Love and Crisis: Part 2
"Did she say that they wouldn't be able to live without Daniel?" Lorelai asks Luke, not able to
believe her ears.
"Wow, I guess so." he says, surprised.
Trying to find a way to distract Julia, Lorelai asks her to please find Headmaster Charleston.
Julia set out immediately to look for him as Lorelai crept towards the Weathers, with Luke
behind her.
"Do you think we should be doing this?" asked Luke.
"Yes, I have to thank these people and try to show my appreciation."
"Is that even possible?"
"They are helping Rory so much, I have to let them know. It will make them feel better if they know
their son's death was good for Rory."
"I suggest you don't phrase it like that."
"Why?"
"Well, lets just say they won't exactly be friendly if you say you're glad their son died so Rory could
live."
"Yeah, it does sound kind of conceited, doesn't it?" she asked.
"Now you have the idea."
As they approached the two crying people, Lorelai stiffened and looked nervous.
"Hello, I'm Lorelai Gilmore, you know Rory's mom?" she introduced herself.
"Rory?" they asked.
"Uh, Lorelai, I don't think they know about the kidneys." Luke whispered as he nudged her.
Lorelai looked confused and started to explain. As they sat down, Mrs.Weather started to cry.
"I just can't believe Daniel is dead!"
"Oh, but will it make you feel better if I told you that your son is going to save my daughter's life?"
she asked carefully.
"What?" they asked and looked up.
"My daughter has a kidney problem and was possibly going to die if she didn't get a kidney
donor quickly. However, your son is going to donate his kidney."
Daniel's parents were completely speechless.
"I just want to thank you so much. My daughter means- she is so much to me."
"Daniel was so important to us too." the mother said.
"Now, he's a past tense." the father said. They looked so sad that Lorelai had to be sympathetic.
"Hey, at least you remember him happy. If my daughter dies, the last I saw of her alive was in a
coma, almost dead, lying on a hospital bed."
"I'm just so glad Daniel got to do something even when he's dead." said Mr.Weather
"He was such a sweet boy."
"How old was he?" asked Luke.
"Sixteen." The parents replied together.
"Wow," said Luke for the fifth time that day.
"Stop saying that." Lorelai mumbled, finally in horrible realization that Rory could die.
"Lorelai- I mean Miss Gilmore," started the nurse," Rory has awakened. You may see her now."
She walked down the hall, leaving Lorelai, Luke, and the Weather's together.
"I hope everything goes all right." contributed the Weathers.
"I hope so too." said Luke.
"Wow," said Lorelai.
"Hi Mom, hi Luke." Rory said weakly. It was three hours after the surgery.
"Hi sweetie." said Lorelai warmly.
"Hi Rory." greeted Luke.
"Am I okay?" asked Rory.
"You're gonna be fine." assured Luke.
"Thanks." answered Rory.
"Hey don't thank us, thank the Weather's for giving you their son's kidneys."
At that exact moment, two gunshots were heard through the hall. Someone screamed. Rory,
Lorelai and Luke jumped.
"What was that, Mom?" asked Rory worriedly.
"Sounds like someone is shooting someone."
Luke was already out in the hallway, investigating. Lorelai ran out too, as soon as she prevented
Rory from standing up and going to the hallway herself.
They both gasped, horrified. The Weathers, shot down, were both lying down, dying in a puddle
of blood. The gun was pressed into Mr.Weather's hand. As they were losing their strength, Mrs.Weather's
hand opened and a note came out. Lorelai didn't dare touch it, so she waited a couple of moments later
when all the nurses and doctors in the intensive care wing came running. They rushed the couple on
strechers and brought them into the operating room.
FIfteen minutes later, a doctor walked out and said," They're gone."
Lorelai wanted to scream, but instead asked," What did the note say?"
The doctor looked pained. The nurse that followed him said," The note said they could not live
without their son and as soon as any mention of them in Rory's room came, they would shoot themselves,
because they always wanted him to be remembered." she sighed and walked down the hallway, as if this
incident didn't bother her.
All Luke and Lorelai could ask was," Why?"
When they returned to Rory's room, she was still awake, eagerly awaiting news. The look on her
face brightened when they came back, but faded whtn she heard the news.
"But why?" Lorelai and Luke looked at each other with the mention of this hard question.
"I guess that they always wanted their family to be remembered for their sacrifices." explained Luke.
"I am going to remember them for as long as I live." vowed Rory.
"So will I." said Lorelai.
Epilogue
"Hi Rory, whats up?" asked Christopher, her father on the phone.
"Hi Dad, I'm definitely feeling better." They chatted for a while, until he finally asked, "Can I talk to your
mom?"
"She's out on a date with Luke." she said.
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, ever since my operation, Mom has been learning to treasure life and is deciding to make
the most out of it."
"By dating Luke?"
"I guess so." said Rory. "Are you jealous?" she pressed her father.
"I am, I am, because your mother is something so enjoyable, you could never imagine life without
her, and here I am, doing it."
"Awwww, Dad."
"Don't tell I said that."
"Ok." promised Lorelai, crossing her fingers."I have to go now, Dad. Bye!"
"Bye, sweetheart."
When Lorelai slammed the front door while coming in, Rory raced down the stairs, yelling," Hey,
guess what Dad said?"
