Lorelai looked up when there was a tap on the door.

"It's open." Lorelai called.

"Hey, I thought I'd come and see if everything was okay up here." Luke said coming in.

"Libby and I were just playing with her nice play gym." Lorelai said from where she was sitting on the floor watching the baby.

"Okay." Luke replied.

"But since you're here can you watch her for a minute while I go to the bathroom?"

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"I'll be two minutes and eight feet away. You'll be fine."

"Right." Luke definitely looked uncertain.

It was ten seconds after Lorelai closed the door that Libby started to cry.

"You just had to wait until your grandmother has gone don't you." Luke sat down the floor. "Please don't cry." Libby was still crying. "I guess you want picking up."

Luke reluctantly picked her up.

"Luke she's not a football." Lorelai said when opened the door to find Luke holding Libby out in front of him.

"She started crying."

"I heard. She'd prefer it to be drooling on your shoulder. It's okay to give her a hug."

"Why don't you take her?" Luke suggested.

"Give her a hug." Lorelai crossed her arms.

Luke reluctantly moved Libby into his body to hold her against him.

"Okay, I think she needs her diaper changed." Luke pulled a face.

"So change her diaper." Lorelai stated. Luke looked at her. "You don't know how." She guessed. "I'll talk you through it."

"Lorelai."

"If I can manage it at 16 you can manage just fine." Lorelai told him.

Luke managed to get to his feet and laid Libby on the changing table.

"You have to undo the poppers and carefully take her feet out, and then pull it up so you can take off the dirty diaper."

Luke did as she instructed as Lorelai got a clean diaper ready and then talked him through the rest of the process.

"Now just redress her and then we're done." Lorelai smiled. "See it wasn't too hard was it?"

Rory giggled something Jess had said as they came up the stairs and opened the door.

Lorelai was sat on the couch with Libby sleeping in her arms.

"Hey Mom, how's she been?"

"She's been a little angel. Luke changed her diaper."

"Please tell us you have pictures." Jess begged.

"Of course. Have a nice time?"

"I got a really nice dress for the baptism." Rory replied.

"Good movie?"

"Not bad." Jess responded.

"We actually ran into someone at the cinema who wanted me to say hi."

"Who?" Lorelai inquired.

"Max."

"As in Max Max?" Lorelai questioned.

"No as in Mad Max; Mel Gibson felt like dressing up."

"Wow." Lorelai said. "How was he?"

"He's fine." Rory replied. "He asked how you were, about school. I had to tell him I was taking the semester off and about Libby. He was a little surprised."

"Hun, I was a little surprised."

"He said to tell you hello." Rory told her. "Then he had to get to his movie."

"It's odd that he was at a movie in the middle of the day especially a school day."

"He probably had the afternoon off." Rory suggested.

"This close to graduation, school gives out in a week or so?"

"I don't know." Rory shrugged. "Do you want me to take her?"

"I'm fine." Lorelai replied. "Why don't you show me what you bought?"
