Rory Gilmore never imagined how 30 seconds could change her life, one second before the phone call she was celebrating Lane's wedding the next her cell is ringing. Rory looked down at her phone the caller id was flashing Colin. She knew something bad had to of happened because she had a gnawing feeling in her stomach. She answered the phone
"Rory, love it's Finn"
"Finn what happen?" Rory asked in a panic
"Well you see love, our mate Logan went base jumping and well his 'chute didn't open and our buddy went down the cliffs like a tumbleweed."
"FINN how can you say this so calmly?" Rory asked, "Is he okay, and is he alive?" Rory asked crying
"Well he's a Huntzberger too stubborn to die, he is at New York Presbyterian he's on his way to surgery." Finn said calmly.
"I am on my way." Rory said in a blubber
"Love, I know you and Logan left on bad terms, but know he really does love you and only you."
"You know Finn, I think that is one of the first coherent things you have ever said." She giggled a little
"See you in an hour, love"
"Thanks Finn, but don't think you are off the hook!" Rory screamed
Rory walked into her mother's living room
"Dad, I have to leave it's an emergency Logan was in a terrible accident and I have to get to NY." Rory said crying
Chris hugged her, and said, "You go I'll take care of your mom"
"Thanks dad, tell her I will call her in the morning"
"Bye kiddo."
Rory arrived to NY in record timing granted it was going 80 mph down I-95. She ran into the hospital and to the ICU where Finn had told her he had been moved.
"Colin, Finn!" Rory yelled
"Rory glad you are hear, you see the Dr.'s wont tell us anything, because of those HIPPA laws, I mean how stupid is that, but I know as a future lawyer of America these cases are going to be the moneymakers." Colin said in a ramble
"So, where's his family?" Rory asked, Colin and Finn looked at her like she had three heads
"Of course…" she said pissed
"Well his real family is right here," Colin, said pointing to him Finn and Rory.
"well in the meantime while I think of a plan, let me tell you, you two are the biggest idiots I have ever met, what makes you think you can go base jumping when you are so drunk you can't even walk 5 feet!!" Rory yelled
Finn and Colin looked at her in shock they still could not believe she yelled at them right in the middle of the waiting room
"you know what forget I asked, I have and idea that can get us around this whole confidentiality thing, I'll be back in 30 minutes, I really want to see him but it would blow my cover I will be right back, in the meantime make yourselves useful, like go and shower you two look and smell disgusting."
Rory did not know what she was doing what she was about to do could really screw some things up but like Colin said she was his family, and dammit she was going to get an answer. Before she knew what she was doing, she was walking out of the hospital hailing a cab to Tiffany & CO. because she had to make this look legit. About 10 minutes later she walked out of the cab and was now standing in front of Tiffany's she couldn't believe what she was about to do, so she walked in and explained to the sales man that she need a wedding band, the most elegant and cheap one available and 10 minutes later she was walking out with her turquoise box, and a ring on her all so important finger.
As promised Rory was back in 30 minutes, Colin and Finn were gone and she walked up to the Nurses station.
"Hello I am here to see Logan Huntzberger, and what condition he is in." She said giving her doe eyes.
"Are you family?" the nurse asked
Rory felt a lump in her throat; she had not actually said this out loud before. "I am his wife"
"Wife?" the nurse asked confused
"Yes, wife." Rory said with confidence
"Well, you aren't listed as his health proxy." The nurse said sternly
"That's because we were married about 2 months ago and we didn't change it. Now I demand you tell me what is going on with my husband!" Rory raised her voice, not noticing how eloquently her sentenced flowed. "Would you like to see the marriage certificate, our joint checking?"
"that will not be necessary, no if you will follow me I will show you to Mr. Huntzberger's room, I will send Dr. Schultz in shortly." The nurse said in a defeated voice.
Rory walked into the room startled by the man in front of her, there ever so strong Logan Huntzberger lay in a hospital bed sleeping or unconscious, she was not sure, but the fact that he lay their helpless made her begin to cry. She was interrupted when Dr. Schultz cleared his throat.
"Mrs. Huntzberger" the doctor said
"Rory, please call me Rory, Mrs. Huntzberger is his mother."
"Well, Rory your husband has sustained many injuries, he is now in recovery, he had a collapsed long, a dislocated knee, and he is pretty banged up, we are waiting for him to awake from the anesthetics shortly. Again we apologize for not contacting you, we weren't informed he was married." The dr. said
"It's new, and well he went away with his friends, and we had a little fight, that I was mad at him for, and then his 2 dopey friends were frightened to call me to tell me, they thought I wouldn't come, and well that proves that they are even more stupid. I mean he is my husband, sure I was mad at him but all the bad can't cancel out how much I love him." Rory said in hysterics.
"Rory, there is a cafeteria downstairs why don't you get a cup of coffee and come back, we will find a comfortable chair for you to sit in, until he wakes up." The dr. said.
On the way down to the café Rory ran into Colin "so I found out how he is doing, he is in recovery and he had a collapsed lung, broken leg among numerous other injuries, we are lucky he is alive."
"But how?" Colin asked mystified.
"I went bought a ring, and said I was his wife of 2 months," Rory said quickly in a whisper.
"WIFE?" Colin yelled
"Yes, wife. Now I say we don't tell Finn it will just confuse him more than it confuses you. Now if you would excuse me I am in dire need of coffee, then I am going to sit with him until he wakes up."
"Rory, you do not know what you have started." Colin said worried
"No, big deal, Logan will get a chuckle," Rory said
"it' not Logan I am worried about, but word will get out somehow and then the family will know."
