Notes: I don't own anyone or anything except my OC's. Thanks to all reviewers, readers and alerts. This chapter was a hard one for me to write but I think it turned out pretty good. Chapter 26 will be the last in this story, yes sadly it is ending. But I'll get more of my stories on here. I have the one shot sequel to this too and it will be posted shortly after the final chapter. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Chapter 25 -

Grace's P.O.V.

Our honeymoon was great. We made love every night and spent all the time we could together. Finally going back, gotta pick Landon up and let everyone know about baby #2. I look over at Ted sitting in his seat lightly sleeping.
"So what do you hope we have?"
"Well we have a boy so now I hope we get a girl." He said with a smile.
"A girl huh?"
"Yup a girl that maybe is just as beautiful as her mother." This time I smiled and reached over and kissed him. Ouch! Just felt a sharp pain in my head. Oh great now I have a headache.
"Something wrong?" Ted asked as I grabbed my forehead.

"Just got a headache. I should be fine."
"If it gets any worse let me know and we are going to the hospital."

6 Months In Current Pregnancy.

I've been buzzing through the halls. Landon is almost a year now and getting so big. He is usually with Ted or Randy as they are his two favorite people to be around. I rounded a corner and ran my baby bump right into Morrison.
"Slow down girl, ya headed to a fire?"
"You never know back here." I said and laughed a bit. "Just finished with Cena's new photo shoot, rushing to print them since they are wanted ASAP."

"Oh." I started walking away and he grabbed my arm.
"Something wrong Grace?"
"Just a mild headache. Nothing I can't handle."

"Are you sure? Cause somehow you don't look too sure."
"I'm sure. I swear I'm fine." I swear Ted let everyone know that my blood pressure had been slightly elevated and now everyone keeps asking how I am.
"Are you sure?"
"I'll be fine, this is a mild headache."
I smiled at him and walked away. Truth is it is more then mild but I've already been told that if I keep getting these headaches that I'll be taken off of work and I love my job. These headaches aren't anything I can't manage. Later on back at the hotel, Ted just got Landon down for bed and I walked out of the bathroom holding my head.

"Whats wrong?"
"Got one of those headaches again."
"Let's take you to be seen."
"I'll be fine, I promise. I'll take this tylenol and lay down and it'll go away."
"If it gets any worse I want to know."
"I'll tell you I promise."
"You better." He said standing up and wrapping his arms around me.
"I don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
"You aren't going to lose me, I promise."

7 And a Half Months In

So far so good, still pregnant and loving life. Morrison is the first man up for pics today, so I grabbed my camera and headed to the studio. I set the camera up and then it was all black...

Morrison's P.O.V.

I knocked on the studio door and never received an answer. Usually Grace says come in or opens the door herself. I knocked again and still nothing so I opened the door and peeked in. Grace was lying on the floor face down. I ran up to her and rolled her over.
"Grace... Grace wake up. GRACE." I screamed at her but she didn't respond at all.

I seen someone walking around in the hall and I yelled for them. Randy walked in.

"Go get Ted." I said and he took off running.

Ted's P.O.V.

I got settled in catering with Landon, just started feeding Landon some food when Randy ran up to me with tears in his eyes.
"You have to come now, its Grace." I grabbed Landon and we went running to the studio. We walked in and she was on the floor unconscious, Morrison and trainers were at her sides trying to get her to revive her.

"Grace. Grace, can you hear me?" One of the trainers was yelling to her but she didn't respond. I handed Landon to Randy and climbed down on the floor next to her. I pushed her hair back and kissed her forehead.
"Come on Grace, say something. Please baby, come on say something." I felt the tears leaving my eyes and I never got a response from her. The trainers called for an ambulance and I looked up at Randy who's tears began to fall pretty heavily. I stood up as the paramedics came into the room.
"Has she been having any problems lately?"
"She's been having bad headaches."
"She is going to the emergency room."
"Ok." I said and went over to Randy.
"I'm gonna ride with them, can you watch him or do you want me to take him?"
"You both go, I'll watch him." Morrison said. I looked over at him and sighed. I grabbed Landon from Randy and handed him to Morrison. I patted him on the back and Randy and I made our way following the paramedics to the ambulance. Once in the ambulance

the paramedics were checking her over.

"We already know one problem."
"Whats that?"
"Her blood pressure is soaring, 187 over 113."

Arriving at the hospital they rushed her in, Randy and I had to wait in the waiting room. This waiting is killing me. I was pacing the floor and Randy was pretty much doing the same. He called his parents and let them know and they said they would be on the first flight out. I started to think of all the things that could happen and I started to lose it. I can't lose her not now, not after all we've came through to get here. I put my head in my hands and broke down. I sat down and the tears were falling so hard and I couldn't stop them. Randy sat down next to me with tears freely falling from his face.

"She'll make it, she is a fighter."
"I hope so Randy cause I can't live without her." He put his arm around my back and patted me.
"She will, how many times have I fought with her and how many times has she backed down?"
"You guys have fought a lot and she has never backed down. One of the bravest women I know." Melina and Morrison made their way in with Landon.

"Any word yet?" Melina asked.

"Not a thing yet." I said. John sat down a little ways over holding Landon. I looked over at Landon and he smiled at me. He slightly put a smile on my face. I stood up and went over and grabbed him and held on to him.

"Landon, we have to hope and pray mommy is gonna be ok."

"Grace DiBiase?" A doctor said poking his head in.
"I'm her husband, we are her family. Whats going on?" I walking up to him.

"Grace should be fine. Her blood pressure is spiking because of preeclampsia. The only real solution to it is child birth."

"So you are saying you want the baby to be born early?"
"Thats not what I'm saying entirely. I'm saying that her blood pressure problem is only going to get worse until she has this baby. It is up to the two of you on what should be done. She is almost into her 8th month, a baby at this age usually makes it with little to no complications. The decision is left up to you guys entirely."
"How can she make decisions if she is unconscious?"
"She has regained consciousness just before I came out."

"Can we see her?"
"Sure but two at a time." Landon and I headed back with Randy. We opened her door and she was laying in the bed crying. We walked in and she tried to hide her tears.

"Why you crying babe?"
"Because of the situation. The doctor explained to me whats going on and I don't know what to do."
"Personally for the health and sake of you and the baby, I think its best to have the baby now." Randy said.

"I have to agree with Randy." She looked over at Landon who had smiles on his face for her.
"Landon, my baby boy, are you ready to meet your brother or sister?" All he did was smile at her. She sat in silence for several moments with a look on her face of uncertainty before ringing the nurse and doctor in.

"We've made our decision!"
"What is your decision?"
"We are going to induce labor, but I want to have this baby naturally. I don't want a c section unless its absolutely necessary."
"Understood. I'll get you transferred up to labor and delivery immediately and started on pitocin. We are going to give you a shot now to help mature the baby's lungs."
"Ok." She said and they gave her the shot. They got her ready and when we went into the hall Melina and Morrison were there waiting.
"Whats going on?"
"We are having the labor induced so we prevent further problems. Thank you guys for being here, make sure you stick around and meet the kid after." She said and we looked up and here came here parents.
"Mom, Dad, I'm so glad you guys made it." Randy said. They rushed up to the bed and gave Grace a hug.
"Where you going?"
"We are inducing labor to prevent other problems from developing." I said and the nurse was rushing us to go. She started pushing the bed and we went up to maternity.

Grace has been on the pitocin for 5 hours and is only dilated to 6. She was in a lot of pain and I could see it in her eyes. Everyone that was there had been in and out most of the time.

Grace's P.O.V.

This labor is harder than Landon's. I'm in so much pain and I wish they'd up the dose on the pitocin, I want this baby out now. I rang the nurse up and asked for them to raise it up and they raised it to the max that they can. The contractions are getting more intense and more powerful as the minutes pass.

-Hour Later-
"Contraction?" Ted asked as I squeezed his hand.
"Yes." I put my head back on the bed and felt a headache starting. The nurse came in to check on me.

"You are fully dilated and ready to deliver this baby. I'll get the doctor." She said and walked out. Moments later the doctor came in.

"Now give me a nice big push on your next contraction."
I pushed and pushed, the more I pushed the stronger my headache got. I felt the baby come out and then it was black again...

Ted's P.O.V.

"Grace, Grace. What happened to her?" I asked the doctor.
"Her blood pressure is soaring again, she may have had an aneurysm. We need you to leave now."
"I'm not leaving Grace."
"Sir we need to give her meds and evaluate her. Please stand out of the way."
I kissed Grace on her forehead and made my way over to the baby. I looked down and met my daughter. She looks a lot like Grace and I need her to pull through this.

Hours after all of it happened they told us that Grace did not have an aneurysm and that it was just her blood pressure causing her to black out again. They let us all in the room as well as our daughter. The doctor encouraged us to talk in the room, saying that it may wake her up. We talked and talked for hours but nothing happened. During the middle of the night I was laying in bed next to her.

"Grace I need you to open your eyes and look at our daughter. She wants to meet her mom." I looked down at the baby and we hadn't discussed a name but I think I got the perfect name for her, Carla Jade. Just seems to fit her and I can't explain why.
"Open your eyes baby."
