Chapter One: Memory Loss
"Where am I?" his voice weak and confused. He looked over towards the small brunette with a baby placed on her hip, who looked tired and weak, just as weak as he felt. "Who-"he stopped a moment and cleared his throat "Who are you?"
Lauren put her hand over her mouth, tears making their way down her cheeks, letting her head fall in disappointment she whimpered. He has no idea who I am, she thought. She looked up at him before her, tears still staining her cheeks, and walked closer to him placing her free hand over his. "You don't remember me?" she whispered looking into his blue eyes.
He looked down at her hand on top of his and then pulled away from her grip; that actions itself made Lauren want to break into pieces. He shook his head "Remember you?"He sighed "I don't know you…"
"Mommy, wandy sick?" the tiny 7 months old that Lauren held on the side of her right hip questioned.
Lauren looked down at her baby girl who stared at her with saddened eyes and nodded her head. That's all she could do at the moment was nod her head, she was broken, hurt and she was sure her daughter felt the same way. She moved her daughter up higher on her hip and looked down at the floor not making contact with Randy`s eyes. "I'm going to call the doctor."
Randy raised his brow "Doctor?" he looked around and shook his head in confusion "Why am I in this hospital? How do I know you? Why are you here?" question pilled out of his mouth and not in the nicest tone. Not the tone she was used to, it's like he became cold.
Lauren didn't answer him; she just let a fresh batch of tears slid down her face and ran out of his hospital room. Once she got to the nurses' station she informed them that Randy was awake and had no recollection of anything. A few nurses ran into his room while one at the reception desk dialed the doctor to come in immediately.
"Yes I need Dr. Ramirez in the hospital stat, one of his coma patience's has awakened with memory loss…" the nurse informed on the phone.
Lauren looked through Randy`s hospital room door; watching as nurses checked him and asking him a series of questions all the while Randy looking very uncooperative. Lauren sighed and sat down on a free chair that stood outside the door. This is going to be more painful than I thought, her mind wondered.
"Momma, wandy!" Gabby exclaimed on her lap with tears being shown in her eyes.
Lauren pushed back Gabby`s hair and smiled sympathetically toward her daughter "I know sweetie, I want him back too." She confessed.

Entry Two:
Randy has finally awoken from his coma and I couldn't be happier that he is here, back with us and alive….There is always a but in these stories…'but' he has severe memory loss, no recollection of who me or Gabby are, at all. You don't know how hard it is to see the person you love so deeply no remember you or show any emotions of if he even wants to remember you…
All I know is that as days pass and turn into weeks and weeks turn into months, this is only going to get harder, it's not like he`s going to believe I'm his girlfriend, who has a baby by another man and he loves us both dearly. It's like he's a different person now; it's like starting at square one. I hope with all my heart that his memory loss disappears and I hope he doesn't forget about 'us'.
Lauren closed her book and sighed letting her head lean against the wall; she looked over at John who held Gabby in his arms and was currently playing a video game with her, she had no idea what was going on in the game, but her smiles and giggles didn't go unnoticed. John and Becky had shown up as soon as they could when they heard from Lauren that Randy was awake. Most of the other superstars couldn't make it as quick but they didn't keep in touch with one of the trio to see how Randy was coming along. Vince was due to call any second and Lauren knew it.
John looked over at a broken Lauren, as Gabby messed with the Nintendo DS that sat in his hands. "He`ll remember you." He whispered "You're the best thing that happened to him."
Lauren smiled weakly looking over at John and Gabby "That means nothing now; He's like a different person, he doesn't know I'm the best thing that happened to him…"
John sighed with a shake of the head "Lauren he has memory loss sweetie, it's not like he's doing it on purpose."
"As long as you're happy…" she whispered with a slight pause but then continued "That's what he once said to me." She smiled softly at the memory. "I'm not happy…" she sighed and let tears fall down her face "This shouldn't have happened John! This is complete bull! Why Randy! Why John!" she shouted as she cried her eyes out.
John lifted Gabby in his arms and held her on his left arm as he quickly kneeled down beside Lauren and sighed, he felt tears want to fall from his eyes, this was worse than he thought. He rubbed her shoulder gently as a tiny voice spoke "Momma, no cry no!"
Lauren tilted her head toward her baby girl and lifted her from John arms brining her to her own and holding her close to her "I love you sweetie." She whispered into her daughter's ear.
John sighed and hugged his friend tightly leaning down whispering in her ear "Have faith."
Lauren bit her lip with a soft smile, that seems to be the right words to say at times like this, she thought.
The click sound of a door closing caught the attention of the two friends and their heads immediately shot towards Becky standing outside of Randy`s now closed hospital door. They looked at her with anticipation, waiting for something to be said.
Becky bit her lips and wiped away a few stray tears as she looked up toward both John and Lauren "He remembers me…"
