If everyone's wondering, I'm making Emily's real name Amelia. I know some other people have already done this but I'm doing it too.
1 MONTH LATER
"Luke" Lorelai said shaking him. "Luke wake up!"
"What do you want, Lorelai?" Luke asked sleepily.
"Luke, something's wrong" Lorelai said panicked.
Lorelai moaned in pain. Luke shot out of bed.
"Lorelai, what's wrong?" Luke asked.
"It hurts" Lorelai said. "It's like this stinging, sharp, pain in my stomach"
"Get your coat on, we're going to the hospital" Luke said helping her up.
"What about Rory?" Lorelai asked in pain.
"I'll tell her we're leaving" Luke said helping Lorelai down the stairs.
When they reached the bottom Luke stopped.
"Wait here while I tell Rory" Luke said.
Luke opened Rory's door and turned on her light.
"Rory" Luke said.
"What?" Rory asked sleepily.
"There's a problem with your mom and the baby so I'm taking her to the hospital. I'll call you when I find out what's wrong" Luke said.
"Is she okay?" Rory asked concerned.
She got out of bed.
"I don't know" Luke said.
They heard Lorelai from the living room.
"Luke, hurry up" Lorelai said starting to cry.
Luke and Rory hurried out into the living room. Lorelai was clutching her stomach with tears streaming down her face.
"We're going to go, Rory" Luke said.
He helped Lorelai to the car and rushed her to the emergency room. The doctor's told him to wait in the waiting room. He waited for an hour when the doctor came in.
"We have to deliver this baby now" the doctor said. "I'll have the nurse give you some scrubs"
Luke changed into scrubs and was rushed into the delivery room.
"I need my husband" Lorelai was saying as Luke entered the delivery room.
"I'm right here" Luke said sitting down beside her.
Five minutes later Luke heard the doctor.
"We've got the baby" the doctor said.
He handed the baby to nurses and they immediately rushed it off to N.I.C.U.
"I didn't hear crying" Lorelai said with tears. "Was it breathing, is it okay?"
"Lorelai, calm down everything is going to be fine" Luke said.
"They're making sure everything is okay with your daughter" the doctor said.
"It's a girl" Lorelai said excited. "Luke it's a girl"
"I know" Luke said.
Lorelai looked at his eyes and saw a mixture of happiness and fear. Then she noticed that a tear was running down his cheek.
"It's okay" Lorelai said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A few hours later.
"How's Mom?" Rory asked running in and hugging Luke.
Luke held her for a minute.
"Your mom is sleeping" Luke said.
"How's Emma?" Rory asked.
"I don't know" Luke said. "They're still working on her"
Emily and Richard rushed in after Rory.
"Rory called us and told us what happened" Emily said. "Is Lorelai okay, what about the baby?"
"Lorelai is fine and sleeping" Luke said. "The baby, is a girl, she isn't breathing on her own"
Emily put her hand over her mouth. Luke looked at the floor.
"Her name is Amelia Elizabeth Danes" Luke said. "Emma for short"
Emily looked at Luke.
"Who picked out the name?" Emily asked quietly.
"Lorelai did" Luke said looking at Emily.
She had tears in her eyes but quickly brushed them away.
"Who's with Izzy?" Luke asked Rory.
"Sookie" Rory said. "She said to fill her in when we get back"
They waited there for a while.
"Mr. Danes" a nurse said. "Your wife is asking for you"
"Can I see Mom?" Rory asked.
"Why don't you guys come with me" Luke said. "Lorelai was a little upset so I'll check with her before you come in"
They went outside of Lorelai's room. Luke knocked on Lorelai's door.
"Come in" Lorelai said.
Luke came into the room.
"Rory and your parents are here" Luke said. "Do you want me to have them come in?"
"Yeah" Lorelai said. "Come in guys"
Rory and her parents came slowly into the room. Rory walked over and hugged her mom. They stayed like that for a second.
"I was so worried" Rory said, tears streaming down her face.
"It's okay baby" Lorelai said stroking the back of her head.
She comforted Rory.
"Mom, I'm going to go to the bathroom and wash my face" Rory said sensing her mom might want to be alone with her parents.
"I think I'll go find some tea" Luke said catching on. "Does anyone else want anything?"
"No thanks" everyone said.
Luke and Rory went out of the room. It was quiet.
"How are you feeling?" Emily asked.
"I've been better" Lorelai said.
It was quiet again.
"Oh Lorelai" Emily said.
She hugged her and Lorelai started sobbing.
"I'm so scared" Lorelai said. "What if she doesn't make it, I can't take losing my baby"
"Everything will turn out okay" Emily said.
"She's a Gilmore" Richard said. "Gilmore's don't give up"
Lorelai wiped her eyes.
"It wasn't supposed to happen like this" Lorelai said. "Luke was so happy about this baby, everyone was. You should have seen her. For the few seconds I got to see her. She has red hair Mom, like yours"
Lorelai saw happiness shining through Emily's eyes.
"Mrs. Danes" a nurse said coming into the room with a wheelchair. "Would you like to see your daughter for a few minutes?"
"Yes" Lorelai said eagerly. "Wait, Luke needs to come too"
Just then Rory and Luke came back into the room.
"Conspiring against me I see" Lorelai said trying to lighten the mood.
Everyone smiled a little.
"This nurse is asking if we want to see our daughter" Lorelai said.
"She's in the N.I.C.U. She seems to be stable for now" the nurse said. "If you want you and your husband can go in first and then one of you can stay while your other family members come in. We prefer to only have two people in there at a time. All of you also need to wash your hands very well"
She rolled the wheelchair over to Lorelai's bed. Luke and the nurse helped Lorelai into the wheelchair. They wheeled her to the N.I.C.U. Emily, Rory, and Richard waited outside.
"She's going to have a lot of machines and tubes hooked up to her" the nurse said. "I'm warning you"
Lorelai and Luke nodded. Lorelai saw Amelia and gasped. The tiny newborn could fit in the palm of Lorelai's hand. She had tons of tubes and machines hooked up to her, keeping her alive.
Lorelai gently rubbed her pinky in circles on Amelia's hand. Her pinky was slightly bigger than Amelia's hand.
"She's beautiful" Lorelai said.
Luke nodded.
"And tiny" Luke said.
"Hi, my Emma" Lorelai said softly. "I'm your mom and this handsome man standing beside me is your dad"
"Hey, Emma" Luke said.
Lorelai looked at Emma struggling to stay alive.
"Why did this have to happen?" Lorelai asked.
"I don't know" Luke said.
"What if I caused it?" Lorelai asked. "What if it was because I drank so much coffee before the pregnancy? Or I drank it before I knew I was pregnant? I was already three months before I found out. That's three months of drinking tons of coffee a day"
"Lorelai, it was not your fault" Luke said. "Now we don't know what's going to happen. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and sit tight. Emma is a strong girl and she will make it through this. After all, I did predict you were pregnant, and if you remember, I predicted that Emma would be a girl and if you haven't noticed, she is"
Lorelai smiled.
"I hate snow" Lorelai said.
"What? I thought you loved snow?" Luke said confused.
Lorelai pointed to the small window. Luke looked outside and saw it was snowing.
"It's been snowing ever since I got up with those pains in my abdomen" Lorelai said.
"Maybe it means something good is going to happen" Luke said.
It was quiet.
"We should probably let everyone else see Emma too" Luke said. "Why don't you stay with her and I'll get Rory"
"Sure" Lorelai said.
Luke left the room and a few seconds later Rory came in.
"Hey mom" Rory said.
"Hi sweetie" Lorelai said. "Emma, you get to meet your sister"
"Hey Emma, I'm your oldest sister, Rory" Rory said.
Rory sat down in the seat next to Lorelai.
"She's so tiny" Rory said. "She could fit in the palm of my hand"
"I know" Lorelai said.
"I was really scared" Rory said quietly. "I thought I was going to lose you"
"Oh, sweetie" Lorelai said. "It's okay; everything is going to be okay"
"Will it hurt if I hug you?" Rory asked.
"I think I can handle it" Lorelai said.
Rory hugged Lorelai. They looked at Emma.
"If she makes it through the night they said it will up he chances of living by a lot" Lorelai said. "I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep a wink"
"Me either" Rory said.
They sat there for a while and then Rory left to see Luke. Then Emily and Richard took turns visiting. Then they went home.
I updated fairly quickly I think. I think since I was so fast at updating I should get even more reviews, just kidding. Again thank you to all of you who reviewed and keep on reviewing.
