Rory lay in Jess's arms as he mumbled in his sleep. It took her a few minutes to realise he wasn't actually mumbling at random, he was reciting the lyrics to Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Rory gently crept out of bed and went to the bathroom. Afterwards she poured herself some juice and then checked on Libby.

Libby was wide awake and watching the mobile above her head.

"Hey Lib." Rory picked her up. "Did you decide to let Daddy wake Mommy up today?" Libby wasn't fussing so she wasn't in need of a diaper change or hungry. "How about we try and find Daddy's song?"

Rory looked over at Jess who was still mumbling lyrics.

Rory with Libby in one arm found the CD she was looking for and put it into the stereo and hit repeat when she reached the track she wanted and turned the volume down low.

The gentle sound of Simon and Garfunkel filled the apartment.

Jess woke up on the third play through of the song.

"Isn't it a little early for Simon and Garfunkel?" Jess asked.

"Hey Lib do you think it's too early since Daddy woke Mommy up mumbling the lyrics for the past twenty minutes?"

"What?"

"You were mumbling the lyrics of Bridge Over Troubled Water into the back of neck; it took me a few minutes to figure out what it was."

"I didn't hear her wake up."

"She was already awake watching her mobile." Rory replied. "I'm going to get her fed and dressed, then can you watch her while I take a shower and get dressed?"

"How about I take a shower while you feed her and then I can get her dressed while you take your shower?"

"Just don't use all the hot water." Rory told him.

"Okay." Jess climbed out of bed. "I won't be long."

Jess was out of the shower by the time Rory was done feeding Libby.

"Do you want me to hold her while you get dressed?" Rory asked.

"How about you put her in her bouncing chair while I get dressed and I'll get her dressed for the day when I'm done?"

"Just don't flash the baby; it might cause irreparable mental damage." Rory told him.

"What about you?" Jess inquired.

"I think I'm past that stage." Rory replied.

"So what are your plans for today?" Jess inquired as Rory used the hairdryer to dry her hair after her shower.

"I thought I'd go and talk to Lane, and then see Reverend Skinner."

"Okay."

"Then I thought I'd take Libby to see Yale and talk to Paris."

"I don't think she'll really appreciate the architecture quite yet." Jess remarked.

"Paris has only seen her a few times and it will be nice to visit Yale again."

"You'll be going back in a few months."

"I know." Rory sighed.

"You are going back aren't you?"

"Yes. I'm just not sure how leaving Libby all day is going to feel." Rory admitted.

"I'll be with her, she'll be fine."

"I still get to be the paranoid new mom."

"I know." Jess smiled.

"And I thought I'd drop by and see Grandma on the way back."

"We only saw her a few days ago."

"I know." Rory replied. "But I thought I'd stop by."

"Okay. So you'll be back sometime late afternoon." Jess guessed.

"Something like that." Rory replied. "Can you get the bottom of the stroller out for me?"

"Of course." Jess told her. "But then I have to get to work."

"Do you want anything while we're out?" Rory asked.

"No, I was going to run to Doosie's later so I'll grab what we need there."

"We don't need diapers." Rory told him.

"I know you bulk ordered them off the internet."

"It's a good way to save money considering how many diapers she goes through." Rory countered.

"I know. I'll see you downstairs before you're ready to go. She's happy for now."

"Okay." Rory agreed.
