Sorry that it took me so long again, to update this story. I had lost my inspiration and didn´t know how I should continue after the last chapter.

So for now this is a much more peaceful then i first thought. I hope you will like it anyway.

Thank you all of your kind reviews - you helped me to motivate me again.

A few hours later in Lukes room

After Lorelai had disappeared - for it seems to him like eternity – he worried what happened. He had heard the scream, too, but after that nothing. So he begged a nurse to find Lorelai and bring her to him. The nurse saw how worked up he was and he needed to be calm and relaxed to get better. So she gave in and searched for her.

Lorelai had totally forgotten Luke and how she left him, so when she entered his room, she said:

"I am sorry that I left the way I did but it happened all to fast."

"What happened? " Luke asked even more worried then before.

Lorelai thought about Lukes condition and that he should avoid any discomposure but she already told to much to let it go now.

"Rory collapsed and needed an operation but she is on the right way now. So you don´t have to worry about her." Lorelai told him with serious voice.

"Why?" Luke asked again unstabably.

Lorelai knew that when she says Luke why – he would blame himself. She thought about her answer to long for Luke not to noticing it.

"I know what you think and that you don´t want to tell me because of my condition but nothing is so horrible then to know nothing. So please Lorelai tell me" Luke said with beseechingly eyes.

Lorelai swallowed hard but she knew that there was no going back right now.

"She had a blood clot from the fall in the diner. But the doctor told me that when she wakes up everything should be fine. So please don´t blame yourself for it – without you she wouldn´t be alive at all."

A few minutes of silence later – Luke nodded and asked if Jess was with her right now?

"Yes, he and Christoper." She lied to him but she had promised to herself not to put any extra reasons to worry on him.

"That's good" Luke spoke softly. "I am pretty tired and now I can get some sleep. Thank you for telling me the truth." He closed his eyes and let the sleep come to him in no time.

Although Lorelai wanted to go back to Rory more then anything – she couldn´t. Now that she had lied to Luke about Jess - she had to be sure that he was indeed ok.

She went straight to his room. He was still sleeping, so she took place in the nearby chair. She knew that Chris would immediately contact her if something was wrong with Rory. When she saw Jess lying there in this huge bed, exhausted, fragile and pale suddently her motherinstincts kick in. This vulnerable appearance of him went right to her heart. "He had so much to handle the last couple of days". Before she could think any further, a moaning filled the room. Jess slowly woke up.

Unsure where he was or what had happened he tried to get up from the bed.

"Get it slow, Jess" that was the time he registered that someone was in his room with him and to his surpise it was Lorelai.

"What happened?" Jess asked with hoarsly.

"You had a shock after Rorys collapse, you didn´t spoke a word and after the successful OP from Rory you began shaking and the nurse gave you something to rest." Lorelai explained with soft voice.

"Why are you here" Jess asked quietly. Not sure what to think of it.

"I know we have our little difficulties with one another but with Luke and Rory not being able to sit here, this time it is my turn." Lorelai respond.

A little smile appeared on Jess face - only for a few seconds - "Can I see Rory? Is everything ok with her?"

"She hasn´t woken up yet, but you heard what the doctor said. Didn´t you?" Lorelai asked unsure.

"I remember half-way"….a short pause…"Can I see her?" he asked again.

"Do you feel strong enough to get up?" Lorelai asked a little worried, with Jess being still pale like a ghost.

He wasn´t sure if his body was ready to get up from the bed but what he surely knew was that he had to see Rory now. He couldn´t think about anything else and this strange feeling in his stomach wouldn´t disappear any other way. So the only thing he response was:

"I need to see her"

"Ok" Lorelai gave in "But get it slow - if you don't I have to tell Luke that you were a bad boy"

Mustering all his strength he got himself up into an upride position. After a few deep breath the little dizzyness that came with it were gone.

"I am ready, lets go" Jess said with a tight voice.

Rorys Room

Lorelai and Jess entered the room. Chris looked up to them and noticed the sign Lorelai gave him, to let Jess shared a some private moments with Rory.

Jess seated himself right next to her. She looked peaceful he thought to himself. That is a good sign. Her chest went up and down calmy – he took her hand into his and run his thumb softly on it. "I love you" he whispered and carefully put a kiss on her hand. After that his and Rorys breathing became one and comforting silence filled the room.

I try to be faster with the next chapter. Reviews are appreciated a lot like always. Please let me know what you think about it.
