…Everything thing went black.

Then she heard the knocking and ran to the door... pregnancy test still forgotten.

Luke was outside waiting. He heard running footsteps and a second later the door was ripped open and there stood a frantic Rory.

"Where is she?" Luke barked.

"Follow Me," yelled Rory while running through the apartment. "She is in here." She said coming up to the bathroom.

When Luke looked through the door the scene before him broke his heart. The love of his life was lying on the cold tile floor, head propped up on the edge of the tub.

He ran to her side, as he leaned down to pick her up he noticed a small tube like object in her hand. Not thinking about it he tossed it in the trash and quickly scoped her up in the bridal position and carried her to the bedroom where Rory directed him to the bed.

"Go get a cold, wet wash cloth." Directed Luke.

"Okay, be right back," said Rory running out the door to the kitchen.

She went into the kitchen in search of the washcloth, all the while silently praying that her mom would be okay. She knew she could trust Luke with her mom but if something happened, she would never be able to forgive herself for calling Luke and not 911! Ugh! She got into Chilton and Yale and she couldn't think to call 911! (A/N: haha is this for LorLukealways lol)

Oh boy, would she never ever be able to forgive herself if something happens. But then again living with guilt is one thing but living without Lorelai is something different all together.

Meanwhile in the bedroom Luke carefully placed Lorelai on the bed, propped her up, and gently brushed the hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ears. He took her hand in his, kissed her forehead, and whispered," Come on Lorelai, wake up. Come on baby, open your eyes."

Even though they broke up and she isn't his anymore he was yearning to see her baby blue eyes looking back at him. After a minute or two of whispering encouraging words and gently shaking her shoulders, he decides to wait for Rory to get back.

Sighing in defeat he rested his head in his hand and gazed up and her while lightly stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. All the while thinking of how he thought he would never be able to be this close to her, let alone touch her ever again.

Even under these circumstances he was happy to be in her presence. The room always lights up when she was in it, sleeping or awake. But this time was different. She has bags under her eyes and a small frown where her beautiful, radiant smile usually is. She looks very tired.

He wonders if this break up has been harder on her than he thought. Then he remembers what Rory said on the phone. Coming to the realization that all her pain was his entire fault, he became furious with himself. He had the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and the love of his life right in front of him and he let her go just because of one small lie. Even after she repeatedly told him nothing happened and pleaded with him until tears started to from in her eyes, he still let her go.

Although, he was pissed at her for lying, he understood why she didn't tell him. She was there when he beat up a car when he found out his wife that he didn't love was cheating on him. He could only imagine what she thought he would do if he thought she was cheating on him. It takes a lot to understand a Gilmore Girl, but he thinks he is almost there.

Thinking about their history, he also realized the stupid town didn't help them any. They were always watching them just waiting for something bad to happen. As Lorelai said, "We the IT couple of this town."

Just then Rory walked in with the washcloth. Handing it to him she said, "Here, nice and cold." He could tell she had been crying but didn't mention it. Taking the towel he said, " Thanks, why don't you go lie down, I got it from here." He figured she wanted to have a long cry so he gave her an opening.

"Yeah, I think I will. Come get me if she wakes up," she said walking out of the room.

After placing the wet washcloth on the nightstand. He gently grabbed her legs so he could pull her towards the end of the bed, so she would be more lying than sitting up. He then placed the washcloth on her forehead after gently rubbing it down her neck. Figuring the cold water would wake her up, he figured right.

About a few seconds after he placed the washcloth on her forehead and rested his own head on the bed, her eyes slowly fluttered open. She stared at the ceiling for a few second till she noticed his presence and realized where she was.

With droopy eyes, she looked over at him and whispered, "Luke, what are you doing here?" Since his head was down this voice startled him. Noticing the panicked look in her eyes he quickly responded, "Shh… its okay, go to sleep. I'll be right here."

Noticing she shivered, he got up, grabbed the small blanket at the foot of the bed and placed it over her just as her eyes slowly closed and she drifted off to sleep. Seeing the she was asleep, he sat back on the bed next to her and got lost deep in thought.

After thinking for a few minutes, he began to wonder why she started to panic when she realized where she was and the fact that he was there. He though of a few reasons but one stuck with him. It must have something to do with the small tube thing he found in her hand. Deciding to investigate, he slowly got off the bed, trying not to wake her.

After successfully making it off the bed and out of the room, he started to walk towards the bathroom, stopping only to cover a sleeping Rory curled up on the couch. When he saw the tear tracks on her cheeks his heart clenched.

Continuing to the bathroom, he remembered he put it in the trash. Walking over to the trashcan, he saw the tube and picked it up. What he saw nearly knock him over. In bold letters on the digital screen, read one word: PREGNANT.

A/N: okay it is like 11:15 and I am very tired so cut me some slack on this one. Lol. I will try to update Mon. or Tues. Def. More Luke/Lorelai stuff next chapter! Peace – Out!!
