Chapter 10: Hospital Visits and Memories

"Hey Bella," Rory said walking in to Bella's hospital room. She had been coming in about twice a week with Logan since the accident had happened. That was over 3 months ago. Rory liked to hope that maybe if she kept talking to Bella that it might help her condition. Rory and Logan would come in and tell Bella about their day whenever they could..

"Well, Daddy and I are talking about moving closer to New York. You would come with us, of course," Rory paused. It was hard to live with the constant reminder of Bella whenever they were at the apartment. "Finn, Steph, and Colin live there, too. So they might come and visit you, too. And Daddy got a promotion yesterday, too just a small one though, no more hours than he works now, but its up closer to New York, and he would have to drive up there daily. He feels bad that he can't come visit you today. He had to go into New York for a very important meeting. Bilbo misses you too, but Daddy and I are very good to him. Me and Daddy take him for walks, and we've switched to this new cat food that we think he likes better," Rory said. She continued to tell Bella about her day and plans. After about thirty minutes Rory got up. "See you later Bella," She said walking over and kissing her on the forehead. She left the hospital room, and drove home.

She got out a book and began to read until Logan came home.

"Hey Ace," Logan said. Rory smiled weekly.

"Hey Logan,"

"So have you had dinner yet?" Logan asked.

"No not yet, do you want Chinese?" Rory asked.

"Mmm…" Logan said picking up the order form.

"Hey," He said as Rory snatched it out of his hands.

"You never order enough," She said playfully.

"That is not true,"

"Yes it is,"

"No it's not,"

"Yes it is," Rory said sticking out her tongue.

"You win. I don't think I can compare to that wonderful comeback,"

"That's right, you can't. I am the champion!" Rory said triumphantly calling in the order. After a while the doorbell rang and Rory answered it taking the food. They ate in silence. Rory put the food away and then sat on the couch next to Logan.

"How did your meeting go?" Rory asked.

"Boring," Logan said.

"Well I imagined as much. Anything else?"

"Not really," Logan said.

"Well we sure are interesting,"

"It takes two to convo,"

"Hey I'm trying…so…. How's that weather?"

"Weather, Ace,"

"Yeah. It's um nice,"

"Are you that bored of me?"

"Yes that's it,"

"I guess I can tell my mistress that she doesn't have to kill you,"

"Mistress!" Rory said in fake distress.

"I have needs," Logan said.

"Am I just not doing it for you?" Rory said leaning into him. They hadn't been 'close to' each other since the crash.

"No," Logan said.

"Is there anything I could do to change your mind?" Rory asked.

"I can think of a few things," Logan said leaning in and kissing her. She missed the way his lips felt against hers. He moved his arm to rub against hers.

She deepened the kiss, and moved her hands to his hair. His blonde hair. His hair that he had passed on to their daughter. Their daughter that was in coma. She stopped her actions.

"Logan, not tonight," Rory said searching for an excuse, other than Your hair reminds me of our daughter who just so happens to be in a coma, and I can't look at you without thinking about her. Rory quickly thought up a lie, "I have an early meeting tomorrow," Rory said. Logan sighed and puffed out his breath pouting.

"Ok," He said walking off and getting ready for bed.

What's wrong with me? Rory asked herself silently. She shrugged it off, and joined Logan in bed.

----------------

Rory left early the next morning to comply with what she had told Logan.

"Rory," her boss called her in.

"Yes,"

"You're too good for this place," He said calmly.

"Thank you, I think," Rory said confused on where this was going.

"But," Oh Geeze Rory thought, "we are having to do some financial cut backs. I think that we have no more to offer you, and that you would be better suited in a more prominent paper," he said.

"So…"

"We are going to have to let you go,"

"But I love working here,"

"I know that,"

"So..." Rory said getting a hurt look in her eyes.

"Don't think of it that way," He paused, " I am willing to write any recommendations that you might need. In fact I know someone at the times who needs a reporter I can call, if you want," he said.

"That would be excellent,"

"I'll give him a call,"

"Thank you so much," Rory said walking out of the office. She walked over to her desk and began to clear some of the stuff off it. She was glad that this had happened, actually. She had been working there for too long. She needed to move on.

----------------

"Hey Logan," Rory said when Logan got home from work.

"Hey Ace,"

"Guess what!"

"What!"

"I am no longer employed!" Rory said jumping up and down.

"And you are excited about this?" Logan asked, not believing that she was excited about it.

"Well that means we can move to New York," Rory said happily.

"I thought you loved your job,"

"I do. It was time to move on. We had a good run,"

"Well this is exciting because I have some news too,"

"Really! Do tell,"

"I've found the Maltese Falcon,"

"The one that wasn't made of lead?"

"No, I chipped of the top layer, made of lead,"

"Damn,"

"Ok Ace. Wait for it," Logan paused pulling some keys out of his pockets, "I bought us an apartment,"

"What!"

"I bought us an apartment in New York,"

"Why?"

"I just thought we needed a place to go, and my job at the paper will call me down there, so I've been looking around for a while, and I just bought one today," Logan said sheepishly. From the look on Rory's face he thought that she was mad at him. He was startled when she ran up to him and hugged him.

"Thank You!" Rory said into his neck.

"So good surprise," Logan asked.

"When can we move?" Rory asked.

"Whenever you want,"

Rory leaned in to him and kissed him.

"Is there anything I can do to thank you?"

"Well…" Logan said raising his eyes suggestively. Rory laughed lightly and leaned into him to kiss his jaw. Logan ran his hands up and down her arms. Rory continued to kiss his jaw and moved her hands to his belt. She paused for a second and looked into his eyes. When he looked at her ocean blue eyes, it sparked memories. He remembered Bella's first walk, and her first words, and that she was sitting in a hospital bed now. He pulled away.

"What is it?" Questioned Rory.

"I just have to finalize some stuff in the office for the change, because I'll be working there a lot more, and I just need to find a suitable replacement as fast as I can. I could do it later but if we want to move anytime soon, I should start as soon as possible,"

"OK," Rory said disappointed.

"We can move as early as next weekend if you want,"

"And with my job gone, I can pack. I'm so excited!!!" Rory squealed.

"We would have to buy boxes, and throw away some stuff, and…" Rory began, starting to make lists, and plans. Logan however couldn't get his mind off of those blue eyes of his wife…and daughter.

----------------

"I love it!" Rory said excitedly walking into their new apartment in New York.

"I though you would like to see it," Logan said, receiving a hug from Rory.

"See, Ace, now it's big enough that you don't have to put your books in the cabinets,"

"They liked it there, it's cozy,"

"Well now they have nice shelves to sit on,"

"What if they like the cabinets?"

"Well they are inanimate objects so…"

"We're putting them in the kitchen cabinets anyways," Rory muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Logan asked raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing…" Rory tried to hide.

"I'll get it out of you," Logan said reaching over and tickling her.

"Stop….it…." Rory said through laughs.

"Not until you tell me what you said," Logan said smirking.

"Fine…Fine…" Rory said making Logan relent taking his hands off her.

"Ha! You fell for my trick!" She said running away. "I'll never tell!" Rory said from the opposite side of the apartment. Logan ran after her and caught her and they fell to the ground, him tickling her. She giggled happily. Logan had heard that before, Bella used to laugh like that. Logan stood up abruptly, and looked away from Rory's flushed face.

"What is it," She asked standing up.

"Nothing," He said not looking at her.

"Baby," Rory said turning his face toward hers. She could see pain in them.

"I know that's not true," Rory said.

"Just, the way you laugh, reminds me of…her," Logan said. Rory smiled sadly.

"Your hair," Rory said.

"Your eyes,"

"Your smirk," They were both silent for a while.

"Let's keep the old apartment for when she wakes up," Rory said.

"Ok. We'll keep her room the way it was," Logan said.

"I'd like that," Rory said. "Ready to go back," Rory said after a second or two. Logan slung his hand over her shoulder as they walked out of the apartment.

----------------

"Hey Bella," Logan and Rory said walking into their daughters hospital room. They both sat down on either side of her.

"We're moving out of the old apartment today," Rory said,

"Don't worry though, you're stuff will stay where it was," Logan said.

"We won't see you for a while, because they're going to move you to a hospital close to our apartment in New York, but it will take a while,"

"We'll be taking Bilbo with us. We tried to litter train him, doesn't understand the idea," Logan laughed idly. Both him and Rory filled Bella in on things that were going on in their lives.

" Bye Bella," Rory said kissing her forehead.

"Bye Babe," Logan said following suit.

----------------

"This is the last of it," Logan said carrying in the last box they had for their new apartment.

"I can't believe we moved all of it," Rory said looking around. Finn and Colin had come over to help for a while, same with Luke and Lorelei. They had all left, though, and now it was just Rory and Logan in the apartment. The furniture had been moved a few days earlier.

Rory couldn't help, but think that they were like newlyweds again. Just married and terrified that they were pregnant. Rory remembered how horrified she had been, but how Logan had talked her into it being a good thing. Sadness overwhelmed her. She set down on a couch in the room. She covered her eyes with her hand. She looked at Logan, who was busy with a box, and didn't notice her soft crying. His blond hair. His strong jaw line. His trademark smirk. All she could think about was how much Bella was like him. It was all too much. She just couldn't handle it. She let out a soft cough, causing Logan to look over at her.

"Hey," Logan said looking over at her. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"You," Rory said crying.

"What do you mean?"

"You, I can't look at you,"

"I don't understand,"

"I can't look at you," hiccup, " without thinking about her," Rory sobbed. Logan tried to hug her, but Rory pulled away.

"I think we should take some time apart," Rory said not looking Logan in the eye.

Logan couldn't say anything; he was stunned. He hadn't expected this in the least. Rory took his silence for acceptance and began to gather some of her boxes up, and load them onto a carrier they had got to help them take stuff up to their apartment.

"What did I do?" Logan choked out.

"Nothing. Don't think you did anything. You did everything right. It's me. I just my stupid self, you're the perfect guy, but I just can't take it. She looks just like you, acts just like you. I just can't handle it anymore. I just need some time to accept it, and I can't be around you during that time. You are a constant reminder of her, and I can't except it with you around me," Rory said.

"I'll be here, when you're ready to come back. I'll wait for you,"

"Thank you, Logan. I love you," Rory said hugging him, and walking out of the apartment.

A/N: This is kind of a cliffy. This was another thing I've been planning for forever. I think I need a Beta. I don't know how to get one though… w/e. I just had another idea for a story, so I think I'll wrap this one up in about oh… I don't know…4 chapters, I think. I don't know for sure. I really like my other idea; it's from a dream so it's different.
