Chapter One: Hospital

Flashback: 02nd of August 2010:

"Daddy, I'm sorry!" She shouted her deep brown eyes, engulfed in tears, looking up at her father "It`s not like I meant for this to happen!"

"-But it did Lauren!" he shouted back, enraged at the behavior and misfortune of his daughter. "Do you have any idea how drastically this will change your life now?" he questioned hovering over his 17 year old daughter who sat on the couch in tears.

She just sat there silently, hoping this conversation would end on a better note, but knowing very well that it wouldn't. She sniffled and slowly wiped her tears away, looking down at the floor. There was no way she could look her father in the eyes, she was disappointed in herself at the moment.

He lowered his voice a bit, watching his daughters every movement, he couldn't stand to see her cry, but he also couldn't stand the fact that she made such a wrong decision and got herself into this situation. "Sweetheart-" he sighed and kneeled down in front of his daughter, lifting her chin to meet his gaze "Your mother and I dedicated our lives to protecting you and always making sure you had the best in life." He paused taking Lauren`s hands in his "-Now this happened and I feel like we didn't do our job right."

Lauren leaned over and hugged her dad as tight as she could "Daddy, you didn't screw up; I did and I will take full responsibility for this but I need you to know I don't regret it." She licked her pink lips which were dry and cracked "I don't ever want to go through life with regrets."

Her dad smiled softly up at his daughter "And I want you to know I will always be here for you." He looked down at her stomach and placed a hand gently over it "And this baby…"

Lauren sat in the hospital waiting room, thinking about that very night as if it had just happened yesterday, knowing all too well it happened about a month ago. She let warm tears roll down her cheeks as she rubbed her tiny belly. Not even 3 months along and she had a tiny bump, not able to be seen by the public eye, but she knew it was there.

She would have given the world for that night to be happening again, she would have given anything not to be here right now, in the hospital, watching her dad fight for his life…Earlier in the day she had gotten a phone call stating her father had been in a head on collision with a F150 Ford truck and that he was in terrible shape. A few minutes ago they had just informed her that he might not survive. His head had taken a great deal of trauma, that's where his suffering was coming from. He was internally bleeding inside his brain and if they couldn't stop the bleeding in time, there was no saving him. Worst part of this is, she was going to lose her entire family. Her mother had died when she was 15 from ovarian cancer and now just a couple years later, her dad. How was she going to handle things if her dad didn't make it? She loved him to death, he was her everything, you can defiantly say she was a daddy`s girl.

"Here you go sweetie, you need this…" A soft female voice said from behind her holding two cups of coffee.

She smiled softly looking up at her best friend Becky. Her and Becky had met Freshman year of high school and have been inseparable ever since. Right now they had just started their senior year; and what a way to start it…

"Thanks…" Lauren had no strength in her to talk let alone drink coffee or even eat anything.

Becky gave her a sympathetic look and rubbed her shoulder "I know how hard this is Lauri, but you need to eat at least drink something for the baby."

Lauren nodded and knew her best friend was right. She took a sip of the hot coffee and let it heat up her insides, managing to change the subject Lauren asked "How`s your brother doing?"

Becky nodded with a small smile creeping up her lips "Good, traveling with work as always." Becky`s brother happened to be none other than WWE Superstar Randy Orton. It was a shock to Lauren when she met Becky to find out she was actually his sister. Lauren was obsessed with wrestling; that was something her dad got her into, ever since she was a baby; Him, her mom and her would always sit at the couch and watch wrestling every week, with a bowl of popcorn to accompany them.

Becky smirked softly; she had that same mischievous grin like Randy. Lauren looked over at her as if confused "What?" she questioned.

"I thought you hated my brother?" she asked

Lauren snickered "I do, no offense Hun, but he`s an asshole."

Becky shook her head laughing softly "You just need to get to know the real him, he doesn't open up to very many people."

Laruen sighed and mumbled "…maybe because he thinks the world revolves around him; Arrogant ass."

Becky raised a brow with a short laugh "What?"

Laruen looked her way and took another sip of her coffee "Nothing…" she sighed looking down "I just want my dad to be ok."

Becky leaned over and hugged her best friend "Have faith; He will."

Lauren looked down at her belly and rubbed it gently letting a single tear fall. "I hope your right."
