"Hey honey, you ready yet" AJ called from the bedroom.
Samaire had locked herself in the bathroom. She was returning to the Impact! tapings today, Jerry had given her a role as talent co-ordinator for the women once the hospital had decided to release her. It was her job to help organise the matches and make sure everyone of the women was ready for their promos.
"I can't do this AJ" she yelled back as she looked in the mirror, depressed.
"Yes, you can Sam" he yelled back.
Samaire sighed. She was now 20 weeks into her pregnancy and her belly was definitly no longer flat. As she looked into the mirror she saw that her bump was clearly noticable. She was wearing a patterned floaty green and gold skirt that reached her knees, a pale blue singlet that clung to her new curves and Indian inspired sandles.
"Come on Sam, I'm sure you still look as sexy as ever" AJ said gently as he leant against the door. He moved when he heard the door's lock click. Samaire walked out.
"Man, you are a sexy mama" AJ whistled as he looked at Samaire. He had to admit she looked as good as ever to him, however he noticed she obviously didn't feel the same as he did.
"Oh Sam honestly, you look beautiful" he said as he ran his hand over her baby bump.
Samaire managed to give him a little smile as she walked past to find Brooke. AJ sighed and followed.
"Brooke honey, come on time to go" she yelled as she walked towards the dining room to find her car keys.
She stopped and leaned against the bench for a few moments, feeling the horrible sensation in her chest again. AJ walked into the room and noticed her leaning against the bench.
"You okay Sam" he inquired, concerned.
"Yeah fine, just can't walk as quickly and be fine like I use to" she lied. The feeling had passed by the time Brooke walked down stairs.
Samaire ushered them all out to the car, with AJ watching her carefully, sensing that all was not as she claimed.
"Okay Gail, you have a promo with AMW in 10 minutes, Jackie, you ready for your match run-in?"
"Yep, run in and hit Jeff Jarrett with the title belt before scrambling out of the ring, got ya" she said, doing up the zip on her impossibly high heeled boots. Samaire wondered if it was humanly possible to even walk in those things.
"Okay and Traci, you ready for your match?"
"Yep babe, no problems here" she said "But you need to chill - we're all fine sweetie, so take a break. All the stress can't be good for bubby there" she said, motioning for Samaire to sit down.
"I'll rest when I'm finished Traci" she said as she looked down at her clipboard.
"Trish, you and Jeff against Traci and Michael - any problems with that" she questioned, looking up at Trish.
"No sweetie, everything is ready to go" she said "I agree with Traci though, you look tired honey - take a break"
Samaire looked at all the girls, who were watching her.
"Fine, let me return these papers to Jerry and I'll take a break and watch the show, okay" she said, a little annoyed she was being treated as some walking sickness. She closed the doors and walked down the hall.
"I'm going to follow her" Traci said "She doesn't look so good"
Traci walked out the door and followed Samaire as she walked around the corner. She spotted Michael down the hall.
"Oh hey Michael, got a second" she yelled, watching Samaire walk into Jerry's office.
"What's wrong?" he said, slightly annoyed.
"Dude, just wondering if you knew where AJ was" she said, frowing at his attitude.
"Yeah, he's in his dressing room with Brooke, why?"
"Never mind" she said as she headed down the hall towards Jerry's office. She knocked but there was no response.
'That's weird' she thought as she opened the door, only to find Samaire slumped unconscious on the floor.
"Oh shit - MICHAEL!" she yelled as she rushed over to Samaire - she wasn't breathing. Trying to keep as calm as she could she again yelled on the top of her voice to Michael before starting CPR.
"What's your problem...what happened" he said as he rushed in the door, seeing Samaire sprawled out on the floor.
"Call an ambulance, now!"
Michael rushed over to the phone on Jerry's desk and called 911.
"Now what?" he said, panicking.
"Get AJ" she said between breathes. She finally managed to get Samaire breathing again, but she still remained unconscious.
Michael came running back five minutes later with a stressed out AJ.
"I knew something was wrong this morning" he said, wiping away a tear.
The ambulance officers arrived a few minutes later, once again taking Samaire to hospital.
"Samaire you really need to think about this decision you've made, it is really dangerous what you are doing - both for you and the baby" the doctor said with a stern face. Samaire looked out the window.
"I'm not giving up my baby" she said firmly.
AJ watched her facial expressions. 'There is no way she's going to budge on this' he thought.
A few seconds later a bunch of nurses and doctors went running past the door. One of them stopped in the doorway.
"Doctor, we have an emergancy - car crash"
"Okay, well think about what I said" the doctor said as he rushed out of the room.
Samaire looked at AJ before looking back out the window. AJ phone rang, he stepped out of the room to talk. A few minutes later he returned.
"Sorry Sam, but I have to go back to the tapings" he said as he grabbed her hand "You going to be okay?"
Samaire nodded "They want to keep me in here for a while, so you go" she said, giving him a kiss before resting back into the bed.
"I'll be back as soon as we are finished the tapings with Brooke, okay" he said, giving her another quick kiss before leaving the room.
Samaire layed back against the pillows, depressed. The doctors were still running around, crazy outside her door. She was about to get up and close it when a familiar face appeared in the door.
"Hi Sam"
"Austin! What are you doing here? What did you do to your arm" she said, noticing his right arm was covered in plaster.
"Oh, this? I broke it at the last ROH show" he said "Came to see you - you okay?"
"Yeah, suppose. Don't know what to do" she said.
"So what is wrong with you again" he said as he sat in the seat next to her bed.
"It's called Cardiomyopathy - it's a heart condition" she replied.
"Bad?" he questioned.
Samaire nodded "Yeah pretty bad actually"
"Oh" he said, holding her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die" she laughed, sort of trying to convince herself as much as trying to convince Austin.
Austin wasn't believing her for a second.
"You could Sam, this is serious" he said. The smile disappeared from her face.
"I'm not giving up on this baby Austin. Paul told me to be strong and I'm going to be, okay"
"Paul? Sam, Paul is dead okay and you will be too if you don't get serious!"
Samaire sat up in bed and glared at him.
"He came to me in my dreams and warned me of this! I can do this Austin, I want this child..." she said before clutching her chest.
Austin shot up out of his chair and helped Samaire lay back down.
"Sam, calm down baby, calm down. It's okay I believe you" he said soothingly, trying to get her to get her breathing under control.
She looked up at him as her breathing returned to normal.
"I'm not crazy Austin" she whispered.
"No one said you were baby" he said as she drifted back to sleep.
