A Life and Death Love

Chapter 39: They are together again!!

7 months later: June 2057:

After Colin passed away Robert, Finn, and Steph moved in with Rory and Logan. It has been seven months since Colin had passed away. Steph had her good days but mostly her bad days. She still cried every day. 

She was barely eating and sleeping. Robert and Finn have both tried to help her through this since they lost their wives they know what she is going through. 

Rory had been with her through it all for the first few weeks. Steph had slept in Logan and Rory's bed with Rory in the middle. Just because Steph wasn't able to sleep. Her doctor had prescribed her some medicine to help her sleep. 

Steph was really struggling mentally and emotionally. She now knew what Robert and Finn had gone through. Her health started fading rapidly. She had been hospitalized twice. The doctor said she was suffering from a broken heart. 

Logan woke up and looked at his wife. He was so thankful he still had his Ace. He didn't want to think about a life without her in it. He knew he would die if he ever found Rory dead beside him it would kill him instantly. 

Rory slowly stirred in his arms. She looked up at him with her beautiful blue eyes. Her hair had gotten a little greyer since Colin passed away. She was a little wrinkled but still looked good for seventy-two. 

She smiled at her husband who was staring at her admiring how beautiful she was. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No, I am just admiring your beauty. I am thankful that we still have each other. I love you so much, Rory."  

"I love you too, Logan. I am thankful every morning when I wake up and feel your body heat. I don't know what I would do if that were to happen to you. I don't think I would be able to survive it."

"I feel the exact same way. Are you ready to start our day? I know someone is up because I can smell the coffee brewing."

"I guess we should get up and join them downstairs. I need some of that coffee."

"Yes, I know your body doesn't start until you get at least two cups of your elixir." He started laughing as he hugged her. 

They got up and made their way downstairs. 

When they walked into the kitchen Finn and Robert were sitting at the bar drinking coffee. 

"Morning, Rory and Logan," Robert said. 

"Good morning boys. Did you sleep well?"

"We did." Both said in unison. 

"How did you two lovebirds sleep?" Finn asked. 

Logan smiled a huge grin, "we slept great as usual. I love nothing more than waking up with my gorgeous wife on my chest." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and laid his chin on her shoulder. 

"Has anyone checked on Steph?" Rory asked. 

"No, not this morning. I will go check on her." Finn replied as he headed upstairs. 

Finn knocked on her door and there was no response. He slowly opened her door and saw she was still in bed. He walked over and touched her arm. It was ice cold and he walked to the door. 

"Logan, Robert can you two come here please?"

They both walked upstairs and to her room. They walked into her room.

"Steph's gone mates she is ice cold. How are we going to tell Rory? Oh my gosh, we have to call Grady and tell him his mother is gone just a few months after his dad." Finn said as he was sobbing.
