Chapter 4
The next two weeks couldn't have gone any slower for Kylie. As she sat in the waiting room at the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic, Kylie noticed how many pregnant women were there. Kylie really hoped that the pregnancy test would come back negative.
"Kylie." a nurse called.
Kylie followed the nurse into an exam room and waited patiently for the doctor to come in. Once the doctor came in, she asked Kylie the typical questions and then began her exam. Kylie's mind was somewhere else during the exam, but was soon brought back to reality.
"Well, Kylie. Based on my exam and the pregnancy test you took when you first got here. You are indeed pregnant. I would say about 4 weeks at this point." the doctor told her.
"Thank you." Kylie responded.
"I will give you a prescription for Pre-natal vitamins that you will take twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening with dinner. You can pick these up at the front counter." the doctor told her. "Do you have any questions?"
"When is the due date?" Kylie asked.
"April 30th 2010." the doctor answered.
"Thank you." Kylie responded as she left the room.
After picking up the pills, Kylie headed to her house. She didn't call anyone until she got home. The first person she needed to call was Cody, then John and then her parents. She knew what her dad would say and when he finds out who the father is, he's going to want to come out of retirement to kill Cody.
Cody, I just got home from the doctor's office.
Ok. What did they say?
I'm 4 weeks pregnant. Due on April 30th.
Wow. Well, let's keep it just between us for now. Just in case something happens, you know.
Yeah. I'm going to go lay down. Didn't sleep good last night. Talk to you later.
Ok.
Just as Kylie was closing her phone. She received a text message from John.
How did it go today?
I would rather tell you in person.
Ok. Are you home?
Yeah.
Ok. I'm on my way over.
Ok.
Kylie headed upstairs and washed her face and changed her clothes. She was in the kitchen when John knocked on the door. Kylie let him in and they headed into the kitchen. Kylie fixed them both some lemonade and they sat at the small kitchen table.
"Are you ok?" John asked.
"I will be." Kylie answered. "I went to the doctor this morning."
"And?" John asked nervously.
"I'm 4 weeks pregnant." Kylie answered with tears in her eyes.
John set their glasses on the table and pulled Kylie into a hug. Kylie couldn't fight it anymore and she just let the tears flow. John knew what this meant and Kylie did too. Once Kylie was done crying, she looked up and gazed into John's blue eyes.
Neither one could fight the attraction any longer and soon their lips met. Once their kiss broke, Kylie smiled at John. They spent the rest of the day with each other. Kylie was really starting to fall in love with John, but knew that she needed to end things with Cody first.
A week had passed and Cody still hadn't said much about the pregnancy. Kylie took some time off of work to get things in order at home. One night during a rain storm, Kylie was driving back from Ft. Lauderdale when her car spun out of control after someone hit her. Her car wound up on its side on the side of the highway. Thankfully someone saw what had happened and called 911.
"Hello?" John answered his cell phone.
"We are looking for a John Cena." the caller stated.
"Who is this and do you realize that it's 2 am?" John asked.
"My name is Regina and I am a nurse at Tampa Bay Hospital. A young woman about 30 years old was brought in tonight and your number was the last number she had called." the nurse answered.
"Kylie?" John asked. "Is she ok?"
"We will be able to tell you more once you get here." the nurse stated.
"I'm on my way." John responded as he jumped out of bed and got dressed.
As soon as John arrived at the hospital he headed straight to the emergency room. He asked for Regina right away. He was told to have a seat and Regina would come get him soon. John sat impatiently in the waiting room.
"You must be John Cena. I'm Regina, the nurse who called you. If you follow me, we can talk in private." Regina stated.
"How is Kylie? And what happened?" John asked once they were in Regina's office.
"She was in a car accident. From the looks of it, she was hit from behind and her car spun out of control. When the EMT's found her, her car was on its side and she was unconscious. She is in stable condition, but she has not woken up yet." Regina answered.
"Oh my God! What about the baby? Did the baby survive?" John asked.
"I'm afraid not. The impact the accident had on Kylie's body was so severe that it's a miracle that she survived the accident. Now she has two cracked ribs, a broken wrist, and a fractured ankle on top of a concussion." Regina answered.
"When can I see her?" John asked.
"They are moving her to her own room. I will come and get you when her room is ready. And if I were you I would call her family as soon as possible." Regina answered as she handed him Kylie's cell phone.
John walked back into the waiting room and opened Kylie's cell phone. He searched through her contacts and found one labeled Dad. John hit send on the phone and waited for someone to answer.
"Kylie, is everything ok? It's really late." her dad answered the phone.
"Are you Kylie's dad?" John asked.
"Yes. Who is this?" he answered.
"My name is John Cena. I work with your daughter. She was in a car accident tonight and is at Tampa Bay Hospital." John responded.
"John, were you with her in the car?" he asked.
"No. She was alone. But I was the last person she called so the ER nurse called my number. I am at the hospital waiting to see her." John answered.
"Ok. Is she ok?" her dad asked.
"She is in stable condition, but hasn't woken up yet. She has two cracked ribs, a broken wrist, and a fractured ankle as well as a concussion." John answered.
"Ok. I will be on the first flight out of Hawaii. I will call her phone with my flight details. I give you permission to answer her phone." he stated.
"Ok. I will." John stated.
"Thank you for calling me, John." her stated before he hung up.
"Mr. Cena. You can see her now." Regina stated from the door way.
John followed the nurse to Kylie's room. When he saw Kylie hooked up to monitors and IV's, he couldn't help but wish that is was him laying in that bed instead of her. He sat in the chair next to Kylie and gently held her hand.
"Kylie, I don't know if you can hear me or not. But I am here for you. I called your dad and he is on his way to Tampa from Hawaii. As much as you don't want me too, I need to call Cody. He has a right to know that you were in an accident. I'm sure that the police will be here in the morning to talk to you and the doctors. I just hope that you wake up soon. I love you, Kylie." John stated.
As John rested his head on the bed rail, he felt Kylie squeeze his hand. He looked up and saw her open her eyes. John pushed the button for the nurse to come in. Once a nurse saw that Kylie was awake, she called for the doctor. They removed the tube from her mouth and gave her some water to drink.
"Did you mean what you said?" Kylie asked softly.
"You heard me?" John answered.
"I heard everything you said." Kylie responded.
"I meant every word of it." John stated.
Kylie smiled at John, but it didn't last. Kylie had to ask the question that they both were dreading. Kylie looked at John and somewhat already knew the answer, but she needed to hear it from John to make it real.
"Did the baby survive?" Kylie asked.
"I'm sorry, Kylie. But you lost the baby." John answered.
"I thought so. I could tell from the look on your face. It's ok. It wasn't meant to be. This will make it a little easier for me to break up with Cody. Did you call him yet?" Kylie responded.
"Ok. Not yet. I only got a chance to talk to your dad." John stated.
"Ok. Can you please call him? I'm going to try to sleep. The pain meds are making me sleepy." Kylie responded.
"Ok. I will be right back." John stated as he kissed her forehead before leaving the room.
John pulled out his cell phone and called Cody as soon as he got to the waiting room. The call went to voice mail. John couldn't believe that Cody wouldn't answer his phone, especially in the middle of the night. John decided to leave a message telling Cody what happened.
"Cody, it's John Cena. I am sitting in Tampa Bay Hospital after receiving a call notifying me that Kylie was in an accident. She is in stable condition, but has two cracked ribs, a broken wrist, and a fractured ankle. There is something else too, but I don't want to leave it in a message. Please call me back." John left a message.
As he was hanging up, his phone buzzed with a call from Cody. He answered the call and told him everything that was in the voice mail message. Cody only had one major question.
"Is the baby ok?" Cody asked.
"I'm sorry, but she lost the baby." John answered.
"Thanks. You know for being there for her. I will see about getting on a flight in the morning." Cody responded.
"Ok. Her dad is flying in as well. He arrives at 4pm." John stated.
"Oh ok. Thanks for calling me." Cody responded as he hung up.
John spent the rest of the night in Kylie's room watching her sleep. It was sometime around 5 am when John finally fell asleep. A nurse came in and covered him up with a heated blanket. Kylie slept until 8am when the pain from her injuries woke her up. She called for a nurse and told her about the pain. After taking some pain meds, Kylie was able to relax and eat some breakfast. John woke up as they were taking her breakfast tray away.
"How are you feeling?" John asked.
"Better. Still hurting, but the meds help with that. Did you stay here all night?" Kylie answered.
"Yeah. I didn't want to leave your side. But I do need to go get a shower before I pick up your dad at the airport." John responded. "By the way, what does your dad look like?"
"My dad looks like and is Ricky Dragon." Kylie stated.
"Ricky "The Steamboat" Dragon is your dad?" John asked.
"Yes. Sorry I didn't tell you, but it really never came up." Kylie answered.
"It's ok. I understand. Don't worry about it. I will go get your dad and come back here." John responded.
"Ok. And John, I love you too." Kylie stated before falling back to sleep.
John headed back to his house to shower and change. He then left for the airport. John arrived at the airport just before Ricky's flight landed. John waited for him in the baggage claim. Once they were in John's car, Ricky finally started asking questions.
"How is she?" Ricky asked.
"Doing better. Still in a lot of pain, but she is awake and talking and eating." John answered.
"Why were you the last person she talked to?" Ricky asked.
"I called her to find out about our next house show location." John answered.
"Ok. Is there anything else that I should know about?" Ricky asked as they pulled up to the hospital.
"Not that I know of." John answered.
"Ok. Let's go see Kylie." Ricky responded.
Ricky and John walked into Kylie's room and she was now awake and sitting up. She was happy to see her dad and John. Ricky talked to his daughter about the accident and she told him everything except for the part about her being pregnant and losing the baby. Soon Kylie started feeling tired again and wanted nothing more than to just go home.
"Well, Kylie you can go home as long as you have someone there who can help you around the house. I don't want you to do any lifting until your ribs are fully healed. I am also sending a full report to your boss so that you can get the time off to heal." the doctor told them.
"I will be here to help my daughter." Ricky stated.
"And I am here as well." John added.
"Ok. It looks like you have a great support system. I will sign your release forms and you can go home." the doctor stated before leaving the room.
