Nine Months Later…

Lorelai walks into the diner, well sort of waddling, and goes to the counter. She does not have a good look on her face.

"What's up with you" Luke asks kind of worried

"Well, lets see, I'm nine months pregnant, haven't had coffee since I could see my feet, and Rory is wanting me constantly so doesn't help that I move at a snails speed." Lorelai explains to him

"Well, I think I may have something to help with one of your problems" Luke says and heads upstairs.

While he is looking around for a couple new books for Rory and some hot chocolate, he hears a loud commotion coming from the diner. When he gets down he sees a lot of people surround around in a circle near the counter. Some are bent down, so Luke goes to see what all the fuss is about. He breaks them up to find Lorelai, on the ground, unconscious. He bends down next to her faster then you would believe. "What happened?" He asks to anyone around him. He is staring down at her with pure worry in his eyes. Like his heart is in his throat. When no one answers, he looks up and says sternly to Babette. "What happened?" he asks slowly.

"Well sugar, you went upstairs and she was going to follow you but it looked like she got a dizzy spell, so she was going to sit back down, when she just went, BAM, down harder then I could keep track of" she explains.

All Luke can think of is getting both Lorelai and his baby help, so he picks her up and heads to his truck.

When they get to the hospital, Luke is in a frenzy to get some help; he's calling for every doctor in sight.

Luke paced in the hall way for about half an hour wondering if Lorelai was going to be all right, if his baby was ok, he never realized that he could love someone so much, and he hasn't even her him/her.

The doctor finally came out. "Mr. Danes?"

Luke went up right away "How is she? Is he going to be ok? How's the baby?" he asks all in one breath.

"Your wife is going to be fine" Luke goes right past the wife part. "The baby, although, is in great stress right now, were thinking that the cord is wrapped around the baby's throat"

"Well, what does that mean?" Luke asks worriedly.

"It means that you wife is going to have to give birth as soon as possible or your baby's not going to make it." The doctor says as gently as possible.

Luke nods his head in agreement and heads off to Lorelai's room.

Lorelai is laying on the bed, tears rolling down her face.

"I suppose that the doctor already told you" Luke says as he sits by her bed.

"I don't want to loose this baby, Luke. I can't." Lorelai says as she looks up at him.

"We won't" Luke sternly says to her.

Then the doctor comes in and says to Lorelai, "Are you ready to have this baby?"
