Rory placed her camera on the stand and pressed record before sitting onto the sofa, she sat back "Hello YouTube" she smiled at the camera. "As you can see I'm in a more comfortable position than my last video, unfortunately I was in the hospital late last night due to Braxton hicks contraction but rest assured I am okay for at least another week or two. My stomach has dropped and the baby's head is just above my cervix" Rory explained.
She rubbed her top lip "I don't think me having a baby has sunk in yet" she stated licking her lip "I'm a bit scared when I go into labour but I think everybody's like that"
"This will be a very short video, I have recorded a tour of the nursery so that will be up in the next two days or so and also my video on what I have for my hospital bag that I prepared early this morning" she explained "And also I will inform you when I'm in labour in my comments section but I will be silent for at least between 2 weeks or a month after I give birth"
Rory clapped "Thank you for watching and now I'll be doing my regular belly shot" she stated standing from the sofa and smoothed down her pyjama top tighter round her middle.
"My 37th week bump"
GG
Rory sat at the table as she held a piece a statement of her bank account; she had a calculator next to her pad of paper with a few scribbles on it. She sighed as she looked at the 2 zero's on the end of 3 "funds are running away" she leant back on the chair.
Rory closed her eyes as she couldn't believe all if her wages from working with Andrew at the book shop hadn't lasted 2 months as she thought it would. Her legs are swollen; knees are weak and got tired easily she had to stop going to work as she couldn't last for more than 10 minutes.
Jess leant in the doorway as he watched Rory' put her head down on her arms and sit back up, he licked his lips and remembered the conversation Lorelai gave him a few weeks ago.
Rory sighed "I can't last on this" she whispered.
Jess scratched his head "Hey" he said announcing himself.
Rory jumped "You scared me" she said holding her chest
Jess smiled standing behind her and leaning on the back of her chair "Sorry" he leaned his chin on her shoulder and hugged her from behind "I'm sorry for not trying to talk to you" he whispered.
Rory smiled and patted his hand that was round her "I knew you needed time but I'm not sure why or the reason"
"I didn't think when we were at the hospital the other day when I called you my girlfriend"
Rory pursed her lips "I was hoping you would have not bring this up but it seems you want to talk" Jess nodded, Rory held her head up with her arm as Jess pulled away from the hug.
Jess took a deep breath "I've been hoping I wouldn't of either but I think its right that I"
Rory cut him off and sat side wards on the chair "Don't Jess just because I'm pregnant with your child I don't want to obligate you into a relationship with me"
"Rory that's not it" Jess stated licking his lips "I never thought of you as just the mother of my baby" he stated and reached behind to pull out a bank book from his back pocket and placed it on the table "this has been my savings for the last year"
Rory looked at the table "Jess I can't"
Jess leaned forward "I'm not being obligated I saved all this for the baby anyway, I" he stuttered biting his bottom lip and moved round the seat "I love you" he stated.
Rory licked her lips "You haven't said that in a while"
Jess sighed "I don't say it often but" he paused sitting down staring at his arms that he laid on the table "I mean it when I do" he stated.
Rory closed her eyes for a second before leaning forward on the table "I'm little overwhelmed at the moment, I'm not sure if it's the hormones or not" she sighed.
Jess shrugged "I don't care because I know that deep down this talk wouldn't be so easy if you didn't love me to and I can wait because I know" he explained Rory leant forward and tested her head on her hand which was propped up, Jess watched her "it is true when they say you glow when you're pregnant"
Rory looked up and smiled "ended the awkwardness, I'm very impressed" she licked her lips and looked down.
Jess nodded "if I say so myself" he stated.
Rory bit her bottom lip.

"Oh my poor baby" Lorelai cooed "I knew putting videos online would get some negative response, but this person is so mean"
Rory sighed "it comes with the territory mum"
"Well none the less you can report them can't you?"
Rory laughed "it's not school mum, I've just blocked them from commenting now" she stated drinking her water "blah"
Lorelai laughed "still haven't got used to taste yet"
"There is no taste" Rory shook her head "it's near my due date too I thought my body would get used to it" Rory pushed the glass away.
Lorelai took a sip of her coffee "Mm" she hummed and took another sip and made a loud sigh in enjoyment.
Rory squinted her eyes at her mother "You are meant to be on my side mother" she pouted turning round on the stool "I don't think I want to talk to you now"
Lorelai sighed "You've been such a drama queen since you've had that Jess baby in you"
Rory lifted her head up and stood "if that is how you see it maybe I could look for a new mother" she stated walking away and behind the counter "I want coffee" she whispered as she stood by the coffee machine "You guard me" she pointed at Lorelai's head.
Lorelai put her hands up "such a drama queen" she mumbled.
Rory licked her lip as she watched the dark liquid pool at the bottom of the cup, she smiled quickly looking up before lifting the cup to her lips only to have it yanked from her fingers "No" she exclaimed.
Jess stood beside her "not so fast"
Rory cried out leaning on her elbows on the counter "What good use of a diner below my apartment if I can't use it for free"
Jess poured the coffee down the sink "I'm sorry; you just have wait a little bit longer"
Rory bit her finger "I hate you" she stormed up the stairs.
Jess sighed and put the cup down, he looked up towards the ceiling "God please make that baby pop out of her" he whispered pausing for a second and looked towards to Lorelai.
"Don't worry she's not the best with me either" Lorelai said.
Jess leaned on the counter copying the way Rory was standing "sometimes I should understand I was the one that got her into this mess" he explained walking out from the behind to serve a customer.
Lorelai sighed and looked towards the stairs. Glancing behind her Lorelai stood and pulled back the curtain she was shocked as Rory sat on the stairs "hey"
Rory licked her lips "I always knew this would happen Mom" she stated "I was the one that me into this mess not Jess, I rushed myself" she explained. Holding her head by her elbow on her knee "he told me he loved me face to face"
Lorelai's eyes widened and sat next to her on the stairs.
Rory shook her head "I should have just let him leave and not know" she covered her face "I would have just handled it"
Lorelai shook her head "Don't say that Rory" she placed her hand on the top of her head.
Rory buried her face in her folded arms "I love Jess Mom, I do so much" she looked up "But if he knows, I can't hold him here forever in this little town he hates so much" Lorelai stroked Rory's hair "No matter how many times he says he'll always be here"
Lorelai licked her lips "Rory I know this hurts but he had the courage to tell you he loves you, if he hated this town he would have breezed right out of here as soon as knew you would have been alright" she explained "I'm going to tell you what I told him Rory, talk to him because this thing you have got going on its going to end badly if you tell him or not and the only thing that's going to suffer is that boy growing inside of you"
Lorelai kissed her cheek "I ran away from your Dad because I was a coward, your nothing like me" she stated standing up and walked into the diner.
Rory closed her eyes and covered her face "I'm worse" she whispered.

Jess stretched the next morning and pulled the cover away from him, it was quiet. He got up from the bed walking towards the kitchen and through the bedroom door.
The bed was made and there was no sign of Rory. Jess licked his lips as he glanced behind him as the paper caught his eyes, walking back to the kitchen area he picked up the note with Rory's neat handwriting.
'I'm sorry'
Jess licked his lips looking at the clock above the door and walked back into the bedroom "For what" he stated walking to the wardrobe door, pushing open the door it was empty.
He held the door to his ear as it continued to ring; he hung up on the number and ran into his closet to get changed. He grabbed his jacket and keys before jumping down the stairs 3 at a time, the diner was open already and he sprinted out the door.
Luke looked up "Hey Jess" he called jogging to the door and watched Jess disappear round the corner "Strange" he stated and walked back towards the counter glancing at the stairs and the phone. He licked his lips and dialled Lorelai's number.
"Hello, if it is my mother Goodbye" Lorelai's voice said.
"Jess ran out of the diner in a rush, is Rory in labour?" he asked.
"No, the last time I saw her was yesterday" Lorelai said "why is she in labour then"
"She might be if he didn't bother to say he'll be back"
Lorelai sighed on the end of the line "she was fine yesterday after I talked to her"
"She usually trying to steal coffee at around 6.30"
"One second" she said, there was a few seconds of muffled ringing "She's not answering" she exclaimed "I'll be over" she said slamming the phone down.
Luke put the phone back on the hook "Hey Ceaser I'm just going to pop out" he said putting the pad of paper down on the counter and exiting the diner.
Lorelai came running round the corner just as Jess sprinted past her "Jess, where's Rory"
Jess skidded to a stop "I don't know, she wasn't it bed this morning" he replied "Usually she tried to sneak coffee in the morning and then she comes up to sulk at the table" he looked round "She left a note, I have to find her" he said taking off.
Lorelai turned round "Where did you go?" she whispered
