Once they had all reached the car, Emily helped Lorelai into the backseat and sat next to her Daughter. Richard climbed into the driver's seat and started up the ignition. Placing his foot on the accelerator, he sped down the driveway and onto the road.

"Lorelai have you had any pains or discomforts?" Emily asked, making sure Lorelai and the baby were ok.

"I don't know", Lorelai wined, too busy thinking about Luke than herself.

By now Richard had pulled into the hospital car park. He walked round to the back doors and opened them. He picked Lorelai up and carried her into the hospital like he did when she was a little girl.

A nurse greeted them and Richard informed her of his Daughters situation.

"Let's get you checked out then", the nurse stated, as she pointed to a room in the far corner.

"No, I'm fine I want to see Luke", she cried, struggling in her father's arms.

"I'm afraid we'll have to check you out first before I can tell you anything about Luke's condition.

Emily tried to steady her Daughter, but it was no use.

Just at that moment, Luke slid past them on a hospital bed, followed by several doctors. He was bleeding out rapidly and the doctors were trying to stabilise him.

"Where are they talking him?" She sobbed, seeing how much pain he was in.

"He's going to surgery, they need to remove the bullet and possibly proceed in a blood transfusion", the nurse explained.

"He's not going to die though?" Lorelai whispered, trying to stay positive after what she had just seen.

"They are doing the best they can", the nurse replied.

"Now darling, don't you want to make sure you and your baby are ok, for when Luke gets better?" Emily persuaded.

"Ok", she breathed, trying to forget about what Luke must be going through upstairs.

"Now could please sit on this bed and lift up your shirt?" the nurse asked kindly, as she switched on the scan machine and applied jelly on her hands. She rubbed the jelly on Lorelai's stomach and placed the scanner down. She moved it around for several seconds.

"What's a matter?" Emily barked, sensing the nurse's confusion.

"Nothing, your baby is healthy and perfect, just as it should be at this stage", she smiled.

"So what's with the confusion?", Emily shot.

"Well I should say Babies", the nurse revealed.

"Twins?" Lorelai asked, not quite believing what the nurse had said.

Tears fell down Lorelai's cheek.

"Mom, what if Luke never gets to see them?"…
