A/n There is some D/L action in this chapter, I should have mentioned last
chapter that Dave is still working his Job at the nursery school but his
band has been getting a lot of local gigs lately, Lane plays drums for them
on the weekends when she's not working. Anyway on with the show.
Next Weekend: Saturday
"Oh my God, is that him?" Lorelai asks, her hand firmly on Rory's stomach.
"Yep, he's been going at it all week."
"Luke come here you got to feel this!" Lorelai screeches.
Luke turns around, giving Rory and uneasy glance, "No it's ok."
"Come on Luke it's not a big deal."
"Yeah Luke stop being embarrassed, this is a miracle." Lorelai says in a condescending voice.
Rory giggles.
Luke sighs, "Fine."
He walks over to where Lorelai and Rory are sprawled out on the couch.
Rory takes his hand and places it on her stomach.
The muscles in Luke's neck tighten as the baby kicks again, "Whoa."
Rory nods happily.
"And, uh that doesn't bother you?"
"Not really, it tickles more than anything." Rory replies.
Luke smiles, "And it doesn't bother you when people....."
"Not really, I mean not with you guys you're the grandparents...although Mrs. Schneider down the hall touched me yesterday without even asking that was kind of weird." Rory wrinkles her nose.
Jess enters the living room.
"He's kicking again!" Rory announces.
Jess smiles.
"So how's daddy doing?" Lorelai asks.
"He's fine, beat....putting up shelves is hard work."
"Shelves? Where are you putting up shelves?"
"Still haven't gotten them up?" Rory asks.
"the directions are in Chinese so far I've gotten the base up, but after that I don't know what to do." Jess sighs.
"Where are the shelves going?" Lorelai asks again.
"Baby's room." Jess and Rory answer together.
"Did you finish painting it?"
"Last week." Rory replies.
"Here, why don't I take a look at it?" Luke suggests.
"Thanks." Jess replies leading Luke towards the nursery.
Lorelai waits for them to leave before speaking, "So how you doing sweets?"
"Well besides the fact that I'm huge...great." Rory plasters on a smile.
Lorelai laughs, "From what Jess told me you're not even half Sherri's size."
Rory's eyes go wide, "Forget about it, she can't even get off the couch by herself.....I'm just afraid that's going to be me in two months....I don't want to be a beached whale.
"You won't be.....haha so that tiny lady actually got fat this time."
"Yeah, she's really pissed, Jess and I are going back up to see them in like 3 weeks.."
"Why?"
"Well she wanted me to be there in June you know so I could be there for the birth, but Jess told her that he didn't want me traveling that far so close to my due date."
"Sweetie that'll be like 2 ½ months before your due date."
"I know, but whatever it worked. So she made us promise we'd go up and see her before then....God I'm dreading it."
"Oh I want to come!" Lorelai exclaims.
"Mom, I'm not doing that again did you totally block out what happened in December."
"Come on, I was totally unprepared for that one, besides I'm on much better terms with your father now."
"What since when?"
"Well, after he came to see you guys he called and we talked it out, how we want to be civil grandparents...nothing like our parents were to each other, so I think it'll be good for us all to get together, you know one last time before you have this kid."
"I don't know..."
"Come on I'll call him right now." Lorelai says picking up the phone.
"Mom no.." But Rory's plea is futile, Lorelai dials and on the second ring Chris picks up.
*10 minutes later:
"So it's settled May 6th, we go up there for lunch....don't look at me like that, I promise I'll behave."
Rory sighs, "Fine but you get to tell Luke and Jess."
Lorelai grins, "Oh boys!"
Luke and Jess pop their heads out of the nursery.
"3 weeks, the 4 of us are going to see Chris.
Luke grunts, Jess mumbles.
"Happy faces!"
Rory rolls her eyes, causing Jess to laugh.
Luke pulls Jess back into the nursery without another word.
"See they're excited."
*That night: Lane and Dave's apartment.
"Lane? I'm home." Dave announces.
"Hey," Lane yawns. "How was the show?"
"Nothing big, about 200 people showed but we played great, We did an acoustic version of "Toasted Hoodie." They seemed to like it...and don't give me that yes we gave credit to the writer," Dave roles his eyes.
"Sorry I missed it."
"It's ok." Dave says sweetly wrapping his arms around Lane, "Feeling any better?"
"Yeah, I was just up so late working on that paper...I swear music theory is going to kill me, I took some Nyquil and passed out for three hours, still feeling groggy though."
"Well I am yours for the entire evening anything you want or need I will take care of."
"Come lay with me."
"I can do that." Dave grins.
Lane takes his hand and leads him to the couch.
*5 minutes later: They are snuggled comfortably on the couch.
"Missed you today, Sam is nowhere close to being as good a drummer as you."
"You're legally bound to say that." Lane says waving her wedding ring past Dave's face.
Dave takes her hand, lacing it with his, "Yeah but I mean it."
Lane sighs, resting her head on Dave's chest.
"So, you talk to Rory today?"
Lane nods.
"How's she doing?"
"Good, some how she got roped into taking Lorelai up to see Chris in 3 weeks...so now all four of them are going."
"They're seriously turning into a sitcom."
Lane laughs.
"So Lorelai and Luke are back for the weekend?"
"No, they just came up for the day."
Dave nods.
Lane yawns, "What time is it?"
"11."
"I need to go to bed, I'm exhausted."
"Me too." Dave yawns.
*3 Hours later: Dave is enthralled in a dream.
***********************************Dream*******************************
*Dave enters their apartment, Rory and Jess are sitting on the couch, Jess is bouncing a small child on his knee. Lorelai is sitting at the kitchen table talking to Dave's mom:
"It's exciting, It's our first you know...and Lane is such a lovely girl."
"Rory's ecstatic, finally little Bert will have someone to play with."
"Yes, it's great that they'll be so close in age."
Dave looks on bewildered; no one seems to notice he's there.
Dave moves towards the couch, where Rory and Jess are having an argument.
"Jess, he needs to eat he's hungry."
"Ror we just fed him like an hour ago, he's going to get fat."
"He's 5 months old, he's supposed to eat his much."
Jess groans, "Fine, take him."
"Hey Guys." Dave speaks up, trying to lighten the mood..he always did hate when they fought."
"Oh hey man, didn't even here you come in." Jess says looking up at him.
"Dave hey!" Rory replies standing up to hug him. "so today was the last day of work how does it feel?"
"L-last day?"
"Yeah.....Lane said you took the next three weeks off to stay home and help out." Rory replies warily.
"Oh, r-right I did, hey where is Lane?"
"Inside, she said she needed to lie down for a while." Rory says lowering her voice.
Dave nods, "Excuse me."
Cautiously he enters the bedroom, the room is musty and something is very off about it.
"Lane honey?"
"Dave, is that you?"
"Uh huh."
"Come lay down with me?"
"Sure, um how are you feeling?" Dave asks as he lays down next to Lane."
"Ok." Lane replies turning over.
Suddenly the room becomes brighter.
"I just need to get out of there....too many people." Lane replies massaging her stomach. "Only two more weeks." She mutters smiling at Dave, taking his hand and placing it on her stomach.
Dave looks down at his hand that is strategically placed on Lane's protruding stomach.
Dave's eyes go wide, "Y-you're pregnant!"
"That's right," Lane says sweetly. "And it's all your fault!"
Dave looks up horrified as Lane turns into Mrs. Kim.
"You break my daughter!"
Dave screams!!
*********************Dream Ends*************************************
Dave falls out of bed, screaming.
"Dave?!" Lane yells leaning over the bed to help him up.
"Stay away from me, I didn't break anything I swear!"
"Dave, what the hell is going on?" Lane says turning the light on.
Dave sits up on the floor, "Oh my God Lane it's you, tell me it's really you."
"Ok.....Dave what's the matter?" Lane asks holding her hand out to Dave.
Dave stands up, taking a sit on the edge of the bed, "I just had the worst nightmare...everyone was there....and you, you were pregnant."
Lane looks at him sadly, "And that makes it a nightmare."
Dave takes a deep breath, "No, no but I was laying here with you, and you turned into your mom."
Lane shutters, "And my mom was pregnant?"
"No....but she was yelling at me for breaking you."
Lane laughs out loud, "Oh my."
Dave nods his head energetically.
Lane wraps her arms around his neck.
Dave pulls away, "Look please don't touch me right now."
"Um, ok......" Lane says letting go Dave.
"I'm sorry I just can't, her face she was going to kill me."
Lane laughs again, "It was just a dream."
Dave shakes his head, "Noooo this was too realistic, this dream was warning me."
Lane sits back on her heals, "Wow this really freaked you out."
"Hey, how long ago did you get your..." Dave trails off looking at Lane uncomfortably.
"Two weeks ago.."
Dave sighs, "Ok, so we're ok then."
"Are you saying you don't want to have a baby anymore, because of a stupid dream?"
"No, no sweetie." Dave says turning towards Lane. "I'm just a little freaked out about picturing myself in bed with your mother.."
"Ok good, because you do realize that we have had sex since then."
Dave grimaces.
Lane sighs, "Come on."
"Where?"
"The bathroom, I have a test in the cabinet.....you're not going to get any sleep until this thing is settled, and we have church in the morning, I need to sleep."
"Wait, so you keeps those things in the cabinet?"
"See I don't know about you, but I've been so hopeful about this whole thing, I thought we should be prepared just in case...."
"So you've had these things in that cabinet for a while now?"
Lane nods.
"Have you done one before?"
Lane nods.
"When?"
"About two and a half weeks ago, Remember I was like 3 days late."
Dave grimaces.
Lane gives him a cross look, "Enough with that already, if you're really that freaked out about this, maybe you should leave."
"No, no." Dave says touching Lane's arm. "I'm sorry, I will be ecstatic if this thing is positive, I just need to reiterate..."In my dream you turned into your mother.""
Lane grins.
"Stop it it's not funny!"
*15 grueling moments later.
Lane is grasping Dave's hand.
"I can't look, what color is it?" Lane shrieks.
"It's blue......what does that mean?"
"It-It means we're pregnant."
A/n Abrupt ending again, oh well. Sorry if the last part was a bit much I just wanted to get the imminent over with. I don't really think Dave and Lane are going to play much more of a big role in the story, they'll just be in the background., I just wanted to work on them some because I've kind of neglected them recently. Anyway time will be speeding by in the next chapter, I'd probably say there will be 4-5 more chapters. But don't worry under the suggestion of a recent reviewer, I think I'm going to do a prequel of Rory and Jess' trip to Maryland and their early courtship. So look out for that, that probably won't be started until February. Thanks again for reading please review.
Next Weekend: Saturday
