"Up to a few more visitors?" Jess tapped on Lorelai's hospital room he held Libby in his arms.

Lorelai held William and Rory held Casey or at least Jess presumed it was that way around given the colour hats they were wearing.

"Hey." Rory smiled.

"Mommy, Grandma." Libby declared.

"Shush." Jess set her on the floor. "Go say hello to your aunt."

Libby looked confused but ran over to Rory anyway.

"Libby, this is your aunt Casey. Can you say Casey?"

"Cas-E." Libby replied.

"Close enough for now." Lorelai suggested.

"I bought you a change of clothes Rory and one for Luke."

"Thanks." Rory replied.

"Where is Luke?"

"He went in search of food." Lorelai replied. "He's doing his whole hunter gather routine."

"Right. I bought you another visitor but they got slightly distracted by the balloons in the gift shop."

"Who?"

"Sweetie." Sookie came through the door holding a handle of balloons. "Congratulations."

"Sookie." Lorelai smiled.

"And I'll just go and find Luke." Jess excused himself.

"How are you?"

"Sore, tired, happy." Lorelai replied. "This is William and that's Casey."

"Lib, you can't poke her." Rory warned her daughter. "You wouldn't like it if someone poked you."

"Sorry." Libby apologised.

"They're beautiful." Sookie commented. "I'm so happy for you."

"Sookie, thank you for watching Libby yesterday and last night." Rory thanked her.

"You're welcome and it's not everyday Jess turns up on my doorstep and asks me to watch Libby and to borrow Jackson." Sookie replied. "The house looks great."

"I can't believe he did that."

"The Jess who moved to town five years ago wouldn't have." Sookie pointed out.

"Jess grew up a long time ago." Rory stated. "Do you want to hold her?"

"Of course."

"This feels familiar." Jess found Luke sat on a bench outside the hospital.

"What?" Luke turned his head to look at him.

"I remember you finding me out here after Libby was born."

"I'm just getting some air."

"So was I. But you threatened to kill me if I was planning on running."

"I don't like hospitals." Luke stated.

"Most people don't, unless you work there. I brought Sookie with me to visit."

"I'm sure Lorelai will appreciate it." He paused. "The Gilmore's stopped by."

"I don't think Emily appreciated me waking her up to tell her she was a grandmother again."

"You didn't have to call her I could have done it."

"You were busy." Jess shrugged. "So how does it feel?"

"I can't describe it."

"Sounds about right." Jess smiled. "You'll be fine; it just takes some getting used to. We've got the diner covered for a few days."

"Thanks."

"Here." Jess handed him the bag he was carrying.

"What is it?"

"I left your change of clothes in Lorelai's room, but I thought you'd like to open this."

Luke opened the bag and pulled out the two items wrapped in tissue paper. He unwrapped one of them, inside was a baby baseball cap in pink, it had Danes written on it. The other one was identical except for it was blue.

"Lorelai will get a kick out of these."

"There are matching shirts but I'm not sure where Rory put them."

"Thanks."

"You know Lorelai thinks you went for food." Jess pointed out.

"I will I just need some more air."

"I'll wait with you."
