"What?!" Lorelai cried. "My daughter was injured, while you were there, and you're not even staying with her in the hospital?"
"Lorelai, I-" Logan started, but Lorelai cut him off.
"No, I don't care why you're not there. It doesn't matter. What matters is that my daughter is was hurt, and now she's alone in the hospital! What hospital? If you tell me I may reconsider my decision to castrate you." Lorelai stopped, out of breath.
"She's at Hartford General. In the ICU" Logan hung up before Lorelai could yell at him anymore. Lorelai didn't even bother to hang up the phone, she just left it on the couch and grabbed her keys. When the Jeep wouldn't start, she swore and jumped out, running to Luke's.
"Keys!" She demanded tersely as soon as she got into the diner.
"What? Why? What's wrong?" Luke could see from her tear-streaked face that something was very wrong, and it probably had something to do with Rory.
"Rory's in the hospital, alone, and the Jeep won't start and I have no way to get to Hartford to see her, so I need to borrow your truck so that I can go and see her so that she's not alone because her stupid boyfriend Logan couldn't even stay with her."
"OK! Everyone out!" Luke yelled. "Food's on the house!" He gave the keys to Babette, telling her to lock up when everyone was gone, and headed out the door.
"Where are you going?" Lorelai cried.
"I'm driving you to Hartford. You remember what happened the last time you tried to drive my truck."
Lorelai just nodded, and was silent.
When they got to the hospital Luke parked while Lorelai ran in and found out what floor Rory was on. Luke barely made the same elevator up to the ICU floor. When they got to the ICU nurses desk, Luke grabbed Lorelai's hand, and asked the nurse what room Rory was in.
"Are you family?" The nurse asked.
"Yes." Lorelai said. "We're her parents." She didn't notice Luke's hand tightening on hers when she had said that.
"Just down the hall there." The nurse pointed. When they were just outside the door, they heard a male voice inside.
"Come on, love, wake up. I know you can do it, you're going to be ok. You have to be ok." Finn then said the three words he never could have said while Rory was awake, but he knew to be true. "I love you." His voice broke. He dropped his head onto the bed next to where her hand gripped his. Lorelai opened the door, trailing Luke behind her. Finn stood up instantly, not dropping Rory's hand.
"Rory!" Lorelai gasped. she ran to Rory's side, the opposite one from where Finn was. She grabbed Rory's hand, and stroked her forehead. "oh honey…" Lorelai didn't notice that Luke was introducing himself to Finn. If she had, she would also have noticed that Luke was making a huge effort to be calm- much calmer than he had been when he met Logan.
"Luke Danes." Luke stuck his hand out to the younger man.
"Finn Rothschild, Mr. Danes. I'm one of Rory's friends."
"Do you know Logan?" Lorelai had pulled herself away from Rory enough to grill Finn.
Finn nodded.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know, he just left."
"What happened?" Luke put in.
"I'm not sure. I wasn't there. Logan just called me to come over in a panic, and he left as soon as I got here."
"He didn't mention that you were here when he called me." Lorelai said absently as she watched Rory.
"He probably didn't even remember." Finn stated frankly.
"And you really love her?" Lorelai was all focused now.
Finn flinched. "Yes ma'am." He whispered.
"All right then, you can stay. Just don't call me ma'am."
A/N: Alright, so there is chapter one! review and let me know what you think. The next chapter should deal with what happened, and maybe some of Logan, I'm not quite sure yet.
The little blue button calls to you!"
