Hello! It's me again, with another Gilmore Girls fanfic. Torn has been put on hold for the moment, so I can work on this fic. Please enjoy this!
Disclaimer: I own nothing ut the plot. Try and steal the plot and I will sic my army of Twinkies on you.
Lorelai paced the floor. Hospital floors were not the best place for pacing; they were usually slick and shiny, and when you stare at the print they swirl your brain. But she wasn't allowed in the room, and she had read all the magazines in the waiting area, and eaten three candy bars and had two coffees. Now pacing was the only refuge she had left.
She heard the emergency room doors squeak open. It was Luke, with a cup of coffee in one hand and the keys to his truck in the other. He looked wildly around, and saw her pacing. He gently handed the cup to Lorelai. "I just got the message from Dean. What happened?"
Lorelai's eyes filled with tears. "She…she was out on the road, this little kitten was out there and she wanted it to be safe, and a car came over that blind curve and…" She felt tears bursting out of her eyes. "It hit her."
Luke turned white, and collapsed in a hard plastic hospital chair. "Lorelai, I'm…I'm so sorry. They won't let you in to see her?"
Lorelai shook her head. "She's drifting in and out of consciousness, and they want to be able to get in there fast without interference if something goes wrong." Luke got up and gave her a rough hug, much unlike him. "Will she be okay, do they know?"
Lorelai wiped a few tears from her eyes. "They can't be sure." Luke sank down into the chair again.
Rory could barely determine the fuzzy shapes in the room as doctors. One of them was taking notes. "What happened?" She tried to ask, but no sound came out. She realized that there was a rubber tube down her throat. "Hello?" She managed to rasp out. The doctors all ran over right next to her. "Rory? Can you hear me?" One asked. Rory nodded slowly. Her eyelids were heavy; she could barely keep her eyes open.
":Rory, you were hit by a car. Do you remember that?" Rory slowly, painfully nodded. "All right, that's good." The note doctors made a mark on the chart.
"Where's my mom?" Roy asked, her throat burning with the effort.
"Outside. Do you want to see her?" Rory nodded forcefully. "Alright, I'll go get her."
A doctor came out of the room, a clipboard under his arm. Luke and Lorelai jumped up, and Lorelai's parents ran over from where they were filling out forms for an exhausted Lorelai.
"Your daughter is conscious, Ms. Gilmore. She remembered the accident, so we can assume there is little brain damage, if any. However, she's still not stable. She's asking for you, but she's going unconscious very quickly, so please be fast."
Lorelai sprang into the room and grabbed Rory's hand. "Oh, Rory, why did you have to like that stupid cat so much?"
Rory managed a small grin. "It was so cute and furry, I couldn't resist."
Lorelai smiled weakly. It was still the same old Rory. "Babe, how're you feeling?"
"I really can't feel anything. Not from the waist down. They said they don't know what's going on there, but it doesn't matter."
Lorelai masked her worry. "Okay. Well, the doctors say you need your rest, so I have to go now."
Rory nodded. "Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"Love you."
Lorelai smiled. "Love you too." Rory smiled weakly back, and let her eyes close. Sweet unconsciousness drifted over her, and she smiled. It was time to sleep.
The doctors followed Lorelai out. "Ms. Gilmore, Rory is not doing well at all. We fear she may slip in to a coma."
A red light suddenly blinked, and an alarm blared. The doctors ran into Rory's room, leaving Lorelai nervously biting her lip and crying silently.
A doctor came out soon after. "Ms. Gilmore, I'm afraid that your daughter has, as we feared, slipped in a coma. This may last anywhere from a few hours to many years. I'm very sorry, ma'm." He turned back to the room. Lorelai covered her mouth and fainted dead away, Luke barely catching her.
So, I know it stinks, and is kind of rushed. But please review and tell me what you want in the next chapter? This will Jess/Rory fic later on. Tell me your ideas, though, I'm eager for siggestions!
