"You look like you cold do with this." Rory looked up from the seat in the waiting room to see her husband holding out a cup of coffee to her.
"Thanks." She took it from him. "What are you doing here it's 2am?"
"I hadn't heard from you so I thought I'd come by and check on my cousins / brother and sister – in-law."
"She was only at 6 centimetres." Rory replied. "But the doctor wanted to check on their heartbeats so they kicked me out."
"I'm sure everything will be fine." Jess squeezed her hand.
"Where's Libby?"
"Asleep at Sookie's. She's going to watch her tonight. She was having a great time with Davy and Martha."
"Okay." Rory replied. "But they would have been in bed for hours."
"She's been playing there since just after you left."
"Why?" Rory inquired.
"I was kind of busy."
"With what?"
"You can't move with twins."
"You packed up the rest of the house?" Rory guessed.
"Try we packed up everything that couldn't be left where it was to be moved. We kept clothes in drawers, that kind of thing and moved it all over to the Twickham house. They might want to re-arrange the furniture but it's all in the rooms it's supposed to be in, or at least the room it came from."
"You moved them?"
"It only took 8 hours." Jess replied.
"You said we?"
"It turns out if you live in a small town where everyone knows everyone you can usually find people willing to help on short notice. The house is empty; I think we're going to need more furniture before we move in."
"I love you." Rory kissed him.
"I love you too, but watch the coffee." Rory held the coffee cup between and her hand had been over his lap.
"Sorry." Rory moved it.
"Did your mother ever figure out what she was going to call your sister?" Jess asked.
"Casey." Rory replied. "Luke made her tell him in the car before we got here and they gave her drugs."
"At least she didn't pull a Michael Jackson."
"Mom and I had that conversation before." Rory recalled.
"Three generations of Lorelai Gilmores is enough for any family."
"They are Danes's." Rory pointed out.
"There will still be plenty of Gilmore in there. Trust me."
Rory yawned.
"Looks like you had good timing with the coffee."
"Why don't you try and get some sleep I'll wake you up if there is any news?" Jess suggested.
"They'll be out in a minute or two. I'll just drink the coffee."
"Okay." Jess agreed.
The doctor let Rory back in a few minutes later. Lorelai was hooked up to two foetal monitors.
"How are you doing?"
"Okay." Lorelai replied. "They want to keep an eye on the heartbeats."
"Okay." Rory squeezed her hand. "Jess is outside."
"Where's Libby?" Lorelai asked.
"With Sookie." Rory replied. "He's got something to tell you both if you don't mind if he comes in for a minute."
"There's about five minutes." Lorelai told her.
Rory went and dragged Jess into the room.
"Hey." Jess said.
"Rory said you wanted to tell us something." Luke explained.
"Keys." Jess held out the keeps to the Twickham house.
"Keys?" Lorelai questioned.
"Luke said you wanted to be moved before the twins were born. It's done."
"You moved everything?" Luke asked.
"He rounded up half the town to help him." Rory explained proudly.
"Everything is pretty much where it was in the old house so you should be able to find it. You may want to move the furniture around. You need to figure out your cable hook up and the contents of your refrigerator and freezer are at the dinner. You're supposed to let it settle for twenty-fours after you move it."
"I'd hug you but I'm kind of busy." Lorelai stated.
"You packed, moved and unpacked?" Luke asked.
"When you have twenty people there it doesn't take long." Jess shrugged. "I'll be outside."
