Three months had passed and Lorelai is four and a half months pregnant, and she started to show a month ago. She was less than thrilled that once again, she will be fat. Luke assures her that she is not fat, and she is still beautiful. Rory still hasn't asked, or tried to ask any questions about Lorelai's sudden weight gain. Lorelai and Luke decided to tell her when they get off of work…tonight.
And tonight couldn't come any slower. William, noticing how antsy Luke and Lorelai were being all day said that they can go ahead and get off work early.
"Are you sure? Cause we can always work our full shift," Lorelai offers
"I'm sure, you need to tell your daughter about the new baby. Go," he says.
Luke takes Lorelai's hand, goes up to the apartment, tells Jenny, the babysitter, that she won't be needed until tomorrow. Rory sees Lorelai and Luke, and again, runs as fast as her little legs would let her, over to her mom.
"Hi mama," Rory says, then reaches out to Luke, "Uke! Up!"
He takes Rory from Lorelai and kisses her head, "Hey angel."
"Play?" Rory asks, pointing at her toys scattered on the floor.
"Luke, go ahead and play with her, I'm going to change into something that shows my stomach a little better," Lorelai says.
"Alright."
A few minutes later, Lorelai comes out of the bathroom, in a some-what tight shirt, and sits next to Luke on the floor. They both wait until Rory notices Lorelai's small bump.
Rory looks up from her doll, and looks at her mom, smiles and looks at her tummy, with a questioning look. Her mommy never looked like that before, her mommy never had a big tummy, its always been small. She stands, walks to Lorelai, pats her tummy and ask, "Ball?"
"No, sweets. Baby," Lorelai says.
Rory looks confused, liftsLorelai's shirt and says, "No. Tummy."
"There's a baby in mommy's tummy," Luke explains.
She holds up her doll and says, "Beebe?"
"Not exactly that 'Beebe'. Honey you're going to be a big sister," Lorelai says, though Rory could care less, she has her doll. "Well, I think she's ok with the new addition."
"Looks like."
Lorelai comes down the stairs, Rory on her hip, and walks into the hardware store.
"Luke, I'm leaving for the appointment right now," Lorelai says.
"Ok, just a sec," he says, then walks off. A few moments later, he comes back with his keys and Rory's car seat and says, "Lets go."
They walk out to the truck, Luke buckles Rory's seat in, then takes her from Lorelai then straps her in her seat. Once everyone is in a buckled up, Luke pulls out on to the road, and they are off to Woodbridge for the check up on the baby.
The ride is filled with small talk, talk of the baby, talk of Rory. Lorelai singing songs on the radio…off key. Rory occasionally pipes in with baby talk.
"So, Luke, do you want to know what the baby is?" Lorelai asks tentatively.
"Why? Do you?" he asks back.
"Well, I didn't know what Rory was, but I think that it would be nice…just so we're prepared," she says, then tells him, "but, we don't have to if you don't want to. The doctor may not even be able to tell yet, I was just wondering."
"Lets fid out what the baby is," he says.
She smiles brightly at him and says, "Ok."
The pull in to a parking lot, and get out of the truck. Luke, holding Rory, opens the door for Lorelai. They walk up to the reception desk and sign in.
They are sitting in the waiting room for a few minutes when they hear, "Lorelai Gilmore?"
Back in the room, the doctor examines Lorelai, then asks, "Do you want to know the gender of your baby?"
"Yes we do," Lorelai says smiling and grabs Luke's hand.
"Alright. This gel may be a bit cold Ms. Gilmore," the doctor warns. He squirts the gel on her stomach, moves the wand around until a little picture comes up on the screen. "That is your baby. This," he points to a place on the screen, "is the head. Lets see if we can see what it is." He moves the wand around, freezes the picture and says, "Congratulations, it's a girl."
Lorelai beams, Luke looks as if he's about to cry.
"We have a girl, Luke," Lorelai says, on the brink of tears.
Rory has chosen now to look at the screen and says, "Uke! Beebe!" and points to the screen.
"Yeah, that is your 'Beebe' sister," he tells her.
