Chapter 10
WWE characters belong to Vince McMahon and Titon Industries. Nothing belongs to me except the characters I made up.
Lita's Point of View
Not long after the nurse gave me magnesium in an IV she started, I began to have that bad taste the doctor warned me about. I don't feel queasy, so I'm going to try to eat. Kane gave me the Big Mac and DR. Pepper first. With the first bite came the queasiness, but I need to eat, so I'm going to suffer through it.
It took me about an hour just to eat the hamburger that Kane brought me. I can't get past the taste the magnesium is causing me to have. I pushed the food away from me. "I'm done, Kane. I tried to eat it, but I can't. I hope they don't give me anymore of that stuff and they let me go home tomorrow."
"Just be patient, Lita. Let the doctor do his job and stop complaining. If you have to be here a few more days, then you have to be here a few more days. It'll be alright." Kane said as he watch a movie on television. Just like a man.
I laid my head back and tried to get some rest when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I called out. Much to my surprise, it was my mother again.
"Jean, don't upset her, please. All of the stress from today has caused her to have contractions. If you're here to put your two cents in to our marriage, then wait until after Emma is born." Kane said to my mother. I swear you could knock me over with a feather.
"No, I'm not here to upset her, I want to apologize to you both. I just spoke to Jeff and I asked him if the things Kane said Matt did were true. And he said he would prefer not to answer that. That's the only answer I needed." My mother said as she sat down beside me.
"What things did you tell her Kane?" I asked, scared of the answer.
"I told her he used to hit you to the point that your eyes would swell shut." He said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh no. Kane! Why would you do that? I didn't want anyone to know that! How the hell did you know?" I said, obviously put out.
"I'm not stupid, Lita. I never believed you fell or wrecked your car all those times. I know what it looks like when a man beats a woman. I confronted Matt on it about three years ago. I told him the next time he beat you or any other woman, I would give it back to him ten fold. Then, a year later, I fell in love with you. I wanted you away from him, but I also wanted you with me. So I did all those things for those two reasons. Every time I hit him, it was in retribution to him still hitting you and to drive a wedge between you two.
"I tried to talk to you, but you told me not to be silly that Matt would never hit you. I was so pissed." He answered, never breaking eye contact.
"I know that, now. I still don't understand this marriage between the two of you, but I am willing accept it. I have to say that I am proud of Lita for sticking with it, though. Her father and I raised our children that marriage is forever. No matter what. But, you can't go back to treating her like property, Kane. You can't do that to my daughter. You're about to have a daughter of your own, so think about how you would react if some one came along and treated your daughter like that." My mother said to Kane.
I couldn't stop the tear that slid down my cheek. I couldn't believe the words that I heard coming out of my mother's mouth. I might keel over from shock.
"Lita, honey, I'm so sorry how I spoke to you and upset you today. I've spoken to Vicky, too. She told me everything that Kane and you have told her. If you're happy, then I have to back you up. I'm not saying this is going to be easy for me to accept, because it won't. And if I slip up and call you Matt by accident, that's all it is; an accident. I mean they were together for six years." She said and took my hand as she finished speaking.
She stayed for about an hour after that and, then when she left, she shocked me again, by hugging Kane.
I finally was able to sleep after the nurse helped me go to the bathroom. As far as we can see on the monitor, the contractions have stopped. Maybe they'll let me go home tomorrow as planned.
The next morning, the doctor came in around 5:30 am and told me I had to be on bed rest for the duration of my pregnancy. He said I could move around the house, but it had to be small things and if I felt anything different that I wasn't comfortable with, to make an appointment with him, no matter how small. That I can do.
We gathered our things together and went to the humane society to see when we could get Cody back. They told us there would be a court hearing and we would find out then. I hate this. He did his job, I mean he protected his home and his family and now they want to punish him.
When we got home, Kane helped me into the house and get settled, he called an attorney to see what we could do about getting Cody back. There shouldn't be a problem. He's had all of his shots and he did what he was supposed to do. If Cody wasn't there, I'm not sure what Matt would have done.
"I don't know if I'm going to make four months of bed rest, Kane. I thought I could do it, but now I'm faced with not even the luxury of going shopping. I hate this. I wonder if the doctor would consider it bed rest if I went out on the road with you. I want to be there for you." I whined.
"Oh my god. It's not even two hours and you're already whining. No you can't go out on the road with me." Kane huffed. "You'll be alright." He started to say something else, but his phone rang. "Hello," he answered. A few seconds later, he smiled and said, "That's great, Mark. How's Sara? How big is Chasey?"
I guess Sara had the baby.
"Wow big baby. I'm glad mom and baby are doing well. Lita and I are having a girl. We're naming her Emma Grace."... "Okay. That sounds great."... "See you there, man." He closed the phone, smiling.
"Sara and Mark have a baby girl. She was born at 1:30 this morning. She weighs 9 pounds and 5 ounces and she's 23 inches long. Mark said he's going to email pictures of her today."
"My gosh that's a big baby. How's Sara?" I asked.
"Sleeping. She didn't have any drugs at all so she's pretty tired. We're you planning on not having any drugs?" He asked, raising his brow.
"I haven't thought about it, really. I think I want to keep the option open." I said.
"You're nuts. Lets get that swim in that you were going to take yesterday." He said as he went to the bedroom.
After we were through, Kane helped me out of the pool. As I was getting changed out of my suit, the door bell rang. I froze. What if it is a repeat of yesterday?
I came out to find the lady who lives across the street talking to Kane and holding a dish. "Hello, dear. How are you feeling? I brought you a stew. I prayed hard for you, honey."
"Thank you so much. We really appreciate this, Mrs... I'm sorry we haven't had the chance to meet yet." I said to her.
"That's quite alright, honey. I don't know your names either. My name is Edna Martin. My goodness, do you play basketball young man?" She said, looking at Kane and noticing is size.
"No, Mrs. Martin. Kane and I are professional wrestlers. My name's Lita." I answered her smiling. "Come in, please have a seat. Kane will you take the dish in the kitchen?" I said as I led Mrs. Martin into the living room.
"Have a seat. I'm glad we get to finally meet one of our neighbors." I said.
"If you don't mind my asking, Lita, what happened yesterday? Are you alright? Were you hurt?" Mrs. Martin asked me.
"No I don't mind at all. Some one from my past can't accept that I married some one else and he wants to get me back. Just a man acting like a little boy." I answered her.
"I don't keep up with the wrestling, I don't think I've ever watched it to tell you the truth. My grandson does, though." She said sweetly.
"That's okay. I was wondering if anyone had recognized us since we moved in. No one has approached us though." I said.
"I believe the young man to the left of you has. I thought he knew you, because he was talking to the EMT's and asking where you were being taken so he could inform your husband. I thought you knew one another." She said, a bit confused.
"Oh, I'll have to thank him. Do you know his name, Mrs. Martin?" I asked her.
"Dale, I believe is his name. He's a doctor of some sort. He and his wife are very nice people. I've only spoken to them a few times. His wife has a big career as well. I never worked. My late husband, Benjamin was the CEO of CSX. I lost him two years ago to a heart attack. We were married 45 years when he passed. He was all I ever knew. I married him when I was seventeen and he was twenty five. His father worked with my father and we met at a company picnic. It was love at first sight. We were married six months later. How long have the two of you been married, honey?" She asked.
"Well, just under a year. But we've known each other for a long time. We met through the company we work for." I said.
"That's nice. I need to be going, sweetheart. I have company coming soon." I walked her to the door.
"I'll bring your dish back soon. Thank you so much, Mrs. Martin. I'll be here everyday if you just want to visit. Here, take these to your grandson. What's his name?" I asked her as I got some pictures of myself and Kane and found a black sharpie.
"His name is Corey. That's so nice, Lita." She said as I signed my name on the picture I addressed to Corey. Kane came into the foyer and addressed and signed his, too. She took the pictures and said she would check on me tomorrow.
"We need to walk over and thank Dale for yesterday, Kane." I said as I closed the front door.
"We will. I want you to rest first. Too much excitement. Are you hungry?" He said. I swear, sometimes I still want to kick his ass.
Kane made me a sandwich and we watched a movie. I miss Cody. I hope we don't have to leave him there long.
"Kane, will you call the human society to see when we can bring Cody home. Please. I miss him." I want my dog back so bad.
He took out his phone and called them. He said a couple of okays and then hung up. "The lady I spoke to said that if all the paper work is in order from his shots then we can pick him up tomorrow but we will still have a court hearing about him. Matt can file charges on him for biting him. I swear it he does, that's just going to be another nail in his coffin." Kane angrily said.
I hate it when he talks like that. After a few minutes, he suggested we go meet and thank our neighbors.
We walked hand in hand to Dale's house. Kane rang the bell, and we waited. I heard a dog bark and a man say, "Hush, Mitsy."
In a few seconds, the door opened, the man standing there, opened the screen door for us.
"Come in. How are you feeling, Lita? I thought that was you when you moved in." He said, smiling. He shook Kane's hand as we entered the house.
"This is really something. I told my wife that I thought you guys moved in next door and she told me I was nuts. Wow, I'm a big fan of both of you. When I spoke to the EMT's yesterday, I only got a glimpse of you Lita, so I was pretty sure then. That guy didn't hurt you did he?" Dale said, as he showed us into the living room.
"No, he scared me more than he hurt me. Thanks for telling Kane where they took me." I said to him.
"I didn't know what in the world was going on when I heard the sirens. My wife, Rebecca looked out the window and said they were stopping next door. I went out and saw that guy being arrested. Was it a home invasion? I didn't get a good look at him or anything." He told us.
"I'm glad to know we have neighbors that watch out for each other. Lita will be home now until the baby is born. I would like it if you and your wife check on her from time to time when I'm on the road." Kane said to Dale.
"Sure. I've actually just retired and sold my practice so I'll be here most of the time.
"Rebecca, come meet the neighbors, honey." He called over his shoulder, causing the little pomeranian to bark again. "Mitsy, be quiet." He said to the dog.
A few seconds later, a red headed woman who looked to be about forty five walked in the room. "Hello. How are you?" She pleasantly said as she shook my hand. "I'm Rebecca."
"Lita, this is my husband Kane." I said smiling at her.
Her face went white when she realized who we are. "I thought Dale had lost his mind when he said you had moved in next door. Yesterday when he said he yelled across the yard to Kane, I told him it couldn't be. What an honor to meet you both."
We visited with our neighbors for a while and went back home. We had the stew that Mrs. Martin dropped off to us. It was possibly the best stew I have ever had. While we ate, I found a movie on demand. After it was over, the phone rang. Sometimes I feel like we live in Grand Central Station.
"What the hell do you want?!" Kane yelled into the phone, making me nearly jump out of my skin. Only one person could make him that angry.
"No you can not. If you call here or come here, or talk to my wife ever again, I will kill you, Hardy!" He slammed the phone shut.
"What the hell? I'm calling the police. How did he get out?" I exclaimed.
"I don't know, but he's a dead man." Kane snarled and left the room. I knew it was best to leave him alone.
I picked my phone up from where he dropped it and called the number on the card the policeman gave me yesterday.
"Officer Whitaker, this is Lita Calloway. Was Matt Hardy released from jail?" I asked the officer.
"Yes, he was released this afternoon after he posted bond." The officer answered politely.
"He just called here. I didn't answer the phone so I don't know what was said. My husband spoke to him and he's not happy." I said.
"I'd like to speak to your husband, Mrs. Calloway." Officer Whitaker said.
I went to get him and found him in the nursery looking out the window. "Kane, the police need to speak to you." I said as I handed him the phone. When he took it from me, I placed my arms around his waste and embraced him. I needed him to know Emma and I were safe.
"This is Kane." He said as he placed his hand in the middle of my back.
"He said he wanted to speak to Lita. I yelled at him and hung up on him." He said after a few short seconds. "Yes, his number came up on caller ID." After a few more seconds, "Yes, you can. I want him to stay away from my family." With that, Kane closed the phone. I looked up at him, waiting for him to tell me what was said.
"The officer will be here in a few minutes. He wants the number Hardy called from. He said the judge told him to have no contact with you what so ever. We'll need to let Vince know what's going on." He said.
"Okay. Kane, Emma and I are fine. You don't have to worry about us. We'll be fine. I promise." I tried to calm him down.
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Lita." He said.
"I'm not, Kane. Please, stay calm. I don't want you to get hurt or hurt anyone else. Please, stay calm." I pleaded with him.
He pulled me tight to him then, almost hurting me. "I'm afraid something will happen to you and we'll lose another child. I can't go through that again, Lita and I know you can't either. I love you so much. I want to get my hand on Snitsky and on Hardy."
"I know and you will. Just focus on getting Snitsky, okay." I said, trying to comfort him.
