The Birth

Rory sighed as she sat on the sofa watching TV. She was now nine months pregnant and was expecting any day now. Following the events that had happened at school Tristan's parents had hired some expensive lawyer to try and get him out of trouble. Unfortunately for them Richard hired a more experienced and ultimately better lawyer to represent both Rory and Paris and, with all the evidence against him, Tristan was arrested and imprisoned for his crimes. The rest of the time had gone smoothly with no further problems, Dean was more than ready to accept responsibility to be a Father and now everyone was supporting her. Rory was growing bored with the current channel and picked up the remote when she felt it. The labours pains were starting; she had not been expecting the intense pain and yelped. Lorelai came rushing through.

"Rory!" Rory looked over at her Mother, "The baby, I'm going into labour."

"Just hold on."

Regaining her composure Lorelai helped Rory off the sofa and out to the car, she immediately began driving to the hospital. When they arrived they were immediately sent through to the maternity ward and Dr. Carver came through to check on Rory. Lorelai hurried outside and pulled out her phone, her first phone call was to Dean.

"Dean, you've gotta get down to the hospital, Rory's gone into labour." She said quickly, she could immediately hear him start moving before he even hung up the phone.

After also calling her parents she hurried back inside to help Rory through the painful process of labour.

While Lorelai was coaching Rory through her breathing as she went through the contractions, Emily and Richard arrived, followed shortly afterwards by Dean. Dean hurried forwards and took her free hand.

"Rory." Rory smiled at him, "You made it."

"Of course."

Dean kissed her forehead and sat by her as the long process continued. Four hours into the labour and Lorelai had to leave the room to get something to eat, Emily left with her. As they sat in the cafeteria Lorelai thought for a moment and then sighed.

"Look Mom, I know we haven't seen eye to eye on many things but…I just wanted to thank you for all of this."

Emily smiled, "We're family, it's what we do, I agree we haven't seen eye to eye but, Richard and I were more than happy to help."

Lorelai smiled at that and soon they headed back to the ward and resumed helping Rory throughout the long hours which passed.

Finally after twelve hours of labour Rory was ready and was wheeled through to the delivery room. Lorelai went through with her and continued to coach her while the others waited outside. Dean was nervous and pacing until finally Richard shook his head.

"Listen, just relax, everything's gonna be fine." He told him, Dean turned to him and sighed, "Yeah I…I guess you're right."

Finally Dean sat down. Another two hours passed and then finally the door opened and a nurse stepped out.

"You can come in now; she's just given birth to a baby girl."

They walked in and found Rory sitting upright on the bed, smiling holding her newborn daughter, wrapped in a blanket, in her arms. Rory smiled as they approached.

"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet Ashley."

They all smiled proudly when they saw the little girl. She was the image of her Mother. In fact, she looked so much like Rory that it was impossible to tell Tristan was the Father. Rory was truly happy about that and soon, after everyone had taken a picture, holding the baby, Rory began to feel exhausted from all her efforts. While Rory was allowed to sleep, Lorelai, Emily and Richard left the room and Dean stayed behind, cradling Ashley and smiling.

'Don't worry, I'll be the Father you need, I'll never abandon either of you, I promise.'

With that Dean smiled as he continued to cradle the little girl and watch over Rory as she slept.

End of chapter, I know it was short but I'm not very good with birth scenes. Anyway hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
