Chapter 27: He Should Be Fine

It was about 1:30 that morning and Rory was lying down in her bed being held onto by Jess's strong arms. Jess was asleep but Rory was wide-awake staring at the telephone. All she wanted was for it to ring and her mom to be one the other end telling her everything was okay.

Suddenly the load ring of the telephone broke through Rory's thoughts. Jess jumped slightly as he awoke. Rory thought the sound was in her head and didn't move to answer it.

"Rory, phone" Jess said in an informative tone.

"Right…right, okay" Rory shook herself out of her thoughts and left the room to get the phone. She answered the phone quietly. After a few moments on the phone with her mom Rory hung up and walked back into the bedroom and silently lay back down next to Jess.

"What is it…is everything okay" Jess asked worried as he slid his arm under her.

"Yeah, I think he's going to be fine. She said something like a sudden aneurysm or something like that, I think she is planing to stay with him in Boston for the week or something. But he should be fine." She said in a voice that made Jess worry about her.

"But that's good…what's wrong, why don't you seem happier?" Jess asked her lightly running his hand through her hair.

"I don't know, I guess I was just really scared and now I'm just relieved. I don't know, I am happy though, I promise." Rory said with a soft smile.

Jess leaned close to her and kissed her softly for a moment before lightly kissing her forehead. "I know you are, baby" he whispered. "Get some sleep, okay?" He added lightly.

"Okay," She smiled laying down and resting her head on Jess's chest. He kissed the top of her head lightly as they both drifted off.
