Chapter 3:
Luke couldn´t sleep the whole night. All he could think about was her. Her smile, her body, her charm, just her.

“ Lorelai I am in. I am all in”
”You know I love you, right?”
”I love ranting Luke!”
“ Luke, will you marry me?”

A single tear ran down his cheek. There were no more left. Luke thought about what he could say to Lorelai but didn´t came to a peaceful solution. There is no chance to tell her without breaking their whole dreams and wishes. He felt guilty because he had cancer. “Stupid”, he said to himself. “I am the healthiest man in town” he giggled. “Now I´m going to go mad. I talk to myself and make fun of the situation…. Geez I need sleep.” He closed his eyes and the last thing he saw before he fell asleep was the smiling face of Lorelai.

“ Good Morning Mr. Danes. Ready to fight against the dark power?”
“What?! Power?!”
“You had never seen Star Wars before? I just read your first name…Luke …and…okay I just get you.” The young student nurse wanted to lighten up the mood but she appreciated that there is no laughing time.
Luke held his eyes closed because he hated hospitals and all the sick persons. Forgetting that
he was one of them.



Lorelai made her way to the hospital. She knew that she promised to come one day later but she couldn´t concentrate on her work while Luke was lying there. She walked through the entrance hall which was well-known to her. She was there when she got Rory, when she had broken her leg, when her father had got a heart-attack and when Rory broke her arm after she “went out” with Jess.
Lorelai sighed and headed for Luke´s sickroom. She opened it carefully and threw a glance at the bed. But there was no bed. Lorelai was irritated.
“Hello. Uhm…I´m Lorelai Gilmore and the fiancé of Luke Danes and I want to know…uhm…did he already checked out?”
The nurse looked in some papers and watch at Lorelai addled. “No. He is in the operating room since one hour. I think he will be in his room in 10 minutes. But I guess you can´t talk to him because the anesthesia makes him still sleepy.”
“But what happened? I didn´t know that there was a surgery on the plan.”
“Sorry I can´t tell you anymore.” With that she left Lorelai standing at the counter.
“What the hell is wrong with him?” She mumbled and felt dizzy. She sat down and took a deep breath. She took out her cell phone and dialled Rory’s number.

“Mum?” There was rumpus in the background.
“Yeah…hey babe. Are you busy?”
“Uhm actually yeah. But what´s up?”
“Luke is in the operating room.”
“What? But why? I thought he´s fine?!”
“ I don´t know they do not tell me anything. I´m just scared that there is something wrong. Why didn’t he tell me?”
“Mum, shall I come to you?”
“No Rory I know you have a lot to do in Yale. I will call you when I get some informations.”
“Uhm okay if you´re sure…Everything´s going to be fine.”
Lorelai suspired. “Yes I hope so. Bye hon.”
“Bye.”



Lorelai leant her head against the wall behind her and closed her eyes. After some minutes she heard some wheels creak and opened her eyes. There was Luke, asleep. “Luke? Are you okay?” But he didn´t answer so he just followed the bed into his room. The assistants connected Luke with a lot of wires. He looked so peaceful but very effete sleeping there.
She sat down next to him after all the people left the room. Lorelai caressed Luke´s cheek and his hand. How much she loved this man. She knew that he was always there for her and Rory, he never complained when he fixed her sink for the hundredth time. He gave her always the live-saving coffee whether he agreed to it or not. She wanted to marry Luke in two months and she still couldn´t believe that he was hers…

Luke moved a little and waggled with his nose. Lorelai loved that because he did that always when he slept. But Luke didn´t wake up, so she decided to take a seat and wait till he woke up. Again she closed her eyes and recognized for the first time that she was tired and exhausted. “Just a one-minute-nap….” She babbled and fell to sleep.
