Hey, everyone thanks for all the wonderful reviews on my last chapter. I know it was short and I know I said I would update last week but life has been hectic and I haven't found much time or inspiration to write. I still have 44 stories that were updated while I was away that I have yet to catch up on, so if one of them is yours, I apologise. Now I guess on with the long awaited chapter.

Disclaimer: still not mine…damn

Luke and Lorelai slept for a while. They were so tired and in such deep sleeps that neither heard the nurse or doctors come by to check on William vitals and administer his medicine. Once they awoke, Lorelai went to freshen up while Luke tracked down the doctor to find out what was happening. Luke managed to find him quickly and waited with him for Lorelai to return. She arrived back looking not much better than before. Luke and Lorelai braced themselves for what they were going to hear, as the doctor didn't seem too happy.

Dr Shepard: hi Lorelai

Lorelai: hey

Dr Shepard: I didn't want to wake you two earlier, I hope that is ok

Luke: that's fine. Is William doing better?

Dr Shepard: it's still a bit early to know the final outcome, but William is definitely starting to respond to the Serfactant.

Lorelai: his lungs are going to start developing? Will he breathe on his own soon?

Dr Shepard: It looks like it, but once again, I must stress this is still the beginning and all those problems we have discussed may still occur. He wont be out of the woods for a long time

Luke: we know, thank you Dr Shepard

Dr Shepard: now things aren't going to change for a while. Why don't you sign your release papers Lorelai and the two of you head home, freshen up, and get some rest.

Lorelai: I would rather wait here with William.

Dr Shepard: if we need you to make decisions about your son's treatment I would much rather you be alert and aware as to fully understand what I am telling you.

Lorelai: but……

Luke: Lorelai, I don't want to leave William either but I think Dr Shepard is right. We don't have to be gone for long. We will just have a shower, put on clean clothes and get some coffee in you and then we can head back here.

Lorelai: I guess your right and it will give us an opportunity to tell the town what is happening. I want them hearing from us not Sookie or Rory,

Luke: ok, so we will go then

Lorelai: yes, but on one condition

Luke: what?

Lorelai: I don't want any coffee

Luke: what?

Lorelai: what? I haven't had any in 7 months. I don't want to start till after I get to feed my son

Luke: good, I'm proud of you

Luke, taken a little by shock, walked over closer to Lorelai and gathered her up in his arms. Dr Shepard quietly walked away leaving them alone.

Luke: come, let's get going

Lorelai: can we say good-bye first?

Luke: of course

They walked back over to where William was peacefully laid out.

Lorelai: hey William, its your mommy speaking. I just wanted to tell you that we are going home for a bit. We want to get all cleaned up so that when we hold you we don't smell

Luke: I don't smell but your mother isn't doing so great

Lorelai: hey!

Lorelai hit Luke on the chest softly and let out a small chuckle

Luke: sorry, but he has to learn a sense of humour from somewhere and I rather it be mine than your crude sense of humour

Lorelai: my sense of humour is not basic, it is rather complex, and if I may say, I am very funny

Luke: you may say so, but we will just have to leave the judging up to William

Lorelai: we'll do that and I promise you I will win

Luke: you're too confident, I don't want you getting disappointed when our son finds me funnier

Lorelai: and what makes you so confidant?

Luke: it will be the male bond that wins him over

Lorelai: oh is it? So it wont be a 'like father like son' scenario

Luke: what do you mean?

Lorelai: well you find me absolutely irresistible and completely funny. You don't think your son will take after you.

Luke: no?

Luke tried hard to suppress his laugh but couldn't

Lorelai: see I'm irresistible

Luke: I guess you are

Lorelai: anyway, on top of that, babies love me

Luke: I'm sure?

Lorelai: they do, just ask Sookie. Davey loves me.

Luke ignores Lorelai and continues talking to William

Luke: ok son, you will just have to get better soon and prove me right. Your mom and I will never come to a consensus without you. Ok?

Lorelai: come lets get me signed out and let William rest

After one last glance at William, Luke and Lorelai headed to reception and signed the papers. They finished collecting everything that they had brought with them and headed home. The car ride was pretty quiet because both their minds were still back at the hospital with William.

As soon as they started to pull into town, all the eyes were on them. The townsfolk started to walk towards the diner where Luke had pulled up. Unsure of how exactly she wanted to tell the town, she gave Luke a look that said she wasn't quite ready, so he took over. As usual, Miss Patty was the one of the first to talk.

Miss Patty: Luke! Lorelai! What's going on? The diner wasn't open and we couldn't find you?

Luke: well Miss Patty, Lorelai went into labour and gave birth to our beautiful son,

Miss Patty: but you weren't 9 months yet

Lorelai: I know but he wanted to be born, so?

Babette: is he ok?

Luke: he will be. The doctors have him on medicine and machines to help him breathe.

Kirk: Did you name him Kirk?

Luke: What!

Lorelai: no Kirk, we named him William Gilmore-Danes

Babette: wow, that's a strong name

Luke: yes it is, but can I ask you all to please excuse us. We need to get freshened up and head back to the hospital

Lorelai: thank you all for your concern. We will send word with Rory and Sookie and keep you all up to date with Williams's progress.

Babette: good luck doll

Lorelai: thanks Babette

Luke and Lorelai headed into the diner. While Luke fetched clothes and toiletries to take with him, Lorelai ate some pie and drank some water.

The whole time something was nagging at Lorelai, so she rushed home with Luke and got ready. Without stopping for any rest. They made their way back to the hospital. Neither of them would be prepared for what they would see.

Thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to read my new chapter. Apologies for any grammar errors as I didn't have much time to proof read it. I'm sorry it's not the greatest chapter but I was really stuck as where to go. I think I have an idea now. I hope anyways. Please review and let me know what you think.

Thanks again
