"So, you're my mother?" Rory clarified. "Do I have a father?"

"Yes, you do. His name is Christopher. He lives in California, right now. He has a business out there that he's trying to build up."

"Why don't we live with him?"

Lorelai paused. "Oh, well, we're not married." she replied. "We decided it would be best if we just went our separate ways. But he calls at least once a week, and he comes to visit on holidays. He's very proud of you. We both are."

Rory thought this whole story sounded a little strange. Her mother gave to birth to her when she was 16, and her parents didn't get married, they lived in a small town called Stars Hollow, and Rory was supposedly very smart and attended a prep school.

"Is he here?" Rory finally asked, focusing back on the previous question.

"Here at the hospital?" Lorelai asked. "No... Not yet. "I'm going to call him though. He'll be here as soon as he can." Lore smiled.

"Oh. Okay."

"Hey, you'll remember all of this." Lorelai sad squeezing Rory's hand tighter. "You're an amazing kid. You can do anything."

"I'm tired." Rory replied randomly and off subject.

"Tired? Sweetie, you've been asleep for over two months." She joked.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, no, no... That was a joke." Lorelai quickly added. "I was just kidding. Lay down get some rest. I'll go call your dad, and by the time you wake up he'll be here."

Rory snuggled down under the sheets of the hospital bed. "Are you coming back?" she asked as Lorelai stood up from the bed.

"Wild horses couldn't keep me way." Lore grinned. She pulled the sheets up around Rory. "I love you, babe."

Lorelai dimmed the lights over Rory's head and exited the room. When she walked back out into the waiting room, many curious eyes were awaiting her response.

"Everything is okay!" She exclaimed. "She doesn't remember anything, but we'll work through that." Lorelai smiled. "She's alive, she's breathing, she's awake that's all that matters."

"That's wonderful." Emily interjected. "When can I see her?"

"Well, she's resting right now." Lorelai remarked. "In a few hours, I suppose."

"Alright, that gives us time. Come on Richard." Emily tugged on Richard's arm.

"Time for what, mom?" Lorelai asked.

"To go to the gift shop." Emily replied.

"Mom, don't buy anything from the gift shop."

Emily held up her hand. "I'll buy her the whole shop, if I please. I've been waiting for my granddaughter to wake up for two and a half months, and I swore that the moment she did I would buy her anything she desired."

Lorelai half laughed. "She doesn't desire anything you can buy, mom. She needs you."

"Lorelai, I'm going."

"Fine, fine."

Richard stepped over. "Don't worry Lorelai, I won't let her take things too far." They exited.

Lorelai walked over to Sookie, Luke and Jackson. "Hey, guys."

"Hey." they all repeated.

"So, the wait is over." Lorelai sat gleaming. "Things can go back to normal."

"We knew it would happen." Sookie replied.

"Yeah, that girl never gives up." Jackson added.

"Have you called Christopher?" Sookie asked.

"Not yet. I should probably do that now."

"Alright, well, I think I'll head home." Luke stood.

Lorelai stood up with him. "Luke, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Luke replied. "I'm just not a big fan of hospitals."

"Yeah, neither am I, but Rory's awake." she stood there gazing at him.

"I thought you said she was sleeping?"

Lorelai blinked a couple of times. "Well, yeah, she's sleeping now, but she's going to wake up within a few hours. Come on, stay. Don't you want to see her?"

"I'll stop by again tomorrow. It's late, and I'd rather go on home and get some sleep myself."

"Okay." Lorelai shook her head. "Go get some sleep."

"Bye, Lorelai."

"Bye." Luke left.

"Lorelai, he's just tired. He really is happy about Rory." Sookie confirmed.

"Yeah..." Lorelai replied. "Well, I need to call Chris." Lorelai turned around and walked towards the nearest payphone.
