"Are you sure you are going to be okay?" Logan asked, a line of worry plainly evident on his face as he sat on the edge of their bed at home. Rory had been home for almost two days, and on strict orders from her doctor at the hospital and Paris she was to stay in bed, or at home and keep her physically straining activity to a mininum. Logan had stayed with her for as long as he could, but unfortunately with his dad dying and the future of the company hanging in limbo still he had to get back to the office and take care of things.
Rory sat up, her hand going to her stomach as it did most of the time that she moved around and looked at Logan. "I'll be fine, I promise." She offered up a reassuring smile before continuing. "Plus Lane is coming over and bringing lunch. So I won't be alone all day."
Logan bit his lip as he thought about it. He hated that he had to leave, but slowly he pushed himself off the bed. He leaned down and kissed Rory softly before pulling back. "I'll have my phone, call if you need anything."
Rory nodded, giving him another smile before watching him exit the bedroom they shared. She heard him pick up his stuff from the couch and then leave the house a few short moments later. She waited for a few seconds, and then pulled her phone off of the bedside table. After clicking the tv and flipping through the channels until she landed on some morning talk show, she returned her attention to her cell phone and scrolled through her contacts until she landed on her mother's number. Hitting the new message button she quickly typed out. "Hey mom. Logan went back to work this morning. If you want to come hang out sometime this week, I will let you paint my toenails and sing silly songs to my belly." After sending the message she tossed her phone onto the bed beside her and tried to focus on the group of middle aged women surronding a table arguing about who wore a dress best.
After several minutes she gave up on trying to pretend like she cared what they were talking about she sighed heavily and sat up in bed. Bed rest meant she had to take it easy, it didn't mean that she had to do absoloutely nothing. She would go crazy, if that were the case. Pushing herself out of bed, she slipped on a pair of slippers, slipped her phone into her hoodie pocket and with one hand on her belly she padded into the living room. It was weird to be home alone with Logan, it was even weirder to be calling it her house. To think that just a few days ago she was getting ready to face single parenthood, not sure if she would ever see Logan again, let alone be back with him, and now here she was calling his apartment home.
A wide smile spread across the brunettes face as she slowly made her way into the kitchen. She leaned against the counter for a few seconds, before deciding that she should probably eat. She opened the fridge and stared blankly into the cold interior. Lane wouln't be there for a couple more hours and she hadn't eaten since the night before, even though she wasn't exactly what would be considered hungry, she knew she needed to eat to keep her strength as well as the baby's up. Grabbing a container of strawberry jelly and one of cottage cheese she set them both on the counter. She opened both and took a scoop out of each, slopping them into a bowl that looked like it costway more than all the clothes Rory had on at the current time. Knowing Logan it probably did, that and it was probably something he didn't pick out. She stirred her creation together, stuck the containers back in the fridge and made her way to the dining room table to eat her breakfast. As soon as she was seated her phone beeped alerting her to text message.
Opening it, she saw that it was from her mother.
"Loinfruit. I would love to come see you tomorrow. Luke has someone working at the diner, and I don't have any meetings. Can we come take you to lunch?"
A warm feeling spread through the young womans body as a smile spread across her face as she responded back to the woman who had given her life. "Sounds good. Call when you are on the way."
Feeling a little bit better about this whole bed rest thing, Rory finished her food and texted Lane to make sure she was still coming before she put her dishes in the sink, started the dishwasher even though it was only half full. She wandered back to the bedroom and prepared to find an outfit for the day.
