"Okay so I was thinking maybe we should pull a Rory, ya know make a pro/con list, it seems to be our only option, how are we going to decide any other way?" Zack emphasized.

"Zack I thought I told you not to say that name in this house, besides I'm not letting the fate of our son rest on a pro/con list" Lane angrily replied.

"Well than how are we going to decide? This is a big decision. I'm just saying we already have some pro's; like if Steve were too skip two grades then he could probably have his pick of colleges, and I'm sure we can build more on that" Zack answered sheepishly.

"Yes but we also have con's; like what if the other kids pick on him because he's younger? Not to mention we would be splitting the boys up, because let's face it Kwan isn't that smart" Lane protested.

"But this could be a big opportunity, Steve is way smarter than I've ever dreamed of being, he could do anything. Who knows maybe he could even come up with the cure for cancer, wouldn't that be great babe!" Zack replied.

"Listen Zack why don't we just wait another year, okay, then the baby will be here and we can see if Steve is really ready to skip two grades, and until then let's just focus on getting him more prepared, in the event that he does skip grades" Lane hissed.

"But babe…" Zack started.

"No Zack we're done, besides we have to think about Kwan too, he's really struggling at school and Mrs. Gleason thinks it would be best if we pull him out of regular school in favor of a less advanced program" Lane interrupted.

"Which, I think is absolutely pointless, the kid'll be fine, and if he has his Dad's guitar skills than he won't need school," Zack noted.

"Yes but what if he doesn't want to be a guitarist, plus I thought you should always want better for your kids, just because you're a good guitarist doesn't mean you make a lot of money, and I know because I balance the checkbook, we should want both Kwan and Steve to be happy in whatever career they like" Lane observed.

"Well Kwan shouldn't be the priority right now, Steve is the one we should be worried about, his future is in our hands, if Kwan can't find a job then I'm sure Luke or Lorelai would give him one, and he could live here with us. But with Steve we could have a whole nation in our hands. Can't you see it now… and the Nobel Prize Winner is… Steve Van Gerbig! Can't you see it babe?" Zack exclaimed.

"… Zack do you think we show too much favoritism towards Steve?" Lane questioned.

"What? No way we hang out with him all the time, besides he's never shown any interest in school, we shouldn't worry about him, I'm sure he'll be just fine" Zack stressed. "Like I said I'm sure having two musical parents gave him some kind of talent in music, I bet he'll be like a famous guitarist for a band as big as Sting or something."

"I hope so, I'm telling you Zack I really hope this baby is a girl because I don't know if I can handle anymore boys" Lane shivered.

"Ya can you see it babe! The world's first brother and sister pair to win the Nobel Prize!" Zack crooned.

"Zack the baby is going to be whatever she wants to be and if she doesn't want to win a Nobel Prize then she's not going to win the Nobel Prize!" Lane scolded.
