Ch. 13 Rory and Mich
Logan paced the floor. Lorelei was hysterical and while Sooke tried to calm her. Rory was undergoing an emergency C-section and then they would have to deal with Rory's unconsciousness. Soon a nurse came into the waiting room.
"Mr. Huntzenburger, your son is born."
"What about Rory how is Rory?"
"She is still unconscious. She had stress related brain swelling."
"Will she be okay?"
"Yes once the swelling goes down, we'll give her a few days of fluids and then get Cat scan done to make sure nothing else is wrong."
"When can I see her? When can I see Mich?"
"Well Mich can be seen in about three hours but Rory still has to be hooked up to machines to monitor everything. You may be able to see her in the morning."
"What? I can't see Mich now, what's the matter?"
"Well he was having some trouble breathing on his own, so he is hooked up to a machine. We need to monitor him in a controlled environment until he is begins to show signs of improvement."
"Oh god, as soon as I can see him call this number, please!"
"No problem."
Logan sank into a chair. Everything with Ciara had been so smooth, why was everything going wrong now? He glanced at his cell phone. The wallpaper was a picture of Rory and Ciara laughing at a movie just yesterday. Logan shook his head; it could all be over in the blink of an eye. He didn't realize it but tears were running down his cheeks and onto his shirt collar. Right before he dozed off the nurse that told Logan his son was born came and tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped from fear and then realized who it was.
"Mr. Huntzenburger, you may see your son now."
"Really?"
"Yes, follow me."
Logan was so excited, he couldn't wait to see Mich and when he walked into the room he saw him. He had a tube on his nose and an IV but other than that he was beautiful. As the nurse allowed him to hold him, the room seemed to freeze around himself and his son. As Logan held Mich he realized what everything was about, his family. Nothing else mattered if he didn't have Rory, Ciara, and Mich. He looked at his son who began to fade into sleep. A tear leaked from Logan's eye, down his cheek and onto Mich's hand as he told him how much he loved him.
