Guys are you serious? nearly 900 clicks and 6 reviews? This is a joke, right! I mean, does this story suck that much? Then tell me and I will stop writing immediately, cause there is nothing worse than a bad story which never ends.

On the other hand I have nearly a thousand constant clicks on every chapter ... so I really don't know what to think about this.

So, we do it like this: You write me a review for this chapter, or at least tell me "stop writing" if it sucks. If I don't get any reviews because this story is not even worth mentioning to me to finish it already, I won't finish it and won't post any chapters, because then I can use my time for something different and so can you.

So here we go again:

Chapter 23: Lucky girl

The time seemed to stand still for her while she watched the doctors from the outside through the glass window working on her husband. She had James arm grasped tightly and it hurt him, but he didn't say a word.

Lorelai saw how they gave him another injection and changed some settings on the machines.

"We stopped the infusion with the medicine which kept him in coma. You can go in now, he should be awake in approximately an hour " one of the doctors said when they emerged from Luke's room and passed Lorelai. She looked up to James and saw him smiling down at her.

"Go in, I will wait here if he wants to see me when he's awake" he told her and pushed er towards the door.

Nearly two hours later James opened the door to Luke's room and found a sobbing Lorelai on the bed.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"He doesn't wake up." she sobbed.

"He will wake up, Lorelai. But it takes time"he tried to soothe her.

"No,he won't. He knows that I am here and he hates me, that's why he is not waking up"

"Don't be stupid. Luke loves you. And he will wake up" James said.

"If he loves me then why is he lying there without showing any reaction? This is his payback for my inability to leave him alone and let him be!" she yelled. James grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her off the bed. With force he pushed her out the door and out of the room.

"You have to stop that! And you have to stop beating yourself up in front of Luke. He can hear you and it won't help him getting better and waking up if his wife is blaming herself. Get a grip, Lorelai! I know this is hard for you, but you can not go on like this! Luke and Sara need you now, more than ever before. You have to be strong for them. There is no possibility for you to be weak and break down. You have to stop blaming yourself, stop crying and start eating start being strong and start being there for them. You don't have to do it alone, we are all here: Your daughter, your parents, your friends and his friends. God, this whole town is there and helping you." James yelled t her, then took a deep breath.

"I think the best would be if you go to Sara, feed her, play with her and I stay here. I will tell you when Luke wakes up. You go and calm down" he said then in a much gentler tone.

"But I need him" she whispered and lowered her head.

"No, he needs you and you have to be aware of that. He really needs you now and he needs you to believe in him. Have faith, Lorelai" James gave her arm a squeeze and then went back into Luke's room, while Lorelai slowly trotted to Sara's room.

"Sara, look, you have to move two forward. One... two..", William explained his sister and moved the figure over the game-field.

"I have a one.. two...three...four" Laila said while she counted the eyes on the dice and then moved her yellow figure.

"Hey you three, what are you playing?" Lorelai asked them after she had watched her three kids for some time. Kirsten sat on a chair in a corner of the room and watched them. She was in the hospital nearly all day long and watched Sara while Lorelai was with Luke.

"Mommy, I think Sara is winning. Only one figure left in her house"William said excitedly.

"Really. That's our lucky-girl" Lorelai smiled and sat down on the bed and placed Laila in her lap and kissed Sara's forehead.

Kirsten, I will stay here. Thank you so much, but you can go home now" Lorelai turned to her friend.

"Lorelai,it's no problem, really. I can stay here",Kirsten answered.

"No, really. I would like to spend some time with these three. Alone. I hope you understand that."

"Of course I do. James has already gone home?"

"No, he is still with Luke"

"Then I will go and say goodbye to him before I go home."

"Okay. See you later and thanks again!"

"And then the prince kissed the princess and they lived happily ever after" Lorelai finished the book two hours later, while they kids listened to her every word.

"That's a stupid story mommy" William decided then and looked up at his mother.

"Not true. You're stupid" Laila said and rolled her eyes.

"Why is this a stupid story Will? I think it's a perfectly nice story" Lorelai said.

"It's too girly. With the prince and the princess and all the kissing in the end. yuck!"William said and made a face.

"You're crazy, Will! Don't you think he's crazy, baby?" Lorelai smiled at Sara and stroked over her cheek. Sara looked at her mother, then at her brother with her huge blue eyes.

Then again, she looked up at Lorelai and nodded slightly.

"See, even Sara thinks you're crazy, honey!" Lorelai laughed, hugged her daughter and kissed her. It had been the first visible reaction to anything since the accident.

"Girls" William huffed.

"My poor boy" Lorelai laughed and tickled him. William screeched and laughed. Laila laughed with her brother and her mother and when Lorelai looked at Sara she saw then even she had a little smile on her face.

"Are you hungry my babies?" Lorelai asked her children when they had calmed down.

"Yeah, I want a burger and fries!" William said.

"I don't know if they have something like that here"

"They do. Kirsten bought me a burger yesterday"Laila told Lorelai.

"Well, okay then. Three cheeseburger?" Lorelai asked.

"No, three cheeseburger and a chicken burger" William interjected.

"Health-nut!"Lorelai teased.

"Grease-junkie!" William shot back.

"But you two are okay with cheeseburger?" The girls nodded.

"Okay, then I go and grab them. You two wanna stay here or come with me?" Lorelai asked Laila and William

"Come with you!" Laila yelled and jumped off Sara's bed.

"I stay here and look after Sara" William decided.

"Is that okay, my baby?" Lorelai asked Sara. Sara nodded.

"Okay, then be good my sweetie" Lorelai gave her daughter a tender smile and a kiss on the forehead before she walked off with Laila on her hand.

"Mommy, when can we visit daddy?" Laila asked while they walked back to Sara's room.

"When he wakes up, princess. You're daddy is still asleep and we need to wait until, he wakes up."

"When will he wake up?"

"When he decides that he isn't tired anymore and the pain is gone."

"Why is he still tired? He has been asleep for so long, mommy.I want him to wake up!" Laila said forcefully.

"I want him to wake up, too. But we need to have patience and trust your daddy. He knows when the right time is for him to wake up. Okay?"

"Okay." Laila was quiet for a moment.

"Mommy?" she asked then.

"Yes?"

"I miss daddy and Sara" Laila said.

"I miss your daddy, too. But Sara is awake and she'll be home with us soon."

"I know, grandma told us. But Sara isn't talking. Is she mad with us?" the girl asked worried.

"No, princess, she is not mad with us. She got hurt pretty b in the accident and because the accident was so horrible for her, her brain decided that it is better for her to not speak until she is able to say funny and happy things again." Lorelai tried to explain the situation.

"When I tell her funny things will it help her?" Laila wanted to know.

"I don't know, but it won't hurt to try."

"Okay" Laila nodded.

"Hello, you two!" Emily's voice startled them both.

"Hello mom" Lorelai greeted her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hello grandma" Laila said and kissed her on the cheek also.

"What are you doing down here all alone? Where is William?" Emily wanted to know.

"He is with Sara, wanted to look after his sister while we are getting something to eat" Lorelai explained and opened the door to Sara's room.

"And then Meeko squeaked and ran after Barney who had the carrot. He chased him, grabbed the carrot with his teeth and ran. He hid under the couch and Barney was sad so i got him another carrot" William just finished his tale.

"Hello William, hello Sara" Emily greeted her grandchildren.

"Hi grandma!" William greeted her back.

"Mom, can you eat with them, I want to go and look after Luke again,It's been nearly three hours and I have an uneasy feeling."Lorelai held Emily back and whispered in her ear.

"Yes, of course. You go, I stay here until you are back."

"Thank you mom" Lorelai gave her a little smile and walked out of the room again.

Back at Luke's room, James was gone but instead Lorelai found Andy at her husband's bed.

"Hey Andy!" Lorelai greeted their friend quietly.

"Hey Lorelai" he greeted her back, stood up and kissed her on both cheeks.

"I go and wait outside"he said then.

"No,please stay, I can't stay long, the kids are waiting. I just had a strange feeling and needed to see him." she told Andy and went over to Luke's bed.

"Hey, hon'. I know you hate the word, but I felt a vibe and needed to see you again today. Sorry, if you're already sick of me, but I couldn't help it." she spoke to Luke and pressed some kisses on his cheek.

"Tomorrow I will give you another shave, your stubble is getting too long." she stroked with her right hand over Luke's stubbly cheek.

"Now that I know that you're all right I will leave you guys alone again. Bye hon'" she said and kissed his forehead. She let go of his hand with her left hand when a shrill beeping sound started and several monitor started to blink red.

"Oh god, Luke! Luke!" Lorelai yelled and grabbed his hand again.

"Miss, please step back!" a nurse said and pulled her back by the shoulders.

"No,Luke!" Lorelai screamed hysterically and Andy grabbed her by the shoulders to keep her away from the bed so that the doctor who was changing some things on the monitors, could do his job. He examined Luke shortly and said some things in Latin to the nurse.

"Do something! He can't die!" Lorelai yelled at the medicine.

"Miss you need to calm down!" the nurse said over her shoulder to Lorelai.

"Mrs, I am MRS Danes!" Lorelai yelled back and saw how the doctor extubated her husband.

"What are you doing? No! He can't die !Luke!" Lorelai tried to get out of Andy's grasp and get to Luke.

"Lorelai!" Andy yelled and shook her.

"Look, his heart is beating, he is NOT dead!" he told her forcefully and pointed to the screen which monitored his Luke's heartbeat.

Lorelai stared at the green lines at the screen, how they rose and fell in a steady rhythm.

"But..." she said in a normal tone.

"Mrs. Danes your husband started to breathe against the machines. That's a good thing. He is able now to breathe on his own again and the intubation will no longer be needed." The medicine told her.

"Is he waking up?" Lorelai asked with teary eyes.

"We don't know, but it's a step in the right direction" the doctor said and left the room.
