Melissa had called her mom and explained everything and relayed the information to Dave as well. Melissa was driving and they were listening to the radio. Dave turned it down and looked at Melissa, "So how have you been doing?"
Melissa nodded, "Pretty good. I get sick sometimes, but so far I haven't had to leave class to do it, so it's going well. I had to tell the school authorities about everything, which made them call my dad which made us get into a big fight."
"I'm sorry about all of the trouble." Dave started to say, but Melissa interrupted him.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it all out."
Melissa looked at Dave, there was just something incredible sexy about him, and she couldn't figure out what it was. Whenever she looked at him, she found herself turned-on. She could tell that Dave was really thinking about what happened though. Maybe it was finally hitting home for him. "So, have you talked to the girls lately?" She asked hoping to find some sort of conversation.
"Yeah, Aly is getting prepared for her homecoming dance. Jenni is in lots of sports and activities and Nattie is growing very fast." Dave replied.
Melissa smiled, "Homecoming, ours is this upcoming weekend."
"Are you going?" Dave asked.
"Possibly, not 100% for sure yet, but most likely." Melissa replied. "I have my whole outfit, it's just whether or not I have a date that is up in the air."
Dave nodded, "I see."
Soon Melissa and Dave were talking about anything and everything. The time was flying as they chit chatted about the littlest of things to the bigger things. They were both very open and honest with each other, and they were even flirting around.
They arrived at the hospital and started to head up.
Meanwhile.
Brock had been pacing back and forth in the waiting room. He had been going over all of the happenings of the last 24 hours in his mind and couldn't believe all that had happened. Trish was diagnosed with cancer, him and Nicole broke up, Trish had started to talk to Melissa again, he shook his head in disbelief.
Finally Dr. Kennedy walked into the waiting room and headed towards Brock, "Mr. Lesnar?"
Brock looked up, "Hi doc, how is she how did everything go?"
"Why don't we walk down to my office and we'll go over everything." The doctor suggested.
Brock didn't like the sound of that, he walked with the doctor. The doctor pulled out a chair for him to sit down in.
The doctor cleared his throat, "Mr. Lesnar, we ran into some complications while we were in the operating room with Ms. Stratigias."
Brock knew it was something bad because instead of calling him by their first names, he had reverted back to Mr and Ms. "Like what? Did she make it? What happened?" Brock asked concerned.
"When we were in there, we found the beginnings of fibroid tumors and she also had endometriosis. We began the removal process, however we found that she there was a lot more cancer in her uterus then we had originally found, so we had to do a total hysterectomy."
Brock put his head in his hands, he knew that Trish was going to be devastated and the last thing she needed in her life was more bad news.
"While we were closing up, she began to hemorrhage. She lost enough blood to where she could possibly need a transfusion, but we're going to wait to see how she is feeling and where her vitals are at."
"But she'll be ok? Will she need chemo still?" Brock questioned.
"What we've done so far is remove the uterus, both ovaries and both fallopian tubes and we removed the lymph nodes in the pelvis and abdomen. We'll fallow it up with external-beam radiation therapy to the pelvis to kill off any remaining cancer cells." The doctor advised. "But I would prefer for you to not explain this to Trish, I would prefer to be the one to go over all of this."
Brock nodded, "That's understandable, besides, I would probably screw up the explanation. Can I see her?"
"Yes you may, I'll bring you to her room. When she wakes up, I'll come in and sit down and explain everything."
"If she asks, can I tell her that you had to do a hysterectomy?" Brock asked.
"That part you may tell her, but don't go into the details." The doctor reiterated.
They walked to her room and just as they were arriving, Melissa and Dave were walking towards the door. Brock had to do a double-take. "Hey guys."
Dave nodded his head, "Hey Brock."
Melissa smiled, "How is she?"
The doctor looked at Brock, "One at a time, and I don't want her upset or overly excited. Try to keep her as calm as possible."
Brock nodded, "Will do sir, will do."
The doctor walked off and Brock turned to face Melissa and Dave. "I'm going to go in there and see how she's doing, then I'll explain everything."
Brock walked into Trish's room. She was awake and trying to find something on tv, "Hey beautiful!"
Trish turned and smiled weakly, "You're still here? What happened, would the doctor tell you the details? Brock I've got to know."
"Hold on there," Brock said turning the tv off. "I have a lot to go over with you."
Trish sat back and took a deep breath, she could tell that whatever was coming was not going to be good. "I'm ready."
Brock picked up her hand and kissed it, "The doctor ran into somethings that he wasn't completely prepared for, he had to perform a total hysterectomy."
Trish's eyes filled with tears, all of her hopes were washed away. She leaned on Brock and held him. "Why? What happened?"
"Look, the doctor wants to explain it to you because there's more that he didn't tell me, so I told him that I would buzz him when you're ready to hear it. But also, there's one other thing I have to tell you." Brock said holding her tight.
Trish pulled back and looked him in the eyes, "What more could you possibly tell me?"
"Well, Melissa's here." Brock started.
Trish sniffled, "Really? You'll have to send her in here in a little bit because I have to talk to her."
Brock cut her off, "And she brought Dave with."
Trish's jaw dropped. "Dave's here?"
Brock nodded, "Yeah, she brought him with."
"He's the last person I want to see right now, how do I look at him? How do I show him that I'm strong and that I'm fine without him, when I'm not even a whole woman anymore?" Trish cried.
Brock held her, "Don't say that. You are a whole woman, I think that you are a perfect woman."
"But how can I be perfect? I can't even give the gift of life. No one is going to want to be with a woman that can't even give him a child of his own." Trish cried.
Brock looked her in the eyes, "You're perfect to me. Trish, just because you can't have children doesn't mean that no one will ever love you. You have so much more than that, you are a great person and you can always adopt. You can give a healthy, happy home to a child that normally wouldn't have one."
Trish sniffled, "You think I'm perfect?"
Brock blushed, he didn't catch himself saying it. He knew it was true, but he didn't want to scare her into thinking that their whole friendship was just for him to try and get in her pants because that wasn't it at all. He loved her friendship and if that's all they were for the rest of their lives, he was fine with that. He stuttered, "Umm.yeah, yeah I do Trish."
Trish smiled, "I think that you're a great guy too."
"Would you like me to buzz for the doctors so you can get the details?" Brock offered.
"Yeah, that would be good." Trish agreed. She sat there thinking about what Brock just said to her. Did he have feelings for her? Did she have feelings for him? What about Dave? Could she ever trust Dave? She had pondered if her and Dave would ever wind up back together, but she didn't know if she could ever believe him. Could he be faithful?"
"Earth to Trish, are you there?" Brock said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Trish said trying to clear her mind.
"I'm going to let you and the doctor talk, and I'll let them know what I can and I'll send Melissa in after the doctor leaves." Brock said pushing her hair back.
Trish nodded, "Ok, that sounds good." She motioned for him to come closer, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you for everything."
Brock walked out of the room and the doctor went into see Trish. Brock sat down by Dave and Melissa, "Guys, Trish is going to need a lot of support, things didn't go the way she wanted."
"What do you mean?" Melissa asked.
Brock explained about the hysterectomy and how upset she is that she could never have children of her own and it was really hitting her hard.
After the doctor walked out, Melissa stood up, "I'm going to go in there and visit with my sister. She's going to need me."
And she headed in her room.
