Three hours later Rory had gone home and left Lorelai lying in the hospital bed, alone in the room. She is waiting for the doctor to come back with information about Luke.
The doctor walks in.
"Hi Lorelai, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. Did you find anything out about Luke?"
"Yes I did. It seems he got out of surgery about 10 minutes ago. They were able to remove the bullet from his leg, but the bone was shattered. They fixed it up in surgery and now he just has to wear the cast for about 4 months, after that he will have to take it easy. He is in the room right across the hall; I'll wheel you to him if you like. First, let me fill you in on your condition."
Lorelai looks nervous.
"Well, your back is severely bruised, so if you do not use this wheelchair to get around for the next month or so, you will be in a lot of pain and could possibly injure yourself further. Your left hand is broken in 3 places, but that's nothing that the doctors couldn't fix up in surgery, you will need to wear that cast for about 2 months."
"Wow, you are just full of information." She laughs to try and lighten the mood.
"Doctor, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"Why can't I move or feel my left hand?"
"I was actually just getting to that. There is good news and bad news. It seems the bullet had completely crushed bones in your hand, however, we were able to fix it up."
"Is that the good news?"
He nods.
"The bad news is that there is a 75 chance your entire left hand will not function at all, leaving it, as we call it, paralyzed."
As he keeps talking tears start to form in her eyes. It was all getting to be too much. She just wants to go home, she just wants to marry Luke and live happily ever after. All she wants is her happy ending.
"Are you okay?" The doctor asks kindly.
She sniffs her tears back and looks at him.
"Do you mind wheeling me into Luke's room?"
"Of course not."
He smiles a comforting smile and helps her into the wheelchair. He wheels her out of her room and into the one across the hall.
When they enter, Luke is awake and is reading a book. His entire leg is in a cast. Luke heard them come in and smiled at Lorelai, thanking God that she was okay. The doctor wheeled Lorelai next to the bed and left the room.
Lorelai laid her head down on Luke's arm and he stroked her hair.
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" Luke says softly.
"I'm okay, you?"
"Well my leg is hurting but other then that, I'm okay." He looks down at her arm and hand. "How long do you have to wear the cast?"
"He said for about 2 months. Luke he also said I…he…I ..."
"What is it?"
"As of now, my left hand is somehow classified as paralyzed and I have bad bruises up and down my back. I'm scared Luke. I need you to tell me that I'll be okay, that everything will be okay." She puts her hand in her hand and starts crying.
"It will Lorelai, It will be. Shhh…" He gives her a hug the best way he can.
"Look at me," she moves away from him. "I'm being so selfish; I'm acting as if you are not hurt. You are lying in a hospital bed, with a cast up your leg after basically saving my life. I'm such a bad person. Maybe you would be better off with Rachel, then at least,"
Luke cuts her off.
"Hey!" he says sternly and takes her hand. "Don't you ever think for a minute that I would ever go back to her. You are the only person I want to be with for the rest of my life and I will thank god everyday for making you be okay. The fact that if I hadn't of come when I did, you probably wouldn't be here right now. I love you Lorelai, and the thought of losing you scares the hell out of me. I'm okay, you're going to be okay, and everything will be okay. Don't worry about your hand; you are the strongest person I know. If anyone can prove the 75 chance wrong, its you."
Lorelai wipes the remains of her tears away.
"If I could get out of this wheelchair I would kiss you." They smile at each other.
Time lapse: 8:30 pm
The doctor walks in.
"Hey, how are you two doing?"
"We're okay." Luke answers.
"I am sorry to interrupt you guys, but you have a visitor, I was told not to give her name. She has 20 minutes until visiting hours are over."
"Okay thanks, I guess send her in." Lorelai says.
"The doctor leaves the room and the person enters.
"Get out!" Lorelai screams.
"I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt you guys. Honest, I just came hoping you would forgive me enough to not press charges."
She starts walking towards Lorelai. Lorelai wheels the chair back more.
"Stay away from me!" Lorelai yells again.
Luke grips onto her arm to try and calm her down.
"What are you doing here Rachel?" Luke asks, as calm as he can.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay Luke, what's so wrong with that?"
"What is wrong with you! You tried to kill my fiancé and you think I will say its okay just don't let it happen again!"
"I was never going to kill her Luke! I just wanted you back, that's all I ever wanted. You decided to stay with the little Tramp it's not my fault-
"Get out of this room Rachel! If you ever come near her again I swear you will regret it. See you in court!"
"Maybe the bullet should have killed you both, and then I wouldn't have to deal with you anymore!" She goes over to lorelai and grabs the wheel chair. Lorelai stiffens and gets very scared. "Watch your back Gilmore." She says in her ear, and then leaves the room.
