Hey this is a short chapter before I go away on vacation, and I can't say it enough. Please please please Review. If I don't get reviews i won't update. I just want to know if people are reading this still.
The next day………...Mark is at a friend's house, Lorelai is at the Inn with the triplets and Luke is home with Mia. Mia has tried on every outfit she owns for her outing with Rory later and a frustrated Luke has been trying to get her to come downstairs and eat her lunch.
"Okay daddy how about this." She walks in with a cute little outfit.
"It's fine, now come on its time for lunch."
"I don't want to eat."
"If you don't eat then you can't go with Rory later."
"But Rory said she would spend the afternoon with me."
"Well you're not listening and little girls who don't listen don't get to go anywhere."
"You're the meanest daddy in the world. I hate you; I wish you weren't my dad!"
"Well I'm sorry you feel that way." Luke tells her and locks her in her room, then goes downstairs.
An hour later Rory arrives.
"Hey Lu-dad."
"Hey kid, come on in." He loved hearing her call him dad, he had raised her with Lorelai since she was a little girl. He thinks of her as his own.
"Is Mia ready?"
"Yeah but you better go get her, she hates me." Luke says sadly.
"Why, what happened?"
"I told her to come eat and she kept telling me no so finally I just got so mad that I yelled at her, told her she wasn't going anywhere today and then locked her in her room."
"And you think she hates you for that?"
"No…well yes, she told me she hated me."
"Oh dad, she is just mad. She doesn't really hate you."
"You think?"
"I know. Remember all those times we fought when I was little. I screamed at you when you told me to do something, I said that you weren't my real dad, and that I hated you. I just said that because I was mad, I didn't mean it. Now how about I take her out and give her some time to cool off. I'll talk to her."
"Thanks Rory." Rory hugs Luke and then goes to get Mia.
As they head out to leave Luke tries to get Mia to talk to him.
"Bye Mia, have a fun time." She looks at her father then heads straight to the car. Rory gave Luke a, I'll handle it, look and he nods.
Luke went to the diner for a couple of hours and when he came back home he was greeted by his son.
"Dad come quickly." Mark pulls him inside.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom's trying to cook again."
"Oh god help us all." Luke says as they rush into the kitchen.
"Oh hey your home, how do you know when to flip the hamburgers?" Lorelai asks after giving Luke a kiss.
"When the bottom of the burger looks darker then the bottom of Cletus's foot, now give me that." He takes the spatula away from her and she pouts.
"No, I can do it."
"You can't cook Lorelai, remember what happened last time."
"So I lit the stove on fire once, big deal."
"You are never cooking again."
"I can cook pasta."
"What's to cook, you boil water and pour the pasta into the pot. It's not rocket science."
Lorelai sits at the kitchen table, watching Luke cook, and pouts some more.
"Oh come on at least let me help."
"Fine, set the table." Lorelai rolls her eyes and sets the table.
15 minutes later dinner was ready and Luke, Lorelai, Mark, Sammie, Mike, and Lauren were sitting having a nice family dinner. Mia and Rory weren't home yet.
"Where are they, they were supposed to be home 15 minutes ago."
"Luke hunny calm down, I'm sure their just running late." Lorelai rests her hand on his arm in comfort.
Mia and Rory on the road….
"Well this was a fun day, wasn't it?" Rory says as they drive home.
"Yeah it was, thanks Rory. I like hanging out with you without mommy around."
"Well you know mom is pretty fun to hang out with."
"Yeah but sometimes if its all three of us, I don't get inclu- Rory look car!" Mia screams as a car driving the wrong way heads towards them, they swerve out of the way but the car swerved and smashed into the side of Rory's flipping it on its side and into the woods. Meanwhile the other car is not far behind, it was attached to the passenger side of Rory's car, just as totaled as Rory's car. The police got there in record time, the driver in the car that caused the accident was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman had taken an overdose of sleeping pills and then fell asleep while she was driving. There was no news on Mia or Rory's conditions. The officer called their family.
Back at the Dane's house, Luke and Lorelai are cleaning up the kitchen when the phone rings.
"I got it." Lorelai says and picks up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello this is officer Millar, are you the mother of Rory Gilmore and/or Mia Danes?"
"Yes why, are they okay?"
"There has been an accident; we will need you to come to the Hartford hospital right away. They are in very serious condition, one more than the other." The officer hangs up and so does Lorelai. Lorelai turns a sheet of white and can't move.
"Lu..Luke." She says and starts shaking. Luke rushes over to her.
"Lorelai, what's wrong, are you okay?"
"Rory…Mia…hospital."
"Oh god." Luke says and helps his wife to the car. Then he runs back inside to grab his kids and his keys.
"Dad what's going on?"
"Get in the car now." He rushes him to the car and straps the babies in the car. The whole time Lorelai just sits there staring out the window.
Luke drives as fast as he can, all while having Mia's words from earlier in his head.
