They arrived at the hospital and Luke carried Lorelai inside while Rory parked the car. Lorelai and Luke were brought to an examining room and Rory waited in the waiting room. There were so many thoughts going through Lorelai's head that she could not think straight. Luke was a mess but he was still trying his best not to show Lorelai. He started to cry a few times but he wiped his tear before Lorelai noticed. They did not speak to each other until the doctor came in.
"Hi. My name is Doctor Sims. It says here that you are 26 weeks pregnant and are having pains in your side."
"Yes. My mom, she came over tonight unexpectedly. I hadn't told her I was pregnant and then she started yelling at me, and the pains started soon after that."
"Ok. I'm going to do some tests and when I'm done you will probably be able to go home."
The doctor did a blood test and he took a urine sample. He was gone for about thirty minutes. In that time Luke said nothing, but Lorelai could tell that he was hurting inside. She motioned for him to come over to her and she gave him a hug and then she kissed him. The doctor finally came back and Luke jumped up from where he was sitting with anticipation to find out if Lorelai and Laci were going to be ok.
"Good news! There's nothing wrong you or the baby!" Doctor Sims announced
"Then why am I in pain?" Lorelai asked.
"Well women usually start getting Braxton Hicks at twenty weeks, however some get it very painfully like you did. Braxton Hicks usually don't start getting painful until the last month of pregnancy, because the baby is so big and is pressing up against the mother's bladder. Your baby should be about two pounds this week but it's probably a little bit bigger than that. I can guarantee that this was caused by stress, so just try to take it easy."
"Wait, so what is Braxton Hicks?"
"It is a form of false contractions which usually occur in the middle of pregnancy."
"Oh. Does that mean I can go home?"
"Yes."
"Good. I hate hospitals." Luke finally said now that he had a chance to with out sounding greedy.
"I know baby. Let's go."
They walked out into the waiting room to find Rory still there. She was drinking a cup of coffee and she seemed really upset. When she saw Lorelai and Luke she jumped up and gave Lorelai a hug.
"Mom are you ok?"
"Yeah, apparently it was just Braxton something's."
"Hicks." Rory added.
They walked out of the hospital, got into Luke's truck, and drove home.
