Flashback:

(The morning of the surgery, Logan had just walked into the room while Rory was getting dressed. She jumps a little bit when he walks in and turns around to finish getting dressed)

(laughs a little bit) "Ace, what are you doing?"-Logan

"Logan, I need to finish getting dressed will you please just stay there while I put the finishing touches on my outfit.?"-Rory

"Why, honey I've seen you naked before why is today suddenly any different?"-Logan

"It just is, please turn around. I promise I will be done in a few minutes."-Rory

"Alright."-Logan

(she finishes getting dressed, and the two of the them gather everything she will need at the hospital and make their way to the car. About a half an hour later they are at the hospital and Logan can see his girlfriend shaking a little bit while they are waiting for the doctor. He tries to take her hand, but she gently pulls away from. However, he tries again, and she leans into him for comfort)

"Tell me what you are thinking, please."-Logan

"I'm scared, baby. I'm really scared I don't want to do this, yet at the same time I know that I have to. It's just when I was younger and had to get this done the doctors made it sound like I had options. And this time around, I just feel like there is no other way out. I hate this, I hate it so much. I have no option, it's not going to get better. Even with this surgery there is no promise that the lumps won't keep coming back. I don't see the point in this I really don't. It's not fair at all, Logan. It's not fair. I just."-Rory

(he takes her hands into his) "Ace, calm down. I understand more than you could possibly know how you are feeling right now. You just need to remember that I am here with you now and I will be here when you wake up. As well as through every step of your recovery"-Logan

"You have no idea how much that means to me to hear you say that."-Rory

(he just smiles at her loving. About five minutes later the nurses come back and get her. A few hours later, Rory has finally woken up from the drugs, and is getting re-dressed with the help of her boyfriend. The doctor comes in to have a chat with the couple)

Now you know that she has restrictions right just for a few days. She can't shower for the next 24 hours to protect the stitches. Try to make sure that she doesn't lift her right arm up too much for the first four or five days we don't want her to strain any of the healing tissues or muscles. The new scar will look bad at first but will slowly begin to heal and get a lot better over the next few months. Are there any other questions?- Dr. Hollabaugh

When will we find out what the cyst was?- Rory

Hopefully by Wednesday we will call you or ask you to come in depending on the results.-Dr. Hollabaugh

Alright, thank you so much for this doctor. And we will talk to you later on. Have a great day.- Logan

(they leave the hospital and Rory goes back to bed feeling rather exhausted and in a quite a bit of pain. It is now Wednesday of the following week. Logan is at the office with Snape going over some plans for the surprise engagement as well as grading the classes essays for Rory since she didn't feel up to doing it yet. Hermione was working on some things with Shira so Rory was at the house by herself.)

"Hello, Dr. How may I help you today?"-Rory

"Would you have time to come into the office in about an hour. We have the results and I feel like this is information that really shouldn't be shared over the phone. Would you mind?"- Dr. Hollabaugh

"Of course not. I should be able to be there in about half an hour. Talk to you soon".- Rory

(she grabs her purse, and about half an hour later she is in the doctor's office and he walks in a few minutes later)

"Good to see you again, Rory, however I wish it were under better circumstances."- Dr. Hollabaugh

(tenses up a little bit) "What are the results?"-Rory

"It's Stage 2 breast cancer, Rory. Now with the removal of the lump that did take out about 85% of the problem. However, I feel that about a month of chemo should take care of any cancerous cells that we didn't get to with the surgery. If not we will do another round, but we will deal with that bridge when we come to."-Dr. Hollabaugh

"I don't know what to say right now. I'm. Wow, that really wasn't what I was expecting to hear today at all."-Rory

"It's a lot for any person to handle, I am aware of that you should go home process this information as much as you can, and on Friday we will talk again to start making appointments for the chemo. How does that sound to you?"-Dr. Hollabaugh

"As good as it can sound I guess. I will talk to you later. Bye"-Rory

(she leaves the doctor's office and drives back home. Mitchum was the first one back home and could tell that something had happened so he grabbed some orange juice for the two of them and joined Rory out on the balcony. He only had to wait a few minutes before Rory finally broke down from everything that she had gone through over the past two months. Mitchum gave her a hug which helped calm her tears a little bit, and she is finally able to explain the news to Mitchum)

"I don't know to tell Logan this, however at some point I promise you I will."-Rory

"Rory, you're rambling, just please tell me what's going on."-Mitchum

"I have cancer, Mitchum."-Rory

(he just looks at her in shock) "What does the doctor want you to do?"-Mitchum

"He wants me to do a month of chemotherapy, and then go from there. It just doesn't seem fair, haven't we been through enough of the past two months? Why not throw another thing into the mix? We can totally handle it right? We've already handled Logan's surgery, as well as Bentley's, another family member passing away, my surgery and now on top of everything else let's just add cancer because we can handle anything that is thrown at us right?"-Rory

(he hugs her once again because at the moment that's all he can think of to do. Logan walks in and instantly starts to worry because he can see his girlfriend's tear stained face. He walks over to her and his father)

"Baby, is everything alright? How did the appointment go?"-Logan

(putting on a fake smile that even Logan could see through) "It was great, the results were fine there was no sign of cancer at all. How great is that?"-Rory

"Well, I'm going to go see how Shira and Hermione are doing on their tasks for the school. I will see you two later on."-Mitchum

(He leaves the two of them on their own so they can discuss the news and go from there.)

*End of Flashback*

Author's Note: Trust me it will get explained why she didn't tell him about the cancer in the next chapter it would have been explained in this one but then this chapter would have been like 4,000 words long and that is far too much detail. It did help one deal with her own frustrations going on. The other chapter will be added tomorrow!
