The next morning Lorelai woke up, to find she was cuddled against Luke. She
got up so that she would not wake him. She grabbed her robe and walked into
the bathroom. A few minutes later she walked out, and watched Luke sleep.
She sat down on the bed next to him and shook him slightly, to wake him up.
"Luke come on wake up. It's already 8:00."
"Yea yea." He said groggily sitting up, and leaning against the headboard. "I can't believe you are awake and up before me."
"Well, it's a one time thing, I'm sure." Lorelai said. Luke smiled nervously.
"So last night."
".Was amazing" Lorelai finished, nervously.
"Yea, I agree." Luke said as his cheeks turned a light pink. Lorelai giggled nervously. They sat in an uncomfortable silence, until the phone rang. Lorelai grabbed it off the nightstand.
"Hello?"
"Hello, is this the residence of a Miss Lorelai Gilmore?"
"Yes. Who is this?"
"I'm calling from the Sacramento General Hospital. I'm looking for a Mr. Luke Danes. I was informed by a Miss Natasha Kendral that you could inform me how to contact him." The lady on the other line said.
"He's right here. Just a second." Lorelai said her voice shacking. She couldn't remember were in California Natasha had said she lived, she may not have even mentioned it. Lorelai could not remember. "Luke it's for you. Some lady from the Sacramento General Hospital." Luke sat up strait and grabbed the phone from Lorelai.
"Hello, this is Luke Danes."
"Hello Mr. Danes. I'm calling on behalf of your cousin Natasha Kendral. She and her parents were in a serious car accident late yesterday night. Neither of her parents survived. Miss. Kendral is in serious condition. We are not sure if she is going to make. However she was able to inform us that you are the family she wished we would contact, to take in her young daughter Kiera Kendral, should she not make it. Kiera was also in the accident but got off with a few scratches. We need you to come soon as possible, or make arrangements to collect Kiera. Even should Miss Kendral make, she will be in any shape mentally or physically to take care of her child during recovery and for a while after."
"Um.okay. I'll.I'll be there later tonight or early tomorrow morning." Luke managed to choke out.
"Okay. When you get here just tell the people at the main desk and they'll tell you were to locate Miss Kendral, and were to collect the baby."
"Oh.okay."
"Goodbye Mr. Danes."
"Bye." Luke in a daze hung up and handed the phone to Lorelai. "That was. they said. oh god." Lorelai now, was very nervous, as she did not know what was going on.
"Dammit Luke, snap out of it and tell me what happened!" Lorelai said in a shrill voice.
"Natasha.she and her parents were in an accident. Her parents were killed and she is in critical condition. Whoever that was.I'm guessing a nurse or secretary or whatever said that even if Natasha makes it she won't be able to take care of Kiera, who was also in the accident but got off with a few scratches. I.I was left as guardian."
"Oh wow. So what now?
"I have to call the airport and get a ticket to Sacramento for as soon as possible."
"I'm coming with you. Rory will be okay for a few days on her own."
"I knew you would say that." Luke said cracking a small smile.
"Well, I'll call the airport, you get dressed. I guess we'll take it from there."
"I really hope this all works out."
"Me too Luke, me too."

A/N: Surprise surprise. What do you all think? I'm leaving in less than two weeks to go to France for close to a month, so this is the last chapter until I get back.
