He followed the doctor down the hall to the nursery and after quickly donning the green scrubs he was allowed inside. The nurse led him to two bassinets, one holding a baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket and the other holding his younger sister in a pink blanket. Luke leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on both of his children's foreheads.
"Hi Will, hi Emma," he whispered quietly, "I'm your daddy."
"I'm so happy to finally have you two here," Luke continued speaking quietly, "Your mommy and I are so excited to meet you. Your mommy…well, your mommy is a bit crazy, but I promise that it is a good crazy. She's addicted to coffee and junk food and I swear to you she will not pass that on to you, at least, not if I have anything to say about it. Your Aunt Lorie was born today, that's your big sister's daughter. Rory, you guys are going to love Rory. She's the best step-daughter a guy could have and she'll be an awesome sister to you guys to."
Luke paused for a minute, feeling silly for talking to his children who obviously couldn't understand him at all, but he didn't care. Talking to them, being with them made him feel close to Lorelai and he needed to feel close to her.
"There are a lot of people who are going to want to meet you guys really soon," Luke continued, "I promise not to let it get too crazy. Now I'm going to go see your mommy and tell her all about you two. You'll see her soon, I promise."
Standing up Luke leaned down to kiss the foreheads of Will and Emma again before slipping out of the nursery door. Quickly discarding the scrubs he made his way down the hallway and into the waiting room to let everyone know the Dane's babies had arrived.
-----------------------------
Lorelai lay in her bed, the fog slowly lifting from her head, and she struggled to gain a coherent idea of her surroundings. Unconsciously she let her hand drift to rub her stomach and was surprise to find it flat.
"What?" she murmured quietly trying to keep her emotions in check until she knew what was happening. Gathering up enough strength she pressed the call button and waited until a nurse joined her in her room.
After what seemed like hours, only in reality it was just a few minutes, a perky blonde-haired nurse entered her room in a breeze.
"Mrs. Danes?" she asked and Lorelai nodded slowly, her blue eyes wide open. "Welcome back, you've had everyone quite worried about you."
"Where…" Lorelai tried to ask, her throat sore and scratchy. "My babies?"
"Emma and Will are perfectly happy and healthy and with their daddy right now," the nurse answered, "Let me get Doctor Grey and he'll explain everything."
Lorelai nodded but the nurse was already out the door.
So, Lorelai thought, I had my babies and I didn't even know it? How long have I been out of it? What happened? I don't remember much. I remember…what do I remember? I was talking to Rory…oh my God Rory! I wonder if she's had Lorie yet. What am I thinking? I'm sure she has. Who knows how long I've been…what unconscious? I need to see Luke, poor Luke. I'm sure he's been worried sick.
"Lorelai," Doctor's Grey voice asked from the opening of her room, "it's good to see you awake and responsive. Maria, get her a glass of water please, her throat is probably sore."
"Thanks," Lorelai managed to whisper.
"Don't try and talk yet," Doctor Grey informed her, "wait till you've had something to wet your throat, it'll feel much better."
Lorelai nodded and Doctor Grey came around to the side of her bed and studied the machines next to her closely.
"You gave us quite a scare Lorelai," Doctor Grey spoke again; "I'm going to ask you some questions. Nod or shake your head in answer okay?" Doctor Grey waited for her to nod her head in agreement before he continued.
"Do you remember what happened?" Lorelai shook her head no.
"You collapsed in Rory's hospital room yesterday evening," Doctor Grey informed her looking down at his watch, "almost twenty four hours ago. You've been out ever since."
Lorelai desperately wanted to talk, to ask more questions, but she listened to the advice of her doctor and stayed silent.
"Doctor Grey," the nurse Maria interrupted, "here is her water. Do you need anything else for Mrs. Danes?"
"Yes," Doctor Grey said turning to her, "Mr. Danes should be in the nursery with their children, could you please get him and also prepare their bassinets for travel, I'm sure mommy here would like to see her babies."
Lorelai nodded her head and Doctor Grey chuckled while he handed her the glass of water, "Drink this Lorelai, you should be able to talk here in just a minute with much more ease. Now, as for Will and Emma, they are both fine. Your body started having contractions around seven this morning and we weren't able to stop them. At just after ten we took you in for a c-section."
"What happened to me?" Lorelai whispered hoarsely, the liquid soothing her sore throat.
"Honestly Lorelai," Doctor Grey answered, "we don't know what caused you to faint and be out for so long. Every test we ran came back clear. The only thing that anyone can think of is an over amount of stress and dehydration."
"And Emma and Will?" she asked.
"Are perfectly fine and the envy of the rest of the maternity ward, you and Luke have two beautiful children. Would you like to know the details of their births?"
"Yes please," Lorelai agreed quickly and Doctor Grey pulled the clipboard from the end of her bed just as the door opened and Luke came barreling in.
"Lorelai thank god," Luke breathed, kissing her temple gently, "you scared the hell out of me."
"Sorry," Lorelai answered quietly and Luke shook his head, turning his attention to Doctor Grey.
"How is she?" Luke asked and the doctor nodded.
"She's doing great Luke," he answered, "we were just talking about Will and Emma."
Luke turned his attention back to Lorelai, "oh babe they are gorgeous. Perfect really. Maria, their nurse, is or was right behind me. As soon as she said you were awake I came running though."
"I want to see them," Lorelai whispered and Luke nodded. "I want to know about them."
Doctor Grey came closer, "I'd be happy to share that information. William Richard Danes was born first, at 11:43 am, 6 lbs 4 ounces, and 21 inches long. Emma Victoria Danes followed quickly after and was born at 11:49 am. She was 6 lbs, 2 ounces and 22 inches long."
"How is Rory?" Lorelai asked after a quiet second. "Did she have Lorie?"
"Yes," Doctor Grey answered quickly, "and both mother and daughter are doing amazing. Lorelai was born about twenty minutes before the twins. They will all share the same birthday."
"Gotta love the irony," Lorelai muttered and was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Doctor Grey," Maria said as she poked her head in the door, "I have the Dane's babies."
"Bring them in Maria," Doctor Grey told her and she and another nurse wheeled in two bassinets. "Lorelai, meet your children."
Lorelai sat up with the help of Luke and looked lovingly at her children, "hey angels." Looking up at Luke she had tears in her blue eyes, "they are beautiful."
Will and Emma were awake and alert, their blue eyes shining bright up at their parents. Underneath the hats on their heads spilled dark brown hair, "Will has your nose, Luke."
"And Emma's already started using her patented Gilmore pout," Luke said with a chuckle, "You should have seen me earlier with them."
Lorelai giggled softly as she kissed Luke soundly before turning back towards their children, "I can't believe it Luke. They are here, our babies. We're parents, well, again."
"You want to hold one?" Luke asked and Lorelai nodded happily. Luke picked up Will and placed him in his mother's arms.
"Hey Will," Lorelai spoke softly, "I'm your mommy and I think you are just perfect." Lorelai looked over at Luke who now had Emma in his arms, "you're perfect too Emma, both of my babies are perfect."

"Logan," Rory called from her bed, "Logan please get me out of here. I can't stand being in this place anymore."
"Ace," Logan scolded, "They want to keep you and Lorie here overnight. We will all get to go home tomorrow, you just had her a couple hours ago, and you still need your rest."
"A couple hours ago? Logan please? It's been plenty of time and I'm hungry for real food, not this hospital crap."
"I'm sorry Ace," Logan apologized for the millionth time, "but you can't go home tonight. Lorie is only eight hours old, give it time."
"They better let me leave tomorrow," Rory grumbled and Logan held in a laugh.
"We are springing you and Lorie out of here at noon tomorrow, it's been guaranteed."
"Good, I'm holding you to that Huntzberger."
"That was expected," Logan said, "so, I'm glad visiting hours are over now. I was getting aggravated with my parents."
"They were really nice Logan," Rory argued, "bringing all that stuff for Lorie and me. They are really excited to have a granddaughter."
"I don't know…"
"Give them a break Logan," Rory told her fiancé, "I want them to have a part in Lorie's life."
"Me too, really, I just don't want them to make her feel like they made me feel when I was younger."
"We won't let them," Rory assured him, "plus, it's always different when it is grandkids. They have more leeway."
"I guess you're right," Logan said, "I wish they would let Lorie stay in here with us."
"She needs to be watched in the nursery, I understand that. I just wish I knew how mom was doing. It's been hours since I've heard anything. Though," Rory said, "I do say that my step-siblings are tied for second at the most adorable babies in the nursery tonight."
"Lorie takes number one?"
"Of course," Rory said smiling, "with my killer blue eyes and your blond hair, she's going to be one gorgeous kid."
"She's not dating till she's forty."
"Logan…"
"Okay, okay, thirty."
"You, Logan Huntzberger, are quite the comedian. We don't have to discuss our newborn daughter's dating life for several years though."
"Agreed."
"Will you do me a favor?" Rory asked and Logan nodded immediately.
"Will you go check on my mom for me? I want to know how she is."
"Of course," Logan said bending down and placing a kiss on her lips. "I'll be right back."
"Thanks."
Logan left his fiancé's side for the first time in hours in search of his in-laws. He was pleasantly surprised to find Luke by Lorelai's bedside and Lorelai awake and alert.
"Knock, knock," Logan greeted, poking his head in, not wanting to disturb their moment.
"Logan! Come in," Lorelai greeted, "how is Rory doing?"
"Rory is going great," he answered smiling, "ready and wanting to get out of here. But she's concerned about you. How are you doing?"
"Apparently much better than an hour ago," Lorelai said quickly, "Doctor Grey states I'll be perfectly fine."
"Good," Logan breathed, "I'm going to see if the nurses will let Rory come over here. I know she'll want to see you."
"I want to see her too," Lorelai agreed and Luke nodded, "and maybe they'll let Lorie in too. I want to see my first grandchild."
"I'll see what I can do," Logan agreed with a proud smile, "I'll be back."
Logan quickly walked over the nurse's station and agreed with the night nurse Katie to let him get Lorie and Rory and bring them into Lorelai's room. Ten minutes later they were all together.
"Mom," Rory cried, "I was so worried about you. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine babe," Lorelai assured her daughter. "Doctor Grey has given me a clear bill of health. Now, I don't want to talk about me, I want to see this beautiful baby girl that is my grandbaby."
Rory smiled, handing Lorie to her mother as Logan now held Will and Luke still cuddled Emma in his arms.
"This is perfect," Lorelai sighed happily, "all of us, here together, celebrating life."
"Yeah," Rory agreed and Luke and Logan nodded their heads silently. "I'm proud of you mom."
"Oh hon," Lorelai exclaimed, "I'm proud of you too and I'm so glad that you moved back home."
"Me too mom," Rory agreed with a small laugh, "I wouldn't want to be anywhere but here."
