Taylor banged his gavel. "Attention! Can I get your attention?"

As usual, no one was paying attention to Taylor. "HELLO!" He hollered.

"Hey, I think that man in the cardigan is speaking," Lorelai said to Luke.

Luke took her face softly in his hands. "So we can resume making out in public?"

Lorelai giggled and cuddled next to him. "Exactly!"

Taylor banged his gavel violently. "Can we settle down? And will you two stop..."

Patty smiled slyly. "No, do continue!"

Babette called out, "I second that!"

Taylor looked exasperated. "How come you two never show any enthusiasm for any of my business?" He hmphed and put his hands on his hips.

Patty cocked her head at Babette. They both shrugged.

"Anyways," Taylor said shaking his head at the happy couple. "The first order of business is the Star's Hollow firemen."

"Oooh, firemen!" Lorelai stopped gazing into Luke's eyes and clapped her hands.

"Stop that," Taylor said sternly. "The Star's Hollow firemen want to buy longer hoses.."

"Ooo, dirty!" Lorelai said giggling. Even Luke had to laugh at Taylor's discomfort.

"Stop that!!" Taylor yelled. Suddenly Taylor started beeping..... Taylor.. beeping?

"WHAT?" Luke yelled and abruptly sat up in his cot. He shook his head. It had been a dream... Lorelai was still in the hospital bed next to him. And she was still... Luke sighed sadly. 'My fault, my fault,' He thought guiltily.

Then he realized that the beeping was coming from her. Her blood pressure was steadily decreasing and the machine was making crazy noises.

"Oh my god," Luke said and jumped up from the cot.

*************************

Five minutes later, Luke was ushered out of the room. "No, No!" Luke yelled and banged on the glass door. The nurse tried to calm him down and take him to a seating area, but he pushed her away. "Mr. Gilmore... Sir, you can't...," She begged.

"NOOOO!" Luke started hitting the glass. His fists were hurting him, but nothing compared to what he felt in his heart.

The nurses and doctors were running around the tiny room carrying various instruments and yelling orders. "Let me in!" He screamed. If she was going to die.. No. He shook his head violently. He couldn't think about that.

The nurses, realizing that he would eventually tire out, left him alone.

*************************

'It was so real..,' He thought banging on the glass door. 'She was alive and well.. and kissing me and saying 'dirty'... and God, she was so beautiful..'

He knew that no one was going to let him into the room. But it didn't matter. Lorelai might be dying and he was stuck here, on the other side. He laughed at the irony. 'As always, Luke Danes is separated from Lorelai by a glass wall..' He stopped banging and looked at his swelling fists.

Head down, he leaned against the glass and slid down to sit against the door.

"No.. please," Luke whispered. "Please don't die, Lorelai..." His body shuddering, Luke sat alone in his own grief.

Rory hadn't stopped crying since they had left the hospital a couple hours ago. She was sitting on the floor in Sookie's living room with a box of tissues.

Sookie brought her coffee and soup. Setting the tray down, Sookie tried to console her.

"Rory, please, hon... your mom will be fine. She looked.. fine.." Sookie closed her eyes and tried to shut out the image of Lorelai in the hospital bed.. 'God, what am I saying? She looked like she gonna...' Sookie shook her head. No, she wasn't even going to think the d-word.

Rory sobbed louder. "I love her.. what if she doesn't know? I haven't been calling ... and...she can't die... she can't die.."

"Honey," Sookie sat down next to Rory on the floor and rubbed her back. "Don't cry, you have to be strong for her.. when she comes back home, she won't be able to do stuff by herself.. and she needs you to be strong. And go back to school and get amazing grades and be smart.. and happy. She wants you to be happy." 'Even if she...'

Sookie tried to push back the tears that were forming in the back of her eyes. They were threatening to fall.

She couldn't win. Closing her eyes, Sookie let the pools of tears fall down her face and sat rubbing Rory's back.
