"Would you please sit down?" Logan pleaded with Rory who'd been pacing around the living room for half an hour
"Why isn't he kicking?"
"Doctor said it's normal for a first pregnancy to not feel the baby move until 20 weeks or even a little later" Logan reminded her
"I am 20 weeks. I wanna feel him kick. How else am I supposed to know that he's really in there?"
Logan stood up and grabbed Rory's hands
"I wanna feel him" Rory said
"I know" Logan said and kissed her gently
"I know what you're doing"
"I know" Logan said and kissed her neck
"You're trying to distract me, and it's not fair, because I'm hormonal, and you know it's gonna work"
"That's the point"

A few days later Rory was sitting in the living room with Honor and Stephanie
"You know what's crazy?" Rory said, seemingly out of nowhere
"What?" Steph asked
"This" Rory gestured to her belly "pregnancy. The whole idea is nuts"
"Yup" Honor nodded
"You're only realizing this now?" Steph chuckled
"I'm being serious" Rory said "think about it. You have sex, get pregnant, 9 months later you have to do something that I'm imagining is really gonna suck, and then you just have a baby, and it's your job to keep it alive"
"Yeah...?" Honor said, confused about what Rory's point was
"And anyone can do this, whether they know what to do with the kid or not. Look at me, I don't know what to do with a newborn. I wouldn't even hold either of your babies until they were like 6 months old. I've never changed a diaper. I don't know how to feed it, or how to get it dressed, or how to put it to sleep. Also-"
"Stop" Stephanie interrupted Rory, realizing that she was freaking out for whatever reason and likely wasn't gonna stop any time soon "first of all, you probably shouldn't call your baby 'it'. Secondly, why are you freaking out all of a sudden?"
"Because I just realized that in 20 weeks, I'm gonna have a baby, and I don't know how to take care of it"
"First of all, you have natural instincts for this stuff" Honor said "you won't feel like you do, but once the baby's born you'll realize that you do, in fact, know what you're doing. Plus, they'll teach you how to feed the baby in the hospital"
"Yeah, and it's gonna be really awkward, and your gonna feel really exposed" Steph chimed in
"Don't tell her that!" Honor snacked Stephanie
"You're gonna tell me that when you were sitting there, with a bunch nurses touching your boobs, you didn't feel exposed?" Steph raised an eyebrow
"Not the point" Honor said
"Not to mention that there'll be other people in the room, too" Steph added
"Like who?" Rory asked
"For starters, Logan" Steph said
"What about me?" Logan asked as he walked through the living room, having heard the last sentence
"I'm not worried about Logan" Rory said
"What about Logan?" Logan asked again
"That you're gonna see Rory's boobs" Steph said
"Um...what?"
