The Only Exception

Powerless

Author Note: Okay, so this part is short but necessary to cover before we can finally get into the story being more about Finn and Rory. And let's not forget we have Odette and Shira about to stir the pot soon with their meddling ways. I am not entirely happy with this chapter but I did what I feel I would probably have done in this situation. If you think it needs a re-write please private message me because honestly my brain is kinda frozen direction wise atm but I want to complete this story for those of you that have been so patient with me- J x

**********

Rory POV

With a sigh, I pick up the cell and my finger hovers over the call button. I don't want to do this whatsoever and my resistance is visually obvious to Finn who is sitting beside me. Reassuringly, gently rubbing soothing circles into my back. He encouragingly meets my eyes and I take a sharp breath in and hold it before slowly exhaling.

I try to push my anxieties aside, knowing this would be a call like no other. Honestly, I should have told him by now but I have still been processing myself. I hit the button and quickly put the phone on speaker and place it on my lap and stare down as the call rings to the point I consider it will ring out and I'll get the answerphone. Maybe it would be easier that way any.

Then the ringing stops and there is a pause before I hear a voice I could happily not hear again. Bizarre as it sounds all the good memories have been tainted with this entire experience.

"Rory, why are you calling we have nothing more to say to each other!" his words echo sternly around the room.

As I shift my body slightly, I could see Finn's demeanor instantly stiffen as the hand he isn't using to comfort me, balls up. I shake my head to Finn. Letting him know I have got this, this attitude is not deserving no matter where Logan stands nowadays with me. As far as he is concerned I am carrying his child. Surely, neither of us is innocent in this and just a small level of respect for what we had over the years was not unreasonable to expect in some minute form? Obviously, I have been mistaken.

"Logan." I state firmly, "I thought I would call to let you know that I lost the baby, I'm done with this conversation, enjoy your life," I say firmly, as blunt as I possibly can, as my anger makes me tremble. Maybe I should have waited for a response, maybe I could have been better in my delivery, but right now, I sincerely do not think he deserves one.

Logan POV

To be honest, at first, I was stunned, my mouth opened and no words came out to reply. I had a sense of numbness encompass me and I could not articulate my thoughts within my head, let alone aloud. I don't know how to feel, her tone it stung, but I know I deserve it. 

Her words did not seem real, my common sense and situation told me I should feel relief but I could not comprehend any emotion at all right now so I sat there as I hear the call disconnect abruptly and stare into space. Trying to put my thoughts into some kind of logical order. After a minute or so the words process and reality hit me and, wow that's it she has lost the baby. Our baby, and honestly I feel an overwhelming sadness encompass me surrounding me in emptiness, as I near the cupboard behind me and open it withdrawing my favorite scotch I don't even pour it into a glass. I self medicate and knock back a cold hard swig of the nectar to soothe myself. Before realizing I can't just drink this away, this was a permanent thing that could never be fixed and I have so many questions that would be unanswered. So I pick the phone up to call back... im blocked, she fucking blocked me. Surely my next move would be Finn, but right now I knew I didn't want to hear anything he would have to say...

Finn POV

As soon as Rory hung up she got up and walked into the bathroom and I could see how frustrated she was. As she ran the water and patted some onto her face then made an audible sigh.

"Love..." I began

She turned and I could see her tears coming down, I walked towards her taking her into my embrace stroking her hair before looking down and meeting her eyes.

"Why don't we try and get massages today and spend the day chilling out. That took a lot of your energy babe but it's done now" I offered.

I watched as she gave a small smile and nodded at my suggestion.

"Okay love have a shower and I will organize breakfast and the spa"

As I turn to walkout

"Finn you can join when you are finished organizing if you like?" she blushed and I was taken aback slightly but there was no way in hell I was going to refuse. 

"Okay Rory" I replied. Somehow sounding nervous, Jesus Finn pull yourself together.

I went into the main room order room service and organize the spa date.

Then went back into the bathroom where Rory was and joined her in the shower. Considering the minimal intimacy we have shared, it was crazy how comfortable we both were like this. My thoughts ran wild as she softly began to run the loofah over my back, as I turned to help rinse through her hair. I look into her eyes and softly yet passionately meet her lips. Locked in our own world as I feel my excitement rise, it's crazy but this woman still has me feeling like a sex-crazed teenager. But unlike how I can usually be, I know even though we can be like this we have to take our time. As she rinses off I encourage her to leave, knowing I need to cool the temperature for myself for a while, I see her smirk, such a bloody tease, I think to myself. All I know is when the moment is right she will most definitely be worth the wait. 

Authors Note- something tells me you're not gonna be waiting too long Finny boy! LOL x
