Lorelai woke up early. She was pretty sure she was in labor, but she didn't want to wake Luke until she was positive, so she sat in the rocking chair in the corner of their room and watched the clock, rubbing her stomach.
When Luke woke up, he looked at her, sleepy and confused. "What are you doing?"
"Timing contractions," she replied.
He jumped out of bed and started running around the room, grabbing clothes and pulling them on. "Why didn't you wake me? Did you call Rory? The doctor? We need to go!"
Lorelai watched him and laughed. "Honey, I'm fine. They're not far enough apart that we need to go to the hospital yet and I'm more comfortable here."
Luke ignored her and finished getting dressed before pulling out clothes for her. "Please get dressed. I do not want to deliver this baby."
She rolled her eyes, but stood up and took the clothes. Before she had a chance to put them on, she felt an odd sensation. "Uh oh."
"Uh oh?" Luke repeated? "What's wrong? Should I call an ambulance?"
"No, no," she assured him. "My water just broke. I think it's time to go."
While she got dressed, Luke called Rory, Sookie and, much to Lorelai's chagrin, her parents.
And then they headed to the hospital.
