From the moment he got the call, his mind was racing from one scenario to another. 'What if she doesn't make it? I'll be ruined; she's all I've ever wanted. It took me eight years to work up enough courage to kiss her. What about Rory? She has to pull through for Rory.

The ride to the hospital was the worst experience of his life. It was all so surreal. He couldn't believe that she was in the hospital. 'What did the nurse say on the phone? Car crash? Simi versus her? He doesn't remember all he remembers is 'Lorelai Danes, hospital, get here soon.'

He walks in to the hospital in a blind panic.

"LUKE!" he hears his step-daughter yell.

He rushes to her and envelopes her in his arms. "Did they tell you anything?"

Between her frantic sobs, she answers, "I…no, I wanted you with me. You are my step-dad. Its only right you're here."

"I'm here now, lets go." He says, wrapping an arm over her shoulder. They make their way to the nurse's station. "Excuse me; I'm here in regards to my wife."

"Name?" a nurse asks.

"Lorelai Danes." He states.

The woman looks to the charts she has piled up and says, "One moment." She walks off to a young woman, and walks back with her, "This is Rachel, she's the nurse assigned to your wife's case."

"Mr. Danes, Miss Danes" she says, referring to Rory, "You need to come with me." They follow Nurse Rachel. to a near by waiting room. "Now, keep in mind, you can ask any question that you want, and I will answer it to the best of my abilities."

"Where is my wife, and how is she?" Luke asks, hey, she said I could ask.

"Mrs. Danes was driving south from Hartford, when a truck veered off of his side of the road and into her lane. She had no time to react. She was brought here in critical condition, and went into emergency surgery. The surgery is almost over, and she should be out anytime, but I must warn you that she may not look like herself. She'll have a machine that monitors her heart rate, and takes her blood pressure every fifteen minutes. She is also going to be hooked up to a breathing machine. Oh, Mr. Danes, I just wanted to let you know that the reason I'm assigned to her case is because I'm a nurse for an OBGYN. I just wanted you to know that your baby is fine."

Luke was at a loss for words, so was Rory. "I'm sorry, did you just say that my 'baby' is fine?" he asks, making sure he heard her right.

"Yes I did, Lorelai is six weeks pregnant." She sees his face, it's a mix of shock and happiness, "I take it you didn't know about this." She says.

"No I didn't know."
