"I Don't Do Hospitals"
"Rory! Rory! Wait!" yelled Jess trying to catch up with her.
By the time he got there Rory was already gone.
"Jess!" called Lorelai running out to him. "What happened?"
"You look around for her. I have to go talk to Luke." said Jess as he ran back into the diner.
"Did you tell her?" asked Luke
"No she was gone. You need to ask Lorelai. That way we can explain it to Rory without any confusion or under shock." said Jess
"Alright I will go upstairs. Tell her I have to see her." said Luke looking worried and confused.
"Don't worry. You'll do fine. Just please hurry my pregnant girlfriend is out there somewhere." exclaimed Jess.
"Girlfriend huh?" said Luke
"Yeah. I feel it is appropriate. No go! I'll give you 5 minutes." said Jess hoping everything will go perfect for his uncle.
Jess didn't know what to do for those five minutes. So he decided to go help the customers. When he went to fill up Kirk's he got all tense and he had to ask what was wrong.
"Kirk is something wrong?" he asked
"No no no no! When is Luke coming back?" asked Kirk
"Soon." said Jess as he had almost forgotten about the 5 minutes for he saw it has been 15.
He ran out to find Lorelai.
"Lorelai? Lorelai?" he hollered.
"Right here. Now what happened? I have looked everywhere. Where is she?" demanded Lorelai
"Wait! Go in and talk to Luke. He is up in the apartment. Please." pleaded Jess
"Fine you keep looking for my daughter." she said as she walked in the diner.
"I will. I will. Just hurry!" rushed Jess as he practically pushed Lorelai up the curtain.
She opened the door and she saw Luke there down on his knee holding a diamond ring in a velvet box. She also saw he had lit candles and used some of Jess's gel to comb his hair nicely.
"Lorelai will you marry me?" he asked starting to shake.
"I don't know what to say." said Lorelai falling on her knees in front of Luke.
"Yes would be nice." said Luke laughing
"Yes!" said Lorelai leaning over to give him a kiss causing them to fall over.
Meanwhile, Jess was searching everywhere for Rory. He looked for her at the bridge, gazebo, and Lane's house. She was nowhere. He decided he would go to Yale and see if she was there. As he got in Luke's truck his phone started to vibrate. He picked it up and his caller id didn't recognize it but he answered it anyway.
"Hello?" he said into the phone.
"Is this Jess?" asked the stranger.
"Maybe. What do you want?" Jess asked now even more concerned about Rory.
"This is Logan Huntzberger. Rory's boyfriend. I want you to know I am not happy about this phone call. However I respect Rory's wishes and she asked me to call you before she went into surgery." said Logan who was very tense.
"Rory's in surgery! How? Why? Where? Wh…"
"How and why doesn't matter but she is at the hospital in New Haven." said Logan interrupting.
"I'll be there." said Jess as he hung up.
When he got there he saw Logan sleeping in the lobby. Logan instantly woke up.
"You might as well sit down. She's not out yet." Logan said through clenched teeth.
"So are you going to tell me why she is here?" Jess asked
"Why should I? It's your fault she is here anyway." said Logan
"How? I wasn't anywhere near her when this happened." said Jess defensively.
"Well if you hadn't have done this to her it wouldn't have mattered when it happened." said Logan
Just then a doctor walked in.
"Is there anyone here for Lorelai Gilmore?" he asked.
Both Logan and Jess stood and walked over staying as far away from each other as possible.
"She's out of the operating room and is asking for a Mr. Jess Marino. Can you please follow me?" he asked as he turned to lead Jess to her room.
"But what about me? I'm her boyfriend." said Logan starting to follow.
"And who are you?" asked the doctor.
"I'm Logan Huntzberger."
"Oh yes. She asked for a Mr. Huntzberger to go home. Now follow me Mr. Marino." the doctor said going through the swinging doors.
Logan was so angry at Jess. How could he take my perfect life away for me? Logan knew he would be a better father why couldn't Jess understand that? He has all the money and he loves Rory. If there was just a way to get Jess to go away again. Then it hit him. He got out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Yes. I need an operator for New York."
When Jess walked in the room he saw Rory laying on the bed sleeping peacefully. He sat in the chair next to her bed. He took her hand and rubbed it gently with his thumb. Rory woke up and smiled up at Jess.
"Jess." she whispered.
"Shh. Save your strength." he whispered back.
"But you should know what happened." Rory persisted.
"Tell me later." Jess said rubbing her hand again.
Just then the doctor came to the door and motioned for Jess. He stood up and he noticed she was asleep again. Jess walked out to the hall.
"I figured you wanted to know about the baby." the doctor said looking at Jess.
"Yeah…" said Jess preparing himself.
"Well the baby's fine and while we were checking her over we found out you guys are having twins!" said the doctor now smiling.
"Twins." Jess said getting used to the new words. "Two lives. That's great! Have you told Rory yet?"
"No we thought that you could tell her." he said when his beeper went off. "I should be going. Congratulations!"
Jess walked back into the room and sat beside a now wide awake Rory.
"What did the doctor want?" asked Rory apprehensively.
"Well he told me the … well… he told me that we are having twins!" said Jess jumping up after he finally realized this could be a good thing.
"Twins!" said Rory laughing. "But are they okay?"
"Yes they are fine." said Jess bending down to kiss and hug Rory the mother of his unborn children.
"Where's Mom?" asked Rory.
"Oh crap I forgot to call her. She is going to kill me. I'll be back." said Jess jumping up and heading out of the room.
"Okay Terminator." called Rory after him.
Jess ran around the floor three times to find the pay phone. When he did he found 0.35¢ and put it in the pay phone. He then dialed the all to familiar number.
"Hello?" said a groggy and grouchy Lorelai.
"Lorelai?" asked Jess
"Jess! Where the heck have you been? We have been looking for Rory and you for 3 ½ hours now! Have you seen her?" Lorelai asked stopping for a breath.
"Sorry I didn't call its just Rory is at the hospital and…"
"Are her and the baby all right?"
"Yes her and the babies are fine. We are here at the hospital in New Haven."
"Did you say babies?" asked Lorelai letting the smile stretch across her face.
"Just get up here." said Jess mad at himself for slipping.
"Will do grasshopper." said Lorelai hanging up.
Jess walked back to the room and saw Rory flipping through the TV channels. She looked at him when he walked in and smiled.
"You'd think there would be a descent thing to watch when you have 61 channels." said Rory turning it off and putting the remote down.
Jess went and sat in the chair once again and told her that her mother would be there soon.
"Jess I want to tell you what happened." Rory waited for a response but all Jess did was nod in agreement.
"When I saw what happened in the dinner I freaked."
"What a minute!" said Jess. "What happened in there was completely different then how you took it. Luke was going to ask your Mom to marry him and he didn't know how to ask. So I got down and showed how I will ask you someday." Jess said embarrassed and looking down to the floor.
"Oh." said Rory smiling and holding her growing tummy. "Well did she say yes?"
"I don't know." said Jess looking up. "You may continue."
"Well like I said I freaked so I ran to the bridge. While I was thinking about what to say I realized I never really broke up with Logan. So I drove to his apartment. I told him and he took it better than I thought he would. As I was getting ready to leave Colin and Flynn showed up. They were obviously drunk. As they were coming up the stairs they tripped me and well that's all I remember." said Rory
Just as Jess was about to say something Lorelai came running in the room. She hugged her daughter and asked about a million questions before Jess could get a word in.
"Where's Luke?" he asked
"Oh he's out in the waiting room." said Lorelai finally stop hugging her daughter.
Jess gave Rory a kiss and headed out to find Luke. When he found him Luke looked like he was about ready to puke.
"Are you okay?" asked Jess sitting by his uncle.
"I don't do hospitals." said Luke cringing as a person on a stretcher went by.
It seemed like forever before Lorelai came and told Jess Rory was asking for him. He walked into the room and stood there looking as his sleepy love. Rory shifted in her bed and patted for Jess to lie beside her. It felt so good to cuddle with her and be with her.
"Rory you know how you said you were trying to decide if you would marry me or not?"
"Yeah"
"Well did you make a decision?"
"Yeah."
"What was it?"
"You'll just have to wait and find out."
The last thing Rory heard was Jess chuckling and Lorelai shutting the door.
