Rory leaned on the table as she fiddled on her laptop; she sat in the diner in one of the corner tables and gritted her teeth. She looked up at Jess who was standing behind her, a few people in the diner stared "Okay you can stop staring at me, the hooligan has returned" Jess said sitting down in the opposite seat.
Rory giggled "it will be over soon" she said.
Jess's eyes widened "I've been back for at least a week, I'm uncomfortable by their scrutiny" he stated leaning on his crossed arms on the table, he looked over at Rory's computer "What that?" he asked.
Rory turned it round "My online blog and youtube channel" she stated.
"I documented everything of my pregnancy" Rory shrugged "There is others like me"
Jess looked down at the table.
Rory leaned back on her seat "I didn't think you would come back Jess" she replied "I started it for that reason but now its something of my life that I want to document. I love watching the changes"
Jess nodded "you didn't think I would come back" he said.
Rory nodded "You left before I even found out I was pregnant. When I told you. You stayed away for 7 months. So yes I didn't think you would come back and I would have to raise this baby myself"
Jess sighed "I'm here"
Rory nodded "my youtube channel is LorelaiLeighandJunior and my blog is the same no mentions of names or which part of conneticut I'm from" she explained. Jess rubbed his eye and stood up as Rory closed he laptop "I was wondering if you would come to my first 3D Scan with me. Usually Mom goes with me but"
"Yeah"
Rory nodded "Okay, its next week at 10.15"

"Lorelai Gilmore" the doctor said as he walked out of his office, he stood at the counter handing something to the receptionist.
Rory put her hand on the chairs arm rest and lifted herself up. Jess helped her with his hand on her back. "Yeah" she said finally standing up.
Jess shut the door behind them.
The OBGYN smiled "How are we today?"
Rory nodded "Okay I just feel huge" she stated.
The doctor laughed "That is normal at your stage, don't worry" he reassured her.
Rory mentioned to Jess standing nervously at the side "This is"
"I'm the Dad" Jess said.
"It is finally great to meet you. Rory has mentioned a lot about you" the doctor said "so first we will check to see where your baby's head is at the moment and then we get to your 3D ultrasound."
Rory licked her lips and put her shirt up.
The doctor put some gloves onto his hand and put his hands on Rory's belly and pressed down, Rory winced "I can feel that the baby's head has moved since last time I saw you"
Rory nodded "I usually feel a foot this side especially at night" she said mentioning to her side where Jess stood.
"As your only 31 weeks its perfectly normal for the baby to be there" The doctor explained, he lifted his hands from her bump "I'll be back with the 3D Machine if you could just wait for a few seconds" the doctor left.
The doctor hadn't been gone for more than a few seconds, wheeling back a different machine into the room. The doctor set everything up as he held the doppler. "Here we go" he said pressing a button on the keyboard. The orange 3D scan prjected onto the wall.
The doctor smiled as he moved it to see the baby's face "Looks like he's shy today" he said.
Jess stared at the wall of the 3D scan, the baby's hand covered its face. "he just stuck his tongue out" Rory said next to him. Jess watched the orange body, the baby's face came into view as he moved his hand. Jess swallowed, the baby moved his head to the side so they could see his entire round face.
The doctor smiled "I will print a picture out. We have started to record 3D scan's if you want one. You get to see the baby move and listen to te heartbeat." the doctor explained.
Rory nodded "1st and last 3D scan though"
The doctor pressed a key with the mouse and the room had filled with a steady heartbeat "his heart sounds good so I think there will be no worries" he explained letting the ultrasound go on for at least a minute before freezing the screen "And there is your baby boy" he said.
Rory looked up at Jess as he stared into space, she bit her bottom lip "Jess" she called.
The doctor and had left the room to recieve the dvd and pictures while Rory had gotten dressed. Jess stared at the picture on the wall "this seems so real" he stated.
Rory put on her jacket "yeah" she whispered.
Jess was leaning on the bed beside her "I'm terrified that when he comes out he's not going to like me" he explained.
Rory smiled grabbing Jess's hand and intertwining her fingers with his "there's no need to worry" she stated.
Jess shook his head "Jimmy was so supportive for Liz when she was pregnant" he stated "He attended every appointment, every class and read every book possible but He took a look at me when i was born. And he abandoned me because he's scared. What if I see him when he's born and I want to run too" Jess looked down on the floor "how do I know if I will be a good Dad"
Rory looked over her shoulder at the paused projection on the wall "Because that's your son Jess, not Jimmy's" she said pointing at the baby scan. She put her hand under Jess's chin bring his head up to look into his eyes "You know what it feels like. You know what it feels like to grow up without a father and i know you will give everything to your son. Give him everything you never had." She explained.
"But what-
Rory put her finger on his lips "No more Jess. You will be a great Dad. You just need to start believing in it" Rory kissed him on the lips "Because i do"
Jess closed his eyes as they pressed their foreheads together.

"Hey Youtube today is my 32nd week. I would love to share with you my 3D Scan of my baby boy. Everything is fine with the baby's heartbeat and its development. So I would like to point out that the picture im going to show you has been edited" Rory stated.
A picture of 3D Ultrasound showed up on the screen.
Rory was looking down at the notepad "Also before I forget I will be not revealing name until the birth. So please continue to give name suggestions"
"Hopefully next video is what's in my hospital bag? And also the after birth hospital bag"
"Rory" A man's voice said.
"I'm doing youtube video" Rory called.
"Ill be out in the kitchen" he called back.
Rory smiled at the screen "Sorry about that. That is Jess. The baby's dad. He's on board about this whole youtube channel but he refuses to be on it" she shrugged putting her hand to cover her mouth and whispered "he's shy"
Rory stood up lifting up her shirt "This is my huge 32nd bump"
Rory sat back down and sneezed "Sorry there is a lot interuptions" she said sneezing again "Thank you for watching so far and hopefully my next video will be up soon"
Rory waved at the screen "Bye"
