About two hours later, Lorelai found herself in the second waiting room that evening. Too shocked to remember what had happened after she had recognized Lukes truck, too scared to care about not remembering. Nothing mattered but Lukes health.
Lukes health! What if… oh god. Stop thinking. If you start thinking you re gonna flip. So don t think ok? Yeah. Fine... He looked pale and didn t open his eyes. At least she didn t see him opening them because her own eyes were filled with tears and she could hardly see anything. Stop remembering! No more thinking and no more remembering Gilmore! Get a grip! Oh god. I saw blood. His blood. Running down his temple. Oh god, oh god please! I swear, if he gets out of this with no damage done, Ill give up coffe! And if thats not enough, Ill cut down my junk food intake too. Ok fine Ill give up junk food too. But we have to discuss what you consider junk food and what not…

One of the nurses had made her call Sookie to tell her where she was and what happened. Lorelai tried , but the nurse had to take over because Lorelai started sobbing and crying so hard that Sookie couldn t understand a word.

Lorelai had started yelling after the nurse told her, that she couldnt say anything about his state yet. They were still operating, there was nothing else to do but waiting…
She gave Lorelai something to calm herself down after Lorelai started blaming herself for everything. "If we hadnt fought…"

The nurse that made her call Sookie reappeared in the door. She had introduced herself as "Jessy, short for Jessica but only my mom calls me that". She wanted to check on Lorelai, if she was ready to fill out the forms for her boyfriend and the other woman. She seemed calmer now.

"Excuse me?" Lorelai broke her gaze and lifted her head to look at the nurse.
"I have some forms here that you need to fill out please. If you want, I can keep you some company, I got a ten minute break now and the questions they ask are a little confusing sometimes, so I figured that you might need some help here…" Lorelai answered with a small nod.
"Okay, can I get you some coffe first? Or maybe some tea?"
"Coffe is fine thanks. No, wait, no coffe…" a sigle tear ran down her cheek. She wiped it away hastily. Wonder Woman, Im Wonder Woman and Im strong and beatiful and Im not gonna lose it!!!
"Have a seet" she said patting the space on the bench next to her.

They filled out his forms and the nurse asked her about the woman.

What woman?

Earlier:

When she reached the truck, she tried to open his door but it wouldnt open. She started to panick when she saw that there was blood running down Lukes temple and ran around the truck to open the other door. She saw that there was a young woman sitting next to him. She tried to open that door but failed as well. Both of the passengers werent moving and both looked like the worst had happened. Lorelai pulled out her cellphone and called 911.

Luke slowly got out of his bed. A knock on his door had woken him up. he walked over to the door and opened it. Lorelai was standing in front of him holding a bottle of champagne and two wineglasses in her hand.

"Hey."

"Grabbed us a little victory champagne, and I thought -- you were asleep."

"Oh, no, no. I was just, uh, doing some bills and things."

"Doing bills?"

"Yeah."

"In the dark?"

"Trying to… conserve."

"So, when you went up earlier, you were going to bed. You go to bed early, which makes sense, because you get up early. And, ugh... now I got it."

"Hey, it's no big deal. Just come on in, we'll, uh..."

"No, I can hold on to this till later."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Good night. "Goes to bed early," I gotta remember that."

"Only on some nights."

"Hey, don't you also hate champagne?"

"Kind of."

"Yeah. I'm learning, I'm learning."

He turned around and closed the door. Staring into the dark of his apartment he remembered: Only a couple of months ago he would have never imagined that things could actually change between them, that he would one day just get over it and ask her out. But he did and now they were a couple and the town knew and Rory knew and she was fine with it.
And Lorelai was so different around him. He had seen her with other guys but she had never looked at them like she looked at him. He knew why. She trusted him and that made him so proud. He, the grumpy diner owner had her. Finally! But somehow he had always known that she would see him someday, that he would ask her out and she would commit to him. They hadnt reached the commitment point yet, he knew that, but he also knew that they would some day. And she knew it too. He had seen it in her eyes when they were lying next to eachother after they had made love for the first time. And he saw it again the next night, after the townmeeting.
"You will never have to leave Stars Hollow, I promise!" she thought when she looked into his eyes afte the rant he held. And she was overwelmed, because she never thought that she of all people would one day feel completely sure about something. And so soon. Was it too soon?… No. Too soon to admit it to eachother yes, but not too soon to feel that way!

He went to his bed to go to sleep again, but when he pulled the covers over himself, he felt lonely. Maybe shes still down there.
Two minutes later he entered his apartment again, Lorelai holding his hand, pulling him inside, then trailing kisses along his jaw. They made their way towards the bed, leaving a path of clothing behind them…

He rolled off her when his breathing slowly began to return back to normal. She snuggled into his side, wrapping one leg around him. He kissed the top of her had, as she did the same to his chest. They fell asleep peacefully, happy because the were going to wake up next to eachother.
Only Lukes dreams were interrupted that night because she was stiring in her sleep. He wraped his arms around her, pulling her close, kissing her forehead softly. She calmed down immediately. A smile formed on her lips as she wispered his name, softly, slowly…
Suddenly the immage of her lying next to him started to fade away and all he saw was a bright light.

"Lorelai Gilmore?"

"Yes?" she jumped up from her chair. A tall Man in a white gown was standing in the door. He was in his fifties and had friendly wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes.

"Im Doctor Smith. You came in with Lucas Danes?"

She nodded.

"Okay. Ive good news for you. We finished operating and he is currently being moved to intensive care. His state is still critical but hes gonna make it."
Relive washed over her as she asked if she could see him. Hope shining in her eyes.

"Im sorry, but not yet. He has to come out from anesthesia first. That will take another two hours. We have some problems with the identification of the woman that was provided with him. Are you sure that you dont know her or someone that could know who she is?"

"No, Ive never seen her before."

"Do you know someone called Mick? The nurse thinks that she said that name before she received the narcosis."

"No, Im sorry"

" Okay thank you. Maybe Mr. Danes knows something. I have to go now. But you shouldnt wait the whole two hours here. I tell you, this place will drive you crazy. If you want, you can go to the cafeteria or take a walk in the park. Its very nice at night."

"Yeah thanks, Ill think about it."

"See you soon Ms. Girlmore and dont worry too much. Hell be fine. Everyone around here is trying their best!"

"I know, thanks" And with that she was alone again.
