Chapter 2

Diagnosis

Luke turned around, a shocked look gracing his face. "Lorelai, what are you doing here?"

"Rory was in a car accident Luke...I don't know what to do. They wouldn't tell me anything over the phone and I don't know if she'll be OK or not. Oh why did this have to happen Luke, there's only so much a mother can handle..." Luke had crossed the room by then and awkwardly held Lorelai into his shoulder. He never had been one for comforting people, but he hated tears so he tried his best to console the worried mother.

"Rory's going to be OK Lorelai, you know she wouldn't just leave you all alone to fend for herself." Tears pured down Lorelai's cheeks as she tried to convince herself of this. Rory had to be OK. She just had to be.

"You really think so?" Lorelai asked in a small voice.

"Yeah." Luke said trying his best to sound confident. In reality, the fact that Rory had been in the car accident too made things about a hundred times worse than when he thought it had just been-

"Luke?"

"What?"

"How did you find out."

"Find out what?" Luke asked confused.

"Find out about Rory's accident?" Luke swallowed. He'd been trying not to think about the reason he had been at the hospital to begin with.

"Um...well...Jess was in the...the other car. The car that Dean hit." Lorelai's eyes widened.

"Jess?"

"Yeah."

"Oh. I'm um, sorry Luke I didn't know. And here I am, crying all over you when you were trying to find out about Jess..."

"No, It's ok, I'm scared for Rory too. I'm scared for both of them. I've been here for ten minutes already and they won't tell me anything. They just keep saying to wait for the doctor."

"I had the same luck."

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Lorelai Gilmore?" A doctor said to the room. Lorelai was suddenly very nervous as she made her way to the scrubs clad man and gestured for Luke to come with her. He cared for Rory too, and she needed someone to support her if the news was really bad...if...no, Rory had to be ok, Lorelai did't know what she'd do without her.

"Is Rory going to be OK?" Lorelai asked the Doctor. She almost collapsed at the grim look plastered on the Doctor's face. "Please..." She said weekly.

"In the crash, the car your daughter occupied drove head on into the driver's side of the other car." Luke's face paled considerably at this but the Doctor carried on. "Your daughter flew halfway through the window, arms first, so the worst of her damage should be several stitches and a sprained or fractured wrist. We're getting the glass out before we do any MRIs. She also lost a lot of blood so we're giving her infusions."Lorelai nodded the room spinning in front of her eyes.

"Will she be here long?"

"Probably around a week if there are no complications. Maybe even less if she heals really well." The doctor put his hand on Lorelai's shoulder. "She should be fine Mrs. Gilmore." Lorelai half smiled but the tears were still pouring down her face.

"Thank you doctor." The doctor nodded and turned to the room.

"Can I please see a Mr. Lucas Danes?" He asked the room.

"Uh. That's me." Luke said tapping the man on the shoulder signaling that he was, in fact, with him already.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't realize-"

"It's fine." Luke said shortly. Lorelai could see that Luke was anxious to find out what was happening with his nephew so she tuned around to go back to her seat and wait but Luke stopped her by grabbing her hand. "No, Lorelai, stay...please." He pleaded. Lorelai turned to face the doctor but their hands did not part.

"Your the uncle of Jess Mariano?" The doctor asked.

"Yes."

"The nurse told me that you were very persistent trying to find out what condition your nephew." Luke nodded, not embarrassed in the least. "Well I can't disclose very much until the surgery is over which will be a while-"

"He's in surgery?" Luke asked, suddenly frantic. Lorelai squeezed his hand assuringly.

"As I said earlier, the car hit Jess's side head on so he's not doing too well. We're doing everything we can to get him stable but, unfortunately, until surgery is done, I can't tell you much more." Luke nodded, his face completely blank and white as a sheet. "Well, I should be getting back." The doctor said gesturing to the place he had come from. Both Lorelai and Luke nodded again in understanding and the Doctor made his way back down the hallway. Lorelai began to lead Luke back to their seats but the calling of her name stopped her once more.

"Lorelai?" She turned around only to find Dean, being wheeled down the hallway by his mom, almost his entire leg in a cast. A worried look was on his face as he started firing questions at her. "How's Rory. She's Ok isn't she. Is she hurt really bad? Did-"

"Dean! Calm down." Lorelai ordered softly. She gestured for Dean and Mrs. Forrester to come over but halted halfway through the gesture due to the snarl that had made it's way out of Luke. Lorelai looked over to find Luke glaring daggers at Dean, his stance fierce. She held tightly to his hand to keep him from attacking Dean and looked back at the, now very confused boy stopped in the middle of the hallway.

This was going to be a long night.

:O o:
