"It looks like we're getting company." Rory stated seeing her family approaching. "Do you want to tell them?"

"You can, or wait for them to notice the ring." Jess suggested.

"Lib, go to Daddy." Rory handed her over. "I'm going to get hugged."

"Are we interrupting?" Luke asked.

"No." Rory replied.

"My baby graduated college." Lorelai hugged her. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks Mom. How are you doing?"

"I'll be glad when my bladder stops being a punch bag."

"I remember that, but I didn't get it in stereo." Rory remarked.

"We're all proud of you Rory." Luke told her.

"Thanks Luke."

"Down Daddy." Libby requested.

"I'm going to take her over there to run around for five minutes." Jess told the group.

"Okay." Rory agreed.

"We're very proud of you." Emily gave her a hug.

"Congratulations Rory." Richard added.

"Thank you." Rory smiled.

"What are you going to do now?" Richard inquired.

"Enjoy the summer before grad school." Rory replied. "And maybe talk Jess into taking Libby on a vacation."

"Any ideas where?" Emily asked.

"Maybe Texas. Then again it may be a little too hot for Libby. We'll figure something."

"Oh." Lorelai said experiencing a big tandem.

"Hey this is your big sister talking. Behave." Rory patted the bump.

"Something you forgot to tell us?" Lorelai asked grabbing her hand after spotting the ring.

"Grandpa knows a decent jeweller?" Rory offered.

"You knew about this Richard?" Emily asked.

"Jess contacted me and asked if I knew a jeweller who be able to assist him with purchasing a ring without over charging him."

"He has good taste." Lorelai commented.

"Libby helped him pick it."

"He took Libby with him? That's so sweet."

"She actually gave me the ring." Rory replied.

"Congratulations Rory." Luke told her.

"Thanks."

"I'm going to check on Jess." He kissed his wife's cheek before he walked away.

Luke walked over to Jess's side where he had stripped off his suit jacket and tie and was watching Libby run around in circles on the grass.

"Hey." Luke stepped up by his side.

"Hey." Jess echoed. "You have this to look forward too."

"So I've heard."

"You'll just have two to drive each other crazy."

"So you proposed."

"I figured it was time." Jess shrugged.

"Interesting timing."

"Graduation seemed to work." Jess replied.

"What happened to the fear that…"

"We managed three years." Jess shrugged again. "I finally managed to get enough royalties to pay for it outright."

"Your book is doing pretty well."

"It is. The second one is almost done before edits and rewrites."

"You're doing pretty well for yourself."

"Please don't tell me this is going where I think it's going. You're not going to give the father lecture, because you can save it for your kid if one of them is a girl. I still don't know why Lorelai didn't want to find out."

"I already know." Luke admitted.

"What?"

"I asked the nurse while she was in the bathroom."

"So?"

"One of each." Luke replied.

"How do you feel about that?" Jess inquired.

"I'll survive." Luke stated.

"You get used to the sleepless nights. Hey Lib don't try to eat grass."
