Jess'sGirl - Hey, glad you liked the chapter! I'm glad you're checking out my site! At my site I'm just going by my first name Emily (Carol is my middle name). Although I am referred to as Em on the site as well.
EVERYONE - I AM SO SORRY I MADE YOU WAIT SO LONG FOR THIS CHAPTER! I've just got a lot of homework (stupid 8th grade) plus now our teachers are on about how in January they're going to place us in what they think we should do in high school (fundemental [below adverage], regular, or honors).

Lorelai rushed into the hospital with Luke trailing behind her holding Jennifer's hand. She saw Rory curled up on one of the chairs.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked. "Rory honey?" She shook Rory's shoulder.
Rory looked to face Lorelai opening up her eyes which were horribly red.
"Oh Rory," Lorelai said sitting down and gathering Rory in her arms.
"They won't tell me anything Mom," Rory said. "I don't know if he's still alive or anything. I'm just so scared."
"It'll be fine Rory," Lorelai said hugging her. Rory nodded as slient tears slowly worked their way down her face.

Jess felt like a ton of bricks had landed on him. He kept his eyes closed and just dreamt. Rory and him reading side by side, him having to beg Rory to borrow books, Rory smiling, the smile that lit up his life. Finding out Rory was gone, Leah Haden entering his life and him knowing who it really was a few days later. Matthew coming after her, him getting shot for the first time. The trial and Rory pushing him away. Valentine's Day when she ran away again. The motel room in San Francisco and Matthew shooting him again. The site of seeing himself in the ambulance with a crying Rory next to him and the paramedics surrounding him, like an out of body experience.
Jess slowly opened his eyes and a flood of light filled his eyes.
Where was he?
He was comfortable and his room was bright.
Was this heaven?
He turned his head and saw someone sitting next to him. She was beautiful even though he couldn't see her face which was buried in her hands where she was curled up on the chair next to his bed. She looked sad.
Could angels be sad?
Was she even an angel?
He strained to get a better view of her by standing up but wires held him to machines surrounding his bed.
Suddenly it dawned on him.
This wasn't heaven, and he wasn't dead.
This was a hospital and the girl next to him had to be Rory.
"Rory?" he managed to say.
She looked up from her hands. "Jess?" she asked. She wrapped her arms around him as efficently as she could with all the wires attached to him. "Oh Jess, you're alive." She lay her head on his chest.
Jess didn't say anything, it was all to hard, but he could feel her tears soaking the hospital gown he wore. He strained to put his arm around her but it was too hard.
"Oh Jess," Rory said. "It's all my fault."
Jess shook his head, "No Rory," he said. He moved himself over on the bed a little bit and Rory climbed on next to him with her arms still around him.
And they lay there in silence.

Luke peered into Jess's hospital room to see him sitting there with his eyes open and Rory laying next to him asleep from exaustion.
"Hey Uncle Luke," Jess said quietly. "How'd you get here?"
"Rory called us," Luke said. "We're all here, Lorelai and Jennifer are in the cafeteria."
"What time is it?" Jess asked. "How long have I been here?"
"Your surgery left you pretty knocked out for awhile," Luke said taking the seat where Rory had been sitting earlier. "It's 3 o'clock AM."
"But when did I get here?" Jess asked.
"Maybe around ten, noon," Luke said. "I don't really know, no one bothered to look at a clock and Rory was too distressed to tell us."
"Distressed?" Jess asked. "But I was shot last time and she was able to answer questions."
"Jess," Luke said quietly. "You died in the ambulance when they were bringing you here. You're only alive because they shocked your heart."
"I died?"
"Yes, and Rory had to watch it all and she hasn't talked to us since we got here," Luke looked down at Rory fondly. "We'd just found her and then we almost lost you."
