Gas fumes: You do not have to worry. The bad smell in the gas is put in there so you can smell it. Once you recognize it you will avoid it. You did not get exposed to enough to cause any problems. Do not worry. You will be fine. Just make sure your gas knob is turned completely off on the stove at all times. Your pilot light should be functioning well, if not get it checked. Good luck!
