"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.


They leave the appointment, with pictures of their daughter in hand and Rory babbling something incoherent.

"Hey, Luke?" Lorelai speaks up.

"What?"

"Are you happy about the baby?" she asks, unsure.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, I just thought that you'd want a boy."

"I'm happy with either. I'll get to spoil Rory, and this one, face it, they're going to be 'daddy's little girl's'."

"Oh? Want to make it a little competition?" she asks, always in the mood for a game.

"Aw jeez."

She smiles, claiming that as her victory. They arrive back in the Hollow, and pull William aside to tell him that he has a granddaughter.

"Do you want to tell him, or should I?" Lorelai asks.

"Well, you've been through this before, so, how about you," Luke reasons

"Right, I have been through this before. All though, that was with my parents, and the only reason they found out was because I said something about the pâté smelling like Clorox, Rory wasn't a fan of it…and to tell you the truth, neither was I."

"So, you don't like pate?" Luke asks, with a smile on his face, "well, there goes my surprise."

"Very funny, you know, you should be a comedian. I think it suits you, babe."

"I'll get right on that. I'll take my act out on the road, you going to come with me?"

"Ok, I'm bored with this now, lets go tell your dad about his granddaughter. And yes."

He smiles, knowing what she means the says, "Yes, lets." Lorelai begins to giggle and Luke asks, "What?"

"You made a rhyme!" she says, still giggling.

"Jeez." They walk in to the hardware store in search for William. "Dad, can we talk to you for a minute?"

William walks over, rubs Lorelai's growing stomach and says, "Lets go to the office."

"Up, Pop!" Rory exclaims, holding her arms up to William,gladly picks up the little girl.

They enter the office and get right down to it.

"Well, as you know we had a check up for the baby, and we decided to find out what we're having. Do you want to know, or do you want to wait until the baby is born?" Lorelai asks.

William thinks a moment and says, "I already know what it is. I've known since Luke told me that you're pregnant." he pauses, and sees the confused looks on their faces the bluntly states, "I'm going to have a granddaughter."

"How did you know that?" Lorelai asks, amazed.

"The same way I knew that Lucas was a boy and Lizzy was a girl. Instinct. Now, if you three will excuse me, I've got to get back down stairs." He kisses Rory's head, puts her down, and she toddles over to Luke, then gets up and walks out the door.

"Ok, your dad…is he clairvoyant? How did he know that we're having a girl?" Lorelai asks still amazed at William.

"I don't know, he's weird."

Someone runs in to the office and exclaims, "Luke, come quick. It's your dad!"
