It had been a week since Logan had rushed Rory to the hospital, a week since he had needed to be calm and composed even when he was feeling anything but. Alice, their obstetrician, had arrived at the hospital minutes after they had and managed to stop the early labour that Rory had been in. At 37 weeks, the twins would be perfectly healthy if they arrived, but would need assistance breathing. So Rory was put on bed rest and was given steroid injections to ensure their lungs were developed.

And that is why Logan found himself sitting alone in the coffee shop in the lobby of the hospital, on the phone to his sister.
"So after a week of doing nothing but laying in a hospital bed, she cracked it. I don't know what to do, Honor…" It was at this point that he finally caved and let the tears flow. "…she's so unhappy in there. How can I help her?"
"Oh, baby brother, I know it's hard. Let's talk about you first, then we'll get to how you can help my beautiful sister-in-law. Have you been there with her the whole time?"
"Yep, I left for an hour on the second day to grab some things, but other than that I've been here."
"Well, I'm definitely not recommending that you leave her there alone, besides I know you'd ignore that suggestion. But you need some support, Logan. Has Colin come down to visit?"
"He's been too busy to leave work this week. He mentioned something about coming down this weekend, but he wasn't 100%."
"Ok, well, I'll give him a call and he and Steph will definitely be there for the weekend. What's happening with work at the moment?"
"Ben's managing at the moment, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried. He does seem to have it under control though. Just need to sort something out to cover Rory's role until dad makes it over."
"What about Steph, Logan? Can you transfer her to London for a few weeks?"
Logan took a few seconds to think about his sister's suggestion, "Do you think she'd do it?"
"Of course she will! You know she will! Now that that's sorted, let's talk about Rory. Have you brought her in some things from home? What about visitors?"
Yeah, a few things to make her more comfortable. And a few people have stopped by, but only from work."
"I'm surprised Emily hasn't shown up yet."
"I spoke to her a few days ago, she doesn't want Rory to feel overwhelmed having to entertain guests. Apparently Rory spoke to them about coming over once the babies are a few weeks old."
"Oh, Logan, that's ludicrous! Get on the phone with her now and tell her to come. You and Rory are incredible together, but honestly, you're having twins! You are going to need some support. Do you want me to come over there?"
Logan could feel his eyes welling up with tears yet again. "Would you mind?" he asked her quietly.
"Of course not, you know that. Josh won't get the leave approved at the moment, but I'll book the next flight out. And how about I call Emily and let her know what's going on over there?"
"Thanks, Honor. Really, thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Probably have a heart of stone like Shira. Now, you go and be with Rory. I'll text you the details once they're sorted. Love you."
"You're a life saver, Hon. Love you, too."

As he walked back into Rory's room, he felt a wave of calmness fall over him. It's all going to be fine, he thought to himself, everything's going to be ok.

He found Rory chatting on the phone, her red, puffy eyes a dead giveaway that she had been crying. She smiled at him as he sat in the armchair next to the bed, taking the phone away from her ear and placing it on speaker.
"Steph, Logan just walked in. Are you going to say yes?"
Logan raised an eyebrow at her, intrigued as to what the girls had been discussing.
"Of course I am, Ror. Anything to help the two of you out. When do you want us to come down?"
"On the weekend, perhaps? I'm sure you could use a few days to explain the day to day running to your assistant, just remind her that you'll be available for whatever she needs. All I need you to do is oversee the creative managers in the London office for a week or so, until Mitchum arrives. Are you sure you don't mind?"
"It's going to be brilliant! Besides, it means we can come and hang out with you guys and keep you company while we wait for these babies. What do you think, Logan?"
"I think Honor and I just had the same idea. I was going to give you a call and see if you'd be able to help out for a bit. Honestly, thanks for doing this, Steph."
"Anytime, Huntzberger. I've gotta run, need to call Colin before my meeting. I'll talk to you both tomorrow!"

"Are you sure it's ok, babe? I wanted to run it by you first, but we were chatting and it just came up."
"It's perfect, Ace. Really." he reached over to her and squeezed her hand, before relaying the conversation he'd had with Honor about their family coming over.
"Won't they be bored just sitting around here though? Surely they have better things to do than spend their days at the hospital."
"They love you, Ace. All of them…they'd do anything to make sure you were taken care of. Honor's going to organise flights and accommodation, so you won't need to worry about the house being absolutely perfect while they're here."
Rory took a deep breath in and released it slowly. "Thank you," she whispered quietly to her husband, "I love you."
"I love you too, babe." He stood up and laid next to her on the bed. "Why don't you have a rest for a little bit, and when you wake up we'll order takeaway for dinner. Sound good?"
"Sounds brilliant."

A few hours later, while Rory and Logan were enjoying their Thai takeaway, Logan's phone rang. He answered the call, immediately greeted by Finn yelling at him for not telling him that he was needed in London.
"Listen, mate, I know we aren't biological brothers, but we are as good as. Where do you get off not telling me that Rory needed us? That you needed us? It's not good enough, Huntz."
Logan chuckled to himself, and placed the phone on speaker. He opened his mouth to respond, but Rory got there first.
"Finn, darling, I'm sorry we didn't call. I didn't really let Logan know how I was feeling until today, otherwise, you would've been the first call, I promise."
"I don't want you to feel bad, love, we just wanted to be there for you both."
"Sorry mate," Logan said with a smile, "But I also know that you and Rosemary are a bit busy planning the move, I just didn't want to be a burden."
"A burden? Thick as a brick, you are. Anyway, that doesn't matter now. We're on our way to the airport."
"You're what?" Rory spluttered.
"Heading to the airport, love. Honor called to let me know that you needed some company, so we are on our way."
"Define 'we'," Logan mumbled.
"Well, let's see. There's me and Rosie, Honor, Richard, and Emily." Under his breath, Finn added, "Emily's not exactly ecstatic with either of you at the mo'. She feels that you lied to her. Just thought I'd give you the heads up." Finn's voice went back to its usual level as he continued, "We're using the HPG jet and will be there tomorrow morning. See you then!" And with that, he disconnected the call.
"Well," Rory began.
"Well," Logan repeated.
"I guess they're all coming to stay."
Logan looked up at Rory, expecting to see a defeated expression on her face. He smiled when he saw that he face was the happiest he had seen it in the entire week they'd been in the hospital.
"Geez, Ace, I would've called them days ago if I knew it would make you this happy. I thought you didn't want visitors when the girls were born?"
"I didn't, babe. But I think this is going to be perfect!"

I know a lot of you were hoping that the babies would be born this chapter, but I promise they'll be born really, really soon. I really wanted this chapter to show just how much their close family and friends support them, and how much they do care.

As always, let me know what you think xxx
