"Hey dolls." Babette said coming around to where Richard and Emily had just gotten out of the car in Lorelai's driveway. "If you're looking Lorelai or Rory they're not here." Babette suddenly recognised them. "You're Lorelai's parents; I'm Babette I live next door."

"I believe we met at Sookie's wedding." Richard said.

"I think you're right doll." Babette agreed.

"Do you know where we could find Lorelai or Rory?" Emily inquired.

"Rory's been staying with Jess above the diner when she's back from school, you could try there."

"Thank you."

"No problem doll, I should get home to Morey."

Luke was wiping down a table when the bell sounded indicating he had more customers. He was surprised when he looked up and saw who it was.

"Mr and Mrs Gilmore this is a surprise."

"Luke." Emily said as way of a greeting.

"We were told we could find Rory here." Richard said.

"Rory and Jess went for a walk about fifteen minutes ago and they had books with them so they may be a while." Luke told them.

"What about Lorelai?"

"One of the guests at the inn had a heart attack right into his French toast, so Lorelai had to go over there. Why don't you take a seat, I'll get you some coffee and call and let her know you're here."

"An excellent idea." Richard agreed.

They went and sat at a table.

"Cesar can you take some coffee to the Gilmores." Luke asked. "I need to call Lorelai."

"Sure boss." Cesar did as he was asked.

Luke grabbed the phone and ducked into the kitchen after dialling.

"You have good timing." Lorelai answered the phone. "I just got off the phone with the hospital."

"What did they say?"

"He should make a full recovery. But it's taken me this long to clear up everything here. I'm glad the drama is over for today."

"I wouldn't be so certain about that."

"Certain about what?" Lorelai asked.

"About the drama being over."

"Why what happened?"

"Your parents just came in looking for Rory." Luke glanced around the counter looking door to see where they were sat sipping their coffee.

"Richard and Emily Gilmore are in the diner? Voluntarily?" Lorelai questioned.

"They just walked in five minutes, Cesar gave them coffee."

"Is Rory there?"

"She and Jess went for a walk. They're probably at the bridge." Luke replied.

"I'll call her and give her a heads up. Then I'll be right there."

"What should I do until you get there?"

"Keep giving them coffee, maybe a pastry. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"You'd better be." Luke said before hanging up.

"Oh god." Lorelai said when she hung up.

"Is everything okay?" Sookie asked who was concerned the French toast had caused the heart attack. "Is it Mr Anderson?"

"He's going be fine. My parents are at the diner."

"What?"

"Richard and Emily Gilmore are at Luke's they want to see Rory."

"Okay, take a deep breath." Sookie suggested. "Only one heart attack in a day."

Lorelai took a deep breath.

"I have to call Rory and warn her."

"Just take another deep breath." Sookie suggested. "You don't want Rory to hear you panicked."

"Okay." Lorelai took a few deep breaths. She hit speed dial for Rory's cell phone. "Voice mail." She told Sookie. "Rory hun, your grandparents are at the diner. I'm going to call you again. Call me if you get this."

Lorelai ended the call and called her again.

In the apartment above the diner Rory's cell phone rang to it's self from its position on the table where it had been left.
