Lorelai rode in the ambulance with her unconscious daughter in silence. She couldn't take her eyes off of her daughter and how pale and lifeless she looked lying on the stretcher. She was still trying to come to terms with the fact that her daughter had been held hostage in her classroom by her ex boyfriend. She couldn't believe that Dean had done something like that. She couldn't believe that he was so different than the boy she had thought he was.

As soon as they got to the hospital she followed the EMT's into the Emergency Room behind her daughter but she let the Nurse lead her to the waiting room. As she stood out in the waiting room it took everything she had not to break down. She knew that she had to be strong for her daughter. She knew that she had to be strong for the boy that Luke and Jesse were bringing with them because of what he had done for her daughter.

She still couldn't believe that Tristan had save Rory's life. She knew that it was the truth but she was just having a hard time with it especially because of the things that Rory had told her about Bible Boy. But then again she knew better than anyone that people can change. She was just glad that Tristan had been there to save her daughter. She was just glad that Tristan had cared enough to save her daughter.

As she thought about Tristan she thought about the look she had seen in his eyes. She knew that Tristan was in love with Rory and if she had to hazard a guess she would guess that Rory was in love with Tristan also because anytime Rory had mentioned Tristan her eyes would light up. She vowed that if Rory made it through this that she would do anything and everything in her power to help the two teens realize their feelings for one another.

She looked up when she heard footsteps rushing towards her. She saw Tristan walking at a fast pace towards her with Luke and Jesse behind him a ways. Without even stopping to think about what she was doing she took a step towards Tristan and pulled him into her arms for a hug. She wanted to make sure that he knew just how grateful she was for him saving her daughter's life. She wanted to make sure that he knew that no matter what she was there for her just like he was there for Rory. She silently vowed as she hugged him that she would make sure that he knew that if he ever needed anything or just someone to talk to that he could come to her. As far as she was concerned he was now family and with him being family that meant she would be there for him no matter what.
