Chapter 1

One night 23 year old Lorelai is watching tv with 25 year old Luke on the couch and is falling asleep on top of him with her head on his chest when the phone rings.

Luke turns the volume down while Lorelai answers the phone.

"hello?" she answers softly

"Hi may I please speak with a Gilmore?" the Doctor wonders

"this is she." Lorelai tells him

"Hello this is Dr. Ballard from Hartford Memorial are you the mother of a Miss Rory Hayden?" the Doctor asks her

"yes I am what's the problem...is she okay?" Lorelai asks

"well I'm sorry to inform you Mam that she and her father have gotten in a bad car accident tonight and that they are both in critical condition

Lorelai gasps.

"what?" Luke questions

Lorelai just hangs onto his flannel shirt.

"I'll be right there!" Lorelai tells him

"okay just ask for me when get here." he tells her

"I will thank you Doctor." she hangs up

"what?" Luke wonders

"lets go!" Lorelai tells him

"what? Where?' he wonders

"Harford Chris and Rory got into a bad car accident tonight are are both in critical condition." she tells him

Luke gets up fast grabbing his keys throwing his jacket and hat on and they leave the house together and hit the road for Hartford.
