Life's Lessons

Chapter 11

It's A...

Rory woke up early the day of her appointment. She was ready to find out if they would be having a boy or a girl. She called her mom before Jess woke up.

"Hello?"

"Mom!" Rory happily greeted.

"Ah! Fruit of my loins! What is going on?" Lorelai instantly brightened up.

"Today is the day mom!" Rory squealed.

"What day could that be?" Lorelai teased.

"The day we find out if we will be having a boy or girl! You should remember these things, grandma!"

"Oh that day." Lorelai replied. Rory rolled her eyes, even though she knew her mom couldn't see her. "Hon, you know I'm excited. I'm just teasing you."

"I know, but I'm so excited, I think I'm gonna go wake Jess up."

"What?! Hubby is still in bed? Shame on him. Tell Rocky Jr. to get out of bed and get ready for the fight!"

"Fight?"

"Yeah! He'll go take out everyone! He'll win, then he can call out for you…" Lorelai burst into laughter just imagining Jess doing that.

"Whatever. Jess wouldn't do that, but I gotta go. I'll call you later to fill you in. Ok?"

"Sure sweets. Love ya, and tell Jess hi."

"Will do. Bye!" Rory hung up the phone and walked to the bedroom. Jess was still sleeping, his head under the pillow and he was sprawled half under and half over the blankets. Rory smiled, he looked so cute when he was sleeping.

"Jessie!" Rory called to him. Jess mumbled and pulled the pillow over his head more. Rory giggled and walked over to the bed and climbed in next to him. "Jess."

"Mmm" Jess mumbled.

Rory rolled her eyes and laid next to him. Grabbing his hand and placing it on her stomach. Jess started to move slightly and removed the pillow from his head, turning to look at Rory.

"Hey there sleepy." Rory whispered and smiled. Jess' hair was disheveled and he looked half asleep. He gently smiled and began sitting up, not moving his hand from Rory's stomach.

"You ready for today?" He asked, yawning.

"Of course." Rory grinned. "We'll get to pick a name! Our baby won't be it anymore!"

Jess chuckled softly. He got up, and kissed Rory. "You eat yet?"

"Nope. Too excited."

"Rory, you need to eat something." Jess frowned and helped her out of bed.

"Fine. Pancakes with fruit?" Rory asked, childlike.

Jess smirked. "Ok." Jess walked to the closet, grabbing a shirt and some jeans and getting dressed.

When Jess and Rory got to the hospital, Rory was beaming. She couldn't hide her excitement. Jess watched her closely and smiled, she looked beautiful.

They were in the waiting room and the nurse finally called them. Jess stood up first, taking Rory's hand and walking with her following the nurse.

"Alright Mrs. Mariano. Just lie down here and we'll put on the gel. It's going to be cold."

Rory lifted up her shirt and the nurse squirted the gel on her stomach, Rory flinched and Jess squeezed her hand gently.

"Ok. There is your baby's heartbeat. There's the head, hands, feet…hmmm…the baby doesn't want to cooperate with us right now. Let's see…ah, there you go! Congratulations, you are having a baby boy." The nurse smiled.

Rory looked at Jess and grinned. Jess was stunned. Now they could call their baby a him. And they would be able to pick a name. He looked at Rory and smiled.

The nurse cleaned Rory's stomach off and Jess helped her up.

"Well we will schedule another appointment for two months, to check up on you two and you should be set." The nurse replied, leading them back to the waiting room.

Rory and Jess were silent the whole ride home, they were thinking. They were happy and they just wanted to bask in the peace. Upon arrival home, Rory's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Loin fruit! You didn't call me! How'd it go? I need to know, it's driving me crazy not knowing!" Lorelai ranted.

"Mom! Oh my gosh, I totally forgot, we got caught up in the excitement." Rory smiled. She motioned Jess over.

"Well don't hold back, tell me."

"Ok, we'll both tell you." Rory turned to Jess and grabbed his hand. "Ready?"

"Yes yes! Don't leave me in suspense!" Lorelai whined.

Rory looked at Jess and he nodded. "We're having a boy!" They both said happily.

"Aww! Another little hoodlum."

"Hey!" Jess feigned hurt.

"What, it's true." Lorelai defended.

"Mom, he won't be a hoodlum, I'll make sure of it." Rory giggled.

"Ok, well I'm gonna go tell Luke the big news. Call me later sweets, and come visit me soon. I miss you."

"I miss you too mom. And tell Luke Jess and I say hi."

"Ok hon, bye."

In the house Rory and Jess sat down on the couch, tired.

"So do you have any names in mind?" Rory asked.

"Maybe." Jess smirked.

"Oh come on, you have to tell me."

"I will. How about this, we'll make a list over the next few weeks and then we'll show them to each other and pick out the ones we both like. After we narrow it down, we'll combine names and decide from there." Jess suggested.

"Sound good to me. But no Ernest or Hemmingway. I put my foot down there." Rory glared at Jess.

"Fine." Jess sighed, pretending to cross out two names.

"So it's beginning then?" Rory asked.

"What is?"

"Parenthood."

"Rory, I think that it started 5 months ago."

"Yeah. I'm tired. I think I'll take a nap."

"I'm gonna join you. Since someone was up at early hours that we will not speak of this morning."

Rory turned to him. "Hey! I was excited!"

"I know. Come on, the bed is calling us." Jess smirked and they went to take a nice, long nap.

There you have it! A baby boy! I have read a lot of stories where they have a girl, it's time they had a boy. So what do you think about Jess' idea? Good huh? Very like them I think. Any name ideas? Please leave comments if you have any...and please review!! Remember, reviews are like coffee!! ;)

Thanks,
