Luke looked around the waiting area as Lorelai walked out of Rory's room "she's dozed off again but I dont know what she will be like once Jess is still gone" she explained crossing he arms over her chest "Where the hell is that heartbreaker"

Luke sat down on one of the waiting rooms chairs and leaned his hands n his knees "He was so sure of himself" Lorelai put her hand on Luke's shoulder "I'm sure he's just thinking or"

Lorelai bither bottom lip "or he just bolted"

Luke stod up "I don't believe that Lorelai and I thought"

Lorelai shook he head and tok a step back "You thought what that Jess would prove me wrong and actually stay for Rory and baby" she stated and sat down "Of course I believed that"

Luke rubbed the back of his head "where would he go?"

Lorelai stood and walked back to Rory's room "I better stay with Rory, i'm sure once she wakes up she'll be hystirical"

Luke nodded "okay" Lorelai left and Luke walked down the corridor.

-GG-

Jess stared into the glass of the hospital nursery, Rory stood leaning against the frame "I promised I wasn't my father" he stated.

Rory licked her lips and held onto the IV pole that was still attached to her arms "they had to give me something to calm me down" she explained and moved forward to stand next to him "I knew where you were though" she looked into the glass.

Jess licked his lips "they always say when they are looking down at their kid that they wonder how they made them" Jess moved his hand on the sill "but he came from you"

Rory threaded her arm through his while holding onto the IV the other side "all that worrying about the birth but I think it was worth it in the end" she rested her head on his shoulder "what shall we call him"

Jess looked down at Rory kissing her forehead and turned back round to the look at the baby boy in the second row right on the left side. the boy had dark fluff of hair and had a mix of Rory's and Jess's features. the baby stirred and stuck his thumb in his mouth.

Rory licked her lips "I'm not sure" she answered honestly "I had a few names but I didn't want to decide on my own"

Jess nodded "we will think of something but he has no temporary name above his head"

Rory picked her head up from his shoulder "What if we just put Mariano there for now" Jess looked up with surprise, Rory smiled "I think we'll come up with a great name, something so different"

Jess took a deep breath "I held him as you passed out"

Rory laughed and buried her face into his back "I'm not so sure I remember passing out but" she asked. Jess licked his lips "I remember feeling his soft skin" she explained.

Jess moved his arm and held Rory's waist "he has the softest skin" he stated "We'll get back to your room and ask the nurses if he can stay with you in your room"

Rory nodded and glanced back at the baby "Isaac James Mariano"

"What?"

Rory gestetured to the window "I like James but I want something meaningful in his name"

Jess leaned on the ledge looking over at Luke as he saw them and smiled. Luke disappeared again and Jess kissed the side of Rory's head "Harvey-James William Mariano"

Rory smiled "Its a great name"

-GG-

Rory closed her eyes and held her head up with her fist. She listened to the soft breathing of Harvey beside the bed as Jess lowered him into the moses basket, down at the bottom. Jess sat on the bed and leant back onto his back "1st week home and your exhausted"

Rory opened her eyes and smiled "I feel exhausted but im"

Jess licked his lips "overwelmed"

Rory nodded closing her eyes again and listened to Harvey's soft breathing. She leant back against the headboard and sighed. "the books say he'll be awake soon for another feed" she stated.

Jess interlinked his fingers in his lap. he looked over at the clock and put his hands on the bed "get some sleep" he whispered and leant forward to stand up. He looked down as Rory took a hold of Jess's fingers.

Rory looked up at him "Stay with me"

Jess licked his lips "you need your sleep" he stroked her knuckles with his thumb "I'll only be over there" he stated.

Rory bit her bottom lip "I'm tired, please stay. I don't want to be alone at the moment" Rory gently pulled him back down on the bed. she laid down on her side letting Jess's hand go. Jess took a deep breath and laid down next her. Jess took his jacket off and threw it onto the chair beside Rory's hospital bag.

Rory stroked the baby's head and leaned into Jess's side as he sat on the bed beside her the next morning. Rory sighed and closed her eyes as she moved him slightly. Jess looked down at Rory's chest.

Rory looked up and hit him in the chest "can you stop?" she said.

Jess still stared down "I can't help it, when I see boobs I always have to look" he stated "wow he's going to town" Jess jibed. Rory rolled her eyes as she switched Harvey to her other breast, she winced.

Rory leaned into Jess's side "I thought I would have been asking mum for help all the time but parenting isn't so bad ater all" she stated gazing at her son as she bought him to her shoulder. She burped him by patting him on the back.

Jess licked his lips moving Rory's hair over her shoulder "Your not as bad as you thought" he stated.

Rory leant over and placed Harvey into the moses basket as he ha fallan asleep after letting out a huge burp "I think its easier because your here" she said as she covered him with a dark blue blanket. she glanced at the clock on the bedside table "I have to get up and get everything sorted and then have a shower before he wakes up again" she said

Jess watched her as she smoothed the blanket "off to see Lane?" he trailed his hand down her spine as she stood.

Rory leand over to her hospital bag and placed it on her lap "yeah, Mrs Kim is reigning in more tightly so Lane was able to get a free hour today" she stated zipping open the bag. she looked inside, taking out a folder and placing it in the side drawer. She stood and walked into the bathroom and emptyed the bag in the hamper.

Jess shuffled to the end of the bed with his back to the bathroom. he scratched the back of his head and stood. He stood beside the moses basket and turned round "Rory"

"Mm"

Jess put his hands to his side and leant his knees against the bed "I'm Sorry"

Rory looked over her shoulder and smiled "Why?" she whispered.

Jess climbed over the bed and stood in the doorway. Jess took her hand and pulled her towards him. Rory looked up from under her lashes "I've wanted to say it a lot of times but I'm sorry that I lied to you. About why I left or why I didnt say anything on that bus. I have trouble in telling people things. You and Harvey are the only thing that's improtant to me." he explained.

Rory shook her head "I already know that, Jess. because you and Harvey important to me too"

Jess licked his bottom lip "I love you"

Rory smiled brightly "I love you too" she said standing on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. afte a few seconds she hugged Jess round the middle "We're going to alright
