"Blue?" Rory asked. "It's supposed to be soothing."
"Depends on the shade." Jess replied.
"It's sort of denimy."
"Stonewash, bleached, indigo?" Jess asked.
"Just general denim." Rory showed him the paint chip.
"Fine, paint the bathroom blue."
"We'll need accessories."
"I'm here to shop for furniture and paint, accessories bring you mother."
"My mother has a job and twins." Rory countered.
"So Libby and I will watch the twins." Jess shrugged.
"It surprising how good she is with them."
"You probably don't want to know what she asked me earlier."
"What?"
"She wants to know if she can have a baby sister."
"What did you tell her?"
"That it wasn't going to happen right now, maybe in a few years but until then she had Will and Casey to play with and unlike little sisters she could go home and wouldn't have to share her toys at the end of the day."
"How did she take that?"
"She's two and half she accepted it."
"No more kids until after I finish school." Rory stated.
"I know." Jess agreed. "How many more were you thinking?"
"Two maybe." Rory replied. "As long as there isn't a twenty year gap."
"I don't think Lorelai planned it that way." Jess pointed out.
"I know. I could handle being pregnant when I was, but not through grad school."
"I wasn't the one who bought up having more kids Libby was." Jess reminded her.
"Right."
"So what colour do you want to pain Libby's room?"

Lane was sat with Libby on her bed reading Goodnight Moon when Jess and Rory got back.
"Hey baby." Rory whispered from the doorway.
"Mommy." Libby replied sleepily.
"We're just reading Goodnight Moon." Lane explained.
"We're going to let Auntie Lane finish the book, Daddy and I will be in to kiss you good night later." Rory told her.
"Okay." Libby agreed. She snuggled into her pillow while Lane picked up where she'd left off.
"They're Goodnight Moon-ing." Rory told Jess when she walked into the kitchen where Jess was making coffee.
"Lane has good taste in classic bed time stories." Jess commented.
"I know." Rory agreed.
"How do you feel about painting tomorrow?" Jess asked.
"How about you paint and Libby and I will find something else to do?" Rory countered.
"The furniture is coming on Wednesday so we need to get most of it done by then."
"Okay, how about Libby and I tape the rooms while you paint?"
"That will work." Jess agreed.
"And hopefully not get the kid covered in too much paint."
"Now where's the fun in that." Jess kissed her.

A/N: I spent all day feeling lousy so this is as much as you get today; I didn't feel up to writing more.
