Her Savior

Chapter 5

Rory was sitting at the table, she caught sight of today's date on the calendar and gasped, Logan saw the color drain from her face, and she began to shake and whimper.

"Honey. What's wrong?" He asked her as he moved his chair closer to her.

Rory did not answer him, she just continued to stare off at the calendar Logan's gaze followed her line of sight, and then he saw what she was looking at, but he was puzzled as of why she was acting this way. Then she began to speak in the smallest voice he had ever heard her use.

"Its..." she stuttered

"Rory, please talk to me"

She just got up and went to garb her date book hoping she was wrong.

He watched her as she rapidly went through the book.

He tried once again to get her to talk to him.

"Rory what's wrong?"

"It just can't be February 19th it just can't be"

"Rory please tell me what's going on?"

"I'm late"

"wh...What?" He asked her stumbling over the world.

"I'm two weeks late with my period"

Then she turns and grabbed Logan and sobbed into his shirt.

"Shhh…. It will be all right I promise"

He was stunned. He did not know what to do. Except be there for her.

"Logan what if I'm pregnant with his baby?"

"Then we'll deal with it together, but let not worry until we know for sure"

She continued to cry. "You know Logan you really have made this whole thing..." she trailed off...

"Rory listen to me, I wouldn't be anywhere else"

"Logan you're the only reason this whole situation is anyway near bearable for me to deal with" "Hey we'll get through this, I promise you I'll go to the store and get a pregnancy test, so we can know what our future holds."

"Thank you, Logan"

"I'll be back in twenty minutes okay try and relax to okay please"

"I'll try"

He walks out of the kitchen and then out of the door…

Rory stared down at the test Logan returned from the store with a few minutes ago. She had a blank expression on her beautiful pale face. Tears started to well in eyes as she exited from the bathroom with the test in her hand. Logan stood there wait for her to speak but just by the expression on her face he knew the answer. He embraced her as she began to sob.

She could not believe that this was happening. She was… she was pregnant…Could there be an error with the test? Pregnancy tests could be wrong, right.

"Ace I'm here I'm not going anywhere I promise."

"Logan I want to have a child some day, but, I just can't fathom having this child at this moment in time"

"What are you saying, Rory?"

"I'm going to have an abortion. I just want this nightmare to be over; I want no ties to him"

"Honey, I know you scared as well as upset but, please stop and think about what you just said. If you still feel like this is the right decision I'll go with you but, please think about it before you do anything rash."

"Logan, I have had time to think about this. You were gone for some time. I thought about this. Moreover, I have made my decision..."

"You know I'll be here for whatever you need"

"Thank you"

He grabs her into his embrace and holds her tight. They stand there for what seems like forever neither wanting to leave their safe haven. Rory finally pulled away from the embrace and looked into Logan's eyes and all she saw was love and the want to protect her. She kissed him.

At first, Logan was taken by surprise by this turn of event but after a moment, he responded with just as much love.
