(A/N: This is my first fan fic. I hope you like it!!!)

"Just one more push!" said the doctor.

"I AM pushing!!! Oh God, when will this be over?!?"

"Come on Lorelai, you can do this."

"Oh, sure, you can say that, but who's the one in pain here?!?"

"You're almost there...just about..."

And that is when Lorelai first heard her daughter's voice. She couldn't believe it. She had actually had a baby...a real LIVE baby. That's when she realized she hadn't decided on a name yet, so when the nurse asked her, she didn't know what to say.

"What is the name of this lovely new daughter of yours, dear?" the sugar sweet nurse questioned.

"Um..."she thought for a moment, when she heard her mother's voice coming towards the room.

"You mean you didn't choose a name for the baby yet?" The nurse asked in disbelief.

"Well of course, her name will be Lorelai," Emily intruded.

"But mom..."

"Lorelai is a family name, and a family name it will remain, no buts about it!" Emily said snobbishly. Lorelai was so relieved that the pain was over that she didn't even care about the name at this point.

"Fine, Lorelai it is," she said, "But she is going by Rory."

"As you wish, as long as the name is on the birth certificate." The nurse wrote the name down and turned to leave.

"Wait," Lorelai called out. "When will I get to see my baby?"

"Shortly doll-face, I'll come in and tell you when you can"

A short while later, Lorelai and Chris were standing together, looking at their new child in wonder and silence.

"She's great," said Chris, breaking the silence.

"She's perfect," Lorelai corrected him.

"I guess we should get married now," Chris said, trying to sound surer than he felt.

Lorelai paused for a moment and then replied,

"We'll talk about that later. Right now I just want to enjoy what we have...what we've made," her voice drifted off.
