Still Loving You
A/N: Thanks for the reviews. Muhahahahaha
Chapter 8: Looking past the bad
The hospital room was silent except for the incessant beeping of the machine hooked up to Rory. "Tris aren't you happy?" she asked nervously. "You should tell her Tristan," Lorelai whispered. He took Rory's free hand. "Rory, sweetheart you know I love you, right?"
"Yeah," she replied softly scared of what he was going to say. "I never EVER want to hurt you,"
"I know Tristan, now what's wrong?" he was silent for a minute or so. "Will you just tell me already," she said nervously. "Rory," he said sadly. "You miscarried the baby," she began crying softly at first. "I'm sorry Rory," he whispered letting go of her hand and backing up away from her. "Tristan," she whispered hoarsely. "Yeah?" came his reply. "Will you just hold me? Please?" she begged him. He came over to her and opened his arms for her. She leaned into him, shaking. Lorelai, Paris and Jess all left the room quietly leaving the couple alone. "It's going to be okay, Ror I promise," he whispered rocking her back and forth. "Why didn't you tell me though?" he asked her gently. "I found out the day you got back. I was going to tell you on Sunday but then we had that fight,"
"You could've told me on the phone, though,"
"I know, I know but I wanted to see your face and see your reaction. Oh, god! I'm such a horrible person! I should've told you,"
"Your not horrible Rory. You being in that coma made me realize how special you are to me. I always took for granted how much you love me. I never will take it for granted again,"
"I love you Tris,"
"I love you too Ror," Rory eventually drifted off to sleep. Tristan came out physically and emotionally drained. He stumbled into a chair. "Hey Tristan you okay?" Lorelai asked him concerned. "Yeah," came his reply. "You sure?" Paris asked the concern obvious in her voice. "It broke my heart seeing Rory like that. I've never seen her go from so happy to so sad,"
"I know," Lorelai soothed him. "Mrs. Gilmore, Mr. DuGrey I heard Rory is out of her coma!" the doctor exclaimed excitedly. Tristan rolled his eyes while Lorelai tried to remain composed. "Yes doctor. Do you know when Rory will be able to get out of the hospital?" (The date is August 31st for this story) "September 3rd," Tristan brightened at the date. It was his and Rory's anniversary for beginning to date and when he had proposed to her. He knew he'd have to do something really special. A while later Rory woke up feeling horrible. Then she remembered the news Tristan had told her. She sighed and then spotted A Walk to Remember on the bedside table. According to her mother Tristan had been reading it to her. God, she loved him. She knew that Tristan hadn't wanted to tell her the news of the miscarriage. She had seen the look of pain on his face when he was telling her. Minutes later Tristan came into her room. "Hey Rory," he greeted sitting down next to the bed. "Hey," she greeted back. "Do you remember the time when we went into the fountain?"
"How can I forget," came her sarcastic reply. "Aww.Ror come on you know you had fun!"
"Yeah," she agreed with a laugh. "And the time you made me come and play outside because it was snowing?"
"Uh-huh," she replied an impish smile on her lips. "Tris?" she asked. "Yeah?"
"Think you could read to me?" she asked shyly. "Okay," he grabbed the book from the table and opened it. "Read here," she said patting the space beside her on the bed. He lay down next to her keeping his head propped up by his elbow. He began to read and Rory closed her eyes. His voice was soothing reminding her of all the other times he had read for her. Like when she was sick (which was never often) she'd beg him to read her fairy tales. He always would.he was like Luke and denying Lorelai coffee. Whenever he did read those types of stories he'd always change his voice for each of the characters, making her burst into a fit of giggles every time. He had never read anything like 'A Walk to Remember' to her but right now it was fitting and she liked it a lot. She drifted off to sleep again lulled by the sound of Tristan's voice. Soon after Tristan noticed Rory fell asleep he closed the book and kissed his wife's forehead. Then he too fell asleep, still drained from that morning.
