Chapter 17: (4 and a half months old) sick and tired

"Hey, do you feel better?" Luke asked when he entered the bedroom. Lorelai was lying on the bed, her eyes closed. She just groaned in response. Since yesterday evening she felt sick and had a headache. She threw up several times during the night and Luke ordered her to stay home. Lying in the dark on the bed had helped her a bit, she was not throwing up anymore. She was just tired but she knew that Will needed to be fed. So she sat up and lifted her shirt before she took Will from Luke and positioned him on her breast.

"Do you need anything? Something to drink, some food?" Luke asked her as he stood next to the bed.

"Ugh, don´t mention food! But a glass of water would be nice" she told him and he walked downstairs and got the water for her. He placed it on the night-stand and then sat down on the bed,waiting for her to finish feeding Will. After some minutes the baby was satisfied and she handed him to Luke and slid down on the bed again, closing her eyes.

"God, Lorelai, you look horrible! You´re sure you don´t wanna go and see a doctor?" Luke asked her and caressed her cheek with one hand while holding his son with the other.

"It´s just some virus Luke, it will be over soon. And I can´t take any medication ´cause I´m still nursing Will, so it won´t change anything. But you could call Rory and tell her that we cant have dinner with her and Logan tonight."

"Yeah, sure I´ll do that. And you sleep. Do you have fever?"

"No. You look after Will?" she asked

"Sure" he said before he kissed her cheek and walked over to Wills nursery.

"Let´s change your diaper son and then we gonna call your sister." he told him when he lay him down on the changing table.

"Shhh, Will don´t cry. You mom needs to sleep, she´s not feeling very well."He handed him an rattle and Will took it, waving wildly around with it. When Luke was done, he took will and walked downstairs in the living room and called Rory.

"Hi Mom!" Rory answered the phone.

"Um, actually it´s me, Luke"

"Oh, I saw the ID and I though it would be mom. What´s up?"

"Lorelai is sick and we need to cancel the dinner."

"What´s wrong with her?"

"Maybe some virus, I don´t know. She has a headache and she´s throwing up. I hope she´s asleep now." Luke explained.

"Is grandma looking after Will?"

"No, I took him to the diner with m, then I came back because he needed to be fed, but I won´t go back. I took the rest of the day off so that I can look after her."

"Mmmh, fine. Otherwise grandma would have been happy to look after him. They talk about nothing but the weekend he spend with them."

"I know, believe me, I know" Luke said and rolled his eyes.

"Have you seen the picture of grandpa dancing on front of Will?" Rory laughed.

"Yes, your mother put a copy on Wills picture wall. This vest is really... " Luke shook his head.

"I still can´t believe that grandpa did this."

"Well, your grandparents are strange people. But other topic: When should we have dinner then?" Luke asked.

"I have to talk with Logan first, but I think maybe in four weeks?"

"Four weeks? I don´t think your mother will be sick that long!"

"Of course not, but at first I have some exams and then Logan invited me to go skiing, so that I will be able to do it on Christmas. We just take a week off from Yale and then he will teach me."

"Taking some days off? Skiing on Christmas? So you won´t be here on Christmas?"

"No, I won´t" Rory said

"Does Lorelai know about that?"

"No, I had no time to tell her. But I will do it when we come for dinner."

"Ror, you know that she will be devastated. I mean, what are you thinking? You always celebrated Christmas with her. Even last year."

"Luke I don´t want to argue about this. I always celebrated Christmas with her, but this year Logan asked me and I said yes, because I really want to. It will be fun. And mom won´t be alone. She has you, Will and grandma and grandpa. Not to speak of the people in Stars Hollow."

"That´s not the same, Rory. But you go and tell her and see how she will react. But I want you to know that I´m not okay with it."

"I need to go Luke. I hope mum will feel better soon! See you in four weeks" Rory said and the line went dead. She had hung up.

For a moment Luke stared at the phone in disbelieve. But then Will tried to grab the phone, but it was too big for his little hand. Luke smiled and offered Will his finger,which he accepted. He let him play with it for some moments, before he took him and placed him, that he was standing in his lap. William looked at his father with huge eyes, waiting what would come.

"Can you tell me what´s wrong with your sister? Has she lost her mind? Your mommy will be very sad when she hears this. Maybe you need to talk with your sister. Can you do that? No of course you cant!" Luke said and placed a kiss on Williams cheek.

William made some sounds as if he was trying to answer and Luke had to laugh.

"Yes, you will tell her that!" he said and then placed the boy on his shoulder and hugged him, while he placed several kisses on his head.

"What do you think, why don´t we go for walk and let your mommy sleep?" Luke said, stood up and placed Will in his stroller, which stood in the entrance area.

A week later:

"Hello Lorelai, this is your mother. Luke told us that you are still sick but working again. I tried to catch you at the Inn, but whether you really weren´t there or you just gave Michel orders that you won´t speak with me. I´m really concerned, please go and visit a doctor, Luke said you still didn´t do that. I expect you back at Friday night dinner when you feel better."

Lorelai shut her cellphone after she checked her mailbox and threw it on her desk. Why couldn´t they just leave her alone. Everybody told her what was best for her: Luke, Rory, Sookie, her mother, Babette, Miss Patty, even Kirk gave her the advice to visit a doctor before he would catch that virus, too. She felt nausea again and quickly went to the bathroom where she threw up one more time, that afternoon. Afterwards she refreshed herself and then went over to Lukes diner. When she entered he stood behind the counter.

"Where is Will?" she asked him without greeting him.

"Upstairs, he´s asleep" Luke said and looked at her questioningly. He knew that she was angry about something.

"I need to talk to you! Now!" she said and hurried up the stairs to his former apartment.

Here we go´ he thought and followed her.

She began the second he had shut the door.

"What on earth are you thinking? Why are you running around telling people that I´m sooo sick and I need to see a doctor? " she asked upset.

"I m not running around telling people that they should talk to you. But when they ask me how you are I tell them that you are sick, ´cause it´s the truth" he answered.

"I am not sick!" she stated.

"No? What are you then? Is it normal for you that you´re throwing up several times a day for over a week now. I dont think so!"

" I know when I´m sick and at the moment I am not! You cant tell me , no one can tell me if I´m sick or not, ´cause I know it." she yelled.

" Stop yelling you will wake up Will! And I don´t know who you are trying to fool, maybe yourself, but I just know that you are not fine. " He said to her and walked over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"I´m worried Lorelai. I´m really really worried. Maybe you are right and it´s nothing just some problem with your stomach or something. But you need to see a doctor. Please Lorelai, promise me that you will make an appointment today. I already lost my parents and both of them were pretending it was nothing and when they went to a doctor it was too late. Please promise you will go!" Luke begged her. She saw the concern, the fear and the sadness in his eyes.

"I promise!" she whispered and hugged him, lying her head in the crook of his neck. They stood there for a few seconds before she untangled herself from him and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door shut, what woke up William. Luke picked him up and tried to soothe him while he heard vomiting sounds out of the bathroom.

2 days later:

"Well Mrs. Danes we have the results now..." the doctor began and Lorelai fidgeted on her chair. The vomiting was still a problem and she had lost a lot of weight in that short time. She felt tired and exhausted even if she just stood up and it became more and more difficult for her to nurse William, because it hurt her.

So she sat on that chair, fidgeting with her hands while the doctor told her what was wrong with her. When she heard the diagnosis for the first time she thought she heard wrong.

"What?" she asked looking up from her hands. But when the result was repeated her eyes opened in shock and she had the feeling she couldn´t breathe anymore. The first thing that came to her mind was Luke, Rory and her parents.

"No!" she chocked out and didn´t even realise that she dig her fingernails into her own thighs.
