Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls
The four of us looked at the big hospital and sighed. Jess gulped and walked forward. I walked to catch up with him. He stopped 3 steps from the door.
"Ok we came let's go" he turned around but I grabbed his arm.
"I agree let's go home" Luke piped in.
"No just go in" I pushed him a little. He walked in and stopped again.
"I'll go ask about her" I offered.
I walked to the desk and the lady behind the counter named Alice smiled at me "May I help you?"
"Yes I'm looking for Elizabeth" I turned around "Danes?" Jess nodded.
"Why are you turned around?"
"Oh sorry I'm looking for Elizabeth Danes she was hit by a car"
"Yes I'm guessing you're not family"
"No but he's"
"He can go in now but you'll have to wait for an ok from her doctor"
"Ok thank you"
"Is the older one with you too?"
"Yes that's her brother"
"Ok he may go in too room 105 right over there"
"Thank you so much"
"No problem I hope your uh friend gets better"
I smiled and nodded and walked back to tell them.
"Ok you guys can go in we can't room 105" I told them.
"Ok"
Jess and Luke walked into the room.
---------------------
"Jesse" Liz called.
I nodded a hello and Luke poked me "Hey" he poked me again.
"How are you feeling" she asked.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that" Luke poked me again "Ow will you cut that out"
She laughed softly then winced and stopped. I stepped back a bit.
"Oh it's ok come here" she smiled.
I walked a little closer and she reached out for my hand. I took her hand lightly and sat down in a chair next to her.
"You guys didn't have to come I'm fine"
"You were hit by a what was it…" Luke asked.
"A bus"
"You were hit by a bus!" I said.
"Yea I was playing tag"
"I'm not 6 anymore"
"I know are you guys all alone"
"No we brought a couple friends" Luke said.
"Where are they?"
"In the waiting room they weren't allowed in"
"Well let's see if I can do something about that what are their names"
"Lorelai and Rory"
"The Gilmore girls I've heard so much about let's get them in here" she pressed the button for the nurse.
"Yes"
"Hey can you send in Lorelai and her daughter"
"Are they family?"
"Send them in please"
"Ok"
"I can't wait to meet little Rory do you think she'll be ok I know how little kids are and hospitals"
I looked at Luke and raised my eyes. He shrugged.
-----------------------
"Miss Gilmore" Mom stood up and walked over "Miss Danes is asking for you and your daughter"
"Oh ok thank you" She came back "We can go in"
We walked in together.
-------------------------
"Hey" I said when Rory walked in "Uh this is Rory"
"Wow you're not a five year old girl"
"Um no" Rory said confusedly.
"Luke you make her sound like a little girl still talking about her being obsessed with Willy Wonka and Oompa Loompas"
"Actually that's Lorelai that's obsessed with Oompa Loompas" I said.
"Oh" she smiled.
"Well it's nice to meet you Rory"
"It's nice to meet you too I just wish it was under better circumstances"
"Oh it's not that bad I'm fine so tell me what is it like to travel with Jesse"
"Oh it's not that bad" Rory smiled at me.
"For you maybe" Lorelai and Luke added quietly.
"Hey no whispering it's mean" Liz said.
A doctor walked in "This is quite a crowded room Miss Danes you need your rest I'm going to have to ask that only immediate family stay"
"Come on Doc I need the entertainment doctors are only just so interesting"
"Miss Danes please"
"Fine I'm sorry we'll have to get better acquainted when Doctor Roberts isn't being such a prick"
"Thank you come on girls you can come back tomorrow"
The doctor scooted Rory and Lorelai out of the room.
"Are you single" I heard Lorelai ask.
"Mom" Rory snapped.
"So Jess you and Rory"
"What about us"
"So there is an us"
"Liz"
"Aw that's great"
"You stay in a closed area with them for an hour and a half"
"What are you talking about?"
"Her head was on your shoulder"
"So"
"So there is no need for her head to be on your shoulder if she wanted a head rest there is one on the back of the seat"
"Luke leave the boy alone her head on his shoulder is a lot better than what he did with that Sarah girl who already had a boyfriend"
"Ah geez" I walked out and saw Rory and Lorelai in the waiting area "You're still here"
"Yea we have nowhere to go and have you talked to the doctor"
"No why"
"She's not as fine as she seems"
"Well obviously what's wrong?"
"Well there's a possibility that she may not walk again"
"What"
"She did something to her spine or something but there's a chance that she'll be fine but I have good news too"
"Really what"
"The baby is fine"
"What baby!"
"You didn't know of course you didn't know why would you know"
"I'll be right back" I walked back to the room "Were you ever going to tell me"
"What" she asked.
"How far along are you is that why you sent me to Stars Hollow"
"Jess no I sent you there because I thought you'd do better and you are"
"And your spine"
"Oh Jess the doctor said there was a very slight chance I might not walk again it's no big deal"
"You still should have told me I've been her for 15 minutes"
----------------------
Jess walked out of the room again and stormed out of the hospital. I followed him. He stood in the rain looking up at the sky. After about a minute he started running. He kept running until he reached a pizza parlor. He opened the door and walked in dripping wet. I looked through the window. I saw him yelling at a man behind the counter. I walked in but he didn't notice. I walked closer but stopped about a foot behind him.
"You must've known she didn't tell me and you didn't even think to pick up the phone and say Hey Jess you're mom is having a kid but is too busy to call you"
"She told me not to tell you"
"It doesn't matter"
"Jess she trusted me"
"She trusts psychos but they still beat her"
"I didn't want to be another guy that let her down"
"You were supposed to be on my side how many times have I helped you"
"I'm sorry"
"Whatever"
They kept fighting and a girl about my age walked from behind the counter and over to me.
"I'm sorry about that what would you like" she asked.
"Oh nothing I'm not very hungry anymore" Jess turned around when he heard my voice.
"Rory you're wet"
"You know him" the girl asked.
I nodded.
"Huh"
"Are you related" I asked.
She laughed "no, no come on lets let them fight I'll show you pictures of him that would make him murder me"
I followed her into a back room. We could still hear them fighting.
"So how do you know Jess" she asked.
"Um"
"I'm guessing you're from Stars Hollow right"
I nodded.
"I'm Sarah" I choked.
"Guess you've heard of you must be Rory"
I nodded again.
"Jess and I are just friends nothing more we never really were anything more he was just helping me get over my ex"
I nodded once again and she laughed.
"You talk about as much as Jess"
"Sorry I just'
"Don't know what to say yea I figured"
"So how does Jess know…?"
"Paolo well he used to be Jimmy Jess's dad's best friend until he skipped town now he's Liz's best friend even though everyone knows that he's had a crush on Liz since like forever huh sounds like they either made up or killed each other lets go check it out"
---------------
"See I told you they made up" Sarah said.
"You said they either made up or killed each other"
"Stop it with the technicalities"
"Hey did you change" Jess asked.
"Wow since when are you so observant I lent her some of my clothes"
"Huh"
"Same old Jess"
"Sarah va a casa io deve comunicare con Jess" Paolo said.
"Fine" Sarah left.
"Jess don't worry about it I promised you I'd always keep Liz safe"
"I know but you can't be there all the time you proved that"
"I know but I'll make sure she's here when ever Liz has her boyfriends over"
"Fine"
"Good now tell me who this lovely young lady is" I blushed.
"This is my girlfriend Rory"
"It's nice to meet you Rory" he said "Now Jess don't you go corrupting this poor girl"
"Ok now we really have to go her mother is probably going nuts"
"Wondering where she is"
"No complaining about sucky hospital coffee"
"Well why don't you bring her some hold on"
--------------------------------
We walked out of Paolo's and started towards the hospital.
"Can you speak Italian" Rory asked.
"A little"
"Say something"
"Ti amo più di voi caffè di amore"
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know"
"Yes you do why won't you tell me"
"Come on it's starting to rain again"
"Say something else"
"Devo essere insano da amare questa ragazza pazzesca"
----------------------
The next day we all went to visit Liz again. We talked for awhile. The doctor said that the swelling her spine has gone down completely and that she will be able to walk again. After awhile Liz got tired so Rory and Lorelai left.
"So what did you do" Liz asked.
"What"
"She's mad at you what happened"
"Nothing I just won't tell her what I said"
"What"
"She asked me if I could speak Italian I said a little"
"A little you speak fluent Italian"
"Anyways she asked me to say something I did but I won't tell her what I said so she's mad"
-----------------------
"Hey Sarah I'm sorry to bother you but what does um tea amo something something café something"
"Well Ti amo means I love you and caffè means coffee"
"I love you coffee why would he say that"
"Well it could mean something totally different but unless I know what something something is that's the best I can give you'
"Thanks" my phone rang "sorry" I looked at it "it's Jess I..."
"Oh ok I'm sorry I couldn't help"
"Hello'
"Hey Rory it's Luke"
"Oh hi is everything ok"
"Yeah it's fine um Liz is having the baby'
"Oh wow we'll be right there'
"You don't have…"
"Luke we're coming" I hung up "come on Liz is having the baby"
--------------------------
"I'm sorry you have to leave now" a nurse said. I walked out of the room and sat with Rory and Luke and Lorelai and Sarah and Paolo in the waiting room.
"Hey Jess um I thought you didn't like coffee that much" Sarah said.
"I don't"
"Oh because Rory said that you said I love you coffee in Italian"
"What"
"That's what she said"
About 15 minutes later. A doctor came out looking very sad.
"Mr. Mariano, Mr. Danes I'm very sorry but…"
Sorry about the cliff. Well not really it was kind of fun. Next chapter will be up soon.
