"What do you mean 'until the family finds out', Colin?" Rory asked
"I mean what I sad, it's going to come out one way or another and man, it may get ugly." Colin said
"his family HATES me, not so much Mitchum as Shira." Rory said sullenly
"what's done is done, so you have to keep it on the down low."
"I know, let me get back to Logan, can you do me a favor and go to Starbucks and get e a venti house blend, with 3 shots of espresso."
"sure, I'll take Finn with me"
"Excuse me Mrs. Huntzberger, but Mr. Huntzberger is expected to wake soon" said the nurse
"thank-you….?""
"Molly," responded the nurse
"Molly when you hear an Australian accent I suggest you run in the opposite direction, you see Logan's friend Finn has a thing for red headed women, and well you have red hair so I am just giving you fair warning, I sent him on a coffee run so it may be a while."
"Thank you" the nurse said.
Rory walked into Logan's room and sat there waiting for him to wake up, it was about a half hour later when she heard a moan. Rory sprang from her seat.
"Logan, your up, thank god I was so worried, you have no idea, for a moment I thought I lost you, and Logan I can't loose you." She said in one breathe in between tears.
"Ace, look at me I am hear, not going anywhere, I am up" he said holding her hand
"I'm sorry" she said
"sorry? For what?"
"for freezing you out, you get that enough from your family and I let you leave without kissing you goodbye or telling you that I love you." She said in tears. Rory bent down and kissed his forehead
"I love you" Logan said "know that"
"I love you too."
"so can you get the dr. so he can fill me in on what has been wrong with me." Logan said
"well you had a collapsed lung, a broken leg, and well bruises and scraps, all your operations are finished and they were just waiting for you to wake up." Rory said
"Shit," Logan exhaled "but wait how did you get that out of the Dr. with the laws and everything, because I am sure, not one member of my family has been here."
"Well that's the funny thing, before you think you lost part of your memory or something, the reporter in me found a way around it, I sorta told the nurse I was your wife of 2 months." Rory said holding her left hand up
"My what?" Logan asked shocked
"Your wife" Rory whispered. Logan then took her left hand, "well I must say that I have excellent taste in jewelry" that earned Logan a slap. It was then the dr. walked in
"Mr. Huntzberger I am Dr. Schultz, its great to see you up, your wife and friends have been her all night, I was worried about this one," he said pointing to Rory " she was a nervous wreck…." Logan smiled at Rory.
"Well your vitals are good so I am going to leave you two alone." The dr. said.
"Now, please tell me the story from the beginning." Logan asked
"Well you see I was at lane's wedding and then I got the phone call from Finn, which was surprisingly coherent. then I got here, and Colin rambled about they wouldn't release any of your information to them, and I asked about your family, and shocker they weren't coming, then Finn with his words of wisdom said that we are your real family and that's when the idea came to me. So I ran out of the hospital, I was going to go to Macy's but then I remembered I had to make it look legit, so I asked to be dropped at tiffany's it was a little early but I flashed the black card my dad gave me and I walked in and asked for a ring, made it back hear had the ring on went to the nurses station. She gave me a hard time about how I wasn't your health proxy so I trapped and took a risk and said we were only married for 2 months, would you like to see our joint checking, or the marriage license, then she told got the dr. for me and told me what was wrong with you."
"my little Ace, you are such a bad ass, so does anyone other than the hospital staff know?"
"Well Colin, I kept Finn in the dark, it was probably better. They went to go get me coffee about 45 minutes ago."
Logan grabbed Rory's hand again, "thank you for being nervous, and loving me even though I am an ass sometimes."
"Well it comes with the territory." Rory giggled.
"Well we better hope that neither families get wind of this."
"That's what Colin said, but I don't really see how they will." Said Rory
At that time, Rory's cell phone began to ring. The words flashing dad appeared on the screen.
"Logan, can you give me a minute my dad is calling, my mom got really drunk last night at lane's wedding, I have to see how she is doing."
"GO, go ahead" Logan said giving Rory a nudge
"Hey dad" Rory said "how's mom, she hung-over?"
"yeah, but that's not what I am talking about, you see the ever so curious Amex called me this morning about a mysterious charge on the account, seeing that I was 6 in the morning and the store is really open they called me about a 5,000 dollar charge to the account at tiffany's. I told them there must be a mistake but to tell me what charge card it was on so they told me Rory Gilmore. I asked to look at the purchase, so they then transferred me to the store when they told me that a young girl around 22 came it with a black card, she had brown hair, and big blue eyes, she said it was an emergency… she came in a bought a wedding band…." Chris ending in a rant
Rory listened in awe never thinking Amex would call her dad about a fraudulent charge, panic washed over her face
"Rory you there"
"yeah, dad" Rory said
"Rory did you make the purchase?"
"yeah"
"would you like to tell me why?" chrism asked as if he were pulling teeth
"I would, but I can't tell you at the moment…. Bye dad I will call you in an hour or two" Rory said as she hung up the phone
Lorelai woke to the sound of chris' voice on the phone. She got up out of bed and trekked down to the kitchen where she saw chris making coffee.
"we need to talk" chris said
"I know, but aspirin, I need aspirin and coffee, and a taco"
"aspirin's out, coffee is made and the taco is in the microwave." Chris said
"thank you" Lorelai said
"you will not believe who I just got off the phone with" Chris said in a rather pissed voice
"Who?" a groggy Lorelai said.
"well, first is was American Express to inform me that there was a 5000 dollar charge made to my account at a tiffany's in new York city, under the young Rory Gilmore. It was then I was directed to the tiffany's store where they tell me, a young girl with big blue eyes and brown hair, knocked on the door and flashed her black card, and then proceeded to buy a wedding ring for 5000. I then called our loving daughter who is usually lengthy in her answers, answer in a yeah, and then dad I have to call you back…"
"I am so lost, didn't Rory sleep here last night?"
"that's right you don't know, Logan was in a terrible accident and was rushed to the hospital in costa rica and then transferred to new York Presbyterian... I have no clue how he's doing, except that Rory proceeded to buy a wedding ring at 6 in the morning."
" Chris, you don't think Rory had a minister marry her and Logan at the last minute before he might of died?"
"NO, she's too young…."
Rory entered Logan's room panicked.
"Rory everything alright?"
"My dad just called about the 5000 dollar charge on the Amex?" she said
"well what did you tell him?'
"I hung up and told him I would call him back"
"ACE, go call him back, and tell him the truth, we don't need your mom's wild imagination to start running, hell go any further then it has!"
Rory scrambled out of the room,
