Disclaimer: I meant the story is mine...not the show...

Lorelai laid in bed close to Luke. She couldn't sleep, so she thought maybe if she scooted closer to Luke she would, but after 30 minutes of laying against him she still couldn't fall asleep. She tried everything, counting sheep, watching Tv, reading a book, everything, and still nothing worked. Lorelai moved away from him, pulled back the blankets and stepped out of bed.

"Where you going?" Luke mumbled raising his head.

"Downstairs, for some water."

"Okay." Luke replied replacing his head on the pillow, eyes closed.

Lorelai stood up, walked the short distance to the door, opened it, stepped out, quietly closing the door behind her. She started down the stairs one hand on the rail, the other on her stomach. She tiptoed into the kitchen, past Rory's old room and to the fridge, where she took out some ice cream. She grabbed a plastic fork, which she could throw away of course, sat down at the table and began eating her carton of Rocky Road.

An hour and a half later Luke woke up to find the bed empty. He crawled out of the bed and down stairs. He entered the kitchen, and found Lorelai asleep, carton of Rocky Road next to her, spoon in it. Luke took the carton and the spoon, put them away, then gently woke Lorelai.

"What?" Lorelai mumbled sleep thick in her voice.

"You need to go to bed."

"I was." Lorelai replied.

"No, you were asleep on the kitchen table, Rocky Road next to you." Luke gently pulled her up. "Come on, lets go upstairs to bed."

"Dirty." Lorelai mumbled giggling.

"Ah jeez." Luke replied pulling her up the stairs towards the bedroom. Once inside he pulled back the blankets and let her lay down. He covered her up, kissed her forehead then left into the bathroom to get ready for work, after all it was 4:45 in the morning.

Rory turned over in bed and opened her blue eyes to look at her husband. She gently placed a hand on his face and smiled. He was so peaceful when he was asleep.

"What are you doing Ace?" Logan asked keeping his eyes closed.

Rory jumped back not expecting Logan to be awake. "Logan!" Rory yelled holding her hand to her chest.

"Did I scare you?" He asked eyes still closed.

"God yes."

Logan just chuckled and opened his eyes. "Hey there Ace."

Rory smiled. "Morning."

"What's your schedule for today?" Logan asked rubbing Rory's arm as she began to mumble off her days plan.

"Well, Lorie has an appointment at 9:00 with the doctor. Then afterwards I'm going to drop her off at Preschool, then head over to the paper, finish my latest story." She took a breath. "Then eat lunch, work on my other story, call the doctor about some stuff, then I'm going to see if I can take two weeks off next month so we can spend some time together."

Logan looked up at Rory. "Sounds great Ace."

"You weren't listening to anything I was saying." Rory accused.

"Yes I was." Logan defended. "You said something about eating lunch, asking to take off work. You're the boss, you can take off." Logan paused letting her words fill his mind. "Why are you calling the doctor?"

"Nothing, just nothing." Rory said shaking her head as she got up. "I better start getting ready. I have one hour before we have to leave."

Logan watched Rory walk off towards the bathroom, suspicion lurking in his mind.

Lorelai rolled over and pulled the blankets tighter around her. She noticed no body next to her. She opened her eyes to be looking straight into the eyes of her youngest daughter.

"Morning mommy." Katie smiled pulling herself onto the bed.

"Morning yourself bright eye." Lorelai smiled pushing curls out of her daughters face. "Why you up so early?"

"It's not early." Katie replied.

Lorelai moved so where she could see the alarm clock. "Oh my God! It's 12:00! Where is your father?"

"Downstairs." Katie replied.

"Lord!" Lorelai sighed jumping out of bed. "Come on lets get downstairs." Lorelai replied shuffling Katie off the bed and down the stairs.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" Lorelai asked walking into the kitchen clad in striped pj bottoms and a maternity pink pajama top.

"Of course." Luke said looking up from the dishes. "It's 12:00."

"And you didn't even think to wake me up?" Lorelai accused.

"Yes, but then I thought you might want to sleep in since you have a doctors appointment for the babies."

Lorelai looked at him confused. "What do you mean appointment for the babies?"

"The doctor called to remind us that your appointment was at 4:00 today, and since you were asleep I thought why not let you sleep until around lunch time so you wouldn't be so grumpy."

"Well aren't you just handy dandy." Lorelai replied plopping down into the chair next to Katie. "I can't believe I forgot all about the appointment."

"Well, you did." Luke replied. "Go get in the shower, we're leaving in an hour."

"At one?" Lorelai asked. "I'm hungry."

"We're picking up Kaleb, then going to go eat."

"The kids are going with us to the appointment?"

"No, we're dropping them off at Sookie's."

"Lord, you have it all planned out."

"Yes I do, now go get ready."

Sookie walked to the door as it rang. She knew it would be Luke with Kaleb and Katie.

"Hello!" Sookie smiled looking at Luke who had Katie in his arms.

"Hi Sookie." Luke replied. "Thanks again for watching the two."

"Oh, I don't mind. They can keep my two rambunctious ones entertained."

"How are Davey and Martha? Haven't seen them in a while."

"They miss Uncle Luke."

Luke smiled. He leaned down and sat Katie on the ground. "Okay you two." Luke said looking at Kaleb and Katie. "You two mind Aunt Sookie and Uncle Jackson."

"We will." Kaleb answered. "Bye Daddy."

Luke waved as they ran off to find 9 year old Davey and 8 year old Martha.

"Thanks again Sookie, it means a lot."

"No problem."

"I'll be back around 8:00 to pick them up."

"Okay." Sookie said shutting the door as Luke walked off towards the truck. "Bye."

Luke jumped back into the truck and looked over at his sleeping pregnant wife. "On to the doctors we go."

Rory pulled into the doctor's office, shut off her BMW and got out. She grabbed her purse and started off towards the office. She went inside, signed her name and sat down to wait.

15 minutes later a black headed nurse called her. Rory stood up and walked with the nurse down the hall to the changing room. She quickly changed into the opened back gown, which her mother would hate, and made her way into a room. The doctor came in a few minutes later.

"Lorelai Huntzberger?" The doctor called as he walked into the room.

"Yes." Rory replied sitting up.

"You're Lorelai Huntzberger?" The doctor asked looking at her closely.

"Yes sir." Rory smiled. "But everyone calls me Rory."

"I see, so what can I do for you?" The doctor asked setting the folder of papers on the counter and sitting down on a chair.

"Well, my old gynecologist is retiring and he recommended you."

"And that's the only thing you're here for? To have a check up?" The doctor asked while putting her feet into the stirrups.

"Well yes, and..." Rory trails off.

"And what?" The doctor asks putting gloves on.

"To find out if I'm...I'm..."

The doctor motions for her to lay down. "Well let me take a look and then you can ask me that question." The doctor starts checking her out, but stops. "It looks as if you're pregnant. About three weeks along."

Rory pops up. "I'm pregnant?"

The doctor looks up at her and smiles. "Congratulations, you're pregnant."

Luke pulled into the parking lot and stopped the truck. He looked over at Lorelai, and saw that she was still asleep. He gently roused her awake and she looked up at him, blue eyes shining.

"Where are we?" She asked rubbing her eyes.

"Doctor's." Luke stated simply.

"I'm tired."

"I see that."

"I guess we should go in." She said raising up and running her fingers through her hair. "Do I look alright?"

Luke smiled at her. "You look amazing."

Lorelai smiled back. "You are a charmer." She mumbled as she opened the door and carefully got out.

Luke was surrounded by too many hormones. He had his wife, and that was enough. But here, in the waiting room there was about 5 other pregnant women, and he was the only male. His nerves were at the brink.

Lorelai sat quietly flipping through a magazine, one hand on Luke's knee.

"You alright?" Lorelai asked after the tenth time of Luke moving.

"Yea, just fine." Luke replied.

"You sure, 'cause your acting as if you have ants in your pants." Lorelai chuckled.

Luke just looked at her.

"Lorelai Danes?" The nurse called.

Lorelai smiled at Luke, stood up, grabbed his hand, and walked towards the nurse.

The nurse showed them down the hall into a room.

"The doctor would like to do a sonagram so she could see if we can tell the sex, could you please take off all your clothes, except your underclothes, thank you."

"I guess we'll find out what our babies are." Lorelai smiled, looking over at Luke.

"I guess we will."

Lorelai quickly shed her clothes and slipped on a gown. She laid down, with the help of Luke, on the table and waited for the doctor.

"So what do you want?" Lorelai asked turning her head to look over at Luke.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, do you want one boy, one girl, two boys, or two girls." Lorelai asked seriously.

"I don't really care." Luke replied.

"So if I had two aliens you wouldn't care at all."

"Well, if you had two aliens, that would mean that you cheated on me with some alien, so they really wouldn't be mine."

"One of each." Lorelai mumbled looking at the ceiling.

"What?"

"I want one of each."

"We have one of each."

"Yes, but I want Katie to have a sister, and Kaleb to have a brother."

"Katie has a sister."

"No she don't."

"Rory."

"Yea, but Rory is older. Katie is four."

"Age difference."

"Big one." Lorelai replied.

"Knock. Knock." Doctor Lace called opening the door. "You ready for me?"

"Yes Doctor." Lorelai smiled.

"Well, I here that you're wanting to find out the sex of your babies."

"That's right." Lorelai called from her laying position.

"Good." Doctor Lace looked over at Luke. "How's daddy?"

Luke smiled. "Good."

"That's good." Lace replied walking around to Lorelais' feet. "We always like the daddy's to be happy during a pregnancy." She sat down the clipboard on the counter behind herandlooked over at Lorelai. "So, we're going to start with the sonagram." The doctor pulled the machine around to the side of Lorelai. She plugged it in, grabbed the jelly and rubbed it on Lorelais' very big stomach. "You sure are big for only being 5 months pregnant. If I'm notmistaken you may be having triplets."

Lorelai looked over at Luke. She didn't want triplets. It was bad enough to pop out one, then two, and now three? No way.

"This is going to feel a little funny at first, I'm going take a few pictures then determine what the sex is." Doctor Lace began moving the wand. All eyes were on the screen, then something that looked something like a deformed baby popped on the screen. "There's one of them." Lace said snapping the picture. "It looks as if it's a..." She looks closer. "A boy. You're having a boy."

Lorelai looked over at Luke. Luke smiled back at her.

"And here's the other one." The doctor announced. "You are not having triplets."

"Thank God." Lorelai sighed.

"This little bugger looks as if it's a..."

Rory pulled into the garage and got out of her car. She walked into the house, dropped her purse and keys on the kitchen counter and walked into the livingroom.

"Logan? Lorie?" Rory called walking up the stairs towards Lorie's room. She peaked inside, but no Lorie. "Logan?" Rory called again looking into their room. No Logan in site. "Where is everyone?" Rory plopped down onto the bed hands on her stomach. "I have some big news."

A/N: Okay there it is. The second chapter of this story. Ummm...well I guess I could tell you the reason the chapter is called "One For The Money, Two For The Show...". I named it that because I felt like it. No point really. I just always here my granddaddy saying, "One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, and Four to go!". I thought 'Hey why not?'! Okay there it is. R&R Please (INSERT POUTY FACE HERE)
