Well here's another chapter! Hope you all enjoy it!! I'm running out of ideas for this one, so it's coming along a lot slower than when I first started, but no worries! I will work on it once I have a brainstorm day! I'm thinking about having a little drama in the next chapter...not sure what yet, but we'll see! Anyways, I'm rambling. R&R!!

Chapter 14

A month had flown by so quickly. Rory had gotten significantly bigger and both were curious as to why she was so large at five and a half months. Rory was anxiously working on her term paper and finishing up some of her work for some finals. She only had a couple more months of college until she graduated. She had worked extremely harder these past few months to get ahead in her work so she could graduate early.

"Jess is the food here yet?" Rory whined saving her report.

"No."

"But I'm starving! You do know that I'm practically eating as much as five people now, right?" Rory reminded him of her strange eating habits, plus the fact that she ate twice as much now that she was pregnant.

Jess sighed, "Yes, I'll call again." He picked up the phone and called to check on their pizzas. "Uh yes, we ordered some pizzas about twenty minutes ago and still haven't received them. How much longer?"

"They should be there now. Kirk is delivering the pizzas tonight, and he usually gets them there on time." the person on the other line replied.

"Oh, uh, ok. Thanks." Jess hung up and turned to Rory. "I'm gonna have to hunt down Kirk. Apparently he is delivering tonight."

There was a loud banging on the door and Rory got up and opened it. "Hi Kirk."

"Here take the pizzas and let me leave!" Kirk was afraid of Jess and wanted nothing more than to be away from him.

"Thanks Kirk. Here's the money." Rory handed him the bills and he bolted out of there. Jess couldn't help but laugh at Kirk.

"Don't you think he acts like a three year old sometimes?" Jess chuckled.

"Oh Jess, don't be mean. He can't help it." Rory stifled a laugh as she opened the pizza box.

"I'm surprised he's engaged to Lulu. I mean, a woman has to be crazy to see something in Kirk."

"Be nice Jess!" Rory raised her eyebrow and scolded him.

"I can't say that I will, but if you say so…" Jess raised his hands in surrender. He walked to the boxes of pizzas and opened the first one. Rory slapped his hand away and he looked at her shocked.

"The first box is mine!" She snatched it up and sat down on the couch.

"Why, I'm hurt Rory." Jess feigned hurt and placed his hand on his chest.

"You'll get over it." Rory smirked, taking a bite out of her pizza. Jess sat next to her and kissed her softly.

"What was that for Dodger?" Rory smiled and set down her pizza.

"Oh, I just felt like it, that's all." Jess took a bite out of his pizza and turned on the tv.

"Ok. Hey Jess, we need to schedule another appointment for me." Rory reminded him.

"Fine." Jess pretended to pout and brought her the phone.

"Thank you." Rory dialed the number and walked into the other room, away from the noise.

Jess smiled as he watched her. She had accomplished so much over the last month. School would end early for her since she talked to all of her professors and they agreed to help her graduate sooner. Work was going well for her too. She got a raise and a lot of her stories were on the front page of Hartford's newspaper.

Rory walked out as she hung up the phone. "Monday at 3. Can you make it?"

"Yeah. I don't have anywhere to be Monday. I get Monday's off remember?" Jess confirmed.

"Yay!" She clapped her hands and continued eating.

"Offspring of mine!" Lorelai called, walking into the diner with a small bag.

"Right here!" Rory answered turning around.

"Yay! Hey there baby." Lorelai walked up to Rory hugged her gently then kneeled down and talked tenderly to her stomach.

"Mom. Not here. You know Jess hates when you do that."

"I know." Lorelai grinned and placed the bag in front of her.

"What's this?" Rory questioned, glancing at her mom.

"A present for baby."

"But mom, I thought we agreed, no shopping yet?" Rory sighed.

"Yes, but it was just so cute and I had to get it for you!"

"Fine." Rory opened the present and pulled out a small blue outfit. "I thought we agreed, no blue. Blue is too common. We wanted green."

"But blue is a baby boy's color." Lorelai pouted and pretended to cry.

"Thanks mom. Just know that Jess isn't going to be too happy about it."

"Where is that husband of yours anyway?" Lorelai asked and as if on cue, Jess walked out from behind the curtain. "Ah yes, teasing time."

"Mom no."

"Oh Mr. James Dean! Mr. James Dean!" Lorelai pulled out a tissue and began waving it at Jess. "My, my such a gentleman like you should be here helping us order! What shall we do if we can't decide on a lunch choice?"

Jess raised his eyebrow at her and shook his head. "What are you? Mary Poppins?" He smirked as Lorelai gasped, offended.

"As a matter of fact, no! Where's Adrian? " Lorelai deviously grinned back.

"Don't start that again!" Jess pulled up a chair and sat next to Rory.

Lorelai gasped loudly. "You know who you look like!?!"

"No." Jess curtly replied.

"You look, l-like that guy off that one show! What's it called?" Lorelai snapped her fingers, thinking. "Heroes! That's the show! Can you fly? Like Peter Petrelli?"

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about." Jess snapped.

Rory giggled, "Mom I have no idea what you're talking about either. What's Heroes?"

"It's a tv shows. With superheroes! Duh!"

"Ok then." Jess rolled his eyes.

"Come on, either you can fly or you're going to go to a great boxing match and win it!"

"Mother. Mother, that's not logical." Jess mocked.

Lorelai stuck her tongue out at him. "Luke! Make Jess stop!" She got up and began to pester Luke.

"Wow. Your mom has nothing better to do than make other people miserable." Jess gently grabbed Rory's hand.

"She got the baby a present though." Rory set the bag in front of him and looked at him expectantly.

"Uh oh. I have a bad feeling about this." Jess opened the gift and pulled out the blue outfit. He sighed. "I thought we agreed, no blue."

"That's what I said, but she insists. So yeah. We should get going. Time for a check up." Rory stood up and pulled Jess with her.

"Hey, where do you think you two are going?" Lorelai shot her head back and began interrogating them immediately.

"Doctor's appointment. Bye mom!" Rory called over her shoulder.

"Is Jess gonna fly?" Lorelai shouted, but they were gone.

- - -

"Mrs. Mariano?" the nurse called her and both Jess and Rory stood up.

"Hi." Rory shyly said.

"Hello, this way. The doctor will be in shortly."

Jess turned to Rory after the nurse left. "So, what are you thinking right now?"

"That I can't wait to see how much the baby has grown. I mean, he has to have grown. Look at me."

"You're beautiful." Jess immediately replied.

"Aww, being a softie are we?"

"Shh, you'll ruin my rebel without a cause rep." Jess covered her mouth and nervously looked around.

Rory giggled. "No seriously though. Your son is growing." Rory placed a hand on her stomach.

"Stop growing mister! Your mother says so." Rory made a face at Jess as the doctor walked in.

"Hello Mrs. Mariano. How are you doing?" Dr. Braxton walked in and greeted them.

"Good." Rory replied smiling.

"Good to hear. Now we're going to do another ultrasound today and examine you. My you have grown a lot since your last visit haven't you?"

Rory blushed. "Yeah, I actually was wondering about that. Am I supposed to be this big at 5 and a half months?"

"Hmm. No. We'll check that out. First let's take you to the ultrasound room." Dr. Braxton thoughtfully replied.

Rory and Jess followed him. "Ok lay down. Remember last time? It's going to be cold. Life up your shirt for me." He squirted some gel on her protruding belly and turned on the machine. "Alright let's see."

Jess smiled at Rory as they saw their baby appear on the screen.

"Hmm." Dr. Braxton murmured to himself.

"What?" Jess looked at him urgently.

"Well, it looks like someone was hiding last time you were here." Dr. Braxton smiled.

"What do you mean?" Rory asked curiously.

"You're having twins Mrs. Mariano."

"What!?" Jess and Rory said in unison.

"Yep. Do you wanna know the sex?"

"Of course." Rory smiled and Jess sat down, feeling dizzy.

"Alright. You are having a baby boy and a baby…" He squinted and smiled. "…girl."

Jess looked up instantly and he looked at Dr. Braxton. "A girl?"

The doctor nodded and smiled. "Congratulations. That explains your rapid growth." He tossed Rory a towel and she began wiping her stomach. Jess helped her up and Rory saw him grinning.

"What?" She asked him giggling softly.

"A girl. A boy and a girl. I hope she looks just like you." He whispered, kissing her softly.

"And I hope he looks just like you." Rory smiled and grunted as Jess helped her off the table.

"Ok. So I want to see you in a couple of weeks. Make sure you eat healthy and try not to overdue it with work and school. Alright?"

"Ok." Rory blushed and followed the doctor to the front where they scheduled another appointment.

- - -

In the car Jess was beaming. Rory looked at him and smirked. "You are turning into a softie!"

"No!"

"Uh huh! So we're having a baby Jess Lucas Mariano and a baby Lorelai Jane Mariano. What do you think about that Mr. Mariano?"

"I'm happy. And you?" Jess stole a glance at her before looking back at the road.

"I'm perfect." Rory smiled and closed her eyes. "Now time to tell mom."

"Yep. Good ol' mother." Jess sarcastically replied.

"Jess, be nice. You guys really love each other, I know it!" She teased.

"Oh yeah, and we'll go skipping around the gazebo holding hands and singing 'Ring Around the Rosie'"

"I can so picture that!" Rory laughed.

"Whatever." Jess rolled his eyes and prepared for an extremely loud encounter at the diner.

- - -

"ADRIAN!" Lorelai shouted as soon as Jess walked inside. Jess rolled his eyes.

"Ma'am" He pretended to tilt his hat in acknowledgement. Lorelai's eyes narrowed and she smiled when Rory walked in.

"So what's the verdict?"

"Well. The babies are healthy." Rory smiled waiting for Lorelai to catch the message.

"That's great!" Lorelai paused and looked curiously at Rory. "Babies!?"

"We're having twins! The other one hid last time, so they didn't see her."

"Oh my gosh! You're having twins! AHH! A baby Jess and a baby Rory!" Lorelai squealed and hugged Rory. Luke came storming out of the storage room and glared at Lorelai.

"What is going on out here? You're going to scare away my costumers!" Luke shouted.

"Twins!" Lorelai managed to get out.

Luke looked at Rory and Jess. "What?"

"We're having twins!" Rory excitedly shouted.

"Wow, congrats guys." Luke hugged Rory and Jess.

"Yeah. Now we are going to have a baby Jess and Rory." Lorelai clapped her hands excitedly.

"So a boy and a girl?" Luke asked.

"Yep." Jess smirked.

"More Christmas presents then!" Lorelai cheered.

"Ah jeez. More shopping." Luke rubbed his forehead.

"Huh." Jess smirked again. "Have fun with that."

"Shut up." Luke punched Jess's arm.

"Ow! Hey, you can't injure a father-to-be! It could cause trauma on the kids and the parents." Jess teased.

"Whatever. Get to work!" Luke commanded.

"Yes sir! I'll go find my hat and plaid shirt." Jess saluted and ran upstairs.

"Ah jeez." Luke grumbled and brought Lorelai her coffee and refusing to give a pregnant Rory some coffee, he finally gives in and brings them their food.

Abrupt ending I know, but I couldn't think of anything else right now. I will be back soon, hopefully! I am working on another story besides this one, so I have to keep working. Review Please! Suggestions and constructive criticism are welcome!! :) Hope you all enjoy!!
