*2 hours later
The door to the Gilmore residence swings open as Lorelai Gilmore bounds happily into the house.
"Rory's having a baby!" She singsongs as Jess helps Rory to the couch.
"You know I'm fine right?" Rory asks raising an eyebrow at her husband
"Uh, yea..but I want you to take it easy tonight." He says nervously afraid to offend Rory.
Rory kisses him. "Thank you."
Jess smirks, "For what?"
"For being sweet." Rory smiles.
"Ewww I think I'm going throw up." Lorelai announces.
Jess turns back toward Lorelai, "Better run, bathroom's all the way upstairs."
Lorelai looks past Jess towards Rory, "Once again, I insist on the new husband.."
Rory giggles.
"Luke!" Lorelai whines as Luke comes into the house.
"No." He replies simply.
"But you don't even know what I was going to say."
"You want me to make you coffee, or food or whatever and you're not getting it." Luke replies pretending to be annoyed. "Rory on the other hand, I'll make her anything she wants." Luke smiles at Rory.
Rory smiles back, "Thanks Luke, but I'm good."
"You haven't eaten since before we made the snowman." Jess reminds her.
"I know I'm just not that hungry....going to the hospital really takes it out of a girl." Rory replies batting her eyes at Jess.
"How about I make you some soup?" Luke suggests.
"Ok!" Rory replies happily. "..And how about a grilled cheese sandwich to go with that soup?" Rory says grinning at Luke.
"Oh! An how about those oyster crackers, what's soup without the crackers?" Lorelai cuts in.
"I told you, you're not getting any." Luke replies a smile playing on his lips.
"Mean." Lorelai pouts. Luke exits the living room, Lorelai fast on his heels whining about crackers.
Jess waits until both their voice rise to there normal banter-level before speaking.
"So how you doing?" He says sweetly taking Rory's hand.
Rory sighs, "I told you I'm doing fine."
"I know that, but uh...."Jess runs his fingers through his hair, "Are you happy?"
Rory puts her hand on Jess' cheek and pushes him towards her, "Of course I'm happy. How about you, are you ok?"
"I'm fine, see I stopped crying." Jess smiles at Rory.
Rory giggles.
"Think about it though, a year from now we'll have a baby. You'll be carting around one of those preppy jogging strollers, and I'll be caring around extra "binkies"" Jess breaks into a deep laugh, unable to stifle the laughter at the image of him and Rory as preppy parents.
"We'll never be parents like that." Rory insures him. "
That's right, our kid's going to be cool, we'll make her listen to Joey Ramone, The bangles and The Who." Jess grins.
"And we'll read her Faulkner and Dickens." Rory adds.
"Yeah, "Pat The Bunny" can go to hell, "Oliver Twist" is the only bed time story she'll hear."
Rory laughs uncontrollably knowing that Jess is serious. Looking at Rory's convulsion of laughter Jess can no longer keep a straight face; he curls in close to her as a deep laugh escapes his lips.
Luke pokes his head out of the kitchen, "What the Hell is going on?!" He gives them a stern look. Rory and Jess look at each other and then at Luke and continue their laughing fit. Luke goes back into the kitchen, "Those two have lost it." He tells Lorelai.
"Aw let them have their fun, they're excited." Lorelai replies.
"I guess I shouldn't complain, at least its them making all the noise and not you." He smirks at Lorelai.
"Hey! My voice is a gift from God you should feel blessed to hear it everyday." Lorelai replies draping her arms around Luke's shoulders.
| "Oh I do, I feel blessed that I haven't gone deaf yet." Luke grins at her before he leans down and kisses her softly on the lips.
" I'm going be a grandma." Lorelai whispers.
"Yep...and I'm going to be a....great Uncle." Luke replies, sadness in his voice.
"Aw, Luke. Don't be upset." Lorelai relinquishing her hold on Luke. "You're going to be more than a great uncle to this kid."
Luke sighs, taking off his baseball cap. Lorelai takes a step back, knowing that the removal of the baseball cap is a sign of Luke's major disappointment.
"I know I am, I mean we live together for God sakes.....it's just I'm never going have the chance to be a grandfather.....God, I sound so stupid." Luke says bitterly.
"No, no you don't. Luke I understand."
"It's different for you." Luke replies.
"I know, but Luke, look at me.....do you think Rory was the only child I ever wanted
"I don't know I always thought you were happy it being just you two."
"Well, I was I just always thought that when I found the right guy I'd have another little Rory.....and now it's too late, I'll never be able to have another little Rory again." Lorelai grimaces.
"Yeah but you'll have this kid and Rory will probably name it Lorelai and then you'll have another little Rory."
"No she won't."
"Why not?"
"She told me the whole Lorelai the fourth thing was out, besides I hate to break it to you but this baby's gonna be a boy." Lorelai smiles at Luke. |
Forgetting the origins of the conversation Luke smiles at Lorelai, "What makes you so sure."
"I just know." Lorelai says firmly.
"Care to put some money on that?" Luke smirks at Lorelai.
"Oh! Do you know who you looked like just now!?" She exclaims.
"Don't you dare say it." Luke warns. "...Or there really will be no | | |soup for you." Luke replies holding the pot of soup over Lorelai's head.
"Fine!" Lorelai groans, "50 bucks."
"Deal." Luke replies putting the pot down.
"Hey Luke?" Rory calls, her breath short from laughing.
"Yea?"
"Remember when I said I wasn't that hungry....I lied." Rory replies happily.
"Soups coming." Luke says gruffly. Luke takes a bowl out of the cabinet and pours soup into it. "Be right back." He mumbles to Lorelai. "Don't touch anything while I'm gone."
Lorelai touches his arm tenderly as he turns away, "Luke, you know this kid is going to love you right, Jess loves you....and Rory, well to be honest you're the closest thing to a father she's had in her life. You've always been there for all of us Luke, you're a part of this family...you're going to be more than just the baby's great uncle." Lorelai says sweetly.
Luke nods to Lorelai, "Thanks."
"Anytime." Lorelai replies kissing him softly.
"Soup!!!" Rory moans in faux distress.
"Luke, I don't think she's going to last much longer." Jess calls sarcastically.
"Yea yea yea." Luke mumbles.
Rory sits up as Luke enters the living room with the soup, she takes the bowl from him and examines her dinner, "Hey, no oyster crackers?"
"I thought you said you weren't really hungry." Luke says gruffly.
"Well I wasn't but them when mom mentioned cracker.." |
"You all belong in an asylum." Luke barks.
"Mom!" Rory calls.
"Yeah babe?"
"Do they put crackers in your soup at the asylums?"
"Of course, what's soup with out oyster crackers?"
A/n Ok still an abrupt ending but the format should be better sorry for before, stupid word pad.
