*~The Next Day~*

'Dirrty' blasted through the arena speakers. The WWE was in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for a house show. "The following contest is a bra and panties match. First, approaching the ring, from Manhattan, New York, Ryan Morgan." Howard Finkel announced as Ryan headed towards the ring. She slid into the ring and taunted the crowd as her music stopped and 'Legs' hit. "And making her way to the ring, from Baltimore, Maryland, Stacy Kiebler." He announced as Stacy climbed into the ring. Stacy and Ryan stared each other down as the opening bell was rung.

Stacy and Ryan immediately leapt at each other and began scratching and pulling each others hair. Stacy pushed Ryan down, got on top of her, and began banging her head against the mat. Stacy managed to rip Ryan's hot pink baby-tee off, exposing a red bra. Ryan flipped her over and began to bang Stacy's head against the mat. Ryan pulled her up by her hair and began giving her chops to the chest. Ryan pulled Stacy's baby blue shirt off, exposing her baby blue bra. Ryan went to German suplex Stacy, but she countered with one of her own. Ryan landed on the back of her neck and pain shot down her spine. She yelped and grabbed her neck. She looked up at Referee, Mike Chioda, who had a concerned look on his face. 'Are you ok?' he mouthed and she nodded. Stacy picked her up by her hair and threw her into the ropes and clotheslined her once she bounced back. Ryan shook her left arm that was beginning to lose feeling. *Fuck* she thought to herself. Stacy whipped Ryan into the turnbuckles. "My left arm's going numb, Stace." She whispered as Stacy leaned in to whip her into the opposite corner. Ryan ran at her and gave her a drop kick. She whimpered as she fell to the mat on her back.

"Can you roll me up and pull my shorts off?" Stacy whispered into the mat only loud enough for Ryan to hear. Ryan nodded as they both began to get back to their feet. Ryan quickly rolled Stacy up and pulled her shorts off. Mike Chioda signaled for the bell and quickly went to check on Ryan.

"What's going on? Is she hurt?" He could hear Jim Ross ask frantically through his headset.

"Ryan, what's wrong?" He asked as she leaned on him for aid in standing.

"I landed on the back of my neck when Stacy suplexed me. I lost the feeling a little bit in my left arm." She answered as he signaled to the EMT's that she was hurt.

"Do you need the EMT's to come out here?" He asked.

"No." She said as they began to climb out of the ring.

"Ryan, Ryan are you ok?" Stacy asked as they walked to the back. She had been waiting to see what was wrong with her friend. Amy was there too.

"What happened chica?" She asked as the EMT's quickly surrounded Ryan.

"What happened?" The head EMT asked.

"I landed on the back of my neck when Stacy suplexed me." She said holding her neck. "And my left arm lost a little bit of feeling."

"That's not good." The head EMT said as another handed him a soft neck brace. "You need to put this on." He instructed as another EMT gently positioned her neck properly and he put it on.

"What the hell is going on?" Vince McMahon yelled as he, J.R., and Jeff made there way through the crowd of EMT's and Superstars that surrounded Ryan.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Jeff asked going to her side immediately.

"She needs to get to a hospital right away and get her neck x-rayed." The EMT said, explaining the situation to Vince and J.R. Vince nodded his head.

"Jeff can I trust you to get her there?" He asked and Jeff nodded his head.

"Yea," Jeff answered. "Amy, get Ryan's stuff together and bring it back to the hotel and tell Matt to get my stuff please." Jeff said and Amy nodded her head.

"Jay, yours and Jeff's match tonight is cancelled." Vince said as Jeff and Ryan headed towards the parking garage.

*~At The Hospital~*

It was about an hour later and Ryan and Jeff were waiting for the doctor to come in with her x-rays. Jeff gave Ryan's hand a reassuring squeeze as there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Jeff said as the door opened and Shane McMahon walked in.

"How are you Ryan?" He asked.

"I could be better." She said nervously.

"Everything's gonna be ok." Jeff said gently rubbing her back as the doctor came in with the x-rays. He put them up on the x-ray viewer (A/N: You know that light thing that they view x-rays on, I have no clue what it's called.).

"You have a small crack in your C6 vertebra, it needs to be fused." He stated pointing out the small crack on the x-ray. "I suggest you get it done ASAP."

"Are you sure?" Shane asked.

"I'm sorry to say it but I'm positive." He said handing Ryan a hard collar neck brace. "You'll need to wear this twenty-four seven, until you get it done. I'll leave these out in the lobby with the receptionist, Mr. McMahon."

"Thank you Dr. Manning." Shane said as the doctor left. Ryan sniffled a little bit as tears began streaming down her face.

"It's ok baby." Jeff said wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm really sorry Ryan." Shane said. "My dad told me to tell you that if you needed the surgery, he's gonna have the two of you fly down to Texas to see Dr. Youngblood and get his opinion."

*~The Next Day: Dr. Youngblood's Office~*

"Ryan, I'm gonna give it to you straight. Dr. Manning was right, there is a small crack in your C6 vertebra and it does need to be fused." Dr. Youngblood said. "I suggest that it's done immediately. I can schedule you for surgery on Saturday."

"Ok." Ryan said softly.

"I'm going to call Vince and let him know what's going on."

"Thank you." Ryan said as he left to phone Vince. She let out a shaky breath as Jeff pulled her into his warm embrace.

"It's ok sweetie." He soothed. She pushed away from him.

"No it's not Jeff! My neck is fucking broken, that makes it definitely NOT ok!" She yelled. Jeff ran a hand through his hair.

"I know baby, but it's not the end of the world. You're going to come back from this. Amy did, Chris did, Scotty did, and Adam and Bob are recovering great." Jeff tried to reason.

"Just shut it Jeff. You don't know what the hell I'm going through right now! Just because they came back doesn't mean I am going to too!" She yelled standing up. "Just leave me the hell alone Jeff!!" She said heading towards the door.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" Jeff yelled stopping Ryan in her tracks. He had never yelled at her like that before and she knew he was serious. She slowly turned around and saw an almost hurt expression on his face. "I know that I can't even fathom what you're going through right now, but I refuse to let you fucking shut me out. I love you, and I know you love me too." Ryan bit her bottom lip trying to keep herself from crying. Jeff walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. "Ryan, I love you more than anything in this world and when I say that I mean it. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." He whispered as she began to cry softly. "Ryan, can I ask you something?"

"Sure" Ryan said as he gently wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Where are you going to stay after your surgery?"

"I don't know...I've been so caught up in this that I haven't thought about it yet." She answered truthfully.

"Will you stay in North Carolina? I mean I totally understand if you want to stay in New York because your family is there and I know you probably want to stay with them." Ryan gave him a small smile.

"I would love to stay at your house."

"Well, there's one problem with that." Jeff said and she gave him a confused look.

"Huh? You just asked me to stay there."

"I know but if you do, I want it to be our house, not my house." He said kissing the top of her head.

"I don't think I have a problem with that." She said as there was a knock at the door and Jeff called for them to come in.

"Hey guys...I guess you're gonna have surgery." Amy said as she walked into the room.

"Yea." Ryan answered.

"I decided to stop going on the road with Matt all the time, keep you company and stuff."

"No Amy, don't do that, not because of me. I'll be fine. I've got Crystal and Gil and Liger and Witty to keep me company." Ryan protested.

"Yea, well the doctor also told me I shouldn't go on the road with him as much since I'm getting a little farther along in my pregnancy." She said resting a hand on her stomach. "I mean I'm gonna go for maybe a day or two for a little while, but I know what its like to be stuck at home with no one and I want to be there for my best friend."

"Oh, it's ok with me then." Ryan said giving Amy a small smile. The door opened and Dr. Youngblood walked in with some paper work.

"I talked with Vince, and he wants to talk to you, Jeff, about giving you some time off." He said and Jeff nodded. "Ryan, you need to be careful especially when you sleep and try to keep your neck movement limited to pretty much none. You also need to keep the neck brace on at all times and it's waterproof so you don't have to worry about covering it up when you shower. I'm going to call you tomorrow to check on you and if you need anything or anything happens, call me right away."

"Ok, thanks, I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow." She said as they left his office.
