"Before I met him, I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times."- Rita Rudner

On to the story…

"Dean!" Rory yelled as she rounded the corner.

"Hey Rory!" he kissed her slightly on the cheek.

"Were still on for movie night?"

"If my name is Dean than yes we are." He smiled softly as his brown eyes twinkled in the sun.

His name is Dean…so…that's a yes!

"Good, good. Well I have to go eat or I will be in the hospital for lack of food soon."

Dean laughed.

"I'm serious! You don't want to see me there now do you?"

"No, no Rory of course not."

"Alright Mr., I'm leaving I've had enough of this abuse!" and stomped of.

"Hey Rory!" he hollered at her. "Our "fight" isn't going to stop movie night right?"

"Good rhyme! I think you should become Lil' Dean!"

"Huh?" Dean said stupidly.

"Bye Ruff Ryda!"

"What are you talking about?" he asked as he furrowed his brows.

"See ya tonight!" Rory yelled from the diner.

(Lukes- Rory, Jess)

"Luke!" Rory yelled up the stairs.

Jess came trudging down the stairs.

"Nope, sorry but I'm the closest being as though I have the flannel and all."

"Ha, funny, not." She replied sarcastically.

"Crowd didn't like that one did they? Give me a few minutes to think of another one." He smirked.

Rory let out a nasty glare.

"What'll it be for you on this lovely ol' mornin'?"

"Waffles and you out of my face!" she snapped.

"Oh, maybe you could make an appearance on my stand-up comedy tape."

Urg! He makes me so mad! I just, I just want to ki…punch him! Yeah! Punch him! I would, but I saw what he did to Dean, who is approximately double his height and double his weight. I must say, Dean got pretty damn smashed. Why is he staring at me?! Does he think this is funny!?

"Do you find this funny Jess?" Rory hissed.

"Promise you won't get mad?"

"I'm already mad!"

"Oh, yeah, musta slipped my mind."

"You know what Jess? You're a real class act!" she replied, he cheeks burning with anger and hate, but her eyes still calm and sweet.

"Yeah? You noticed?" he replied sarcastically.

"Ugh!" Rory snorted while grabbing her jacket and stamping out the door.

Jess chuckled a little. She was so worked up over nothing! It was kind of cute actually.

(Independence Inn)

"Lorelai," Michel said in his heavy french accent.

"What!" she hissed.

"Woah women! Is it that time of month already?"

"Shut up michel!" she snapped back. "Hey Sookie," she yelled. "Take over for a while, I don't feel so good. I think I am going to rest for a little."

"Alright, sweetie, If you need anything I've got, Midol, Tylenol, Advil, Tums, Pepcid A.C.…."

"Woah! Are you trying to drug someone?" Michel asked.

(Stars Hollow Streets- Rory, Dean)

"So, Dean," Rory said nervously as she walked along the streets of Stars Hollow. "I got you something."

"Rory, is it a book?" he asked concerned.

She lowered her head and sighed. "Yeah."

"You know I don't like to read…"

"I know I know. But this book was so facinating about baseball and I thought you would really like it. It has some amazing stories in it about Babe Ruth, Sandy Koufax, Jackie Robinson. Actually, I think, Sandy Koufax has the most amazing story, you know. Not pitching in the playoffs so he could go to services…." She rambled.

"Rory! I am not in school! I want to spend time with my girlfriend."

Rory sighed.

"Let's go pick out a movie?"

"Alright."

(Movie Store- Rory, Dean, Luke)

Rory and Dean rummaged through the shelves of the movie store.

"Ooh, Dean…" Rory insisted. "What about A League of There Own?"

"I was thinking move Remember the Titans."

"Ooh, Dean! We saw that last week." She whined.

"So, it's good isn't it?"

"Yeah, but lets be new! And adventurous! You know, take a walk on the wild side an rent something different!"

Just then a terror stricken Luke came running through the doors to Rory.

"Luke what is it?" Rory asked.

Luke, who was still panting, managed to spit out, " It's your mom…"

Fear struck Rory's face and she let go of Dean's hand. "What? What about her?"

"She passed out…" he replied calmly.

No! No! This couldn't be happening! She wanted to scream, but her voice- dead. She wanted to run to the hospital but her feet- numb. All she could do was stand their, motionless. It was as if someone had sent a bullet straight into her heart.

"Come on, Rory. Let me drive you to the hospital." Luke said bravely while taking the fragile child into her hands.

"Let me come," Dean insisted.

Rory cleared her throat, "No!"

"What?" he asked.

"No! I said no!"

Luke jumped in, "Listen to her Dean. She doesn't need you, she needs her mother."

And with that the two walked away leaving Dean behind.

The drove fifteen miles in silence until they reached the Hartford Emergency Ward. The hospital was so plain. White-washed walls, grey tile. It was terrible. Rory ran through the hospital doors to the room that said "Lorelai Gilmore." She stared at her mother, the most enthralling person she knew, now lying limply on the hospital cot. Everyone was in the waiting room awaiting any sliver of good news. Sookie, crying and being consoled by Jackson. Grandma, looking blankly across the room, as did Grandpa too. Chris, doing whatever Chris did. Luke, sitting in an immense armchair awaiting any news on his best friend, who had been their for him throught thick and thin. And Jess, running his fingers through his hair, wondering what to do, what to say, how to act… Wait? Why was Jess their?

Rory tuned around and sat against a pillar staring out into space. An unfamiliar yet strangely familiar figure sat down next to her. Tears streamed fastly down Rory's pale while face. She stretched out her helpless, cold hand, and he took it, whispering in her ear as well as he could, "I'm here for you."

She did not speak but kept her hand tightly engrossed around his. Jess longed to say something to comfort her, really. He did. But no fitting words cam to his lips, so he sat their silently, gently stroking her lowered head. It was the best think he could have done for her. She lifted her hand his and, putting all animosity aside, lowered her arms around his shoulders and hugged him tightly. It was all she could do. No eloquent words, just a simple hug. He had come through for her and that was the greatest miracle in the world. Not even a silly fight could stop him from being the most compassionate and giving person in the world, which in truth, meant a whole lot more than words could ever express. The only miracle that she needed now was her mother. She needed her mother to come through not only for Rory, but for herself, and all the people around her whos lives she had so deeply touched. She needed her mother to come through more now than ever.
