I' not sure if I totally like this chapter so tell me wat u think, and yes I know its an odd place to end it but I thought that if I didn't like the way it was going then wots the point in adding to it? Tell me if I should change it in any way. BUT BE NICE!! Hehehe happy reading!!…

Half an hour later…
Luke and Emily were sitting by the nurse's station waiting for news of Lorelai. Rory's camp had been notified of her mother's condition and arrangements were being made to return her to Star Hollow as soon as possible. Emily had also rung Ritchard on his mobile, though he was unable to return due to a lack of flights from New York to Hartford.
Both were quiet as they waited, occasionally glancing up when they heard the doors smash open, but still no news on Lorelai. Neither noticed as a man in a white coat stepped up to them from the opposite direction to the doors.
"Excuse me, Are you Mrs. Gilmore?" he asked.
Emily looked up, surprised to see the man there.
"Yes, that's me. Is there news of my daughter?"
"Nice to meet you. I'm doctor Philips. Your daughter has been in intensive care for the last few hours but I don't find it necessary for he to remain there, in fact she is being moved as we speak." He replied.
"Well, what's wrong with her?" Luke asked impatiently, stepping out from behind Emily.
"Are you family?" Dr. Philips enquired.
"Ah…well..."
"Fiancé." Emily answered, winking at Luke when the doctor wasn't looking.
"Ah…yeah…fiancé." Luke agreed, smiling at Emily a little.
"Well it should be ok to tell you, you'll be family soon enough." Dr. Philips thought out loud. "Ok, we inspected her as soon as she arrived and found that her entire central nervous system had just 'shut down.' We think his is because of a lack of caffeine in Lorelai's bloodstream. Her body relies on it so heavily that even a few hours without caused her body to seize up. Now I have her on an IV of caffeine, which is supplying her need for the meantime. Though she will have to be slowly taken off the drug over a period of six months, but apart from that she should be fine, she's just a little weak." He explained.
Luke frowned and looked at his feet. He felt so guilty. He was the reason she had the attack. He was the one that told her she couldn't have coffee. He was the one who agreed to the stupid bet. It was his fault.
"Where is she?" Luke asked, eager to see her and apologise.
"Room 6C. Down that corridor, turn left and it's the second door on the right." He pointed as he talked.
Luke ran off following the directions, with Emily in toe, though he didn't care about her, he just needed to get to Lorelai.
But as he approached her door, he began to have second thoughts. Would she really want to see him? Would she shun him for what he did to her and never come to his diner ever again? These thoughts terrified Luke.
Emily caught up to him outside Lorelai's room, and seemed to read his thoughts,
"It'll be ok, just got in." She said as she placed a reassuring hand on his back, gently pushing him inside.
As he stepped in the room, Luke heard the unmistakable song of the Oompa Loompas coming from the television across the room. He shuddered a little, but smiled when he thought about how much Lorelai loved that movie.
Stepping even further in, he saw Lorelai. She was sitting half upright in the bed. Her skin was pale and her eyes were drooping though she had a small smile playing across her lips as she watched the screen, totally oblivious to Luke's presence.
"Lorelai?" he asked gently.
She turned towards him and smiled.
"Hey you." She said weakly.
A tear ran down Luke's cheek as he stepped up to the bed. Lorelai saw this and looked at him questioningly.
"What's wrong Luke?" She asked.
"I'm so sorry for doing this to you Lorelai." He said softly, as he picked at the sheets over hanging the edge of the bed.
