"God I missed this." Rory laid face down on the bed, as Jess dumped Rory's bag and the diaper bag on the floor; he still had Libby in her car seat in the other hand.
"The bed?" Jess questioned.
"Lying on my stomach. Don't put her on the table." She said when Jess was about to set it on the table. "She might fall off."
"Rory she's strapped in, I wasn't going to put her on the edge and she's three days old so I don't think she knows how to bounce up and down so it moves." Jess said putting her on the floor.
"Thank you." Rory closed her eyes.
"Not taking your coat off?"
"No." Rory replied.
Libby picked that moment to wake up.
"I've got her." Jess told Rory.
"Check her diaper; she ate before we left so she probably isn't hungry."
"Hey Lib." Jess upstrapped her before gently lifting her out. "We'll get you out that coat."
"Keep the hat on." Rory told him.
"I know."
There was a tap on the door.
"Yup?" Rory said.
"Mind if I come in?" Lorelai asked.
"She just woke." Jess explained. "And Rory's trying to sleep."
"Probably wants her diaper changed." Lorelai suggested.
"Which I was just about to do." Jess went to change Libby's diaper and get her out of her coat.
"Didn't get much sleep last night huh?" Lorelai walked over to Rory.
"She was awake most of the night, but the nice nurse took her a few hours so I could get some sleep."
"Look forward to many nights of not sleeping." Lorelai told her.
"Do you know the best thing about not being pregnant anymore?"
"Not feeling like a beached whale?"
"No."
"Not needing to pee all the time."
"No."
"What then?"
"Lying on my stomach." Rory replied.
"I think the others are better but each to their own."
"You okay over there?" She called to Jess.
"Fine."
"Jess is official diaper changer." Lorelai stated.
"Works for me." Rory agreed.
"Where is the camera?" Lorelai mouthed to Rory.
"Diaper bag." Rory replied.
Lorelai grabbed it and took a photograph of Jess and Libby.
"You're grandmother is a dead woman." Jess told Libby.
"We need to come up with an alternative name; I'm too young to be a grandma." Lorelai stated.
"She won't talk for a while you have time." Rory pointed out.
"All done." Jess gently picked Libby up; she had settled the moment Jess had taken her diaper off. He straightened her hat.
"I bought you a couple of days with Babette and Miss Patty." Lorelai informed them.
"Thanks." Rory yawned.

Rory woke up from her nap a few hours later.
"Hey look Mommy is awake." Jess said as she came around the corner.
"Hey." Rory smiled. "How are you two doing?"
"We're just reading." Jess replied as he gently rocked in the rocking chair.
"You're not trying to convince her of the wonders of Hemingway are you?" Rory asked.
"No, Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice." Jess answered.
"How's she been?"
"She keeps drifting in an out." Jess replied. "I didn't want to wake her up by putting her to bed."
"You just like holding her." Rory peaked at their daughter.
"That too."
"You big softie." Rory gave him a kiss. "Keep reading she obviously likes it."
