A/N :So, I wrote half of a chapter, and then my computer crashed… But I rewrote it, so here's a new chapter… I want to get this baby stuff out of the way, I want to write about the kids when they're a bit older, so that's probably what I'm going to do… I hope you like this chapter…

CUT TO – Gilmore mansion – Friday night dinner

(LORELAI,LUKE,RORY,JESS,EMILY and RICHARD are sitting at the table, H

LORELAI: Could you pass me the peas please, mom?

EMILY: Here you go.

LORELAI: Thanks.

EMILY: Lorelai, are you all right? You look tired.

LORELAI: Well thanks!

EMILY: I didn't mean anything by it.

LORELAI: I know, I'm sorry, I'm just a little cranky.

EMILY: Is it work?

LORELAI: I'm still on maternity leave, it's Hannah who's causing these circles.

EMILY: But she's so quiet.

(LUKE grins)

EMILY: Did I say something funny Luke?

LUKE: Not at all, you're not the first person to make that comment…

LORELAI: And you really don't have a clue. (sighs)

RORY: Mom, come on, Hannah's like the most adorable baby ever.

LORELAI: Well, I can't blame you people, of course she's adorable to you, she's exhausted from all that adorable crying she does. (smiles)

RICHARD: Luke doesn't look tired at all.

LUKE: I've got the morning shift. Instead of five, I now just get up at four and I take Hannah to the diner so Lorelai can sleep a bit.

LORELAI: By the time it's his turn, she's already tired. I really don't remember it being like this with Rory, I mean, I remember getting up at night, but I managed to get a little more sleep than I did now.

EMILY: You've obviously forgotten a lot. I distinctly remember you being so tired that you just slept through her crying and I had to get up.

LORELAI: (frowning) I probably just forgot it with the years.

JESS: (to RORY) You know, for a minute I really thought they were gonna start an argument.

RORY: Me too.

(HANNAH makes fussing noises, LORELAI takes her out of the maxi-cosy)

LORELAI: Hey, what's wrong? (holds her up) That's not it. (gives the baby her finger) Are you hungry? (HANNAH starts sucking on the finger) Yes you are hungry! (takes a bottle out of the diaper bag and stands up) I'll be right back. (goes to kitchen)

RICHARD: So kids, how is Yale treating you?

RORY: Great, grandpa.

(JESS just nods)

RICHARD: So, Jess, did you finally find what you were looking for.

JESS: Well, I have to say that it's a lot more interesting than community college. But some things just stay the same, there are always people that don't have a clue what they are talking about.

RICHARD: (frowning) Are you talking about professors?

RORY: No, he's just talking about a fellow student of ours.

JESS: Yeah, he's just a little bit too conservative for me. We kind of had a bad start.

RICHARD: Not everyone can be your friend, certainly not at Yale. Enemies are good for the spirit, boy. Just keep them close.

JESS: Yeah, sure. (looks questioning to RORY)

(RORY shrugs)

LORELAI: (enters with HANNAH, feeding her a bottle) She's a true Gilmore, I can tell you that.

LUKE: I'm glad that's only milk she's drinking, she's not a full Gilmore girl yet.

LORELAI: Like I would give her coffee! I mean, when would I sleep?

EMILY: Lorelai, if you want, we could take her for a few days?

RICHARD: We could?

EMILY: We could.

LORELAI: Mom, are you sure? I mean, this is a baby, it needs constant care, you'd have to get up eight times in one night.

EMILY: Lorelai, I know what it is to take care of a baby. You weren't an angel yourself.

RICHARD: Wasn't she?

LORELAI: (smiles) Dad only remembers the good parts as well!

EMILY: No, he just slept right through it.

LORELAI: You seriously want to take her?

EMILY: Lorelai, she's my granddaughter, of course I'm serious.

LORELAI: Well, a weekend off for the two of us would be nice.

LUKE: It would be a change. Are you sure you're going to manage that long without her?

LORELAI: I'll do my best. But mom, if we are doing this, you have to promise me that there will be no Emma-scenarios, I do not want a baby with pierced ears, or weird clothes or anything like that.

EMILY: Why would I pierce her ears?

LORELAI: I'm glad you agree with me.

RORY: She's just watched too many episodes of Friends.

LUKE: A tv-show.

(EMILY nodds)

(LORELAI's phone rings, image shifts from Halliwell House to Gilmore mansion)

LORELAI: Excuse me for a minute (gives HANNAH with bottle to LUKE and leaves the room) Hello?

PIPER: Lorelai? (in panic)

LORELAI: Piper? Everything okay?

PIPER: No! I'm in labour, Leo doesn't answer his phone, I've already left him two messages and my sisters are still in San Fransisco. I've got two sleeping children upstairs and I really, really would like to get to the hospital!

LORELAI: Piper, honey, try to calm down. Can you still drive?

PIPER: No.

LORELAI: Okay, I'm still in Hartford, but I'll call Sookie to give you a lift

PIPER: Sookie's at that party!

LORELAI: Right, do you think that baby can stay in another half an hour or so?

PIPER: I think so.

LORELAI: Okay, I'm coming over.

PIPER: Thanks. (puts down phone)

CUT TO – Gilmore Mansion dining room

LORELAI: (putting on her coat and throws LUKE his) We have to go! I'm sorry we're gonna have to cut this dinner short. Piper's in labour and Leo's out of reach.

LUKE: What? (takes his coat)

LORELAI: (to LUKE) Could you take Hannah's things?

EMILY: She could stay here.

LORELAI: But we don't have enough stuff in there for her.

LUKE: Lorelai, you've got diapers for three days in that bag and milk for four.

LORELAI: Okay. (gives the baby a kiss) Be good tonight. Mommy will come to get you in the morning. Thanks mom.

EMILY: It's my pleasure.

LORELAI: See you guys later!

(LUKE and LORELAI leave)

CUT TO – Hospital room – forty minutes later

LUKE: (enters) Leo's on his way, his phone battery was empty. (goes back outside)

PIPER: I can't believe it!

LORELAI: Piper, relax, it's gonna be fine.

PIPER: But what if he doesn't get here in time?

LORELAI: He will get here in time.

PIPER: Oh my god!

LORELAI: What?

PIPER: I forgot to call my sisters! (takes phone next to her bed and dials a number)

(image shifts between hospital room and Halliwell Manor)

PHOEBE: Hello?

PIPER: Pheebs, it's me.

PHOEBE: Piper! How are you?

PIPER: I'm in labour and Leo's not here yet!

PHOEBE: You're not alone are you?

PIPER: No, Lorelai and Luke are here.

PHOEBE: I'll book the first plane to Hartford.

PIPER: I'm gonna hang up now, 'cause I feel a contraction coming.

PHOEBE: Good luck Piper!

PIPER: (drops phone and starts breathing fast) I hate this part!

LORELAI: Yeah, me too.

DOCTOR: (enters) So, how are we doing?

PIPER: They do talk in the we form.

LORELAI: I told you!

PIPER: You know, drugs would be very much appreciated!

DOCTOR: (examines PIPER) Well, Mrs.Halliwell, I'm afraid that you might be right.

PIPER: What? Is something wrong?

DOCTOR: No, it's just that you might be here for another eight hours or so?

PIPER: Eight hours?

DOCTOR: I'll send the anaesthetist.

LORELAI: Thank you.

(the DOCTOR goes away)

PIPER: (desperate) Eight hours.

LORELAI: Hey, you heard her, the anaesthetist is coming, once you've got that epidural, you won't feel a thing.

PIPER: Are you sure?

LORELAI: Well, I can't say I've ever had the luxury of giving birth with one, but from what I've heard, I'm quite right.

CUT TO – Hospital corridor

(LEO runs in, sees LUKE, who's watching over a sleeping WYATT and CHRIS)

LEO: Where is she? Did I miss anything?

LUKE: In there, Leo. You're on time, don't worry.

LEO: Thanks for taking care of them.

LUKE: Thank my wife.

CUT TO – Hospital corridor – ten hours later (6 a.m.)

(LORELAI is playing with WYATT and CHRIS on the floor, while drinking a cup of coffee, LUKE is sleeping on a chair)

LEO: (comes out of delivery room) It's a girl!

LORELAI: (hugs him) Congratulations!

LEO: Thanks. I can't believe it.

(both WYATT and CHRIS look at their father)

LORELAI: You should take them in to see her.

LEO: Do you want to see your new baby sister? (picks CHRIS up and takes WYATT's hand, to LORELAI) Could you maybe, come with us and take a picture?

LORELAI: Of course!

CUT TO – Hospital room

(PIPER, tired, is lying in her bed, holding the new baby, LEO is sitting next to her to one side and WYATT to the other, CHRIS is sitting on LEO's knee)

LORELAI: Smile! (takes a picture) Beautiful!

WYATT: Baby sister!

PIPER: Yes, that's your baby sister and can you say her name too?

WYATT: Pwue!

PIPER: (smiles) Yes. Prudence Melinda (tear rolls down her cheek) I wish Prue could see this.

LEO: I'm sure she can honey, I'm sure she can.
