"I'm not late am I?" Lorelai asked when she rushed into the waiting room.

"No, you're right on time." Rory replied. "They're running ten minutes behind anyway, which doesn't help with the amount of water I've drunk."

"I remember that." Lorelai smiled.

"Since we have sometime is there something you'd like to tell me Mother?"

"Mother?" Lorelai questioned. "That can't be good."

"Mom…"

"Jess?"

"Leave me out of this." Jess said.

"Mom… something about a pool?"

"Ah." Lorelai paused. "You said I could."

"I didn't mean it."

"It's bit late for that now hun." Lorelai told her.

"What exactly did you bet in this pool?"

"I told you I thought it was a girl."

"And Luke?" Rory asked.

"Luke voted for a boy. It was pretty much a split down the middle."

"And Jess?" Rory prompted.

"That doesn't matter." Jess interjected.

"I'd like to know."

"You should just tell her the truth." Lorelai suggested.

"Does it really matter?" Jess asked.

"I want to know. It's not another black eye incident."

"I flipped a coin." Jess admitted.

"You flipped a coin?"

"I honestly don't care either way. Despite my stellar experience with parents, I know you're supposed to love your kid unconditionally either way, so what do I care either way?"

"You really flipped a coin?"

"He did." Lorelai confirmed.

"Three hundred bucks is three hundred bucks." Jess shrugged.

"I'm not sure whether that is sweet or incredibly dumb." Rory said.

"Go with sweet, it will annoy him more." Lorelai suggested.

"Thanks." Jess said sarcastically.

"That's why you have a lousy poker face."

"Since when do you play poker?" Lorelai asked.

"You pick these things up in college." Rory replied.

"And we only played for M&Ms." Jess added.

"Which we ate half of." Rory pointed out.

It was another five minutes before they were called.

"Lorelai Gilmore." The technician called.

"That's me." Rory said getting up.

"This way Miss Gilmore." He led her into a room. Lorelai and Jess followed.

"Rory is fine." She told him.

"And who else do we have here?" He inquired.

"My Mom and Jess."

"It's nice to meet you all. Now Rory if you'd just hop up on the bed and pull up your top slightly." Rory did as she was told. He gave her a cloth to tuck into the top of her pants so she didn't get any of the gel on them. "Have you felt any movement yet?"

"For the last week and a half, I've been feeling something like little bubbles popping."

"That's probably baby. Let's take a look this might be cold and tickle." He poured contact gel on her stomach and used the probe. "Here we go; I just need to take a few measurements." He said then he turned the screen towards them. "Here's baby. Here's it head, spine, two legs, two arms. Baby looks quite active."

"It's sucking its thumb." Lorelai said.

"Is everything okay?" Rory asked.

"Everything looks great and right on track." He told her. "We'll get you a copy of baby's first picture."

"Is there any chance I can get six?" Rory asked.

"That's a little too many Rory." Lorelai told her.

"It shouldn't be a problem. The tech told her. "We had a woman in last week who requested thirty six. Do you want to know the baby's sex?"

Rory looked at Jess.

"Yes." He told him.

"Okay, congratulations you're having a …."
