A/N: It would be greatly appreciated if everyone who reads this would review it. I know this isn't going to happen (because I don't always do it), but I still wish.

A month later Lorelai's condition was still unchanged. Rory had to go back to school, but Luke was still there day in and day out.
Luke had just walked back into the room after watching Rory get on the bus for school. He glanced over at Lorelai and saw her flutter her eyes. She opened her eyes, looked at him and smiled. "Luke, I want coffee."
"Lorelai, do you even know what day it is?"
"No, but I need caffeine!" she said trying to sit up and failing. "Could I get some help here?!"
He walked over to her and helped her sit up. "Now just sit here, the nurse will want to know you're awake."
"See if you can get me some food while you're out there. I'm starvin'." She yelled to him as he walked out the door.
A few minutes later he came back in with a nurse and a plate of food. "It's great to see you awake Miss Gilmore."
"And it's great to see food." Lorelai said taking the tray.
"Well I'm glad to see that you have an appetite."
"I've never seen a time when she wasn't hungry." Luke joked watching her scarf down every speck of food on the tray.
"I'll take this out of here for you." The nurse took back the tray from Lorelai. "The doctor should be here to see you in about an hour."
The nurse left the room and left Luke and Lorelai in an uncomfortable silence. "Luke, where's Rory?" Lorelai said breaking the silence after a few minutes.
"Oh, you just missed her. She just left for school." He said taking a seat on the bed Rory had been sleeping on.
"School! Luke, seriously. How long was I."
"In a coma." Luke finished.
"I.I was in a coma!"
"Yeah, for almost a month and a half."
"What! What happened with the inn? And why aren't you at the diner?"
"The inn is just fine. Sookie and Michel have been taking over for you."
"Still, my question, why aren't you at the diner?"
"Because I've been here with you all the time. And because Cesar can take care of the diner by himself."
"You've been here the whole time?"
"Yep. The only time either Rory or I left was to take a shower."
"Where did you sleep?"
"In the chair over there. Rory slept here."
"So for a month and a half you slept in a chair."
"Yeah."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I love you." He got up and walked over to her.
"I love you too Luke." She said just before he kissed her.
