****A/N: thanks for the feedback. Sorry this is taking so long. I've never
done this before! Any ideas would be great. Also, know that in this story
Lorelai and Luke are together, so are Jess and Paris, but the younger two
have yet to appear in the story.***
The hallway of the hospital was too quiet. Too empty. Tristan sat on a chair across from Rory's room, waiting for her to get out of surgery. He had filled out the papers, called Lorelai, and now he was just waiting. Waiting for news on Rory's condition, waiting for Rory's family to arrive. The wait was driving him crazy. Sighing, Tristan slumped back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair. The cup of coffee from the nurses station had gone cold- Tristan was shaking enough already, he didn't think his body could handle any caffeine. He was just about to get up and pester the nurses when he saw Lorelai come flying down the hallway, a worried Luke following close behind. "Tristan!" Lorelai called, "Tristan where's my baby?! Where is Rory!" "She's still in surgery, Lorelai." Luke put his hand on Lorelai's shoulder, steadying her. "Do you know anything?" he asked. Tristan sighed, "not yet." Lorelai looked outraged, "how could they not tell you anything? I hate this stupid hospital." She started pacing up and down the corridor, "We can't just sit here. I'm going to find out what I can." With that, Lorelai went down the hallway trying to find a doctor.
Tristan sat back down again, next to a very tired looking Luke. "Tristan, I'm sure she'll be fine," Luke said. "You have-" Tristan's voice broke, "You have no idea how afraid I was. I found her Luke, bloody and broken. I didn't know what to do. I thought she was going to die-I don't know what I'd do if she died." "You love her." It wasn't a question. "Yeah," Tristan whispered. "Does she know?" "I. I told her, when I found her. She was conscious for a minute." Tristan felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Lorelai standing next to him. "Did Rory say anything back?" she whispered. "She said. she said she loved me, and that she loved you too, Lorelai." Tears filled Lorelai's eyes. "I'm glad she told you, I've been waiting for her to say something." With that she moved over and sat next to Luke. He draped his arm around her shoulder and stared ahead of him. "Anything yet?" Luke asked. Lorelai glanced at him, then at Tristan who was currently holding his head in his hands. "Rory should be out from surgery soon."
With that they just sat there, the three of them, staring at the empty hospital room in front of them. Waiting for Rory.
