Part 7 'Juiceboxes and Doctors'"Do you think we should go back yet?" Jack asked Adam as they finished their coffee and threw the polystyrene cups in the trash
"No, I'd say another half an hour" Adam suggested, looking down at Levi who was biting the straw from his juice cup
"Yeah good idea" Jack said smiling at Levi as he watched him fight to get some thing out of the juicebox
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"You think he'll wake up?" Rory and Logan were calmer now. Rory figured that all of the shouting was just something that they needed to get over, since they hadn't had a real conversation since the day Rory left Logan's house and never came back.
"I hope so" Logan replied, in a peaceful way.
Benny had gone back to sleep now, Eden too, and Jack, Adam and Levi still hadn't come back from getting coffee.
"I'm sorry" Rory said, quietly, just a whisper, but it meant so much to Logan that he felt silence was the best was to acknowledge it, words always screwed things up in his opinion.
Rory knew exactly what Logan was thinking, he didn't even have to say that he had forgiven her, or that he was sorry too, she just sort of knew.
As Logan and Rory stood there, watching Dylan as he lay, completely still a doctor apperead, neither Logan nor Rory noticing him.
"Excuse me" the doctor spoke very professionally
"Oh, sorry" Logan quickly turned around, followed by Rory
"I've been appointed to be Dylan's doctor, I will discuss with you anything you want and inform you of everything that you need to know and more"
"Thank you so much" Rory said, she was really grateful for the doctor being there to tell them what was going on, after all, she hadn't managed to get anything out of Logan.
"Shall we talk here" the doctor looked over to Benny and Eden who were sleeping soundly, "or would you like to talk in my office"
Logan and Rory looked at one and other, and Logan answered "your office would be best"
"Of course, follow me, will they be ok there? The doctor asked
"Sure, Benny should be fine, what about Eden, ace?" logan knew he was being daring by saying ace, it had been years since he had called Rory ace, ever since she told him not to that night in New York.
"I'll bring Eden" Rory didn't say anything to Logan about calling her ace, all she did was smile at him, then scooped up Eden into her arms, and followed the doctor along the corridor, away from Dylan
They arrived at a small office at the end of one of the many twisting and turning corridors in the hospital.
"Please sit down" the doctor offered.
Rory sat down in one of the chairs in front o the doctor's office desk; Eden lay out of her lap. Logan sat down next to her, watching Eden as she slept.
The doctor sat at his desk and turned to face Logan and Rory
"Ok, so I'm going to start by explaining what exactly is wrong with Dylan. When the vehicle hit Dylan, it pierced the skin on his arm, and the bone pushed through, now he will have to have surgery to have that fixed, however we cannot operate until he revives from him coma. Now normally a coma is always treated as very serious and sometimes they can last weeks and months, however in Dylan's case, it is mainly a shock coma and it will most likely only be a few days before he wakes up as he is not in a very deep sleep. When Dylan wakes up, we will operate on his arm and then he will probably have to stay in hospital for a few weeks because all patients do after coming round, after a being in a coma, no matter how long for. Any questions" the doctor spoke as if he had done this many times before, making Rory and Logan feel that Dylan was safe in his hands.
"Well, just one, is that all that's wrong, because when the ambulance arrived they seemed to say a lot more" Logan seemed both relieved and concerned at the same time.
"Well, Dylan did loose a lot of blood and there will need to be a lot of regular check ups and appointments to settle that. Dylan may also need some therapy, after all he is only 3 years old and something like this could scar him for life, he could be frightened of ever going near trams and cars ever again. Apart from that he should be ok, but it is still very early and we wont be able to tell if there was any damage to the brain until he wakes up" the doctor seemed to be doing his best and both Rory and Logan appreciated him for that, but they were just concerned.
"Thank you so much" Rory said, wanting the doctor to know how much they were grateful
"Yes thank you" Logan said following Rory's lead "what do we do now then?"
"Well all we can do at the moment is wait from him to wake up. When he does I will come by and see you, and then we will talk dates and lengths of time and all kinds of things that Dylan will need to help him recover. Until then, I suggest the 2 of you deal with the press that have been hounding the hospital with calls and standing outside the entrances waiting for some kind of statement." The doctor said closing the paper folder he had had open, presumably holding Dylan's records.
"Well thank you so much and we'll see you when Dylan wakes up" Rory said, standing up with Eden still sleeping in her arms
"Yes thank you, well see you soon hopefully," Logan said as he held the door open for Rory to exit.
"Yes goodbye" the doctor waved from his chair, Logan and Rory left, closing the door behind them.
"So, what do you think?" Rory wasn't really sure what to say, but she knew the walk back was going to be long and that she couldn't face it being silent too.
"I don't know what to think, I just cant take it all in right now" Logan was walking like a zombie, he looked like he was hung over and seriously depressed.
"Look at it like this, It may be a tragedy what happened to Dylan, but it brought us together right?" Rory smiled at Logan, just a little smiled, but it was one of those smiles that said so much more that words could ever say.
"Yeah, yeah it did" Logan didn't need to give his signature smile for Rory to know he felt exactly the same way, but he did it anyway, just because he knew it made Rory melt inside.

"Luke, did that sign say California or was it just me dreaming" Lorelai asked. She had been asleep for what seemed like days, but had in fact only been a few hours
"No it said Connecticut" Luke stated
"But we just crossed the state line" Lorelai moaned in a sleepy voice
"Yes I know, but that sign was going in the other direction" Luke explained
So then where are we?" Lorelai sat up and looked around outside, puzzled.
"Well certainly not California" Luke said, looking a little frustrated
"You don't know where we are" lorelai was shocked
"No, I know where we are" Luke was almost yelling at Lorelai now
"What's wrong Lukey?" Lorelai asked, she was being deadly serious, she had just got used to calling Luke, Lukey.
"Nothing" Luke said, turning his attention back onto the darkened road.
"Whatever you say" Lorelai said, knowing that at any second Luke would blow up and start ranting about whatever it was making him angry. It was almost like a game to lorelai, how long before she could get Luke to rant.
"How can you just come to the diner and shout at me, telling me were going to California and you'll tell me why on the way, and then not tell me! And the other day when you got upset about Rory, I thought we'd broken up, again!" Luke started and Lorelai could tell that this was not a humorous rant by far, this was something that had been growing inside of Luke ever since the day she left him at the altar.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"If anyone has any objections to this marriage please speak now or forever hold your peace" the vicar recited
Lorelai stood, her hair beautifully tumbling down her back, a beautiful wedding dress on. She looked to Luke, who was wearing his best suit and the biggest happiest smile she had ever seen plastered on his face. She looked over to Sookie, standing beside her as her bridesmaid. Then she looked into the congregation, to all of their guests. Jackson with Martha and Davey. Kirk, Miss Patty and Taylor. Babette and Maury were sitting with Gypsy and Andrew. Lane and Zach were even there. Lorelai didn't know if Lane had spoken to Rory since she had left, she hadn't even asked. Michel was there, Al and Tom sat smartly in their suits at the back, their wives next to them. Brian was there too, next to Lane and Zach and even Mrs Kim. Caesar sat next to Liz, TJ and Jess.
Lorelai was surprised when Luke had wanted to invite Jess but she had gone along with it, mainly because never thought Jess would turn up. But when he had turned up and she had seen him, watching her as she had walked down the aisle, so many memories came rushing back to Lorelai, memories of Rory, back when she was still at home, back when she was in high school. Lorelai wanted nothing more than to go back to those days, those days when Rory was her everything and she would of done anything to make her happy. It then hit Lorelai how much she had messed up, why couldn't she just have agreed with Rory and let her take time of Yale, Lorelai knew she would have gone back and graduated, she just had to be stubborn. It then made Lorelai realise, she didn't want to be here, doing this, she wanted to be away, she wanted to be with Rory, helping her deal with things, she didn't want to marry Luke if the one thing she loved the most, wasn't even there.
All of a sudden, Lorelai started to ru,n she ran back down the aisle, away from Luke, past everyone and out of the doors of the Stars Hollow church. She continued to run, through the town square, down the street until she reached her house, she was still in her wedding dress when she got into her car and began to drive. She drove around the square and watched as Luke and Sookie ran out of church and then stopped when they saw her driving off.
Lorelai drove and drove for days on end. She stopped eventually when she reached the Nevada/California border. She knew that if she crossed the border and went into California, she would be where her Rory was, exactly what she thought she wanted. But when she went to start the engine again, to cross the border, she couldn't do it. She couldn't cross the border. So she sat there and eventually, after hours of trying to move, she just turned around and drove away, back to Stars Hollow. As she drove she cried, she really had messed everything up now.
