What makes it bearable


'Where is she, come back, be in my arms; I'll be safe with you, and you, me. Please, Rory please. I didn't plan my life this way, if I had the choice it would have just been me and you; but they're in my life…in yours. I know that it will be hard for you to except, but please… I'm yours for all eternity.' Logan stopped himself before he broke down in to even more tears. He tried to compose himself again, swallowing back the tears, Logan heard the door open. He stood up and turned to face the silhouetted figure standing in the doorway. "Hey."


"Where were you? I was worried sick about you." Logan moved cautiously towards Rory, she stood there in the open doorway not saying a word. "Say something." Rory stepped into the room. She shut the door behind herself. Dropping her things on the floor, she walked to Logan. She stood there facing him, then to Logan amazement she threw her arms around him.

"If you ever need someone ever again, I'm your girl." Rory voice was muffled by Logan's chest. But Logan could still hear her and took up in his arms. The two stood there with each other in the dark. "Logan, I know everything and its okay." Rory pushed away from Logan's chest. She put her hands on his tear stand face. "I'm here through it all, you need someone to talk to about 'the loneliness', I'm here; the troubles with your dad, I'm here; for everything I'm here; for your mental and physical needs, I'm here." Rory pulled his face down towards her. She saw him for who he was, he was not the little boy who listened to his father even if it meant leaving his girlfriend, no he was a boy trying to be a father, the best that he could. "I want to be with you, forever. I don't need a piece of paper to tell me that, Logan I'm yours. I love you, completely, and if that means that I have to share you with Noa, I'll do it, because Logan, I can't imagine life with out you." Logan pulled her in to a kiss. They had not shared a kiss like that since Honor's wedding. Rory felt Logan giving himself entirely to her.


Rory stared up at the ceiling. She felt the cold reach her through the sheets, Logan had gone to the bathroom. Pulling the sheets higher over her chest, she ran over all that happened with she and Logan in the past thirty-six hours. 'So he has a daughter, so he didn't tell me, I don't care. He told me when he was ready, and I accept it now, she doesn't change our relationship.' Rory stopped herself, she sat up; ' She made us stronger.'

" Logan, I want to meet her." Rory made the decision. She was ready, she wanted to meet Noa. " Why not trying another dinner?" Rory didn't hear an answer. Logan walked into the room, his mouth foaming from the toothbrush he had in his hand; Rory giggled a little, he was wearing nothing at all except the pair of black socks that he had worn to work that day.

" Are you sure that you want to do that, I mean…." Logan's voice was slurred by the toothpaste foam as he spoke.

" I'm sure. I mean if she's going to be part of your life she's part of mine." Rory thought of the situation that her mother was going through with Luke and April, she was sad that Anna didn't accept Lorelei, like Eisley did her.

" Well Liam said that there was going to be a picnic for Noa's school on Wednesday, I was going to go, before I knew you were coming. It's at a nice park, do you want to go to that?" Being in a park with close to thirty little and their parents? Rory wasn't sure. "Eisley said that it's really just a chance for the kids to get to know each other before preschool starts so that the transition from just being with parents to being with a bunch of kids is easier."

" Um … sure. Why not, if I can't stand any of them I can pretend to be enthralled by the flowers, right?" Rory joked slightly.

" Right." Logan turned to leave and was at the door way when he turned and stopped again. "She'll like you, I'm sure of it." Logan tried to reassure Rory that everything was going to b fine with Noa. He wasn't sure if he did a very good job but Rory smiled and he felt that she agreed with him. Logan tried so hard to make her feel comfortable with the situation, but still Rory was uneasy with the whole thing.
