Chapter 12
"What do you think about Zander Theodore DiBiase?" Taylor asked.
"That's good." Ted agreed.
"Ok. How about Xavier Marvin DiBiase?" Taylor asked.
"Another good one." Ted agreed.
"Tyler Marvin DiBiase?" Taylor asked.
"Nice. Trevor Marvin DiBiase?" Ted suggested.
"Ok. We have four names for one baby. We seriously need to pick one." Taylor responded.
"I have a better idea for now." Ted stated.
"And what is that?" Taylor asked.
"You, me, our bed and lights out." Ted answered.
"Hmm. I think I like that idea." Taylor smiled.
It wasn't too long before Ted and Taylor were laying in bed and in each others arms. Both wanted more than to just lay there cuddling, so Taylor made the first move. Ted quickly got the hint and stripped down to nothing before making love to his pregnant wife. Taylor enjoyed every minute of Ted pleasuring her and making her his all over again.
Over the next few months, Ted worked as much as possible on the baby's room making sure that it was completely done by the time he was born. Ted was also traveling with work while Taylor stayed home since all the travel was very hard on her body.
A few weeks before the baby was due, Taylor was getting things ready for Halloween at the house and watching RAW, when she saw Ted get slammed into the steel steps. She watched the screen closely and saw that Ted was holding his left arm. Taylor grabbed her phone and called his cell, but no answer. She then called Vince's number and finally got through.
"Please tell me my husband is ok." Taylor stated.
"Taylor, he's being looked at right now by our medic team. As soon as he is done I will make sure he calls you." Vince responded.
"Alright." Taylor stated before hanging up.
An hour passed and Ted finally called Taylor. He told her that he was coming home that night and that his rotater cuff was torn and he needed surgery. Taylor told him that she would be at the airport to pick him up. Ted agreed before hanging up. A few hours later, Ted was home and holding Taylor in his good arm.
"I have an appointment tomorrow morning with my doctor here in Clinton." Ted told her.
"Ok. How bad is it?" Taylor asked.
"It's torn pretty good, but it's fixable. I should be ok by the time our little guy arrives." Ted answered as he placed a hand on Taylor and immediately got kicked. "He knows his daddy is here."
"Of course he does." Taylor responded. "He missed you."
"I missed him too. And I missed his mommy very much." Ted stated.
"I missed you too baby." Taylor responded as she kissed Ted.
The next day, Ted was told by his doctor that the surgery needed to be done as soon as possible. Ted didn't want to be in the hospital on his birthday, so he opted to have the surgery the day before. Taylor drove him to the hospital and were met by his parents in the waiting room.
"Mom, dad, what are you doing here?" Ted asked.
"You're having surgery, Ted. We wanted to be here." Melanie answered.
"It's out-patient surgery, mom. I will be home by this afternoon." Ted responded.
"I know, but still. We are your parents." Melanie stated.
"Yes you are. But I am 29 years old and married with a baby on the way." Ted responded.
"We know." Melanie stated as she took a seat.
Ted's surgery went as planned and he was in recovery before too long. As Ted started to wake up, the first thing he saw was Taylor sitting by his side reading a book. He smiled at the sight before making it known that he was awake. Taylor put the book down and stood up before leaning over to place a kiss on Ted's forehead. As she stood back up, she felt a sharp pain go through her abdomen.
"Mrs. DiBiase, are you ok?" Ted's nurse asked.
"Yeah. I just stood up to fast." Taylor answered.
"Ok. You're about 39 weeks right?" the nurse asked.
"Yeah." Taylor answered as she felt another sharp pain.
"Why don't you sit down and I'm going to call for the on-call OB doctor." the nurse stated before walking out of the room.
"Taylor, are you ok?" Ted asked.
"Just some braxton hicks contractions. Nothing to worry about." Taylor answered.
"Mrs. DiBiase?" a doctor asked.
"Yes." Taylor answered.
"I am the on-call OB doc. I was asked by your husband's nurse to come take a look at you." the doctor stated. "What seems to be going on?"
"Just some braxton hicks contractions." Taylor answered.
"Well, lets do an exam just to make sure." the doctor responded.
"Alright. Ted, I will be right back." Taylor told him.
An hour passed and Taylor still wasn't back. Ted was released from the hospital and after being wheeled down to the hospital entrance, he re-entered the hospital and headed up to labor and delivery where Taylor was being monitored. Ted told the nurse his name and that he was looking for his wife. After being told what room she was in, Ted walked down the hall and found Taylor laying in a bed and watching TV.
"Taylor?" Ted asked.
"The doctor just left to go get you." Taylor answered.
"What's going on?" Ted asked.
"We're going to have a baby. I'm in early labor." Taylor answered.
"We're going to have the baby tonight?" Ted asked.
"Well, more than likely sometime after midnight." the doctor answered.
"Ok. My parents are in the waiting room." Ted responded.
"Ted, I don't want your mom in here, please. I want to be able to have a stress free labor and delivery." Taylor stated.
"No worries, honey." Ted responded before kissing his wife.
After telling his parents and calling his brothers, Ted called Taylor's parents, her sister Annie and brother Nick and let them know that she was in labor. Once Ted got back to the room, Taylor had her eyes closed and was sleeping peacefully. Ted rested his good hand on the baby and told him to make it easy on mommy.
The hours passed and Taylor was slowly progressing through labor. Ted remained by her side while his family took turns getting coffee and food for everyone. It was well past midnight, when Taylor's labor started to go a little faster. Ted talked her through each contraction and before too much longer, Taylor wanted to push.
At 5:29 am on November 8th 2012, Tyler Marvin DiBiase made his entrance to the world crying and kicking. Taylor and Ted couldn't believe that their baby boy was finally there. Once Taylor and the baby were in a private room, Ted brought back the family to meet the newest member of the DiBiase family. Ted and Taylor couldn't have been happier then that morning.
"Happy Birthday little guy." Ted stated.
"Happy Birthday, Daddy." Taylor responded.
Ted just smiled at his wife who held their son. Ted had completely forgotten that it was his birthday. He couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift than to have his first child born on the same day. Taylor looked down at their sleeping son and smiled softly as he looked exactly like his daddy and that made her happy. Taylor whispered to her son, "I'll be Holding on to you, forever." as she placed a kiss on his tiny head.
