A/N: I'm from the UK; we don't have baby showers so I'm just making this up from what I've seen on TV.

"Mom, are you going to tell me what's going on?" Rory asked. "This is disorientating."

"It's supposed to be hun." Lorelai replied. "Just a few more steps." Lorelai led her to the perfect position. "Close your eyes."

"Okay." Rory closed her eyes. Lorelai slipped the blindfold off.

"Now open them."

Rory opened her eyes. The dinning room had been transformed. It was covered in pink balloons and streamers. There were balloons in the shape of pacifiers and diaper pins.

There was a big sign on wall that said Happy Baby Shower.

"You threw me a baby shower." Rory smiled.

"A surprise one." Lorelai agreed. "You had no idea?"

"No." She paused. "Luke and Jess knew."

"You can't throw a surprise party without co-conspirators."

Rory received hugs from her friends and the women of Stars Hollow.

"Have you seen the cake that Sookie made?" Emily inquired.

Rory glanced over to where the buffet table had been set up. Sat in the middle there was a cake in the shape of a teddy bear dressed in a pink tutu.

"Sookie you really out did yourself." Rory smiled. "It's perfect and I'm going to end lots of pictures."

"Already taken them." Lorelai assured her. "Not a bit of green in sight."

"I noticed."

"Green?" Emily questioned.

"Sherri's baby shower for Gigi was all green." Lorelai explained.

"Rory." Paris said.

"Hey Paris." Rory smiled. "You knew about this too and didn't tell me?"

"Only since Jess delivered my invitation a few weeks ago." Paris replied.

"I still can't believe you managed to get them to keep it from me." Rory said as she kept them from it.

"I think it had to do with Lorelai threatening to turn them into eunuchs if they let slip doll." Babette remarked.

"Threatening to castrate a man is a good way to keep him quiet. They went rather pale at the mention of it." Miss Patty added.

"Momma would think it was a good idea." Lane commented.

"My son and my brother know when to keep their mouths shut." Liz agreed.

"So good surprise?" Lorelai asked.

"Good surprise." Rory agreed.

"You want something to drink sweetie?" Sookie inquired.

"I'm fine." Rory replied.

"So we're going to play some games, eat, open some gifts, then make paper snowballs from the wrapping paper to throw at Michel."

"Sounds like fun." Rory agreed.

"I know we're not doing gifts yet." Lane said. "But Momma wanted me to give you this." Lane handed her a copy of the Bible.

"Tell her thank you." Rory replied. It wasn't the first Bible she had received from Mrs Kim over the years she had been friends with Lane.

"Also this pamphlet on the importance of Baptism."

"It's better than the ones she gave Jess." Rory commented.

"She likes you." Lane shrugged. "Although she strongly disapproves and threatened to lock me up in my room when she found out."

"Lane I kept expecting her to build a tower when you were younger." Lorelai rolled her eyes.

"I don't think she read Sleeping Beauty or Rupunsel." Rory pointed out.

"Let's play a game." Sookie suggested.

"How about baby pictionary?" Lorelai picked one of the games they had chosen.

"Baby pictionary?" Emily questioned.

"You have to draw the titles of books or movies or tv shows or songs that have the word baby in them somewhere." Lorelai explained. "It'll be fun Mom."

"If you say so Lorelai."

"I'll go first." Liz offered, she selected a piece of paper from the bowl. The selection was drawn up by Jess so Lorelai couldn't cheat. She stood by the board and read the paper.

Liz had selected a relatively easy one, Three Men and a Baby. It didn't take long for Lane to guess. Then it was her turn.

Attempting to draw Baby Got Back resulted in some fun guesses. The games continued.
