Thank you so much for all the reviews, wow. I think one more and my email account would have dropped dead of exhaustion!
I give in ( you were begging) and post the next chapter, I finished until chapter 22 last night. I always have the next one ready before I post another one, which means, it´s already written what will happen before you get to read the other one. I´m looking forward to your reviews!
And those who are waiting for drama... just wait it´s heading there!
Chapter 18: Tell me
"No, William this is nothing to eat!" Lorelai said and took her cellphone away from Will. He had started to put everything he found into his mouth, no matter what it was.
Lorelai was feeling better because of the medicaments the doctor had given to her. Luke had been questioning her for over a week what the doctor had said, but she had told him it was just some virus. And again she was sure that he knew she was lying, but she coulnd´t tell him the truth. Their whole plan would be destroyed and their life would be a chaos.
William was lying on the floor in their bedroom while Lorelai got dressed for the Inn. He lay on his stomach, playing with the toys which surrounded him.
When she was done she picked him up and hugged him, tried to savour the moment. The she walked downstairs and placed him in his car-seat and headed over to the Inn.
"Hello this is Luke Danes, could I speak with doctor Grey? Thank you" Luke said and waited while he sat in the storage-room.
"Doctor Grey, hello?" a female voice answered.
"Hello, my name is Luke Danes, I´m the husband of Lorelai Danes." Luke started.
"Oh, didn´t the medicine help her? I told her to stop by once again if it didn´t help."
"No, they helped, its not about this" Luke said, and wanted to go on when she interrupted him once again.
"Then you decided about the operation. Does she really want to do it?" Now Luke was confused.
"Which operation? She told me she had a virus, but I dont believe her and now I called and hoped that maybe you would tell me what is wrong with her."
"Oh, uhm, Im sorry I already said too much. I can´t tell you anything. I just can advice you that you need to talk to her and decide what to do. As fast as possible, or we can´t do anything anymore. She was really devastated when she left me."
"Um, okay, Thank you" Luke said in shock. He had been right, it was something serious. He needed to talk with her, now. So he stormed out of the diner and ran over to the Inn.
When he arrived there he saw Sookie standing outside with a furiously crying Will in her arms. He took him from her nd tried to soothe him, while Sookie told him in panic.
"I tried the last minutes to call you, but it was always occupied. She just stood there in the kitchen and suddenly lay Will on the table and then she fainted. She just fell down. Will started to cry and she hit her head on a chair. We tried to wake her up and just when Michel wanted to call the ambulance she woke up and ... and told us not to call them. She told me to look after Will and ordered Michel to drive her home. And she told me not to call you, but I just couldn´t. He wouldn´t stop crying and your her husband and..and.." Sookie burst out into tears.
Luke was even more panicked now than when he had arrived. With Will on his arms he walked home and wished he would have taken the car to come to the Inn.
When he arrived at home Will had stopped crying and just looked at him.
Luke walked upstairs into their bedroom and saw Lorelai lying on the bed, asleep.
He decided to let her sleep, no matter how hard it was for him and walked over to the nursery.
He lay William on the huge patchwork blanket the town women had made for him and sat next to him on the floor. He handed him his Tweety-ring and William stuck it in his mouth and laughed.
He played with his son for two hours, until he was tired and needed a new diaper, but Lukes thoughts were all about Lorelai and what she might tell him.
After Will was asleep in his crib walked over to the bedroom, Lorelai was lying on the bed, crying silently. Her sobs were muffled because of the pillow she buried her head in.
He walked over to her and sat down on the bed and reached out to rub her back. When he touched her, she was so surprised that she nearly fell off the bed.
Before she looked at him she tried to wipe away the tears and then faced him.
He din´t need to say a thing, she could see the question in his eyes. He knew she was lying and he wanted to truth.
"Luke..." she started, but then she was overwhelmed by her emotions and threw herself into his arms.
His expression was blank, he just lay there on the bed, holding her and rubbing her back, while his imagination went wild.
They lay on the bed like that for several minutes until she was able to speak again. She sat up and looked down on him, tears still glistening in her eyes.
"Im so sorry Luke. I can´t tell you how sorry I am. I ruined everything, our plan, our whole plan. It´s worthless now. I´m just... I´m sorry. I understand it if you´re not able to go through this with me. It´s my fault, it´s all my fault..." she started to cry again.
"Lorelai what´s wrong with you? What is it? Just tell me!" Luke said and pulled her down again, so that she was lying on top of him.
"I know it´s too much. With the diner and Will. I thought about the...the...operation...but I dont know if I can do that."
"Why not Lorelai?" Luke asked
"Why not? You mean, you want that?" she said and looked up.
"If it helps you, of course." Luke stated.
"Help me? " she said shocked.
"Lorelai I love you and I want to to be fine again."
"I love you, too. But I can´t handle it, it´s too much. I don´t know what to do, Luke. I don´t know what to do." she sobbed.
"Lorelai please tell me what it is. What´s the diagnosis? I need to know!"
She took a deep breath and untangled herself from him.
"I don´t know how to tell you, and that just before Christmas. I´m just so sorry. Please don´t hate me!" she said.
"Just tell me!" Luke pressed and prepared himself for the worst. She stood up and paced beside the bed for a moment. Then she stood still and looked at him.
