Ch. 11 Almost Time for Mich's Welcome

Slowly but surely Rory had finally made it into her ninth month. Her mom in her seventh month and they both were rather large and testy. Luke still in the hospital for nearly three and a half months was now talking full sentences. He wasn't knocked into childhood once more, just in pain a lot and it hurt his jaw to speak. He tried to be there for Lorelei as her pregnancy went on, but in some ways he couldn't be. His goal was that when Lorelei went into delivery to be able to go in with her. His arm was not quite as bad but he still had a cast on both legs. His collarbone had two pins and the shattered portion rebuilt and pinned in also. His nose was better and he could see clearly again. Luke knew that he had to hurry and get out; he had to be a father to his child.

Rory was sitting on the couch watching Willy Wonka with Ciara when Logan walked in. His face full of happiness as he looked at Rory who was due in three days. Everyday he had came home with a happy vibe about him. Rory thought that she would love for him to stay this way but not a chance.

"Ace, Come here a second."

"Okay, give me time to waddle over there," Rory joked waddling toward her husband.

When Rory arrived to him he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately for several minutes. Then slowly and sweetly he pulled away. Rory's face read a very surprised but pleased reaction.

"What was that for?"

"Oh just for being the best wife ever."

"Really?"

"Yeah, that and because very soon our son will be here!"

" I know I am excited."

"Well, I got you a little something," Logan replied pulling out a small box.

"Logan, you shouldn't have."

"Yes I did, now open it before I explode!" Logan said hurrying her along.

Rory opened the box and when she did she saw a beautiful silver chain with a silver locket on it. The two sides had diamonds and three rubies placed in the shape of a heart. Rory gasped as he opened the locket to show her a picture of the family and one that he created with an ultra sound picture and one of Ciara's pictures.

"Logan…It's…beautiful."

"Why thank you madam. Now I have a serious question. I found a nice plot of land for a good price."

"What? Where is it?"

"It's across the street from Lorelei's house. I know Luke was hurt there, but it wasn't the land's fault and Luke is getting better."

"Yes, but how will we deal with a new born, Luke, my new brother or sister, and building a house?"

"Well, I thought about it, and I have an idea."

"Okay shoot."

"Well, if we pay a monthly bill for twelve months the land will be paid off. Then Mich will be 1, your new sibling almost 1, and Luke probably twenty times better. Then we can build."

"Well, you know what?"

"What?"

"Let's do it!"
