Here's a new chapter of What You're Worth.
Thanks to all readers, reviewers, etc.
I own Rosalyn, Garrett, Tommy, Bailey and Phoebe in this chapter.
Three months later…
Rosalyn let out a hissing noise as the needle pierced her stomach. Bailey grabbed her daughter's hand tightly as Dr. Kelley extracted some fluid for the DNA test. The young blonde let out a sigh of relief as the needle was taken out again. The redhead doctor wrote something on a label, and then stuck it to the vial that contained the fluid. She cleaned the area around the needle entry point with an antiseptic wipe and rubbed some kind of gel onto it afterwards.
"Ok, this will get sent right to the lab." Dr. Kelley informed them.
"How long until we have the results?" Bailey asked.
"Two days. Come back here and I'll give you the results." The redhead replied.
"Thanks you." Bailey nodded as she helped her daughter off the bed.
"Let's go." Rosalyn sighed.
Once they had got into the car Rosalyn switched her cell phone on. It buzzed immediately with messages. The first was from Tommy, asking how the DNA test went while the other was from Garrett, telling her he loved her and would see her tomorrow. Her heart would break into a thousand pieces if the test came back saying it wasn't his baby. She knew that his heart would break too.
"Not long now. We can relax once we know for sure." Bailey told her daughter.
"I know." Rosalyn replied, placing a hand on her tiny baby bump.
Once they got home, Rosalyn ate a little dinner and went upstairs to her bedroom. She wanted to fall asleep and wake up tomorrow, and then there would be less time to wait for the results. She lay down on her bed and placed a hand on her bump again. It was more real now that she could see the changes to her body. The blonde let her mind wander as she lay down. Part of her was excited about having a baby with Garrett, but negative part of her reminded her that it could all be taken away when the results were revealed.
The following day didn't get off to the best of starts. Tommy arrived at the house and woke Rosalyn from a fairly peaceful sleep. She was making herself some breakfast when he suggested that she should eat something healthier when she was carrying his kid. Firstly, she was pregnant, and if she wanted pancakes for breakfast she would have them. Secondly, why was he already calling it his baby?
"Can I feel the bump?" Tommy asked her after she finished her pancakes.
"I guess so." Rosalyn shrugged.
"Cool." Tommy nodded as he placed a hand on her neat little baby bump.
"I wanna be there. When you get the results." Tommy told her.
"But, Garrett's going to be there." Rosalyn replied.
"I don't care. I'm not missing the moment." He replied.
"Ok, I guess it's fair." The blonde shrugged.
Tommy went and sat on the couch, motioning for Rosalyn to join him. She warily walked over and took a seat on the other end of the couch, but that only made him scoot closer to her. Rosalyn felt tense as he draped an arm over the back of the couch and stared at her. She folded her arms defensively and pursed her lips. Tommy let out a deep chuckle and moved a strand of hair behind her ear.
"When the tests come through, we should think about moving in together." He told her.
"After what you've done?" the blonde retorted.
"I had some issues, but that's over now. I am truly sorry for hurting you. I was blinded by jealousy. I didn't deserve you and I wish I could prove myself to you." Tommy said.
"How would you do that?" Rosalyn asked him.
"I would take care of you and our baby." He replied.
"I'm not interested in being with you." Rosalyn told him.
"But you're happy to settle for him?" Tommy asked, referring to Garrett.
"I'm not settling for him. I love him." She replied defiantly.
"You obviously didn't love him those few months you were chasing after me." Tommy said.
"I've known him my whole life." Rosalyn replied.
"You never did give me the truth Rosalyn." Tommy looked at her.
"About what?" she asked him.
"How you ended up with Garrett." He replied.
"Do you honestly want the truth?" the blonde asked him.
"Yeah, I do." He nodded.
Rosalyn sat up a little and turned to look at Tommy. She chewed her lip nervously and absently fiddled with the hem of her t-shirt. He motioned for her to continue. She nodded and took a breath.
"The night you let me out of the car…" she said.
"Let me guess, did he come to rescue you?" Tommy asked her.
"Yes, but we argued." Rosalyn replied.
"Then what?" he asked her.
"I ran out of the car and he ran after me. We ended up kissing and then we…" Rosalyn looked up at Tommy.
"So, you weren't a virgin when you slept with me?" Tommy frowned.
"No. I still wanted you though." Rosalyn explained.
"I bet Garrett didn't take that well." The young Cena smirked.
"He loved me." Rosalyn said.
"But he couldn't stand that his precious Rosalyn was touched by another man…" Tommy smirked.
"If you're gonna be a complete ass, you can leave now." Rosalyn frowned.
"I need to get to the gym anyway. See you at the hospital." He said as he walked out of the door.
The day of the results finally arrived. Rosalyn had been awake since early on. She dressed in a pink vest and white pants. Her hair was in plaits either side of her head. The suspense was building up inside her. She wanted desperately to know; yet she was afraid she might find something she didn't want to know. As soon as midday rolled round, Ted drove his daughter to the hospital. Bailey couldn't bear to be there when the results were revealed.
As they walked down the hospital corridor they spotted Garrett with Phoebe and Tommy with John. Ted could feel his daughter tense up, not sure whether to stay or just run for it. He greeted Phoebe and John. Garrett hugged Rosalyn and she smiled nervously. Tommy smiled and folded his arms, knowing that just his presence was making Garrett uncomfortable. Rosalyn went to the desk and informed them that she was there to see Dr. Kelley.
It was an uncomfortable ten-minute wait as the six of them sat in the waiting area. Rosalyn saw Tommy ogling the nurses a few times, but she had come to expect that kind of thing from him. Phoebe and Ted were almost silently conversing through their thoughts and expressions. They had never lost their connection in all these years. Garrett looked at Rosalyn the whole time that they were sitting there. She could hear the clock on the wall ticking, louder and louder. Eventually the doctor appeared and apologised for the wait.
"Just come with me." Dr. Kelley told them as she walked down the corridor.
They got to a large consulting room with a few chairs and a desk in the corner. The redhead doctor took her seat and picked up a sealed brown envelope. She typed something into her computer and turned to face the small group of people. Ted held his daughter's hand as she tensed up again. Phoebe gave Garrett a reassuring look, while John patted Tommy's shoulder.
"Ok, so these are the DNA results." Dr. Kelley said.
"How accurate are they?" Tommy asked her.
"As close to perfect as we can get." The doctor replied.
"Can we have the results?" Garrett asked.
"Sure." Dr. Kelley nodded and used a metal device to tear the envelope open.
She took out a sheet of white paper and read what was typed on it. She nodded a little and typed something else into her computer. The six people waited anxiously for the results. The redhead placed the paper down in front of her and looked up at them.
"There was DNA extracted from the baby and from the two prospective fathers. This piece of paper tells me, that sample A from Garrett Runnels was an almost complete match, while sample B from Tommy Cena was not a match. The test reveals conclusively that Garrett Runnels is the father of the unborn baby." Dr Kelley revealed.
"Could you say that again?" Rosalyn asked.
"Garrett is the father, Tommy was not a match." The doctor replied.
"It's Garrett's baby." Phoebe smiled as happy tears sprang to Rosalyn's eyes.
"I love you so much." Garrett whispered as he wrapped the blonde in an embrace.
"I love you too." She sobbed.
"Thanks goodness." Phoebe sighed.
"I'm relieved." Ted nodded.
"Let's go. John said to his son.
"I think I had a lucky escape. Being tied down with a girl and a kid…" Tommy mumbled as he followed his dad out of the door.
