A/n: It's taken me a while to write another chapter to this, and I'm sorry about that. School just needed to be finished first! I'm not quite sure how many people read the last chapter, some might have missed it, so you should definitely read it. It's one of the big chapters! Reread it! Yes!

Ah, I have decided to NOT make this a R/J. I thought it was going to be that way, but it won't work out as much as I would like it to, but they can just be good friends. Everyone down with that? OK! Read ahead!

After about 45 minutes, Lorelai finally crept out of Luke's room, as he has fallen asleep again. Walking down the long, white hallway, a small smile crept over her lips as she recalled what had happened only 20 minutes before.

~Christ, I don't think I could hide a thing like this from Rory.~ She thought to herself, her smile partially disappearing. Nearing the waiting room, Lorelai successfully hid her smile, and walked in seeing Rory sleeping on Jess's shoulder, and Jess was reading a magazine. Taking another step further, Jess noticed her and shifted his weight, and trying to wake Rory at the same time.

"Jess, don't worry about it, let her sleep." Lorelai said, hoping to calm the tension between Jess and herself. Although it had tamed, it was still there.

"Are you sure? I could…"

Lorelai cut him off before he could finish, and said, "No, I'm sure. Actually, I was going to take Rory home, do you want to carry her out to the car so she doesn't have to wake up?"

He nodded his head and gently lifted Rory into his arms. "Point the way!" He told Lorelai, and the three left the hospital.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"This is it!" Lorelai told Jess. She opened the front passenger-side door and motioned for Jess to put her in.

"That should be fine for now, Thanks Jess."

Jess smiled and said, "No problem. It's not like I really wanted to wake her up, she looked pretty happy sleeping."

"Yeah, Rule number one. Never wake a Gilmore Girl up before 5 o' clock. But, actually, that wasn't what I was going to that you for. I'm glad that you came back to town. I promise to be more nice."

"Thanks, I'll try, too. Didn't we talk about this earlier?"

"Whatever, can't go through it too many times. Do you want a ride home?"

"Nah, that's OK, I think I'll stay for a while."

Lorelai nodded, and got in the car. "Watch him for me, OK?"

"Will do." Jess started walking back into the hospital.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~

Driving home, Lorelai was beaming, while Rory was still sleeping in the seat next to her.

~ Rory, I hate lying to you, but I want this to work before anyone in town ruins in for us ~

A worried smile overtakes Lorelai's beaming one. Driving on, only 10 minutes away from Stars Hollow, Rory wakes up slowly, partially confused about where she was.

"Mom, where are we going?" Rory asks, causing her mother to be pulled out of her imagination.

"Ror, we are going home. From the Hospital" Lorelai replies

"Mom, but what about school? I need to go to school!"

"Rory, your school day is over in an hour and a half, and you still need to go home and change, then come back. You would only be in school for 20 minutes."

"Ugh. Fine. I'll just read when we get home."

Silence overcame them for a few minutes, as they both thought of what they should talk about. Rory wanted to know what her mother had said to Luke, but she didn't want to make her mom mad, something that would obviously happen if she pried. She fought with herself for a few more minutes before finally deciding that the question needed to be asked.

"Mom, what did you say to Luke while you were in there?"

They drove in silence for a few minutes, as Lorelai couldn't think of a decent answer.

"Oh, Nothing the weather, what was on Days of Our Lives today, the usual."

Not wanting to push her mom, she let it go. She knew that her mom wasn't telling her the whole truth, but the way she was looking to the right. Rory knew it was a scientific fact, that if someone were lying, they would look towards the right.

Oh, hey, Luke woke up while I was in there." Lorelai said, smiling once again.

Rory sat up and smiled back. "Really? What did he say? Did he remember everything? Did he tell you what happened?"

"Whoa, calm down, You sure are hyped up for a person who didn't get her coffee this morning! He was fine, remembered everything, except what happened."

"Awsome! What did you talk about?"

"Nothing, really, just…stuff."

"Liar! But, I'll be patient and read it out of your diary tonight!" Rory said, sticking her tongue at her mom.

"Sure, go for the diary. You'll never find it! I'll eat it! I swear!"

They pulled into the driveway, and turned off the car.

Before getting out, Rory said, "Mom, He'll be all right. I promise."

Lorelai smiled slightly, and replied, "Yeah, I know. Now, lets go see what we have for food!"

Both got out of the car and walked inside the house, only one being the same person before the day was up.
