When You Need Me I Will Be There
Chapter 20
Lucas turned to Emily and Richard with an angry look on his face.
"You can leave now you have done enough damage"
"She's our granddaughter we have every right to be here" Richard responded
"Your argument nearly caused Rory to lose her children and I think she made it perfectly clear that she does not want to speak with you"
Both Gilmore's were angry that they were being dismissed by in their eyes someone in a lower class but they knew it was pointless to argue. Therefore, they gathered there are things and left without another word spoken.
Dr. Peterson and Lucas watch them go then Lucas turned to her.
"Sorry about that as you gather those are her grandparents and they showed up at her father's funeral yesterday and then confronted her today while we were at my mother's Café which the argument they had caused Rory to be here"
"I see well luckily nothing went wrong" Dr. Peterson replied
"I thank God for that"
"Right now Rory is resting but she did ask for you so you can see her. She's in room 447."
"Thanks does she know yet about the babies?" Her
"Not yet we sedated her to help her get some rest. You can be the one to tell her if you like"
"I think that's the best plan of action because of the circumstances."
"Okay well I have other patients to check on tell Rory I will check in later"
"I will"
Then they parted ways and Lucas headed to find Rory's room. He found it quickly and entered and what he saw made his heart melt. Roy was sleeping soundly with her hand placed protectively on her abdomen. Once again, he was thankful that the babies were all right. He went up to her bed and pulled a chair up he stroked her cheek until she began to wake.
"Lucas?" Roy wondered with sleep still evident in her voice.
"Yeah sweetheart I'm right here"
"Where am I what happened?"
"Babe you're at the hospital but you're fine and so are the babies but you gave us quite a scare"
"Are my grandparents still here?"
"No I sent them away there the reason your land here in the first place"
Then it hit Rory what Lucas had about the baby when he referred to it he said babies she turned to Lucas to overwhelmed by the thought of raising two children got just one on her own.
"Lucas did you see babies or baby I just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly?"
"Rory while Dr. Peterson was examining you she did a ultra sound and found twins"
Rory just looked at him blankly for a moment then burst into tears Lucas gathered her in his arms and let her cry for a moment.
"Rory I promise you everything will be all right"
Her sobs turned to whimpers and she lifted her head to meet his gaze.
"Lucas I can't handle two children on my own without a father"
Rory's statement for Lucas was like a punch in the gut he thought she understood that he was willing to take on the role of father to these babies. He could not get the words out to respond to her so instead he replied
"I'm going to find Dr. Peterson so that we can take you home"
"Okay"
With that, Lucas turned and left the room without another word leaving Rory extremely confused and hurt.
