Over the next few weeks Drew tried everything to get Emily alone but nothing worked. Even when Maryse set up for him to be where they were, the bodyguards had been doubled. He was getting impatient. Emily was now close to five months.
"Well, are you excited we get to find out what the baby is?" Emily asked John as they waited in the exam room of her doctor's office.
"I am. Now we can pick out a name and decorate the nursery." John replied. He wasn't really comfortable coming with her to the doctor but he knew how much it meant to her that he come and be involved in things.
"Do you want a little boy or girl?"
"Little girl. Because she will so be a daddy's girl like you."
"I know I'm a daddy's girl and I figured you would want a girl." She laughed.
"Well, Emily, are you ready to know what the baby is?" Mark asked coming in.
"Yes. We are very excited."
"Okay." Mark laughed and put the gel on her stomach and got the probe. "Alright. Let's see what the baby is doing. Okay, there is the head, arms, and legs. Good strong heartbeat and it looks like a healthy little girl."
"A girl, really?" Emily was excited about having a daughter and she knew John was too. She smiled at her husband.
"Yep. You are having a little girl."
"Thank you, doctor." John said to him. He smiled at Emily.
"No problem. Baby is healthy. Now Emily, your blood pressure is still high. Did you follow my advice?"
"Yes. I've been resting, eating right and trying to eliminate stress."
"Okay, but it is still very high. So, you are on complete bed rest until I see an improvement. That means you only get out of bed for short periods of time. No traveling anymore. We need to get it down. I'm also going to prescribe some blood pressure medication. Nothing that will hurt the baby. Just it will get your blood pressure down."
"Okay. What else?" Emily knew something else was going on.
"You also have a tear in the uterine lining which will heal with bed rest."
"Is that serious?" John asked.
"It can be but because it is early, I don't think it will be. Bed rest is the best thing right."
"Okay. I will stay in bed." Emily replied. She was going to do whatever it took for the baby to be fine.
"Good. Okay, rest and I will see in two weeks." Mark gave them the DVD of the ultrasound and the photos and headed out.
"John, I'm worried. What if bed rest doesn't help?"
"Hey, it will and everything will be fine. You and our daughter will be fine."
"I hope so." She said as she got off the exam table.
"Emily, I promise. Everything is going to be okay. You will rest and I'm sure your dad will come and keep you company and the rest of your family. And I will be there as much as I can."
"I know. But Drew is still lurking around and I'm worried about what he might do if I'm home alone."
"You will never be alone. The bodyguards will be there around the clock. You will always have me or your dad there. If we can't be, then someone else will be. I'm not letting Drew anywhere near you."
"Okay."
"Good. Now, let's go home and I will cook you anything you want."
"Oh, steak and potatoes."
"Yes and anything else you want."
"Yay!" She said happily.
They headed out and home. John called Bret and explained the situation as they drove home. Bret said he would call the rest of the family so they would know. Once they were home, Emily headed right to bed and John started cooking for her.
Drew had followed them to the doctor's office but couldn't get close enough to Emily. He had decided on a new plan. Instead of going after Emily, he decided he would go after John. Once John was taken care of, Emily would be heartbroken and she would be easier to get to. He left Tampa and headed to the next city where RAW was taking place. He wanted to get his plan in action so, he could get John out of the way.
After cooking, John headed upstairs with the dinner for him and Emily. He was going to make sure she stayed in bed and everything was okay.
"Alright, Emily, dinner is ready so, let's eat." He said sitting down beside her.
"This is so good." She said taking a bite. "I definitely have to have you cook more for me."
"Yeah. You know I will."
"Okay, while you were cooking, I was thinking about baby names."
"Alright and what did you come up with?"
"Well, I picked five. So, I figured you could pick five and we would compare."
"I would like to hear what you have and then tell you if I like them."
"Okay." She said excitedly. "I like Alden, Molly, Morgan, Gracie, and Emma."
"Emma is a lot like Emily. Are you saying you want to name our daughter after you?"
"Not really. I just like the name. What name do you like?"
"I like Molly, Emma and Gracie."
"Emma is very popular right now. And it does sound like Emily."
"True and Evan will no doubt want to call her Emmy which might confuse her more."
"Yeah. So, how about Molly Grace?"
"I like that. Molly, John and Emily. Sounds good."
"You're silly. So, did you talk to my dad?"
"Yes, daddy's girl." John laughed. He kidded her about how much she was a daddy's girl but he hoped his daughter would be as close to him as Emily was to Bret. "He is coming to visit you."
"Good. Then you and he can get the nursery ready."
"Molly isn't going to be here for four months. We have time."
"I know but I want it done now. Pleeease." She whined with her pouty face.
"Alright. I will talk to your dad. Do you have an idea about how you want it?"
"Yes and everything is already ordered from Babies "R" . It will arrive in a few days."
"Everything? Furniture too?"
"No. The furniture, you have to pick up. But I have a list of what I want with pictures. So, you and dad can get it."
"Alright."
"Yay!" She kissed him and got her laptop.
John couldn't help but laugh at her. She always got excited about the little things. Plus he knew she knew she had him wrapped around her finger to do whatever she wanted. It had always been that way even before she got pregnant. He got up to go clean everything and left her to shop online some more. He wanted to call the guys and ask him to see what Drew was up too and he called the PI to see what he had. He wanted to make sure everything was covered but he had no idea that Drew was now focusing on him instead of Emily.
