"Mom!?" Rory wasa mixture of emotions as the people who raised her filed into the room. It was no lie that pregnant women expericned more emotions than your everyday non pregnant women, but the surge of them that hit her when five of the most important people in her life surrounded her was more powerful than she thought it would be.
"Of course loinfruit. As soon as Logan called, Luke and I headed over. When Logan called Taylor, Kirk and Michele were there, and they all wanted to come but I figured that Sookie and Jackson were more harmless."
Rory smiled at her mom, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked from her mother to her step father to the woman and man she considered an aunt and unlce. "Thank you." was all she could get out.
Logan found Rory's hand with his own and squeezed it. He had hoped he had done the right thing by calling her mother. He should of figured that other people from Stars Hollow would show up. They took care of their own, especially when it came to Rory. Sookie and Jackson were no longer technically Stars Hollow residents, but it didn't really surprise her that they had showed up. She had been there when their third child was born, and through countless other events in their lives.
"Hey kiddo, how you feelin'?" Sookie asked as she made her way closer to the bed. Luke had adopted a stance near the tv and was looking about at home in the hospital room as a chicken did at a KFC, but she appreciated that he was there nontheless. She had learned during her teen years that there were few things that could make the plaid clad diner owner sqirm as much as a hospital. Jackson looked almost as awkward, but then again Jackson looked awkward no matter where you put him unless it was on a farm.
"Like cultivating new life is hard work." She said with a soft chuckle. While she was beyond worried about her current predictiment, she didn't want to show how worried she really was. Especially with the amount of people that now occupied her hospital room.
"You can say that again." Lorelai responded with a smirk as she perched herself onthe side of Rory's hospital bed opposite of where Logan was seate holding her hand. "You were a handful before you were even born."
"Pfft. " Sookie said with a grin. "Try doing it three times." She sighed. "Let me tell you, it doesn't get much easier."
The group shared several minutes of conversation before Jackson and Sookie left to relieve the sitter they had hired at a moments notice to watch their three children. Once they had left, a much more serious look fell on Lorelai's face as she looked at her daughter. "So, how long are you in this joint for?"
"I don't know yet. They are monitoring me for a couple days, make sure the baby and I are okay." Rory said, a more honest and sad look falling over her face.
"Hey hey now, loinfruit. It's going to be okay. That baby of yours is going to be the most love and spoiled baby ever in the history of the world" Lorelai said patting her daughters hand that wasn't being held by the blonde Huntzburger. She smirked.
