Back at Hartford memorial
Rory and Emily were walking into the room, and saw Richard asleep, holding Lorelai. They had a little smile on their faces, seeing something that they hadn't seen before, but a little concerned as to what happened for him to be holding Lorelai. As they took there seats, Richard woke up.
"What happened" Rory quietly said
"She woke up. She asked, so I told her about the baby. She also told me the reason why she turned up at the house upset last night" Richard said, looking between Rory and Emily.
"Why" was all Emily could say
"Well, after the dinner, she spoke to that therapist you were trying to set Christopher up with, then she went to Luke. She told him that she wanted to marry him now, he said no. she didn't want to be alone on the house, so she came to us" Richard said quietly, as to not wake Lorelai up.
"Oh my" was all Emily could say.
Rory was stunned. She couldn't believe that Luke could ever really say no to Lorelai. Especially to marrying her. They all sat there just watching her. Richard still sitting there holding onto Lorelai, not that he could move anyway, Lorelai had a firm hold of him. About half an hour later, Lorelai started to stir.
"Dad. Your still here" Lorelai said
"Of course I'm still here. Rory is here, and so is your mother" Richard replied, with a little smile on his face.
"Rory, mum. You're here. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for not telling anyone." Lorelai cried
"Shhhh….I already told you. You have nothing to be sorry for. Nothing is your fault." Richard said, trying to calm Lorelai.
Lorelai stopped crying, but kept a firm hold of Richard. She felt warm, she felt safe, she felt content. Something she didn't feel with any one else other than Luke. Richard and Emily decided to leave, wanting to get a little rest, so that they could come back the next day, but also letting a little mother daughter time between Lorelai and Rory. After they said there good byes, Rory looked at her mother, with concerned, but also scared eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. See, I'm talking, and awake. There nothing to be scared about" Lorelai said. She knew that face that Rory had.
"But mum, something could have happened. Well, something did, but it could have been worse. Why didn't you call me when you were upset?" was all rory could say
"I knew that you had an exam, and I didn't want to bother you. Besides, it's ok. I'm fine. I'm going to look at the bright side and see that at least I didn't have to do it by myself again" Lorelai said sadly.
"Don't say that mum. You wouldn't have done it by yourself, and I know you. You would have been great, and I know that you're more upset about it then you're letting on. Don't put that act on me. I know you to well" Rory said
With that, Lorelai started to cry. She knew that Rory was right. She was trying to put a brave face on for Rory. Rory sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Lorelai.
"I'm a terrible mother. I let my baby die. How could I." was all that Lorelai could say through her tears. She was more hurt about the loss of the baby than of Luke. It took awhile for Rory to calm Lorelai down. Just as she had calmed her down, the doctor walked through the door.
"How are we feeling at the moment Ms Gilmore?"
"Pretty good considering, I know about the baby. When can I go home?"
"Well, I would like to keep you in until at least tomorrow. I want to keep an eye on your concussion. I also want to make sure your healing fine. So, if everything goes well, then I'll let you go home tomorrow, under strict instructions of course" the doctor said
"Of course" Lorelai said
"I'll look after her" Rory replied, knowing that her mother really wanted to be out of the hospital.
The doctor left, and not long after, Lorelai forced Rory to leave as well. She wanted her to get back to Yale. Rory had to explain why she missed the exam, and get some rest. Rory said that she will call Sookie and let her know what was happening; also that she will call her grandparents and let them know that she might be leaving tomorrow.
Stars hollow, the next day
The next day, Rory left Yale and went straight to stars hollow. She knew that if her mother was going to come home today, she'll want a change of clothes. She rang Sookie and let her know that if she wanted to help bring Lorelai home. Sookie of course agreed and met Rory at the crap shack. Rory got some clothes and the left together in Rory's car. It was easier for Lorelai to get into instead of Sookies' minivan.
They reached the hospital at noon. They walked into Lorelais' room. Lorelai had a smile on her face. She was being brave. All she wanted to do was cry for the loss of her baby. Even though it was Lukes, and that she didn't have Luke. She was still upset about it. It was her baby. Something that was meant to grow inside her. Rory ran over to Lorelai and gave a big hug.
"So, are you coming home today" Rory said
"Yeah, the doctor just left. He said that I'm good. I have to rest. No going to work, no pushing myself. Only do things that I'm capable of until the stitches. And after that, light duties for awhile. Hey Sookie! How are you? Nice of you to come and get me out of this hell hole" Lorelai said with a laugh. Both Rory and Sookie laughed as well.
"Oh! By the way. The town knows what happened. Somehow, Luke doesn't know, considering that the whole town has been camped out at the diner from open to close. But they don't know that you're coming home today. I knew that you wouldn't want them all there when you arrived home" Sookie said.
"Thanks" was all that Lorelai said. She was glad that they didn't know when she would be home. She knew that if they did, there would be a welcome home party.
Lorelai got dressed and signed the papers she needed to sign. They left the hospital and headed for stars hollow. They arrived at the crap shack. They notice that there was another car there. They realized it was Emily and Richards car. Sookie sighed thinking that Lorelai wouldn't like it. Lorelai actually smiled. She was happy that they were there. She had grown closer to her parents after what happened. Not just with the accident, but with Luke as well. As they pulled up, Emily and Richard came outside. Babette also noticed and she came out also. Emily came over and hugged Lorelai.
"Glad that your home" Emily said
"Glad to be home. And glad that you and dad are here" Lorelai replied
"Doll! How are you feeling? Are you ok? Sorry to hear about the baby" Babette said as she came running to greet her. Lorelai looked from Babette and the looked at Sookie.
"Sorry, it slipped when I was at the diner. Don't worry, I doubt that he heard" Sookie said shyly.
"That's ok" Lorelai said
"I'm ok Babette. I'm fine. I just need some rest. Could you spread that around town, you know, no visitors for awhile." lorelai said
"Of course doll. I call patty" Babette said.
Lorelai knew that as soon as miss patty knew, the whole town would know. Rory took Lorelais' left hand and started to guide her into the house. Lorelai looked at the hand that Rory took, and saw the ring there. She stopped and they all looked at her.
"What's up mum"? Rory asked
Taking her hand away from Rory, "Sookie, can you do me a favour. Can you take this and give it to Luke. I don't want it anywhere near me" she said as she took the ring off and handed to her.
"I'll do it mum" Rory said. Lorelai was shocked that Rory would even think about it after what happened. Sookie handed Rory the ring. Richard took Lorelais' arm, and Emily and Sookie followed behind. They walked through the door, and headed towards the stairs.
"No dad. I want to stay down here. I want to sit up and talk or whatever. Don't want to go up there" Lorelai said
"Ok Lorelai. I'll help you onto the lounge" Richard replied
"Anything you need Lorelai" Emily said
"Maybe something to eat. I could go for a burg……um, something else." Lorelai said
"I'll whip something up for all of us" Sookie said, knowing what Lorelai really wanted, but didn't, cause it reminded her of Luke.
Meanwhile, Lukes diner
Rory walked through the door, the bell jingle. Miss patty looked up and saw Rory.
"Hey Rory"
Luke looked up when he heard miss patty say Rory
"Hey hunny. How's your mum? Babette just told me she got home. That she didn't want any visitors" miss patty continued
"Well, she's doing ok. She's gotta rest till she goes back for check up and get the stitched removed. She's still a little down about you know, Luke. But also you know the other, the baby" Rory replied
Luke had started to walk over to Rory when he saw her, but stopped when he heard miss patty talking. Had something happened to Lorelai for Miss Patty to be asking all that. Is that why everyone was in the diner.
"What" was all that came out of his mouth. Louder than he thought, when Rory mentioned the word baby.
With that, everyone turned their heads towards Luke. He was shocked. He didn't know what had happened. Rory turned around, shocked that he had overheard the conversation.
"Didn't someone tell you it's rude to eaves drop on other people's conversations" Rory spat out angrily.
Luke was shocked with Rory's outburst. "Sorry, I just came over to talk to you" was all that Luke could reply.
"Actually, I came here to give you this. This is from mum" Rory said, handing Luke the engagement ring that he had given to Lorelai. "For you information, mum was upset because of you. She had an accident because of you. She was in hospital because of you. She lost your baby because of you" Rory said loudly. Clearly letting her anger out. She was upset that Luke could do all this with just saying one work to her mother. 'NO!'.
Luke stood there shocked. He didn't know what kind of accident Lorelai had. He didn't even know that Lorelai was pregnant. After the outburst, Rory walked out of the diner and straight for home.
