(After making sure that his soon-to-be fiancée was resting peacefully he went to find his parents. He had a feeling that they had not gone to bed like they had planned to. Sure enough he found sitting in the kitchen, with a coffee in each of their hands looking like they were deep in thought. Due to this Logan asked quietly)
"Am I interrupting something?"-Logan
Of course not, come on in. Take a sit.-Mitchum
(he goes and sits down on the opposite side of his parents)
Logan, you look upset about something. Are you and Rory doing alright?-Shira
Yes, she and I are fine. At least we are getting there. However, why didn't either one of you tell me what was going on?-Logan
(Shira senses that she doesn't need to be here for this conversation, so she politely excuses herself and goes to bed)
Logan-Mitchum
"No, dad you don't get to Logan me on this one. My girlfriend finds out she has cancer. Stage 2 cancer at that, and has to go through a month of rather intensive chemo and you didn't feel it necessary to tell me."-Logan
"Please believe me when I say this. I wanted to tell you, there were numerous occasions in which I almost disclosed this information with you. However."-Mitchum
"However what dad?"-Logan
"Rory made me promise, swear on the business to not tell you."-Mitchum
"Why?"-Logan
"She felt that you had enough going with having your mouth wired shut, Bentley being in the hospital, the funeral, as well as cleaning out that house after the funeral. Logan, you have to understand where she was really coming from as well. She was so scared, she had so much to lose if the chemo didn't work for her. Rory wasn't ready to worry you yet."-Mitchum
"I truly do understand where she was coming from. What I don't get is why she didn't go to Hogwarts to get this taken care of. They could have cured her instantly, so she wouldn't have had to go through all of this."-Logan
"That's something that she needs to tell you. It's nothing big it's actually rather good news, but she will tell you that later on this evening so do not fret about it for too long".-Mitchum
"Alright, well it's getting pretty late we should probably head to bed, tomorrow is going to be a rather big day. Well today rather. Thanks for listening though, dad and helping me understand the situation better"-Logan
"Anytime, Logan anytime."-Mitchum
(the father son duo head to bed. A few hours later, Rory slowly wakes up to find roses petals laid out leading from the bed to the bathroom. It brings a gently smile to her face, knowing that Logan was up to something. So she got up and walked quickly to the bathroom eager to see what else he had done while she had been asleep. She opened the door to find a lovely bubble bath waiting for her with her soon-to be-fiancée in the tub as well)
"Honey, what on earth?"- Rory
"Join me Ace, and everything will start making sense again I promise"-Logan
(she quickly got undressed from her tank top and shorts and joined her boyfriend in this rather romantic bath. After she had joined him he gently pulled her into a loving kiss)
"So, what is this all about baby?"-Rory
"It's about putting the past truly behind us. Both of our surgeries, you not telling me about the cancer, my mouth being wired shut. I think it's time that we moved on from that, and start enjoying each other like we used to. I miss the self-confidence you used to have baby doll, helping me grade the essays for potions class, joking around as well as having double dates with Hermione and Servous. Do you feel up to going back to the way things used to be?"- Logan
(shifts uncomfortable for a few minutes then smiles and kisses him passionately) "Sounds like an excellent idea to me."-Rory
"Why did you hesitate though?-Logan
"Can we worry about that later on today, right now I just want to enjoy the feel of you against me, and embrace our love like before."- Rory
"I more than agree with you, because we have a jam packed day ahead of us. So once we are done with this bubble bath we need to get dressed and join my parents downstairs."-Logan
"Do we need to dress up in our high end attire, or go casual?"-Rory
(smiles because he can see her already trying to figure out his plan) "Dress casual for the first part but bring something a bit more fancy to change in to."-Logan
"Do we need our dress robes?"- Rory
No, we do not. We will be staying in the muggle world for the evening. I think it's best, at least for right now.- Logan
(him saying that reminded her that she needed to inform him of her idea of staying in the muggle world for a few years while everything out there got sorted out)
Hey, Logan. How would you feel about staying in the muggle world for a few years?-Rory
(breaths a huge sigh or relief) I've been hoping that you would say that for a few weeks now. I already arranged for us to have a house close by the my parents as well as Snape and Hermione will be coming over here as well. They've sorted out who will be their replacements for potions.-Logan
You really are the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for.-Rory
(with his usual smirk) I know-Logan
(they continue to enjoy their romantic bubble bath, after about an hour and half they finally decide to get out of the tub and get dressed)
Author's Note: The next chapter will deal with the full background story for why Rory didn't disclose the results from the doctor. Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far!
