A/N: Wow! I am sooo sorry! I hadn't realized how long it had been since I updated! I'm really sorry. I have a study hall this year so hopefully I will be able to write these chapters in that class. Thank you so much for all the reviews. I really appreciate them.

Lorelai woke up the next morning to the sound of Laci's cell phone. It was ringing on full blast and Lorelai didn't want it to wake Laci up, so she grabbed the phone and brought it into the kitchen. She answered the phone and it turned out to be Marissa, one of the girls from Laci's group. Lorelai told Marissa everything that had happened and they agreed that it would be good for Laci to go out. Marissa was going to pick Laci up at eleven to go to the mall and afterwards Marissa was going to join the Danes' at the latest town event. Lorelai made sure that she had Laci up and showered by eleven. Marissa came right on time and her and Laci left.

"Oh my God! I cannot wait for your town carnival tonight! I've never been to one of those things before! I can't even imagine what it's going to be like! The way your mom described it on the phone….wow! Did I mention I can't wait?" Marissa rambled as she and Laci walked through the mall.

"Yeah, I can't wait either." Laci faked a smile.

"I can't wait to meet Kirk! Is he everything your mom said he is?"

"Everything and more." Laci replied with sarcasm.

"Wow! This is going to be awesome!"

"Hey, do you mind if we sit down for awhile?" Laci asked.

"Oh, no! That's fine! There's a bench over there." Marissa pointed to a bench that was currently occupied by an elderly woman. "Come on! I'm sure she doesn't mind sharing with us!" Marissa started walking towards the bench but realized that Laci was no longer with her. "Laci, what's wrong?"

"That's…that's my grandma."

"Well, then I'm sure she wouldn't mind!"

"No, she's not a…I can't…we have…let's…we need to go!"

"Laci, what's going on?"

"Do you think she sees us?" Laci said while turning around.

"Um…I don't know!"

"Let's just go. Do you mind if I hold on to you. I'm feeling kinda weak."

"Sur…"

"Laci, Dear! How dare you stand there staring at your grandmother and then just walk away with out saying anything! The least you could do is acknowledge my presence!"

"Sorry grandma." Laci turned her attention down towards her shoes.

"So, who's your friend? I can see that she's pregnant too. Did you meet at a whore house?"

"Come on, let's go, Marissa!"

"No! She has no right to treat you or me like that!" Marissa turned her attention to Emily. "Excuse me! I don't know who the hell you think you are! What gives you the right to talk to us like that!" Marissa shouted.

"Young lady…"

"I'm not finished yet! Your granddaughter is not a whore! I have only known her for a day and I am well award of that fact! You on the other hand have known her for what, sixteen years? Oh, and for your information….I was raped!" Marissa cooled down and looked over at Laci. "We can go now."

The two girls left both the mall and a very shocked Emily Gilmore. Once they were in the car and heading home, Laci felt severe pain in her back, but she was just blaming it on walking too much.

"Do you wanna stop and get some lunch before we go to your house?" Marissa asked.

"Mmmmm….sure."

"Where do you want to go? I'm personally in the mood for Mexican."

"Mexican is fine."

"Okay. Is that whole thing with your grandma bothering you? I mean you've been really quiet since we left the mall. Oh, and by the way….I was never raped."

"My back just hurts. It's not a big deal."

Just as Laci was saying that, she felt a strong pain in her abdomen. He held her breath and looked at the time so she could keep track of the pains.

"Hey Laci, we're here. Are you sure that you're okay? You don't look so hot."

"Oh, yeah! I'm fine. I just need to sit for another minute. I'll meet you inside."

"Okay."

The pain had finally ended so Laci looked at the time once more. The pain had lasted for a total of three minutes. Laci waddled her way inside and joined Marissa at the table.

"So, your grandma's a total bitch. No offense or anything."

"Believe me, none taken. So what are you going to get?" Laci asked.

"Um…I think the extra spicy casada! I love spicy foods! What are you going to get?"

"Ah…probably just a taco. Can you order for me? I'm gonna head to the bathroom."

"Sure."

While Laci was in the bathroom the pains in her abdomen came back. She leaned her body against the counter for support and did her Lamaze breathing. This time the pain only lasted a minute or two. Once the pain was gone, she went back to the table.

"Do you know what time it is?" Laci asked Marissa.

"1:35, why?"

"Oh, I'm just wondering. So you would say that we've been here for about fifth-teen minutes?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Oh, no reason."

"You're acting really strange. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes! I guess I'm just a little upset about my grandma and a little exited about the carnival." Laci lied.

"So am I! Did I tell you how excited I am? I can't wait! I've never been to one of these things before! My town is not like that at all! I mean you guys know everyone and everyone knows you! Oh, and Kirk! I can't wait to meet him! Just hearing his name makes me laugh! This is going to be SO much fun!" Marissa rambled once again.

"It will be! I can't wait either!" Laci faked yet another smile.

Laci's pains came back after fifth-teen minutes, and once they got the food the pains started coming every ten minutes. Laci knew that she was in labor; she just didn't want to take Marissa's excitement away. In some ways Laci was jealous of Marissa, because her baby's daddy is marrying her. But in other ways, Laci felt really bad for her. Marissa didn't even know her own neighbors! Laci was in no way going to ruin Marissa's first Stars Hollow event! Landon could wait until ten! That was only seven hours away, he could wait, right?

By the time the girls got to Laci's house it was three o'clock and she was exhausted! She excused herself from Marissa and went into her room to take a nap. Laci didn't even get a full hour of consecutive sleep. She kept getting contractions every ten minutes or so. Although they were the same length apart as they had been before, they were getting more and more painful. At six o'clock Lorelai knocked on Laci's door and told her it was time to go.

It only took Laci five minutes to get ready because she still wasn't feeling to great and the contractions were getting worse each time. Lorelai insisted that they walked because it wouldn't be a complete town event unless they walked there, but Laci protested by saying that her back was hurting. It wasn't a complete lie but it was still a lie. Luke volunteered to take Laci over in the truck, and Laci gratefully accepted. On the way out to the truck Laci felt another contraction coming so she grabbed on to the couch for support. Of course Luke immediately saw what she was doing and began questioning her.

"Laci? Are you going into labor? Are you in labor?"

"Umm…no. I just have really bad Braxton hicks. I've been getting them for the past month or so. They come and go as they please." Laci lied.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked with obvious concern in his voice.

"Yes. If I wasn't I would tell you."

Laci stood up straight once the contraction had ended and started to walk outside. Luke still didn't know whether to believe Laci or not, but he just followed along with what she was doing.

When they got to the carnival Luke had to help Laci out of the truck. She immediately spotted a bench and sat down on it. Luke saw this and went over to sit with his daughter. Laci looked up at Luke with tears in her eyes and buried her face in his chest. Luke didn't know what to do about this so he held his daughter close to him and started to look around the town square for Lorelai and Marissa.

When Luke spotted Lorelai he called out to her and she came running his way. She took one look at Laci and made Luke get up from his spot. Lorelai sat down next to Laci and began holding her the same way that Luke had.

"Lace, babe. What's wrong?"

"I'm…I'm in…um…I'm in labor."

"Are you having contractions?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes. I've been having them all day. They started this morning and they kept getting worse as the day went on and now they're really bad. Oww!"

"How far apart are they?"

"8 minutes. Is he going to alright, mom? I'm not due for another eight weeks. What if something happens to him?"

"Laci, nothing is going to happen to him. He will be alright! I promise you, but now we have to get you to a hospital. Okay?"

"Yeh. What about Marissa?"

"Well Marissa can come if she wants, but she probably would like to go home, right Marissa?"

"Yea. I really should be getting home. Good luck with everything. Call me and tell me everything, okay?" Marissa asked.

"Yea, okay."

"People! What is this big scene over here? We are supposed to be having a carnival! We paid a lot of money for these rides!" Kirk came over and looked from Lorelai to Luke to Laci. "Lorelai! Your impregnated daughter is making a scene! Please get her out of here!"

"Kirk you're not Taylor and you will never be Taylor. Get over it! Now if you will excuse us, we have a baby coming and we need to get to the hospital!" Lorelai and Luke helped Laci through all the crowds and into the truck.

Two hours and forty minutes later Landon Joseph Danes came into the world. Laci was exhausted from all the pushing but she was relieved to hear her baby cry. The doctor handed him to a nurse and ushered her to take him into another room. Laci began to cry and looked at her mother for an answer but Lorelai didn't know what was going on. The doctor finished cleaning Laci up and then went out to check on Landon. He came back into the room twenty minutes later, sat down adjacent to Laci's bed, and began talking.
