I don't own Gilmore girls.
He sat by her bedside. The Dr. had said the surgery went well but still it had been an hour and she hadn't woken up. The Doctors were watching her closely hoping she'd wake up soon. And Jess sat on the edge of his seat fighting the urge to bolt. He looked towards the door. He knew Lorelai and Luke should be there soon so he got up and walked out into the waiting room. Just as he turned the corner he found a blur coming towards him.
"Jess." Lorelai shouted sitting the younger man walk around the corner. She didn't even stop herself from hugging him. Jess felt a few tears land on his shirt as he hugged her back. "How is she?" Lorelai pulled back trying to hold the rest of her tears in.
"She's out of Surgery and the Doctors say It went well she hasn't woken up yet but well it's a bit worrisome they are watching her and figure she'll wake up soon. Here I'll take you to her." He led them back down the hall towards the room he just exited. Lorelai rushed around him and into the room. Luke went to follow her but Jess stood in the door way. "I…. I'm going to get some air I'll be back. How about I go and get some food for all of us."
Luke looked at his Nephew and then down at his girlfriend who was clutching her daughter's hand. "I'll come with you." He bend down and kissed Lorelai's forehead. "I'll be back." He whispered before turning and heading towards Jess. The two men walked out of the hospital silently. Jess stopped almost looking lost. "What's wrong?"
Jess shook his head. "Nothing I just remembered I didn't drive here I took the ambulance with Rory." With those words the image of Rory on the stretcher flashed through his mind.
"No big deal we'll take my truck it's over here." Luke said walking towards where he'd parked. It was silent once again as they climbed into the truck. "So where should we go?"
"There is a good Diner down the street burgers will be good for Lorelai."
Luke just nodded turning the truck as Jess told him to until they reached the diner. Jess hopped out and went to go in to order. "Here." Luke pulled out money and tried to hand it to Jess."
"No." Jess shook his head.
"Yes jess." Luke pushed the money into his hand and he took it reluctantly heading into the diner.
At the hospital Lorelai sat at her daughter's bedside watching her. Her baby looked fine but Lorelai knew that really she wasn't that the scar and the bandages were covered up by the blankets. She felt her phone vibrate and she looked down at it. Seeing her mother's name come up she cursed she'd forgotten today was Friday.
"Hello." She answered trying to sound normal.
"Lorelai where are you you're half an hour late if you weren't planning on coming you should have called this is just rude."
"Mom, I'm sorry I'm in Philadelphia."
"Philadelphia why in the world?" Emily screeched.
"Mom please." Lorelai cradled her head in her hands wanting to drop the phone. "Mom Rory was in an accident. I just got to the hospital she had a cracked rib and a partially collapsed lung. She's out of surgery now but she still is asleep. We're waiting for her to wake up right now.
"What why in the world wouldn't you call and let us know something like this Lorelai."
"I'm sorry mom in frantic rush to get here I didn't even think about calling anyone all I cared about was getting to my daughter. "
"Yes well we're on our way. Which hospital?"
Lorelai gave her the information before disconnecting the call. She looked back over at her daughter. "Oh baby please wake up." She whispered.
Jess and Luke walked into the room to see Lorelai holding Rory's hand. "We brought you some food." Luke handed her a burger fries and coffee.
"Thanks." She looked at the two men in the room with. "Thanks both of you for everything." She sighed. "My parents are on their way. I forgot today was Friday."
"Should I leave?" Jess asked putting his own Burger down.
"No." Lorelai shook her head. "No, Rory may not know that you were there when she was taken here but she'd want you here when she wakes up. I want you here." Jess only nodded. As he went back to eating. "I should probably call Chris." Lorelai stood up and sent one more look towards her daughter. "I'll be right back."
"You okay?" Luke asked looking over at Jess."
"Yeah I'm fine and I'll stay, for Rory and for Lorelai."
"You've really grown up Jess." Luke said.
"I like to think so."
Lorelai stood in the hall dreading having to make the phone call she knew she had to make but he was her father and he deserved to know she was hurt. If he came or not that was another story.
A/N thanks for all the amazing reviews I never thought this story would get such a reaction. Next up the Gilmore's come and Lorelai calls Christopher.
