Gilmore Girls: The Rewrite

Chapter 2

RORY POV

When I woke up the next morning, Logan had his arms wrapped around me. I laid there thinking about everything that had happened in the last 48 hours. I was laying there when my phone started vibrating. It was my mom. I grabbed my phone and walked into the common room. "Hey, mom." I said. She was crying. "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Rory, it's your dad." She said.

"What happened?"

"He's been in an accident. You need to come."

I get the hospital information from her and then I go wake Logan up. "Logan, wake up. I need my keys."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's my dad. I have to get back to Hartford."

He gets up and puts some clothes on. "I'll go with you." He says. We walk out into the common room. I grab my jacket. Logan's writing a note I'm assuming that its to let Collin know, to make sure that he gets Steph home. He grabs his jacket and we walk out the door.

The ride back to Hartford is quiet. I don't know what to say. the only thing I could think about is my dad. When we get to the hospital, we walk through the emergency room entrance and try and find my mom. Instead, we find Grandma Francine and Gigi. Gigi runs over and hugs me. We walk over to where Grandma is sitting. "Hi, Grandma. We got here as soon as we could. Where's mom?" I said.

"She's in the back with your dad and Grandpa. They're prepping him for surgery." Grandma said.

"Gigi, why don't we go find some coffee for everyone?" Logan says. Gigi grabs onto him and they walk away.

"How bad is it?" I ask.

"Collapsed lung, 3 broken ribs." Grandma says.

"Holy crap." I said. I sit down next to Grandma. Mom and Grandpa come out a few minutes later. Logan and Gigi return a few minutes after that. Logan hands everyone a coffee and sits next to me. A little while later, the doctor comes out and tells us that the surgery went well and that Dad should be able to go home in a few days.

"Rory, can you take your sister home?" Mom asked.

"Yeah, sure thing." I say.

"And call Grandma. Get her to make sure that everything is ready for tomorrow. See if Grandpa can stand in for Dad."

"Absolutely," I say hugging my mom. "Call me if you need anything."

"I will sweets." She looks at Logan. "Take care of my girls."

"I will." Logan says.

We walk out to my car and get in. Logan drives to my house. I call Grandma Emily and relay mom's messages. Grandma tells me that she will take care of everything. By the time I get off the phone, Gigi has gone upstairs. Logan and I sit on the couch in the living room. Esmeralda brings out a tray of coffee for us. I lay my head against Logan's shoulder. "Thanks for being here today." I say.

"I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else." Logan says. I kiss his cheek. "So, did you tell Honor about us?"

"No. I wasn't sure if you wanted me to. I just told her that we had been hanging out and that you were going with me to cotillion." I look at him confused. "Why is something wrong?"

"My parents want me to come to dinner. My mom somehow saw the program for cotillion and now she is asking 5 million questions."

"Sounds like that will be a fun night." I say.

"Not really. I hate having dinner with my family. My family isn't like yours. We don't talk or spend time together like yours does."

"My family is pretty great even if we did have a rough patch last year."
