Life's Lessons

Chapter 15

Good News...Sudden Changes

"We're having a baby!" Lorelai happily announced. Rory and Jess' heads snapped up in shock and Rory grinned.

"Really? It's about time I had a little sibling!" Rory hugged her mom and Luke. Jess smirked and turned to Luke giving him a hug.

"Wow, someone can feel like a man now." Jess teased.

"Don't get wise with me." Luke snapped.

Jess chuckled and put his arm around Rory. Lorelai laughed at Luke while he pouted angrily.

"So do you know if it's going to be a boy or a girl yet?" Rory asked.

"Nope, we won't know for a few more months." Lorelai replied.

"Ok, cuz we want to know that way we can shop and buy presents for him or her." Rory said.

Jess raised his eyebrow and turned to Rory. "If we can afford it! Rory, we have our baby on the way too."

"I know, but we have to get them something." Rory insisted. Jess sighed and nodded.

"Alright."

"Yay!" Rory squealed and hugged Jess.

"Alright, alright, why don't we get everyone into the living room and we'll sit down and talk." Luke urged them.

"Sounds good to me, I'm exhausted!" Rory said, holding onto Jess for support.

"Well you are pregnant." Lorelai reminded her.

"So are you!" Rory accused.

"Ok, ok, enough with the fighting!" Jess broke up the bickering women. "You go ahead, I'll get the rest of our stuff."

"I'll help." Rory insisted.

"I don't know…" Jess hesitated.

"I'll just carry the light stuff. Besides I want to see my man in action." Rory whispered to him.

Jess smirked. "Your man huh? Well we better see what he can do."

Rory giggled and followed him to the car. Jess handed her purse to her and a bag of snacks they had brought with them. Rory watched as Jess pulled out their suitcases and carried them with ease.

"You coming?" Jess asked, turning to her.

"Yeah." Rory smiled and waddled behind him. The put their stuff in Rory's old bedroom and sat down on her bed.

"You ok?" Jess asked as he watched Rory lay down and close her eyes.

"Mhmm. Just tired." Rory mumbled, rubbing her stomach gently. "Just a few more months. It seems like forever."

Jess leaned back and laid down next to her. "It won't be that long." Jess put his hand on top of Rory's and closed his eyes too. Rory cuddled up next to him and within minutes both were asleep.

Lorelai heard Jess and Rory bring in their things, but she hadn't seen them since. She walked to the window to see if they were still out there, but they weren't. Lorelai frowned and went to Rory's room, she opened the door quietly and saw the happy couple sleeping. She smiled and closed the door.

"Luke, are you gonna make something to eat? I'm starving!" Lorelai complained.

"Yeah, yeah, calm down." Luke grunted.

"How can you tell your pregnant wife that? And there is also another pregnant woman in this house who will need feeding too!"

"Is Rory ok?" Luke asked alert.

"Yeah, she's fine. They're sleeping right now, you should see. They look so happy."

"They seem happy." Luke smiled. Lorelai sat down at the table and looked at Luke.

"How's Jess doing? You talk to him right? Are things good for him?"

"Yeah, he's doing good. He hasn't mentioned anything, so I assume all is well." Luke replied, cooking.

Rory's eyes opened slowly. She smelled food and instantly wanted something to eat. She turned to Jess' sleeping form and kissed him. Jess stirred and mumbled something incoherently. Rory giggled and kissed him again.

Jess woke up and smiled at Rory. "Hey."

"Hey yourself." Rory grinned.

"What's going on?" Jess asked sitting up and looking around.

"We're hungry." Rory frowned. Jess rolled his eyes and helped Rory up.

"Of course. Something smells good, I wonder what Luke's making?"

"I don't know, let's go see." Rory stood up and had sat down quickly.

"What?" Jess rushed to her.

"I just felt really dizzy for a second, I'm fine really." Rory assured Jess. Jess looked at her anxiously and sighed. He helped her up again, but she flinched in pain.

"Rory!" Jess was holding her now.

"OW!" Rory screamed.

"Rory! What's wrong?!"

"Ow! Something's not right! It hurts Jess!" Rory cried.

Lorelai opened the door and rushed in. "What's going on?"

"I don't know! Rory just collapsed and now she's in pain."

"We need to get her to the hospital." Lorelai instructed.

Jess nodded and picked Rory up. "OW!" Rory was grasping her stomach and crying.

"You're gonna be fine Ror." Jess whispered to her.

"Luke, we need to go now!" Lorelai shouted.

"What? Why?" Luke asked walking out of the kitchen and spotting Jess and Rory. "Ok, get in the car and I'll be right there."

"Hurry!" Lorelai shouted.

Jess practically ran to the car and got in the back seat with her. Lorelai got in the passenger seat and honked for Luke. Luke ran out of the house and got in the car.

They drove to the hospital in a rush, Lorelai hoping that everything would be ok, Luke worrying about Jess and Rory, Jess worried about Rory and the baby, and Rory worrying about the baby.

"OW!!!" Rory screamed and cried. Jess clutched her and tried to soothe her.

"Hurry Uncle Luke!" Jess shouted.

"I'm going as fast as I can!"

"Well go faster!"

"Jess, I'm already speeding as it is, we can't get pulled over, that will just make it harder to get to the hospital faster." Luke yelled back.

Jess looked at Rory in his arms and frowned. Rory clung onto him and held her stomach in pain.

"You're gonna be fine." Jess whispered in her ear as she whimpered.
