-"I need Lorelai Gilmore's room."

-"Room..." The nurse drug out, looking it up on the charts, "212. Get one the elevator..." The nurse shutup seeing that she was talking to no one but herself.

Emily power walking to the elevator leaving Richard farther and farther behind. Not leaving the elevator doors open for Richard she found room 212. She walked straight to Lorelai, paying now attention to Luke.

-"Emily, why did you leave me?" Richard asked, walking into the room a short while later, slightly out of breath. "Emily?" He repeated. He slowly walked over to Emily who was softly crying.

-"Richard this is terrible! What have I done?!" She cried.


-"Remind me next time not to drag you down here to eat, ever again." Liz said, with her hand over her stomache.

"Don't worry, I wont." Rory said, rubbing hers.

They got on the elevator and went to the second floor.

-"Sookie?!" Rory shouted, getting off the elevator seeing her orange hair.

-"Rory honey!" Sookie yelled.

Rory ran up and clung on to Sookie.

-"Honey what happened?!" Sookie cried.

-"She was in an accident."

-"Is she alright?"

Rory shook her head and started to cry. Rory led Sookie into Lorelai's room, followed by Liz.

-"Rory," Richard said, not knowning what else to say.

-"Hey grandma, grandpa." Rory said, dryly.

There was a long silence. No one spoke. Not knowing what to say or ask everyone remained silent and just looked at the bodies, well in Emily case, body.

-"What happened?" Richard said, finally.

Rory told the story to everyone just how Luke had told it and of course at the end of it everyone was crying. To Rory's amazement, Luke was still dead asleep, not stirring a bit. Emily, wiping her tears went to the front desk to complain about the "rough sheets". Sookie went to call Jackson and Liz excused herself to the bathroom. Leaving Rory and Richard the only awake people in the room.

-"Rory..." Richard said, debating on what to say. "She's going to make it. Your mother's something else. This women can get through anything, without a doubt."

Rory just sat there, not saying a word. Richard needing to assure Rory she would be ok began to tell her about Lorelai's child hood. Everyone gathered back in the room sat and listened to Richard's stories.

-"Now Rory," Emily began, already saying her good-byes, "I will be back later today and I'm bringing supplies with me. Do you need anything?" She said, putting her hand on Rory's shoulder.

-"No...I think i'm good for now, thanks."

Emily shook her head and walked towards to elevator.

-"Wait up Emily!" Richard shouted. He kissed Rory on her head and followed his spouse.

Rory watched them disappear into the elevator doors. She turned around and found herself face to face with Sookie.

-"I have to get going hon, I'm sorry. I have to get home before Davie wakes up and I'll find a babysitter. Then I have to go by work and tell them what they need to get prepared. Then after that I'll be back." Sookie said, rambling.

-"Ok..." Rory shook her head.

-"Bye sweetie," Sookie kissed her on her head and left.

Rory walked back into the room and her and Liz argued on who was going to sleep where.

-"I'm not sleeping on it." Rory said, for the umpteenth time.

-"Rory, it's fine. You have it."

-"No. If you don't sleep on it then it's going to be unoccupied because I'm not taking it." Rory stated.

-"Fine," Liz gave up.

Rory sat on the chair next to her moms bed and took her hand. She turned and saw Liz fall asleep right as her head hit that cushion. Luke was having trouble sleeping. He watched as Rory started falling asleep.

-"Rory?" Luke whispered.

-"Yeah?" Rory said quietly.

-"There's room over here." Luke said, quietly.

-"For what?"

-"For you to sleep."

-"It's ok I'm fine over here."

-"Your on a chair. I can't sleep until I know your asleep."

-"No Luke. Your probably in pain and I might hurt you. I'll take my chances over here."

-"Rory." Luke demanded.

-"Fine, but if I'm hogging the bed then just tell me."

-"You won't,"

Rory crawled onto the bed next to Luke.

-"Ow!" Luke whispered, quietly.

-"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I told you I would hurt you!" Rory said, sitting up her eyes getting huge.

-"I'm kidding."

-"Not funny." Rory said, seriously.

Rory crawled up on the bed and put her back towards Luke.

-"Did I say thank you?" Rory asked, after a minute of silence.

-"For what?"

-"Saving my mom..."

-"I would do anything for you and your mom. I hope you know that." Luke said, matter of factly.

-"I do. And we would do the same."

-"That's nice to know."

-"Night Luke," Rory said tiredly.

-"Night Rory."
