Lorelai POV

I frantically rushed to wake Luke up after I got off of the phone with my mom.

"Babe? What's wrong?"

"Dad, Luke. He had a heart attack."

I saw the look on my husband's face go from a mildly annoyed one to a heavily concerned one.

"I'll go get Rory up?"

"Please."

Thirty minutes later, we were in Luke's truck and Hartford bound. I felt bad for Rory. She didn't really know my dad and was kind of thrown into this situation. But I knew that she wanted to be there for us.

When we pulled up to the hospital, Luke let Rory and I out while he parked. We followed some arbitrary line to the cardiac unit. There, we found my mom in a pool of her own tears.

"Mom, what happened?" I asked, trying to comfort the usually emotionless Emily Gilmore.

"He had chest pains. And as we were headed to bed, he collapsed. I'm so scared. Lorelai."

"Don't worry, mom. Everything is going to be okay."

I didn't really know whether things were going to be okay, but I had to be the strong one here.

Luke eventually came in. He comforted me while Rory stayed close to my mom. It was an oddly touching moment amongst the chaos.

A few minutes later, I excused myself and headed down the hall.

I lost it. I didn't want my dad to die yet. I didn't want Rory to lose her grandfather.

He had just come into her life. He couldn't go yet, right?

When some time had passed and they hadn't seen me, Luke must've gotten the memo. I saw my knight in shining armor come down the hallway and hold me close.

It was a combination of lack of sleep and my actual losing it that triggered such a reaction.

"Lorelai, you're going to be fine. Richard is going to be fine."

He kissed my forehead.

I walked with my arm around his waist and went back to my mom and kid.

Ah, still so weird.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, baby girl."

"That's new." Rory said.

"Like it?"

"Love it."

She was my baby girl, just quite a bit bigger at this rate.

A few minutes later, the doctor who I presumed was my dad's doctor came out.

"Mrs. Gilmore, your husband is resting well. He had one blockage, but luckily it isn't too bad."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm Lorelai, his daughter. This is my daughter, Rory and my husband, Luke."

He took a moment to introduce himself before leading us to dad's room.

I saw the stringest, tallest man I'd ever known so helpless.

"Hi, daddy." I was the first one in.

He was just barely awake, but we surrounded him. It felt eerily similar to the movies I'd seen.

Luke put a hand on my shoulder and another one on Rory's.

We watched him for a bit before heading out and figuring out a game plan.

"Mom, I will go home and get whatever you and dad need."

"Great. Luke? Would you mind staying here?"

I was surprised.

"You bet."

Rory and I headed back to the house.

Rory POV

Mom and I got in the truck and drove to grandma and grandpa's house.

"Mom, are you okay? Dad told me that he was worried about you."

"I'm doing okay, I think. It's just been a wild morning."

I looked at the time.

It wasn't even nine yet.

"Just let me know if you need anything. I'm here for you, mom."

"You bet. I love you, sweet girl."

"Love you, too."

While at the house, mom got things together while I explored for a bit. I wondered into mom's childhood bedroom. It in no way reflected her taste of her house.

It was cool to see her bedroom preserved like some sort of museum, though.

After she'd gathered all of the things needed, we went back to the hospital. When we got into grandpa's room, we saw dad and grandma looking =oddly refreshed.

"What?" Mom mouthed.

"I'll tell you later."

We tended to grandpa's needs before the nurse came in and we had to leave.

While in the waiting room, I saw Christopher and a little girl.

"Lore, I came as soon as I heard."

"Thanks, Chris."

He didn't acknowledge my presence until finishing up his conversation with mom.

"Hey, Rory. This is your little sister, Gigi."

She was a spitting image of Chris.

I knelt down to her level.

"Hey, Gigi."

She said nothing and shied behind Christopher's legs.

After Chris left, we stayed up with grandpa and got him on the road to recovery.

It was going to be a long road, but one that would be worth it
