Jeff tried to take in the information that his girlfriend had just told him. "What do you mean that Laci is on her way to the hospital? What happened?" he asked.
"I don't know," Beth said as the EMT's began to come inside the house and tend to Laci. "All I know is that she was talking as she got up from the couch and started acting funny and then collapsed. Look, the EMT's are here, and I'm going to ride to the hospital with her. Can you talk to Matt and get his ass home?"
"Yeah, we'll see you soon," Jeff said and then hung up his phone. He immediately started walking down the hall in search of his brother. About half way down the hallway, Jeff noticed Matt walking toward him.
"Matt, hey I need to talk to you for a minute!" Jeff exclaimed.
"Not now, Jeff," Matt said as he pulled off his elbow pads and started walking away. "I just want to get out of the arena and chill at my hotel room."
"Laci's on her way to the hospital."
Matt stopped dead in his tracks and then turned once again to face his brother. "What do you mean Laci is on the way to the hospital?"
"I just got a call from Beth. I guess she got up from the couch while talking, started acting funny and then collapsed. The EMT's were there while I talked to her."
Matt listened to the information while rubbing his hand over his hair. "Will she be ok?"
"I don't know," Jeff shrugged. "All I know is that I was told to get your ass to the hospital. I already called Vince-you have the next few days off due to family emergency."
Matt nodded as he started jogging toward his locker room, leaving Jeff in the middle of the hallway. Smiling that Matt was finally headed toward his locker room, Jeff nodded and then ran after his brother.
Meanwhile, Beth was figeting in her seat as she waited to hear from Laci's doctor. Gil was sitting to her left, and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down.
"Beth, darlin', calm down."
"I'm trying, I really am. I'm just nervous for Laci. I just want her to be ok and the baby to be ok."
Then, the swinging doors opened, and out walked a tall, thin man. "I'm looking for the family of Laci Michaels."
Gil and Beth both stood up. "How is she? Is Laci ok?" Gil asked.
"Laci's blood pressure was through the roof. We think that is the reason for her being sick, and ultimately passing out. Has she been stressed out about anything lately?"
"Well, alot has been going on at work, and she's been having problems with her boyfriend."
Laci's doctor nodded. "I'm going to keep Laci overnight for observation, and then should be able to be released tomorrow. We also gave her medication to help with her blood pressure. I want to put her on bed rest for the rest of the week, and if her blood pressure is down at her next appointment, then obviously I'm taking her off bed rest."
"Can we see her?" Beth asked.
"Sure, but please remember, try not to stress her out."
"Go see how she is," Gil told Beth. "I'll sit out here for awhile and wait for the boys."
Beth only nodded as she followed the doctor through the swinging door. About 3 hours later, Matt and Jeff were literally speed walking through the hallway looking for the reception desk to find Laci. When they were about to turn a hallway, Jeff noticed their dad still sitting in the chair sleeping.
"Matt, there's dad!" he exclaimed as he walked quickly to the sleeping man, and gently shook him. "Dad, dad!"
Gil then started waking up, and noticed his two sons were on each side of him. "It's about time you boys get here!"
"Dad, is Laci ok?" Matt asked.
"She's down the hall with Beth. Her doctor said that her blood pressure was through the roof, and may have been one of the main reasons she was sick and collapsed."
"Can I see her?"
Before Gil could say anything, all three of the men heard the swinging door, and watched Beth walk toward them. After getting a hug and kiss hello from Jeff, she turned toward Matt.
"Laci is in room 234. I would suggest that if you are going to say something mean and hurtful to not go in there. She is not to have any stress around the rest of the week."
"I'm not going to say anything like that, I promise," Matt said as he raised his hands up in surrender. He then walked down the hall and eventually found room 234. He quietly knocked on the door, and when he popped his head through the door, he was surprised to see Laci awake.
"Hey!" he exclaimed as he took a seat next to her bed. "How are you feeling?"
"A little better. I think that's the most you have talked to me these last few days," Laci said as she started fidgeting with her hands.
Matt hung his head in shame and then looked his girlfriend in the eyes. "Baby, I'm so so sorry for the way I have been acting. I guess...when I saw Miz in our house, I was just nervous."
"What were you nervous about Matt?"
"I was nervous that I would lose you. I know that Miz is the biological father, and I guess I was worried that you would want to be with him."
Laci smiled softly as she took Matt's hand. "Why didn't you tell me all of this to begin with?"
"Probably because I'm a jackass." he said, causing Laci to giggle.
"Listen Matt, you have nothing to worry about. I'm in a relationship with you for a reason, and that reason is because I love you. Yeah Miz may be the biological father, but like I told you a few days ago, you are her true father. I want it to be us that mainly raise her."
Matt smirked as he leaned foward, and placed a soft kiss on Laci's lips. "I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?"
"Absolutely. I love you."
"I love you too," Matt said as he kissed Laci again. As they were still kissing, Matt remembered the engagement ring hidden in his suitcase in his car. It will have to wait another few days, he thought to himself as the kiss was broken and Matt and Laci smiled at each other. I don't want to propose in a hospital.
