Wow. One hundred reviews. One hundred… I have never, ever gotten this many reviews. I was speechless when I saw 100. Yes, I know you guys probably don't care that I got one hundred reviews and y'all are yelling at the computer screen "get on with the story!" Ha, just joking… but if you did that, I am giving you personally props, because that is something I would normally do, and then…well, yah, you just have to meet me, I'm crazy. Crazy by day, crazy by night, and no matter how you spin it I am crazy. I think it is time to quote one by the name of Paris Gellar… "A lot of people have said I'm not ordinary." Well, a-men sister friend to that Paris! Yes, you see, right now, currently I am suffering from laryngitis… it sucks because normally on these stories I get right to the chase and start it, but today, well, rather tonight, I am typing more because it's the only alternative to talking.
Okay, I have a personal goal for this story. You guys have to help me with this, I never set goals, and when I do they're like, hand in your homework for once… this one is going to be harder for me, I think. Okay, my goal is that this chapter be the longest, and the best I have done so far, so please people, in your review can you please say yes or no at the top. Thank-you.
Oh, oh yes. This is what I have wanted to say in every chapter of my fan fiction but I always forget, so here it goes. A lot of people I have talked to that are Gilmore Girls fans have said that this season sucked. I do agree that it wasn't as good as, well, say the fifth season, it did not suck. Now, after questioning people's opinions, most came to the conclusion that the reason this season sucked was because of the whole Luke/Lorelai issue. Now, well I may agree a random kid popping out of nowhere was a little weird and made me question random people in my school if they have a daughter… (Long story, it proves I'm crazy and involves the word gyro) I do not agree that the Luke/Lorelai thing was un-necessary or uncalled for in anyway. Lets all remember, these are two very complex people with very complex lives, I mean, honestly, while everyone (including me) would have loved to see Luke and Lorelai get together and live a happy live right off, do you honestly think it would have happened? It would have been ridiculous and not like Gilmore Girls at all. So, before people ditch the show completely (I can name five people already) you have to remember, that Luke and Lorelai are made for each other and sooner or later the nail-biting and screaming at the top of your lungs to your TV will pay off. Oh yah, so this doesn't get too out of character of me… Chris… It, who cares what his name is, I don't like him, I never have. He is still a little punk kid who ditched his daughter numerous times, and if you don't believe me, let me take you back to the last episode where Chris took advantage of Lorelai at one of her most vulnerable times. Now, I no we still haven't received all the information yet, I'm pretty sure, and I'm sure you're pretty sure it was Chris' fault. I'm sorry to all those Chris/Lorelai fans out there, but I for one, am not one… and will never, ever be.
I would also like to say that LukeNLorelaifanatic, you gave me the main idea for this chapter, read your review and you will probably know how, and if you don't at the bottom of the page it will say, because if I said it now it would ruin the story.
And by the way, if you're still reading: congratulations.

(19)-Did you look Too Closely?
He never considered himself an emotional guy. Well, at some times, he had to admit, he did catch himself crying. When his mom died, then when his dad died. He thought he would never smile again, until Lorelai. When he and Lorelai broke up, yes, he had to admit there were tears, and the time Justin was born, when Lorelai was knocked out on drugs he did cry a little. But right now, tonight sitting in the emergency waiting room, he considered himself a very emotional guy.
"Ugh!" Lorelai sighed. She flipped through random channels.
"What?" Luke asked and joined her on the couch.
"I hate this! This sucks, I want to go to the town meeting, I want to go to the diner and have coffee." Lorelai said and finally threw the remote on the coffee table. Luke sighed. For some reason this pregnancy Lorelai was a lot more emotional then she was with Justin.
"Lorelai, it will all be worth it" Luke smiled. Lorelai blew a piece of her hair off her face.
"I'm going to the bathroom" Was her response. She got up and winced in pain grabbing her stomach and let out the most agonizing scream Luke had ever heard before, and noticed that Lorelai was bleeding. And that moment, Luke new it wasn't labor making her stomach hurt.
Since then it was a blur. He knew he called Rory, who called Richard and Emily, and drove Lorelai strait to the hospital as fast as he could, and by the time he got there Lorelai was very pale and complaining about feeling light headed. He remembered rushing her into the actual hospital where she fainted right in his arms, from there, she was taken god knows where and Luke couldn't do anything but wait.
Luke put his fingers up to his temples trying to maintain the massive stress headache that was building. Thank god Justin was at Sookie's this evening with Davey and Martha, Luke thought, he didn't know what he would do if he had to bring him along with him to the hospital. He glanced over at Rory who was holding a book to her face, obviously trying to read, but she was unsuccessful. Mia was sitting next to her, playing with her fingers in her lap. Rory tapped impatiently on the floor and occasionally glanced around the room.
"Mr. Danes?" A doctor in a white coat asked as he entered the waiting room.
"Yah, that's me" Luke said and shot up along with Rory and Mia, eager to hear some news.
"Are you all family?" He asked glancing between the three-sum.
"I'm her daughter, this is my… uh, Grandmother." Rory added the last part of the sentence quickly.
"Very well, okay, the testing is done and we think we have a pretty good idea what has happened" The doctor said and read off his clipboard "The tests show us that she is most likely suffering with Placenta Previa. It is a very un-common pregnancy complication; about one in two hundred pregnancies could be affected. You see what happened is Mrs. Gilmore's placenta moved and covered part of the cervix, that basically is why she was bleeding."
"So what does that mean, are Lorelai and the babies alright?" Luke asked eagerly.
"Right now, we don't know, I'm sorry, but we are doing everything we can to help them. Usually we would do steroid shots to speed up the growth of the babies' lungs and wait until there delivery date, but I understand Mrs. Gilmore is due in less than a week, so right now we are going to perform a cesarean section right away, and right now all we can do is pray." The doctor finished.
Luke wasn't satisfied with that. No, he didn't want to just pray for the babies. He wanted them to be all right, no complications. Right now. He considered himself an emotional man.

He followed the doctor down the long hallway, Rory right behind him. Mia had decided to stay and wait for Richard and Emily to arrive. They finally entered room 275 and walked in. The sight before Luke made his stomach turn. Lorelai was hooked up to machines with doctors and nurses surrounding her. Her face was pale and she was frantically looking around the room, obviously scared. All Luke did was walk over and hold her hand. Lorelai seamed to calm down a little bit.
Luke had never seen a cesarean section before, and frankly never, ever wanted to see it done again. Rory, acting like a little kid was hiding behind Luke not wanting to see anything that was being done to her Mom. Luke rapped a comforting arm around Rory.
"It's going to be okay," He whispered. Rory smiled in response.
"Okay, baby one is a girl" The doctor said and handed it… her over to the nurse who was standing by to check the heart rate and how much the baby weighed. Luke was more worried when he saw her, he remembered Justin looking bigger than that. "Baby two, a girl as well" Lorelai was passed out on the drugs they were pumping into her body. Luke stood there watching the nurses and the doctor's frantically writing things down on the clipboard. "Put her in Intensive care now!" The doctor ordered and a nurse took one of the babies out of the room.
Luke could feel his heart beet in his head. This wasn't supposed to happen. Lorelai was supposed to go in on her due date, and have the twins who would be healthy and happy. Luke felt Rory grip his arm and that was all he remembered.

Luke awoke to someone shaking him. "Luke, Luke wake up." Rory said
Luke shot up, why was he lying in a hospital bed? From his sudden action he felt lightheaded and had a massive headache.
"What happened?" Luke questioned. Rory explained about him fainting just after the babies were born.
"Mom's waking up now, they just told me I could go in. Can you come with me please?" Rory pleaded and Luke got up.
"Are the babies okay?"
"Well, the doctor came in and told me baby two is doing okay, they said she is a little small for a normal baby, but she should be alright. Baby one they said is having trouble breathing on her own, she's still in the intensive care unit." Luke exhaled loudly. Right now all he wanted to do was go and see Lorelai. He started to get up but got a head rush making him sit down again.
"I can go see mom and tell you how she's doing if you wanna lay back down," Rory said
"No, I'm fine, lets go" Luke said and got up. He glanced at the door behind him, 345, which meant he was on a different floor than Lorelai.
The elevator was the longest two minutes of his life. So many questions going threw his head. Was it his fault Lorelai was going threw this? Did he not stay home long enough with her? Were the babies going to be okay? Was she going to be okay? He wouldn't be able to live without Lorelai. When they had a fight, or broke up, he was a mess. He needed her there with him, to make him smile with a reference or Joke that he never understood.
He could tell Rory was worried too. She was just like Lorelai in so many ways. When Lorelai was upset, mad or worried, usually after a Friday night dinner, her eyes were a deep, dark shade of blue. When she was happy, cheerful or had astronomical amount of coffee her eyes were a light, almost transparent shade of blue. Right now, Rory's eyes were the deepest shade of blue Luke had ever seen.
The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Room 214, Luke remembered Lorelai was in 275, on the other side of the hospital. Both he and Rory did a very fast walk down the halls.
"Hey" Luke said as he entered Lorelai's room, he almost ran to her side. Her eyes looked tired.
"Hey" She said quietly. "Are the babies okay? Did you see them yet?"
Luke shook his head. Lorelai had tears in her eyes and Luke pulled her into a hug. She mumbled into his shoulder, "I didn't even get to hold them yet."
"It's okay, the doctors said that one is okay and we should be able to see her soon."
"Her?" Lorelai asked. Right, Luke thought, Lorelai was knocked out on drugs, how could she remember.
"Yah, the babies, they're girls" Lorelai lit up into a smile. Luke released Lorelai seeing she calmed down and Rory hugged her mom.
"Darn it, I guess I'm not your favorite daughter anymore" Rory pretended to act hurt.
"Nuh-uh, you're always my number one" Rory and Lorelai smiled. "Luke I heard you passed out once the babies were born. Lorelai jokes "I guess you looked at them too quickly right?"
"Right," Luke lied. He wasn't going to tell Lorelai that right now he was scared to death of losing the baby. He didn't want to scare her. Right now she seemed almost happy, and he knew by mentioning the state of the one baby could upset her. "Okay, I'm going to go see if I can bring the baby to you and you can hold her, Rory you coming?"
"I'll stay here with mom" Luke nodded and left the room. Problem. He had absolutely no idea where he was going. A doctor walked by.
"Excuse me, do you know where I can find my kid?" Luke asked. He must have sounded insane.
"Well, we keep the babies in a room just up that hall" The doctor responded politely.
"Uh, thanks" Before he got out his thank-you the doctor was going down the hall.

Luke passed a window where you could see all the babies. He didn't see any baby under their last name so he continued down the hall to the maternity section's intensive care unit. There were about 12 babies in the room with doctors and nurses flooding the room. Luke looked eagerly around the room. Baby girl one Gilmore-Danes, and Baby girl two Gilmore-Danes were right next to each other. He looked into the tiny boxes to see the two smallest babies he had ever seen. One was hooked up to some wires and the other was just in her box sleeping. He saw Lorelai in both of the babies like he did with Jay, but he noticed these two had more of his features.
"May I help you?" A nurse with Blonde hair approached Luke.
"Uh, yah, these are my daughters, my wife is down the hall, she just wanted to know if she could hold one of them." The nurse read down the clipboard.
"Well, I can let her see this one," She said pointing at baby number one, the one that wasn't hooked up to the wires and machines, "But we'd still like to keep an eye on this little one." Luke looked at his feet and back at her
"Is she… going to, die?" Luke asked uneasily.
"We don't know, I'm sorry" The nurse responded as she took 'baby number one' and handed her to Luke. Right now, he felt like and emotional man.

"Crystal Rose Gilmore-Danes, and Emily Kate Gilmore-Danes, Emma for short, what-do-ya think?" Lorelai said as she entered the diner.
"Crystal…?" Luke thought. Emily was obviously short for her mother, Kate was what we were going to name Jay if he was a girl, Rose was my mother's name… Crystal was…
"It's a cute name don't cha think it sounds pretty?" Lorelai smiled. "If you don't like it you can change it, it's just a thought."
"Crystal Rose Gilmore-Danes and Emily Kate Gilmore, I like 'em" Luke said.
Luke's eyes shot open when he heard the screams of a baby and Lorelai's hands gripped his arm tighter. Baby number one was sleeping in the room with all the other babies, but baby number two was still not breathing on her own. The nurses crowded her and one of them changed the liquid that was going into her body. It had been two days since they were born, and number two wasn't doing well. He and Lorelai had stayed in the room right next to her for both days. Justin was at Sookie's. Thinking he was at a sleepover or something, he had no idea what was really happening at the hospital. Luke looked over at Lorelai. He hated seeing her like this, bags under her eyes, with tearstains down her face. He pulled her closer and kissed her on the forehead.
"It'll be okay," Luke said for about the billionth time in the last two days. Lorelai didn't respond, instead she put her head on Luke's shoulder. Luke was trying to be the strong guy, trying to keep Lorelai from breaking down, he had to do it, and he had to keep convincing himself it was going to be okay. All he did over the last two days was change the subject away from the babies, to coffee, Rory, anything, but he slowly gave up when every time he changed the subject, Lorelai would talk about the babies again.
"Do you still Like Crystal Rose and Emily Kate?" Luke asked. Lorelai simply nodded. "Lorelai?" Lorelai raised he head and looked at Luke. "You know that I'm going to do what ever it takes to make sure they're okay right?" She nodded again. "I love you and Rory and Justin and the twins, I would never let anything happen to you guys, I need you to know that"
"I do" Lorelai blubbered out.
"Good, I love you" Lorelai half smiled.
"I know" She said and buried her face back in his chest.
Emily/Crystal started rolling around, and the heart rate monitor changed its normal rhythm.
"What's going on?" Lorelai said and stood up.
The doctor wrote something on the clipboard.
"I asked, what is going on with my daughter?" Lorelai asked louder this time, still no answer.
"Lorelai, calm down, let the doctors do their jobs" Luke said pulling her back.
"Why don't you care?" Lorelai screamed at him.
"Lorelai!" Luke responded at the accusation.
"Our daughter could be dying but you don't even care!" Luke shook his head and pulled Lorelai out into the hall, away from the eyes of the other people in the room.
"What are you talking about?" He said one he shut the door.
"Out daughter is in there, she could be dying and you don't seem to care!" Lorelai shouted.
"Of course I care!" Luke responded wide-eyed.
"Well, you're not acting like it. Maybe because you already have a son, you're happy, you don't want two daughters"
"That is ridiculous Lorelai, you know I care about them, I'm trying to be strong for you" He defended him self. Lorelai exhaled and spoke in her normal tone.
"I just, I don't want her to die, it would break my heart." She said and started to tear up.
"Shh, It's okay Lorelai" Luke said and hugged her. He held her for a few minutes while she cried.
The door opening, and a nurse exciting into the hallway interrupted their 'moment'.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Gilmore, Mr. Danes?" The nurse asked them
"Yes, that's us, what's going on, how is she?" Luke blurted out.
"Actually, she is doing very well right now, she is breathing normally and on her own, we're going to keep her in intensive care for a day or so, and then she and her sister should be able to go home"
Lorelai smiled and started tear up; Luke put his arm around her and pulled her into a hung.

The first week went relatively smooth, Luke and Lorelai were aloud to take the twins home later that week, when they got home Rory had put the birth announcements in the Stars Hollow news paper.
Congratulations to Luke Danes and Lorelai Gilmore who were blessed with two beautiful, identical twin girls arriving to the world on Thursday, September 6th 2006. Emily Kate Gilmore-Danes was born at 10:30 p.m., followed closely by her sister, Crystal Rose Gilmore-Danes at 10:31 p.m. Emily and Crystal are welcomed with open arms by a sister, Rory, a brother, Justin and grandparents of Hartford Connecticut, Richard and Emily Gilmore. Congratulations.
Emily turned out to be the loudest, always crying, much to Lorelai's amusement. Rory, every chance she took, came home to watch Jay, Emma and Crystal, so Luke and Lorelai could have a break.

Okay. You guys have a choice here, I can skip ahead to when the kids are older, or I can do the next few months, it's up to you guys really, so help me out please.
(A/N)- Sorry about some of the facts, my friend's cousin's mother had Placenta Previa so that's where I got that, but if twins are born by a C-section, are they born at the exact same time? I don't know, if anyone knows can they tell me, thanks :)
Now. Anyone, everyone, I have received over one hundred reviews. (See rant at top of page) I am really happy I received over one hundred reviews, but while reading over them I realize most of the reviews are from the same people… (By the way, you guy's all rock!) And I love that because they are always long and I appreciate that. But can more people review please? It makes me write faster… and I'm not joking, I love opening up my e-mail in the morning and seeing lots of reviews, it makes me open word and start typing, when I get two or three after a day or so, I find I don't type as much, so please, if you have read or are reading this story please review. I don't care if its like a couple words, like that was good, or something like that, I just really, really like reviews.
Rant one over.
On to the next one, Okay, guess what starts tomorrow? School. Blah. I'm fourteen, well, in a month, but anyways, I'm starting high school, now, remembering anything from what my brothers said, high school involves lots of work, especially because I'm planning on signing up for Drama, Band and as many sports as I can, so… (Don't hate me) I may not be able to write and update as fast as I normally do. Although, if people send me lots of reviews, because I live near my school I can come home at lunch and write a chapter almost everyday, so remember, the more reviews, the more I write.
Word Count for this chapter: 3,873 (wow)
Did I reach my goal for longest chapter: cha.
Goal for next chapter: 4,000, depending on if I have time with school tomorrow… :(
Cool, by the way I just found out how to do something, ha, I'm so proud, look.
This story has: 14932 hits. Which means that 14932 people have read it… :)
And… it is the favorite story of 12 people, and on 49 people's alert lists.
Wow, thanks guys :D
