Chapter 9
Rory POV
A few weeks later, I had my big doctor's appointment. I had decided not to remind Logan about the appointment because, I guess part of me wanted to see if he would remember. So here I was sitting in the doctor's office waiting to be called backjust hoping that Logan was going to show up. And that's when it happenedLogan walked through the door. He walked over at sat next to me. "Sorry, I'm late." He said, kissing my cheek.
"I didn't think that you were coming." I said.
"Did you really think that I would forget that we were finding out the sex of the baby today?" Logan asked.
I nod. "Yeah, I did. You've been traveling so much lately, I really thought that you forgot."
"Look I know that I've been busy and working a lot but I promise youI didn't forget." Logan said.
The only thing that I could do was nod.
Logan POV
Walking in and seeing the surprise on Rory's face was an instant punch to the gut. I know all these hours working and traveling back and forth hasn't been good for us at all. I knew that I'd work, but this was way more than I expected. Sitting here in silence with Rory next to me is just making the silence so loud. I know she must be upset by my absence, but she knows the business and all it entails. However, knowing and doing are two different things and neither can fix my what my absence is doing or not doing as it were.
Rory, Im sorry about me not being here when you need me I tried before getting cut off.
Logan, I understand. Rory nodded as she patted my knee.
I had to look at Rory with Im sure absolute shock written all over my face. It has never occurred to me that this would be my life, I would become that guy. My dad. The only difference is that Im not out with my secretaries on these work trips. I am never home like I should be, maybe I should delegate more. We definitely need to talk about this and her response, that cannot be how she truly feels.
Ror I started.
Gilmore... Said a smiling, familiar looking nurse.
Rory POV
After leaving the Doctor's office that afternoon, Logan headed back to work and told me that he'd see me at home. I headed over to a local Deli that I liked to go to when I was on this side of town. A few things went through my head. The first was that I felt like Logan was hiding something from me. No matter how much time passed, when Logan was distant like he had been latelythis was always the first thing that popped into my head. The second thing that I thought about was my babyif it ever came down to it, could I do it on my own? And the answer was yes. I thought back to my bookI thought back to my childhood and how Mom always seemed to manage.
A lot was about to changeand some wouldn't be good.
