Rory came out of her mother's room about an hour looking slightly distressed.
"Everything okay?" Jess inquired.
"One of the heartbeats has dropped lower than they'd like and it's not which everyone would be born first so they are going to do a c-section." Rory told him.
"Remember what they told us, if they needed to they can get the baby out in sixty seconds." Jess reminded her. "How are they taking it?"
"Mom's being rational about it. Luke's gone pale and …"
"Everything will be okay." Jess pulled her onto his lap. "They know what they are doing."
"I know, but it's my Mom and they are my brother and sister and I didn't really have… I'm… there's Gigi but we only met a couple times and…"
Jess kissed her to interrupt her babbling.
"Everything will be fine. In a while you get to be the cool big sister. You get to teach them to have a decent taste in books, music, get them hyped up on sugar and send them back to your mother like she does to us when she insists on feeding Libby pop tarts for lunch."
"I like pop tarts. Libby likes pop tarts." Rory countered.
"You're their big sister and they'll love you. I mean how many kids get to have a niece who is 2 ½ years old than them that they can play with?"
"True."
"And you've got to think of how much fun we'll get watching Luke try and cope with two screaming babies at once."
Rory managed a smile.
"It'll be fine."
Jess kissed her forehead.
It was thirty minutes before Luke came over to them dressed in blue scrubs.
"Rory." Jess nodded in that direction.
"So?" Rory hopped off Jess's lap.
"They're perfect." Luke replied. "Ten fingers and toes each. William weighs 6lbs exactly and Casey 6lbs 2."
"Mom?"
"She's fine too. They're going to keep her here for about four days."
"Can we see her?" Rory inquired.
"Probably not for an hour or so." Luke replied.
"Congratulations." Rory hugged him.
"Thanks. I need to get back."
"Tell Mom I love her."
"I will."
"Congratulations." Jess added.
Luke headed back to his wife and children.
"So you're a big sister." Jess teased Rory.
"You have cousins; our daughter has an aunt and uncle." Rory countered.
"I should call Sookie." Jess stated. "I promised I'd call her whatever time when we knew anything."
"Grandma." Rory sank down into the chair next to him.
"What about your grandmother?" Jess asked.
"We didn't call her."
"Want me to call her?" Jess offered.
"You really want to throw yourself on that fire?" Rory asked.
"I'll take one for the team." Jess replied. "You call Sookie."
"I love you."
"I love you too." He kissed her. "We have phone calls to make."
