She stopped for a minute before she opened the door. She went in and found him lying on the bed. She didn't know what to say so she just went over and gave him a hug. He noticed that she was crying.
"Hey, it's going to be okay." Jeff said.
"I just keep on thinking that maybe if I hadn't suggested that you so the Swanton off the ladder then maybe you wouldn't be here right now." Trish replied looking down at her hands.
"Hey, don't go blaming yourself. I mean I would have done it anyway whether or not you suggested the idea. I mean I do have that rep of being a risk taker and what not. I don't want you to think that this is your fault because it's not." Jeff stated.
Trish looked up at him. No matter what he said, it didn't make this situation any better.
"Thanks." Trish replied. "Um, did they tell you anything about the procedure?" Trish asked.
"Yea, they said that it's a complicated procedure but nothing they couldn't handle." Jeff replied.
"Did they tell you anything else?" Trish asked looking at her hands, not wanting to see the hurt in his eyes.
"Um, actually they said there's a possibility that I may not be able to walk again." Jeff said just above a whisper.
"I'm sorry Jeff. I'll be with you every step of the way. I'll help with your rehab, take care of you for as long as you need me to." Trish offered while giving him a hug.
"Thanks Trish." Jeff replied hugging her back.
"You should probably get some rest. I'm going to go call Matt and Amy to let them know what's going on." Trish said. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed out.
"Hey Trish, can you do me favor?" Jeff asked.
"Sure, anything, what is it?" Trish asked.
"After you're done calling Matt and Amies, can you stay the night with me? Ever since my mom died, I've always had a hard time going to hospitals, let along staying over night. Please?" Jeff asked, unsure of what she might say.
"Of course I'll stay." Trish answered with a smile. "I'll be back. Do you want anything to drink? I could pick us some things?" Trish asked.
"No I'm good but thank you." Jeff replied. "Oh and Trish, thanks for being here with me." Jeff added.
"I can't imagine being anywhere else." Trish stated then left.

"Hey Amy...not so good...he's in his room....yea tomorrow.....they said that there's a possibility that he may never walk again...I know it's the worst thing that could ever happen...I just keep on thinking that maybe if....thanks amies but you and I both know that if I didn't suggest it then maybe things would be different...yea that's what he said....okay amies..I will...okay..love you too..good night." Trish got off her phone and headed back inside the hospital. She took the elevator to the sixth floor where Jeff's room was. She got off the elevator, her mind going a thousand miles a minute. She knocked before going in. She found him sound asleep. He looked so peaceful. She pulled up a chair and sat down beside his bed. She started looking through a magazine when he felt his hand reach up to hers.
"Come and sleep with me." Jeff stated more than asking.
"Umm Jeff, I don't know. I mean there's not enough room for the both of us on that bed." Trish replied. She wanted to jump into bed with him and just cuddle but now just didn't seem like the right time or place consider their situation.
Jeff scooted over a bit and said "See here's more room. Please Trish, I'll be able to sleep better knowing that you're here.
"Alright Jeff, just so you can get some rest." Trish replied with a chuckle.
She took off her shoes and jacket and placed them on the chair. Then she got into bed beside Jeff. She was a bit distant at first but then she got comfortable with the idea and moved a bit closer. She placed her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Night Trish" Jeff said
"Night Jeff" Trish replied. They both fell asleep with high hopes that everything will go as planned and that there would be no complications.

"Hey guys. They took him in about half an hour ago. They said that the procedure itself shouldn't be any longer than three hours." Trish said, worried ness was evident in her voice.
"How you holding up?" Amy asked while giving her a hug. Then Matt gave her a hug.
"I'm okay, worried out of my mind but I'm doing okay. How about you guys?" Trish asked.
"Worried." Matt answered, Amy nodded.
"The guys sent balloons and the girls sent him flowers. They wanted to be here but they had to go do a show." Amy said.
"That was nice of them." Trish replied. "What if......" Trish added.
"No what if's or buts. He's going to be fine and he'll be able to walk." Matt assured her. There was nothing left for them to do but to wait. Minutes felt like hours, hours felt like days. They would take turns getting coffee for one another or something to eat. No one left the waiting room. Finally for what seemed like forever they saw Dr. Smith coming out of the operating room.
"Are you all here for Mr. Hardy." He asked.
"Yes we are. Dr. Smith how is he doing? Were there any complications?" Trish asked al at once. "One question at a time Ms. Stratus. The surgery went fine. We were able to rest sections L1 through L5 of his upper lumbar. But..." Dr. Smith said.
"But what Dr?" Matt asked.
"I'm sorry but...."
