Chapter 5: The News
By CripticWolf
Luke put the ring back into the box and stuffed it back into his pocket. He was so happy that Rory liked the idea of him and Lorelai getting married so much and he was even happier that he planted a genuine smile on her face in such a hard time for the both of them. The both decided that they should go back to the waiting room so the threw out the rest of their horrible food out. Luke bought another coffee for Rory and then they were on their way.
Rory was so excited for Luke and her mother. She absolutely loved the ring Luke picked out and knew her mom would also. She had a bunch of images of what there wedding would be like and how her mom would look in her dress running through her head. Even though she was dreading going back into the waiting room to just sit there, worry more about her mom, and worry about her grandmother being even ruder to Luke. She wished that her grandma could see how much of a great guy Luke was but she wouldn't even put the effort into it. Rory knew that as far as Emily was concerned he would never be enough for her and her mother, when her and her mother thought that he was everything and beyond. More then anything she just wanted her mom to wake up. Rory sighed sadly her thoughts wondering.
Luke heard Rory sigh and noticed her shoulders slump a little. "You okay, Rory?" He put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her to his side as the walked back to the waiting room.
"Yup, Luke. I'm fine. I'm just... I don't know." Rory confessed to him truthfully. She was thinking about to many things and feeling to many things, that she didn't want to be thinking of or feeling. Sad, angry, worried, miserable, her mom not making it, her grandmother being a real witch and making a scene, and what would happen if her mother did die. Luke looked at her sympathetically and hugged her a little tighter. He remembered feeling just as lost, if not more when his father was sick and he had to take care of him. He remembered all to clearly why he hated hospitals, how much trouble Liz was to deal with, how hard it was to balance work, care giving to his dad, and school, and how much it hurt when he found out his father had only a few more days left. It was a pain that never really went away and that he hated.
In the waiting room Richard and Emily were sitting there quietly. Richard was reading through a business magazine he found on one of the tables and Emily was sitting with her hands folded on her lap just staring at them. She looked up when she heard Rory respond to Lukes question and Richard just grinned at them slightly then went back to his reading. Emily had mixed emotions when she saw Luke hug her granddaughter to him to comfort and when Rory returned the embrace and smiled. 'Why wouldn't she come to us for comfort instead of him? We're her family and he's... he's just the diner man. Ugh... when will Lorelai realize that she would be much better with someone else or with Christopher. Christopher is her father after all. Lorelai is just being ridiculous. I hope she gets that through her head sooner or later, preferably sooner rather then later.' Emily went from angry, confused, and jealous to sad at her next thought. 'That's if she makes it thro-'
"Mr. Danes, Miss. Gilmore?" A doctor in his late 40's-early 50's asked, looking around. Luke and Rory immediately turned around, a mix of anticipation and fear engulfing them. "That's us!" They said in unison.
"I'm Doctor Ross." He introduced himself and shook Lukes hand. Luke introduced Richard and Emily to the doctor who shook Richards hand and to at Emily.
"How's my mom? Is she okay!" Rory sort of blurted out, unable to hold in he worried curiosity. Doctor Ross just gave her a smile and began talking.
"Mrs. Gilmore's going to be fine. When we brought her in she was unconscious from the accident." The doctor explained. "She was hit, head on, by a drunk driver who, the police informed us, ran a red light. It's actually very surprising that these are the only injuries she sustained. In all actuality and in most cases she technically shouldn't have survived the crash at all. She's definitely a strong and lucky woman." Luke smiled at the comment 'That she is.' He thought as the Doc continued.
"Now, as for her injuries," He looked down at his chart for a few seconds then continued. "She has a broken wrist that required we put in a pin to help it heal correctly, and her leg is broken in 3 places. We re-set it, and put it in a cast during the surgery. She also has a broken rib, some bruises, cuts, and scratches, and its expected that she will be very sore for at least a week. She also has a mild concussion that's not very bad but could still be a problem, although i doubt it."
"Can we see her?" Luke asked.
"Only two at a time at most and only for a few minutes each." Doctor Ross answered. "She is just coming out of the anesthetic, so she may be a little out of it. She's going to need lots of rest and lots of car the next few months. She's in room 113. Go ahead." He gave them another smile after pointing to the room and walked over to the main desk. Luke thanked him as he passed then the four of them started toward Lorelais room. When they got there Luke and Rory decided to let Emily and Richard go in first...
