Hey everyone! Long time no write, I know. I had the end of this fic summarized in my notebook, but never got around to typing the chapters until today. I really hope you like it. I'm hoping to have 20 chapters, but you never know what will happen. Anyhoo, I hope you like it. Also, I'm really sorry about the delay in updating.

Different Plans

They reached the hospital and Eitan was admitted into the ER. Jess and Rory got blankets, and Jess got stitches. Everyone was sitting in the waiting room, worried about Eitan. Finally the doctor came and talked to Rory.

"Ms. Gilmore?" He said.

"Yes?" Rory replied getting up. Jess joined her and held her hand.

"I'm Dr. Alston, I examined your son. Could we talk in my office?" He asked Rory.

"Yes." Rory replied and her Jess followed him.

The doctor noticed Jess only when he sat down in the chair in his office to talk to Rory. He looked up, a bit startled and confused.

"And who is this?" Dr. Alston asked gesturing to Jess.

"I'm Eitan's father. Jess Mariano." Jess told him, then shook his hand.

"Oh good. Well, the reason I wanted to speak to you is that, I'm not sure if you are aware but, your son is in need of a blood transfusion. Now, your son has a rare blood type. It is very hard to find donors with the same blood type, we usually ask a family member to donate." Dr. Alston informed them.

"Yes. That's what the doctor in New York told me." Rory told him.

"Ah yes, I read in his file that he had a similar attack about a month ago." He said.

"Yes, and I didn't have a donor for a blood transfusion. The doctor gave me some Zanfas to give Eitan if he got sick. He said it was only temporary, and I needed to get in touch with a family member with the same blood type as Eitan's." Rory said.

"I see. Now, have you found a relative with the same blood type as you son's?" The doctor asked Rory.

"Yes." Rory said looking at Jess.

Jess realizes Rory is looking at him and turns in shock. "Me?" He says pointing at himself.

Rory nods, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Okay, where do I go to give blood?" Jess asked.

"I'll get nurse Jennings to take you now." Dr. Alston said picking up his phone.

Rory smiled. Jess returned the smile and squeezed her hand.

"Okay Jess, here's Nurse Jennings. She's gonna take you upstairs and get you ready." He said.

Jess stood up beside Rory, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and followed the nurse out the door.

Rory returned to the waiting room to tell the good news.

"How's he doing?" Lorelai asked.

"He needs a blood transfusion." She paused. "So, Jess is donating some blood right now." She said with a smile.

"Oh, honey that's great." Lorelai said with a smile.

"We were so scared." Luke said as he and Lorelai hugged her.

"Yeah, I was too. But all that he has to do is get a transfusion. And stay I nt he hospital for two weeks for recovery and observation." Rory said, her voice filled with obvious relief.

"Well now that we know everyone's okay, I'm going to go and check on the kids." Luke said. "Do you want me to get you some more clothes?" Luke asked.

"Yeah that would be great. Maybe you get some clothes for Jess too?" Rory asked.

"Okay. I'll be back soon." Luke said then he gave Lorelai a kiss and headed down the elevator shaft.

Moments later Jess appeared in the waiting room with his sleeve pushed up, a band-aid on his arm, and on his head.

"Hey." He said. "Where's Luke?" Jess asked.

"He went to go check on Bernie and Will, and get us some clothes." Rory told him. "So, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine. They just drew a little blood, it's no big deal." Jess replied.

"No, I meant your head. I got so caught up in the whole Eitan thing I forgot to ask about you." Rory told him.

"Well, Eitan's more important. You should be worrying about him." Jess told her. "And Anyways, I'm perfectly fine."

"Okay, well you take it easy." Rory said, concerned.

A few hours later Dr. Alston came to the waiting room again.

"Well, the transfusion was a success. Eitan's in recovery right now, you can go and visit him if you would like." He told the group.

"Oh yes. Thank you doctor." Lorelai said to him.

"Which room?" Rory asked.

"Room 218." Dr. Alston told them.

The four adults headed down the hallway, and into Eitan's room.

"Maybe we should leave you two alone for a little while." Lorelai said. "Come on Luke."

Rory and Jess watched as Luke and Lorelai exited the door, and then turned to each other.

"I'm scared." Rory told him. "Look at him" Rory said, pointing to her son. "I have to stay with him." She paused. "Will you stay too?"

"Of course I will." Jess told her and pulled her into his arms. "They'll have to drag me out of this room."

Rory's laugh was smothered by Jess' chest. "Thank you."

Thanks for bearing with me. I think I'm a little rusty or maybe it was just a really hard chapter to write.

Up next: Jess has gotten to know his son, what will this mean for him and Rory?

So I hope you enjoyed it. I will not wait forever to update again. Please review!
