been teaching?" asked Rory.
"This is my first year. I came here straight out of college."
"So you're just my age. Imagine that, my brother's teacher is the same age as his sister."
"What about you, do you have a job?"
"Well, um…" Rory blushed and looked down.
Ms. Sassani laughed. "I see you'll have quite a time-consuming job in a few months."
"Yeah."
"So Ms. Sassani…"
"Call me Maria."
"Maria, would you like to have dinner with me and Tristan some time?"
"I'd love that, how kind of you."

"Ok, Emily. It will be at your place? Gre- I have to go. Please spread the word. Bye. And thanks," Tristan said into the phone.
"TRISTAN! Guess what. It's a…"
"WAIT. Don't tell me yet," Tristan interrupted. He turned on the computer and logged onto AOL. "Ok. Now. Tell me," he said as he opened a mail document. He opened his address book and prepared to send the email to every listed screen name.
"IT'S A BOY!" Rory said, excitedly.
"Wow. That's great!" Tristan replied, typing in, 'IT'S A BOY!!!' Onto his email. He sent it.
"Happy Birthday, Mary," said Tristan sweetly as he hugged and then kissed his wife. "I can't believe we're having a son."
"I know, neither can I, and he'll be here in just five months."
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Tristan picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi. May I talk to Rory please? It's Lane."
"Sure, No Prob." Tristan put the phone to his shoulder and mouthed, "It's Lane." He handed Rory the phone.
"Hi Lane.
"Hi. So. It's a …" Lane asked
"A Boy!!!!!!" Rory Continued.
"O my God. That is so cool!"
"Yeah. I mean, I was sort of expecting it to be to be a girl. You know because of my mom's twins. But, that was last month. But I'm really happy that it's a boy. I mean, not that I'm not disappointed that it's not a girl, I would have been just as happy with each. I guess this just means Tristan and I will have to have a girl next."
"Yeah. That makes sense. But. I have to go. I just called to tell you that Henry and I are eloping on Halloween. So, bye."
"Bye."
"TRISTAN?" Rory called.
"Yeah," Tristan replied, coming out of the bedroom.
"Oh, just making sure that you knew that Lane and Henry are going to elope on Halloween."
"Ok then."
"Good."
"All is Well."
"Ok. We're going to go to Emily and Richard's house tonight, right?"
"Uh-Huh. Mom wanted to take me though. Luke is taking Chris. So, You'll be driving alone tonight."
"Ok."
"Bye. I've got to go tell mom. Bye, Dear." Rory picked up her coat and walked out the door.

Lorelai was talking very fast and in Ubidubi on her cell phone.
"Ubokabay. Iubi'll subee yuboo labatobor. Buba buby." (A/N: Translation: Okay. I'll see you later.) She clicked the off button. "Ok. I was just calling your grandparents saying that we would be late. You know. We left half an hour after dinner would have started."
"We would have been on time if you hadn't insisted on going to the Diner to ask what time it was. You knew that only Jess was there."
"And you also stopped by Miss Patty's to watch the dancing of the little girls but they were putting on their 'outdoor things'."
"Ok. I just wanted to see their Halloween Routine. Is there something wrong with that?"
"Yes. There is. No more diversions. Or I WILL take the wheel."
"FINE."
"FINE."
"FINE."

"FINE." They stopped yelling, for they had reached the door. "Grandma wants us to go around the back. You go inside, I'll just turn off the car and head in behind you." As soon as Rory left, Lorelai quickly turned off the car and rushed in the front door, which was open. About one minute later, Rory came in the back door. The lights were off, there seemed to be nobody home.
"Hello?" called Rory.
"SURPRISE!" yelled everybody. Out jumped Lorelai, Luke, Chris, Tristan, Maria, Jess, Emily, Richard, Lane, Henry, Sookie, Jackson, Wyatt, Dean, Sandra, Emma, and Jane.
(A/N: In this story, Dean is a fairly good and nice person. He is married to Sandra, and they have two daughters, Emma, who is five, and Jane, who is three. Emma was born when Dean and Sandra were eighteen. She was not an accident. They simply decided that instead of going to college, they would get married and start a family. However, Dean did go to college when Emma and Jane were little so that he would have enough education to get a good job. He and Sandra are very good friends with Rory and Tristan, and Chris often plays with Emma.)
"Thuwpwise!" said Jane, a little bit late. She realized no one else was yelling surprise, looked around, and began to cry.
Rory looked at Dean, as if wanting permission to do something. Dean nodded. "It's okay, Janie, I love the surprise, and I'm so happy you're here." She picked up Jane.
Jane sniffed. "Weawy?"
"Really," answered Rory. She kissed Jane on the forehead and put her down. "Chris, why don't you take Wyatt, Emma, and Janie up to your room and play."
"Okay," said Chris. "C'mon, guys!" They ran up the stairs, and everyone headed to the dinner table. When everybody was seated, Emily spoke up.
"So, Lorelai, have you thought about names for your two little girls?"
"I SURE HAVE! I'm going to name the first one Lorelai."
"And the middle name?"
"Elizabeth."
"The second one?"
"I'm going to name her Lorelai Lorelai. I'll call them Lily and Lizzie."
Emily was aghast. "Well, that's something I've never seen or heard of before. One woman having three daughters by the same name. That certainly will be interesting. Rory, have you thought at all?"
"No, not really, I only just found out that I'm having a boy earlier today."
~*&*~*&*~*&*&*&*~*&*~*&*~
A couple of hours later, Tristan and Rory were driving home in their car. "So," began Tristan, "I was thinking about what your grandmother said. What are we going to name our son?"
"Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Any ideas?"
"Well, I think he should have two middle names, and each of us will pick one. And we'll pick his first name when we see him, so that way it'll really be his."
"That's a great idea. I pick Richard, after my grandfather."
"And I pick Janlan, after mine."
"Okay, that sounds like a good name. A good name for a good boy."
Okay, we're back. We like this chap because there is a bit more Trory interaction. Not much, but we're working on it. Also, we know it's stupid that Lorelai's naming the twins Lorelai and Lorelai, but we find it funny. So, R/R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
