A few more months have transpired, and everyone has fallen into the routine of having Logan and Hermione back. At the moment Logan is having a conversation with Lorelai about the wedding while Rory was having a discussion with Mitchum about work, and other life matters.
(Logan and Lorelai are dressed in semi dressy clothes since the four of them are going out to dinner in a few hours. Rory is dressed in a black and gray knee length form fitting dress with a red form fitting shirt underneath it. Mitchum is dressed in black dressy pants with a plaid red and gray dressy shirt as well)
So, how is work at Hogwarts going? Are you still teaching potions? Or are you and Logan going to switch back over to making plans and running the Sytherin house? -Mitchum
Honestly, Mitchum I do wish to come back to the states, and do something a little bit more solid. I mean I just don't want our children to be raised in the wizarding world at this moment. Everyone is still trying to calm down after the final battle. I think in about a month when all of the paper work is signed Logan and I are going to come back here, hopefully he can get a job at your company or open up his own and I'm going to work on writing once again.-Rory
(she had started to walk towards the kitchen to grab something to drink but had slipped a little bit due to her high heels, Mitchum had gently caught her by her waist, however he had kept his hand there for a few extra minutes as he was in a slight state of shock)
(looks at her in slight confusion)
(she gently puts her hand on his arm) Mitchum, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?-Rory
Are you and Logan expecting? I mean you two aren't even married yet, you're the planner in this relationship Rory. How could you have let this happen? What went wrong here?-Mitchum
(she laughs a little bit at his outbursts. At times she forgets how much he does care about Logan and her being together and making sure it lasts. After she stops laughing, Rory gives him a warm caring look)
You have nothing to worry about, trust me. Logan and I are not expecting and if we were we would be getting married as soon as possible for it wouldn't just be bad press in the muggle world but at Hogwarts as well.-Rory
(breaths a sigh of relief) Thank the lord. And I wouldn't be worried about the bad press I would be more worried about you and Logan being able to handle that kind of stress.-Mitchum
We've handled stressful situations before, Mitchum. Don't you recall the time he was in surgery a few years ago?-Rory
Of course I do.-Mitchum
~Flashback~
Logan was twenty years old. It was the day that he had to get his jaw surgically broken rather early in the morning and Rory was of course a nervous wreck. He had told her that everything was going to be alright and that she had nothing to worry about, but she wasn't that easy to calm down when it came to him and scary situations. It was just in her nature to worry. Even though he had asked her to stay in the waiting room during the surgery, she was still going through muggle school she sadly could not be with him. However, Shira had finally texted her after he got out of surgery saying that he gotten through it okay so she felt much better. Rory decided to leave school early so she could see him before she had to go to work that night. She was pretty nervous when she first saw him, but after a while she got used to him being in a hospital bed, and they exchanged a few words. It was a very tiring, and frustrating time for the young couple with his mouth being wired shut for roughly a month and a half, while still balancing school, jobs, and trying to find time to relax with one another. They made it through alright but both sets of parents, still can't forget how much strain it put on the couple. Of course Rory was understanding of the situation, and Logan loved the fact that she wanted to take care of him so much, and was so willing to be there whenever he needed her, but at the same time they didn't nor could they really share things with each other like they could before the surgery. Shira tried to be there for Rory, however she knew that it wasn't quite the same as having Logan to confide in. Mitchum also tried to be there but he had work a lot more than he used to due to opening another newspaper. To this day the parents still worry if Rory and Logan ever truly recovered from the situation.
~End of flashback~
I just don't want you two to go through that kind of pain nor stress again.- Mitchum
I more than understand that, I really do.-Rory
Hey, if you don't mind me asking. Did you ever tell him how frustrated you really were, and what happened with your health during that time?-Mitchum
(Logan had walked up to his girlfriend- soon to be fiancé- and had heard what his father had just asked her)
Honey, what is he talking about? What went on with your health that you didn't tell me? When was this exactly?-Logan
(the pair jumped when they heard Logan's voice for they had not heard him walk up) I'll let you explain that to him it's not my place to. I'll talk to you two in a few hours at the restaurant-Mitchum
Rory, what have you been keeping from me after all this time?-Logan
(he didn't sound mad at her, just genuinely interested in what she had to explain)
It was nothing major, Logan let's not discuss it right now, your parents as well as mine are expecting us in a few hours. Not to mention Snape and Hermione are joining us later on when we come back to the house for after dinner drinks. Can we please talk about this at a later time?-Rory
(with a slight edge to his voice) Rory, just tell me. You don't have to go into major detail just a topic starter.
(turns to walk away to join Shira and Mitchum in the limo) Remember when I had to have surgery about a month after your's?- Rory
Of course I do. What about it though? You told me that the doctor said the results were fine. Rory, everything was okay right?- Logan
Logan, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer.- Rory
(Logan just looks at her in shock, while she walks away trying to keep the tears back)
