Sorry for the way, I was supposed to update on Monday but I was too tired to do so, you can all blame Ryan Gosling for that. He was in Paris and I so had to meet him, MS and everything else be damned, I got my picture and I got to meet him!
I haven(t had time to read it again, I lost the other version I had and of course I didn't save it and it's 2:30 AM here xD . I'm working on the next chapter which should be up in about 2 weeks
Chapter 37
« Where is he ? » Rory asked Honor as she rushed into the ER. She did not slow down to hear the answer or even wait for her to catch up. Shira came out of a room with a nurse just as Rory was about to round the ER.
« Shira ! » she cried as she ran towards her. « How's Logan ? Is he hurt ? Is he awake. Where »
« Take a deep breath Rory, he's fine he was just with the doctor. Logan is fine, he'll be able to make a full recovery in the next few weeks. The doctor put a cast on his wrist but other than that he's fine. » Shira explained as Rory let out a sigh of relief. She encouraged Rory to go inside the room and see by herself Logan was fine.
She pushed the door and poked her head inside, she saw Logan sitting on the bed, his arm in a swing and of course Colin and Finn in the room.
« Why doesn't it surprise me to see you two here ? » Rory asked with a small small as tears fell from her eyes.
« Ace ! » Logan stood and went to her, wrapping his arms around her. She couldn't help but let out a sob of relief. He kissed the top of her head and wishpered words of reassurance, telling her he was fine.
« I was so scared. »
« I know that's why I asked Honor to get you before you heard from someone about the accident. I didn't want you to worry about it, stress isn't good for the baby. »
« I know, what happened ? Honor didn't really tell me a lot about the accident, how's Frank ? »
« It was a stupid accident, some guy ran a red light and crashed into the limo. He hit the back of the car, the side where I was sitting so Frank is fine, should I be worried about you worrying more about Frank than me ? » he asked jockingly. « I'm fine Rory, the doctor said to work less in the upcoming days, rest as much as I can and come back in two weeks to remove the cast if it looks good enough. »
« I was so scared when I heard about the accident, you can't leave me, ever, I don't know how to raise a baby let alone a little boy. Gilmores only give birth to girls, but of course you had to do change that and… »
« Boy ? We're having a baby boy ? »
« Sorry, I know you didn't want to know about it but the last few hours have been crazy and I don't know what I'm saying or doing and… » Logan cut her off by kissing her passionatly. Colin and Finn whistled while praising Logan for producing a heir on his first try.
« Well done Huntz, I'm sure Michtchum'll throw a male version of baby shower to celebrate the birth. » Colin congratulated Logan while Finn was wondering if he could bring alcohol into the hospital to celebrate.
« Thanks Colin and no Finn you can't bring alcohol into a hospital. »
Rory stood by Logan's side watching amused the debate between her fiancé and his best friend about the benefits alcohol can have on sick people staying in the hospital. Finally after ten minutes of pointless debate between the two friends, Rory cut the conversation short.
« Do you know when you can leave ? » she asked Logan as she took a seat on the bed, too tired to stay up longer.
« Whenever I want, I was only waiting for you to arrive before I could leave. Mom and Honor are probably gone by now, although they said they might drop by our place tonight or tomorrow. Do you want to go home ? »
« Yes, I think today's events and stress is catching up on me. »
« Alright, guys can you please grab my things and drop us at our place ? »
« Sure, I'll drive you home since it's on my way to the office. » Colin replied while Finn gathered Logan's briefcase, tie and suit jacket.
« How did they even know where we live ? » Rory asked frustrated as she dropped her handbag on the little table by the entrance of their home.
« They've known all along about the place where we live, they just didn't have a good reason to come. How about you go take a shower or bath while I order us something to eat. » he suggested. Rory nodded, she kissed him softly on the lips before she went into their bedroom.
When she woke up this morning she had never thought her day would turn like that, Logan in the hospital and her spending her time breaking down in tears again and again. She turned on the faucets of the bath tub, shed her clothes and added strawberry scent soap in the water. Rory checked the water's temperature before entering the bathtub and once inside she felt all her worry leave. She grabbed a remote control and turned on the music.
« Ace ? » she heard Logan say softly in her ear. « You should get out of the bathtube the water's getting cold. » Rory opened her eyes and looked around the bathroom, she had falled asleep, she nodded and took the towel Logan was holding for her. He wapped it around her body as soon as she exited the tub. Logan rubbed her wet body, he place a kiss on her cheek. « Go put you pjs on, the food should be here in a few minutes. » Rory nodded, still a bit sleepy. She went into their bedroom and grabbed a pair of yoga pants and one of Logan's Yale tshirt she had stolen from him.
« Don't you look cute in my tshirt. » Logan said, letting out a small whistle of appreciation from his place against the doorway. « If you're hungry the food's here, I ordered your favorite pizza. »
« Best fiancé ever, and baby agrees with me, he just kicked. »
« He already is sucking up to his father to get something and he's not even born yet. Don't worry son, you'll get whatever you want, no need to play teacher's pet. » Rory hit his chest.
« Hush you big idiot ! Don't talk about my child like that, he's a mommy's little boy. »
« Oh so this is how it's going be, mother over father ? »
« Yep, I'm the one carrying the baby for nine months, proteccting him, feeding him and the list goes on so I'll always have the upper hand on you. »
« How about you answer your phone instead of talking non sense. » Logan said handing her vibrating iPhone. Rory glanced at the name on the screen before putting it down. « Care to tell me why you're ignoring Emily's phone calls and text messages ? »
« Because I know what she wants to talk about, the accident and how it'll affect our wedding plans for this weekend. Mom sent me a text to warn me about her, she's going crazy worrying about it. I already called Grandpa to tell everything was fine and try to reign grandma. I had mom call the Haydens to tell them everything is better now. » Logan nodded agreeing with her, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to bring her closer.
« But you do realize she's not giving up and might show up on our doorstp at six o'clock in the morning wanting to know why you never called back. »
« I'll send her a quick message and apologize for not answering. »
« Good girl. » he dropped a kiss on her forehead and returned his attention to the news. A few minutes later the doorbell rang, he checked for the clock. « The food's here. »
Logan stood up and grabed his wallet on the way to the door making sure to keep his arm in the sling. Rory meanwhile went to grab his medication, she knew his arm was hurting him even if he hi dit well from her.
« Dad ? What are you doing here ? » Logan asked Mitchum when he opened the door. « Sorry I thought you were the delevery boy. »
« I met him in the elevator, here's your order. » Mitchum answered handing him the bag. Logan looked at his father surprised to hear about what happened, where did mean, scary Mitchum go ? « Don't look so surprised Logan, why waste that delivry boy's time, time is money. »
« Okay, do you want to come in ? »
« I would appreciate it, I did not come here to deliver a pizza. How are you son, how's your arm ? »
« I'm fine, it hurts a little but at least I'm alive. »
« Yes, and I'm sure Rory is relieved to know you made it unscathed, a broken arm and bruises is a miracle knowing the … »
« Dad could we please not talk about it anymore ? »
« Yes of course, so where's Rory ? »
« She's getting the plates and my meds while I'm supposed to pay for dinner, dad could you please not say anything about the accident. She's been worried sick since she heard about it although her stress level is lower now that she knows I'm fine. I don't want her to stress about it, it's not good for her and the baby. »
« Then I'm affraid you won't like what I'm here to say. » Mitchum said following Logan into the appartment.
« What is it ? »
« We should talk about it with Rory first, you need. »
