A/N: This is my first FanFiction and I've written it with Camilla (TheCarbyLover). Since she asked me if I wanted to write it with her, and I said I would love to write it with her. So here's the first Chapter.

Chapter one:

Lorelai arrived home, hoping Rory was already there. The day had started out as a good day, but now… it was the worst day of her life.

"Rory?" She called out.

She walked into Rory's room. She's not home, yet! She thought to herself. She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge and got herself a bottle of water. Then she walked upstairs to her room. She sat down on her bed. When she felt the tears forming in her eyes, she threw the bottle against the wall and broke down crying.

Later…

"Mom?" Rory called out once she was inside. "Mom, I'm home." She walked into her room and dropped her bag. She then walked into the living room to check if her mom was there. She wasn't. "Mom? Are you here?" She asked as she began to walk upstairs. When she got up, she heard a sob coming from her mother's bedroom. She walked in and saw her mother lying on the bed (with her back towards Rory) crying. "Mom?" She said as she sat down behind her. "What's wrong?"

"He's gone." Lorelai said.

"Who's gone? Max?"

Lorelai shook her head. "No. Not Max."

"Then… who?" Lorelai sighed long and hard and didn't answer Rory's question. "Mom, who's gone?"

Lorelai turned and looked Rory in the eyes. "Luke. Luke's gone." When she'd said this, she turned around and cried even harder.

"Mom, what happened?"

"I can't… I can't right now."

For a while Rory just sad there on the bed, and tried to understand what her mother had just told her. Was Luke really gone? She thought to herself.

"Mom, what happened? What do you mean when you say that he's gone?" Rory tried again, knowing that she probably wouldn't get an answer.

"Rory…" Lorelai started but then started to cry again, almost harder than before.

Rory couldn't believe this. She wanted answers from Lorelai. But still, she knew that pushing her mom to answer wouldn't help. Then she lied down beside Lorelai and hugged her.

After a couple of hours of lying there crying, Lorelai's tears and sobbing had finally started to subside. Lorelai turned around and wiped the rest of the tears away.

"Are you feeling better?" Rory asked her mom.

"A little." Lorelai said as she felt another tear forming in her eye.

"Ready to tell me what happened?"

The tears began coming again, but she was determined to finally answer Rory. She'd been waiting for too long. "Umm… I got a call from the hospital in Hartford. They said… they told me that Luke had been in an accident on the highway. He's dead, Rory. He's dead!" She began to cry again. Rory couldn't believe her own ears.

Is Luke dead? He can't be dead! She thought to herself."No!" She said with a shaky voice. "Honey…" She started crying again. The tears that didn't make Rory cry before now made her cry harder than ever. Lorelai hugged her.

"I can't, Rory. I can't go through with it." Lorelai said trying to hold back the tears.

"With what?"

"The wedding. I can't do it."

"Have you talked to Max about this?"

"No."

They pulled away and they both lied down holding each other. Suddenly Lorelai realized that she had promised the doctor she'd be there.

"Oh my god." She said as she got up. "We gotta go!"

"Go? Go where?"

"The hospital. I told the doctor I would come before they turned off the ventilator."

"He's on a ventilator? So, he's not completely dead yet. We can still hope for a miracle!" Rory said hopeful.

"Oh, honey… I know you really wanna believe that, but we just have to face it that he's gone. But now we have to go and say goodbye to him."

Rory got up and left with her mom. They got out to the car and drove to the hospital in Hartford. They both had tears running down their cheeks.

While Lorelai was driving, Rory couldn't believe this was happening. This really wasn't some kind of sick joke. It was real. She felt a tear running down her cheek. Was Jess gonna come to the funeral? If he did, should she hug him? Or should they even talk to each other? Rory suddenly got mad at herself. Here she was, thinking about Jess when Luke was at the hospital on a ventilator.

Lorelai knew that the miracle, Rory had spoken about, wasn't going to happen, but she couldn't help but think, what if? Would it even be possible? Man, why don't I watch those hospital shows! I have to do that from now on! She thought. She didn't want to say goodbye to Luke now. Not now, not when she should be about to get married. What was Max going to say when she announced to him that she couldn't go through with it? And second of all, it was way too soon. It wasn't his time yet! According to Lorelai!

"Mom, aren't we there soon?" Rory asked.

"Soon, Rory." Lorelai answered.

"What will happen when we get there?" Rory asked her mom, feeling another tear in her eye.

"We'll see when we get there, honey. Don't be too worried about it."

"Mom! How can you say that?" She nearly shouted out in the car.

"I was… I was just trying to calm you down." Lorelai answered with a very insecure voice. Lorelai, who used to be so sure of herself. She was losing it!

"I can't calm down! Luke is dead, mom! Dead!"

"I know, Rory. Don't you think I know that!" She pulled in to the side of the road.

Rory got a confused look. But she knew what was going on the minute her mom cracked down. Maybe I was a bit too hard on her! Rory thought.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean those things to come out like that."

"It's okay, Rory." Lorelai answered her, crying.

"No, mom…" Rory said a little helpless while comforting her mom.

"It is, Rory. Damn it! I just need a minute, okay? Or many minutes. Why do those doctors think a person can handle this with so little time?"

After a couple of minutes, they drove out on the road again. They were quiet the rest of the way.

"So…" Rory began.

"This is it." Lorelai finished the sentence.

They were in the car outside the hospital. They got out of the car and slowly walked towards the hospital. When they got inside, everything was like in slow motion. They looked around and then walked to the admit desk.

"Umm… I'm Lorelai Gilmore. I'm here to see Luke Danes."

"Just a sec." The lady behind the desk responded.

"Okay." Lorelai could get it out.

After they were told which room Luke was in, they walked down the hall to Luke's room.

"I hate when people look at me that way! Did you see the way she was looking at me?" Lorelai was talking unstoppable.

"Yes, I did, mom. Now try not to talk so much when we go in, okay?"

"I don't talk much right now. If I was talking much, I would be talking much more! God, I am talking all the time."

"Mom!"

"Okay!"

By then they were outside the room Luke was lying in on a ventilator. Lorelai was about to open the door, but stopped.

"Are we ready for this?"
