Christmastime came in Stars Hollow. It was a beautiful site because you could see sleighs around town, and Lorelai was just glowing. It helped that Max was supporting her through all this. And of course Rory with her very notable devotion to making these twins as healthy as possible. Lorelai was now five months pregnant with her twins. But Lorelai's happiness came to a screeching halt when Rory had to rush her to the hospital on Christmas Eve.

Lorelai: Rory, I just cannot lose these babies now, not now.

Rory: The babies are going to be fine mom. Now I am going to call the Gilmore's and Max. He should be here with you. Even if you don't love him, he'd want to be here with you.

Lorelai: I agree. Go call them. But hurry Rory, I want you to be with me. I can't do this without you as my strong support.

But it was too late. Weighing just13 oz., and measuring 10 ½ inches in length, Carson Richard Gilmore- Medina was stillborn on Christmas Eve night, about 20 minutes after Emily, Richard and Max arrived. Lorelai was very upset. All she wanted was Rory in the room, and no one else, not even Max, little Carson's daddy. The only son Max had was gone.

Rory stayed with her mom all through the night. But they still had one ray of hope. Little Emma or Grant was still thriving, and was going to wait to be born. They had to think of that baby. They all tried to focus on the impending arrival.

As hard as she tried, Lorelai couldn't go on. She never seemed as sad and upset as she had now. She would just sit on the "right, comfy" couch after work and watch talk shows and things like that. Rory couldn't help but be very concerned about her mother and the new baby boy or girl growing in her mother's uterus.

Rory knew of only one person who could cheer her mother up, and it was Luke. Luke can cheer her up she thought. Rory called Luke, and he came over to try and cheer her up. But it didn't work. Lorelai Gilmore was in a severe depression, that even Rory couldn't get her out of. Not even her loving daughter could do it. It made Rory very upset. She would often sit in school and cry all day, just because there was nothing she could do to help her grieving mother.
