A/N: This takes place just after the end of season 6.

A mother and a father sat on the street holding their little girl. Holding her broken bloody body. Clinging to her with every fiber of their being. They held her in their arms. They sat there crying waiting for the ambulance. She'd been in an accident, and the ambulance was taking forever. He took her out of her car. He knew he wasn't supposed to, but he knew that if these were to be her last moments he'd want to hold her in his arms. He watched her mother cry. And she saw him cry for the first time in her life. They loved each other, through thick and thin. But they had their problems. OH, but how they loved that girl. Either of them would sacrifice their own life in exchange for hers. All he could see was blood, and tears. There was blood everywhere, and the blood had tears in it. How could this have happened? Finally the ambulance arrived and took her to the hospital. For hours they worked on her. No one would let her family see her. Finally at nearly midnight they were allowed to see her. She wasn't bloody any more. But there were bandages, tubes, and machines every where. He cringed with each beep fearing there might not be another. She was so lifeless, so helpless, so small. Her mother stood next to her and held her hand, but soon the tears came in a flood, and she couldn't bare to look at her little girl anymore. Her little girl, was grown, but she would always be her baby. She turned and buried her face in his shirt. He embraced her and stroked her head. Why couldn't it have been him? He asked himself. He just kept praying. Hoping he wouldn't have to say goodbye. They clung to one another with enough sorrow to fill the whole world over twice. He whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry," He didn't have to say anything more things between them would work out. He held her tighter. She got closer to his body. If they had been any closer they would have been one."Baby please hold on. Be strong. I'll die without you," Lorelai says truthfully with tears in her eyes. Luke embraces her tightly. Luke and Lorelai had been having problems, but nothing seemed to matter when they were with her. She needed them, and they'd die without her. Neither of them could imagine what it would be like not having her there anymore. Nothing was ever more important than her. Luke knew about Lorelai's indiscretions, but he didn't really care. It was his fault. He had been a fool. All they wanted was for her to be ok. Nothing else mattered. It didn't matter what the cost was. They'd sell their souls if they could just have her back.

Luke breaks the silence. "You need to call your parents... and Christopher,"

"Screw Christopher. He's never been there when it's mattered so why would that change now?"

"Ok,"

"Can you call my parents?"

"Why?"

"I don't want to talk to them, and I need to call Logan,"

"Why would you call him?"

"I think they love each other," she hated to admit it, but it was true.

Luke called the Gilmore's while Lorelai tries to get a hold of Logan.

She stands in the waiting room on her phone. Clearly distressed as she hopes that the never ending ring will turn into an answer.

"Hello?" Logan answers.

"Logan?"

"Yes who is this?"

"It's Lorelai,"

"Lorelai?"

"Look I need you to get on a plane right now,"

"Why?"

"You need to come home. To Rory,"

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"There was an accident, please hurry,"

"I'll be there as soon as I can,"

"Ok,"

"Lorelai, tell her I love her and I'll be there soon,"

"Ok bye,"

"Bye,"

When Lorelai gets off the phone she goes back into the room. Luke is sitting by Rory's side.

"Well?" he asks.

"He's on his way,"

"The Gilmore's will be here in a few minutes,"

Lorelai acknowledges this with a nod as she takes Rory's hand.

"Rory I hope you can hear me. Logan told me to tell you that he loves you and he'll be here soon,"

"Lorelai do you think he really loves her?"

"I don't know. I hope so. If he doesn't I'll kill him,"

A few minutes later Emily and Richard arrive. Richard walks in and silently sits down next to Luke. Lorelai gets up, and is surprised when Emily takes her in her arms to console her. She doesn't let go right away either, which surprises Lorelai. Lorelai gently allows her head to rest on her mother's shoulder. Emily sits down on a couch, and motions for Lorelai to sit down next to her. Lorelai complies.

"Lorelai get some rest, it's ok," Emily begs her.

Lorelai lays her head on Emily's lap. She brushes the hair out of Lorelai's face as she falls asleep. Lorelai falls asleep finally. But wakes up by the time the sun does. When she wakes up she's alone on the couch. Emily is in front of the window staring out. Lorelai looks around and sees Richard, and Luke asleep where they're sitting. She looks over at Rory, and she looks the same. But Logan is sitting next to her holding her hand. He's wide awake as he caresses her hand. There's dead silence in the room, except for the beeping monitors. Reminding them all that her life was hanging in the balance. A phone rings and adds to the collections of beeps. Logan takes the call in the hall.

"Hello?"

"Logan where are you?" his father asks him.

"I'm in Hartford,"

"You're supposed to be in London,"

"Rory's in the hospital,"

"I don't care get back to London,"

"You say that you want me to be a man, but what you really want me to be is a cold, self centered, ass. So basically you just want me to be you,"

"Logan don't take that tone with me. I've given you everything. Get back to London to your job, or lose it,"

"You can take you and your job and shove it. I'm not going to argue about this with you I'm in the hospital. I don't know whether or not she's going to make. You're the one who needs to be a man," Logan hangs up on Mitchum. He thinks to himself that he's made his father angry. But in reality he's made him respect him. All Mitchum had ever wanted was for Logan to be a respectable young man, unlike himself. Logan goes back in as nothing has happened. He goes back and sits down next to Rory. Lorelai gets up and joins her mother. It's clear that no one is going to get much sleep. Lorelai and Emily go back to sleep for a couple hours when the doctor comes in.
