Chapter 51
"Does it hurt?" Nikki asked Kate as she laid on the hospital bed in the ER with Ice on her face.
"No it doesn't hurt at all you dumb ass." Kate snapped then she looked over at her friend. "Sorry Nikki ... it's just I can't believe those to ass wholes. Fighting in the street like two should have known better and Dean when did he start drinking so damn much."
"Kate ... Dean's been drinking a lot these last few months he's been put on probation."
"What?" Kate said sitting up on the bed.
"Opps you didn't know ... well he got totally shit faced one night and he got into a bar fight with some random guy I don't know what about anyway he ended up in bed with Paige that night."
"What?" Kate repeated.
"You really didn't know any of this? Anyway Stephanie and Vince found out and were pissed Stephanie was going to fire him right there but Vince is giving him another chance ... but if Randy or John talk to them about tonight he might get fired."
"Damn it ... what is going on with him."
"I don't know but I can tell you it all started when he came back after Gabe was born. I know that's not your fault but I am just saying that's when we all noticed the difference and he's pissy all the time no one can talk to him. He's become reckless in and out side of the ring. John's tried to talk to him about it but Dean says it's none of his business."
"I can't believe this Vince really put him on probation."
"Yeah I don't think it helped that he came to work drunk a few times." Nikki told her.
"Oh my god ... I just ..." Kate said as she laid back down and put the ice on her face.
When the Doctor came back in.
"Good news Mrs. Orton you're nose isn't broken but it will be sore for a few days. I am going to give you a shot for the pain." He told her.
"I want to see Kate Orton! Where the hell is my wife!" They heard Randy's voice from the waiting area.
"Nikki can you go deal with that?" Kate asked.
"Do you want to see him?"
"Yeah ... just give me a few minutes." Kate said.
The Doctor helped Kate sit up.
"This is going to hurt like hell for a few moments there's nothing I can do about that." He smiled.
Kate smiled at the young male Doctor.
"Are you even old enough to be a doctor?" Kate asked.
"We are the same age Mrs. Orton." He told her.
"Really and it's just Kate. Call me Kate. Dr. Thompson."
"Call me Garrett." He told her. "So I have to ask what the hell happened? This is a nasty bruise!"
"What? Oh this ... got into a bar fight. You should see the other guy." Kate laughed. "Owe... it hurts to laugh."
"Yeah it will for a few days and I know it wasn't a bar fight?"
"Well Garrett let's just say that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
He just nodded as he held the back of her head and slowly gave her the shot near the nose.
"Owe...ahhhaa." Kate said in pain as both hands held tight to the bed she was sitting on.
"I know ... I know." Dr. Thompson soothed. "There done! It will be sore for a few days and I'm sorry that you'll have to deal with some bruising as well around the bridge of your nose and that nasty black eye." He told her as he slowly cleaned the blood from Kate's face before putting on the nose cast.
"Don't you just look adorable." He commented handing her the mirror.
"WOW I give a whole new meaning to the phrase one hot mess." Kate said.
"I am going to write you prescription for some pain medication take it when you need it."
"Umm I'm breastfeeding ... will that effect anything?"
"It shouldn't be just pump before you take one to be safe. So you have a kid?" Dr. Thompson said.
"Four actually."
"You no way?"
"Yeah 2 girls and 2 boys." Kate beamed.
"Well they are lucky to have a mom like you." He told her. "I am going to get your discharge papers and then you are free to go."
"Kate Lynn! Kate are you in there. Nikki I want to see my wife!" Randy said outside of the door.
"Kate? Do you want to see him?" Nikki said poking her head in.
"Yeah."
"Kate are you sure?" Dr. Thompson asked her with concern.
"Yes it's fine. Just get those discharge papers ready and I can get out of your hair." Kate smiled.
"Oh Kate Lynn ... Sweet Heart I am so sorry." Randy said going right up to her as kissed her softly.
Kate winced in pain.
"Sorry. I am so sorry." He told her once again.
"You should be fighting in the street like an animal. Yet some how I am the one who ended up in here."
"I don't know what else to say except I am so sorry. Oh baby look at your dress." Randy said.
Kate looked down and saw the blood stains on her white dress as she held in her tears.
"Yeah well I guess that's what happens when your husband decides to start tossing punches."
"Damn it Kate Lynn he started it."
"Yeah and you just had to help him out with it. Throwing it in his face that you are legally Logan's dad and implied that I never cared about him. No wonder the man went after you."
"What are you saying Kate?" Randy asked.
"Nothing I am tired and I am sore and I just want to get back to the room and sleep."
"Ok Kate I got your prescription and your discharges papers."
"Thank you." Kate said.
"Hey Randy Orton." Randy told the Doctor.
"Yeah I know. Kate just remember to take it easy. The swelling should go down with in 48 hours and just remember to ice."
"Thank You." Kate said as she signed her discharge papers.
"No problem." He told her.
Randy took off his suit jacket and put it around Kate as they headed out of the hospital.
"You look awesome Kate." John said as they headed to the car.
"I know I am rocking this look." Kate said.
When they got back to hotel the kids were all fast asleep. Kate thanked Brie and Bryan then she went and changed her clothes. Then she checked in and kissed all the kids good night before laying down.
"Kate?" Randy said softly Kate didn't want to talk or fight so she just pretend to be asleep.
The next morning Kate woke up and stared at herself in the mirror.
"Well Kate Orton you are looking like a hot mess." She told herself.
The kids were still sleeping soundly so Kate headed down the hall and banged on the door.
"Kate?" Roman said answering the door. "Are you ok?"
"Just fine. He is in there?"
Roman nodded "He finally passed out about 5 this morning after I convinced him not to go to the hospital. That man loves you Kate."
"Yeah well he's got a funny way of showing it. Can you give me a few minutes with him?"
"Sure I was heading to work out anyway." Roman said as he left the room.
Kate walked in and couldn't help but stare and Dean who was sleeping sprawled out on the bed.
"GET UP!" Kate said.
Dean didn't move.
"I said get up!" Kate said a little louder this time.
Dean just moved a little bit but was still out of it. Kate went into the bath room and got a glass of water and tossed it on him.
"What the fuck! Roman you fucking jack ass! I have a hang over from hell you bastard." Dean yelled.
Kate stood there staring at him with her hands on her hips.
"Oh Katie babe ... I am so sorry." Dean said as he went to her and pulled her into him. "Please say that you forgive me. Are you ok?" He asked with concern as he softly placed his hand on her face.
"I am fine. It's not broken just bruised. But I am not here to talk about me I am here to talk about you."
"What about me?"
"Don't play dumb Dean. Why didn't you tell me that you are on probation."
"I knew Randy would tell you."
"He didn't Nikki did." Kate told him. " Please Dean talk to me what is going on with you?" She ask as they sat on the bed together.
"I ... I just I cant' tell you."
"Why?"
"Because Kate you just wouldn't understand."
"Try me... just tell me Dean!" Kate said.
Dean grabbed her hand softly but just stared into her eyes. He didn't know what to say to her.
