To my wonderful beta buckice...

Opening his eyes Luke felt disoriented. Turning his head to the right, he groaned at the pain in his neck. Just then he realized he'd been sleeping upside down on the wrong side of his twin bed, with his left arm and head hanging slightly off the bed. Slowly he pulled himself up by his arms into a sitting position, running his hand over his face and through his messy hair, trying to wake himself up a little bit more. Stretching himself, he realized he was still wearing his clothes from the previous night. Looking at his alarm resting on the bedside table, Luke realized it was almost 5 am. Once again, his internal clock hasn't failed him, even though he hadn't set the alarm.

Just then the events of the pervious night came back to him: Lorelai being in the hospital after an accident, in a coma, only him being able to see her, just part of her since her body still lay motionless in her hospital bed.

Luke still wasn't able to gather all his thoughts and wrap his brain around all of this. He had no idea what all of this meant or even what it really was. What he was sure about was that either he was losing his mind for good, or Lorelai was in more trouble than he thought and need all his help and he wasn't going to fail her. The event from 3 weeks earlier when they fought in the middle of the street had long since been forgotten. He wasn't going to leave her again, in any way, shape or form.

He clearly remembered how they were both sitting on the floor beside his bed the night before. He had been trying to calm her down and she had been calling and begging for his help that he wasn't sure he would be able to give her. It was hurting him so much that for the first time he wasn't able to just hold her and reassure her that everything was going to be okay.

"Lorelai?" Luke called out, just to be sure, she was still… somewhere there, or that it was just a long, confusing dream and she wasn't there at all. "Lorelai?!" He tried again, standing up and looking around, but there was no response.

So he did what he'd been always doing every morning for the last 12 years of his life- get ready to open the diner. Groaning again, he massaged his sore neck, trying to 'calm' his tense muscles, making his way to the bathroom.

15 minutes later, Luke walked out and back into his apartment. His hair still a little bit dripping wet as he tried to fix the towel securely around his waist.

"Woah!" a sudden voice filled the apartment.

"Oh Jeez!" Luke yelled, startled. In one second, the end of the towel he was gripping fell from his hand, but thankfully Luke caught it before it ended up on the floor, exposing him… all of him, for Lorelai to view.

They both stood there staring at each other with wide eyes. Lorelai's mouth was slightly open as Luke tightly grasped the towel around his waist, both breathing heavily. After a minute Lorelai was the first to break the silence.

"If I've gone through all of this just for that, then it's definitely been worth it," she joked, muttering under her breath but loud enough for Luke to hear her every word.

"Oh Jeez!" Luke scoffed again, clenching the towel even tighter, if it was possible.

"Luke, there's nothing to be ashamed of here," Lorelai teased, making him blush even more than he already was.

"Just stop it!" Luke demanded, grabbing some clothes and making his way quickly back into the bathroom. But just before closing the door behind him, he turned to her. "Now I'm gonna get dressed and you stay there where you are!" He pointed at her, giving her a pointed look.

The moment as the door clicked close after Luke, Lorelai's cheeks flushed red as the image of half naked Luke flashed through her mind.

"Woah…" she repeated, just above a whisper, her voice full of emotions.

Half an hour later both Luke and Lorelai were down stairs in the diner, pretending nothing had happened up in his apartment before. He was walking around, pulling the chairs off of the tables, making the last preparations to open up, while Lorelai was sitting on top of the counter, much to Luke's earlier protests, which Lorelai just ignored knowing he wouldn't be even able to stop her.

The night before they both had agreed that since Luke had to open the diner and the visiting hours at the hospital weren't starting before 8 anyway, they would go there right after Cesar took over at the diner. That way they would be there early enough for Luke to prevent another confrontation with Emily, since Lorelai was sure nothing would make her mother alter her daily morning routine. Not even 'her daughter laying half alive in a hospital bed' as Lorelai put it, which caused an eye roll from Luke, who still had seen how much Emily was worried about her only child just the day before.

"Oh my god!" Lorelai exclaimed, looking at the door.

"What?" Luke asked, fallowing her gaze just to see Kirk standing straight and motionless on the other side of the door.

"Ah… yeah," he replied knowingly.

"You don't want to tell me he's like that every morning?" Lorelai asked.

"You're right, I don't want to tell you that, but sadly that's the truth," he stated, making his way to the door and opening it.

"Good morning Luke," Kirk said, walking inside and straight to the table he always occupied in the morning, not even looking in Lorelai's direction which confirmed Luke's suspicions that he was the only one who was able to see her.

"Morning Kirk," he replied. Lorelai watched in amusement how without even being asked, Luke made his way behind the counter to grab a mug, fill half of it with decaf and half with regular coffee and bring it back to Kirk.

She just sat there, staring at the scene before her, laughing a little, knowing just how much of a strange individual Kirk was and how well Luke knew him, even if he would never admit it.

Walking back to the counter Luke only gave her a pointed look, indicating for her to stop laughing, knowing very well what was running through her head and made his way to the kitchen to start the breakfast for Kirk.

After another few minutes, during which Lorelai contemplated how to best use her present state to annoy Luke as much as possible, since she wasn't planning to stay in it for much longer and it was helping her to not really realize that she might actually stay like that for longer than she was planning.

She looked up just to see Kirk looking back at her from his table, with a very strange expression on his face.

Unsure of that to do, Lorelai waved in his direction, but there was no response from him. He didn't even blink. She was more than sure he was looking straight at her as if he could see her just as Luke could.

"Kirk?" she tried, calling his name, but again there was no reaction from him.

Scared of what might be happening, Lorelai immediately called out for Luke.

"What?!" He almost tripped as he run out of the kitchen hearing her desperate voice; with a concern expression on his face.

"Look," she motioned with her head in the direction of Kirk who was still staring in her direction. "Is he usually like that?" she asked.

"Not that I remember, but then it's Kirk, nothing is usual with him," Luke replied, waving his hand a little just like Lorelai had before.

"Luke! He's staring at me! What if he can see me?" she asked almost desperately.

"Well then, you'll have one more person to annoy…" Luke teased, walking back to the kitchen. Lorelai just groaned in frustration, trying to hit him in the head, but her hand just went through it, not causing Luke any harm, which made her groan even more.

They arrived at the hospital at a little past 8 am, just like they had planned. Luke was leading the way, as he already knew the route more than he wished, with Lorelai following right behind him

They walked fast past the nurses' station, so that no more nurses would ask about Luke's presence there. The last thing he wanted was to tell the story about being engaged to Lorelai, especially with her right next to him.

Finally finding the right door to her room, they both stood before it for a minute, composing themselves before they were ready to walk in.

"You're ready?" Luke asked in a whisper so that no one would hear it and think he was a crazy man talking to himself.

"Let's go," she replied and walked in as he opened and held the door for her, which got him a very strange look from a woman who sat across from the door.

"Oh god!" was all Lorelai was able to say as her hands covered her face. She saw herself lying in a hospital bed, with all the tubes attached to her body, with casts on her leg and arm. It looked so much more real to her than the previous evening.

All Luke did was close the door after them and stood away from her bed, the sight before him once again breaking his heart, seeing the strongest person he knew so small and weak.

After a few minutes Lorelai was the first to break the silence.

"So… what do we do now?"

"Well…" Luke started. The truth was he had absolutely no idea what they should do right now. He never was able to think about it before. He couldn't understand what was happening. Why Lorelai's spirit or whatever part of her it was; was always near him, why was he the only one who was able to see it. How could he now make any decisions about this whole thing?

"Maybe you should try to…" He started to gesture with his hands to her form lying in the bed and then back to her. "Try to go back to your… well… body and stay there?" He finally managed to say, feeling a little bit awkward about the idea.

Lorelai just giggled at the thought and Luke's shy reaction. Then she went straight to the bed and, without any hesitation, laid down, disappearing into her body.

Luke stood now beside the bed, worried expression as he looked at all of the monitors surrounding Lorelai's bed, but nothing was happening.

"I think it's not working," Lorelai said suddenly, sitting up on the bed, although her body still laid motionless.

"Jeez!" Luke almost exclaimed, clenching his shirt where his heart was, breathing heavily as she had almost scared him to death. He was too old for that.

"What do we do now?" Lorelai asked after controlling her laugher at Luke's reaction. She was trying to do everything just to not think that there was no response, that maybe her body and spirit would never be joined again.

"I don't know," Luke replied hopelessly. He wanted to be strong, but what was happening was beyond him. "Do you even feel anything?" he finally asked. "I mean you have a broken leg and an arm, but do you feel it somehow?" there was a hint of desperation in his voice.

"Actually no. It's like I was a totally different person as if… It's like… Wait!!!" she suddenly exclaimed.

"What!?" Luke asked worried.

"I felt you squeezing my hand. Yesterday, you squeezed my hand and I felt it. I felt that." A smile appeared on her face. She got off the bed and stood beside it opposite Luke.

"You felt that?" he asked, surprised that she had, but then again embarrassed a little bit that she caught him up doing it.

"Yeah well.. what are you waiting for? Try that gain!" she urged.

After a little bit of hesitation, taking a deep breath, Luke slowly reached for Lorelai's unbroken hand that was on his side of her bed. Delicately his fingers stroked over the skin of her fingers, causing Lorelai to gasp softly at the feeling caused by the slightest contact. Luke was about to take her whole hand in his when the door opened suddenly, causing Luke to drop Lorelai's hand immediately and turn around fast to see who it was, terrified it would be Emily Gilmore.

"Christopher?" Lorelai whispered at the same time at the sight of the person.
