Randy, John and Josie arrived at the hospital and were taken back to the trauma area. Eve, Keleigh, Aiden and Ted were taken to other exam rooms to be checked out. Once they were checked and given a clean bill of health, they headed to the waiting room for news on the others. Keleigh looked up and saw her dad coming in.
"Dad, is he dead?" She asked him while holding Aiden.
"Yes, he is. He won't hurt you guys ever again." Jerry hugged her and took his grandson from her. "How are Randy, John and Josie?"
"The paramedics say they will be fine. The doctors haven't come out yet to tell us anything."
"Batista didn't do anything you or anyone else did he?" Jerry had to know if Dave had hurt his daughter again.
"No, thanks to my little guy teething."
Jerry laughed and hugged his grandson. "Keleigh, about Adam."
"Is he okay?"
"No, he didn't make it. I'm sorry."
"I can't believe Adam worked for Dave and then he took that bullet for Ted. It doesn't make sense."
Jerry sighed. He knew he would have to tell Keleigh but was now the right time. He was saved from saying anything when the doctors came out.
"Mr. Cena, Mr. Orton and Ms. Fairchild?"
"Yes." Everyone said.
"Ms. Fairchild just had a flesh wound. We cleaned it and wrapped it. She will make a full recovery."
Ted breathed a sigh of relief. "Can I see her?"
"Yes." The doctor pointed to a nurse to take Ted back.
"What about my husband?" Eve said before Keleigh could ask.
"We are taking Mr. Cena to surgery. The bullet missed anything vital and Mr. Cena didn't lose that much blood. We expect him to make a full recovery. If you like, we can take you to the surgical waiting room?"
"Thank you." Eve said following the nurse.
"What about my husband?" Keleigh asked.
"He is fine. We are taking him to surgery as well. Like, Mr. Cena, the bullet missed any vital."
"Thank you." Keleigh said with a sigh of relief. She turned to her dad who held Aiden. "I'm going to the waiting room. Are you coming?"
"Yeah, I just need to make a call." He handed Aiden to Keleigh and stepped outside to call Director Austin. He knew he would be coming to talk to everyone.
Ted walked into Josie's room and she smiled up at him. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. She smiled at him when the kiss broke.
"I'm glad to see you too." She said with a chuckle as she settled her head against her chest.
"You have no idea how worried I was. Are you alright? Nobody hurt you?"
"No, I'm fine." She said. "Well, other than the bullet in the arm."
"I have something for you." He said pulling the chain off his neck and taking her ring off of it.
He slid it on her finger and kissed her again. "There. Right back where it belongs." He said before he kissed her. "I love you Josie." She smiled.
"I love you too." There was a knock on the door and Jerry poked his head inside.
"I'm not interrupting am I?"
"No. I was just about to get my release papers and head home. How are Randy and John?" Josie asked.
"That's actually why I came to get you. They are both in surgery to remove the bullets. There was nothing vital hit though." Josie breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down off the gurney and grabbed her shoes.
"What about Adam? Is he okay?" Jerry hung his head and then looked back at Josie shaking his head slightly. "He died?" Jerry nodded. "That is so unfair. He did everything he could to protect us. To make sure that we were safe. And he saved Ted's life. He wasn't a bad guy Jerry. He wasn't a bad guy!" She said as tears fell down her cheeks. "Where are Keleigh and Aidan? I need to see them right now."
The doctor released her and she headed up to the surgical waiting room. She and Ted walked in and saw Keleigh sitting down with Aidan asleep in her lap. She looked over and saw Eve waiting too sitting by Keleigh.
"Are you both okay? Are the babies okay?" She asked walking in.
"I'm fine and so is the baby." Eve said first.
"Me and the baby are fine too." Keleigh replied.
"Is he okay?" She said pointing to Aidan.
"He is fine."
"Any news yet?"
"Not yet. The ER doctors said they both were going to fine. So that's good." Keleigh replied just as the doctor came out.
"Mrs. Cena?" He said.
"I'm Mrs. Cena." Eve said standing up. "How is my husband?"
"He is fine. We removed the bullet and replaced the blood he lost. I think he will make a full recovery. He is in recovery but I can take you to see him."
"Thank you." Eve said with a sigh of relief. She turned to Keleigh and Josie.
"Tell John I will see him later." Keleigh said to her. Eve nodded and hugged Josie and followed the doctor.
Eve nodded and hugged Josie and followed the doctor. Josie sat down in the chair next to Keleigh while she waited for news on Randy. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. Just a scratch. Jerry told me about Adam. He wasn't a bad guy K. He did everything he could to protect us. There has to be more to it. There has to be it." Keleigh sighed. She had the same suspicion. There had to be more to the story. The three of them looked up as the doctor came in.
"Mrs. Orton?" Keleigh smiled at the title and stood.
"That's me. How is my husband?"
"He's in recovery. We removed the bullet and replaced the blood. He should make a full recovery. I can take you to him if you will follow me." Keleigh nodded and they walked out of the surgical waiting room and headed to the recovery room. Keleigh handed Aiden to Josie and walked into the room as Director Austin came into the hallway and Jerry walked over.
"Lawler, can I have a word with you?"
"What?"
"I need to question them."
"Randy and John are in recovery. Their wives are with them. You can question Ms. Fairchild and Mr. DiBiase later. They have been through enough tonight."
"Lawler…"
"I said later. These kids have been tortured enough. And you can explain to them, ALL of them how Adam was involved and why he is dead. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go check on my son in law." Jerry walked back over to where Josie and Ted were. He smiled at them. They were so in love. And that was how it should be.
Keleigh walked into the room and sat down next to Randy's bed watching him sleep. She said a silent thank you that everything had turned out the way it had. Randy was still alive and they were finally together. And their baby was okay. She grabbed his hand in hers and smiled when he stirred a little and opened his eyes to look at her.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Hey baby." He said his voice laced with sleep. "How is Josie? Is she alright?" Keleigh smiled. It was endearing to know that Randy cared so much for Josie. It showed what a great guy he really was.
"She's fine. She's out in the waiting room with Aiden, Ted and Dad. The doctor says everything is fine. You should be able to get out of here in a few days." He nodded. She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead. "You just rest now. I will let Josie come in here and see you in a little while." He drifted back off to sleep and Keleigh walked out of the room.
Eve sat in John's room with her hand resting on her belly. She couldn't believe how much her life had changed. She and John were married and expecting a baby. She looked at the simple gold band on her hand.
"If you keep staring at that, I'm going to have to get you a better one." She looked over at the bed and smiled at her husband. "How is Josie?"
"She's fine. Just a scratch." John nodded.
"How…how is Randy?" Eve looked at him a little shocked that he would ask about his ex wife's new husband.
"I don't know. K said she would bring Aiden in to see you in a little while. The doctor said that you could go home in a few days." He nodded. "I love you John." He smiled at her and leaned up to kiss her.
"I love you too."
Keleigh walked back to the waiting room and saw Josie, Aidan, Ted, her dad, and Director Austin. She ignored him and walked up to Josie.
"How is Randy?" Josie asked.
"He is fine. He's sleeping. I think he would want to see you."
"Okay." Josie smiled and headed Aidan to Keleigh. She headed to Randy's room.
"I'm going to take Aidan to see John." Keleigh replied. She walked to John's room and knocked on the door. She heard Eve said come in. She walked in and saw John in the bed. "Hey, I thought you might want to see this little guy."
"I do." John smiled.
Eve realized that John and Keleigh needed some time with Aidan. She decided she would leave them. "I'm going to get something to eat. I will be back in a little while."
"Okay." John said to his wife. She kissed him and headed out.
Keleigh took the seat that Eve had vacated. "So, how are you?"
"I'm fine. The doctors said I should be able to go home in a few days."
"Great. I'm glad." She smiled.
"How's Randy?"
"He is fine. He can go home in a few days too. Thank you for saving him. I know it wasn't easy for you."
"You're welcome." He looked at his ex wife and then his son. "K, I'm sorry for everything. For not being able to leave my work at the office, for the obsession to get Batista, for cheating with Mickie, for cheating with Eve. For making things hard for you when we got divorce and you were with Randy. I'm so sorry."
"I know. John, we both made mistake in our marriage. It wasn't any one person's fault." She sighed. "I'm sorry too. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when Kofi died. I'm sorry that I cheated with Randy. I'm sorry for everything too."
"I know how close you and Randy were. I think maybe you were always meant to be together. I was fighting to hold on to someone who was never mine."
"John, I loved you and a part of me will always love you. I wouldn't have married you if I didn't love you. I don't want you to doubt that. You weren't my second choice."
"I know. I love you too. K, I want to start over with everything. I don't want to make things hard for you. I know you're happy with Randy and I'm glad you are. I want us to get along."
"I want that too. I want to start over. You with Eve and the baby you're having, me and Randy with this baby. And then little man here with everyone." She smiled tickling Aidan before gently handing him to John.
"Good." He smiled. He moved to looked at Aidan. "Hey, little man, I missed you." Aidan laughed as John tickled him too. John hugged his son tight. He was safe. They all were and he was grateful for that.
Keleigh smiled as she watched the interaction between them. She was glad that John was okay and that they were starting anew. She couldn't help but wonder if it was finally done with Batista. He was dead but there were so many questions that were yet to be answered.
