Ch. 7 What Now?

Rory looked around the room. Ciara was looking puzzled by her mommy's tears and the quick exit of Granny and Will.

"Mommy, what wrong?"

"Nothing my sweet princess. I need you to play for a while, okay?"

"Ochay mommy!" Ciara replied wondering off into her room.

Rory lifted the phone. She called her boss and told him the situation and he agreed that someone else could right the colomn this week. Then she called Logan. He was crying, to Rory's surprise and he told her he was on his way. Pack their things and they would go and stay the rest of the week. Then since it was merely Tuesday Rory called her doctor and told her. After all the phone calls were made Rory went into Ciara's bedroom to pack her some cloths. As Rory packed Ciara asked a million questions. After Ciara's things were ready she went into her own bedroom and packed everything that Rory and Logan would need. Then she nervously called her Grandma and Grandpa.

"Uh, Hello. Grandma? This is Rory. Yes, yes I am fine. Well yes of course Ciara is fine, and so is Mich, but I have some rather disturbing news. Luke has been in a critical accident. He is in Stars Hallow hospital and he is not doing so well. Yes, grandma I will tell mom you're coming. You can stay with Logan, Ciara, and I at mom's house or you can stay at the inn. Okay well come by before you go and check in. We should be there later. Okay goodbye Grandma."

"Rory, for Christ sakes C'mon!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming. I just talked to Grandma, she is going to meet us at mom's house."

"Okay, well get in so we can go."

When Logan, Rory, and Ciara arrived at Lorelei's house Will was in the front yard playing with his basket ball goal.

"Hey Will, who's here with you?"

"Sooke! She is baking me cookies!"

"Okay well you just keep on playing, we're going inside."

"Okay."

Rory walked in and Sooke was pulling a pan of cookies out of the oven. She looked tired and she also looked sad. Rory understood why she was sad, Luke, someone she had known for years and years and was married to her best friend was in critical condition.

"Hey Sooke, how's mom?"

"Well I only saw her long enough for her to grab some clothes and a tooth brush, but she's not so good."

"Well, we didn't tell her we were coming, but we're just gonna stay in my old room."

"Sounds good. She told me that if I needed her call."

"Well, if you'll watch Ciara, when we get finished bringing everything in and ecetera we'll go see her."

"Sure, where is my little angel?"

"Outside playing with Will and maybe Logan, who knows!"

"Okay well yall go ahead I'll give them there cookies and convince them to take a nap."

"Well goodluck, Logan is hollering for me to come on!"

"okay tell Lorelei I'm praying for them."

"Sure thing Sooke, thanks a ton!"
