Title : When the bough breaks, The cradle will fall.

Chpt 1


As lorelai walks home. She's crying. Here only true love didn't love her anymore. He didn't want to get married. She couldn't believe it. The one person that she truly loved didn't want her. She couldn't believe that a 12 year old could ruin her life. She didn't hate April, it wasn't her fault. It was Anna's, it was also Lukes fault. In a way, it was her fault as well. But she felt like she was losing him, and she wanted to do something about it. The problem was, she did, and she still lost.

She made it home, not knowing how she got there, considering she wasn't paying attention. Her mind was full of Luke. She walked up the stairs of the porch, she stopped. Looked at the door, she didn't really want to go in. she didn't want to be in the house by herself. The house that Luke had pretty much rebuilt. She got her keys out, and drove. She didn't know where she wanted to go or where she was going. She finally stopped and realized where she was. She was at the same place she was just 2 hours ago. Her parents place. She got out, and rang the bell.

Emily answered the door. Emily was about to chide Lorelai for coming at this hour, but decided otherwise after she saw that she wad been crying. Lorelai looked like a bus had hit her. Emily ushered Lorelai in and did something that was completely unlike her. She gave Lorelai a hug. They had gotten a little closer after Lorelai spent the day driving her mother around when she had her eye surgery. After awhile, Richard walked in and saw Emily hugging Lorelai. He didn't know what was going, but all of a sudden, he jerked forward to catch Lorelai. One minute, she was in the arms of Emily, next second, she had fainted. Not knowing why, Richard carried the lifeless Lorelai up the stairs into her old room. Placed her on the bed and sat down beside her. Emily sat on the other side. Richard finally asked the question he's been wanting to ask.

"What happened"?

"Don't know. But I have a feeling it has to do with Luke. They've had a few problems of late, and she confided in me the other day. She's been worried that they won't get married. It had something to do with Luke's daughter, April" Emily replied.

"Did she say anything when she came in just now"? Richard said, with a concerned looked on his face. He had never seen Lorelai this vulnerable, this weak before. Even on her bad days, she sucked it up and seemed strong.

"No"! Emily said.

"I think that we should just let her sleep and check on her in the morning" Emily finally said after a few minutes of her and Richard just staring at Lorelai.

At about 5.30am, Lorelai awoke. She was feeling nausea and had a massive headache. She opened her eyes and took her a couple of minutes to work out where she was. She was in her old room. She thought on how she got there and remembering she started to get tears. She wasn't crying, just the tears of remembering what Luke had said. 'NO'. That was enough to send more tears. She decided to get up and go to the kitchen to get some painkillers and some water. As she was walking down the stairs, eyes blurry from the tears, she misjudged the stairs and fell. She landed hard at the bottom. She immediately groaned, then saw black.

The maid woke from a light noise. Her room had been under the stairs and was use to being a light sleeper. She was always scared of Emily, even though she hadn't been working there that long. She walked out and saw someone lying at the bottom of the stairs. She ran over to the lifeless figure and tried to nudge her. She checked her pulse and realized that she was still alive. She immediately ran up to her boss' room and knocked.

Emily and Richard awoke with a start. They heard the knocking and a voice. Someone saying something about an emergency. Richard got out of bed, put a rode on and went to the door. He noticed the maid there.

"This better be good. Mrs. Gilmore is certainly not happy about this" Richard said.

"It is. Your daughter is lying at the bottom of the stairs. I think she fell" the maid said, remembering her from last night.

"Emily, quick. Something's happened to Lorelai", Richard quickly said.

Emily put on her robe and all three ran down to where Lorelai was lying. Still unconscious. Richard rang 911 straight away. They waited for the ambulance to arrive. In the mean time, they tried to do everything for Lorelai. Checked for cuts or abrasions. Tried to coax her awake.

The ambulance arrived and took Lorelai straight to Hartford Memorial. Emily rode with Lorelai, while Richard took the car and made a few phone calls along the way. The first was to Rory.

Rory's dorm.

Ring ring. Ring ring. Ring ring.

Rory's moaning about the phone ringing. She had been up late studying for an exam at 9.30 she had that morning. It was now 6.45am.

Without looking at the number that was calling, she picked up.

"This better be good mom. You're the only one that would call at this hour" Rory complained, half asleep.

"Um……Rory…..this is your grandfather…….um……there's been an accident…."Richard said.

"What's happened……is it grandma…..is she okay" Rory replied, cutting Richard off.

"Rory……..it isn't your grandmother……um….don't know how to say this……but it's your mother…..'Richard said.

"MUM! What's happened?...is she okay?...why didn't Luke call and tell me"? Rory rambled off.

"Your mums on her way to Hartford memorial……Emily's with her in the ambulance…I think she fell down the stairs and was unconscious when I last saw her…..and Luke doesn't know. I think something happened and your mother stayed at our house last night" Richard replied.

"Okay, I'm on my way. I'll call Luke and find out whats happened" Rory quickly said as she was dressing to leave for the hospital.

Please R&R...if you want!!LoL
