Chapter Three: Pregnancy's Bitch

Lorelai lay on the bed she shared with her husband, alone, in the middle of the day, trying to ward off the headache that had been bothering her since she woke up that morning. She did everything she could think of, just short of taking drugs that might harm the baby currently growing in her tummy.

She looked down at her five month old zygote belly and scowled. "Why can't you be easy, like you're sister was? I never had headaches like this when Rory was in my tummy."

"That's because I was a good baby. What you have there is the spawn of Satan." A voice said from the doorway.

Lorelai looked up, surprised to see her eldest child, Rory, standing there, leaning against the doorway, with a smile on her face.

Lorelai smile and without missing a beat replied, "Hey, don't diss my man. He may be the ruler of Hell, but he's hot." She winked at her daughter, who chuckled and came to lay down next to her mother.

"You won't be saying that when you're in that delivery room and he's looking very evil for getting you there."

"Yeah, but that will be over soon enough, right?" Lorelai said, putting her arm around her daughter and pulling her in for a hug, while still lying down. "I mean, look at you. Twenty-seven years only feels like a day to me."

Rory nodded in agreement. "Me too. So, have you found out if I'm gonna have a baby brother or sister?"

Lorelai smiled evilly. "Well... Luke and I did ask the doctor and what it turns out is that you're gonna have a..."

"A what?" Rory asked in anticipation.

"Hmm, well I don't know if I really want you to know yet. I think it'd be nice if it were a surprise." Lorelai said, nonchalantly.

"Mo-om!" Rory whined. "I wanna know!"

Lorelai laughed. "That's my twenty-seven year old college graduate! How mature!"

Rory punched her gently in the arm.

"Ow!" Lorelai said, dramatically grabbing her arm. "Hey! Take it easy! I'm with child." She rubbed her growing stomach.

"Yes, yes you are and you're eldest child would like to know the gender of her younger sibling or there will be more pain inflicted upon you."

"More pain? I'm already pregnancy's bitch and you want to inflict more pain on me?"

"Pregnancy's bitch? I thought you were Luke's bitch." Rory joked.

"No, Sweets, you see Luke's my bitch." Lorelai explained calmly.

This last comment sent Rory and Lorelai into a fit of giggles, which only intensified when Luke came in and asked them what was going on.

Sorry it's so short but that's all I could get done because it's 9 o' clock on a school night and I skipped my nap today so I'm exhausted! Anyways, please REVIEW!
