Thank you for all of the reviews! This chapter is a little shorter then previous but it is really a filler for the drama filled chapters to come!
Disclaimer: I won nothing but my OC's and ideas!
"Hello Carol? This is Elle." There was a short pause before she answered.
"Hi Elle honey, how are you doing?" John's mom was so sweet, we only met once but she told me multiple times that she likes me a lot more than she ever liked Liz.
"I'm okay, but John is actually getting prepped for surgery. They found out he needed elbow surgery yesterday and we flew out to L.A. Unfortunately with all of the chaos John forgot to call you and John Sr., so I told him I would do it when I left him."
"Oh my, gosh, is he going to be alright, should I fly over there?"
"The procedure should only take three hours the most so flying from Massachusetts to California would be a waste. He only needs to stay in the hospital overnight and then we are flying back tomorrow night where John will start his first therapy session. Hopefully everything goes as planned and he will be almost healed on his six week mark, but you never know." I hated telling her this. Her baby was going in for surgery and she wasn't there for it. My mother would have been already at the airport and getting down here, but Carol respects her son's wishes.
"Well thank you for telling me Elle, make sure you call me once he is out of surgery and give me updates. Thank you for taking care of my baby boy."
"It's no problem at all. I'll talk to you soon." When I hung up I sat down in the waiting area. When the doctor told us yesterday that he needed the surgery I could see John's stomach dropped. It is totally up in the air if he will ever make it back to the company and if he does we don't know what physical shape he will be in. Six weeks is the earliest he can go back and that's even if he is cleared by then.
The sound in Vince McMahons voice when I told him that the face of the company had to have emergency elbow surgery, I sounded like he just found out someone he loved died. I know creative got thrown a curve ball. They aren't going to keep the surgery a secret but they had no clue who Phil would be facing off with especially if John can't be at Hell in a Cell.
It sucks that I am out here by myself. My family and friends asked if I wanted them to come out here to stay with me but I figured because it was only for a few days that it would be unnecessary. I am feeling kind of lonely though. What the hell am I going to do for three hours?
I can always write but my mind just isn't in it right now. I am too worried about John. I seriously cannot believe that all of this is happening right now.
I got pulled out of my thoughts when John's cell phone rang. When I looked at the caller I.D., I saw it was Liz. I so desperately wanted to hit ignore but I figured she should know considering John was talking about going to her ultrasound appointment next week.
"Hello?" I said after taking a deep breath.
"Who is this?" I rolled my eyes at her annoying voice.
"It's Elle Liz."
"Where the hell is John, why are you answering his phone?" I just wanted to punch her in the face. They were almost divorced she doesn't need to know all of this anymore.
"John is in surgery, he is having elbow surgery."
"What? Is he okay, what hospital, I am on my way." I gave a small laugh and shook my head.
"We are in L.A.; it's not safe to fly when you are pregnant. Everything is going to be fine he is coming home tomorrow and he will be at the appointment this Friday."
"I am his wife, I should be there!"
"Give it a rest Liz; you are getting a divorce he doesn't want to be with you anymore. The only reason he still talks to you is because you claim you are having his baby!" People were starting to stare at me so I went into the bathroom and locked the door behind me.
"Who the fuck, do you think you are? You are just the rebound girl, I am carrying his child. When we do have this baby you will be out of the equation and I will be right back in. So you better watch out."
"Is that a threat?" She laughed on the other line.
"It's a promise Elle." With that was a dial tone. That bitch doesn't have a right to threaten me. I am here by John's side while she is there pretending to be carrying John's child. I have always hated Liz, now I despise her. She doesn't have the balls to do something to me, does she?
Three coffees and two teas' later John was now in recovery and the doctor should be out to talk to me soon. I just want everything to be alright. I have a feeling John is going to be in a horrible mood for the next six weeks. Wrestling is his life so when his life basically stops for six weeks, that's something, I am not looking forward to.
"Elle Jahnsen?" I shot up from the couch and walked over to the doctor.
"Is John okay? How did the surgery go?" He gave a small smile and pointed to a back room.
"Let's discuss this privately shall we?" I nodded and followed him back into the room and sat at the table. "John's surgery went really well. I removed ninety five percent of all of the fragments and there should be minimal scarring. The bruising and swelling should last for about two weeks, especially since he will be forgoing physical therapy every day. It's not going to be easy; he is going to be in a lot of pain and very agitated. Is there someone who will be helping him out in this time?"
"I will be." I said as he looked down into his files and scribbled something.
"Alright and what are your travel plans?"
"Well tomorrow we are flying back to Massachusetts and he will start his therapy the following day. This physical therapist is supposedly the best in the business. Do you think John can fully recover from this?" The doctor looked up and shrugged his shoulders.
"Only time will tell Ms. Jahnsen. John will need to ice it for an hour after physical therapy each day and a half an hour on and off throughout the rest of the day. I want to schedule a follow up appointment for three weeks. Since John said that he doesn't want to take any prescripted pain medication I suggest when he is in total agony to take four Ibuprophen. Also when you two leave tomorrow make sure you get my card from the desk and call to make an appointment."
"Thank you so much Doctor." He nodded and we both stood up from the table.
"You're welcome. Oh and Ms. Jahnsen, there is footage of the surgery since I used a scope. We will also be sending that home with him. John should be out of recovery within the hour, when he wakes he will be groggy so go easy on him." When the doctor left I called up his family, my family, and the company, I had so much work to do in so little time.
I was seriously going to need to be committed to helping John get better and be prepared for the complaining and whining I'm sure he will do. He wouldn't be John Cena if he didn't.
What did you think? I hope you liked it and the next chapter will contain John and Elle going home with a little surprise waiting inside. Oh and REVIEW please!
