Disclaimer- Wish I owned Gilmore Girls, but I don't. I'm also only 13 so if you sue me I don't have that much money in the first place. I DO own Emma and Emily and some other characters. I also don't own really much else mentioned in here, such as Judy Blume and American Airlines.
Summary- Future Fic - Rory's life isn't always what she wanted. Jess's life isn't always what he wanted. In fact, not that many people's life is what they wanted. But Jess goes out in search of something he always wanted. To find he may never get it.
Rating- PG right now for slight language
Spoilers- None anymore really

Luke wiped down the counter in the diner. He sighed. Normally the diner was open for Thanksgiving dinners but Lorelai was out visiting Rory so they weren't doing their huge trips around, eating 4 HUGE dinners. Instead they were probably in Rory's apartment eating a nice dinner, just the two of them.
***
Rory placed the tiny turkey down on the table. Lorelai squealed. "It's so tiny!"
Rory just laughed at her mother.
"So why isn't Eric here?" Lorelai asked her.
"Well we've only been going out for a month, it didn't seem like we knew each other well enough," Rory said.
"That and Jess is in town. And you still love Jess and don't want to see Eric."
"That's true," Rory mumbled.
"What?" Lorelai said.
"I meant that's not true," Rory said quickly.
"You're in denial," Lorelai said.
"No I'm not," Rory said.
"There you go again!"
"I'm not in denial," Rory said. "I don't love Jess!"
"I give up," Lorelai said. "I can't spend any more time with you like this, I'm leaving." Lorelai stood up and grabbing her purse she walked out the door yelling, "You can mail me my stuff."
Rory sighed and sat there eating the dinner quietly.
Lorelai stood outside the door of the apartment. She wasn't coming after her. Rory wasn't coming after her. Lorelai turned and walked down the stairs and went out the main entrance to the building.
She walked the short distance to the train station, bought a ticket, and got on the next train heading to O'Hare airport.
***
Rory sat on her couch reading Jess's book that had just been dropped off yesterday but she hadn't gotten around to reading it. Lorelai had left a half an hour ago. Rory decided to turn on the news. Top story: a train crash. The train was on its way to O'Hare airport when a car sitting on the tracks was hit, then another train was also coming the other way. The one train stopped enough that only 3 people were killed but many remained unconscious and a few were unidentified.
Rory gasped. Lorelai was going to O'Hare, and the only way to get there was to take the train.
***
Was this what he'd wanted? To be a diner man who hadn't had a girlfriend since he broke up with Nicole 3 years ago?
Maybe that was because the woman he wanted he couldn't have, because she'd never want him.
Luke's thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing. He picked it up. "Luke's," he said quickly.
"Luke," a crying voice he recognized was on the other end. "Luke it's me."
"Rory?" Luke said. "Rory what's wrong?"
"Mom and I got in... in a fight. And she left and got on a train and... and," Rory was crying harder now.
"What Rory?" Luke asked concerned. "What happened?"
"I think her train crashed," Rory just broke down. "Luke, I need you here. Please. There's a plane leaving for Chicago O'Hare in two hours, just get here Luke, please."
"I'll be there Rory," Luke said.
***
Lorelai woke up in a strange room. The last thing she'd remembered was a huge jolt and then falling and hitting her head.
Her eyes darted around the room. Luke? That couldn't be Luke.
"Lorelai?" Luke moved from his chair to kneeling on the ground next to Lorelai.
"Luke?" Lorelai said. Her voice was faint and she was still groggy.
"I'm here Lorelai," Luke said.
"How did you get here?" Lorelai asked. "I'm in Illinois aren't I?"
"Yeah," Luke said. "Rory called me and told me to get here, you've been unconscious for 6 hours, Thanksgiving's almost over."
"I never got a dinner," Lorelai said. "Oh Luke, I was such an idiot. I keep pressing Rory about her still loving Jess since he's in town and all -"
Luke cut Lorelai off, "Jess is in town?" He asked.
"Yeah," Lorelai said. "But Rory and I got in a big fight over it. It's all my fault." Lorelai started to cry.
"Lorelai," Luke said. "Don't cry Lorelai. Lorelai, you're alive. The minute I got the call from Rory I was scared you were dead. I couldn't lose you Lorelai. I love you."
"I love you too Luke," Lorelai said.
"And earlier today I didn't think I had anything to be thankful for," Luke said. "But now I'm just thanking God for your life."

A/N- I hope you REALLY enjoyed this! It was fun to write with Lorelai and Luke finally admitting that they love each other! Anyway, please R&R!
