(Disclaimer) - I have no life. I have no friends. Yes I do .. but still ... sush
All I have is this story and a cd of Panic! At the Disco at the moment.
Amy Sherman Palladino owns Gilmore girls .. but at the moment I'd
pay a hefty load just to have Luke. Don't sue, please?

(A/N) - I know, it's been just about forever. I'm so sorry.
I've been studying for finals and trying to bring my grade up
to atleast an 85 because I'm trying to get 2nd honors. But I
know I might not get it because my english grade and spanish
grade look like CRAP. I know .. weird because I'm writing a fanfic
but I'm still failing english. Does that say something about me?
I hope not.

I like this chapter.

But I'm sorry it jumps around alot.

I would put little shout out thingys but right now I'm in the midst
of picking out my outfit for Sunday because my high school soccer team
is in the championship game and I got spirit, yes I do!

I'll try to write more soon.

Remember .. I love you!

It was a week after everyone found out about Will's condition but the thing they didn't know was how long he had left.

Luke was taking it very hard and started to shut everyone out of what he was thinking, including Lorelai.

Liz was very much upset and started to get in trouble even though she was 8 and a half month pregnant.

Lorelai was very concerned about the family she grew to love as her own but started to becamse very upset Luke wasn't talking to her much anymore. There was one thing that he did do though, he talked to baby.

Every night after Lorelai's breath steadied Luke moved his face closer to her stomach and talked to the lump about his day. He started calling the unborn child 'Rory' more often, other than 'it'. He continued this action every night until he doozed off to sleep with his head on his girlfriends chest.

One morning Lorelai woke up to something shoving her shoulder.

"What?" she mumbled.

"Lorelai, I think it's time." said the voice.

Lorelai's eyes shot open and found a very pregnant Liz standing in front of her holding her belly.

"Time?" Lorelai asked as if she needed more confirmation.

"Yes. Time. I'm having contractions and my water just broke like freakin' 10 seconds ago." Liz sounded scared.

"Okay. Okay .. we can do this." Lorelai sat up and bed and looked over at the spot next to her where Luke usually lay to find it empty.

"He's with Daddy at the hardware store. They left around 5 this morning. I started to feel it then but I didn't want to worry them if it was just a false alarm." Luke's younger sister explained.

Lorelai nodded as she got up and started to put clothes on.

"Liz, I need you to go call Luke or your dad."

"No. I can't. I don't want them in them to come until the baby is born."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to disappoint them if something goes wrong." Liz's head fell and her shoulders began to quake.

"Liz .. oh babe. Come here." Lorelai opened her arms up to her and Liz gladly entered her almost-sister's warmth.

"Don't worry .. nothing bad is going to happen. Everything is going to be great, I know it. You, this baby and Jimmy will be so happy together."

"No we won't" Liz said between sobs.

"Why would you think that?"

"Because Jimmy left two weeks ago."

This shocked Lorelai. She thought Liz has been going out every night with him and just getting caught vandalizing the school or something of that matter. Lorelai didn't want to upset Liz anymore, even though she wanted details, she let it go.

"Okay .. it's going to be fine hon. We're just going to get you to the hospital to get this baby out of you so we can figure out where we go from there."

"We?" Liz sounded almost hopeful as she looked into Lorelai's eyes.

"Yes. We. You, me, Luke & Pop. We're going to get through this together. I know there has been so many obstacles thrown at us so far, but it's all going to be alright." Lorelai kissed her forehead in a very motherly fashion and patted her arm.

Liz nodded and thought for a moment.

"I'll call Luke. Can you go get my bag?"

Lorelai smiled and replied with a "Sure hun."

5 hours and 17 minutes later a very tired and exhausted Carrie come out of the delivery room to announce the news.

"It's a boy."

Everyone in the waiting room cheered and shouted. The room was very small but consisted of most of friends of Lorelai, Luke and Liz and of course - Will.

"Mr. Danes? Liz wants to see you first."

Will nodded and walked into the room where his daughter just gave birth.

"So, what's his name?" Lorelai asked trying not to jump up and down from excitement.

"She named him Jess. Jess Danes."

Luke smiled and looked down at his girlfriend.

"He's a Danes." Lorelai said.

"He's a Danes." Luke repeated.

Will came out with the proudest look on his face and motioned Luke and Lorelai to come near him.

"He's beautiful. He has the face of an angel but you know that kid is gonna wreck havoc when he's older."

"Can we go see her?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah, she asked for you guys." Will answered.

"Okay. We'll be right out." Lorelai said as she tried walking fast to Liz's room.

"So .. another Danes boy huh?" Luke asked his father.

"I guess so." Will replied.

Will stuffed his hands in his pockets uncomfortable with the akward silence that followed but was pleasantly surprised when he felt his son hugging him.

Will patted his son back after a moment and they broke off.

"I'm going to go see Liz." Luke pointed off to the direction of her room.

"Right."

Luke ran off to find his sister and his new nephew.

Room 284.

Luke opened the door to find his younger sister sleeping in her bed and his girlfriend in a chair next to her rocking a tiny baby.

"Hey." Lorelai whispered.

"Hi." Luke said walking up to her.

"He's beautiful."

"Yeah .. he is."

Luke admirred the new born in front of him. This was his nephew. His sister's kid. He knew that he was going to need to help Liz out more than ever but swore to himself that he'll do anything to keep them safe.

But then he thought about Lorelai. He thought about the way he's been treating her alot lately. Ever since he found out about his dad he shut her out and didn't talk to her as much. After that night of the 'fake-prom' and first talk with Rory he didn't really show any emotion to her. He felt bad. He was shutting the only person who ever really understood him out.

Luke looked at Lorelai with compassion and thought How could she possibly be so kind to be when I've been so cruel.

He knelt down next to her and placed on her arm and watched the baby that they now called Jess.

It was a few moments of silence until he finally spoke up.

"I'm sorry about the way I've been acting lately." he looked up at her face.

"It's fine." she waved it off with her free hand.

"No it's not fine Lorelai. I've been acting like a self-centered loser when all I really want to do is just talk to you."

"Really, Luke. It's fine. I know it's hard right now and I understand. But please .. just don't not talk to me again?"

"Sure." Luke said as he kissed her on the forehead.

They looked back down at the sleeping baby in front of them and smiled.

"Hi Jess. I'm your Uncle Luke and this is your Aunt Lorelai. We're gonna watch over you and your mom so don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to you." Luke said as he stroked the baby's cheek

See that button? Yeah. It needs some attention too.
