PART 17
"Hey" he said placing a loving kiss on her smiling lips and sitting next to her on the couch "how was your day?"
"I'm tired... oh, Kyle called, he really liked the chapters I sent him he said they need some work though so he's gonna come next week to work on them" she turned the T.V off and took his hand in hers
"That's great... is Lorelai here?" he asked noticing her purse on the sofa
"Yeah, she's in the bathroom"
"Oh man..." he sighed "Jess is on his way..."
"Oh, boy..."
"Yeah, my thoughts exactly... I can't believe that after so long they still can't be around each other..."
"Who can't be around each other?" Lorelai asked coming into the living room smiling at him snatching his cap from his head
"Hey..." he said "give it back"
"So who can't be around each other Lucas?"
"Give it and I'll tell you before you see for your self and get a stroke..."
"You've got hat hair..." she laughed
"Fine, get a stroke, see if I care..."
"Come in" Luke called, smiling at Lorelai, to the nock on the door
She turned to look at who's at the door and her smile vanished "here's your cap, butch..." she tossed it to him
"Thank you... come on in jess, have a sit"
"Hey Rory, I got you that book you asked for..." he said handing it to her
"Thanks jess, so how was your day?"
"The usual..."
"What's with that girl I saw you with today?" Luke asked
"Nothing... just a friend... so any one wants a drink?"
"Yeah, get me a beer will you..."
"Rory?" he asked
"Just some water... thanks"
He started walking to the kitchen "beer would be fine, thanks..." Lorelai called after him and added "Luke I know he's all grown up but at least try to work on his manners..."
"My manners are just fine..." he said handing her the beer
"What a charming personality you got there..."
"Aww..." Rory let out suddenly
"What's wrong baby?" Lorelai jumped along with Luke
"I think its coming, I've had them all day but far apart, but now it hurts more... aww..."
"Why didn't you tell me Rory...?" Luke asked concerned
"I didn't think it was serious... I mean there are still 2 weeks before she's suppose to come... aww..."
"Ok pack a bag we're going to the hospital..." he ordered Lorelai and she ran to their bedroom to pack a bag
"Ok jess, I know I don't ask a lot but please try to be mature and drive Lorelai to the hospital, we gotta go now" Luke said while helping Rory walk to the door
Jess nodded with a concerned face following Rory with his eyes
"Jess, snap out of it... could you do that for me?"
"Yes, what am I a baby, go, we'll get there"
"Thanks Jess" and they were out the door
A few minutes later Lorelai came out of Rory's bedroom "ok, I'm ready..." she said and when she noticed only Jess standing there she asked "where are they?" with a panicked face
"Come on, I'll take you to the hospital..."
"Jess?" she looked weak, scared for Rory, he could tell by the look in her eyes
"She's gonna be fine, come on..." and they were out the door
40 minutes later, they entered the hospital and after asking in the reception they headed to Rory's room.
"Mom" Rory exclaimed
"I'm here, baby" she came to her bed side, Luke was standing on the other side of the bed holding her hand "how are you doing sweetie?"
"It hurts mom, I can't believe it's not even the worst pain"
"You'll be fine sweetie..."
"And I also can't believe I put you through this..."
"Don't worry honey, the minute you see little Jane all the pain is forgotten, vanished, like it was never there, trust me..."
"I hope so"
"So what did the doctors say?" she asked Luke
"He said that she should stay here, it could take a while but it can also be now, it depends... that's why they need her here"
"Ok... so I brought you some cloths, and... wait are you hungry?"
"No, I can't eat... aww..."
"Where's Jess?" Luke asked Lorelai
"Outside"
"Was he nice to you?"
"Please, nice is a word he's not familiar with... he was tolerable"
"That's good, I guess"
"Aww" Rory screamed "it's just getting worse..."
"Ok, I'm getting the doctor"
"Mom... I think my water just broke..."
"I'm defiantly getting the doctor now"
"How is she doing?" Jess jumped the minute Lorelai was out the door
"I think she's in labor..."
"Oh jeez... I need a cigarette..." they started walking
"I gotta find the doctor, do something useful and get me coffee after you smoke... will you?"
"Sure"
"Thanks... I need to find a doctor?" she said to the secretary "I think my daughter is in labor..."
"I'll be back in a while" he said brushing his hand against her arm
"Jess... just go"
"What's her name ma'am?"
"Rory Gilmore... ahh Rory Gilmore Danes ..."
"Ok, we'll send some one in a minute"
"Thank you"
She walked back to Rory's room taking out her cell phone and dialed
"Mom, we're in the hospital... yes... I can't talk much, just get here, we're in room 315... I thing she's going to, soon... ok bye..."
She walked inside and stood next to aching Rory
"Your grandma's on the way, they both are"
"Good, that's good... aww... you wanna tell me you were in so much pain and you forgave me?"
"Honey, stop warring about that, its going to be fine"
"Hi, every one, I understand you're the mother, I'm Doctor Harris"
"Hey doc"
"So how does it look?" he asked smiling at Rory
"My water broke..."
"Ok, I'll send some nurses to get you ready"
"Thanks doc... aww..."
"Hey" they heard Jess's voice and all 3 looked at him standing at the door "here" he handed Lorelai her coffee "any one want something? Luke? Rory?" he asked them
"Ahh, no... I'm still in shock you got Lorelai coffee... maybe you shouldn't drink it Lorelai..." Luke told her smiling
"I think its safe... thanks Jess, but it doesn't mean we're friends now..."
"I'll be outside" he said and walked out
"Ok, Rory..." the nurses came "we're gonna move you now"
"Ok"
"How are you holding up?" she asked Luke when they followed Rory's bed
"I'm ok, I mean I have to be... right? For Rory?"
"Right, but its ok, you know... if you can't be in there with her, she'll understand..."
"I know, but I want to... I mean you know she had all those doubts after the wedding, that I was marring her because of the baby, and I don't want her to feel that way, I wanna be there for her, always... you know...?"
"She could never do better then you, Luke..."
"Luke... mom..." Rory called
"We're right behind you honey..."
(A.N: listen, I don't want to write the whole push, push, breathe scene... so I'll just cut right to where the nurse places little Jane in Rory's arms)
Rory started crying to the sound of the baby's cry, she was tired, exhausted actually, Luke was on the verge of tears and passing out but kept himself standing and looking strong for his poor aching wife
"Here you go mommy" the nurse said to Rory while placing the tiny little creature in her arms after cleaning her and wrapping her in a little baby robe
"Oh, my God... look at her Luke, she's so tiny... hi there little Jane... I'm your mommy..."
"She's perfect..." was all Luke could say in his chocked voice, about to burst into tears
"Yes she is honey" Lorelai said crying and laughing
"Mom you were so right... it was worth it... Luke, do you want to hold her?"
"Oh..." he panicked "I don't... I've never..." he was babbling now
"Oh, jeez... snap out of it, here, I'll help you" Lorelai said and walked to his side, she picked Jane gently "now give me your hands" she smiled and placed Jane in his arms "now watch out for her head... yeah like that"
"See, you're already doing great..." Rory encouraged him
"I can't believe how light she is..." he said enchanted with every little expression and sound she made "and look at these tiny little fingers..."
Lorelai stood next to him, one hand on his back and the other on the baby, gently adjusting her clothing "hey there pretty girl, this is your daddy... he's not much of a talker but you'll get use to it..."
"Mom..." Rory smiled
"What? I'm just preparing her..." she answered Rory and asked Luke to hold the baby "hey, it's me again..." she said to Jane "I'm your grandma... boy, are you gonna love me... I'm the coolest grandma in the whole world..." she looked up at their mocking faces and added "don't mind them Jane, they are just jealous that I'm cool and they aren't... we're gonna have so much fun you and me..."
After a few moments she put Jane in Rory's arms and kissed her forehead
"hello, Jane Danes... this is mommy..." Rory looked at her daughter
"I was thinking... Jane Lorelai..." Luke said suddenly
"Luke... I thought you said no Lorelai..."
"You did?" Lorelai jumped "I can't believe you..."
"I changed my mind, besides it's just a middle name, every one will call her Jane..."
"I love you" Rory said looking deeply into his eyes welcoming him for a long kiss
"I love you too"
"Jess, look at your little cousin..." Luke said when Jess walked in
"Congratulations, Rory, Luke..."
"Ok Rory, we're ready to move you now" the nurse said
"Ok" they all said
Emily and Richard were with Rory while Luke went outside for air followed by Lorelai
"Hey there"
"Lorelai... jeez, don't sneak up on me like that..."
"Sorry... so how are you doing?" she said rubbing his back
"Fine... I just needed a few minutes..."
"Take your time, it doesn't seem like Emily is going to leave soon"
"Yeah..."
"So, finely a father ha... how does it feel?"
"Weird..."
"I know what you mean..."
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm good... happy to be a grandma..."
"But..." he searched for her eyes
"No buts, I'm happy..." she smiled at him
"I'm glad you are"
"Luke?" she said after a long silent both of them staring at nothing
"Ha?" he answered
"I'm really happy for you..."
"I know you are"
"You deserve it, you're a good man"
"Thanks, crazy lady"
"You haven't called me that in ages..."
"Yeah..."
"Feels good to hearing it though..."
"Feels good saying it"
She turned to face him and they hugged, for a while, they stood there holding each other
"How about we go inside?" she offered
"Yeah ok" he said pulling away
She kissed him on the cheek and said "congratulations daddy"
"There's only one person in this world that has permeation to call me that and its not you..."
"But..."
"Don't!" he cut her off
"I..." she tried again
"I said don't" he pointed his finger to her
"Fine" she gave up with a pout but added really quickly "daddy"
"No hope..." he said throwing his hands in the air hopeless, as the went inside
Luke sat on a chair with Jane sleeping in his arms when Lorelai walked in after saying goodbye to her parents, Rory was asleep
"Hey, I'm gonna go, I'll come back in the morning ok?"
"Yeah sure, jess driving you?"
"Yeah"
"Ok good"
"Night"
"Night"
She left and he just sat there looking at his girls sleeping peacefully, listening to their breathing fascinated with his daughter
"Hey you" Rory said opening her eyes
"Hey... your mom just left"
"Come closer" she asked and moved to make room for him on the bed
He put Jane in Rory's arms and climbed next to her, his one hand slid under her head the other on her stomach
"I'm happy Luke"
He kissed the top of her head and caressed the baby gently
"I never thought you could fall in love in seconds... how can I love some one I just saw for the first time...?"
"I never thought so too but mom always told me that this would happen..."
"I'm happy too Rory... very much..."
"I love you"
"I love you"
THE END
This is it.
Hope you liked it.
I just wanted to say that I couldn't have done this if it wasn't for your help.
So thank you for reading, and for every review you wrote.
See you in NOT A KID ANYMORE.
I'm working on my first fic, the one that almost no one reviewed, I'm changing some stuff and basically trying to make it better. It's just an idea I had in my head one night and decided to write it, but it wasn't as good as it should've been so I'm working on it.
Thanks again
