"Moving when you're eight and a half months pregnant is a bad idea." Lorelai stated.
"You're sat on a couch watching me pack your things into boxes." Luke countered.
"Because you won't let me help." Lorelai reminded him.
"Because you're eight and a half months pregnant." Luke grabbed the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Lorelai asked.
"Hello." The person on the other end answered.
"Rory, it's Luke."
"Hey Luke." Rory greeted him.
"Could we do an exchange? Jess can help me pack while you keep your mother driving me crazy?"
"Bring her over, Jess is just reading anyway."
"We won't be long. Goodbye." Luke hung up. "You're going to stay with Rory so I can get this done."
"But…"
"No buts Lorelai. It will be less stressful for all concerned."

Jess's cell phone rang a few hours later.
"Hey Rory." He answered after seeing her name flash up on the caller id.
"Hey. I need you to keep calm."
"Why?"
"Mom's gone into labour. I need you tell Luke and get him to bring her bag over. I'll drive them to the hospital if you can watch Libby."
"Sure." Jess agreed.
"I'll see you soon."
Jess hung up.
"So are you looking forward to impending fatherhood?" Jess asked Luke who had just come in from getting more boxes from the garage.
"Let's get packed and moved and then I'll worry about it." Luke replied.
"A little piece of advice. Babies come with their own schedules."
"Okay."
"Yours picked now."
"What?"
"Rory just called. Lorelai is in labour." Jess explained.
"What!" Luke repeated.
"You need to grab Lorelai's bag. Rory is going to drive you to hospital."
"What?"
"I know they are twins but you really don't want to miss this. Although you may get a broken hand." Jess told him.
In the end Jess had to grab Lorelai's bag and ushered Luke out the door and drove him over to the apartment. Rory had already brought Lorelai down and had her sitting in the car while she stood by it holding Libby.
"Call me with an update." Jess requested.
"I will." Rory gave him a quick kiss. "Bye Lib, be good."
"Grandma ouch." Libby said when they pulled away.
"Grandma will be fine." Jess assured Libby. "I'm not sure about Grandpa Luke." Jess thought for a moment. "Let's go and do something nice for them.

"Jess." Sookie was surprised to see him on her doorstep. "Hey Libby."
"Sookie." Libby smiled.
"Lorelai went into labour."
"Do you need to watch Libby?" Sookie guessed.
"If you don't mind. Is Jackson busy?"
"Jackson?" Sookie was a little confused.
"They still haven't finished packing and moving." Jess explained. "I was going to see if I could round up a few people and get everything packed and moved. They're going to be busy and moving with twins would be a hassle."
"Jackson?" Sookie called.
"Yes Sookie?" Jackson appeared behind her.
"Lorelai is in labour and Jess is going to see if he can find some people to help move everything from the house over to the Twickham house. Can you help him?"
"Sure." Jackson agreed.
"Lib, I need you to stay with Aunt Sookie for a while." Jess told Libby.
"Okay." Libby agreed.
"There are some books and juice and snacks in the bag." Jess handed it to her.
"Come on in Libby."
