(Rory's point of view)
When we landed in Hartford I hurried off the jet. I was so happy to see Logan waiting for me. I ran into his arms and started crying. "It's okay Ace. I got you. Come on Baby let's get you to the hospital." He said as we slowly walked hand in hand. I felt so overwhelmed by the fear. I was happy Logan was there to keep me up right.
As we drove I wondered where Austin was. "Where's Austin?" I asked. "He's with my Mom. She offered to keep him so I could pick you up and stay with you." Logan answered. I nodded and told him about Sectary Clinton. When we arrived at the hospital Grandma and Grandpa were in the waiting room along with Jess, Sookie, Liz, and my Dad. I know it probably sounds really foolish but I was glad Dad was there. I feel like a kid saying oh good my Daddy is here.
Jess approached me first. "Hi Rory you okay?" Jess asked. "How's Mom?" I questioned back that was more important. "She's hanging in there but Will's heart rate has dropped. They decide they need to do an emergency c-section with in the next couple of hours." Jess answered looking very concerned. I nodded and went to greet everyone. I hugged my Grandparents who both looked very worried. Then I hugged Sookie I could tell she had been crying. Dad took me to the side. "Oh Rory I can't believe this is happening. No matter what has happened I'll always love your Mom I am really hoping both she and Will can be okay." Dad said hugging me. "Thank you Dad." I said glad to have his reassurance.
I saw Luke coming into the waiting room. He ran over to me. "Oh Rory I'm so glad you're here I thought you might not make it before the c-section." Luke rambled. Then he hugged me. "How is she?" I asked. "Better than she was but Will's heart rate keeps dropping and her blood pressure is still high." Luke answered. "Jess just told me." I said. "Why don't you so see her they are preparing her for surgery now?" Luke suggested.
I nodded and left them to go see Mom. When I entered the ICU room, I was shocked to see twice the machines. "Oh Rory I'm so glad you made it." Mom said as she saw me. I hugged her tightly and then rubbed her belly. "How was your interview?" Mom asked like it was just a normal day. "Mom you're in the ICU about to have a c-section." I said. "I know that but I'm scared. I'm worried about Will and I need you to keep my mind busy." Mom said. "Actually Sectary Clinton noticed my mind was else where." I said.
"What happened?" Mom asked curiously. "We are finishing the interview by e-mail. And Mom I quit my job." I said quickly. "What? Why would you do that Ror?" Mom asked. "I miss you and I want to see my brother grow up. I want to be closer to my family and friends. And I want to be with Logan and Austin." I admitted. Mom sighed and smiled. "Welcome home Rory." Mom said. "Thanks Mom promise me you'll be okay. You and Will I don't want to lose either of you." I said. "I'm going to be fine we both are." Mom said touching her stomach.
They made me leave a few minutes later. I hugged Mom and went out to the waiting. A nurse came and got Luke shortly after I returned to the waiting room. Lane, Zack, T.J., and Jackson had all shown up. Dad and Logan were sitting together. Logan got up and let me sit between them. Dad put his arm around me while Logan held my hand.
