Love will ALWAYS Find a Way.

a/n: Here's another update…Twice in one day…Go me! A few weeks have past since the twins were born…

Miracles, Signs and Wonders:

It was Friday night, and Lori sat at home by herself.

Her family was at Friday night dinner and Kurtis and Averie were out of town.

Her and Ray were no longer on good terms. He had kept pressuring her, and when she said no…He stopped calling. According to Averie, he was dating someone. Lori hadn't talked to him in months.

She flipped through the channels nonchalantly.

It was the twins first Friday night dinner.

Rory rang the doorbell.

The maid answered and took all their coats.

"Hello, Lorelai, Luke," Richard hugged his daughter then shook his son-in-law's hand, "Rory, Tristan."

"Hey, Grandpa," Rory hugged him, "Grandma."

Emily looked distant.

"What's wrong, Mom?" Lorelai asked.

"Nothing," Emily shook her head, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Beer," Luke answered.

"Water," Both Rory and Tristan replied.

"Lorelai, why don't you come with me?" Emily said more as a demand than a question.

"Okay," Lorelai handed Larissa to Rory.

Emily led Lorelai out of the room.

"How is she?" Emily questioned truly concerned.

"Um, fine," Lorelai answered quite confused.

"I feel terrible for the things I said to her. She wouldn't even look at me at the hospital. Not that I blame her," Emily was close to tears.

"She's just really confused right now. Maybe you should talk to her," Lorelai offered.

"She doesn't want to talk to me," Emily said as she poured the drinks.

"Mom, just try," Lorelai left the room.

Emily entered a little later with the drinks with a fake smile plastered on her face.

Everyone amused themselves with Landon, Larissa and Lance.

"Dinner is ready," The maid called.

They made their way to the table.

The meal was eaten in silence.

The Gilmore-Danes family left almost immediately after dinner.

The family stopped by the Crap Shack to check on Lori.

They let themselves in and found Lori sound asleep on the couch.

"Lori, honey, wake up," Lorelai shook her gently.

"Hmm," Lori's eyes fluttered.

That's when Lorelai's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" "What!" "He was fine a few minutes ago." "We'll be there!" Lorelai panicked.

"What happened?" Luke asked grabbing her trying to calm her down.

"Dad's in the hospital. He's not breathing," Lorelai cried.

"What!" Lori immediately sat up.

"Okay, Tristan, take them to the hospital," Luke said, "I'll take the kids to Sookie and Jackson's and meet you there."

Lorelai nodded with tears falling down her face.

Rory was crying and Lori was too shocked to do anything.

Tristan pulled Rory close to him and led the Gilmore-Danes girls to the car.

They arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later.

"Mom!" Lorelai called when she saw her mother.

"Oh, thank heavens you're here," Emily hugged her daughter.

"What happened?" Rory asked.

"We were getting ready for bed when his face went pale, then he fell," Emily cried.

Her daughter and granddaughters were appalled; they had never seen her like this.

"What's going on?" Lorelai questioned.

"They're running some test," Emily sat down, "I'm scared, Lorelai."

There was an eerie silence that over took the people.

Lorelai went over to Emily and comforted her the best she could.

Rory pulled into Tristan and wept.

And for the first time, Lori let out a sob.

Lori rushed over to Emily, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said when I said I didn't want you and Grandpa in my life. I'm so, so, so, so sorry."

"Lori, we're the ones that should be sorry," Emily patted Lori's hand, "We pushed you to that decision. I'm sorry."

Lori sat on her knees in front of Emily and rested her head in her lap.

"I can't loose him," Lori repeated a few times.

"I can't either," Emily agreed running her fingers thru her granddaughter's hair.

She had never been this close to either Rory or Lori, but it felt good to be needed and wanted.

Luke came rushing up not too long later and wrapped a weeping Lorelai in his arms.

He looked at Emily and Lori in amazement.

A nurse came out of Richard's room; Lori and Emily stood up and wiped away tears.

"How is he?" Lori asked quickly.

"He's breathing now. It appears that he had a stroke. Things aren't looking good," The nurse gave a sympathetic smile.

"C-can we see him?" Lori stammered.

"If you wish."

Everyone looked around silently.

Emily rubbed Lori's back, "Why don't you go first."

Lori gave a weak smile and went into the room.

When she saw him, she sobbed. He looked so weak lying there.

"Grandpa, it's me Lori," she started after calming down a bit, "I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm sorry about what I said."

She walked closer to the bed.

"I want you in Gracie's life. I want you in mine. I love you so much, Grandpa."

By this time Emily had opened the door, but Lori didn't notice.

Lori took Richard's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"Move for Grandpa, Grace. I want him to feel you," Lori said quietly.

Emily blinked back tears.

Lori felt Gracie move, and apparently so did Richard.

Richard's eyes opened.

Lori looked at him.

"I love you, too," Richard said weakly.

Emily came up to Lori and hugged her.

A nurse came in the room hurriedly.

Luke, Lorelai, Rory and Tristan wondered what was going on.

Lorelai immediately thought of the worst and buried her face in Luke's chest.

Rory did the same to Tristan.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but your husband has made a remarkable recovery," the nurse to Emily, "he should be home in a few days."

Lori and Emily both smiled big.

"Did you hear that Gracie?" Lori said to her stomach, "You save Grandpa's life."

Richard's grin was still weak, "And I'll thank her everyday for it."

Emily walked to the door and called the others in, "Grace saved him."

"She sure did," Lori beamed.

The confusion left the other's minds. They had thought Emily was referring to God's grace…Not baby Grace.

"So, what's her full name going to be?" Emily asked sitting in a chair close to her husband.

"Lorelai Grace Mariano," Lori answered.

"I like it," Emily and Richard smiled.

Lori walked to her mother; Lorelai enveloped her in a hug.

"Oh, my God!" Lori screamed scaring the others.

"What's wrong?" Luke panicked.

"AHH!" Lori clutched at her stomach.

Lori felt her pants become wet.

"I think my water broke," Lori said before another yelp of pain.

"Get a doctor!" Emily yelled.

Tristan left the room to get someone.

The nurse came running in with a wheel chair.

They rushed her to the maternity ward.

"Mom! It's too early!" Lori cried as they pushed her onto a bed.

"It's gunna be okay, hun," Lorelai grabbed Lori's hand.

"Damn it! This hurts!" Lori screamed.

"Okay, Lori, Push!" Dr. Bellard said.

"AHH!" Lori screamed and squeezed her mother's hand unbearably tight.

Lorelai let out a slight yelp.

Lori pushed again.

"She's almost out! One more big push!" Dr. Bellard instructed.

"I can't. It hurts," Lori cried.

"It's almost over, babe. One more push. C'mon," Lorelai coached.

Lori pushed as hard as she could.

"Lori, you are now the mother of a beautiful baby girl," Dr. Bellard smiled.

After the baby was cleaned up she was wrapped in a pink blanket and handed to her mother.

"She's beautiful, Lori," Lorelai smiled.

"She looks like him," Lori said almost sadly.

Lorelai Grace Mariano had dark brown hair and tan skin. Her eyes were brown with specks of green in them.

"Yeah, she does."

a/n: Whatcha think? Sorry, I really wanted Lori to have a relationship with Emily and Richard. I think grandparents and grandchildren should get along...R&R please!

Coming up: It'll be almost a year later. But it will be in New York…UH-OH…
