"You do it" Rory said to Logan as they stood in their bathroom one Friday after dinner with the Gilmores and the kids were asleep.

"What?"

"I can't. You do it"

"But you already know what it says"

"I know what I feel, but I don't know for sure"

"Fine" Logan flipped over the pregnancy test that was face down on the bathroom counter. He looked at it then smiled and put his hands on either side of Rory's face and kissed her deeply.

"Does that mean it's positive?" Rory chuckled

"That means it's positive!" Logan smiled

Rory wrapped her arms around Logan's neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"But just for the record, this will be the last one" Rory said

"I know" Logan said and hugged her tighter

"There's no way" Logan said as he and Rory sat in the doctors office the next day, waiting for the doctor

"Give me a second. I'll figure it out" Rory insisted

"How could you possibly know how?"

"I'm smart. I went to Yale...and I can count"

"I also went to Yale" he reminded her

"Then you should also be able to figure it out" Rory said "now shhh"

They sat there in silence for a moment while Rory did mental math.

"7 weeks!" Rory exclaimed just as the doctor walked in

"Are you asking me or telling me?" The doctor asked, confused

"Neither, sorry. Just making a guess" Rory chuckled

"Well, let's see how close you are" the doctor said and started Rory's exam "this was a planned pregnancy, right?"

"Right" Rory nodded

"Ok..." The doctor started to do Rory's ultrasound "and it looks like you're about...would you look at that?" The doctor smiled "7 weeks"

"Ha!" Rory exclaimed

"That puts your due date at the beginning of September...The 9th"

"Ok" Logan said

"Alright, I'm just gonna read off some information here. Stop me if anything's wrong" the doctor said

"Ok" Rory nodded

"Lorelai Leigh Huntzberger. Born October 8 1984, 31 years old. Has 2 children aged 4 and 2. Is on sertralin and prazosin for ptsd. No known health conditions. All that right?"

"Yeah"

=================================

Later that night Rory and Logan were laying in bed. Logan had his arm around Rory and her head was resting on his chest.

"I don't wanna tell Lena" Rory said

"Like...never? I think she'll notice when we bring home another baby" Logan joked

"No, not never" Rory rolled her eyes "but not until we're ready to tell everyone because there's no way she's keeping it a secret for more than 15 seconds"

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea" Logan said

Rory took a deep breath

"You ok?" Logan asked
