A/N: This is my first Gilmore Girls story so please be nice.
Chapter One- What Happens Now?
"Grandpa's in the hospital come quick? Who leaves a message like that?!" Lorelai exclaimed throwing her hands up. Luke just shrugged.
Rory Gilmore sat in the worn chair by her grandpa's side reading to him. She paused and her bright blue eyes looked up.
"Grandpa, are you…going to be ok?"
"I don't know Rory. But there's something I do know," Richard said softly.
"What?"
"That you, Emily, and Lorelei are the most important things in my life, and I would never be the grandpa and the man I am today without all three of you. I love you Rory and I'm so proud of who you are and what you have to become. I couldn't ask for anything more," Richard said hoarsely. He began to cough violently.
"Grandpa!" Rory cried. The monitor by the bedside began beeping furiously. Nurses and doctors rushed in the room. Rory walked into the hall and slid against the wall crying. Lorelai rushed up with Luke trailing behind her.
"Rory!" she called down the hall. Her daughters blue eyes bore into hers sadly. Lorelai crouched down and swept Rory into her arms.
"Grandpa's not going to make it," Rory cried into her arms.
"Oh babe…we'll get through this, listen to me, we'll get through this," Lorelai said, her voice shaking. Luke watched the pair as they continued to hug. Emily was frozen in a chair. And the doctors were yelling orders. Everything around him went by in a blur. Lorelai looked up and walked over to Luke. He awkwardly put an arm around her as she finally let the tears fall from her eyes.
"We should… get Rory home, she's in shock and I don't think we should stay here. Mom won't even talk and I can't do this right now." Lorelai cried harder.
"Lorelai it's…going to be ok, well it will be." Luke said gently.
"Thanks, I'm going to find some coffee or something." Lorelai said quietly as she wiped her eyes and wondered down the hallway. Luke walked up to Rory who was leaning against the wall.
"Hey Ror, um your mom's uh getting some coffee for you both." Rory nodded silently. Moments later Lorelai came back with two cups of coffee. Rory took hers silently.
"Just drop me off at Lane's mom." Rory said quietly.
"Um ok…I can do that…" Lorelai replied. Moments later they were out the door and making their way to Lane's house.
A small ding signaled the door being opened. Luke looked up from the counter he was wiping down.
"Uh hey…" he said. Lorelai walked up to the counter and plopped down on one of the chairs.
"Luke I…wasn't enough…I was such a disappointment to them…" Lorelai said as tears began to form again in her blue eyes.
"For who, Emily and Richard?" Luke asked. Lorelai nodded.
"You're being too hard on yourself and…you were never a disappointment to me." Luke said.
"I was to them though."
"Never to me." Luke said a little more angrily then he had meant. He grabbed the pot of coffee off the burner and poured the brown liquid into the light blue mug. Their eyes met for a brief second before Luke leaned in and gently kissed her. They pulled away slowly after a few moments.
"Luke…I..." Lorelai stumbled.
"Don't." he warned.
"We kissed…I…liked it." Lorelai said grinning.
"I've…uh been waiting for the right moment to do that."
"How long?" Lorelai asked.
"Awhile."
"How long."
"Lorelai!"
"Ok fine."
"Thank you."
