Chapter 7
When they got to the hospital, they quickly rushed Lorelai into surgery, so they could fix her broken leg. Trunks and his parents weren't allowed to go with her, so they stayed in the waiting room. Trunks couldn't stand being in that room, he wanted to be with Lorelai. He wanted to know that she was going to be ok.
"Son I know that you're worried, but you need to calm down" said Vegeta placing his hand on Trunks shoulder.
"I know dad, but I just need to know if she's going to be alright" said Trunks still pacing the room.
"Is there anybody that we can contact?" asked Bulma.
"No, her parents died three years ago in a car accident" said Trunks stopping to look at his mother. "She does have a brother, but he's 9 and is over Lorelai's neighbors' house. I didn't get to ask Lorelai about her phone number."
"Well, were just going to have to wait till she comes out of surgery" said Bulma. "She'll be fine sweetheart, don't worry."
"Thanks mom" said Trunks giving her a hug. He finally stopped pacing the room, and sat down.
After what seem like forever, the doctor finally came into the waiting room, where everyone was. Trunks turned his head, and quickly got up to talk to him.
"Are you Trunks Briefs?" asked the doctor.
"Yes, I am" said Trunks. "Is Lorelai ok?"
"Yes, she's doing fine" said the doctor smiling. "She just came out of surgery, and is in the recovery room."
"Can I go see her?" asked Trunks.
"Yes of course" said the doctor. "She's asking for you anyway." Trunks followed the doctor out of the waiting room, and towards the recovery rooms.
"Here we are" said the doctor finally stopping at her door. "She still might be drowsy from the anesthetic."
"Thank you so much doctor" said Trunks shaking his hand.
"If you need anything just ask" said the doctor as he walked away. Trunks walked into Lorelai's room and sat down on the chair that was next to her bed. Lorelai turned to look at Trunks and just smiled.
"Hey sweetheart" said Trunks giving her a kiss. "How ya feeling?"
"Better" said Lorelai. "Most of the pain is gone, but some is still there. They gave me medicine to make the pain go away."
"That's good" said Trunks smiling. "I was really worried about you. You should have seen me; my parents were trying to get me to calm down."
"Your parents are here?" said Lorelai confused.
"Yeah while the paramedics were fixing your leg, they arrived and followed the ambulance to the hospital" said Trunks squeezing her hand softly.
"I didn't even notice" said Lorelai yawning. "I need to get in contact with my brother. He's probably worried why I haven't come back yet. What time is it?"
"It's 7 in the morning" said Trunks. "Let me have your neighbors' phone number. I'll call her and let her know what happened. You just get some rest, and let me handle everything."
"Ok Trunks" said Lorelai. She gave him the phone number to her neighbors' house before she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. Trunks kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. Trunks asked to use the phone at the desk. He called Lorelai's neighbor and told her everything that happened. She said that she would be down with Hiroshi as quick as she could. Trunks told her where they were before hanging up the phone.
An hour later, Trunks saw a young lady with a young boy come into the hospital. He walked over to them.
"Hi are you Ms. Soto?" asked Trunks.
"Yes I am" said Ms. Soto.
"Hi I'm Trunks, Lorelai's boyfriend" said Trunks shaking her hand.
"Is my sister ok" said Hiroshi speaking up.
"She's going to be fine" said Trunks smiling. "Do you want to see her?"
"Yes" said Hiroshi shyly.
"Well alright then follow me" said Trunks. He knelt down and opened his arms for Hiroshi to climb up. At first Hiroshi was to shy to do anything, but then he realized that this was his sister's boyfriend and he like him. So he ran into Trunks arms. Then Trunks picked up Hiroshi and walked to Lorelai's room, with Ms. Soto following them. When Trunks got to her room, he knocked on the door, and then walked in.
"You got some company" said Trunks smiling.
"LORE" shouted Hiroshi as he jumped out of Trunks arms and ran over to her bed.
"Hey Hiroshi" said Lorelai picking him up and putting him right by her.
"Are you ok LORE?" asked Hiroshi still hugging her.
"Yeah I'm ok, just a broken leg and some bruises" said Lorelai smiling.
"All those poor people" said Ms. Soto sadly. "How many were on the bus?"
"About 30 including me and Lorelai" said Trunks looking at her.
"Well I'll leave Hiroshi with you" said Ms. Soto. "I know he's not going to want to leave your side now. You get better and I'll see you soon."
"Ok, thanks for watching him Maggie" said Lorelai giving her a hug.
"Anytime" said Ms. Soto. "You have a nice boyfriend to take care of you now."
"Yes I do" said Lorelai as she smiled. She watched as Ms. Soto left and closed the door.
"Hey Lorelai how come Hiroshi calls you LORE?" asked Trunks.
"Oh" said Lorelai laughing. "When he started talking he would always call me LORE instead of Lorelai, so it stuck. He's they only one who calls me that. So Hiroshi what do you think of Trunks?"
"I like him" said Hiroshi smiling. "He carried me in here to see you."
"I saw that" said Lorelai smiling at Trunks.
"Um…. I've been wanting to ask you something Lorelai" said Trunks.
"What is it Trunks?" asked Lorelai.
"Well I wanted to know, do you want to move in with me and my parents?" asked Trunks. "I mean you won't be able to do a lot of things until your cast comes off, and you could be around my family instead of living by yourself with Hiroshi."
"I don't know Trunks" said Lorelai. "What do you think Hiroshi?"
"Do you have anybody for me to play with?" asked Hiroshi.
"I sure do" said Trunks smiling. "I have a sister that's about your age. She'd be happy to have someone to play with."
"Ok" said Hiroshi looking at Lorelai. "Let's do it LORE."
"You sure it's going to be ok with your parents?" asked Lorelai.
"I'm sure they'd be happy for you and Hiroshi to move in" said Trunks. "We have plenty of room."
"Alright then" said Lorelai smiling. "Let's do it." Hiroshi jumped for joy while Trunks and Lorelai laughed. It was good to laugh after everything that happened to them.
