Chapter 6 A Lost Memory
Not wanting to be disturbed, Logan closed the door behind him. He walked over to the side of Rory's bed and sat down on the chair. He watched the helpless Rory with tears streaming down his cheek. Logan wiped away his tears.
"Rory…I am so sorry. She was just there…and I just--I was angry and lonely and sad…you have to understand. Rory please, wake up." Logan cried.
Logan sat there, watching Rory. Not taking his eyes off Rory, he just sat there, silently, as if he's waiting for a miracle to happen. Then, there was a knock at the door and soon enough, it was opened.
"Good afternoon." said the man who opened the door.
"Hi. You must be Rory's doctor. I'm Logan Huntzberger." Logan said as he extended his hand.
"Ah, Mr. Huntzberger. It's nice to meet you. My name is Dr. Watkins."
"So, how is she doing?"
"She's doing okay. Dr. Montgomery will be here shortly to check on the baby. But, other than that, she's doing fine. All she needs to do is to wake up from her coma."
"Baby?"
'Oh, I'm sorry. I thought Ms. Gilmore already told you. She said she was going to tell the father of the baby about Rory and her baby together at the same time."
"No…she didn't…"
"Well, anyways, I just wanted to check her vitals and blood pressure. Excuse me." Dr. Watkins made his way to check Rory, as Logan stood there, amazed and surprise. Wondering if the baby Rory's carrying could be his.
As soon as the doctor left, Lorelai came into the room with none other than Jess, who was surprised to see Logan there.
"What the hell are you doing here, you bastard!" retorted Jess.
"Get the hell out, Logan. This is a hospital. There are securities and I can make them kick your sorry ass outta here."
"Look, I'm just here to see Rory and my child."
"What the hell are you talking about? Rory wasn't pregnant when she was with you. It's my child she's carrying."
"Logan, please get the hell out." requested Lorelai.
"Mom?" a weak voice called from the bed.
"Rory?" Lorelai asked as she walked herself to Rory.
"What happened? Where am I?"
"Oh, honey…You were in an accident. You're in the hospital now." By this time, both Logan and Jess already made their way besides Rory too.
"Who are they?"
"Honey…don't you recognize Logan and Jess?"
"Uh-uh…oh my gosh! I have a French test today! Headmaster Charleston is gonna kill me if I'm late…" Rory said as she tried to get up from the bed.
Lorelai calmed her down and told her that she should rest and shouldn't worry about the test at the moment. Then, she sent Logan to get the doctor. Moments later, Dr. Watkins, Dr. Rendon and Dr. Akimoto all came in, followed by Nurse Teruya, Nurse Stevens, Nurse Yang, and the rest of the "medical team" handling Rory's case.
After examining Rory, Dr. Watkins gestured Lorelai to talk outside.
"Ms. Gilmore. I think that Rory has a short-term memory lost. I'm not an expert on the condition. But I think she believes that she's in High School. And I also believes she's now unconsciously choosing what she wants to remember."
"But how can that possibly be?"
"I'm not so sure. Like I said, I'm not the expert. But my believe is that there's some painful memories that she just wants to forget but couldn't when she was conscious."
"Well, is she gonna get better?"
"I will page Dr. David. She's the psychologist and her assistant Dr. Masterson, who also happens to hold a degree in psychiatrist. Maybe we can figure something out after we all examine her."
"Thank you, doctor."
