"I'll have a large french roast, and whatever the lady wants." Logan said to the uninterested looking barista in the hospitals only open cafe before stepping aside to let Rory order.

"Medium decaf with half and half." she said before turning to Logan. "You know I can pay for mine."

"You know I never let you pay for coffee, unless you were the one bringing it to me." He said as he pulled out a darkly colored debit card from his wallet and inserted it in the cheap reader. "Also since when decaf?"

Rory had hoped that Logan wouldn't notice the fact that she had ordered thh less caffienated and far less tasty version of her favorite hot beverage. "Since a few motnhs ago." She responded quickly hoping it was a vague enough answer that they wouldn't have to get into a discussion behind her reasons just yet. She had always known she would tell Logan, she just hadn't epxected to see him this soon, and especially under these circumstances.

"Here Ace." Logan said a few moments later handing a steaming paper cup to the brunette. "Do you wanna hang out down here or head back up?"

Rory shrugged. "Up to you. I'm just here to boost morale."

"Well then let's enjoy being as far away from Mitchum as possible, and hang out here." Logan said with a small chuckle as she led Rory over to a black pleather couch positioned against the wall. After he and Rory got comfortable, facing each other on opposite ends of the couch. "So, what have you been up to lately Ace?"

Rory sipped at her coffee, and sputttered when it was too hot after she recovered and Logan had a laugh at her expense she ran her hand though her hair before answering Logan's question. "Still running the paper in Stars Hollow. Nothing else exciting except for Kirk and Lulu seem to be inching their way closer to getting married. Luke and my mom got married a few months ago."

Logan smiled. "I knew they would eventually. Luke and your mom I mean. The fact that Kirk is getting married is a mere miracle."

Rory smiled as she relaxed into being around Logan and the conversation. The nagging feeling of what she needed to tell him was still hovering above her like rain cloud above Winnie the Pooh,but she wasn't nearly as anxious about being around Logan as she had been earlier.

Logan watched Rory's movements, he could tell something was off. He couldn't tell if it was good or bad, but there was for sure something amiss about the brunette bombshell sitting just a matter of inches away from him. He knew better than to press her for it right now. The chances of her spilling the beans, whatever they were at that moment were slim to none. Rory who had caught Logan looking at her smiled and tilted her head. "Whatcha looking at Huntzburger?" She asked, a faint hint of the smirk he had grown to love over the years turning up the sides of her mouth.

"The one and only Rory Gilmore." He said as he grinned. After a few more seconds, he finished off his coffee tossed the empty cup into the trash can and stoop up. With a smile on his face, he held out his hand to help Rory to his feet, taking her empty cup from her to toss and then turned his attention back to her. "Well, I suppose we should go back up. Unless you have somewhere better to be."

"I'm all..." Rory started before blushing, glad she had caught herself before she added the word 'yours' to the sentence she had just started. Shaking her head she looked at him and reworded her statement. "I'm here for as long as you need me."

Logan nodded, and smiled. Sure there was something different about Rory, but inside she was still the same fiercely sweet girl that he had met at Yale many years ago. With Logan leading, the pair circled back around to the elevators, and rode them up to the floor that Micthum's room was supposed to be on, whenever they finished up with his tests. After stepping off the elevator Logan looked at Rory and nodded towards the nurses station. "I'm going to go see if anything has changed, if you want to go sit down or find a severly outdated magazine to entertain yourself until I'm done." Pausing only slightly before adding, " I won't be too long, I promise."

"Take your time, I'll go back to the room." She answered nodding towards the comfort room they had been in prior to their impromptu coffee adventure. With one last look at Logan she headed towards the room. Once inside she made her way to a chair on the otherside of the room and sat down. Pulling her phone out of her purse she quickly scrolled through her contacts until she landed on her mom's name and number. She opened a new text message and furiously typed out a message to her.

"At Hospital with Logan. Mitchum sick. Don't know how bad. Should I tell him now or wait?" She knew Lorelai would want more details, but since she didn't know how long she had until Logan would be back, she didn't want to go into said details right now. She hit the send button, and not even a minute later her phone dinged back with the response. "Tell him babe. He deserves to know."

Rory was slightly surprised at her mother's response. When she had first told the elder Gilmore girl that she was expecting a baby, and that it was indeed Logan's Lorelai had not been exactly happy. After a few days of giving her space, and Rory talking to Luke about why it had been such a big deal, she had forced her mom to have a heart to heart. Lorelai had been wanting another baby and in some way was hurt by the fact that she would be a grandma before she had another baby. It had taken Lorelai a few days to come completely around to the idea of her only child having a baby of her own, but she had eventually done so, and ever since she had been pushing Rory to tell Logan. Knowing from expereince it would only get harder the longer she waited.

Rory of course knew that her mom was right, and as much as she hated telling Logan while his dad was in the hospital and they were in the situation that they were currently in, she knew that she needed to tell him as soon as possible. She sent a response back to her mom telling Lorelai that she would call her the next day and let her know how it went and just as she was putting her phone back into her purse Logan walked into the room.

"Well?" she asked watching Logan as he crossed accross the room and took a seat near her, leaving a chair between them.

"It was actually two heart attacks. He suffered one while he was still at the office. The one that initially caused the ambulance to be called. Then he suffered another one. A smaller one once they got him here." he sighed heavily, leaning forwards and resting his elbows on his legs, his head in his hands. "They are still running tests to see how bad the damage is. He's not awake. They are going to move him up here once he's stablized and they are done with the tests. But it's still kind of touch and go." The second part of the explanation coming out a little muffled, since Logan was currently staring at the floor, trying to process his emotions the best he could.

Rory without even thinking moved to the chair that previouosly had been between them, and placed her hand on his back, rubbing small circles between his shoulders like she had done so many times in the past she sighed softly. "I don't know what to say Log. I know you two don't get along, but that's still your dad in there. And I know that even if he's not anyone's favorite person in the world, he's still your dad..." She rambled on for a minute before getting quiet.

Logan took a deep breath and raised his head looking over at Rory. "Thank you for coming. Thank you for understanding that I don't know how I feel." He sighed softly. "I've wished for so long that he would die, or that he wasn't my father that now I just don't know what I'm supposed to feel."

Rory nodded. "It's okay Logan, just talk. Or don't talk." She smiled softly. "If you need me to do something I will. Just tell me what you need me to do. I can get a hotel for the night, and stay close. There's not anything in Stars Hollow that's going to happen that needs to be in the paper in the morning. That's why we have Miss Patty." she joked, hoping to lighten the mood, even if just a little bit.

Logan shook his head, causing his usually neater blonde hair to shake just a little bit. "I'll rent a suite at the hotel on the next block. You can have the room, I'll take the couch. The nurse has my cell phone number, but she said there probably wasn't any reason for me to hang around tonight. If you're okay with hanging out with me, I'll go tell the nurses we are leaving, and book the room. Then we can head over."

Rory thought for a minute, she never really thought she would be sharing a hotel room with Logan again. But maybe it would give her the perfect opportunity to tell him about their child. She smiled over at him and nodded. "We will have to get food at some point as well." She teased.

"I take that as a yes." Logan stood, "I'll be right back. And since you came all this way just to be here for me. I'll make sure room service is still available. And we can do movies and food, the Gilmore way." he offered a small smile before making his way back to the nurses station.

While Rory sat and waited, she tried to go over how she would tell him and what exactly she would say. She had gone over the conversation a million times in her head, but she had never thought the circumstances surronding her telling Logan about their baby would be quite like the ones they currently found themselves in. Shaking her head, she took a deep breath. She didn't know exactly how he would take it, but she just hoped he wasn't mad because she had waited so long to tell him. The last thing she wanted to do was make things worse between them, or for him. Dealing with the unpredictibility of his fathers condiition was more than enough for Logan to deal with, but she knew there wasn't a perfect time to tell him what she had to tell him.

Logan appeared in the door way after a few minutes and smiled. "C'mon Ace. The hotel is all set up, we just need to stop and pick up the keys and then we can be in a room that doesn't smell faintly of bleach and jello."
