Rory-Logan

What?-Rory

I feel like there's more to the story then this. Are you going to tell me what happened?-Logan

Logan, you had just gone through a surgery of your own, I didn't feel like it was really a good time to bring it up.-Rory

You didn't think it was a good time to tell your boyfriend of five years what's going on with you? What the hell kind of excuse is that, Rory?- Logan

(says in a rather sarcastic tone) Because you were so easy to talk to during that time, Logan. I mean it was hard to talk to you about basic things in our lives let alone having to go through the conversation of me having cancer.- Rory

(she looks away because that wasn't how she wanted to tell him, and with that the tears that she had been trying to hold back all evening finally came falling down her cheeks. When Logan saw this he wrapped her up in his arms and they went to their bedroom to finish the discussion. They had changed in their favorite comfy clothes and were now sitting on the bed. After a few moments Rory finally broke the silence that had settled between them)

Logan, I'm sorry for so many things right now. For not telling you sooner about the situation and telling you in such a sarcastic way. It was rather insensitive of me to do to you.- Rory

No, Rory, I'm sorry for not being there for you when I should have. I know you were worried about the ultrasounds and something on your face that day gave it away that the results weren't as good as you were making them out to be but at the time I just didn't think of ask more intently what was wrong. However, may I ask you one thing?- Logan

Of course you can, baby.- Rory

Who went with you to chemo then, because I know that you wouldn't have wanted to go by yourself.- Logan

Mitchum went me for the first nine days, then your mom went with me for the final six days. Mitchum stayed for the main surgery as well. Shira would have joined him but Emily decided that getting a DAR event ready was far more important than her grand daughter having cancerous cells removed.- Rory

(they hear the door from downstairs being closed, which is the signal that everyone had finally come back from dinner) Do you think we should join them?-Rory

Not just yet, Ace. I never really asked how you managed to handle it all between my surgery, finding out about your cancer, my mouth being wired shut, school, your job, my job. It's a lot for one person to handle.- Logan

Your mother and I talked a lot during that time and we got pretty close, although it wasn't the same as having you to confide in. And amazingly enough your father and I have become rather close because of his stay in the hospital with me. It's been nice, but I much rather enjoy having you as a confidant then them. Also school was a pretty good distraction from being frustrated with the situation. So it was a lot easier to handle things. I think I finally broke down after my third day of chemo, I was just so frustrated with you not being to be there with me, us not being able to truly talk like we used to, not having our daily banter about basic things, it was rough. But thank the lord there was a box of tissue and another human being to talk to or I would have gone crazy!- Rory

Honey, I'm-Logan

(he had started to apologize again but Rory put her hand up to stop him) Logan, you couldn't have known. I kept it from you for a reason there is no need to feel sorry for it.-Rory

I know that, but at the same time I still feel like I should do something in order to make it up to you the proper way.- Logan

How about we worry about that later and join the rest of the family now which is what we really need. Then after your parents go to bed, Hermione and Snape leave we can truly enjoy each other and unwind. How does that sound?-Rory

(giving her his classic smirk) Sounds like a rather good plan baby. Let's go- Logan

(they head back downstairs hand in hand which makes everyone else around them let out a sigh of relief)

So, I see that you two have worked passed your differences. Am I correct in this assumption?- Snape

Of course you are, Servous. Whenever are you wrong?- Rory

(everyone let's out a roar of laughter) Fair enough point.- Hermione

I was thinking that the pair of us should be going since Logan you and I have some things to take care of tomorrow if all goes according to plan.-Snape

It should all go according to plan I promise you that. So, I will see you tomorrow around noon.- Logan

Sounds good.- Snape

(Hermione and Snape bid their good-byes for the evening, as do Shira and Mitchum, so Logan and Rory retreat to their room once more and truly enjoy one another's company for some much need time alone together)

AN: What could Servous and Logan possibly be plotting? Will Shira, Mitchum and Logan be okay after he discovered that they did not tell him of his girlfriend's illness? When will Logan finally propose to his Ace? Stay tuned for all of these questions and more shall be answered in the upcoming chapters!
