"Gilmore Girls" Costumer Says the Father of Rory's Baby Was "Supposed to Be . . . Obvious"

Yet another option that some fans put forward is that Rory did agree to be a surrogate, but she did it for Michel and his husband. Michel is considering having a baby throughout the course of "A Year in the Life," and he seems to be (maybe) gradually softening up to the idea. Though this was always a more likely option than Rory agreeing to have Lorelai's baby, it wouldn't make much sense story-wise.
