A Different History Repeating Itself
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GILMORE GIRLS, PERIOD.
Chapter 6
A few days later, the results of the DNA test are ready as Rory, April, Luke, and Lorelai are heading towards the lab to pick up the results and discuss about the next steps. Rory also has a doctor's appointment as well as she went along with them as well for moral support.
"Hon are you sure you are feeling alright? We should go to the doctor first before the lab"? Lorelai asks Rory.
Rory looks at her mother as she shakes her head. "No mom, if I head over there now, it would be way too early. Plus you may never know who you run in there. Plus I have a go bag just in case they want to induce me later". Rory said to Lorelai.
Lorelai nods as they arrive at the lab. As the four of them get out from the car, Nicole and Lance show up as they have Thomas and Melanie with them. "Looks like the timing of arrival could not be more impeccable". Lorelai said to them.
As they went in the building, the same lab employee looks at them. "We have the results ready. Let's talk in my office while they can wait in the lobby". The lab employee said to them.
As Nicole and Lance goes ahead, Lorelai hands the keys of the car to April. "In case Rory's water brakes, you drive her to the hospital and send a text". Lorelai hands the keys to April.
April nods as they went to sit in the lobby. Rory sits down on a chair as Thomas and Melanie looks at them. "Do you know who the father is of your babies"? Melanie asks Rory.
Thomas gives his sister a look. "Melanie, that's a rude and a personal question". Thomas said to Melanie as he is scolding her.
Melanie looks at Thomas as she rolls her eyes. "Is she going to be honest and forthcoming about it unlike mom"? Melanie counters back at her brother.
Rory looks at them as she nods. "His name is Logan, and he made that choice to be out of their lives. It hurts but I chose to move on". Rory said to them.
Thomas nods as he looks at her. "So if Luke turns out to be the father of us, does he want us in his life"? Thomas asks Rory.
Rory looks at Thomas as it is a question for April. "Well Luke was not my biological father, but he is a father figure to me as well as my step father. I think he would want to be in your lives". Rory said to them.
April nods as she takes the question. "I found out on my own that Luke is my dad when I was around your ages. I had to get the DNA samples myself for a science fair project for school. However my mom was limiting on how much he could be in my life because I didn't want to get hurt. My dad had to fight on her for custody and won shared custody. It was good for me because I got to know him". April said to them.
Melanie nods as they fully understand where April was coming from. "So Luke was not your biological dad, and yet he was around in your life. At the same time, you had to find out that Luke is your dad". Melanie said to them.
Rory and April nod as they look at them. "Exactly Luke is an amazing step dad and dad". Rory and April said in unison.
Thomas has a skeptical look on his face from when they said that in unison. "Did you guys plan the twin unison thing"? Thomas asks them.
Rory shrugs as she feels her babies kicking as all the sudden a whoosh of water falls to the ground. "Oh no, not today", Rory said to April.
April looks at the water as she realizes that Rory is going into labor. "We have to get you to the hospital". April said to Rory.
Melanie looks at them as she wants to help. "Let me help, and I want to come". Melanie said as she gives a hand to Rory. Thomas nods as he looks at them. "I am coming with you guys". Thomas said to them.
As the four of them leaves the lab, a woman at the front desk sees all of this. She grabs a phone to call the employee.
In a room, Luke and Lorelai look at Nicole and Lance. The lab employee looks at them as he has the results in his hands. He is reading them off to them. "Mr. Thompson, I regret to inform you that your DNA paternity test does not match to Thomas and Melanie. Mr. Danes, your DNA paternity test does match to Melanie and Thomas. You are their biological father". The lab employee said to them.
Lance has a defeated look on his face. Nicole is shocked by the results. "Are you sure by the results? There has to be some mistake". Nicole said to the lab employee.
The lab employee looks at Nicole as he shakes his head. "There is no mistake and it has 99% percent match to Mr. Danes". The employee said to Nicole as he takes a call.
Lorelai looks at her phone as she sees the text. "Luke, we need to get to the hospital now". Lorelai said to Luke.
Luke looks at Lorelai as he realizes that Rory is in labor. "Right I gave the keys to April to take her". Luke said to them.
The lab employee face drops as he looks at them. "It seems that the two kids that were in the lobby went with them willing to the hospital". The employee said to them.
The four adults look at the lab employee as they are stunned. "They what", they said in unison.
In the car, April is driving as in the back seat, Thomas and Melanie are keeping Rory calm. April notices the phone ringing as it is Luke. "Hello", April said on the phone.
"Put either Thomas or Melanie on the phone". Nicole yells at April.
April hands the phone to Thomas. "Mom", Thomas said to Nicole.
"Why are you and Melanie in a car with them? You and Melanie should have stayed at the building". Nicole asks Thomas.
Thomas frowns as he is hearing this. "We made our choice to go with them. We are helping her if you like it or not". Thomas said as he hangs up the phone on his mom.
April looks at Thomas as he puts the phone back. "This is supposed to be next week in Woodbury with my doctor. Just get me to Saint Joseph's Rory said to them.
April nods as she follows the signs to the hospital in Hartford. As she parks the car, she and the kids help Rory out of the car. The medical staff sees an expecting mother in labor as they got to the maternity wing.
April looks at the phone as it is Lorelai. "Hey Lorelai, yes I got Rory to Saint Joseph's". April said to Lorelai.
"Good, we are on our way. Call my mother to let her know". Lorelai said to April. April nods as she makes the call to Emily.
In Nantucket, Emily is at her modest home. She hears the phone ringing. "Hello", Emily said on the phone.
"Emily, its April, Rory is in labor and at Saint Joseph's in Hartford". April said to Emily.
Emily is stunned to learn that her great grand children are on their way into the world. "What, I am on my way. I will be calling in every 15 minutes". Emily said to April.
April nods as she writes it down. "Right", April said to Emily as that was the fastest phone call she has ever made.
As Rory is in a room being hooked up to monitors and an IV drip, April, Thomas, and Melanie walk in the room. "This is not what you had in mind today is it". April said to Rory.
Rory shakes her head to them. "Not exactly", Rory said to them. She sighs as Luke, Lorelai, Nicole, and Lance arrive to the wing. "She down through there". A nurse said to them.
Thomas and Melanie step out of the room. Nicole looks at them as she is angry with them. "You two should have stayed put". Nicole said to them.
Melanie looks at her mom. "But mom, we had to act fast and help her". Melanie said to Nicole.
Lance looks at Nicole as this is not the best place to talk about it. "Maybe we should be in a different room to talk about this". Lance said to Nicole.
Nicole turns to Lance as she is angry from the bad news. "And what tell them that you are not their father but Luke is". Nicole said to Lance.
Thomas and Melanie frown as they look at them. "What", Melanie said to them. "Is it true"? Thomas asks them.
Lance looks at Nicole as this is the wrong time for this. "At least you are finally honest with them". Lance said to them.
Thomas and Melanie return to the room. As Lance looks at Nicole, you cannot be angry at them for trying to help their newly discovered half step sister. I have to go". Lance said to Nicole.
Nicole scoffs as she looks at Lance. She has been getting looks from the other nurses and people in the waiting room. She also leaves the hospital as she does not know where to go from here.
End Chapter
The birth of Rory's twins will be in the next chapter. Plus there might be an unexpected arrival of a character in the next chapter. Plus I am debating about the fate of Nicole as well. I am currently debating on the names for the twins as well.
