"You're not a bad dad. You can go be with her. Rory can take care of me"

"But you need me here, and I don't want you to feel like I abandoned you, and I don't want to feel like that either."

"Hon, I'll be fine by myself for a couple of hours if you want to go see her."

"No. I fell like you are top priority right now."

"Aw. That's nice. I feel fine right now. Go see April."

"You're lying. Your in pain I know It."

"I've been in pain. You know I'm not a good liar." She smiles "So go and if you the chance you can tell her about me so she doesn't worry where her daddy has been"

He smiles at her "Thanks. You are amazing you know. When everyone should focus on you they do and then you don't want them to, but for all the right reasons. I won't be long. I promise. I'll be back in about two hours." He kisses her" Goodbye babe"

"Bye"

Lorelai sat in her room and was really bored without Luke.

Then Richard walked into her room

"Lorelai?"

"Daddy?"

"Oh my...Lorelai." He says softly as he looks at his daughter all banged up.

"Dad..wh..What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how you were, and to tell you. I don't agree with what your mother is doing and I will be on your side. I have already tracked down the finest lawyer for you and will make sure that Luke is not charged with a thing."

"Thanks Dad"

"Your welcome."

"Does Mom know that you are siding against her?"

"Actually yes she does know. I told her that it was not right to go against you, you are our daughter. But she didn't want to her it, she said she will be siding with Christopher and his family, she also..well...this is hard to say."

"What dad, what did she do?"

"She said she was going to do whatever it takes to put Luke, well she used other words, but to put Luke in jail instead of Chritopher."

"Oh.Dad Luke didn't do it. I wouldn't stay with a man that beat me."

"I know. So how are you feeling. Whats wrong?"

"Well i have a broken leg. A broken hip. Bruises to my head,hip,stomach,leg and internal organs. I cant walk for almost a year, and i have to take physical therapy to get up and walking again."

Richard just stared at his daughter as if he could cry

"Oh daddy don't cry, i'll be okay." Lorelai can't believe this, she has never seen her father cry.

"I will pay for whatever you need, all your physical therapy sessions, I will pay for them all."

Lorelai smiles. "Thank you dad. That would really help us out."

Richard gets up and hugs his daughter carefully, when all of a sudden she holds her broken hip and screams.

"Ow Ow ow ow!" She cries out and Richard runs out to geta doctor.

"Doctor help please, my daughter somethings wrong."

5 doctors and nurses come running into Lorelai's room. From the waiting area Luke sees all these people rushing in the direction of Lorelai's room. Luke is up and down the hall in 5 seconds.

"Richard whats going on what happened?"

"I don't know, I got up to hug her and she started screaming and she was holding her hip it looked like."

"Oh god, please let her be okay." Luke leans against the wall and slides down to the floor. He looks like he could cry as does Richard.
