When Rory, Dean and Lane entered the children's ward all the children were waiting for them. Jumping up and down with excited looks on their faces wearing their pj's. Rory looked around and felt sorry for the children. They should be at home, spending Christmas with their family. But when she saw all the kids smile and laugh the feeling disappeared. She smiled when a little girl ran up to her and asked her if she was one of Santa's elves.
R: ''Yes I am. What's your name ?''
C: ''My name is Cindy,what's yours ?''
R: ''My name is Rory. Why are you in the hospital ?''
C: ''I broke my arm.''
Cindy pointed at her broken arm.
R: ''What happened ?''
C: ''I fell of the swing.''
R: ''Does it hurt ?''
C: ''No.''
R: ''Can I tell you a secret Cindy ?''
Cindy gave her a little smile and nodded.
R: ''I broke my arm a while back too.''
C: ''Really, how did it happen ?''
R: ''I got in an accident with the sleigh. See elves are not allowed to drive Santa's sleigh, but I did it anyway and got in an accident.''
C: ''Was Santa mad ?''
R: ''Well of course....without the sleigh we couldn't get to this hospital.''
C: ''But you made it.''
R: ''Yes we did, don't tell anyone my secret okay.''
C: ''I won't.''
R: ''Now I'm sure Santa has a gift for you somewhere in his bag, why don't you go and see.''
C: ''Okay, bye Rory.''
Rory smiled as she watched Cindy ran up to Dean. Dean gave her a present and she thanked him. When Rory was done handing out gifts Cindy walked up to her again. This time she had a brown bear in her arms.
R: ''Wow, did Santa give you that ?''
C: ''Yeah, just what I wanted. You wanna know what I called her ?''
R: ''Sure, tell me.''
C: ''Teddy.''
R: ''Great name.''
C: ''I have to go now. I have to go to bed.''
R: ''Bye.''
Rory looked up. She felt someone staring at her. She looked around and smiled when she saw Jess standing against the wall with his hands in his pockets, smiling at her.
Jess couldn't help but smile. Rory looked so happy handing out presents to little children. He wasn't big on the whole giving thing. His mom never did anything on Christmas,he never got any gifts. He saw Dean looking his way. way. Jess gave Rory one last look and turned around to leave.
Dean put a fake smile on his face while he said goodbye to the kids. What was Jess doing here ? But he knew the answer when he saw Rory smiling at Jess and Jess doing the same. He had to have a little talk with Rory, to see if her heart was still true to him.
Lane: ''What was he doing here ?''
R: ''Don't know.''
Lane: ''Don't give me that.''
R: ''Give you what ?''
Lane: ''You like him, don't you ?''
R: ''No I don't. I have Dean.''
Lane: ''Whatever you say.''
R: ''Okay maybe I like him a little.''
Lane: ''I knew it, did you tell Dean yet ?''
R: ''Are you kidding, he hates Jess.''
Lane: ''Who doesn't.''
Rory stepped outside and was disappointed to see that it wasn't snowing yet. It wasn't Christmas without snow.
D: ''Rory, can we talk for a minute ?''
Rory turned around to look at Dean. He had a serious look on his face.
R: ''Now ? Here ? Can't it wait ?''
D: ''It's really important.''
R: ''Sure.''
She watched Dean carefully. Something was wrong with him.
D: ''I saw Jess........in the hospital.........and I saw you looking at him.''
He saw........??? Of course he saw, it wasn't like Jess to hide from Dean.
R: ''I was surprised to see him, I thought he didn't care about the whole Christmas thing.''
D: ''It was more than that.''
R: ''No...........''
D: ''Rory..........I saw the look in your eyes. You used to look at me that way.''
R: ''I still do.''
D: ''No you don't. I pretended not to see all the signs, but I can't anymore.''
R: ''What signs ?''
Rory knew what he was talking about, but she wanted to hear it from him.
D: ''The secret smiles you give him, when you think I'm not looking, the way you look at him........do I need to go on ?''
Rory didn't say a thing. Dean noticed all that ?!
D: ''So I'm going to ask you a question and I would really like it if you gave me an honest answer...............Do you have feelings for Jess ? If you say no I'll forget about everything I saw, but if you say yes.......................''
Rory took a step back to look into Dean's blue eyes. They were begging her to say no. And deep inside something was telling her to say no too. It would be foolish to throw her relationship with Dean away. But she couldn't hide her feelings anymore. She knew what she had to say and Dean probably knew the answer too. She wasn't even sure if Jess liked her, but it wasn't fair to Dean to keep him around just because she wasn't sure. She took a deep breath and kept staring into his eyes.
R: ''Yes, I do have feelings for Jess.''
Dean looked away and moved away from Rory.
R: ''I'm sorry Dean, I didn't mean to.''
D: ''..........I know........................I guess there's only one thing left to do then...............''
Rory nodded, she knew what was going to happen now.
D: ''Rory............it's over between us.''
She knew he was going to break up with her and she expected it, but when Dean said those words it still hurt.
R: ''I guess it is..............I'm so sorry.''
D: ''You don't have to feel bad anymore...........Come one I'll take you and Lane home.''
R: ''No you two go, I'll walk.''
D: ''Rory it's a long way to walk.''
R: ''I know, just go please.''
D: ''Okay....................Merry Christmas.''
Rory watched Dean get in the car and drive away leaving her all alone in front of the hospital. Well at least she didn't have to lie to Dean anymore and she couldn't hurt him anymore. She wrapped her arms around herself and started to walk. After a while the tears came.
