A/N: Hey, guys I'm sooooo sorry for not updating this in MONTHS! but, I have been really busy, with school and everything. So here is the latest chapter, of 'I'm Here to Help'. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls.
Rory Gilmore woke up to the irksome sound of a monitor beeping and a faint snoring coming from the corner of the room. Knowing from the beeping that she was in a hospital, she tried to remember how and why she was there. 'Ok, I was in Finn's apartment...I had to go to the bathroom. There was a newspaper clipping on the wall. I found the bathroom. Wait- The bathroom. The razor. I-' Rory Gilmore gasped and sat straight up with her eyes wide open. There was a sharp pain in her stomach and she laid back down. In an instant Finn was by her side.
"Love? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
"Yeah, it's just my stomach. Do you know what happened?"
"Well, once again I found you on the floor of the bathroom losing consciousness. But, the doctor said that when you cut yourself with the razor you almost hit a vital vain. You have 17 stitches right now and you shouldn't sit up or move for at least 24hours."
"Finn, I'm sorr- wait. How do know that? I thought they only gave out information to family. Is my mom here? I thought her and Luke went out of town."
"Um...Yeah...about that. Since I couldn't get any of your family here. and I really needed to get information. I kind of told them that I was your...Fiance." He looked at her expecting a response but she just sat there wide eyed. "Love? Please don't be mad at me." Finally recovering from the shock, Rory answered.
"It's fine."
"Really?"
"Yeah, It's actually kind of sweet. I mean, you caring for me that much. How can I repay you?"
"Well, you could start by not getting emergency room worthy injuries anymore."
"Start?"
"Well, you see the nurses didn't really believe that we were engaged, so I need you to help me sell it."
"Fair enough, wait, I see a nurse coming. What should I do?"
"Follow my lead. Oh Love! You're awake!" Just then he bent down and gave her a passionate kiss. *ahem* A nurse interrupted them.
"Miss Gilmore? How are you feeling?"
"Hmm?.." Feeling completely disoriented from the kiss. "O-oh...I'm um..fine... My stomach hurts though."
"Yes, well I expect it would. There are some pills on the table to make the pain subside. Take two with a glass of water and don't eat for half an hour.
"Yes ma'am." The nurse left the room and Finn and Rory sat in awkward silence, both think about the the kiss meant.
"Finn? Um...Did yo-... I mean. Can you get me a glass of water?" She asked nervously, mentally scorning herself for not asking what the kiss meant to him.
"Of course, Love."
Much to her protest Rory had to stay another night at the hospital, she was really starting to hate this place. Finn was still there, refusing to leave when the nurses said that visiting hours were over. As to the whole fiance situation, they had a pretty good story worked out.
If anyone asked, they had been dating when the first incident happened and when Finn saw how he could lose her, he mustered up the courage and proposed about two weeks later. If a nurse told him to leave he would tell them that if he left, something might happen and he wouldn't be there. Well, that and he would give them a $50.
At the moment, Finn and Rory were eating the 'food' that they got from the hospital cafeteria, trying to ignore the awkwardness the kiss created. Thinking back to the first hospital visit, a devilish grin appeared across Finn's face.
"Love?" He said breaking the silence
"Yea?"
"Want to play 20 questions? Same rules as last time?" She nodded "You can go first."
"Um...Do you wish that you had stayed in Australia?"
"No. I mean, I love it there, but if I had stayed, I wouldn't have met Stephanie, Collin, Rose, You, or any of the other friends I have here." She inwardly smiled at the fact that she had been mentioned in the list. "Ok, did you know that you are a very boring question asker?" She blushed a slight pink, that Finn thought was incredibly sexy.
"Well, I don't really know any yes or no questions that aren't generic." She said defensively. "I'm sorry, let me try again." He crossed her arms with a smirk on his face. "Did you actually forget who I was, when we were in college?" She watched as his eyebrows crinkled in confusion and then as he smiled in realization.
"Ah, yes."
"Yes?"
"What? Oh, wait no! Of course I remembered you! how could anyone forget a Gilmore girl?"
"Then why did you always pretend that you did?" Her bottom lip quavering. 'Damn drugs making me hormonal! He sighed before answering
"Because if I 'forgot' who you were, then it would give me an excuse to talk to." She opened her mouth to say something but, he quickly interrupted her. "And if I started talking to you, and you didn't remember me, then that would be incredibly awkward. so, I figured that if I just pretended not to know you then it would save a lot of embarrassment, and now I'm thinking that I've been spending too much time with you because I'm starting to ramble." He stopped talking and took a deep breath. Rory just stared at the ground processing what he had just said.
"Um...I think it's your turn to ask a question." She said quietly. Finn looked at her, noticing how beautiful she looked even without make-up on. He noticed how her cerulean eyes stood out against her pale skin and how the hospital gown was slightly off her shoulder. He stood up making his way across the small room and sat down next to her. Slowly, he put the gown back into place, locking eyes with her briefly before, cupping her face and gently sucking her bottom lip. She was shocked at first, not realizing what was happening, but then started to kiss him back. His lips were soft against hers, she felt him sweep his tongue across her lip begging for entrance, she parted her mouth slightly and he slid his tongue in, exploring it. When air became a necessity, they reluctantly broke apart.
"My question is" Finn said between breaths, in a voice barely above a whisper. "What did that mean to you?"
A/N:I hope you guys liked it, and sorry for just leaving it there, I'd write more but I'm sick and I just wanted to get this chapter up. I promise I will be better at updating, since it is now summer. I will try my hardest to get two chapters up before i leave for Peru for 4 weeks! Anyway, please review, and in your review I would like to know in what episode they started calling Rory 'reporter girl'. Thanks!
