Logan hurried into the doctor's surgery and straight up to the front desk. Unfortunately, he had been here far too many times to count and knew the layout inside out - not that it was particularly big for a hospital. Quinn had called him in a quiet moment to let him know about Ranger, not feeling that he should travel home on his own. Her worry naturally made Logan worry - his general day to day state - and he'd dropped his work for the day to come and get his boyfriend. He knew Ranger had been unwell, he'd been trying to take care of him as much as he could, though Ranger made it hard sometimes, but he hadn't known how bad it had gotten. Why Ranger didn't think to tell him and had waited until Logan was out for the day to crawl his way in was beyond him.
Given the room number where Ranger was, he picked up his pace, not even needing the directions the nurse started to offer. He was going to kill him for sneaking off like this. Logan had been going to pick a horse up today but luckily, Quinn had called before he'd left, and Lily had put the task onto Leo instead, who had been about to argue but seen the concern on Logan's face and decided against it. Logan had come straight here, still dressed in his scruffy yard clothes and wellie boots. He didn't bother to knock as he found the right room, opening it and rushing through. "Ranger," He greeting, his tone coloured with worry and a hint of frustration. "Why didn't you tell me it had gotten this bad? Are you okay?"
there was something very uncomfortable about hospital beds. he had always wondered why they didn't make them more comfortable. people often had to spend days at a time in them so why should they be hard as rocks? that's what he was thinking as he laid there staring at the ceiling while he waited for drip in his arm to finish so he could get the hell out of this place and back to his own bed, the familiar chaos that was the place he called home and the person he slept next to as often as he could. he wanted to roll onto his side but the tube in his arm kept him laying on his back and he was getting just a little frustrated with it.
he couldn't deny that he felt 100% better now than he did when he'd pretty much crawled into the waiting room that morning. he was still tired as anything and his body ached and he didn't think he could stomach a steak dinner but toast and water were manageable now and that in itself was more than he'd had in the last day or two. he rubbed his fingers into his eyes as he thought about how he was going to get home. his car was outside but he doubted he'd be in a fine enough state to drive it home on his own, considering he didn't really remember the drive in this morning, he didn't think he should risk it again.
it was then he heard the sound of heavy boots on the floor. it couldn't be, could it? he'd told them he didn't want anyone called. that he'd be fine to get himself home somehow, even if he had to call a taxi or take a bus. there would be some way that didn't involve pulling someone from what they were doing, especially when he wasn't really seriously ill, at least not in his mind. he thought about pulling the iv and taking a dive out the window, luckily it was only a one story window, the perks of being in a small hospital. he didn't have time to make the choice though because the door was suddenly pushed open and there was logan, in all his yard gear glory and had ranger been feeling better, he'd have leapt out of bed to pull logan down onto the bed with him.
instead he fixed him with something of what he hopped was an innocent look and he shrugged a little, trying to sit up a little. "because how else would i get to see you bust in here all rugged, handsome and worried looking?" he tried to lighten the mood a little but he knew that it probably wouldn't fly. he knew how logan worried and he just hadn't wanted to worry him, he'd been handling it. "because i was fine." he said as he let his head fall back against the pillow, giving up on trying to sit up and resigning himself to the fact he couldn't talk his way out of this. "i'm fine. i wasn't dying, some fluids and i'm all good now." he said as he raised his hand a little.

He fixed Ranger with a look that was a mixture of concern and frustrated, looking down on his other half who almost seemed to cower a little - a part of Logan thought 'good', that he knew he was wrong to have tried to hide this, but the other half of him felt guilty. This was likely why Ranger hadn't wanted to tell him. But how could he not? He could have driven him in, or come home to look after him, or done something, rather than just be dumbfounded to receive a call that his boyfriend was in hospital on a drip. It had to be bad to have gotten to that point. "because how else would i get to see you bust in here all rugged, handsome and worried looking?" Logan sighed, deflating a little as he rushed to his bedside. "Ranger.." he started, though he didn't exactly do 'angry', it was more frustration or disappointment. "This is not the way to do things." His voice lowering.
"because i was fine." His eyebrows came down over his eyes, brow furrowing slightly. "You call this fine?" He questions, glancing to the hospital set up and the drip he'd been put up on. "i'm fine. i wasn't dying, some fluids and i'm all good now." Logan reached out to take the hand that Ranger raised, threading their fingers together and squeezing gently. "It was bad enough to land you in hospital Ranger, can we please not try to make light of it. If you won't be honest with me, this makes being a couple very difficult." It was that which frustrated him mostly, he didn't like lies or half truths and at what point did it have to get so bad that Ranger would go to hospital before telling his partner he was that unwell?
he knew he'd worried him, he could see it on his face and he hated the fact that he'd put that look on his face. he didn't like worrying him and this had done just that. but it had also been the reason he hadn't wanted to tell him, because there was nothing really to worry about. at least to him. he knew than if the roles were reversed he'd be just as upset at logan but without falling victim to logic, it was different in his mind. "i call this .. better than before?" he offered but he knew he really should just keep his mouth shut. it was usually how he dealt, covering things up with jokes and trying to make light of situations that might not be so great but he could tell logan wasn't having it and he didn't want to push it too far.
he felt logan take his hand and wrapped his fingers around his, holding onto it tightly as he looked up at him. "you know making light of it is what i do best." he said as he squeezed logan's hand softly. he did get where he was coming from, it wasn't very hard to see his point of view when he'd laid it out so clearly for him and he couldn't argue with it. "i'm sorry. i am." he said as he tugged on logan's hand lightly, trying to get him to sit on the edge of the bed. he shifted over a little to make room on the slightly narrow bed but there wasn't really anywhere to go. it was the worst thing about the hospital beds. "i promise, next time i'll let you know sooner and i'll let you be my knight in shining armour, though i really am digging the lumberjack look." he said, being as honest as he could while not able to help himself with trying to make a little light of it. "but on the plus side, once this drips done you'll be able to take me home."

"i call this .. better than before?" Logan let out a heavy sigh, exasperated and a little frustrated, running a hand over his weary face as he felt at least some of the tension release. Well, clearly Ranger was well enough to be talking and back chatting him, so he wasn't on his death bed. But it still wasn't a particularly nice call to receive so out of the blue. "That's not funny," He said, still not quite ready to smile yet. He might not have the quick fire temper his siblings had, but he did get irritated, the same as any person, and his concern and worry ran deep, making it harder to pull him out of his moods than other people.
He gave his hand a squeeze, as if to check that everything really was okay. "you know making light of it is what i do best." He felt the returning squeeze and his expression softened a little. "I know, but you shouldn't. It's very frustrating." In case Ranger couldn't already tell. "i'm sorry. i am." Logan fixed him with a look but he softened just that little bit more, allowing himself to be tugged to the bed he was careful where he sat, mindful of the wires and of taking up too much of the space. He might not be broken but Ranger was sill clearly unwell.
"i promise, next time i'll let you know sooner and i'll let you be my knight in shining armour, though i really am digging the lumberjack look. but on the plus side, once this drips done you'll be able to take me home." Logan rolled his eyes and looked down at himself. "I look like a lumberjack?" He glanced to the drip currently feeding his other half, "What drugs did they give you?" and he was only half joking too. "Did they honestly say you could leave after or are you trying to placate me again?"
ranger smile a little as he took logan's hand and he held onto it a little tighter than he normally would as he watched him sit down on the bed next to him. "if i frustrate you, guess that means i fit in with the family." he really couldn't help himself. "last one, i promise." he said as he shifted a little to make sure there was enough room for logan on the bed next to him. he kept hold of logan's hand as he sat there, his fingers threading through the one person he really needed in the moment. he might have tried to keep it from him to keep him from worrying but he'd felt better the second he'd walked through the door. from the moment he'd met him, he'd wanted logan to be there. there was something about being in his presence that was just calming and gave ranger a sense that everything would be okay.
"oh yeah." ranger said as he finally let go of logan's hand and he raised it to rest his hand against logan's chest. "all you need is an axe slung over your shoulder." he glanced at the drip that still hung from the bed and he shook his head a little. "no drugs, just water." he said with a slight grin. "so if i'm crazy it's all me." he nodded slightly and then he brought his hand up to cross his fingers over his heart lightly. "cross my heart and hope to die." he was momentarily distracted by the sound of a baby crying coming from the hall but he did his best to ignore it, after all it's parents were probably with it and the nurses would almost certainly be fawning over it. "so on a scale of one to leo, how mad was he that he needed to go instead of you?"

"if i frustrate you, guess that means i fit in with the family." He blinked. Well damn, he couldn't really fault that logic - his family frustrated him most days, though some more than others. "You don't need to take from their example, you know." He answered after a moment. "last one, i promise." Logan fixed him with another stern look, though it was all born of a place of worry and he knew Ranger knew that - he just couldn't figure out why Ranger hadn't told him, and he had to admit there was a tiny bit of hurt there too for the fact he hadn't been told what was going on.
He dipped onto the bed carefully, not wanting to jostle anything; plus having come in his yard clothes he was a bit concerned about making a mess. "oh yeah. all you need is an axe slung over your shoulder." Logan gave a small chuckle at that - relenting a little but touching the hand on his cheek gently. "no drugs, just water. so if i'm crazy it's all me." Logan shook his head slightly, not believing it. "cross my heart and hope to die." Logan sighed, "let's not use those words and tempt fate, shall we?" His brow furrowed at the loud cry of a baby, making good use of it's lungs down the hall. "I'm not sure about lumberjack, I think your fluids might be spiked," He sighed and shifted carefully on the bed. "so on a scale of one to leo, how mad was he that he needed to go instead of you?" Logan thought back to his brother's face and gave a half shrug, "I'd say it was Lily's 'someone hasn't changed the toilet roll' on the scale, but he understood when he realised why."
he'd gotten him there, he knew that. maybe he shouldn't have but it had been a logical point. the people you loved were supposed to drive you a little crazy sometimes. though he would try and hold fast to his promise to no joke about it too much anymore. it was easy to see how worried logan had been when he'd walked into the room and he knew that was his fault. it had made so much sense to him when he'd been telling quinn not to let logan know but now he was sane, medicated and feeling a lot better he could see her point.
he felt logan sit down on the bed next to him and he shifted across so he'd have more room to sit comfortably. when his fingers touched logan's cheek he did feel himself relax just a little. him being there certainly made ranger feel a hell of a lot better. if someone had told him he'd been so settled and happy in a relationship at this point in his life when he'd been a teenager he'd have laughed his head off. he wasn't going to settle down, he'd been one for fun and risk and lots of reward but then he'd met logan and that had flown out of the window because he couldn't look at anyone else now without comparing them to the man before him right now.
"alright, true," he said with a smile as he let his hand fall from logan's cheek down to rest on his leg gently. "might not be the best choice of words." and there was no way he wanted to tempt fate to take him away from the life he had now. it wasn't what he'd dreamed of when he'd been a kid but it was the only one he wanted now. he kept finding himself tuning out to listen down the hall to listen to the baby cry. it was almost heartbreaking to listen to and that was strange to ranger. normally he could ignore crying children if they were nothing to do with him because logic dictated that there would be someone there to care for them but it didn't seem like anyone could settle this kid. "poor kid." he mumbled softly as he brought his attention back to logan.
"well i wouldn't complain if they did spike it, but i promise i don't have those floaty out of this world feelings right now." he said with a slight grin. morphine was usually the only thing that did that to him and he certainly hadn't had any of that today. well that wasn't a great scale. he'd only forgotten once in the house and he'd never forgotten again, it was normally luke that coped that face. "well maybe we should go back to my place till he forgets about it." he was only half joking at that. he still had his own place even though he spent most of his nights at logans with him and chance but some nights when he finished early in the am he just went back to his place to avoid waking anyone at the other house. not that he thought leo would really hold today against him, they all liked to rib him but there wasn't a person you'd rather have on your side and even ranger knew it.

"alright, true," He kept that sterner look on him until he was sure it made the right impression. Sometimes Ranger was just that little bit too free-spirited and easy going. There was a time and place to allow people to worry and fuss; it meant looking after yourself. "might not be the best choice of words." He hummed an agreement at that. Logan was not one keen to mess with fate given the things that had happened to them over the years - everything else aside, if Ally's death had taught him anything it was to never mess with fate, and to always appreciate people whilst they were there with you.
He tilted his head slightly as the babies cry reached them once more, interrupting his thoughts like a spear. Considering his and Ranger's inability to have kids naturally, it was a bitter sweet sound to hear. Knowing that he would never be in that situation, never hear his child's first cry, the first testing of their lungs. Logan was aware they could look to adopt, and he hoped that with his experience and everything else he might be lucky, but he knew their family history was not the best and it could stick a potential spanner in the works. It was something him and Ranger had discussed, but not for a little while, and he wondered if it might be something worth bringing up again, so they could see how realistic their options were.
"well i wouldn't complain if they did spike it, but i promise i don't have those floaty out of this world feelings right now." Logan gave a small smile, "Ah, that's a shame. I was going to see if I could tap a vein for myself," He joked back, coming back a little from his worry - perhaps it would help him chill out a little if he did. "well maybe we should go back to my place till he forgets about it." Logan frowned slightly at that, he often forgot about Ranger's until he woke up and found the other side of his bed empty and cold. "Remind me why you still have that again?" He knew that he could move out of the house technically - it was by proxy Lily's house, and some people would wonder why he would want to live there with her family and Leo's, but it made sense. He had always been with his siblings, and with them all working at the yard it felt silly to look at moving away. The house was big enough to keep them all anyway.
the sound of the babies cries echoing through the halls toward them were sad enough that it hurt to listen to. he'd spent enough time around his nieces and nephews that he was certain he could tell the difference between a cry for a reason and a crocodile tears and there was nothing fake about this one. they'd talked about babies and more children between them but it had been a little while ago now and they did have chance who was just about as perfect as any kid could be, though ranger knew that had come at a great cost to chance and he and logan were working hard to make sure he felt he was allowed to mess up now and again, that he could have fun and not get in trouble for it. he was getting there but it was slow progress. he brought his attention back to logan and he glanced down at the drip and he grinned a little, looking back up at logan. "nah, these are just my drugs. all mine." he said with a bit of a smile.
"but you never know, if you kiss me you might just get a taste." he teased him a little as he felt himself relaxing a little as logan did. he knew that it would take a little while for logan to really forgive him for today but it had made the most sense to ranger at the time. then he brought up his apartment and he couldn't help but notice the frown that crossed logan's face again. they'd talked about him giving it up a few times but ranger hadn't really wanted to do that. he would admit that it sucked paying rent for it when he didn't use it much but it did have some use still, even if it wasn't very often. he shifted a little and reached to rest his hand on logan's thigh softly. "because i don't like waking you up when i get home at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning. you get up early and i always feel like an ass when i stumble in tired and have to get ready for bed and you stir." he said as he rubbed his thumb against logan's jeans lightly, trying to reassure him.
he frowned a little as he heard the cries again float into the room and he shook his head a little. he couldn't sit there and listen to it for much longer. it was pulling at every heartstring he had and he just wanted to know that the poor kid was okay. his profession was helping people and when he heard someone in distress it just made it all the harder for him to focus. he reached his free hand to grab the nurse call button and he pressed it, hearing it buzz and the light on the bed behind him lit up. "i'm just going to ask about them.."

"nah, these are just my drugs. all mine." Logan responded with a small smile of his own, "and here I was thinking we shared everything," He half joked. He had always been that kind of person, he had always shared things in his life - shared with his family, shared with his friends, shared with lover; the few and fair between that they had been. He was independent and had been a loner at times aside from his siblings and Luke, but his love language had always been about sharing, about being there with someone, and even now it still was. Maybe that made him slightly needier than some people when they were in their couples, but it was what helped Logan feel most secure and comforted. The drugs though, those he supposed Ranger could keep all to himself; along with his illness.
"but you never know, if you kiss me you might just get a taste." He chuckled at that, "I guess you are feeling better," He mused, and then shook his head, "I wouldn't want to catch your germs." He added, though he bent at the waist to press a chaste kiss to Ranger's forehead. "because i don't like waking you up when i get home at 2, 3 or 4 in the morning. you get up early and i always feel like an ass when i stumble in tired and have to get ready for bed and you stir." Logan shrugged and rested a hand over his. "You don't need to, if I wake then that's my problem, I'll sleep much better know you're home and safe." And it was true, at least then he would wake to know that Ranger had gotten in okay every night, rather than waiting for his text whenever he woke the next day.
Logan's frown echoed his partners as he heard the crying once again - louder and louder it seemed to go, though perhaps it was the way he was tuning it more each time the cries reached the room. He didn't like it, didn't like that he couldn't hear anyone shushing, or the fact that they just kept going and going without any sign of stopping. Something was wrong. He glanced at Ranger when he pressed his button, looking alarmed for a moment as he worried that something was wrong with Ranger. His hands fluttered uselessly until he reassured him, "i'm just going to ask about them.." Logan cocked his head, "ask about them?" He repeated, confused as to who 'them' referred to.
he smiled a little at logan's comment and he shrugged slightly. there wasn't a lot they didn't share but he was certain if pressed there would be at least one or two things. he hadn't grown up to be a big sharer really, he had four siblings and if you wanted something you had to fight for it or the younger kids pulled puppy dog eyes on his parents and more times than not they were believed. he'd grown out of that habit when he'd been a teenager and he'd eventually learned sharing was sometimes a good thing. especially when it was with someone you loved, like he did logan. the longer he saw with logan and the longer he talked with him the guiltier he was feeling about keeping this so hidden from him. he'd really thought he'd been doing the right thing but he'd seen the worry, see the fear and he couldn't deny it was eating him up a little inside to know he'd done that.
he smiled a bit more when he finally got a chuckle out of logan and had he been feeling better than he was he might have fist bumped the air but just because he was feeling better didn't mean he was 100% yet. every muscle in his body was aching from what he'd been through in the last few days and it was going to take a few days to go away. "i thought we shared everything?" he teased as logan leaned down to kiss his forehead. he closed his eyes at that and couldn't help but sigh with content. the person he'd wanted there more than anything was there and it just instantly made the situation feel so much better. the room didn't feel as empty as it had and it didn't feel as cold once logan was in it.
he felt logan's hand some to rest over his and he turned his hand over gently, linking his fingers between logan's so he could hold onto his hand gently. he knew they'd need to talk about the apartment but it was just always something that had been there. he did like having it there to go to when he worked late but he did know that he'd need to make a choice about it really soon. they had chance now and he was so settled at the family home. he could suggest that he and logan live in the apartment but he'd never ask him to think about it. not because he thought logan wouldn't but because he thought he might and that meant he'd be away from his siblings and the barn and knowing logan the way he did, he'd be unhappy if he did. "i do always try to message." he knew that wasn't the point though. "i get it though, promise to talk what to do about it over with you when i'm better?" he offered as a solution to now.
as soon as he pressed the button he felt the shift in the room and he saw logan's worry as his hands shifted. "it's okay, i'm fine." he promised, reaching to grab one of his hands again so he could reassure him. he just wanted to know that the kid was okay. there was nothing worse than knowing that a baby was alone and in distress and while he knew that nurses were busy, there should still be someone trying to comfort it. quinn must have finished her shift because there was no way that she'd have let that go on as long as it was. "i just want to make sure the baby is okay." he said as he glanced at the door. if he knew logan as well as he was certain he did, he'd be just as worried about the little tyke as he was. if the nurse that came to him didn't know, he'd see if logan could take a little walk and try and find out.

He rolled his eyes at the shrug, feeling far too much like one of his siblings with the gesture but unable to help himself. This wasn't something you shrugged off. He wasn't going to just get over this in five minutes, Logan was someone that tended to stew - he would get over it eventually but he wasn't quite as easy going as Leo who would wave it off and bounce back after five seconds. "i thought we shared everything?" He shook his head, "I'd rather we didn't share all our germs." He amended his sentence before he could word it in a way that Ranger would take advantage off. Naturally kissing shared plenty as it was, so he couldn't say none. He hated being ill though, he felt so incompetent and always tried to push through it, then made it worse and would have to give in.
"i do always try to message." Logan knew that, but as a natural worrier it was hard not to stay awake when he hadn't heard from his boyfriend, especially when he knew his shift times. "i get it though, promise to talk what to do about it over with you when i'm better?" Logan nodded and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Okay, it's a deal." He was fine with not going into it now - it wasn't really the time anyway, but he did want to discuss them living together full time. He was a slow burner kind of guy, but he felt that now was the time. He didn't want to spend evenings apart anymore. "it's okay, i'm fine." Logan relaxed a little but not entirely as he watched his boyfriend like a hawk in case he was downplaying things - again, wrapping his hand around Ranger's.
"i just want to make sure the baby is okay." Logan relaxed further when he knew it wasn't anything to do with Ranger, but he couldn't help but agree with that. "I was wondering the same thing," He glanced toward the door, just as another nurse came through to answer Ranger's call. It wasn't Quinn, but she had a similar look about her - blonde hair, sweet face, kind eyes. A little shorter than her. Logan didn't know her, but she looked somewhat harassed as if she'd been run ragged. "Hi, I'm Flynn, is everything okay?" She asked with a quick introduction as she hurried over to Ranger's bed to check his vitals and his chart.
he relaxed a little as logan squeezed his hand and agreed they'd talk about it when they were both back at home later. he knew it should be easier for him to get rid of the apartment, it wasn't like he had any doubts about committing to logan, they already had a son together and he couldn't imagine not being part of his life but he just didn't know how to start letting go of the space that had been his escape when a call had been too much, when they hadn't managed to get someone out of a car or out of a house before tragedy struck. he knew he could bring it back to logan and talk it out with him or just fall into his arms and hold him until the what ifs stopped but he hated the thought of bringing it back to the house. it was a good place, it was a great place and while he knew that logan and his siblings had been through a lot, the house was a safe space for them and their kids. bringing horror stories home was something he didn't know how to start doing. although he knew luke did, he took them home but he didn't know how he did it. he knew he'd have to explain this to logan when they talked about it, but he had some time to think of how to word it right.
he squeezed logan's hand softly to reassure him that it wasn't a problem with him. he wouldn't lie to him while he was right in front of him, and he was lying in a hospital bed. plus, he was sure that logan would bury him if he did it again, well maybe bury was a bit strong, but he'd be pretty unhappy with him. when he said it was about the baby, he saw logan relax a lot more and he nodded slightly. it was a heartbreaking cry to need to listen to and he wanted nothing more than to let the baby know that life was okay. he looked at the door as a nurse came in. she looked familiar but he couldn't place her name. "hi flynn." he said with something of a smile as he watched her come across the room to the bed. "yeah everything is fine." he said, knowing that she'd be checking his chart anyway. "we're just wondering, is the baby okay?" he asked, trying not to sound like anything but someone who was worried about the child, because that's all it was. he knew that too the wrong person it might sound like they were questioning the nurses but that wasn't it at all.

Logan was happy to let it go in that moment. It was not an issue or argument they had, it was just a conversation. He understood that even though they had a lot going on together and that they were both fully committed to each other that this was still a real step in their relationship. In Logan's mind it was the one before marriage - you moved into together before you got married. It was quite final and it meant that you were settling with that person. He didn't want to pressure Ranger if he wasn't ready to go there, but it made sense to him. Raising Chance together, and spending almost every day together, he knew Ranger had reservations about his own space, and Logan knew how busy it was at home. But they all knew and understand each other, when others needed time or space, or at least if Ranger needed to talk or sit with someone be could. Any of them would be there for him even if Logan wasn't or Ranger didn't want to worry Logan.
"hi flynn." Logan let Ranger do the talking and stayed quiet by his side. "yeah everything is fine. we're just wondering, is the baby okay?" Logan nodded to show he was thinking the same and watched as Flynn looked over his chart and then put it down once satisfied his vitals all looked in good order. She gave a small sigh and her smile was sad, despite the slight nod. "Yes, physically he's okay. He was found abandoned not far from here, I'm not sure if he wasn't left on the doorstep or not honestly. It's hard to settle him without the mother. " Logan frowned, "Someone left their baby? A newborn?" and despite understanding how some people could have difficult circumstances and be struggling, even he could not understand how someone could do something like that. A helpful and defenseless child left to face the cruelty of the world. He wondered what kind of person could do it, without at least making sure they were okay. Not when there were options to take, one's that were free. Flynn nodded to confirm his questions and Logan glanced at Ranger. She wouldn't have normally told patients but as she knew Ranger worked here anyway she didn't see the harm in telling him and his partner.
