Chapter 28

"I'm tired." Lucy said falling on top of the bed exhaustedly.

"No kidding." Rory said falling on top of the bed beside her.

"Oh guys stop complaining. I'm the one with the swollen feet and carrying three babies. I should be tired."

"That's because you didn't do anything Mom. We had to carry your bags in and out of every damn store because the doctor said that you can't pick up things heavy. I don't even know how shopping bags count as heavy." Rory said.

"When you have fifty, they do." Lucy said.

"I don't know why you guys are complaining. I carried way more than you did." Luke said trudging into the hotel room carrying a whole ton bags.

"Oh Honey, we're sorry." Lorelai said between giggles.

"I'm sure you are. Tomorrow, whoever buys something holds it. That way, me, who hates to shop won't have to hold anything. Everything either belonged to you (pointing at Lucy), you (pointing at Rory) or you (pointing at Lorelai)."

"Honey, would you really let your pregnant wife-to-be hold shopping bags when you know perfectly well she can't."

"Fine then, Jess will hold bags. But that's it, everyone else hold your own thing. End of story"

"Fine." Lucy said.

"Fine." Rory said.

"I'm hungry." Lorelai said.

"When are you ever not?" Lucy said.

"Hey! Do not mock me!"

"It's the truth."

"Luke, can you be a doll and go get some food for us?" Lorelai said.

"I guess. While I do that, you guys can take showers and do all that other girlie stuff you guys do." Luke said.

Lucy giggled at that 'girlie stuff' comment Luke made.

"What is so funny?" Luke asked.

"You said girlie." Lucy said between giggles.

"Huh?" Luke said confused.

"Forget it Luke. I'm starving. Hustle! Hustle!" Lorelai said.

"Okay then." Luke started to leave.

"Thanks stud." Lorelai said.

Luke gave her a look.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"No!" Lorelai said groggily, slapping her hand on the alarm clock and putting her head under the pillow.

"What time is it?" Luke said yawning.

"I don't know and I don't care, I just want to go back to sleep."

"We can't."

"Why?" Lorelai whined.

"Because we have to eat and Jess is coming."

"Tell him to just come in and I'm not even hungry."

"Well that's a first."

"Hey!" Lorelai said slapping her hand around trying to hit Luke.

"Well, I'm going to go out and find some breakfast for you."

"Why can't you order room service?"

"Because it's over-priced. We can get the same thing at a cheaper cost, and by the time I get back you'll most likely be hungry." Luke started to get off the bed.

"No stay." Lorelai said still not taking her head out from under the pillow.

"Okay, I'll stay for a few more minutes." Luke said. He kissed Lorelai's neck and lay back down.

"Good."

As Luke and Lorelai almost drifted back to sleep, they heard the door open and hit the wall loudly.

"What the hell?" Lorelai said groggily. She got up and saw Lucy standing in the doorway with a tired and annoyed look on her face. Her dark brunette hair was messy, and she looked as though she wanted to kill someone. "Ugh, Lucy, what the hell was that for?"

"Who set the alarm clock?" Lucy asked furiously.

"It wasn't me, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm tired."

"Yuh think. Where's Rory?"

"She turned off the alarm clock and kicked me off the bed."

"Aww, now poor Lucy Liu has nowhere to sleep. Hop on kid, you can stay in the middle."

"Thank you." Lucy got on the bed. "I'm still mad at you."

"While you guys go back to sleep, I'm going to get food." Luke said getting off the bed once again.

"Mkay." Lorelai said drifting back to sleep.

Just then the phone rang.

"What did I do in a past life?" Lucy said.

"I donno kid."

"Hello?" Luke said picking up the phone that was beside the bed.

"I hate you!" Lucy shouted, and Lorelai covered her mouth.

"Yeah, that was Lucy." Luke said into the phone.

"I guess God says it's time to get up kid." Lorelai said.

"No not yet." Lucy whined.

"Too late." Luke said, hanging up the phone. "Jess is here."

Lorelai looked at the clock. "It's early." She whined.

"I know, but now that you're wide awake, you guys can get ready, and we can plan our day."

"No!" Lucy whined.

"You are really turning into another annoying Lorelai." Luke said to Lucy.

"Oh please, I'm not that annoying."

"You guys are mean."

"Jess!" Lorelai said.

"Hey Lorelai." Jess said as he entered the hotel room. "Wow, you're pregnant."

"You didn't know?"

"Nope."

Lorelai looked at Lucy and Rory.

"I guess we forgot out one small little detail." Lucy said.

"Are you due anytime soon?" Jess said.

"No, I'm due at the end of May. I only look big because it's triplets." Lorelai said.

"Triplets? Wow Uncle Luke, you've got your work cut out for you." Jess said sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Luke said. "Where's the rest of your stuff?"

"In the lobby. Do you want me to bring it up?"

"Yeah, that would help. Is it a lot?"

"Kind of…"

"Fine I'll help you."

"I knew you would pal." Jess said sarcastically.

"Okay come on."

Monday Morning…

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Who invented alarm clocks?" Lorelai said furiously. She looked at the window. "It's not even morning yet."

"Of course it's morning Lorelai." Luke said sleepily.

"Then why is it dark?"

"It's wintertime, it's always dark earlier."

"In my world, when it's dark, it's sleepy time, so I'm going back to sleep."

"Not if Lucy can help it."

For the second time, they heard the door loudly hit the wall.

"I told you so." Luke said.

"Lucy, love of my life, what's with the morning noise?" Lorelai said.

"I'm tired, Jess snores, Rory kicked me off the bed…again." Lucy said.

"What time is it anyway?"

"5:30." Luke said.

"Why are we up this early again?" Lorelai asked.

"Because we want to get out of the city before the morning rush, it'll take twice as long to go back than it took to get here."

"No!" Lorelai said putting her head under the pillow.

"Yes. Now while the two of you go back to sleep for a little while, I'm going to get breakfast and finish packing the rest of our stuff."

"Okay."

Going Back to Stars Hollow…

"How many more minutes?" Lorelai asked.

"120." Luke said.

"How long is that?"

"Long enough."

"How many more minutes now?"

"Lorelai…" Luke said warningly.

"Fine, I'll be quiet." Lorelai said sitting back in her seat. She turned around and saw an asleep Lucy lying on an asleep Rory's lap and Rory's head on an asleep Jess' shoulder. She smiled and turned around.

"Why are you smiling?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking that you're going to make a great Dad."

"You think so?"

"Yeah, I mean the way you care for those kids, you're so much more of a father to them than Christopher ever will be."

Luke smiled. The two of them were quiet.

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai said breaking the silence.

"Mhmm?" Luke said.

"We need a bigger car, like a jeep or a van or something."

"I know, but after the Christmas holidays we can get one and all the other things we need, so that way once we move in, we won't need to buy anything else."

"You've got this all figured out don't you?"

"Yup."

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Author's Note: Yet another pointless one, but I want to know whether or not you guys think Jess and Rory should get together or if you think it's too weird 'cause they're soon going to be cousins. Also, baby names!

You guys can choose two girls and two boys, so that way it won't be so difficult. The one with the most wins. You guys don't only have to say in this chapter, but the other chapters before she has the babies.
