Lorelai eyes widened with Shock. "No! Don't ever say that, I don't care what my parents say in court, or to anyone else. Luke would never hurt me. Where is the officer that was at the scene!"

"I'm sorry but he is not available right now Miss."

"Well ask him, because he saw everything."

Lorelai holds back her tears and the doctor tries to get the officer to leave.

"No! I am not leaving until Miss Gilmore answers some more questions!"

"You are upsetting her, she is not in a healthy state right now, if you put anymore stress on her I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Luke walks in the door and sees the doctor and a police officer near Lorelai.

"Hey! What's going on in here!"

"Mr. Danes I tried not to let him in but-" Luke cuts him off.

"How could you let him question her at this time?" Luke rushes to Lorelai's side.

"Baby are you okay."

Lorelai just grips onto Luke's arm and hides her face, crying.

"Get out!"

"I can't believe this. Now you are all worked up. I hate this." he stroked her hair

"They. They tried to blame it on you." she looked up

"what?"

"They asked me if there was anyway that you did this to me"

"What? The officer? Why does everyone -assume- I did it?"

"I don't know. I know you didn't. I just really wish you were here when they came"

"Baby I'm sorry. I didn't realize the time. I did up your wash, cleaned up the house, oh and I brought you a change of clothes. Now I brought jeans and sweatpants because I wasn't sure what you could wear with that cast but..." Lorelai kissed him to make him be quiet

"Thank you, and I think the sweatpants will be easier."

"Anytime." He kisses her again.

"So are you feeling any better."

"I'm really sore all over, inside and out. I can't move. I hate this, I really hate this Luke."

"I know. If I could take the pain away I would. Is there anything I can help you with or get you or to make the pain go away I'll help. I can help you put on your sweatpants if you need It."

"Thanks. The sweatpants, maybe later. I'm not up to the hassle of changing. Plus with this stupid brace on my hip you are going have to basically hold me and dress me"

"Okay. I would do that. You are not heavy. Anything else?"

"well. I could really use a cup of coffee."

"I don't think that you can have it. If you are hungry I can see what I can get you."

"What I really want is to get out of this bed."

"Well maybe I can ask the doctor if I can wheel you around the hospital for a little while."

"That would be great Luke, thanks."

Luke goes to ask the doctor and then Luke comes back into the room.

"I'm sorry baby but the doctor said it's too soon for you to be getting out of the bed. I'm sorry."

"Great so i'm stuck here. What is there to do besides lay here in bed all freaking day?"

"I don't know. I'm sure I could find something for you if I went and looked."

"No.I'm fine with you just here, it's just when am I going to go home?"

"Um..I'm guessing in like a week or so. Baby you're not well at all. You have a long road ahead of you."

"I hate that I'm not well, I hate that I will probably never be able to do or act like other people do, anymore. I wanted to marry you, and have kids with you. Now all of that stops because I'm in the hospital after someone who I thought cared for me just tried to murder me!" She starts crying again.

He pulls her in for a hug gently and lightly rubs her back. "It's okay. We will get married, we will"

She pulls away "No we won't. It will get put off again I know it."

"I promised you we would get married and we will. If you want to name a date now we can. You have to make it like a year and half from now though."

"See my condition is going to keep me from doing normal things. Dammit! I can't even have sex with my fiancé."

Just as she said the last statement the doctor walked in.

"Oh um, did I interrupt something?" The doctor says.

"No doc come on in." Luke says and looks embarrassed.

"So, doc. how long until I can get out of here?" Lorelai asks.

"I'd say a few more days and then you can leave. You have to understand Miss Gilmore that once you leave this hospital you must stay in a wheelchair at all times, except for at night when you are going to bed."

"Yes I understand."

"You will also need help with a lot of things. Maybe have someone help you get dressed for the first couple weeks home. With bathing wise. Wash off and someone can help wash your hair. After awhile you should be okay to do it yourself."

Lorelai sighed "Okay"

"Okay"

"Hey Doc how is she doing?" Luke asked

"Better since she came out of a coma, but she has a long road ahead."

"Can I work?" Lorelai questioned?"

"Yes. Wait about 3 weeks or so. Then after a follow up appointment I'll let you know if you can go back then. Rest. Then you can go back"

"Thanks"

"No problem"

"I can have kids still right?"

The doctor sighed "Yes you can, but don't try this year. The baby would most likely not make it. Your internal organs are also not very strong."

"Oh okay" She says sadly. "Well what about, well, sex. Can we still do that?"

The doctor sighed again and Luke looks very embarrassed but also wants to know the answer.

"I'm afraid not. Lorelai, you really won't be able to move much below your waist, and you're going to feel your back getting very sore too. You have bruises everywhere. I'm sorry but you are really not in good shape."

"Okay thank you."

"I'll leave you two alone, later we are going to have to run some more tests to make sure there is no brain damage."

Lorelai looks scared and Luke grabs her hand.

"What do you mean; there is still a possibility for that?" Luke asks.

"Yes, I'm afraid so. I'm so sorry."

The doctor leaves the room and Luke sits in the chair next to Lorelai's bed.

"I got a call last night; the court date is scheduled for 2 weeks from now, January 8th. We need to bring 3 witnesses."

"Wow, I can't believe this is happening. So the witness's would be Rory, Liz's friends and those two police men, right?"

"Right and one other thing...Emily and Richard are siding with Christopher."

"I knew it. Luke what if I have brain damage?"

"I don't know. I really can't answer that."

"I know" She looked down at her hands which she was fidgeting with

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing"

"I know there is. Tell me"

"Are you sure you still want to be with me? I mean we can't have sex. God only knows how long it will be until we can."

"Hey you listen to me." He grabbed her hand "I love you and i'm not going anywhere."

"Really.Im useless if you want to break up with me you can"

"Hey hey, don't ever say that. I will not break up with you. Lorelai Gilmore, I love you and I would never stay with you if it was only to have sex, I'm with you because I love you and I love being with you and hanging out with you. You are a great, fun person to be around and I will never leave you."

Lorelai smiles through her tears. "Thank you for saying that, I love you so much Luke."

Luke leans over and hugs her without hurting her and then gives her a kiss.

"But Are you sure Luke, because I really can't do anything, I really am a complete waste. Why couldn't Chris just follow through, I mean if your going to kill someone, shouldn't you actually do it, and not make them suffer!" She yells.

"Stop talking foolish. You have so many people that love you. Rory loves you so much. You are that girl's Role model. I love you. As much as you hate to see it or admit even after what they are doing, your parents both love you, and even that crazy town loves you"

"Your right i'm sorry. I'm just scared about the brain damage thing"

"It's okay." He kisses her gently

The Doctor came back in

"Okay Miss Gilmore if you are ready we would like to run those tests."

"Okay, I guess I'm ready." She looks at Luke.

"You'll be here when I'm done right?"

"Of course, I'll be in the waiting room."

They kiss once more before she is wheeled away.

Luke heads back to the waiting room, and waits 2 hours before he can't see or talk to Lorelai again.

Lorelai was back in her room and Luke came back

"Hey how did it go?"

"They said they will know the results in about an hour or so"

"Okay. Good. Do you feel okay?"

"I'm feeling okay I guess"

Just then Emily walked in

"What are you doing here?" She asked Luke

"Staying with my fiancé"

"You hurt her. Get away. Lorelai how can you let him in here?"

"Mom it was Chris. I'm telling you the truth"

"No. He would never do that."

"Well he did. You never believe me" She was raising her voice "He is not perfect. Just because you don't like Luke don't mean..." Luke cut her off

"I'll finish; you don't need to get worked up. As she was saying Emily just because you don't like me doesn't mean you need to blame me. Chris did this to her. I know you are rich and are siding with him and hell probably paid the court to take me away, but in the end the truth will come out. Wait until court..You will see."

"Shame on you for lying like that! I know you hurt her and I will prove it!" Emily says and storms out of the room.

"Luke?" Lorelai looks up at him with a scared look in her eyes.

"Yes Lorelai?"

"You..Um...well I remember that Chris hurt me, but you didn't well...how come...why..."

"Lorelai come on, you can tell me anything."

"How come you didn't stop him from hurting me?"

"Oh baby, I tried." He strokes her hair lovingly. "But every time I would try to he would hurt you even more so I told him to kill me and to leave you alone. But he didn't listen."

"Oh Luke, you did that for me."

"Of course."

Lorelai sat there in silence for a moment.

"Luke, if the police hadn't of gotten there when they did, I would be dead right now."

"No you wouldn't of, because if the police didn't come in I would have run up those stairs and taken you away from him, no matter what I thought would happen to me. You are my world. I love you Lorelai Gilmore."

"I love you too Luke Danes." She moves and winces again.

"Hey now don't move. Just relax."

"Luke, I really don't want to go to court. I don't want to have to face Chris. Please don't make me go Luke, please." She cries out to him.

He hold her hand in both of his. "It's not me making you go. I would never make you do anything you don't want to do. It's the police and all that high society junk making you go."

"I...I don't know what to say. I've never been in court."

"Just tell them the truth."

"What if I don't remember? What if my tests come back that I have brain damage? What if I can't remember? What if..." Luke cuts her off

"and what if you do remember? You do you know what happened."

"I know.Im just scared"

"It will be okay." He kisses the top of her head.

Just then Rory walked in

"Hey mom!"

"Oh hey angel" She was excited to see her and Luke could tell

"I'll leave you guys alone." Luke got up from the chair

"No, Luke you can stay. I came to see mom but that don't mean that you have to leave"

"Ok, you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"okay." He smiled and sat back down

"So mom, how are you feeling?"

"A little better"

"How are you?"

"I'm great"

She turned to Luke "How really is she?"

"She is getting better..slowly."

"I thought so." she turned back to her mom

"Well can't I pretend to be getting better?" Lorelai says.

"Of course mom, but if you feel hurt or in pain then tell us okay."

"I will, now can we please change the subject."

"sure, what do you want to talk about mom?" Rory asks and Luke sits in the corner.

"How's school?"

"School's good, I'm doing so much work so that I can graduate next year, its looking good so far."

"Oh Rory that's great." She smiles at her daughter, she is so proud that Rory decided to go back to school on her own.

"Yeah Rory I'm proud of you." Luke chimes in.

"Oh thanks Luke." Rory hugs Luke.

"Aw, how cute." Lorelai says and laughs.

"Shut up." They say at the same time.

"Hey! Do not insult the injured."

Rory turns to Luke, "Oh great, how long you think she is going to use this injury as an excuse."

"I'm thinking as long as she can." Luke says and rolls his eyes.

"Too bad you guys won't be here to witness me complaining because you will both be dead."

"And why will we be dead mom?"

"From all the torturing."

"Uh-huh." Rory looked at her watch "Oh hey I got to run. I have a class i'm going be late for it. Sorry mom." She kisses her on the cheek

"its okay hon."

"Bye Luke"

"Bye Rory"

She walks out and Lorelai looks down. She looks sad

"What's wrong?"

"I was thinking. Well I've been thinking. What happens with April? I mean you obviously have not been seeing her because of Me."

"It's ok"

"I don't mean to keep you from seeing her. Does she know i'm here?"

"No she doesn't know your here but that's only because I've been with you the whole time."

"Oh. If you want to go call her you can"

"No, no I didn't mean it like that. I meant I want to stay by your side. I will call April later, you are what matters the most right now."

"Ok. How are you going to see her and tend to me at the same time when I get out of here?"

"I...I oh man i didn't even think about that. I was so worried about you that I didn't even think about my kid, what kind of father am I."

He sits back on the chair.

Hey this is a much longer chapter, that means it calls for much longer reviews,lol. Jk I'll take any reviews!
