Rory smirked, grabbed the clipboard and quickly hid it under her chair. As cute as it was that Jess wanted to help, her mom would have to do this one in order to not feel left out.
Jess poked his head back in the door, "I saw that," he smirked and then went to find Lorelai.
Rory laughed and looked around the room and thought about the last time she was here, same arm and everything. She looked up to see her mom, Jess, and Luke walking down the hall.
"Honey!" Lorelai squealed as she ran into the room ahead of the two men and hugged Rory fiercely. "I tried to get here sooner, but the stupid red light and then trying to explain everything to Luke and than those stupid nurses..." she babbled on. Then let go of Rory, "so has a doctor been in yet? Did he say anything? Are you okay?" she paused took a breath, "how is the coffee here?" she asked with a slight smile.
"Breath mom, in-out-in-out" Rory said laughing, "and no, the doctor hasn't come yet, but you need to fill these papers out for nurse Judy out there," Rory said pointing. "And coffee would be good, why don't you go look for coffee."
Lorelai took another breath. "Stupid doctors, spend too much time ordering foreign cars instead of seeing to patients, and nurse Judy? Anything like Judge Judy cause that lady kinda scares me. And coffee..." Lorelai glanced at Luke who was standing just outside the door staring at the floor. "Luke coffee, we need coffee. Fetch Lukey fetch." Lorelai teased knowing Luke needed something to do.
"Ok mom," Rory reached under her chair and grabbed the clipboard, "Here's the paperwork you need to fill out." she said and handed it to her.
"Hiding it from the boogey man?" Lorelai asked as she took a pen and started filling out the papers at record speed.
"Naw, just Jess" Rory said laughing at her mom.
"Hey," Jess said from the doorway. He was leaning against the door jamb unsure of what to do. Luke had gone to go get coffee and after their fight earlier Jess hadn't wanted to go, of course considering the fact that it was highly possible Lorelai might kill him sometime in the very near future he wasn't sure that hanging around was a very good option either. "I told you I would have been more than happy to fill out those papers, but someone apparently doesn't trust me with that task." Jess made a "I'm hurt" face at Rory and then smirked when she gave him that "oh sure" look of hers.
Lorelai turned at the sound of his voice she had forgotten he was still there. "Ooh, so you know what insurance company Rory has and what her insurance account number is?" Lorelai asked him as she read the next to questions from the paper off to him. He shrugged and rolled his eyes. "ha!" Lorelai exclaimed triumphantly as she finished filling out the last form. "So would either of you like to tell me exactly what happened?" Lorelai asked just as the doctor walked in the room.
"Wow, you just took the words right out of my mouth," the doctor said as he walked past Jess and into the exam room. He took the clip board from Lorelai and glanced over what it said for cause of visit. He looked at the way Rory was holding her right arm and gingerly touched it.
"Ow," Rory said, "That hurt." She looked at Jess before deciding to tell the story herself. "Well, its kinda embarrassing, but.... I was following Jess through the diner and then I heard the bang and I turned around real fast and ran towards the store room door, and then I tripped over a box that I didn't see and went flying backwards and I tried to catch myself but I ended up falling on my wrist." Rory said stopping to breath, "And thats what happened, the whole story, so...do need x-rays or something?" she asked the doctor.
"Probably, just to be on the safe side," he said reassuring Rory as he looked at Lorelai, "I pulled your daughter's chart, she hurt this wrist before. So she most likely just aggravated the previous injury, but we should probably x-ray just to be on the safe side."
"All right, is that all?" Rory asked ready to get it over with already.
"Yeah, if you'll follow me I'll take you down to x-ray now." he said as he walked past Jess and waited for Rory in the hall.
"Yikes" Rory whispered and raised her eyebrows at Jess as she walked through the door and into the hall after the doctor.
Jess gave Rory a quizzical look. And smirked. "Have fun." He mumbled to her.
"Right this way, Miss Gilmore," the doctor said as he led Rory down to x- ray.
"Right back at ya." Rory yelled behind her as she laughed at the thought of Jess being alone with her mom, hopefully Luke won't be gone long.
"Smile pretty for the camera," Lorelai called to Rory's retreating back. She then turned her focus to Jess. "So..." she looked at him, contemplating what to do to him. "She tripped?" Lorelai asked him rather harshly.
"Yup," Jess said thinking that at least who could answer that part honestly seeing as how Rory did trip at some point during the night. 'I wish Luke were here' he thought, even though they had argued at least Lorelai would be focused on something else. "So, uh...maybe I should go look for Luke," Jess said trying to find an escape from her unending stare.
Meanwhile in the x-ray room......."Um, I kinda don't remember how to do this. Would you mind explaining it?" Rory asked the doctor.
"It's rather simple Miss Gilmore," the doc said smiling reassuringly, "just place--wait you aren't wearing a watch or jewelry or anything on that arm are you? Because you need to take that off first, then simply place your arm right there and the technician in the back will press a button and take the x-ray."
"Yeah, ok, just let me take my watch off first." Rory said as she began to try and take it off, which as she found out, looked easier than it was. "Um, uh, could you uh, help me with this?" Rory asked blushing slightly.
The doc smiled at Rory and took off her watch for her. "There ya go," he said to her as he motioned into the guy in the other room to get the x-ray machine ready. "Whenever you're ready." he said to her
"Okay, I'm ready now" Rory said as she placed her arm in the machine.
The doc signaled to the tech who flipped a switch and a click could be heard in the x-ray room. "Ok, that's it, you can go back to your room now and I'll bring the x-ray in a few minutes." the doc said as he headed off toward the technician.
As Rory opened the door and began to turned to walk down the hall, she jumped in surprise when she saw Jess standing there. "Hey," Rory said quickly, "What are you doing?"
"Hiding from your mother," he said matter-of-factly. "Well technically I'm supposed to be looking for Luke, but decided to wait for you instead. So..." he looked at her wrist, "any news?"
Rory laughed, "What did she say to you??? And we're waiting for the x-ray to come in.......I'm supposed to go back to my room."
"Oh just the usual, how did this happen...ok, well if you ever come near my daughter again I'll have you castrated." Jess said grimly, although he was teasing about what she had actually said that had seemed to be appropriate for the look Lorelai had given him.
Rory laughed "Well, we wouldn't want that would we?" Rory, catching what she said, immediately regretted it and hoped that Jess wouldn't catch it. She looked up at him to see if he had and started to blush when she saw that he was raising his eyebrows at her.
"No we wouldn't." he chuckled. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, "c'mon I'll walk you back to your room. And if your mom gets all psycho you are going to save me."
"I'm sure you can fend for yourself," Rory said as she rested her head on his shoulder with a million thoughts racing through her head..........He smells SO good...He's really sweet once you get to know him..Mom just needs to get to know him better..I'm really comfortable with him..I really like him, heck, I might even LOVE him....hmm... Rory was pondering this when they arrived at her room.
"We're here." he said as he peered cautiously through the doorway. "This is the room right?" he asked her since it seemed Lorelai and Luke were no where to be found
"Yeah, it is," Rory said as she looked around, "I wonder where they are...maybe mom went to look for Luke,oh well, lets go in and wait for the x-ray results."
Jess nodded and followed Rory into the room. He sat down in a chair and crossed his arms staring at his shoes. "So..." he began suddenly feeling tongue tied..."I just," he looked up at her and then quietly added. "I am really sorry for all this."
She sat down in the chair next to him, "Jess, its okay, I forgive you, really, now can you please forget about it?" Rory asked before leaning in and kissing him on the cheek.
Jess shrugged in a noncommital way and kissed Rory on the lips just as he heard a "ahem" coming from the doorway.
