Recovery.

NOVEMBER 10th, 2015

Ever since Seth came back last week, it has been quite the whirlwind. We've been in and out of doctor's offices for the past week, taking all kinds of tests to make sure Seth was being diagnosed properly. It had been confirmed that he tore his ACL, MCL and medical meniscus in his right knee, but we didn't know just how bad it would be. I tried to stay optimistic for Seth, telling him things like maybe it wasn't too serious and he wouldn't need to get surgery. I let him know that no matter what I would be there for him and we would get through his injury together. Unfortunately, we found t he would need surgery and would be out for six to nine months. I was devastated for Seth. I know just how hard he worked to make it to the top and because of one wrong move, he lost it all. I can't even imagine how he must be feeling right now, he must feel ten times worse than I do. The most I can do is just support and help him over these next couple of months.

Today we found ourselves in Birmingham, Alabama at the OrthoSports Center & Medical Tower, where Seth would be having his surgery. I can't say I'm not nervous, I'm extremely nervous. I watched way too many movies and heard of too many scenarios where a person doesn't make it out of surgery. It's nerve-wracking to know that his body is in the hands of other people while he's under anesthesia and doesn't even know what's going on. I imagine that freaks him out too but he doesn't say much. You would think it's me having the surgery since I'm freaking out and he's just calm.

I was bouncing my knee and looking down at my phone, reading some tips on what was the best way to help someone recovering from this surgery when I heard Seth.

"Dani?"

I looked up and put my phone away in my pocket before walking over to the hospital bed that he was laying on. "Yes?" I asked, standing next to him.

"Relax." He said with a soft smile.

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

"You're not." He told me. "You've been biting your nails and bouncing your knee since we've been here. I know you're worried about my surgery but everything will be fine. It's going to work out and then I can start recovering and worry about getting back in that ring."

"How are you not freaking out?" I asked with a small chuckle as he reached over and held my hand in his.

He shrugged. "I guess because I trust the doctors and know I'm in good hands. Plus, if I freak out, it won't do any good for me."

I let out a sigh and nodded. "It's just scary knowing that you'll be under anesthesia while your body is in the hands of other people. Especially since I can't be in there." I pouted. "You think I can find some scrubs and sneak into the operating room?" I joked.

Seth let out a laugh and shook his head. "Knowing you, you'll faint and blow your cover." He teased me as I rolled my eyes. "It'll all work out. I've spoken to Hunter a lot about the surgery and I have complete faith that I'll be fixed and then ready to go and get started with PT."

I nodded in understanding, knowing that Hunter went through a similar injury and he probably was able to keep Seth calm about the whole injury and surgery. "If you believe it, then I believe it too." I said with a small smile.

Seth raised my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on top before I leaned down to give him a kiss. We kissed for a while until the doctor made his presence known by clearing his throat. Seth and I broke apart.

"Alright, Seth. We're ready for the surgery. Are you?"

Seth looked over at me and then nodded as he looked back at the doctor. "I'm ready."

I gave him a small smile as the doctor nodded and he left the room to get the nurses to roll Seth into the operating room.

"I'll be here." I told him.

"With a big mac and fries for me?" he smirked.

"Yeah, sure." I rolled my eyes and let out a laugh. I let out a small sigh and then nodded, I needed to stop worrying because I'm sure it had him worried too. "I love you." I said to him.

"I love you too." He said as he pulled me down towards him and kissed me.

NOVEMBER 11th, 2015

Seth's surgery went really well yesterday. They were able to repair the damage that was done to his knee and once he was done recuperating from the surgery, he would be able to start physical therapy. They said maybe as soon as next week. After they brought him back into the room, he surprisingly woke up and started talking about how he was going to win the title back and come back stronger than ever. That was all filmed by the WWE for a documentary they wanted to put together, recapping Seth's injury and his eventual return. Seth amazed me. Not even an hour out of surgery and he was cutting a promo. Pure determination.

They kept him overnight last night to make sure all was good before he could be released. After making sure he was okay this morning and everything seemed in good shape, I was finally able to take him o the hotel we were staying at. He wouldn't be able to travel for another week or so, so we had to book a room in town. I could tell he couldn't wait to get to the hotel and rest properly, hospital beds weren't comfortable to sleep in and I'm sure with all the noise the machines made, he wasn't able to get much rest.

After we left the hospital, I stopped to get him some food before I continued to the hotel. Once we made it, I helped him up to the room and then went back to the car to grab our belongings. Entering the room, I saw that Seth was sitting on the edge of the bed, so I walked over to him.

"Wanna lay down?" I asked.

He gave me a soft smile and nodded. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea. These meds have me so tired."

"That and I'm sure you didn't sleep well last night." I said, returning his smile. "Can you lay back for me?" I asked, so that I could help him if he needed me to.

He was able to scoot back towards the headboard and I propped the pillows for him so he could lay down. Once he did, I made sure to move his legs carefully so he could get comfortable. After making sure he was okay, I propped some other pillows under his leg to keep it elevated.

"Is that good?" I asked.

"It's good." He nodded.

"Well….good." I said with a small chuckle. "I think it's time for your meds. I'm going to get them, okay?"

Seth nodded as he closed his eyes and just let out a small sigh of content. I could tell he was much more comfortable already.

Grabbing his pills and water, I came back. "Here babe." I said taking two pills out and handing it over to him. He took them and then put them in his mouth and grabbed the water bottle I had, drinking some of it so that his pills could go down. Once they did, he handed me the water bottle back.

"Thanks, Dani." He said. "Hopefully I can sleep and not feel the pain as much."

"I hope so too. I hate seeing you like this." I frowned a little before leaning down to place a kiss on his forehead. "Get some rest." I said as I stood up to go put the water bottle in the fridge.

Before I could get far, Seth got a hold of my wrist and pulled me back towards him. "What is it? Are you in pain?" I asked.

He shook his head again. "Lay with me." He said.

"Seth, you need to be comfortable." I told him.

"I will be, I just need you next to me."

Well, with a reply like that, how could I deny him? I smiled and nodded. "Alright, fine. Let me put the water in the fridge."

With that, he let go of my wrist and I put the water in the fridge and then grabbed one of the extra blankets from the closet before going back to the bed. I laid next to Seth and then made sure the blanket was covering the both of us before I rested my head on his chest.

"This okay?"

"Perfect." He said as he kissed the top of my head and then grabbed my arm, putting it over his chest. He started to stroke my arm lightly and I smiled to myself.

"You know that makes me sleepy, Seth."

"I know." He smirked.

"You know I move a lot in my sleep. God forbid I move and hit your knee."

"You won't and if you do, I'll make sure to hit you back." He teased.

I let out a small laugh. "It'd be your funeral buddy." I teased back.

"Right, okay." He snorted. "You need your rest anyway. We'll both nap."

"Fine, you win." I said as I let my eyes close and I listened to his heartbeat. It was a sound I loved to hear.

"Dani?"

"Yeah?" I replied, eyes still closed.

"We'll be alright." He told me, kissing the top of my head once again and holding me tighter against him.

It's like he always knew what I was thinking. Sometimes it's like he knew what I was thinking before I even knew. I worried not only about the surgery but also about his recovery. Would it be something we would be able to get through together? Would I be able to take off of work and be there for him through every important part of his recovery process? It was something I didn't know the answer to but I hoped would be proven over time. However, as I laid there I realized that I didn't need to wait to find out. He knew the answer. If he believed we could get through this, then I believed in it too.

a/n: Cuties. If there were any mistakes, I'll fix them soon. I just wanted to get this chapter up. Reviews? :)
