Thanks for all the positive reviews! They are very encouraging! To Luke'sGirl & Lauren - See, I told you I'd be back soon! Now that I've finally started this story, it's all coming to me in a rush, but I'll try and pace myself! Hope you like the next chapter!

OK relax. I can do that. Relax, oh that reminds me – I should but some scented candles in the Inn's rooms to make the guests more relaxed. No! Stop! I'm supposed to be relaxing! Luke was right; I really need to slow down.

Lorelai took a deep breath. She stopped and looked at the winter wonderland around her. Lorelai slowly smiled to herself.

I love the snow! Luke really was right – how can anything go wrong when everything is so perfect!

With that, she started to walk confidently down the street.

All Your Fault

The next day, Luke was wiping down the counter when he looked up just in time to see Lorelai walking by. Assuming that she was coming in for coffee, Luke started to turn to get a mug. But before he had turn completely around he saw Lorelai disappear under the window. He raised his eyebrows, wondering what crazy thing she was doing now. Then he heard a cry form outside. Luke ran outside to find Lorelai lying on the ground.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm lying here in excruciating pain!" she screamed. That's when Luke noticed that her leg was in a funny angle. "Now would you help me up please!" she demanded.

"Oh man! That looks bad!" Luke said with wide eyes.

"Ya think? Can you please help me up already? The pain is spreading, OW!"

Luke quickly bent over and picked Lorelai up very carefully. She grimaced when her leg moved, and wrapped her arms around Luke's neck.

"OK, I'm taking you to the hospital right now. Caesar!" he yelled. The cook popped his head out of the dinner door. "Take over; I've got to take Lorelai to the hospital. Call Lane if you need help."

"Right boss. Feel better Lorelai!"

Luke quickly carried Lorelai over to his truck and gently placed her in the passenger seat.

"OW! Luke, please be careful. Those bumps hurt!" Lorelai was clutching the seat arm with her leg propped up on the dashboard.

"Sorry." Luke slowed down.

After a few seconds Lorelai said, "Luke, hurry up! My leg is starting to go numb here, and you're driving slower than that grandma who just past us."

Luke sighed as he said, "Lorelai, you just told me to slow down, and now you're telling me to speed up. Decide what you want me to do, and I'll do it."

"Fine drive fast, but be careful around potholes!" Lorelai closed her eyes and leaned her head back. "Luke?"

"Yeah."

"Do you think my leg is broken?"

Luke glanced over at her leg. "Most likely. You're probably going to need a cast for a while."

"I knew it. I knew something bad was going to happen; I could just feel it! And I'll have you know that this is all your fault!"

"What!" Luke looked over at her. "How on earth is it my fault!"

"You were the one who told me to slow down and relax, and that's what I was doing. I was enjoying the snow and the scenery when I slipped."

"That doesn't make it my fault! At the pace you were going, you were likely to wipe out of some ice anyway, and I'm sure those heels of yours didn't help. That's why I told you to slow down in the first place."

"Well a lot of good that did. Uh, what am I going to do now! The Bracebridge dinner is tomorrow, and I'm probably going to be hobbling around on crutches. This is just great!" And Lorelai covered her face with her hands.

"Let's just go to the hospital and see what the doctor says OK? You have an excellent staff and lots of friends to help you out. Things will turn out fine, even if they aren't the way you planned them" Luke turned and smiled at her. Lorelai gave a weak smile in return.

That night, Luke helped Lorelai into the diner with her leg in a cast from ankle to just below the knee.

Lorelai dropped down onto a chair and put her leg up on the one opposite her. "Hey Luke, get me some fries, a burger, and coffee please. I'm exhausted!"

"You know, just because you're hurt doesn't mean you get special treatment or anything." Of course, he said this as he went to fulfill her request.

"The thought never even crossed my mind. How dare you accuse me of using my injury to my advantage! Oh, and get the ketchup while you're up!" Luke gave her a look, and she just smiled back at him. "Besides," she said as she started to eat her fries, "it's your job to take care of me now. After all, it is your fault that I'm on these crutches."

"It is not my fault" Luke replied. "But I'll be happy to help in any way I can." He smiled at her.

Wow! He really does have a great smile. Lorelai smiled back, then looked down at her food as she realized that she had started to blush. And hey, would it be that bad getting to spend more time with Luke? At least I know I'll never get bored with teasing him. Hm, I could use this to my advantage after all!

Lorelai looked back up to see Luke still smiling at her. "Well," she said, "you can start helping by wrapping up this food and driving me home. I feel in the mode for some movies. After all, what's the point of being hurt if you can't eat lots of junk and watch TV?"

Luke shook his head and started to packing up the food.

"And you'll have to stay and watch the movies with me. Rory is staying over at Lane's, and even though she wanted to stay with me, guilty conscience that she has, I insisted that she go. So I'll need someone to get the food out of the kitchen and change the tapes when they're over." She gave him a mischievous smile.

"OK; I need a night off. Just as long we don't have to consume as much as Rory and you normally do. Or watch any of those stupid movies you talk about, like that Wonka factory one."

"Hey, don't make fun of Willie Wonka. The man was brilliant; Rory come up with many of fun concoctions by watching him!"

"Good to know, but I'm still not watching it."

"Fine, I'll come up with something. From what I've seen, you know every little about the classic movies out there. We have to educated me."

Luke rolled his eyes. "God help me."

Lorelai smiled and then said, "Come on lets go! By the time it will take me to get to your truck, we could have watched an entire movie already."

Luke held the door open for her and then followed her out, locking the door behind him.

Well there's the next chapter! I won't be able to update that quickly all the time; today I had off from school. Anyway, hope you liked it. I can't wait for next week's episode! Please R&R!
