When Rory and Jess went to the diner, it was packed. Luke was shouting orders to Caesar while he was trying to feed a screaming Alexia with a half empty bottle. At the sight of her daughter, Rory smiled brightly and whispered, "She's gorgeous."
"Yeah, she is." He agreed and went to the counter where look was and picked up Alexia.
"Hey Luke." Rory greeted him timidly, hoping that he wasn't upset with her for leaving like she did.
"Rory! Hey!" He said with a warm and familiar smile. He then looked at both Rory and Jess and raised an eyebrow and tried to conceal a knowingly smile.
Jess held Alexia out to Rory and asked, "Would you like to hold her?"
"Um… Okay," She held Alexia meekly and watched her giggle. "I shouldn't have left."
"You've already apologized to me," He nodded towards Alexia and told her. "I can't speak for Alexia, though."
"Oh." She looked terribly depressed and Jess felt bad.
"But she is known to be very forgiving though." He added with a smirk. He heard his cell phone ring and then Luke pointed to the "No Cell Phones" sign. "I have to go outside. Can you watch Alexia?"
"Yeah, okay." Rory answered.
When Jess left Alexia started to struggle and Rory was afraid she was going to fall so she clutched her around her body and gently soothed her and Alexia became less fussy.
"She seems to like you." Luke told her.
"Thanks." She answered, taking this compliment in high esteem.
Suddenly, Jess came rushing in to the diner with a look of desperation in his eyes.
"Jess," Luke was alerted and took hold of his nephew by the shoulders. "What's wrong?"
"It's Sam. She's in the hospital." He answered, his voice breaking up in misery.
"Who's Sam?" Luke asked.
"She baby sat Alexia when I had to work." Jess answered.
"What happened to her?" Rory, too, was concerned.
"She was robbed and the robber knocked her to the ground and she became unconscious and broke three bones. I have to go over there to be with her. I was the closest thing to a family to her." He said so quickly that Rory and Luke would not have been able to understand him if they were not used to Lorelai's fast-talking monologues.
What can we do to help?" Rory was more than willing to help and she knew that Luke was the same.
"Can you take Alexia? They won't accept a baby in the hospital and even if they did, I wouldn't be able to take care of both Alexia and Sam at the same time." He pleaded.
"Yeah, sure. Of course." She nodded and was actually excited about spending some alone time with their daughter.
"Thanks. All of her stuff is upstairs. I'll call as soon as I get to New York. I have enough money in my wallet to get me there. I shouldn't be there too long." He said gratefully.
He kissed Alexia on the forehead and then smiled a little at Rory. He left the diner.
"Do you know anything about babies?" Luke asked and as if on cue, Alexia started to bawl.
"Not a clue." She answered nervously and rocked Alexia to try to stop the crying.

So, how was it? Next chapter will be some serious Alexia/Rory bonding and possibly a little Sam/Jess happening.
And before anyone asks if Sam and Jess will be a couple, I'm as in the dark as anyone else. I have no idea how I'm going to end this story or when, so stick with me please!
