And I just started the sequel. Yes there is gonna be a sequel. Oh and I wanted to add that the title of this chapter really has nothing to do with the story, but it's the title of the Panic!

Chapter 18- A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

February went by fast, and before they knew it, it was March. The snow had all melted, and it was starting to warm up.

Lorelai was lying in bed thinking about getting up, but not really wanting to do it, when Rory started to cry.

She got up and went to comfort the crying baby. "Shh hey what wrong? Wow, you sure feel hot." She felt Rory's forehead. "Rory, are you sick?" Rory didn't answer. "duh" Lorelai thought to herself. "Maybe you have a fever"

She got dressed and ran Rory into the Inn. "Mia! Mia" Oh there you are!" She said almost running into Mia.

"Lorelai, sweetie what's wrong?"

"Do- you- have- a- thermometer" She said panting "I think Rory is sick"

"Oh no! I think I have a thermometer here somewhere… Here it is!"

She passed it over to Lorelai.

"Thank you so much" she sat down on the chair at the front desk, holding Rory on her lap. She stuck the thermometer under Rory's armpit, and waited.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Rory was still crying. Lorelai pulled the thermometer out and read it.

"Oh my God! It's at 103 degrees F!"

"You have to get that girl to a hospital, now!" Mia yelled at her "Come on, I'll drive"

They ran into Mia's car and drove to the hospital. Rory had finally fallen asleep. They got there and rushed inside. The doctor took Rory from Lorelai. Lorelai waited. It all happened so fast. It seemed lick she was waiting forever. Mia had to get back to the Inn, but she said that she would send Luke to the hospital. Luke wasn't there yet though. She waited and waited.

"Lorelai!" she heard Luke call.

"Luke there you are!" she ran over to him. Tears started to fall down her cheeks. She didn't try to hold them back any longer. She buried her face into his chest. "My- my baby"

"Shh, Lorelai. It will be alright. Rory will be fine" he comforted.

"103"

"What?"

"Here temperature was 103! What if she's not ok? What did I do wrong? I'm a bad mother!"

"Lorelai stop that! You are not a bad mother! You're are a great mom and you didn't do anything wrong. Kids just get sick sometimes. It happens ok. Rory is going to be fine"

"Thank you" she whispered.

Luke smiled. "You're welcome"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory's fever started to go down a little bit, but the doctor wanted to keep her overnight, just to make sure everything was ok. Luke took as Lorelai home. It was pretty quiet most of the way.

"Luke, I miss my baby" she said quietly.

He put his arm around her (he was driving on the highway so he only really needed one hand) She started to cry again.

"Do you wanna spend the night at my place?" he asked her.

She just nodded. He went home and told his dad what was going on. William was concerned about Rory and didn't care that Lorelai was staying over. She didn't talk much, just went straight to bed. Luke climbed into the bed next to her and at first she was surprised, but then she was relived. She really didn't want to spend to night alone. She moved closer to him. He marvelled at how perfectly… right this felt. How much he loved her, how much he wanted to protect her and how much he hated that she was upset was upset right now.

"I love you" he whispered to her.

She was amazed at how right those words always sounded. Like he meant it. And she knew that he did. He did love her, and she loved him. She knew he would always protect her, and she felt very… safe.

"I love you too" she whispered, and she really meant it. She loved him more than anything, except Rory. She loved him more then chocolate, more than cake, Hell! She loved him more than coffee! And that was saying something! She knew he'd always be there for her, no matter what.
