"Oh my god, you're huge." Lane squealed as she hugged Rory and then entered the apartment. Her arms were loaded down with bags, which Rory helped her set on the dining room table as they made their way inside.

"I know. It was like overnight, all of sudden." Rory laughed. As she surveyed the bags that she had just disentangled from her childhood best friends arms she raised an eyebrow. "Are you moving in?" she joked.

Lane shook her head and laughed. "No. As soon as Zack heard that you were moving in with Logan he decided that you needed all the leftover baby stuff from when the twins were little. Well at least the gender nuetral things."

Rory smiled and laughed at her best friends husband. "Of course he did. But do you guys not want anymore kids?"

Lane shrugged as she slowly pulled a bag in front of herself on the table and pulled what seemed like an endless amount of bibs out of it and stacked them on the table before looking back at her friend. "I don't know if we are going to ever have another one. The boys are so old now, and I don't know if I have the energy to do the baby stages again."

Rory frowned, she had always figured that her best friend would try to have a girl at some point. She shrugged and tilted her head. "If you wanna talk about it, you know I'm here right?" She asked, trying to show how much she cared.

Lane sighed softly and nodded, squeaking out a thank you before she changed the subject. Today was about Rory and making sure she had fun while she was on bedrest or at least as much fun as one could have on bedrest. "So. I brought all kinds of bibs, blankets, and there's a baby carrier in one of the bags. It's always best to get someone to help you get the baby in and out of it the first couple of times or it could be disasterous."

Rory chuckled, "Oh I remember when you called me to get me to held untangle you from the kitchen chairs and the baby carrier."

Lane laughed. "Yeah, there's a story Steve doens't need to learn till he's much older." The two women talked for a few more minutes as they went through the rest of the bags Lane had brought with her. After they had gone through everything and made stacks of all the goodies that Rory's friend had brought they decided to order food and and watch a movie.

One of the traits that Rory had picked up from her mother was the collecting of take out menus. So when the two women went to order food, there were thirty or forty splayed out on the dining room table. Since Rory was on a semi strict diet, they landed on a burger place. Lane ordered a cheeseburger with onion rings and a chocolate shake, while Rory orderd a salad with fried chicken strips and lots of ranch dressing. Lane was just as shocked as everyone else in Rory's world that she had ordered something healthy.

While they waited for their food to arrive, they settled onto the couch in the living room and scrolled through several girly movies that were available on Netflix before deciding on Nights in Rodanthe. They continued to talk about random small talk as the movie started playing. Rory felt a nagging feeling that something wasn't right in her best friends life. Turning the volume down on the movie she adopted a more serious look on her face and turned to her friend. "Talk to me Lane, I can tell somethings wrong." She paused. "You've never kept anything from me."

Lane sighed and looked away before meeting Rory's gaze with her own. "Zack and I haven't...exactly been seeing eye to eye on another kid. After the twins were born he wanted another one or two of kids. And even up until a few months ago he was still deadset on us having a girl, or at least trying for a girl." She sighed and slumped back into the couch, raising her legs up to her chest before continuing. "And then all of a sudden, he started saying things like we didnt have time for another one and it wasn't fair to the boys to have another one." Lane sighed and dabbed at her eyes.

"Have you told him how you feel about it?" Rory asked, not quite sure what to ask or what to say.

"We've talked kind of. But he always gets so weird when I try to talk to him about it and he will talk for a few minutes and then change the subject or say he doesn't want to talk about it and walk away."

Rory frowned and nibbled her lip as she thought of what to say back to Lane. "I'm so sorry I had no idea. You should of said something to me before now. I feel like such a bad friend because you didn't say anything, or I was too lost in my own little world to see that something was wrong before now."

Lane chuckled through the tears and looked at her friend. "It's not your fault, you have a ton going on. Reuniting with your prince charming. A scary pregnancy and everything else you have going on."

Rory shurgged. "Still. I had no idea that things were so rough with you and Zack right now. "

Lane shook her head and looked at Rory. "That's the weird thing, things aren't bad between us. The only thing that we ever even have disagreements over is another baby."

Rory frowned and reached over patting her best friends hand. "Well, maybe things will change. I don't know how to tell you what to say. I kind of just showed up at a hospital when Logan's dad was sick and one thing led to another and then all of a sudden he knew we were having a baby and he's been exceptionally great about everything ever since."

Lane laughed. "Who would of thunk that that the heir of the multi billion dollar company would be such an awesome guy when it comes to being a daddy."

Rory laughed softly. " I know it wasn't really what I was expecting either. But I am so glad that it has turned out this way." She paused for a minute. "You know if you wanna talk more about Zack we can."

Lane nodded. "I know, but I don't know what else to say right now."

"Understandable. Just letting you know."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door alerting the girls that food had arrived. Lane jumped up, telling Rory that lunch was on her and that she needed to sit still and worry about keeping comfortable. Rory tried to protest but Lane kindly pushed her back down onto the couch before making her way to the door.

"Eat up!" She said with a grin as she spread the food out a matter of minutes later.
