Athena's POV

Another day in pain. It's been over a month now and there's no end in site.

"Good Morning how was the gym?"

"Ok, how you feelin' today?"

"The same."

"Did you give any thought to what the Doctor said?"

"Yeah."

"And?"

"John , I can't ask you to take on that kind of responsibility."

"You didn't ask I offered. And a month ago when you walked out of you fathers house and came to Boston with me you became my responsibility."

"John …"

"Listen to me Athena, I wouldn't have said something if I wasn't serious about it. Nothing would make me happier then to be the father of your child."

"John, there's a lot involved with Invitro. It takes a big commitment and some fertility clinics won't even consider it unless the couple is married."

"So let's get married then."

"What?"

"Don't move I'll be right back."

Ok I must be dreaming. There is no way John just offered to be my baby's father and there is no way in hell he just suggested that we get married.

"John …What are you doing?"

"Proposing what's it look like?"

"John this is crazy."

"I bought this ring the week you moved here as sort of a promise ring you know so you'd believe me when I said I only want you. I wanted to be romantic but with my schedule it just never worked out. Sooooooo …Athena Bautista will you be my wife?"

"You are insane!"

"It that a yes?"

"Yes."

Bri's POV

God I hate waiting. Especially when I know the news is going to be bad. I have been sitting in this waiting room since three a.m. it's now six thirty. I don't even know what really happened to Dave. He called me and said he took a bad bump and he had to be helped out of the ring, next thing I know I'm getting a call that he's in surgery and I need to get to the hospital. Thank god he was only two hours away in Hinsdale.

I'm grateful that Steph and my dad are here with me.

"Mrs. Bautista?"

"That's me, how is he?"

"He's stable. We had to put a rod in his back but he should make a nice recovery."

"A rod? That means he'll never wrestle again right?"

"Most likely yes."

"Does he know this?"

"We talked briefly before the surgery and he is aware that it was possibility."

"Can we see him?"

"Shortly he is waking up now so as soon as he is in a room you can see him."

"Thank You."

"Sweetie he's going to be fine."

"Daddy, I don't know how much more he can deal with."

"God only gives you what you can handle. He is a strong man he'll pull through."

"I need to call his girls. I'm going to step outside."

Come on pick up.

"Hello?"

"Athena its Bri."

"Hi."

"How soon can you get to Hinsdale?"

"What's wrong?"

"Your dad had to have surgery on his back that couldn't wait. They had to put a rod in."

"Oh god! Text me the hospital info we're leaving now it will take like two and a half hours."

"Ok I'll see you when you get here. I need to call Your Nana and Lani."

"I'll call them if you want."

"That would be great thanks."

John's POV

This is not how I wanted to spend my off days but there is no way I was letting Athena drive all this way alone.

"Babe, I'm sure your dad's gonna be fine."

"What if he's not? What if he can't wrestle anymore?"

"I'm sure if he can't wrestle anymore Vince will give him a nice behind the scenes job. It'll all work out I promise."

"Thank you for coming with me."

"It's no problem besides at least right now your dad can't beat me ass."

"He'll come around I know he will. I just don't know when."

"I'm not worried."

Ok maybe I'm a little worried but she doesn't need to know that.

Dave's POV

Fuck! I can not move. This is bullshit.

"You're awake?"

"Hi, what are you doing here?"

"Um, I'm not sure how to answer that. The hospital called and said they had no choice but to do emergency surgery and I should get here as fast as I could."

"Oh …"

"The doctor said that you'll be here for three more days and then they will transfer you to Alabama where Dr. Andrews will take over your care. Steph is calling around now to find a house to rent down there so Trey and I can be with you."

"How long am I going to be like this?"

"I don't know we have to wait till we get to see Dr. Andrews for that."

"I love you. You and Trey are the best things that have ever happened to me."

"I think the pain meds might be talking sweetie."

"No, I mean it. Lani only wants me when she needs money and my Princess is gone. All I have is you and Trey."

Bri's POV

Thank god he fell back asleep. I need to go out and talk to Athena before she comes in.

"Hi Sweetie, how was the drive?"

"Long. How is he?"

"He's in a lot of pain and he's a little loopy so I'm not sure what he might say. Don't take anything to heart ok."

"Yeah can I go see him?"

"Sure, I'll stay here and talk to John."

I really hope he's happy to see her. He needs to know she still loves him.

"Well how are things in Boston?"

"Can I tell you something in confidence?"

"Sure. What's on your mind?"

"I'm sure she's gonna want to tell you and Dave herself but, we're getting married and we're gonna have a baby."

"You're kidding me right?"

"Nope."

"Don't you think it's a little soon for that?"

"No. She's in pain everyday. She wants to have a hysterectomy but she wants at least one chance to be a mom first."

"Wow …"

Athena's POV

Here goes nothing.

"Daddy?"

"Princess?"

"It's me. How are you feeling?"

"Like shit. What are you doing here?"

"Come on dad all the surgeries you've had have I ever missed one?"

"No, but that was before you decided you hate me."

"Daddy I don't hate you. You're the most important person in my life."

"More important then John?"

"Yup."

"Is he here?"

"Please don't be mad daddy he didn't want me to make the drive alone."

"Is he leaving to go back now?"

"No he's staying till I'm ready to go back home."

"Boston is not your home. You should be with Bri and I and your brother."

"Daddy you should get some rest. We can talk about this later."

"There's no talking Athena if you go back to Boston with him I'm done with you."

"Well dad I'm sorry you feel that way because I'm all grown up now and we're getting married and we're going to have a baby. It would really mean a lot to me if you would support me on this."

"Leave I have nothing to say to you. As of this moment you are no longer my daughter."

"Daddy please …"

"Leave!"

I can't believe he is just writing me off like this. Lani had a baby at sixteen and another at eighteen with two different guys and she didn't marry either one of them. What ever I'm done. I need to get out of here.

"John lets go. I wanna go home."

"Babe what's wrong."

"He said I don't exist to him anymore so I don't need to be here."

"Babe, he's heavily medicated. He doesn't know what he's saying."

"I'm leaving are you coming or not?"

"Yeah."
