A month passed since Taylor was discharged from the hospital, and slowly she was beginning to feel better. She also kept her word to her doctor. She didn't travel anymore with Matt, and if she needed anything that was heavy lifted, she asked Jeff, Beth or Matt.
It was now a few days before Jeff's birthday, and both Jeff and Matt were expected home late that night. Beth and Taylor were going all around the house hanging up decorations for Jeff.
"Do you think Jeff will like all of this?" Beth asked as she blew up some balloons.
"Oh I think so. It's his birthday today, and since you guys couldn't be together, it's a nice gesture to show that you care," Taylor replied.
Just then, Maddy came toddling into the living room. "Mommy is Dora on?"
"I don't know sweetie, let's look," she told her daughter as she grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels. "Sorry, Maddy she's not on yet. How about one of your Dora movies?"
Maddy nodded as she got comfortable on the couch. After getting Maddy, situated, Taylor went back to blowing up balloons. Before she could get one in her mouth to blow up, her cell phone rang.
"Who is it?" Beth asked.
"It's Matt," she replied. "Hey babe."
"Hey," he said jovily. "What's going on around the house?"
"Well, Maddy is watching Dora and Beth and I are blowing up some balloons and putting up decorations for Jeff's 31st birthday. What are you guys doing?"
"Jeff's in the ring right now training, and my turn is soon. So, I had some time to spare so I thought I would call my beautiful wife."
"Awe, your sweet!"
Matt chuckled. "How are you and the baby doing?"
"Oh decent I guess. And before you ask, I've been following all the rules and not lifting anything heavy."
"Good. Is Maddy around? Can I talk to her?"
Taylor walked around the room and glanced at her daughter, who was fast asleep on the couch. "Matt, she actually fell asleep. How about I call you later, and I'll let you talk to her then."
"Alright sounds good. Hey, I just got told my turn to train is soon, so I better let you go. Love you, baby."
Taylor smiled. "I love you too Matt. Bye."
"Bye."
Taylor sighed as she hung up the phone, and Beth gave her a curious look. "What's the matter?" she asked.
"Oh I don't know. Since I haven't been able to travel with Matt, I think I miss him more. I would love it if he was home more."
Beth nodded. "I can totally agree. I wish Jeff was home more too. But, you have 2 months left in your pregnancy, and you know that Matt is going to cut down his traveling schedule so he can be home more with you."
"I know, and I'm personally thankful for that," Taylor replied as she went back into the kitchen to grab more decorations. As she was about to start blowing up a balloon, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and grabbed her belly.
Just then, Beth walked into the kitchen and saw the position her sister was in. "Taylor, are you ok?" she asked as she sprinted closer to her sister.
"I-I don't know. I was about to blow up another balloon and I felt a sharp pain."
"Maybe you need to sit down for a second," Beth suggested as she pulled out a chair, and Taylor happily took it. Taylor then took a deep breath, and after a minute she felt better.
"How are you feeling?"
"A little better. To be on the safe side, would you please call Gil or someone to come over...just in case I do need to go to the hospital."
"Good idea," Beth agreed as she grabbed her cell phone. After unsuccessfully trying Gil, Beth got a hold of Shannon's wife Julie, who agreed to come right over.
"Taylor, Julie will be here in just a second," Beth said as she walked back closer to her sister.
"Ok, Thanks Beth," she replied as her eyes suddenly widened.
"What? What is it?" Beth asked.
Taylor looked down and could see blood starting to soak her jeans. "Ummm...I'm starting to bleed again. We definitely need to get to the hospital."
Just then, Julie arrived and literally pushed Beth and Taylor out the door when she saw the blood. Beth drove as fast as she could, and got to the hospital within minutes. While waiting, Beth tried to call Matt and Jeff both, but grew aggravated when neither answered. She then tried Matt once more, and again she got his voice mail. This time she left a message, and took a deep breath as soon as she heard the beep signaling her to start the message.
"Matt, it's Beth. About a half hour ago, Taylor and I were hanging up decorations for Jeff, and she got a sharp pain. I asked Julie to come over to sit with Maddy...just in case we needed to get to the hospital. Well, when I walked back over to her, she was in more pain and started bleeding again. We are in the hospital now and I'm waiting to hear from her doctor. Call me back ASAP."
As Beth was flipping her phone closed, Taylor's doctor walked toward her. He had a worried look on his face. "Dr. Moore, what's going on with my sister? Is she ok?"
"We did an ultrasound, and saw instantly the placenta was starting to tear further away from the uterus. We aren't going to waste anytime-we need to do a c-section and deliver the baby."
"Oh no," Beth exclaimed. "Matt isn't even here yet. Can we wait until he gets here?"
"If we wait, it might be too late," Dr. Moore said as Beth's face fell. "She's being prepped now, and you may be with her in the room."
Beth instantly nodded. "Ok, let me try him one more time and I will be right there."
Instead of calling Matt, Beth called Julie. "Beth, how's Taylor?" she asked.
"Taylor is being prepped for a c-section. I guess the placenta was tearing further away from the uterus, and they can't do anything more but deliver the baby. I need you to me a favor."
"Sure, anything," Julie said.
"I couldn't get a hold of either Matt or Jeff, and I'm going to be with Taylor in the delivery room. Can you please keep calling either of them until someone answers?"
"Absolutely. I'll try right now. You go be with Taylor."
"Thanks," Beth said as she hung up and ran toward the room Taylor was in. After slipping into scrubs, she sat in a chair next to her sister.
"God, I hope it isn't too late," Taylor sobbed.
"Shhh...everything will be just fine. Julie is going to keep calling Matt and Jeff until she gets a hold of either of them. There is one upside to this."
"What's that?" Taylor asked.
"Jeff and his niece are going to share the same birthday. You can remind him that is his birthday gift for the rest of his life," Beth said as Taylor giggled.
"Nurse, I need a baby warmer now!!!" Dr. Moore screamed.
Taylor's eyes widened. "What's going on Beth?"
She looked over the curtain, and saw a purplish colored baby being set into the baby warmer and hurried out of the room. She probably already lost some oxygen. Dr. Moore then came over to speak to Taylor and Beth.
"It looked like the baby had begun to lose oxygen. She is being brought to the Neo-Natal ICU for further tests. We will know more when we get those results. You are going to be cleaned up and brought to your room."
"Can I at least see her?" Taylor asked with tears in her eyes.
"Not right away. I don't want you to sit up for awhile due to the stitches from the c-section. We will try maybe later on today or hopefully tomorrow."
Taylor only nodded as she began to sob as Beth wrapped her into a hug. Meanwhile, Julie was having no luck getting a hold of the guys. Finally, after what seemed like the millionth time, she was finally able to get a hold of Matt.
"Hey Julie, what's up?" he asked.
"Where the hell have you been?"
Matt was a bit surprised. He had never heard Julie cuss before. "I was in the ring training, and had a quick interview. What's going on?"
"Taylor's in the hospital."
"What? Why? When?" Matt asked.
"First, I guess she was having sharp pains, and then began to bleed again. Beth called me like 2 hours ago to watch Maddy while they went to the hospital. She was being prepped for a c-section as I spoke to Beth."
"Oh my God," Matt exclaimed as he got dressed into his regular street clothes. "Do me a favor? Call Beth and tell her that I'm on my way. I need to go talk to the GM and tell him what's going on."
Even though he couldn't see it, Julie nodded in agreement. "Ok I will. Hurry!"
"I will," Matt said as he hung up the phone. He then finished getting dressed and literally ran out of the locker room. "Please God, don't let it be too late," he whispered. "Please let Taylor and Raine be ok."
