Rory's POV

I woke up on the plane next to Grandma.

It had been two weeks since Mom's first date with Luke. They were still together, and there had not even been any out of the ordinary fights yet. Jason had been calling Mom's cell, home, the Inn, even my cell! He wasn't going to give Mom up without a fight. I hadn't had any calls from him on my cell for a day and a half, now, so I figured he either got a hold of Mom, or he got Luke's number.

Anyway, it was like midnight and I was on the plane with Grandma to Europe. We decided on Paris, first, so that was where we were heading.

"Please fasten you seatbelts as we will be landing at the Paris airport in ten minutes." Is what came on the announcements right then. I woke Grandma.

"Grandma, we're landing soon."

"Oh. Yes, thank you, Rory."

This was the only way to get away from all of my problems right now, so I jumped at the chance.

Hmm... I thought, I wonder what Mom is doing right now...

Stars Hollow

Lorelai's POV

I woke up and looked at the clock. 7:30. I contemplated getting up until I felt Luke's hand around me. I leaned over to him, a little worried, and said, "Luke, honey, having a really great time here and all, but, it's already 7:30. You have a diner to run, remember?"

"Don't worry. While you slept, I went over, opened up, then Lane came and took over. I'm free all day."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Nice."

"So. What do you want to do?" Luke asked a few minutes later.

"I dunno. Surprise me." I answered.

Just then my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Lorelai?"

"Chris?! Why are you calling me at eight o'clock on a Saturday morning?!"

"Lorelai, I... um... something happened. Can you come to Boston General?"

I started to panick, automatically thinking something happened to Rory.

She's in Europe, remember? I thought to myself. She is just fine right now.

"Lorelai, are you still there?"

"Yeah, Chris. What's going on?" I turned to Luke who was sitting up beside me. We were both worried now.

"Just come. It's Sherry and Gigi... there was an... accident."

Boston General Hospital Chris's POV

I waited for what seemed like an eternity for Lorelai to get to the hospital. Waiting rooms are so tense. I was still trying to transmit the whole thing into my mind. In other words, I was in complete shock. Sherry was... dead. I was still trying to realize that it was true, that my Sherry was dead, until Lorelai got to the hospital.

"Oh, Chris, honey, it's gonna be okay. But Chris, forget the whole denial thing. Sherry's gone, sweetie." Lorelai's eyes pleaded with me to get it.

All of a sudden, I found myself in tears in Lorelai's arms. I couldn't stop them. I am supposed to be a man, and here I am crying... in Lor's arms!

I knew then that I was extremely lucky to have Lorelai all these years. She was one woman who would never desert me in a time or situation like this, even if it was because of Sherry that we broke up a couple of years back.

After a half hour or so of Lorelai's consoling, I decided to go see if I was able to see Gigi yet.

Lorelai's POV

Luke had been sitting nearby in the waiting room while I talked to Chris.

When I looked over at him and called him over to me, he wasn't himself. I could tell something was bothering him. Jelousy was in his eyes. I knew that I'd have to explain to him.

When he sat down beside me, I took his hands in mine and kissed him. Then I explained.

"Luke, hon, he's Rory's dad. Like it or not, Gigi is Rory's half sister. I'm not going to neglect you or Rory or my life this time. Over the years, I've definitely realized that when a guy and I get serious, you have always gotten mad. Within months at the latest, you were trying to convince me." I paused hoping for any sign that he was going to lighten up and understand. Yet there was nothing.

"Luke, if Gigi survives this, Chris may need help until he can find and hire a nanny. If he really can't find anyone else to care for Gigi until that point, I'll do it. Now, I can't leave home. I have WAY too much going on right now. I have you, the inn, and the whole Rory, Jess, Dean, and Lindsey fiasco going on. Honey, you know that I love you. I also love Chris, but in a completely different way. He's the father of my child. Yes, I loved him once. Now he's a friend, not a lover. We used to talk on the phone almost every Wednesday. We were pretty close, but not near as close friends today as we were back then, okay?"

Luke hadn't looked up at me since I began.

"Yeah. You're right. I love you, too." I knew he loved me, but he was obviously not sure about the rest.

"Why don't we go outside and take a walk. I think the hospital air is getting to us." He smiled then and took my hand in his and we went out the door.
