Hello all! I have been working on this story since the day after the Premiere. I loved AYITL, but those last four words! Come on. I had to give myself some closure just in case it does not come in the future. I hope you enjoy! I haven't written for a copy of years, so I may be a little rusty. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Rory never thought she would be in this position, but here she was. She was sitting on the stairs of the iconic gazebo in the middle of her beloved Stars Hallow with her best friend, her mom, getting ready to have one of the hardest conversations she would ever have. So many things had happened in or around this gazebo in her 32 years. It was almost fitting that she would be sitting her now. She said, "Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm pregnant."

Then the silence hits. Rory was holding her breath as she waits for any kind of response. She said, "Mom? Say something, please."

Lorelai replied, "Please tell me it isn't the wookie."

If this hadn't been such a serious topic, Rory would have had to laugh. Her mother always came up with something to say in the most difficult times. "No, thank goodness. I went to the doctor yesterday and the time frame only fits one person."

"Oh, honey."

"Mom, I know I am 32 years old, but I'm scared. I don't know the first thing about being a parent. This is going to hate me."

Lorelai wrapped her arms around her daughter. She told her, "You turned out okay. I had no idea what I was doing, plus I was half your age. It is scary, but you will be a great mom. You know that Luke and I will be here for you and help any way that we can. Just make sure that that child does not call me grandma. I am too young for that."

Rory chuckled. "I think we can do that. So, what's it going to be? Gigi? Mimi? Yaya? Nana? What is it with grandparents picking two syllable names that hardly sound anything similar to grandma."

Lorelai laughed. "I have no idea. There are so many options to choose from. What about young beautiful nana Lorelai?"

"Like a one year old will ever be able to say all of that."

"Your kid will be able to. You are a genius. I don't know where you got it from. So, what's your next move, kid?"

"I have to find a job that pays. Then I have to get out of your house."

"You and the offspring can stay as long as you need to. You know that as soon as Luke finds out there will be no more coffee and more vegetables."

Rory sighed. "I know. I'm really going to miss the coffee."

"He'll want to be referred to as pops or something super manly. He is going to pray that you have a boy so that he has someone else to help him through our crazy. Lord help him if it is another Gilmore girl."

Rory laughed. "He will be a great pops. I won't have to spoil my own kid. He is going to take care of it all for me. I don't know what I would do if I had a boy. I don't know the first thing about boys. Heck, I don't know the first thing about children in general. Just the little bit from watching Paris' kids and babysitting Steve and Kwan."

"Leave the spoiling to me and pops. Here is the loaded question. Have you told Huntzberger that the two of you are procreating?"

"How can I?" He is engaged to be married to some heiress that his family actually approves of and he is living on the other side of the ocean."

"I know it is hard, but don't you think he should know that he going to have a child out there somewhere. I may not always side with him, but I think he would be there for his kid. Plus, I know that you care for him more than you want to let on. You said you cut each other off, but I have seen you reach for your phone to text him at least 10 times in the last two days. Yes he may be engaged, but he isn't married yet."

Rory hugged Lorelai again. "Thanks, mom. Is this appropriate call material?"

"That is your decision, kid."

"Enough about me. Lets go get you married again. Then I have to tell Luke. Then I have to decide how I am going to tell Logan. I didn't realize there were so many decisions to make when having a kid."

"You got this. You are a Gilmore. You are naturally able to handle more than you ever thought that you could. You are going to be a great mom. I can't wait to see you go through everything that you put me through. The perfect payback."

Rory shook her head. Only her mother. The two of them stood up and went off to get Lorelai married for the second time in the last 24 hours.


Rory was sitting at the reception. She watched Paris and Doyle's kids dance around along with the other two kids. It hit her that in a couple of years her child would be out there with the rest of them. It was a concept that she was beginning to see in great detail now.

Rory looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Luke asked, "Are you okay, kid? You look like you are a million miles away."

She replied, "I'm sorry. There is so much on my mind. This is a terrible time to tell you this, but I can't expect my mother to keep a secret. We both know that she sucks at it."

"Ha. True. What's up?"

"Luke, you are more of a dad to me than my own more times than not. I used to try so hard to impress you just because you were always interested in what I was doing. I could tell that you cared about me and not just because you love my mom. Thank you for that. I was always just a pawn for my dad to use in hopes of getting the attention of my mom."

"Rory, I am so proud of you. I know the last few years have not been easy, but you have pushed through it all. You are a great kid. I am glad I have been able to be in your life."

"I hope you think all of that when I tell you what I need to tell you?"

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm pregnant."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant. About six to seven weeks."

"Who is the father?"

Rory looked down. "Logan."

"I'm going to kill him."

"Luke…"

"You finally cut yourself loose from the no good kid and he still manages to have the power to mess with you."

"I don't want you to not like the kid just because Logan is the father."

"If the kid is yours, I'm still going to like it. Your mom and I will be here for whatever you need. No matter what you are not alone in this."

"Thanks, Luke."

"Have you told Logan yet?"

"No. I don't know how to tell him. He lives on a different continent. How is this going to work?"

"Coming from experience I know how awful it is to find out that you have a kid and you didn't know about it. Finding out that you missed out on the big things and the small things. I may not like the guy, but I would never wish that feeling on anyone."

"You are right. I may not have had a great experience with my own father, but I can't make that decision for Logan and the baby. Logan has to decide if he wants to be part of the baby's life."

"When are you going to tell him?"

"I don't know. I can't really break this kind of news over the phone or by text."

"I would have to agree with that. In person conversations are always better for the big things."

"I think I am going to get on a plane before I lose the nerve. They have a five hour time difference from us. The ride is seven hours. If I get the 10 o'clock plane then I should be there at about 10 o'clock in the morning his time."

"Do you need me to give you a ride to the airport?"

"You just got married. You are not taking me to the airport. I'm not ready for the whole town to know that something is going on. If you leave you know that they are all going to be talking, more than they already are. Ms. Patty has been eyeing me all night since I haven't been drinking any of the punch."

"Okay. Don't even think about asking Kirk. I care too much about you and that baby to risk you getting in the car with him. We all know he is pretty unstable."

Rory laughed. "Thanks, Luke. You are the best."

"Anything for you, kid. So, would it be okay if…"

"What?"

"Can the kid call me grandpa?"

Rory smiled. "I thought pops had a better ring to it."

Luke chuckled. "It does, doesn't it? I would be honored for the kid to refer to me as anything."

"Go to mom. I promise I will not be getting a ride from Kirk."

"Okay. Call me as soon as you get there. I don't care what time it is. Don't worry about your mom. I'll get her up to speed."

"Thanks, Luke." Rory hugged him. She was so happy that he and her mother were finally married. It had been a long road to get to where they were, but the two of them had never looked happier than when they were together.
