Chapter 20- The Moment Where Nothing Is Quite As Important
"I swear to God, if that boy wasn't in a coma right now, I might personally put him in a coma!" Rory muttered as another contraction ended.
"This baby is as stubborn as a mule. You've been at it forever," Sookie agreed, and Rory glared. "Sorry hun."
"I've been stuck at eight centimeters for like a half hour now. It's not fair," Rory pouted.
"You're right hun, it's not fair," Lorelai agreed.
"When is the doctor coming? I would really like to push this thing out soon," Rory asked.
"He said he'd be back at 11, so soon," Lane said happily.
"Well, he better, that no good rotten-"
"Hey Dr. Bishop," Lorelai greeted.
"Hello ladies, let's get a look at Rory now, shall we?" Dr. Bishop smiled. He looked, and smiled "Congratulations Rory, you can start pushing. I'll go get everything ready in the delivery room and be back soon to wheel you over." Dr. Bishop walked out.
"It's coming out!" Paris exclaimed, and everyone looked at her oddly. "I don't enjoy childbirth watching."
"You're pre-med," the rest of the room replied.
"Why do I always get that thrown at me?" Paris mumbled.
"Ok, so I suggest the rest of you leave, 'cause Mom's going in with me. Tell Bella I love her," Rory told them. They all hugged Rory goodbye and left.
Lorelai smiled at Rory. "My baby's having a baby." She really couldn't believe it. She remembered being in the exact same position as Rory, except all the people she loved weren't in the waiting room. In fact, at that time, there were very few people she could say she truly loved them and was loved by them in return.
"I know, my mommy's going to be a grandmommy," Rory teased.
"Don't be cruel to your mommy. You wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for me being in that position many moons ago," Lorelai glared.
"Gee, thanks for giving me the option of childbirth," Rory replied sarcastically.
"Actually that was your dad's fault," Lorelai corrected.
"Oh like that matters now," Rory scoffed.
"Hey, does he even know you're-"
"No," Rory cut her off.
"Ok," Lorelai nodded. She got the fact that Rory didn't want to talk about it.
"Are we ready?" Dr. Bishop asked as he walked in.
"Yes we are," Lorelai agreed.
"Great, now Lorelai, go with Jacque, and he'll get your gown and gloves to wear and meet us in Delivery Room 5," Dr. Bishop told Lorelai. She nodded and walked off with the nurse. "Now Rory, let's get you on this bed." Rory got on the bed and lied down and almost immediately got a contraction right then and there. She breathed through it as he wheeled her through the hallway.
Once they were in there, Lorelai came in quickly after. She stood by Rory's side, and grabbed her hand. "Babe?"
"Yeah mommy?"
"You'll do great," Lorelai smiled at her. Rory beamed back but then scrunched her face up in pain.
"Holy crap!" She exclaimed.
"Time to push," Dr. Bishop said. "When I say push, push."
"Great," Rory muttered.

It was a half hour later, and Rory was on the brink of having little Lorelai.
"Come on Rory!" Dr. Bishop exclaimed.
"If you were in my position, would you continually try to push a human being out of you for 30 freaking minutes!" Rory yelled as she pushed again.
"Rory hun, I know it hurts. Do you want to throw ice at me?" Lorelai smiled sympathetically.
"Could
I?" Rory asked sweetly as she laid there, waiting for another
contraction.
Lorelai handed her the cup of ice and told her, "Pelt
away."
Rory threw one piece, and said, "That did make me feel a whole lot better."
"Ok Rory, this next contraction is it," Dr. Bishop said.
"I hate him, I hate him!" Rory moaned. She pushed and all of a sudden heard a loud cry.
"Oh my God! She's here!" Lorelai screeched as Dr. Bishop cut her umbilical cord. A nurse took her and cleaned her up.
"Yay," Rory smiled softly. She had almost no energy left. She felt completely weak.
"What's her name dear?" The nurse asked, as she was measuring the weight and height of the baby.
"Lorelai Juliet. We're going to call her Jules," Rory replied.
"Oh how pretty," the nurse agreed. "You ready to hold your baby mommy?"
Rory nodded and gulped as the nurse held out a small baby wrapped in a pink blanket and hat. As Jules was placed in Rory's arms, she looked down at a tiny baby with almost invisible blonde hair, and Rory could almost guarantee she would have blue eyes. She was mesmerized by the tiny being in her arms. A baby. Her baby. Her and Tristan's baby. One who would be blessed with family and friends surrounding her. A baby who was part of her.
"Wow," Rory's voice cracked.
"I know," Lorelai agreed. She was having the moment. The moment where nothing else seems quite as important as the baby you just gave birth to. The one you gave life.
"She's perfect," Rory smiled, stroking the little baby's cheek.
"I whole-heartedly agree," Lorelai agreed.
"What were her measurements?" Rory asked.
"7 pounds, 2 ounces, 19 inches," Lorelai read off the sheet.
"She's a little peanut," Rory cooed.
"Aww, can we call her peanut?" Lorelai asked, "Please?"
"Yeah, that's a cute nickname," Rory agreed. "Other people can come in if they want to."
"Ok, I'll go get them," Lorelai agreed. Lorelai walked out into the waiting room where a group of 10 or so were waiting on news of Rory and Jules.
"Oh! Lorelai's here!" Miss Patty exclaimed.
"What's the name, suga?" Babette asked.
"A healthy baby girl named Lorelai Juliet, or Jules. She's taking visitors if you want to see her," Lorelai grinned happily.
Bella walked up to Lorelai and tugged on her leg, "Nana?"
"What babe?" Lorelai stooped down to Bella's eye level.
"Is Jules my sister?" Bella asked.
"She sure is sweets," Lorelai smiled, as she swept some of Bella's red hair to the side.
"Can I see her?" she inquired.
"Of course," Lorelai agreed. She stood back up and took Bella's hand. The two walked toward Rory's room along with Luke, Paris, Lane, Sookie, Babette, Emily, Richard, and Miss Patty.
Lorelai knocked on the door, and opened it up. "Hey babes, you guys have got some visitors." Rory looked up at the small crowd that gathered for her.
"Come on in guys," Rory grinned, holding the fussing baby.
"Oh how adorable," Sookie cooed.
"Mommy," Bella said walking toward the bed, "can I hold my sister?"
"Sure, come up here and I'll help you," Rory looked happy as the small child pulled herself onto the bed. Bella looked at her expectedly and Rory instructed Bella to hold up her head, and stay sitting the entire time. Lorelai watched Rory with her two kids, and knew how great of a mother she would truly be.
"Hi Jules, I'm your sister Bella, but if that's too hard for you to say, you can call me sissy," Bella told the curious baby who was trying to gain focus, but was unable to.
All the
adults in the rooms smiled at the little girl talking to her new baby
sister.
Once Bella was done holding the baby, Luke held her for a
brief few seconds, and agreed to take Bella home, because she was
getting a bit sleepy.
Emily held Jules next along with Richard watching over her shoulder. He was even convinced to hold his new great-grandchild for a few moments. Although it was under an inconvenient moment, he was proud the Gilmore generation would somewhat being continued, since Jules's full name is Lorelai Juliet Gilmore-Dugrey. Those two left and agreed to come and visit the next day.
Then Lane held the cooing child. "Oh my God, this is the cutest baby in the entire world. Now Jules, I swear if you fall into the stereotypical 'rock' band pit, I swear your Aunt Lane will completely drag you out of it."
"I knew your advice would be something to fulfill your audiophile ways," Rory teased.
"Well of course. This baby will not be brought up to listen to bands like NSync and Papa Roach. She will listen to Violent Femmes, Coldplay, Ash, Beck, The Postal Service all the good stuff. Although by the time we can get her into music, I'm sure we'll have new favorites as well. This kid is going to be my successor," Lane rambled.
"Calm down spaz, I appreciate it," Rory assured her.
Lane gave the baby back to Rory, who then proceeded to give the baby to Paris. "Well, she is a good weight and height for a premature baby. You're lucky she doesn't need to be in an incubator or is able to breathe on her own," Paris replied.
"Thanks Paris," Rory agreed. Once Paris left, Miss Patty and Babette took their turns fussing over the baby. After they left, it was only Lorelai and Rory.
"You looked that adorable," Lorelai noted.
"Really?" Rory asked.
"Oh yeah, you had all the nurses wanting to hold you," Lorelai nodded.
"Wow, I must have been pretty cute," Rory agreed.
"You were," Lorelai said. "She's going to have to go in that little crib thing soon."
"But I don't want her to leave me!" Rory whined.
"That's why they haven't taken her yet. Most first mothers have a really hard time letting their baby go away from them. But they're coming soon. You'll have her soon after. You're going to have to feed her eventually you know," Lorelai informed her.
"Yeah, that's not fun," Rory made a face.
"You'll get used to it," Lorelai laughed. "Just uh, don't get hit in the boobs."
"Mom!" Rory scolded. "Not in front of Jules! She has such fragile virgin ears!"
"Are you serious? I can't say boobs in front of your daughter? What about wiener, because that's also considered a food," Lorelai laughed.
"Stop mocking me!" Rory pouted.
"Hello, I'm looking for a Jules," a nurse popped into the room.
"She's the one who's almost bald," Lorelai joked.
"Ok, just let me take her," she smiled. Rory looked at her baby one last time, and gave her a small kiss on the forehead.
"Sleep tight baby girl," Rory whispered. She reluctantly handed Jules to the nurse who looked at the baby and was talking to her on the way out.
"I miss her already," Rory whined.
"I figured you would," Lorelai replied.
"I can't get up except to go to the bathroom until tomorrow," Rory continued.
"Yep," Lorelai added.
"Plus giving birth to a premature baby means I have to stay three days longer to make sure she develops okay over those days," Rory made a 'hmmph' noise.
"It does suck," Lorelai agreed.
"I need sleep," Rory shifted herself into a comfortable sleeping position.
" 'Night babe," Lorelai smiled. She made a bed out of chairs and tried to situate herself.
"I had a baby," Rory whispered before falling asleep. Lorelai thought, my little girl has a baby.

In the morning, once Rory was awake. She got up, and got a cup of coffee in the cafeteria. Then, she went over to go get her baby to feed her. "Hello Jules, how are you this fine morning. Are you ready to eat, 'cause mommy sure isn't. She doesn't like the feeling, but it's for you, and you're the most important thing to me, so mommy has to deal with it. Your sister Bella's important to me too. Except she's four, and well, already over with the kind of feeding I have to do with you missy. You better thank me for this one day. I didn't stick you with formula," Rory greeted her daughter.
"So," Rory said as they started their walk back to the room, "I figured today after you are fed, you can meet your daddy. Right now, he's taking a very long nap, and he's only going to wake up when he wants to. But you can talk to him one day. Hopefully he'll be awake by the time you can talk, but if he's not, that's ok. I know he'll wake up for Bella, you and me, kid. He will. That's your daddy. He's stubborn and will do anything for us, including waking up," Rory walked into the room. She sat down on the bed and fed Jules. Once she was finished, Rory tried to wake up Lorelai.
"Mom, wake up," Rory poked her.
"Don't hurt the turnip! He didn't mean to have an affair with the squash!" Lorelai muttered in her sleep.
"Oh but they did, the turnip was unhappy with his cauliflower for a wife," Rory replied to Lorelai. When Lorelai talked in her sleep, Rory enjoyed talking back and continuing a conversation with her while Lorelai is actually sleeping.
"Cauliflower is having baby. Now so is squash," Lorelai said.
"That's a problem," Rory agreed.
"Uh-huh," Lorelai said.
"MOM!" Rory exclaimed. Lorelai sat up, with sleepy eyes and messy hair.
"What? What happened?" Lorelai asked.
"Well apparently the turnip cheated on the cauliflower with the squash, and now they're both due to have baby squash and cauliflower," Rory informed her.
"Where do you get these ideas from?" Lorelai shook her head. That's another thing. Lorelai never remembers dreams.
"Just a random idea I had," Rory shrugged.
"I have to leave soon," Lorelai blinked rapidly, still trying to get awake.
"How soon?" Rory asked.
"Half an hour," Lorelai replied. "I need to try and get some coffee in me, hold my grandbaby, tell people when I can see their butts."
"Mom, you can't do that. Everyone's butt shows in those gowns. I however, cried hysterically until I got two gowns so I had no butt showing," Rory scolded.
"You are such a brown-noser," Lorelai rolled her eyes.
"Go get coffee. You can hold Jules when you get back," Rory ordered.
"Aye-aye captain," Lorelai saluted and walked out.
Rory sat and held her child, rocking her back and forth as she whimpered a bit. "Shh…, oh you have to burp don't you?" Rory placed a cloth on her shoulder, and lifted the baby up to burp her. After a little while of patting Jules's back, Rory heard Jules burp.
"Good girl," Rory looked at the baby.
"Hey, give the grandbaby over," Lorelai called to Rory as she walked in.
"Chill, she's
still going to be here in the five second it takes you to walk in
this room," Rory rolled her eyes.
"Yes, but I like to use my
vocal cords to the best of my ability. Therefore, I talk very
loudly," Lorelai explained as if it were common sense.
Rory mocked her, "Oh silly me." Lorelai walked over and picked up Jules.
"Hello, hello little baby. It's Nana Lorelai again! Yes, the cool grandma. Who will let you watch any movie you want as long as it's either good for just watching, or complete mocking. Mmmk?" Lorelai asked the baby. "How come she's not responding?"
"Are you serious? Oh look, she scrunched her nose. There's your response. It means, Nana Lorelai, I will be the perfect image of chastity, so do not introduce me to such vulgar things."
"Are you serious? You knew about sex when you were two!"
"Yeah well, I had this baby when I was nineteen. You were sixteen. Three years is a big time gap missy," Rory replied.
"So? Geez, your kid's going to be the next one to be pregnant if you push chastity on her," Lorelai added, dancing around with Jules in her arms.
"True, so maybe when she's ten I'll tell her it's not the stork that brings babies. And that she and I were both born out of wedlock, but don't expect to keep that tradition alive," Rory sighed.
"Ha, I remember when I had you, we didn't hide it from the family of course. So, it was the Christmas party, and my Aunt… Lucy I believe, had a seven year old named Jeffrey. Anywho, I was rocking you when little Jeffrey the Giraffe, as I liked to call him in my head, came up to me and said, "How could you have Rory when you're not married?" I felt so bad for the kid; I didn't know what to say. Did I say, well, I don't know. Or, well, you really don't have to be married, but it's frowned upon if you don't. I mean the kid was seven, what was I supposed to do?" Lorelai rambled.
"Keep your mouth shut and ask him what he wanted for Christmas. Kids never remember anything after you ask them about toys," Rory responded.
"If I knew that 18 years ago, I would have told him that," Lorelai rolled her eyes. "I have to get going babe."
"When are you coming back?" Rory asked as Jules was placed back in her arms.
"Probably around seven or eight when I bring Bella and Luke with me," Lorelai replied.
"Oh good, I want to see them," Rory smiled.
"Bye honeys!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Bye mom," Rory laughed. Once Lorelai left, Rory looked at Jules and said, "Ready to meet dad?"
The baby looked at her oddly, and Rory added, "I know you can't understand me but come on, it's the guy who made you a girl. I bet you appreciate that. 'Cause being a girl can be hard, but we're strong."
Rory and Jules made a venture to the elevator, where a man and woman were inside, who also had a baby with them. "Oh your baby is so adorable," the woman said.
"Thanks, yours is too," Rory replied. "Which floor are you heading to?"
"Floor five," she said.
"Oh me too," Rory smiled, "I'm visiting my boyfriend."
"His grandfather's in for a heart murmur, so we figured we would bring Will to him," the woman explained.
"My boyfriend's in a coma, so I figured he'd like to meet his child," Rory added.
"You got us beat. That must be terrible," the woman said.
"It is, I really miss him. I'm stuck here for another two days because I gave birth to Jules prematurely," Rory groaned.
"Really, me too. Will was three weeks early," the woman rolled her eyes. "I thought I had more time to prepare."
"Me too. I thought I had another month," Rory explained.
"I'm Marie," Marie introduced herself.
"I'm Rory," Rory did the same.
The elevator door opened and Marie said, "Maybe I'll see you around the hospital."
"Maybe," Rory replied. She briskly walked to Tristan's room and opened it up. He looked exactly the same as he did before, although his skin was pale due to lack of sun exposure.
"Hey Tristan. Guess what? Your daughter was a month early! Oh yeah, that was a blast and a half. Anyway, her name is Lorelai Juliet. Except, we call her Jules. I figured the Juliet was a nice reminder of our relationship. She was seven pounds, two ounces, and nineteen inches. I figured that was pretty good. She's such a little peanut, which is a little nickname she might have for awhile. I really wish you could hold her and see her. She has the prettiest hair, and the cutest little toes and fingers. I knew I loved her the minute I heard her cry. You would have to. She can't see yet, but she's opened her eyes. They're blue. But I have a feeling they're going to be a navy blue, almost a mixture between yours and mine. Everyone loves how adorable she is. I met a woman named Marie on the elevator. She has to stay three extra days just like me, 'cause we both had premature babies. It sucks though. I really don't want to be cooped up in this hospital much longer. But at least you're sort of here. I can talk to you, but you can't talk back. But you're listening, and I know you can hear that I love you, and Jules loves you. Ok? So anyway, this morning when I went to get Jules I told her how you…"
A/N- Wow, that was a very long chapter for me. Don't you agree? I hope you enjoyed this chapter with Jules and everyone. Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate all who even bother to read this thing. And thanks for all the alerts and favorites lists and stuff. And those who look at my profile. Any suggestions to make it cooler?

QuEEnSeRb716 would like to add:
C'mon, I have to keep doing this little addition note. It's fantastically fun to write. Katie used my last name! Why she made me a doctor...that is one scary thought. Me a doctor. I'm laughing hysterically. So, I still have lots of control of Katie, so that's the only reason she's updating. Don't listen to whatever she tells you. It's definitely always me. Sometimes I think I think I may have to threaten her Orlando Bloom pictures. And, next time, I promise she will update sooner. Maybe I will threaten those pictures…
You threaten those pictures and I may never speak to you again says TiCkLeDpInK22
