Ch. 5
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls if I did I'd be rich and not writing fanfiction. Luke's thought are in italics. Thanks to allthe reviewers.
Emily and Richard stood talking quietly to themselves as Rory came walking down the hall. 'Grandma, Grandpa,' she yelled as she flew into their arms.
'I'm so glad you're here. Did you see Luke?' Richard glanced at Emily with a solemn look,
'I think he needed some air. How's Lorelai?'
Rory sighed, 'The doctor came back right after Luke left with her latest lab reports. At first the they thought she may need surgery because they found blood in her urine. Now they think her kidney is just bruised, but they want to keep her overnight just as a precaution. The doctor said as soon as she wakes up again they're going to move her to a private room, depending on how coherent she is.'
Everyone sighed and smile slightly. They were all very worried, but no one really knew what had happened to her.
Just then Dean's mom came through the doors, 'Dean. Are you alright?' she carefully hugged him and kissed his cheek.
'I'm okay, mom. No big deal.'
Dean turned to Rory, 'I'm going to get out off here.'
As he stepped to leave Rory spoke up, 'Wait, why were you here? You were hurt too, what happened? I was going to ask Luke,' she looked around the waiting area, 'but she trailed off shrugging.
Dean smiled slightly, 'Uh well there was a car speeding down the street. Lorelai didn't see it and almost got hit. I kinda, uh, pushed her out of the way and I guess with my momentum Iwas going at she took the brunt of the me crashing into her.'
No one said a word until Logan spoke up, 'Wait a minute you ran in front of a speeding car to save Lorelai from getting hit.'
Dean looked down humbly, 'Uh yeah… I guess.'
Richard stepped up to Dean, 'You risked your life to save me daughter. Without so much as a thought to your own well being.' He stuck out his hand, 'Thank you Dean.'
Emily chimed in,
Yes thank you Dean,'
'I misjudged you and I'm a man that can admit when I've made a mistake. My apologies to you.'
Dean took his hand, 'No apologies necessary, I did what anyone would have done. Now I should get going. Goodnight.' He took one last look at Rory and walked out with his mom.
Rory was stunned, 'Wow, this is wow. I can't believe that with everything we've been through he'd do something like this without one thought towards his own well being.'
She looked at Logan. ' I feel like I owe him or something. I mean he saved my mother's life. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay him for that.'
Emily kept staring at the double doors wondering where in the world Luke was.
'Rory, did they say when we could see Lorelai.'
Rory looked up, 'Oh I'm sorry Grandma. You can probably go into the I.C.U. now. Emily and Richard headed up to see Lorelai.
Sookie and Jackson stood up as well, 'Hey popcorn. How are you holding up?'
'Sookie, oh my god, I didn't even see you guys there.' She hugged them and turned to Logan, 'This is Logan. Logan, these are two of my mom's best friends, Sookie and Jackson Melville.'
Logan nodded at Sookie and shook Jackson's hand. 'Pleasure to meet you both.'
'So popcorn you okay.'
'I'll be alright, I'm just gonna wait her til Luke comes back and they move my mom to a private room. I feel like I should be doing something.' She said as she stood up and started pacing back and forth.
'Oh honey don't get yourself all worked up. I'm sure your mom's gonna be just fine. They just want to observe her overnight. As a precaution.'
'I can't lose her Sookie'
'Oh kitten as stubborn as your mom is, you know she's never let that happen'. Sookie pulled Rory into another hug.
'Kitten sit down, here and I'll get you a cup of coffee, okay.'
'No Sookie don't go.' Rory said grasping onto her hand.
'I'll go. Sookie, Jackson would you like anything.' They both said no to Logan, then he was off on a coffee hunt.
