"Hey." Rory came up behind Jess and poked him in the ribs.

"Hey."

"My grandparents are going to take us all out to dinner to celebrate."

"Okay. I guess I need to put my tie back on. Are you going to tell her?" Jess asked.

"Tell me what?" Rory questioned.

"Can you keep a secret from your mother?" Luke inquired.

"That sounds interesting."

"Luke knows whether you're getting brothers or sisters." Jess told her.

"How did you find that out?" Rory asked.

"The nurse told me."

"You've known for a month?"

"Your mother decided to pull a Jackson." Luke shrugged. "Which considering she is one of the most impatient people I know odd."

"So?" Rory prompted.

"You're getting a brother and a sister."

Rory flung her arms around Luke's neck and hugged him.

"That's great."

"You know you're mother could think this is a little strange." Luke pointed out.

"I just got engaged you can give me a hug." Rory countered.

"Hey Lib." Jess crouched down. "We're going eat are you coming with us?"

"Chocolate?" Libby ran over to him. She had inherited her mother and grandmother's sweet tooth.

"Maybe later if you eat all your dinner like a good girl." Jess picked her up.

"Let's go." Rory suggested.

"I guess Mommy had a long day." Jess said to Libby. Rory had flaked out on the couch.

"Shush." Libby whispered loudly.

"Nice try. It's time for your bath."

Jess got Libby ready for bed and settled her down with a story.

"Mommy will be here to kiss you good night soon." He whispered as he tucked her in.

He walked over and shook Rory's shoulder.

"Wakey wakey."

"I fell asleep on the couch." Rory said.

"See that Yale education came in handy." Jess teased. "Time for a bath and bed for you too Ms Gilmore."

"Libby already in bed?"

"Yes. I'll run you a bath while you go and kiss her good night. If you're really good I'll read you a story too."

"As much as I like you reading to me, I can think of something better to do." Rory winked at him.

"I'm sure that would disappoint Charlotte."

"Charlotte?" Rory questioned.

"Of Charlotte's Web fame."

"She can wait until tomorrow." Rory grabbed him and kissed him. "Join me in the bath."

"Kiss the baby and I'll run the water."

"You know it really is a beautiful ring." Rory said looking at it.

"Well you're beautiful."

"You're getting lucky anyway." Rory reminded him.

"Take the way it was meant as a compliment." Jess suggested.

"Well you have good taste in jewellery."

"Diamonds are very expensive. So unless I suddenly become Dan Brown it's probably the only one you'll get."

"You're definitely a lot cuter than Dan Brown." Rory told him.

"Always good to know." Jess agreed. "But do you even know what he looks like?"

"His photo was in Time magazine." Rory replied. "I love you."

"I love you too. Baby and then the bath."

"You're pushy." Rory remarked.

"That's because there is a rumour I'm getting lucky." Jess kissed her.
