Lorelai and Rory drove back to the Inn. they let themselves in Gracie's room. Gracie was lying down on the bed watching TV. Luke was laying doen on the couch He glanced over at Gracie every once and awhile to make sure that she was okay.

"Gracie, are you okay?" Rory asked.

"Ya I'm fine. Luke and Lorelai have been helping me a lot!" Gracie said. It took a lot of strength to say that. She was feeling really crummy and weak. She didn't want Luke, Lorelai or Rory to know. She didn't want to get them anymore worried then they already were.

Even though Gracie was doing a good job at covering up how she really felt, Lorelai could tell that she was faking it. You could say that it was a "mom thing". Luke could tell something was wrong but he didn't know what it was. As for Rory, she knew Gracie like she would if they were sisters. She could tell something was going on but she was to worried to make anything out of it.

Luke made Gracie some soup. She took a spoonful then had to run to the bathroom because the soup wasn't sitting well in her stomach. Lorelai walked in and held her hair back. Lorelai started to stroke her back.

"Maybe I should stick to popsicles," Gracie said as she finished vomitting. Lorelai just smiled at this comment.

Gracie turned around Rory was already standing there with a glass of water. Gracie rinsed out her mouth then walked back over to the couch. She tucked herself in. She turned over and watched the TV for a little bit. As she was watching TV she fell asleep. Lorelai, Luke and Rory stayed with Gracie. Never wanting to leave just incase something happened.

Gracie started tossing and turning about a half an hour after she fell asleep. Lorelai moved onto the bed with her and started rubbing her back. After about 5 minutes of Lorelai being there she settled down.

Lorelai and Luke walked into the hallway as Rory watched Gracie.

"Thanks for coming Luke," Lorelai said as Luke closed the door.

"It's no problem."

"No really. You had to leave work and come here. It means a lot to me ... and Gracie."

"Anytime... you want to go get coffee or something. It has been a busy day."

"Sure. Let's go."

Lorelai and Luke walk to the diner. When they get in Lorelai sits on a stool behind the counter and Luke goes behind the counter to get her coffee.

"I think you should get the new coffee makers that they have out. All you have to do is press the on button and it makes the coffee. And none of the filters or any other do-thingys that you have can get jammed. And it makes the coffee really fast," Lorelai said to Luke.

"My coffee makers are just fine."

"No they're not. They're always something jammed or broken and it takes a long time for the cofee to be made."

"No. My coffee makes make coffee just fine. The new coffee makers are probably really expensive."

"Have I mentioned that it makes the coffee really really fast!"

"Okay. I'm going back to Gracie now. Are you coming?"

"Yes, I'm coming. But don't think that this conversation is over because it's not."

"Okay Lorelai. Now just keep walking."

"Fine!"

Lorelai and Luke walked towards the Inn. They were almost at the Inn when Lorelai noticed that they were holding hands. She panicked for a second then relaxed. Maybe Luke didn't know. She wasn't going to move because she liked it. But the second that Luke realized that they were holding hands she'd let go.

Luke realized that they were holding hands a long time before Lorelai noticed. He didn't want to move either. They walked hand in hand until they got to Gracie's room. Lorelai opened the door and found Rory sleeping on the couch. Lorelai woke her up so she could go home and finish her homework.

Gracie woke up about 15 minutes later. She was feeling worse. She didn't have to vomit or anything but she felt sicker. She sat up and looked over at the chair where Lorelai was sitting and watching TV. Lorelai turned around and smiled at her. Luke walked out of the bathroom. He saw Gracie was awake and smiled.

Lorelai went and layed down on one side of Gracie. She stroked her back.

"I think I'm going to go back to sleep. I don't feel to good," Gracie said.

"Okay, just rest. I'll be here."

Gracie fell asleep, again. Lorelai stayed laying on one side of her. Gracie started tossing and turning. Lorelai motioned for Luke to lay on the other side of Gracie to see if both of them could make her stop tossing. Tossing couldn't be helping her get better. It was probably making it worse.

Luke layed down beside her. She soon started to relax. Lorelai fell asleep soon after. She was having a very busy day. Luke watched TV until he started to fall asleep as well.

Gracie woke up. She saw that Lorelai and Luke were both sleeping next to her. It felt like family. Something that parents would do to their kids when they were sick. Gracie felt a sinking feeling in her stomach when she thought of that. Her parents wouldn't have done that. Her parents would have just got a nanny to watch her while they went to work or a DAR meeting or whatever else they did.

Gracie fell back asleep.

Lorelai awoke from the feeling very hot. She realized it was coming from Gracie. She felt her forehead and noticed that she was burning up. She got out of the bed and walked over to her purse to get the thermometer. She woke Gracie up.

"What is it," Gracie asked sleepily.

"You're burning up, hon. Let me take your temperature."

"Okay."

Lorelai took Gracie's temperature.

"It's 102 degrees now. I'm getting a little worried. If it gets any higher then I'm bringing you to the hospital."

"Okay."

Lorelai took Gracie's temperature several times over a half an hour period. Everytime she took her temperature it got a little bit higher.

"Your temperature is 103.7 now. I have to bring you to the hospital!" Lorelai said.

She woke you Luke and told him what was going on. Luke carried Gracie to the car because she was really weak and tired. Lorelai ran to the car after she grabbed everything that she thought she'd need. Lorelai got in the car. Luke rushed to the emergancy room.
