A month later John was home and working with Matt again too able to wrestle again. After the minor stroke, he stayed in the hospital for a few days and then was allowed to go home. A few weeks later, he was cleared to work with Matt again. Mallory still hoped he would be able to wrestle again but it was going to take longer than originally planned. While Matt and John were working out in one of the therapy room Mallory was talking to Jennie in the office near it. She could see inside the therapy room at all times.

"Okay, what's up with you Mal?" Jennie asked her friend. She had noticed Mallory was tired more and had gotten sick a few times.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Mallory replied as she looked over some files.

"You have been tired and sick. Are you pregnant?"

"What? No, I'm on the pill." She replied with a scoff.

"That isn't one hundred percent effective you know."

"I know that but I'm not pregnant."

"Really? Well you and I are on the same cycle so to speak and you're not bitching. Are you late?"

"Oh my god, I'm not sure." Mallory said getting her calendar. She counted the days and realized that she was late. "I'm only a few days late. With the stress of things, I'm sure it's nothing."

"I think you should do a pregnant test."

"I can't go get one here. Everyone will talk."

"Fine. I will go get you one and let everyone talk about me. I don't care." Jennie laughed and headed out.

Mallory looked at the calendar again. It was just stress. She couldn't be pregnant. She thought back to the times when she and John were together. She had taken the pill every day.

"Okay, Mal, here you go." Jennie said walking in with a pregnancy test. "So, let's go see if you are expecting a little one."

"Jen." Mallory said walking to the nearby bathroom. Once she was there, she took the pregnancy test. She walked back into the office with the test.

"Well, are you expecting?" Jennie said with a smile.

"I don't know. You read it." She said handing it to her.

"Alright." Jennie said looking at the test. "Well, congratulations, you're pregnant."

"I'm pregnant? How did this happen?" Mallory said sitting down.

"Mal, I would think you know that." Jennie laughed. "With how much sex you have been having lately, it was just a matter of time."

"But I'm on the pill."

"Mal let me see your pack." Jennie said holding out her hand. Mallory handed over the pack to her. "It looks like you missed a day."

"But we use condoms too. There is no way I'm pregnant."

"Do you use them all the time? There isn't one time where you didn't?"

Mallory thought to the times she and John were together. They used something each time. It was then that she remembered the day his parents came to visit.

"Oh, the kitchen table."

"You did it on the kitchen table. That is awesome, Mal." Jennie laughed.

"Thanks Jen but let's focus. I can't believe I was so caught up in the moment that I would forget something like that."

"I'm guessing this was the time you weren't on top. Because if you were, you would have remembered."

"Yeah. This is so unexpected. What am I going to do?"

"You tell John that you're expecting and then you and he deal with it."

"Yeah because this won't add more stress to things. We're not married yet and I'm pregnant. His parents are going to be crazy. He is working hard to get back in the ring. We decided to wait on this."

"Mal, these things happen. You just have to deal with it. Just talk to him and you guys can decide what you want to do. If you don't want to have, you don't have too."

"I don't know. But first thing I need to do is tell John."

"Yes, you do. Now, I'm off to talk to Kinley. Good luck."

"Jen, do not tell everyone I'm pregnant."

"Don't worry." Jennie quickly left leaving Mallory there.

Mallory looked out at Matt and John working out in the other room. This was definitely going to add stress to this. She sighed and headed out into the room.

"I think you guys have worked out enough. Let's call it a day and you can work out more tomorrow and for longer." She said to them.

"That's sounds great." John replied.

After they left the hospital, Matt headed to see some friends who lived in the area. Mallory knew this was the time to tell John about the baby.

"So, what's going on?" John asked her when they got home. She had been quiet on the whole ride home.

"I found out some news today and I'm not sure how you will react."

"What kind of news?" He asked sitting down on the sofa.

"I'm pregnant." She said just blurting it out.

"Sorry? Did you just say you're pregnant?"

"Yes, I'm pregnant."

"But we were careful."

"Almost every time."

"Almost every time? But you said you were on birth control."

"I am but I must have a missed a day then there was that one time we didn't use protection."

"When was that?"

"The kitchen table before your parents came to visit."

"Oh yeah." He laughed. "So, what do you want to do?"

"I thought we would make that decision together. It is our baby."

"I know we weren't expecting this but I don't want you to have an abortion."

"I wasn't planning too. This was unexpected yes but I think we can handle it. If you want but know I'm not going to make you do anything. If you don't want to do this, that's okay. I know you're still recovering and you want to get back in the ring. So, if you were prefer not to do the dad thing, its okay. I understand."

"Wow, that's very understanding of you but I'm in this. I'm not going to leave and make you have this baby alone. I love you and I want a life with you. That includes this little baby too. Yes, it adds stress to things but like you said we can handle this. Beside we have what nine months before the baby comes."

"About eight really but yeah. John, you're sure about this right? Because your parents are not going to be happy. We just really got engaged."

"I know but they will have to get use things. About the wedding, I was thinking we should just elope. We can go to city hall and get married."

"You want to forget the wedding with family and just elope?"

"Yes, are you okay with that?"

"Surprisingly, I am. Let's do it. We can go whenever and get married."

"Great, let's do it." He said hugging her.

"So, we're having a baby and we're getting married."

"Yeah." He smiled. He was excited about both but nervous too.

With everything he had been through and what he was still going through, could he be a good dad? He knew they had months before the baby was born and hopefully by then he would be back to wrestling. But he knew there were no guarantees. If he couldn't wrestle again, could he take care of Mallory and the baby? That was his concern now. He knew he could take care of Mallory if he couldn't wrestle but could he take care of a baby?
