Sorry about how dramatic it is I was watching passions when I wrote it, that show is hilariously over dramatic.

Chapter 2: Aftershock

Rory and Lorelai are in their car on their way to the Gilmore's

"Hey Rory?"

"Yeah mom?"

"I wasn't sure I should tell you, it's probably nothing, but um I saw this girl at Luke's today looking for Jess."

"Yeah, Kate"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I saw her and Jess down by the pond."

"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. He really likes you; Kate's probably just a friend or something."

"Your right, just a friend." Rory says as they pull up in the driveway. The two walk to the door in silence, Emily answers.

"Hello girls, would you like something to drink?"

"Yeah the usual?"

"Water's fine for me." Rory's phone rings. "Grandma can I take this."

"Sure, hurry up."

"Okay, Hi."

"So Lorelai how's work?" Emily asks as she hands Lorelai a drink.

"Good."

"And Sookie?"

"She's also good."

"Good that's good."

"How's the DAR?"

"Still there." Rory comes in looking upset "Rory?" Emily asks, Lorelai turns around.

"Rory what's wrong?"

"Kate, she was hit by a car."

"Oh my God."

"Who's Kate?" Emily asks.

"A friend of Jess's." Lorelai tells her

"Rory's Jess."

"Yes mom."

"Is she an old girlfriend?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know, you didn't ask?"

"No mom she said she was a friend I left it at that, is she okay?"

"I don't know, Jess said that Luke can't get there for awhile and he needs someone there with him, Grandma I'm really sorry to ask but…"

"No, its okay Rory you go be with your friend."

"Thanks, maybe we can have dinner tomorrow?"

"I'd like that."

"Bye mom" Lorelai says as they rush out the door.

"Jess said they transfer her to Hartford. He said they can't do anything til' she wakes up. Mom I've never heard him so worried, he sounded so scared."

"It's okay we'll be there soon."

They get to the hospital and walk up to a desk.

"Um hello we're looking for someone." Lorelai asks the lady at the desk.

"Name?"

"Kate, um Kate I don't know her last name."

"She's in room 137." Rory says "Jess told me she's in room 137."

"Okay let's go." They take the elevator to get to Kate's room. Rory goes in and Lorelai sits out side and waits for Luke. Jess is taking to Kate when Rory comes in.

"You gotta get up; the doctors say they can't help you til' you do. They said it'll only get worse so you gotta get up now. C'mon you know you're my world too, I love so much and I can't lose you, please Kate. You remember when we were little and mom would get real mad at us when we didn't do what she said, well if you don't get up…" A tear rolls down his face "Kate please don't die I can't live without my sister I love you to much."

"Your sister?" Rory asks.

"Rory." Jess looks up at her, tears poring down his face; he gets up to hug her. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Kate's your sister?"

"Yeah, she didn't want anyone to know cause she thought everyone in town would hate her or something."

"I'm so sorry Jess."

"This is all my fault if I had just let it go she wouldn't of… Oh God, Rory I killed my sister. If anything happens it's all my fault."

"Jess, you didn't hit her."

"You're right, it's his fault, if anything is wrong with her I'll kill him. I mean it Rory I will kill him."

"Kill who? Who did this to your sister?"

"It was…"

Lorelai is reading a magazine when she hears some yelling. She gets up to see what's going on.

"I just wanna know what room Kate Danes is in." Luke yells

"Hold on a sec, k. I'm on the phone. Anyway so what did he say…no way…no way…"

"Damn it I just wanna know where my niece, Kate Danes is. So tell me now, where is she?" Luke demands

"Luke, she's over here."

"Lorelai? What are you doing here?"

"Jess called Rory when he couldn't get you here. Rory said he's a mess."

"Yeah he would be, Kate and him have been close since she was born. Liz always said that me and her must of done something wrong. How could Kate and Jess be such close siblings and yet we're not."

"I sorry, siblings? Jess and Kate are siblings?"

"Yeah. Kate wanted it to be a secret for awhile. Is she okay?"

"I don't know, I'm sorry Luke."

"Do you know who the jerk who hit her was?"

"I don't, maybe Jess does. Right in here." Luke walks in and sees a doctor leaning over Kate.

"Is she okay?"

"She'll be fine, but we can't check to see if there both okay til' she wakes up." Luke looks over at Jess, who's got tears in his eyes and has a hold of Rory.

"Both of them?" Jess asks. Just then the heart rate increases and Kate wakes up. "Kate!" Jess runs over to her and hugs her. Kate looks confused then an overwhelming look of fear fills her face.

"My baby, my baby is it okay. Please tell me it's okay."

"That's what we need to find out. We need to check you first then we'll check the baby." The doctor says as others push her bed toward an operating room, Jess follows.

"A baby, you're pregnant?" Jess asks confused

"Sir you can't go any farther."

"But I need to know is she, both, I need to see if they're gonna be okay."

"Sir you have to wait here." Jess stands right at the door and Luke stands right behind him

"She'll be fine." Luke tells Jess.

"She has to be, they both do."

"Rory I found something out about Kate."

"Yeah me to, she's Jess's sister and she's pregnant."

"What how did you find out."

"Jess told me. How did you?"

"Luke told me, she's pregnant?"

"Yeah Jess and Luke just found out."

"Wow."

After an hour, the doctors take Kate back to her room where an ultrasound machine was waiting for them.

"Is it okay?" Kate asks as she grips Jess's hand

"She's gonna be fine."

"I'm having a girl. You here that you're gonna be fine." Kate hugs Jess. "Janey's fine."

"Is this the father?" the doctor asks.

"Me, no I'm the brother." The doctor looks at Luke.

"Don't look at me, I'm the uncle."

"The father isn't here… yet." Kate tells everyone.

"Do you know who he is?" Jess asks.

"Yes, there's only ever been one. He's, he'll be here tomorrow."

"Good cause I'd like to kill on top of who did this to you." Jess says.

"Who did do this to her?" Luke asks.

"Kate, Kate, Kate just stop for a second please." Jess stops.

"Why?" she asks as she still is walking. Just then a car comes rushing by.

"KATE!" Jess screams as the car hurtles toward her, not even trying to stop, and slams into her, Jess freezes. She flies up the windshield of the car, spins in the air, then makes a loud smack when she lands on the ground a foot or so on front of the car. For a second all Jess sees is Kate's body laying on the ground lit up by the headlights of the same car that just ran into her. Everything is fuzzy around him; he couldn't believe what had just happened. Jess's entire body goes numb. Everything seems like it's in slow motion, his heart is racing, he can barley breath. He rushes to Kate's side the minute the feeling in his body comes back "Kate, you're gonna be fine." He says at the sight of her bruised and broken body still lit up by the headlights. "You'll be fine. Kate I'm sorry, I love you please just don't…"

"Jess I forgive you." She says breathing heavy. "I-I-I love you too, Jess and Kate forever, member. You know me I'm just a drama queen." Jess smiles quickly, tears begin to fill up behind his eyes. Kate's expression changes to a more solemn look. "Keep us safe Jess, don't let it get hurt, promise me Jess you won't let it get hurt."

"I promise." Kate smiles then closes her eyes. "Kate, Kate? No Kate." Then out of the car comes Dean. "YOU! You did this to her." He says charging at him. "What you think, cause Rory likes me more then you, you can just go and do that?" He punches Dean a few times. "I love her you have to take away someone I love. Why? Why her, why Kate, why my little sister." Jess punches him again. "You hurt my sister; I'm supposed to keep her safe. I'm supposed to be there for her. You, I hurt her." He lets Dean go, falls to the ground, then he begins to cry. "I hurt her, and now she's…" he trail off as he looks over at her lifeless body. "And it's all my fault." An ambulance comes to get Kate and Jess goes with it to the hospital.

"Kate, I'll make this up to you I swear I will. I love you."

In the morning, Jess is sitting in a chair by Kate's bed and has his head resting on her bed; Luke and Lorelai are lying in a chair in the corner of the room all asleep when Rory comes in. She looks at her boyfriend at his sister's side and then at her mom with Luke. Just then Lorelai wakes up.

"Whoa, ow, never let me sleep like that again." She says hitting Luke to wake him.

"Hey, I wasn't the one who squeezed their way in the chair last night."

"Guys shhh." Rory says pointing at Jess and Kate, but it was too late Jess had just woken up. "Hey you okay."

"Yeah I'm fine, coffee anyone?" Jess asks

"I'll go with you, see if they have any tea." Luke says getting up.

"Okay, Rory if she wakes up tell her I'll be right back." Rory shakes her head yes as the guys leave Lorelai follows them out. She dials a number on her phone.

"Hi mom?"

"Yes Lorelai."

"Kate's gonna be fine, and we found out she's gonna have a baby."

"Oh no, is it Jess's?"

"No, mom Kate is Jess's sister."

"Why didn't you tell me that last night?"

"I didn't know til' after I got here, I'm calling to tell you I don't think we can make it tonight."

"Why, I thought you said Kate was fine?"

"She is but Jess just found out she was pregnant and I think Rory should stay here for Jess when he finds out who the dad is. And I'm gonna stay here for Luke."

"Okay so we'll see you next Friday?"

"Yeah, next Friday. Bye mom"

"Bye Lorelai." This young guy comes up to Lorelai.

"Hello, I'm sorry to bug you but do you know where room 137 is?"

"Yeah, hey are you the dad?"

"What?"

"Oh did Kate not tell you yet?"

"No, she told me, I just didn't know you knew her."

"Oh yeah I'm Lorelai Gilmore."

"I'm Will Blane, You're Rory's mom right."

"Yeah how do you know Rory?"

"Jess use to talk about her all the time. Is he in there?"

"Nope, Luke isn't either, perfect timing." Will walks in to see Kate.

"Hi, Rory right?"

"Yeah, who are you?"

"Oh sorry I'm…" Kate interrupts him.

"Will? Hey you."

"Hey how you feeling" He asks her as he kisses her on the forehead.

"I'm Okay, we both are, Rory this is Will Blane, He's my little kid's daddy."

"Hi Will." Just then Jess comes through the door with Luke and Lorelai.

"Okay where is he?"

"Jess." Will says

"Hey Will, why are you here? Did you drive this idiot here?"

"Not exactly, Jess um I don't know how to tell you this but um, Will…" Kate tries to tell Jess.

"No, no, no, no, no, no Will you're not."

"Jess we tried to tell you about us when you came back but…" Will starts to tell Jess.

"I don't wanna hear this. Will you're my best friend; I've known you as long as I've known Kate. I mean you can't. You're not. How did this happen?"

"Well we started dating after you left the first time, I was sad he was there and we decided to hang and soon it turned into something more, all my idea, none of his. Anyway so we were gonna tell you about us when you came back, but then you left without saying anything and I go t really mad and really sad and I went to Will's a little after you left and well, now there's a baby."

"You, I still don't." Jess says as he tries to comprehend what's happening.

"Look Jess I love your sister very much, and I'm gonna be here for her." Will tells his best friend.

"Are you getting married?" Jess asks.

"No, no I want him to have a life and those marriages never work out, and I only wanna get married once."

"Okay that's it I'm gonna kill him." Luke yells as he charges at Will. Lorelai and Rory try to hold him back

"Luke! Calm down look I understand the shock but we've worked this all out and me, Will and our little girl are gonna be fine."

"It's a girl, I'm gonna have a girl, Kate that's. A girl."

"He needs to go, now!" Luke says angrily

"You should go now, Will it'll be okay, go."

"Okay, you need anything…"

"I'll call, love you."

"Love you too." Will kisses her.

"OUT! NOW!" Jess yells after seeing them kiss. Will leaves the room.

"Jess don't…" She stops and moans then begins to scream. "Jess oh God something's…" She screams again. Jess rushes over to her and grabs her hand.

"Katie-Kat you'll be fine, you're okay." He kisses her hand.

"There's something wrong with her, Jess help me please."

"I will, I will." Jess says to his sister who has tears rushing down her face and pain in her eyes makes him feel like the world is going to end. She screams again as doctors come running in.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I feel something wrong. The baby, she…" Kate screams again "Something's wrong with her." The doctor uses the ultrasound machine that was in there from last night.

"Something is wrong."

"Is she…"

"We're losing her."

"Oh God Jess." Kate turns to her brother to see the all too familiar courage in his eyes, but it's not there. In fact he looks just as scared as her.

"I won't let it happen. Is there anything you can do?" Jess says almost choking up. Rory and Lorelai are both shocked to see Jess so frightened.

"Well, there appears to be something wrong with the baby, due to the accident. She'll need to be operated on right away."

"No that can't happen, she has to be fine."

"Mom this is…" Rory says trying not to cry.

"I know." Lorelai says as she sees Luke starting to cry.

"I swear to you everything'll be okay." Jess tells his beloved sister.

"Okay." She says clenching her teeth in pain and trying to hold back the tears that are streaming down her face. Luke grabs hold of Lorelai.

"We need to get her to an operating room, now." The doctors wheel her out of her room. Jess walks back to the operating room where she is and stays there waiting for the words that will either destroy his sister's life or make it better than it was. Will walks up to Rory.

"Is she…"

"We don't know." Rory looks over at Luke and her mom. Luke's eyes are red from crying and he can barely stand, Lorelai is doing her best to keep him up. Rory hears a thud she looks over at Will and sees he's on the floor.

"She can't, she must be such a mess." Will says unable to say anything else.

A few hours pass and no one comes out of the room. Rory watches the door for Jess to come out as she tries to comfort Will. Lorelai's cell rings.

"Hi Sookie…….. No I know Luke's not at work, he's busy……. I'm at Hartford General…….. Rory's fine….. Luke's fine…….. Jess is fine…… It's Kate, Jess's sister; she's pregnant……. Only a couple months but she got in an accident yesterday. The problem is a few hours ago she started having pains and the doctor said that there was something wrong with the baby. She went into surgery and she's still in there with Jess……. I know, Hey Sookie do you think you could get it around town. You know so Luke doesn't have to deal with all the questions…….. thanks so much…… u-huh….. yep……. K…… m-bye."

"So the whole town'll know it within the hour." Rory says

"What's taking so long?" Will asks

"I don't know." Rory answers. Just then Jess comes out with a blank expression on his face.

"Is she okay, Jess is the baby okay?" Will asks. Jess runs over to Rory and hugs her. He whispers something in her ear that makes her tear up.
