"Do I look fat?" Rory asked as she stood in front of the mirror, getting ready for work. She was at 18 weeks and at the point in her pregnancy where you could tell that she was pregnant, and she was just a little bigger than she'd been at that point with Millie, so she was feeling a little self conscious.
"No" Logan said. He didn't even have to look at her. Rory was in no way fat, even if she was pregnant. Besides, he knew better than to answer that question any other way.
"You didn't even look"
"I don't need to look" He said "you're not fat, and it's crazy that you think that"
"I look pregnant"
"You are pregnant, but pregnant and fat are not the same thing"
Rory turned back to face the mirror. Logan walked over to her and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. He put his hand on her stomach. "You look amazing" he kissed her cheek.
"Thank you"
Logan finished getting dressed first, so he went to get Millie up. He sat on the edge of her bed and gently stroked her cheek with the back of his finger until she opened her eyes. "Good morning, princess"
Millie turned to face away from him and pulled the blanket over her head. "Good night"
Logan smiled to himself. Just like her mama. "Come on" He rubbed her back "you have to get ready for school. We can't be late today because mommy and I are going to the doctor"
That got Millie's attention. She was very excited about the baby, and hearing anything about it got her excited. "To get the baby out?" She asked eagerly. She didn't really understand when or how the baby got out, but she knew that the doctor took the baby out, and that it would take a while.
"Not yet, but we're gonna find out if it's a boy or a girl"
"Make it a girl"
Logan laughed "we don't get to pick" he kissed her forehead
"Why not?"
"It just doesn't work like that"
"Oh"
"Come on, let's get you ready"
An hour and a half later, Rory and Logan were in the doctor's office, Rory was having an ultrasound.
"Alright, everything looks great here" Dr. Williams said "baby's healthy, moving around a lot, you'll probably start to feel that soon"
Rory nodded. Logan rubbed her shoulder. Of course they were happy to hear that the baby was healthy, but they were waiting for a specific piece of information. The sex. Neither of them really cared, but they did really want to know.
"Do you wanna know the sex?" The doctor asked
"Yes please" Rory said
"In just a few months you guys will have another beautiful baby girl"
Rory smiled and Logan kissed her forehead. "Millie's gonna be happy" he said "she asked me this morning if we can make the baby a girl"
"Yeah" Rory smiled
"I was right, by the way" Logan had been saying for weeks that it was gonna be a girl.

"No!" Rory said, annoyed after Melissa asked the sex of the baby for the fifth time in less than an hour. "Millie knows first"
"You're no fun" Melissa pouted
"Are you forgetting about the fact that when you were pregnant, you didn't tell me the sex until the baby was actually born?" Rory said. That's not why she wasn't telling her, but it was fun to bring it up.
"That's why you're not telling me? I didn't tell you because I didn't tell anyone"
"That's not why I'm not telling you. I'll tell you, I just have to tell Millie first"
"Is it a boy?"
"I'm not telling you"
"Is it a girl?"
"Melissa" Rory laughed and rolled her eyes
"Give me a hint"
"How could I give you a hint? There are only 2 options"
"Oh yeah...so you might as well just tell me"
"Walking away now"
When Rory went to pick up Millie, she was greeted with a giant hug, like always.
"Mama, is it a boy baby or a girl baby?" Millie asked once they got to the car and started driving.
"It's a girl baby" Rory said.
"I'm getting a baby sister!"
Rory glanced at Millie through the rear view mirror. When she found out that she was pregnant again, she was really nervous about how Millie would react. She was really relieved that Millie was as excited as the was.
That evening, Logan was making dinner, Millie was coloring at the kitchen table, and Rory was at the kitchen table doing some work on her laptop.
Rory's phone rang.
"The phone's ringing" Millie said
"I know" Rory said. She checked the caller Id, it was Lorelai, so she answered and put it on speaker.
"Hi mom" Rory said "You're on speaker so watch your mouth"
"Who's there?" Lorelai asked
"Me!" Millie said
"Hi Millie" Lorelai said with a chuckle
"We're all here!" Logan called out from where he was standing at the counter, a few feet away.
"What's up, mom?" Rory asked
"Just wondering how your doctor's appointment went" Lorelai said "I wanted to see how that baby's doing"
Rory smiled at Logan. Lorelai didn't know that they were finding out the sex.
"Baby girl is doing great" Rory said
Lorelai didn't say anything.
"Mom?" Rory asked. Lorelai still didn't speak "I think I broke my mother"
Logan walked over to the table "Lorelai?"
"A girl?" Lorelai asked. She sounded surprised.
"A baby sister!" Millie said, excitedly
Lorelai laughed. "Logan, you are gonna be so outnumbered"
"I wouldn't have it any other way"
That night, after putting Millie to sleep, Logan and Rory were cuddled up on the couch, watching a movie.
"Do you wanna get married?" Logan asked
Rory was a little caught off guard. They discussed it when they found out about Millie, and decided that while they might in the future, that was not the time. Once Millie was born, it didn't really seem so important for them to get married, so they didn't. "Is this because of what-"
"It's not because of my parents" he answered her question before she even finished asking "and it not because of your grandparents. It because of you. I love you and we already know that we're gonna be together forever, so why not make it official"
"I think two kids makes it pretty official" she said jokingly
"Rory...we don't have to get married if you don't want to, but I'm just want you know how badly I want to be able to call you my wife, and myself your husband"
Rory was quiet for what felt like forever.
"Ace, what are you thinking?"
"Ask me again" she said quietly
"What?" Logan asked. Did that mean that she was going to say yes?
"Ask me"
A huge smile crept onto Logan's face "Rory Gilmore, will you marry me?"
