"So when she asked we'll say yes?" Lorelai asked for the 100th time since they had gotten to the doctors office.
"For the last time Lorelai yes!" Luke was now annoyed.
"Sorry, just making sure, I still cant believe we're gonna find out the sex of our babies" Lorelai was so happy she was just exploding happiness.
"Yeah I'm happy too" Luke said sheepishly.
"Aw you big softie"
"Gilmore, Lorelai" a nurse said.
"Going!" Lorelai yelled at the nurse, Luke got up and helped Lorelai up, they walked to the exam room and got ready.
"Please sit on the examining table and wait for the doctor to get here" the nurse said and walked out, Luke helped Lorelai hop on the table she laid back her hands on her stomach. Luke sat on a little stool next to her.
Dr. Matthews walked in and greeted them she walked over to Lorelai and started examining Lorelai.
"Everything looks good here" she said. "Now lift your shirt so we can do an ultrasound" since Lorelai had Luke's hand in hers when she heard ultrasound she gave it a little squeeze. Lorelai shivered when the cold gel touched her growing stomach. "Oh sorry" the Dr said.
"It's ok, I'm just excited" said Lorelai.
"And why's that?" Dr. Matthews was intrigued.
"Because I finally convinced him of finding out what the sex of the babies is" Lorelai said happily.
"Good for you" right then the heart beat came on and Lorelai gave Luke's hand a harder squeeze. "Ok here we go" the doctor moved the little thing over her stomach a few times. "Seems like they are hiding themselves"
"Oh" Lorelai said a little sad.
"Don't worry we'll look for a little while more and… Oh wait… what do we have here?" the doctor froze the image and pointed "See there?" both Luke and Lorelai squinted their eyes but couldn't make anything out.
"Umm what are we looking at?" asked Lorelai.
"Well that right there…" she pointed again "Makes one of your twins a boy" the doctor told them.
"A boy?" asked Luke.
"Yes a boy" the doctor specified.
"I…I'm gonna have a boy?" asked Luke almost with tears in his eyes.
"Yeah baby" said Lorelai running her hand over Luke's cheek, that made him turn and look her in the eye, he kissed her and whispered 'thank you' in her ear. Lorelai knew Luke wouldn't mind if he had two girls she knew he would be the best father and the most protective one but the fact that she was giving him a son also made her happy, she had wished at least one was a boy, she wanted to do that for Luke.
"Well apparently the other baby doesn't want their parents to know what it is, sorry" Dr. Matthews said.
"It's ok" said Lorelai finally letting go of the stare she and Luke had been sharing since the 'it's a boy' thing. "Here" the doctor handed her a rag to wipe the gel off. "And here" the doctor handed Luke some pictures, one had both of them, the there was one of the boy but you couldn't tell it was a boy, another of the other baby, and the last one had a circle on it where it showed it was a boy.
While the doctor was telling the nurse when to schedule the next appointment Luke made Lorelai call her mother.
"Hello?"
"Mom, why are you answering the phone?" Lorelai was puzzled.
"Because every time the phone ring's the maid goes and opens the door, she has a problem."
"Ok mom" Lorelai said between chuckles. "We are done here at the doctors office so I was wondering where should we meet?"
"Well it depends"
"On what?"
"What are you eating lately, or what are you in the mood for" Emily said matter-of-factly.
"Well right now I'm in the mood for a buffet"
"Good, which one?" Emily asked eagerly.
"Really we can go to a buffet?" I cant believe this, she hates buffets. Lorelai thought.
"Sure, that's what you're in the mood for, so why not?"
"Ok" they talked over the details on where and what time and they hung up. God I'm gonna have to deal with my parents in like 15 minutes. Breath Lorelai breath. She told herself. The four of them were now inside and Lorelai was wondering the tables filled with food.
"Stop drooling over it" mocked Luke.
"Shut up, your son and his sibling don't know what they want yet"
"That sounds good" they kept looking and soon the four of then were sitting eating.
"So what did the doctor say?" asked Richard.
"Well dad, she said that everything was fine, we wanted to know what the sex was but they were hiding it so we almost lost hope but at the end we found out we are having a boy, the other one didn't let us see" Lorelai said proudly.
"A boy! How wonderful" said Emily wow she is really trying thought Lorelai.
"Yes, but right not its boy and baby" Lorelai said a little sad.
"Don't worry we'll find out soon enough" Luke told her. Lorelai smiled. They ate in silence for a little longer.
"Well mom, the reason we're having this meal, is that we've consider what you said and… well you're right the twins need their family and if you really want to do things our way… then there's no need for us to be denying your grandkids" Lorelai rambled on.
"So what are you saying exactly?" asked Emily a little confused by Lorelai's rant.
"That we want to include you guys in our life, ours and the twins" said Lorelai.
"Well that's wonderful" said Richard.
"I'm glad to hear that" said Emily.
"Well what can I say you're family, and family needs to be close, right babe?" she turned towards Luke.
"Yes they do" was all he said.
LaTeR In ThE CaR On ThEiR DrIvE BaCk
"Luke!"
"No"
"Please?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"I don't want to name my son 'Luke'" Luke explained.
"But why not?" she pouted.
"It sounds weird"
"Tell you what…" she started
"I don't like the sound of this" he muttered.
"I get to name our first born and you get to name the second" she proposed.
"So you get to name the first one that pop's out of you, and I get to name the second?" he was making sure.
"Wow that was graphic, but yeah" she made a disgust face.
"Why? What's the catch?"
"No catch" she stated.
"Then why do you get to name the first one?" he was intrigued.
"Because by the time the second one comes I'm gonna be so tired and drugged that I'll probably end up calling it 'Aragorn' or something like that" she explained.
"So if I agree to this, I get to name the second one…" she nodded "I can name it anything I want?"
"Yes!" she was exasperated.
"But that means you can name the first one anything you want…" she nodded "See there is a catch"
"That's not a catch"
"It is if the first born is a boy. Then you'll name him Luke" he was turning into their driveway.
"But what if it's a girl" he thought for a little while.
"Yeah you're right. Ok then we have a deal" he turned off the engine.
"Yes?" he nodded "Yes! This will be fun"
"You're crazy"
"I know" they got off the car and went into the house.
Luke had dropped Lorelai in the house she said she was tired and wanted to sleep a while. Luke went to the diner, he wanted to check on Lane and Caesar, the three of them were gonna interview some people for when Luke couldn't be at the dine because of the twins or Lorelai. While interviewing people the three of them had different opinions on what the diner really needed but the agreed on one thing Not Kirk!
"What about the second one?" asked Lane.
"He had a Mohawk" Luke told her.
"So?" Lane asked a little pissed of.
"Only normal hair in the diner"
"Since when?"
"Now! Caesar what do you think?" Luke asked tearing him from his daydream.
"What?" Caesar was out of it.
"Who do you think is god for the job?" Lane explained.
"Not Kirk" was all he said.
"We know that Caesar, but who do you want?" Luke told him a little annoyed.
"Oh, the first one" he said with a dreamy voice.
"No, bimbos" Lane said.
"What?" asked Luke.
"People will just come in to see her" she explained.
"But they'll come in" Luke told her.
"Oh yeah, and I guess Lorelai will love the idea of having someone like her with you all day long" Lane knew that she played the Lorelai card he'd cave.
"Ok so no girls" Luke stated, he didn't want to have any problems with Lorelai.
"Not fair boss"
"Zip it Caesar" Lane threatened him.
"I don't think we'll ever find someone who wants to work, looks decent, it's a not a girl or Kirk" Luke said frustrated.
"Maybe he'll do it" Lane said pointing to the window.
"Jess?" Luke whispered.
BaCk At ThE HoUsE
Lorelai was waking up and hear noises coming from downstairs. She walked down and found Rory watching TV.
"Hey kiddo" Lorelai said walking to sit next to her.
"Morning sleepy head"
"Don't mock. What are you watching?"
"How good TV slowly dies to make room for reality shows"
"And what the diagnosis?"
"I give it a month at most. How was the doctors appointment?"
"Everything is great" Lorelai said rubbing her stomach "Baby and baby boy, are ok"
"What? Did you just say baby boy?" Lorelai nodded "Oh my God! I'm gonna have a baby brother!"
"Yeah babe"
"That's great, I bet Luke's thru the roof right now"
"He sure is, he can finally teach someone how to throw a good ball, shave or fix a car and stuff like that"
"Ok so one's a boy, and the other?"
"We don't know, it wouldn't let us see" Lorelai said a little sad.
"Aw, well at least you know you're gonna have a boy"
"Yep, hey do you wanna see a picture?"
"Do I!" Lorelai got up and started looking for it.
"Sorry but maybe Luke took them with him" Lorelai said apologetically.
"It's ok mom I'll see them later. So… tell me about your day" Rory told Lorelai, she sat down on the couch took the control turned the TV off and started telling about her parents and her deal with Luke.
BaCk At ThE DiNeR
"Hey uncle Luke" Jess said quietly while walking into the diner.
"What are you doing, God what happened to you?" Luke asked when he noticed the bruises and blood.
"Liz told me about Lorelai and I wanted to congratulate you" Jess said limping towards a chair.
"That doesn't matter Jess, what happened to you?" he said pointing at his bruises, Luke sat at the same table as Jess.
"Got mugged"
"Jess" Luke said warningly.
"I did, I was getting of the buss in Hartford and a guy came out of nowhere wanted to take my bags and my wallet but I didn't so he got mad and some of his buddies came…" Jess was explaining, well at least trying because he was talking funny.
"Lets go" Luke said interrupting him and getting up.
"What? Go where?" Jess asked looking up at Luke.
"Home, we need to get you cleaned up and checked" Luke explained pulling Jess up to his feet.
"I can't"
"Why not?"
"Because Lorelai's gift also got mugged" he said so quietly that Luke almost didn't hear him.
"Jess, that doesn't matter now, your health does so lets go" Luke started pulling him "Caesar, Lane you're in charge!" he yelled back. "So, you bought a present?" Luke mocked.
"Yeah. It's the polite thing to do"
"So you're polite now?"
"I guess I deserve that" Jess said rather quietly "I'm sorry you know?"
"What?" Luke couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm sorry for the way I left things, you were great and I was an ass hole"
"You got that right"
"Gee thanks" Jess mocked.
"Hey what happened to being polite?" asked Luke joking. They were now walking up the drive way of the house.
"Ok so anyway, I wanted to say sorry and thanks for not letting me fall off the face of the earth"
"Anytime" Luke reached for the door knob and opened the door.
"Good thing you're home cuz' we're so hungry!" Lorelai yelled towards the door when she heard it open.
"That's not why I'm here" said Luke while he walked towards the couch with Jess right behind him.
"Oh that's where you're wrong mister, that's the only reason you're ever here" Lorelai mocked.
"True, but right now Jess needs help"
"Jess?" both Rory Lorelai asked finally turning their view from the TV to the guys.
"Oh my God! What happened?" asked Rory while she walked up to Jess.
"He got mugged" Luke explained sitting next to Lorelai.
"What! When? Where?" Rory was worried.
"Mugged, today, at the Hartford bus station" Jess told her.
"I see you sense of humor was also mugged" Lorelai mocked.
"Mom! Come with me Jess, we need to check those bruises" Rory yanked Jess to the upstairs bathroom.
"Mugged?" Lorelai turned her attention towards Luke.
"Yep, he's got nothing on him, no wallet, no bags, not even your gift. They took everything"
"Gift?" Lorelai couldn't believe it.
"He said he was baring gifts for you and the twins, because it's the polite thing to do"
"The polite… wait how does he know about the twins?"
"Liz told him, so he came to congratulate us and to apologize to me"
"Weird" was all Lorelai could say.
"I know"
In ThE BaThRoOm
"God! Careful with that" Jess whined while Rory started whipping the blood off.
"Don't be such a baby" she said looking down on him, he was sitting on the closed toilet so she could get better access.
"Easy for you to say. Ow! Hey I saw that…" Rory laughed a little when he screamed out in pain "You are just hurting me to get a good laugh"
"Don't be silly" she said while holding back a smile. "So why are you here?"
"To get the blood off" he said matter-of-factly.
"Not in the bathroom wise-guy. In stars hallow" Rory said rinsing the wash cloth and resuming her cleaning duty.
"Liz told me about Lorelai and I was planning on coming to apologize so I figured ' I go I apologize and congratulate them' so that's what I did. I even bought a gift for your mom and the twins"
"You did?"
"Yep but it got mugged as well as my wallet and bags"
"So you have nothing?"
"Just a couple of bruises" he tried to lighten the mood a little.
"Not funny"
"And maybe a broken rib" he said putting his hand over his ribs.
"You're kidding right?"
"Not really" he said with a pain expression.
"We need to take you to the hospital!" Rory started to panic. "Luke!"
"Hey, hey wait. I've been wanting to call you" he started while Luke made his way to the bathroom.
"Really? Why?" Rory turned her attention towards Jess.
"To apologize, I was a little brat and ended up hurting the two people that meant more to me than life. So I'm sorry, I really am" Luke heard all of this thru the bathroom door.
"You don't have to"
"I know I don't but I wanted to" Just the Luke walked in.
"What's wrong?" he asked looking at Rory.
"Jess has a broken rib" she explained.
"What!"
"I don't have a broken rib, I think I have a broken rib" he tried to explain but Luke was already pushing him down the stairs. "And if you don't stop pushing I'm gonna have one for sure" Luke stopped the pushing.
"What's going on?" Lorelai said standing up.
"Wow, you are pregnant" Jess said as soon as he noticed her stomach for the first time. Lorelai gave him a death stare. "Sorry didn't think you were really for along"
"Jess has a broken rib" Rory said saving Jess from further pain if he didn't stop talking.
"I'm taking him to the hospital to get checked" Luke told Lorelai and gave her a quick kiss goodbye.
"But I want to go" Rory whined.
"Stay here with your mom" Luke told her and then they left. Lorelai walked over to the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"Hey Rory! You hungry!" Lorelai yelled from the kitchen her head still in the fridge.
"Wow, I cant believe I forgot I was hungry" Rory said waking into the kitchen.
"Yeah well having a bleeding guy pop out of nowhere will do that to you" Lorelai mocked while grabbing the phone to order food.
"Thats disgusting" Rory said with a yuck face.
"Hey did you notice how much he looked like Rocky" Lorelai said mockingly.
"Mom!" Rory laughed.

"So are you nervous?" Jess broke the silence.
"Of what?"
"The twins"
"Not really, I mean they're babies how much damage can they actually do, right?"
"If you say so"
"Besides if I survived the worst kid, that being you, I guess I can take to little kids"
"Gee thanks" Luke chuckled. And there was silence for a little while longer.
"So where are you staying?" Luke asked out of nowhere.
"Well I was hoping I could stay in your old apartment"
"You cant, cuz' Lorelai sold everything"
"What?"
"The only thing left in the apartment is the couch, the table and a few chairs" Luke explained.
"What? Why?"
"Because I don't live there anymore so there's no need to have all that stuff there"
"But what about my bed" Jess asked a little annoyed.
"Oh that's at the house, in the guests bedroom A.K.A your bedroom"
"What!" Jess couldn't believe what Luke had just said.
"You're staying with us at the house"
"And Lorelai wont mind?"
"We already discussed it, and she's ok with it"
"Wow, thanks"
"Mariano, Jess" a nurse said.
"That's me" Jess stood up.
"Come with me please" the nurse said and Jess followed her.
