I woke up and glanced over at the clock, it was after 10, I didn't have to go to work until 1 and I was taking advantage of being able to sleep in. Lately I had been so exhausted it seemed like all of my free time was spent sleeping, at least the morning or in my case night sickness had started to subside.

I placed a hand on my stomach and thought back over the last 2 weeks. Jake and I had gone to my first doctors appointment, everything looked great so far both me and little baby it are healthy, and we got to actually see it and hear the heartbeat! It made it all very real and for the first time I was excited, we were excited.

After our appointment Jake and I had a long talk, he surprised me by telling me he had found a job and an apartment in Stars Hollow, it wasn't a great job but it would work. He will be moving here in about a week, but even with still living in New York he had made many trips here in the last 2 weeks. We were officially dating again, we were taking things slow but so far it was all going well.

We still hadn't told anyone else, the only people who knew were Jake, Lorelai and I, although we weren't going to be able to keep it a secret for much longer. I was 11 weeks pregnant and was already beginning to show, not enough to be really noticeable but I knew it wouldn't be long until I was.

The plan for the day was that after a lot of sleeping I would somehow work up the nerve to tell Ty, and Luke, and everyone else. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to do it. I had no idea how Ty would take it, after all this was the first time I had gotten pregnant, and while he seemed to like Jake I still wasn't sure.

I heard someone knocking on the door so I quickly put on a robe and went to answer it. I opened the door and was shocked and excited at what I saw, "Ty!" I threw my arms around him, "What are you doing here?"

Ty laughed, "I came to see my favorite little sister of course."

"Well it's about time, come in and see the place. Oh and hey, how did you get past Luke?" I asked, remembering how he wouldn't let Jake up.

"It took some convincing, I had to show him ID and he had to run a full background check but he finally caved."

I laughed, "Yeah Luke is a little protective," I suddenly realized I was still in my pajamas and a robe, "Do you mind just hanging out here for a minute? I'm going to go get changed."

I headed into the bedroom, well, at least I can tell him in person. I quickly got changed and threw my hair back into a ponytail before heading out. When I walked back into the main room I saw Ty looking at the framed picture I had placed on a side table. I stopped, it was the picture from my first ultrasound, Lorelai had given me the yellow frame with bumblebees that had written out in black letters, "Baby's First Picture," she said I should put it in the baby's room when it was born. I had been looking at it last night and had forgotten to put it away.

Ty just stood there looking at it, I couldn't tell what he was thinking, his face was completely blank. He slowly looked up from the picture at me, "Gracie, what is this?"

I tried to remain calm, "I'm so, so sorry Ty, I meant to tell you sooner, I really did, I just didn't know how."

Ty still stood there not saying anything when the door opened and Jake walked in. He stopped in the doorway when he saw what was happening, I saw him look from Ty and the picture to me. Ty turned to look at Jake then looked back at me, "Did he do this?"

I tried to joke and lighten the mood, "Well half of it." Ty didn't seem amused.

Jake started to move closer to me but a glare from Ty stopped him, "Stay away from her."

"Ty-" He didn't let me finished.

"No Grace, I think he's done enough." The tension in the room was very high, it suddenly became overwhelming and the room started to spin. I heard them both yell my name and run over before it all went black.

I woke up to find Jake cradling my head in his lap and Ty was fanning my face, I tried to sit up and they both held me down.

"Don't move Grace, you need to sit still for a minute," Jake said as he reached to hold my hand.

Ty got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water, "Here Gracie, try drinking this."

As I was taking a sip I heard the sound of footsteps running up the stairs, the door opened and Luke appeared. "I heard yelling and big crash," He ran over, "Grace are you ok?"

I looked over the faces of the 3 men that surrounded me and I rubbed my head, "Um yeah, I'm fine I think."

I could tell that Jake was worried about the baby, but I was thankful he didn't say anything. Unfortunately Ty didn't know that Luke didn't know about the baby, and after trying to figure out how to say the words he asked, "Is the baby ok?"

Luke turned to look at me, "The baby? Are you pregnant?"

The room started to spin again, I began to wonder if this day could get any worse, I tried to sit up again only to find out that I couldn't, "Luke, I'm sorry I didn't want you to find out like this," I turned my head towards Ty, "And I didn't want you to find out like this either, I was trying to think of some special way to tell you."

Ty started rubbing my hand, "Don't worry about it right now Gracie."

I closed my eyes and tried not to move, I was still so dizzy and my head hurt, Jake noticed this and asked me, "Grace do you think you can move at all?"

I tried to shake my head no, but I couldn't, "Okay guys, we need to get her to the hospital to get checked out. Ty, you grab her car keys, they should be on the table and you go bring the car up. Luke you go get a coat for her."

Jake moved to start picking me up and I whispered, "And my picture."

Jake turned back to Luke, "Her picture is on the floor over there," he pointed to where Ty had dropped it when I fell. Jake picked me up and Luke returned with my jacket and they draped it over me, after he quickly grabbed my picture Luke handed it to me. Jake carried me downstairs and through the diner with Luke following closely after him, I opened my eyes just enough to see Miss Patty sitting at one of the tables, "Great," I thought.

Jake sat with me in the back of my car on the way to the hospital while Ty drove and Luke gave him directions. I was scared that something was going to happen with the baby and it would be all my fault, if only I would've told them sooner. Jake held my hand the whole way there and he kept whispering, "It's going to be ok," in my ear, but I could tell he was scared too. As soon as we got there I was whisked away to the ER leaving the 3 guys standing there.

Jake's POV

I watched as they took Grace behind the ER doors that said Authorized Personnel Only, I wanted to follow her but the hospital staff stopped me and told me I would be notified as soon as something was known. Grace is my girlfriend, the woman carrying my child, and the only girl I had ever loved. I didn't want anything to happen to her, and even though our baby was a very unexpected surprise I already knew I loved it. I had even given it a nickname, after Grace's first ultrasound I shared with her how weird it was that there was something growing in her and living off of her, kind of like a parasite. Even since then I had taken to calling the baby, "Bug," in the most affectionate way of course.

Being back with Grace these past two weeks had been great. The two months we had spent apart had been awful, but even with all that I thought I had missed her, I didn't fully realize it until I saw her again. It didn't take me long to decide to move to Stars Hollow, I knew I needed to be close to her and our child.

The nurse pointed us to a waiting room and we sat, I placed my head in my hands and tried not to think about what could be happening. I felt a hand pat my back before the person stood up; I glanced up to see Luke walking away. He returned after a moment and we all continued to sit in silence.

About 30 minutes later we still hadn't heard anything when Lorelai showed up, Luke must have gone to call her, I thought to myself. She sat down by Luke and he quickly and quietly explained the situation. A few moments later a nurse came out, "Who's here for Eleanor Bennett?"

Ty and I both spoke up, "We are," I saw Luke and Lorelai share confused looks.

The nurse continued, "She's asking for Jake to come back," Ty started to protest but she kept talking, "The rest of you can go back in a couple minutes."

I stood up and followed her.

Grace's POV

I laid in the hospital bed waiting for Jake to come back, I closed my eyes for a moment and when I reopened them he was coming in the door.

"Hey," I said.

He sat down beside my bed and grabbed my hand; his eyes were red and puffy like he had been crying. I reached over to run my hand through his hair, "I'm ok, and Bug's ok."

He smiled at my reference to his nickname for our baby, "Where's the doctor?"

"She just went to get the ultrasound machine, they just wanted to double check everything and I thought you might want to be in here for it."

The doctor returned just then and started getting everything set up she gave the cold gel warning and started. Our baby appeared on the screen and the sound of its heartbeat filled the room. It brought tears to both of our eyes, and even more appeared when the doctor announced that everything was fine. The door opened and Luke, Ty, and Lorelai stepped in. Without words they all stepped over and watched the screen in awe, Lorelai wrapped her arm around Luke and Ty grabbed my other hand. With all the stress of the day aside, it was the perfect moment.

The doctor finished up and left me to explain the situation, nervous looks were on the faces of both Luke and Ty, "Everything is fine, I'm fine, the baby is fine. The doctor said my blood pressure was elevated so she gave me medicine for it, but she said it was most likely caused by stress."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; Lorelai gave me a hug and told me to call her later. I could tell Luke wanted to say something, but he didn't, he just leaned down to give me a hug and told me he was glad everything was all right.

They both left and Ty asked Jake if he could talk to me alone for a minute, Jake left the room and with tears in his eyes Ty turned to me. "Gracie, I'm so sorry."

I tried to stop him, "No Ty, you did nothing wrong."

He wiped his eyes, "I shouldn't have freaked out, I should have let you explain. What if something would've actually happened?"

I looked him in the eyes and reached out to touch his arm, "But nothing did happen, everything is ok so let's just be thankful for that."

I saw him glance at the clock and cringe, "Oh shoot, are you sure you're ok? I have a meeting I have to go to but I can cancel it if you need me to stay."

"I promise I'm fine, don't cancel your meeting." He gave me a hug and I continued, "I do expect you to call me later though, I still have to fill you in on all the details."

"You got it Gracie, I'll send Jake back in." And with that he walked out of the room.

Ty's POV

I left Gracie's room and went to find Jake, I turned the corner to see him by the pop machines and I walked towards him. When Jake started working for me this past year I automatically liked him, he's a hard worker, a fast learner, and just generally a great guy.

When Gracie had come to stay with me for the summer she saw him and fell for him right away, I wasn't sure about the relationship at first but I quickly saw how he brought out the best in Gracie. He gave her a confidence and a joy that I had never seen her with before, and she seemed to make him equally as happy.

They were both miserable when they had to be separated and to be honest, I was always rooting for them to get back together. I was shocked when Gracie didn't come back to New York when she finally left our parents house, and just as equally shocked when Jake suddenly gave his 2 weeks notice at my company without a word as to were he was going.

I don't know why I was so upset when I found out today; I think I was more shocked than anything. Things were finally going right for Gracie and for a brief moment I thought he had messed it all up. But as I remembered all that had happened today I knew that whether she knew it or not, she was the happiest she had ever been. I knew I could trust Jake to take care of her and love her, and that's not a trust I give out easily.

I walked up to him, "I'm headed back home," He looked at me and I could tell the stress of the day was catching up to him, "And you make sure to take her home and get some rest, all three of you."

"I'll do that," Jake told me. I waved and started to walk away when he called out my name, "Ty, just so you know, I do love her. And I never want to hurt her."

I turned around, "Good let's keep it that way. Call me if you guys need anything."

I walked out of the hospital and for the first time I knew I didn't have to worry, she would be ok.
