A/N Okay- It's morning and already my slave driver fiend is calling on me to work. I guess I better do this if I ever wanna see sunlight again (hehehehehehe). Well Chapter 2 should be up soon if not today. Remember REVIEW!!!! Thanks!

Chapter 2: Sirens, White Walls, and Changes....Oh My!

"Ring ring ring.....ring ring ring...ring ring ring..." went the phone in Lorelai Gilmore's living room.

"Who the heck could be called at this confounded hour. Speaking of confounded things, my daughter isn't home yet. Boy-o-boy she'll never know what hit her."Lorelai said half awake while going to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello. Ms. Gilmore?" the man said while Lorelai mumbled something unintelligent about being called Ms.

"Yes this is. May I ask who you are and why you might be calling me this late at night?" Lorelai grumbled.

"Well my name is Constable Peters. I called to inform you of a car accident on the main highway involving your daughter Rory, I believe her name is, and a young man named Dean."

Lorelai collapsed to the couch still listening to the Constable speak but not quite registering what he was saying.

"Is she okay?" Lorelai blurted out.

"We aren't very sure quite yet. All we know is she was knocked unconcious along with Dean and that she seemed quite critical. If you'd like to go visit her she's at the Stars Hollow Hospital." Constable Peters announced.

"Thanks officer...."Lorelai said meekly.

"Goodbye Ma'am."

As Lorelai hung up the phone, she suddenly felt weak. She needed to go see Rory, but she couldn't face it alone. Lorelai tohught of people to call. Chirstopher, no he's too far away and most likely too busy to get involved in this. She knew that wasn't true but she didn't want Christopher there with her. Maybe Luke was back. She decided to try Luke. If anyone, he'd understand what she was going through. Lorelai picked up the receiver and dialed Luke's number.

"Hullo..." a groggy voice grumbled.

"Luke, it's Lorelai. I need to ask you a favor."

"No I will not get you coffee right now. Now go back to sleep like the rest of Stars Hollow..." Luke barely finished after hearing Lorelai start crying. "I'm guessing this isn't about the coffee."

"Luke! It's Rory. Her...and Dean...got into a car...accident. She's in...the hospital." Lorelai said between sobs. "I need you...to come with me...to see her."

"Oh Lorelai! I'll be right over there! I'm so sorry!" Luke said as he hung up the phone.

Lorelai fell onto her couch and immediately burst into larger tears. She couldn't believe what was happening. Rory was her only daughter. She didn't know what she'd do without her.

"Where am I?" Dean thought as he slowly awoke to a small white room.

"Good morning young man." said a strange man's deep voice. "You've been unconcious for quite some time now. How are you feeling?"

"Unconcious? Where am I?" Dean replied confused.

"Yes, you and your girlfriend were in a major car accident. Your now in the Stars Hollow Hospital."

"RORY! How is she? Oh it's all my fault..." Dean quietly said.

"She's stable right now, but for a while we weren't sure if she was going to make it. The vehicle that hit you two hit onto her side of your car. All her ribs were smashed in and we weren't sure if her organs would collapse, but she seems to be slowly recovering. As for it being your fault, I doubt that. The driver in the other car was drunk. You couldn't have stopped what happened." Dean's doctor told him gently.

"Yea I guess your right." Dean said timidly, but still thought it was all his fault. "Can I go see her?"

"Sure Dean. Go on, but don't be too taken back, she still hasn't woken and her looks are worse than her condition really." the doctor warned.

Dean got up and braced himself for the horror he felt he caused for Rory. "How can I ever look her in the eyes again? I bet when she is better, she won't want anything to do with me." He thought. He entered her room and didn't see the beautiful girl who only hours ago cuddled up against him in the park. This girl looked so close to death she couldn't be his Rory. His Rory was full of life, and never let anything bring her down.

Dean sat down and watched Rory lie there motionless. How could he have done this to her. He decided to leave before he got to attached to her because he knew after this their relationship was over. She'd never forgive him. He quickly left the room not leaving any sign he was even there or ever would be.

"Rory? It's me Lorelai, your mother. Please wake up." Lorelai pleaded. "I know you've been through alot, but you have to wake up I need you here." Then to Luke she said "I'm not sure what to do Luke. I'm so scared... I mean if it means I don't get to drink coffee for the next millenium, thats what I'll do to make her better."

"I'm sure she's fine Lore. She's just got some obstacles to overcome. Rory's a strong girl, she'll be fine." Luke reassured her.

"I hope so Luke, I really do." Lorelai said as she placed her head on Luke's shoulder and tried to calm down.

Luke stroked Lorelai's head and repeated reassuring words into her train of thought. Just then, the doctor walked in.

"Hello. Ms. Gilmore. Sir. I'm happy to announce that Rory's vitals are rising. She seems to be coming back to us. As long as we keep watch over her, she should awake any time in the next few days." The doctor said cheerfully.

"Oh Luke!" Lorelai exclaimed "She's going to be fine!"

Luke just sat there quiet, not sure what to say. He knew how wonderful Lorelai was feeling right now, but he couldn't explain the feeling he was feeling right now, ever since Lorelai laid her head onto his shoulder. "No I can't be falling for her!" he thought. "I just can't!"

*A/N I wasn't planning on ending it this way, but it's the best way I could if I didn't want it to be around 20 pages long. Well Yet again the outcome is predictable, but I can surely say, not for long dear fanfic readers, not for long!*
