Ch. 26
As Kaylyn watched the trainer wrap her ribs and warn her that she should take a trip to the hospital she glared at John who was sitting in the corner of the room. She wasn't sure how she was going to handle him but she was sure that she was going to go off soon. She wasn't sure what made her madder the fact that he called her his fiancée or the fact that he wouldn't let her walk up the ramp to the back. As the trainer finished and turned to leave the two of them alone Stephanie walked into the room.
"Steph could you give us a minute?" Kaylyn asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Nope because I know what you are about to do and I just happen to think you're wrong. When did you two become engaged?" Stephanie asked turning towards John.
"We didn't." Kaylyn answered instead. "We aren't even really dating."
"Then why did John say you were his fiancée?" Stephanie asked staring at her younger cousin.
"I don't know, I didn't even realize he had said it until after he started carrying me up the ramp or I would have said something down there." Kaylyn said as she threw another glare at John who was smiling in the corner.
"Hey just because you keep trying to deny there is something between us doesn't mean I am going to just let you." John said suddenly.
"What are you talking about?" Kaylyn asked confused.
"I am tried of pretending like we don't care about each other. The way I figure it we might as well just get married and get it over with because we belong together." John said with a sigh.
"I think you have lost your mind." Kaylyn said simply.
"I think he is right on track. We could do the wedding out in the ring and write it into your script. Of course you two would be married in real life as well as on screen but I think it would be perfect. I can even make sure that no one interferes because we are going to make this look perfect. We should go shopping for your dress immediately." Stephanie said getting excited.
"Wait a minute don't I get a say in something that has to do with my life?" Kaylyn asked starting to panic.
"Kay you would get a say if you would actually think about it and consider it like you should but you won't. Let's face it, you hate being wrong and you hate giving in to something that you know you need to give in to." Stephanie said with a sigh. "John loves you and we both know you love him."
"It doesn't seem fair that something as serious as marriage I get no say in." Kaylyn grumbled angrily.
The training room door flew open and before the three of them could react Stephanie went flying across the room and slammed into the far wall. She was unconscious and bleeding. Kaylyn glanced in shock at the person standing there and jumped off the table, clutching her ribs ready to attack before more people entered the room and she felt steel meeting her skull. She wasn't sure what happened after that because everything happened so fast but she did see John going nuts before she collapsed and gave in to the darkness.
Kaylyn opened her eyes and groaned as someone flashed a flashlight in them to check her eyes. She raised her arm and pushed the light away before attempting to turn her head away only to feel intense pain and decided that was a bad route as well. When she finally focused she noticed the sterile white room and knew where she was once again.
"This is getting old." She muttered attempting to sit up only to have a hand appear on her shoulder. She glanced over and saw John standing there with a slightly pale face. "I want to sit up."
"I don't know if that's such a good idea." John said shaking his head.
"I know that if you don't help me sit up then I am going to smack you." Kaylyn muttered.
"Oh yeah she is feeling better." Came the chuckle from the wall.
Kaylyn turned her head and noticed her cousin Shane leaning against the wall with an arched eyebrow on his face. She felt like trying to get up and smacking him when she remembered what happened in the trainer's room and she bit her bottom lip worriedly.
"How's Steph?" She asked instead.
"She's all right. Paul is with her and you should see how pissed he is. I would hate to be the people who went into that room. Next week it's going to be Triple H, Shawn Michaels and John Cena versus those bozos." Shane said angrily.
"Kay, Paul wants you to stay with Stephanie when you are both released so we can be sure that someone is able to stay alert and keep her safe. Since you are going to be on leave from wrestling we figured this way you wouldn't go nuts." John said evenly.
"Fine but don't think this gets you off the hook for the whole fiancée thing. There isn't going to be a wedding on screen or off screen." Kaylyn said with a smug look on her face. She was actually quite proud of herself that she had brought that up when he least expected it and that she had shocked him. She could tell her was trying to think of something to say but was nowhere.
It had been a week since Stephanie and Kaylyn had been released from the hospital and as much as they wanted to know what was going on with the match on RAW they weren't watching. Kaylyn looked over when she heard Aurora cry and noticed she was getting mad because she couldn't reach her bottle. She chuckled as she handed the bottle to the little girl.
"Kay I have one thing to say to you." Stephanie said evenly. "Next week you are going to do everything I say and you won't deviate from it or there will be no chance at you getting that belt."
"What do you mean?" Kaylyn asked already knowing where this was going.
"You and John are going to get married Kaylyn, only on screen. I would never actually force you to marry someone in real life, that's not my place. However maybe playing his on screen wife might give you some ideas." Stephanie said with a smile.
John was rubbing the back of his sore neck as he made his way to his rental car. He had gotten word about next weeks on screen wedding and despite being happy about it he was worried about how Kay was going to take it. He frowned when he heard a slight sound behind him. He turned and then laughed at himself, knowing he was being slightly paranoid. Then out of nowhere he felt the smack of metal against the side of his head and then he knew no more.
