pertaining to Gilmore Girls or the WB. If I did, you wouldn't be reading

Rory took a deep breath and opened the door. Dean was standing there, staring at the ground nervously.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey, come in." Rory said. He followed her in and shut the door behind him.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah." She said. "Mom!" She called up the stairs. "We're leaving!"
"OK, honey, good luck!" Called Lorelai. Rory and Dean walked out the door to Dean's car. They got in and drove in silence to the doctor's office. When they arrived, they went into the waiting room. After 15 minutes, Rory heard her name.
"Gilmore? Rory Gilmore?" Asked a nurse from the door. Rory got up and walked over. "Right this way, down the hall." She said. Rory and Dean went into the room the nurse showed them. "Just get up on here." She said, patting the paper covered bed. Rory did as she was told. "I'm just going to start with a few questions. How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good." Rory said. "The only thing bothering me is how sore I am all the time!"
"That's common with pregnant women." The nurse told her. Rory nodded. "I have down that today you would like an ultrasound?"
"Yes." Rory said.
"OK, please lie down and lift up your shirt. She did so, revealing her larger than life stomach. The nurse spread some cold goop onto her stomach and peered at the ultrasound screen.
"Right here is the head." The nurse said, "And here and the arms, and hands. Here's the stomach, legs, and feet."
"Wow!" Said Rory. Seeing her baby always excited her.
"Would you like to know the sex?" Rory took a deep breath, trying to get her nervousness to subside.
"Yes." She said. She looked at Dean and took his hand for support. He looked as nervous as she did.
"OK, you'll be having a little girl!" The nurse said cheerfully.
"A girl? That's awesome!" Dean said, finally breaking out of his silent shell.
"I know! A baby girl." Rory said contentedly. After the appointment was over, Dean dropped Rory off at her house before driving home to his wife. Rory was practically ambushed by her mother when she entered the house.
"So?" Lorelai asked in anticipation.
"Drum roll please." Rory said. Lorelai tapped on the wall next to her.
"It's a girl!" Rory cried. Lorelai took her daughter in her arms.
"Honey!" She said. "I'm so happy for you." Rory gave her mother the eye.
"You're happy your 16 year old daughter is having a baby girl?" She asked.
"Well, I'm not thrilled with the 16 year old part, but I love the baby girl part!" She said. A tear slid down Lorelai's cheek.
"What?" Rory asked.
"It's just, you're turning out like me. 16, pregnant, baby girl..." Rory nodded.
"So, what are you going to name her?" Lorelai asked.
"Well, Dean and I discussed it in the car...and I think we have our pick."
"Tell!" Lorelai prompted.
"Well, as much as I wanted to name her Lorelai after you and myself, Dean said that would be too much."
"Dumb boy." Lorelai said.
"I know!" Rory said with a laugh. "We're thinking Natalie."
"Natalie!" Lorelai cried. "That's so beautiful."
"We thought so. Natalie Lane." Rory said.
"Ahh. Had to get the best friend in there, did we?"
"Yes, we did, thank you." The women laughed. Lorelai reached forward and placed her hand on Rory's round stomach.
"Hi Natalie, this is grandma." Lorelai stopped. "Grandma? That sounds so old!"
"I think we need to have a fun name for you. No Grandma buisness." Said Rory.
"How about...G Dog?" Lorelai suggested.
"Um, NO."
"The Lor-en-ator?"
"I think not! Something simple!" Rory cried.
"None of this Nana stuff" Lorelai warned.
"Nana..." Rory trailed off. "It has a nice ring to it.
"Hi, I'm Nana." Lorelai tested. "Ya know, on second thought...
"Nana it is!" Rory said. Lorelai smiled and touched Rory's stomach again.
"As I was saying, Hi Natalie, this is Nana...."
