"Hey." Lorelai said to Luke.

"Hey."

"Bouncing baby girl, 8lb 5oz named Libby. She's perfect." Lorelai hugged him.

"How's Rory?"

"Sore and exhausted." Lorelai replied.

"Hey Jess how are you doing?" Luke inquired.

"I'll get back to you on that one. Can you call Liz there's something I need to do?"

"Sure." Luke agreed.

"Jess where are you going?" Lorelai asked as he walked off.

"I'll be back; I just need to do something." Jess said over his shoulder.

"Is he okay?" Luke asked Lorelai.

"I think it just hit him." Lorelai replied. "If he's not back in fifteen minutes go and find him."

"Okay." Luke agreed.

"So call Liz, I'll call Mom and Dad and Sookie, she can spread the word around town."

….

"Hello." Emily answered her phone.

"You're a great-grandmother."

"Lorelai?" Emily questioned.

"Yes Mom, how many other kids do you have with children who could make you great-grandmothers?"

"Rory had the baby." Emily concluded.

"8lbs 5oz, first name Lorelai, second name Elizabeth, but they're going to call her Libby. She's really cute Mom."

"Why didn't you call us before?"

"Because Rory didn't want a lot of people hanging around the hospital waiting. You can drop by later if you like." Lorelai gave her the name of the hospital and the floor not sure which room Rory was being moved to.

"Give Rory our congratulations and I will contact your father and let him know."

"Bye Mom." Lorelai hung up.

"I called Liz." Luke told her when she had gotten off the phone with Sookie. "She'll be here as soon as she can."

"Mom and Dad are coming by later. Sookie is going to pass the word out." Lorelai added. "Is Jess back yet?"

"No." Luke replied.

"Can you go and find him? Because I swear if he…"

"I'll find him." Luke interrupted.

When Luke finally tracked Jess down, he was sat outside the hospital on a bench.

"You do know it's snowing." Luke sat down next to him.

"I didn't notice." Jess replied.

"So what are you doing out here?" Luke inquired.

"Just getting some air." Jess answered.

"So Lorelai doesn't need to hunt you down and maim you?"

"I don't like hospitals and I just spent 18 hours getting yelled at and my hand almost broken I just needed some air. I'm going back in soon."

"Good." He paused. "So how does it feel?"

"Slightly surreal. She's a real little person and she looks just like Rory."

"That's probably a good thing." Luke shrugged. "Libby is a nice name."

"I knew Rory wanted to name to name her Lorelai from the time she found and naming her after Liz was nice too. So I can live with Libby."

"What's that?" Luke asked noticing the folded pink piece of gift wrap next to him.

"We were one short with the cranes, so I thought I'd make a large one."

"I'm sure Rory will appreciate it."

"Luke what if I can't do this?" Jess asked.

"You can." Luke sounded very adamant. "You'll figure out the details along the way but you can handle this, I have faith in you. Besides Rory and Libby need you."

"I know." Jess leant back against the bench.

"So what do you say we go back inside so you can hold your daughter?" Luke suggested.

"What if I drop her?"

"Try not to do that." Luke suggested.
