I don't own Gilmore Girls. Sorry it took me so long. I've had so much going on and I've had a huge case of writers block. Hope you like this.
Notes:
Rory never dropped out of Yale.
By the way: Rory doesn't drink like she sometimes does in the show. She is still her innocent self.
This episode follows the newest episode that aired on Tuesday January 30th.
Colin and Stephanie are seriously dating
Heart attack
Chapter Three
A Spat Between Friends
Lorelai slowly makes her way across the hospital room and stands in front of her ex-fiancé. "What are you doing here?" She asks him in a small voice.
Luke shuffles his feet and shoves his hands into his coat pockets. "I heard the news about your dad. I just wanted to come and see how you and Rory were." He picks up the two bags or food and a take out stay tray that is full of coffees. "I also thought I'd bring you guys some coffee because hospital coffee sucks."
Tears well up in Lorelai's eyes and she quickly turns away from Luke. "Thanks." She smiles and looks back up at him through the tears.
She wipes them away, "You want to sit down? Rory will be coming back out in a few minutes." She notices that Colin is gone and assumes he went to wake up Finn and Rory.
As much as Lorelai likes Logan now she has always loved Finn. He was the perfect gentleman when he had to be but when it was just him and his friends he was loose and fun. That was something that Lorelai wanted to rub off on Rory. She wants Rory to have some fun but she doesn't want her to become too much like a college student.
However no on, including Rory thinks that is going to happen. Rory likes who she is and who she hangs out with. She misses Logan a lot and sometimes thinks that things aren't that great with them because of him being in London.
"Sure." Luke nods his head and carries the bags over to the seats that Lorelai had walked over to. He sits the bags down on the table and then sits down beside her.
"Is that food I smell?" Stephanie perks up.
"Dig in." Lorelai smiles at her and sits back in her seat. She sneaks a glance over at Luke. She admits that she had rushed into a relationship with Christopher. She hadn't meant to. But Luke had rejected her, or at least that is how she felt. She went to Chris because she knows he would never turn her away. She used him because of that and now realizes that he is too immature for any kind of serious relationship such as marriage.
Stephanie sorts through the bags and finds herself a cheeseburger and a cup of coffee.

Colin silently walks into Richard's hospital room. He scans the room and sees Finn and Rory sitting very comfortably on the couch fast asleep.
He walks over to them and smacks Finn's shoulder.
Finn wakes with a jerk and glares at Colin, who is signaling him to remain quiet. So Finn picks Rory up bridal style and they walk out into the hallway.
"What are you thinking?" Colin hisses at Finn once the door is closed securely. When Finn remains silent Colin continues, "Rory is going through a really tough time right now and you are only making it worse!" He tries to keep his voice controlled but finds that he wants nothing more then to yell at Finn.
"I'm not making it worse. I am helping Rory. Cause maybe you didn't notice that her boyfriend is half way around the world." Finn informs him.
"You're not trying to comfort her Finn. I know you like her." Colin snaps.
Rory starts to move around in Finn's arms. Finn looks down at her and then back at Colin. "I'll be right back." He walks into the lobby, places Rory beside Lorelai and Luke, and then stalks back over to Colin.
"You have no right toying with her emotions like this Finn." Colin tells his best friend. His hands are balled into fists and his eyes are narrowed with anger.
"I have no right?" Finn bellows at him, "You have no right to tell me how to run my life!"
"Well someone has to because you obviously can't do it yourself!" Colin yells back.
"Guys!" Logan comes running up to them. He's wearing a business suit, very uncomfortable looking shoes, and a tie that has been loosened. "Is Rory alright? How's Richard? Is Lorelai here yet? Why do you two look like you want to throw some punches?" Logan looks from Finn and Colin with a very confused look across his face.
Colin quickly blinks away his visible anger and turns to face his friend, "Rory's in the lobby." He points the way.
"Thanks man." Logan pats Colin on the back and starts down the hall. He stops beside Finn and gives him a manly hug, "Thanks for calling me, man."
Finn stands frozen with his eyes wide.
Logan pats him on the shoulder and continues down the hallway.
"See? Logan loves her. You can't do this to him." Colin tells Finn in a low voice, "Or to Rory." He adds.
Finn stares at the floor shyly, "I'm going to find coffee." With that he leaves.
Colin groans and wipes his faces with his hands. He starts towards the lobby.

Logan greets Lorelai, Stephanie, and nods towards Emily who is arguing with the nurse who is trying to get her insurance information.
He sits down next to Rory and gently strokes her hair.
Rory squirms but she doesn't wake up.
Logan grins lightly and starts to lift Rory into his lap.
He positions her so her head is resting against his chest. "I love you." He whispers into her hair.
"I love you, Finn." Rory says half asleep.
Logan draws back and stares at his girlfriend. His eyes are wide and his face had paled a bit.
He glances up when he hears someone approach and sees Colin leaning against the hallway wall staring at them with shocked eyes: apparently he had heard what she had said too.
Lorelai turns sharply to face them, "Logan, Rory didn't mean that." She starts, "I mean she did, but not in that way. She loves Finn like a brother." Lorelai is babbling and trying to think of a reasonable explanation.
Luke is staring at him too. First, he has no idea who Finn is, and second he's shocked to see Logan still around. He never really liked Logan and wanted someone better then him for Rory.
Jealousy coursed through Logan's veins as he turned back to Rory, who was snuggling into his chest.
Another set of footsteps caused him to glance up once more. He saw Finn walking up to Colin with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"What?" Finn asks in an innocent and shy voice; which made Logan very suspicious.
Without saying a word Logan stood up, laid Rory back down, and stalked in Finn's directions.
"Oh no," Lorelai mumbles, "Logan!" She calls after him, but he doesn't seem to hear her.
Rory jerks awake, "Logan's here?" Her voice is shocked and expectant.
Stephanie nods but her attention isn't on Rory.
"Luke go up there and stop them!" Lorelai's voice is loud and commanding as she gestures towards
Rory follows her mom's gaze and sees Logan grab hold of the collar of Finn's shirt and slam him against the wall.
Stephanie and Rory both gasp.
"Logan!" Rory yells and jumps up to go after them. However Emily and the nurse she had been yelling at earlier are already running over there.
"Boys, this is a hospital, we don't tolerate any violence here." The nurse informs them.
"Logan put that boy down this instance." Emily orders him with a harsh tone.
Logan looks from the nurse and Emily before removing his grip on Finn, who remains standing against the wall staring at his friend.
"Honestly, this is the last thing we need right now." Emily tells them while shaking her head, "If you're going to cause trouble, then you should leave."
Logan shakes his head, "I apologize Mrs. Gilmore." Logan tells her.
Emily just nods her head before heading down the hallway to Richard's room.
Logan turns back to Finn, "I thought you were my friend!"
"I am, mate." Finn tells him with a pleading voice.
"Then why the hell would you do this to me?" Logan punches the wall beside Finn's head before turning down the hall.
"He heard Rory say that she loved you while she was sleeping you idiot!" Colin snaps at Finn. "I told you this was a bad idea! I told you not to get involved! I told you that Logan loves her! But did you listen, no!" Colin starts to rant as he starts after Logan.
Rory walks over to Finn with confused eyes, "What was that about?" She asks.
Finn glances at Rory but then continues to stares after his friends. "I'm an idiot, that's what."
"I'm sure that isn't the reason, Finn, you're not an idiot." Rory assures him.
"Yes I am." Finn starts down the hallway. When he was sure Rory wouldn't hear him he adds, "I fell in love with my best friends girl."
