Two days after the Friday night dinner, Jess was out once again searching for a writers job for him and Rory. It was getting late, so he decided to head home and start his search again in the morning.

He had walked three blocks when it started to rain. He didn't mind the rain, but knew Rory would be upset if he got sick. He quickened his pace and was crossing the street when he heard a screech of tires against the gravel.

He whipped around just in time to see two cars collide on the wet road. The driver of one car fell out of the door, coughing. Nobody emerged from the other car. The street was full of screams and shouts and people called the hospital and others tried to get away from here as fast as possible.

Three minutes passed and the blaring sound of an ambulance came closer and closer. It skidded to a halt a few feet away from the accident and paramedics burst through the white doors.

One ran to the man coughing on the ground and three ran to the second car.

People had cleared away by now, but Jess stayed frozen in place.

He watched the paramedics pull the car doors open and pull out the family

A father.

A mother

And a baby.

He could see the father's chest falling up and down slowly, but the mother and baby were still.

"Sir, you have to get out of here-" a paramedic began to Jess but Jess didn't need to hear someone say that. He turned and ran the rest of the way home.

When the building was in view he sprinted and ran inside and towards the elevator. He jabbed the 5th floor button with his finger repeatedly, cursing the slowness of the building.

When he arrived at his floor, the silver elevator doors parted and he sprinted towards his apartment.

He had to make sure...

He fumbled with his keys and finally yanked the door open.

It was dark inside, and he couldn't hear anything.

He walked down the narrow hallway to the bedroom and anxiously looked inside at the bed.

Rory was asleep. Completly unharmed. One hundred percent safe.

Jess let out a sigh of relief and didn't bother changing his clothes. He kicked his shoes off, took of his leather jacket and lay down beside her and puller her close.

She shifted in her sleep.

"Jess...?"

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

She rubbed her eyes sleepily and then smiled and shook her head.

She started to sit up but Jess pulled her back down.

"Did you have any luck today?" She asked cuddling closer to him. He put his arms around her and kissed her head.

"Not really, but I'm going to try again tomorrow."

"Oh, so do you want to start looking for an apartment the day after? We have to find one soon, school starts in five days."

"Right...how about we just start looking tomorrow and I'll find a place to work near Yale?"

"I like that idea." Rory said. Jess could hear the smile in her voice.

"Jess, you're wet." Rory said, noticing Jess' soaked body for the first time.

He shrugged. "It's raining."

"Do you want to change?"

He shrugged. "I don't really want to leave, but do you want me to change?"

She laughed. "Don't let me make your decision."

"Well, I'm fine."

"So am I." She smiled and they both fell alseep.

I was driving through blackness. Heavy rain drops pelted the windsheild and I could see lightning in the distance. Rory sat in the passenger seat, asleep. I smiled and quietly told her how brave I thought she was. We had gotten married seven months ago, one more month and Anabella/Mark would be born. I took one hand of the steering wheel and held hers. I saw a smile appear on her face. I wonder what she's dreaming about? Suddenly lighting stuck a tree on the side of the road and it caught on fire. The fire began to spread to the other tree's around it and animals started fleeing onto the road. Cars swerved all around, I tried to stop safely but a car came from behind and hit us. Hard. Rory jerked, her seat belt snapped and she went through the windshield. Another car came and hit my door and everything went black.

Next thing I know there's beeping sounds filling my ears, my body felt as if there was a brick wall on me, I couldn't move.

I forced my eyes open.

I was in the hospital.

I managed to choke out Rory's name.

The doctors looked to each other. One of them held Rory'd drivers license.

He asked me if this is Rory.

I wanted to shout that if it wasn't, why would it have Rory Mariano written on it? But I just nodded.

The doctors looked to each other again.

My heart started to race.

One of them sadly told me.

No.

I refused to believe it

Rory couldn't be. No, she wasn't.

I craned my neck and saw the bed next to mine. A white sheet covered the body, but I could see Rory's hair.

A lump formed in my throat.

I asked about the baby.

The doctor shook his head.

And then I was falling.

Falling deeper into darkness.

Rory's smile was fading.

The baby's cry that I would never hear drifted away.

Jess woke with a start, drenched with sweat. Was it sweat, or still the rain from before? He didn't care. He looked down and sighed in relief. Rory was still asleep, safely in his arms.

He pulled her even closer, still shaken from the dream. He tried to steady himself by taking deep breaths and thinking again and again Rory's safe, Rory's safe, Rory's safe so is the baby. They're both safe.

An odd chapter, I know. But it was a sudden idea I got...Review? More stuff coming soon... Advances with Luke/Lorelai and Lane/Zack.
