I would take the old concrete from the cut to the driveway out and pour it as a single piece. you don't have to do anything. the gas line can be left under dirt.

This.

Just clean the slot out to the depth of the existing, place a form board at the end, and then pour fresh concrete. Looks like 2 bags at most. Easy weekend project that'll get you out of diaper changing for a few.

Good luck and have fun!

Where the gas line is coming up out of the little trench, put a piece of foam insulation, or wrap it with foam packing material so the concrete isn't directly touching the pipe. The pipe and the concrete will expand and contract differently through the seasons so you want a small gap to separate them.
