I Need You Tonight
Chapter 34
The Accident
A stage hand hurried into Evolution's locker room.
"Paul, it's an emergency. It's Natalie, there's been an accident."
"What? Where's she at?"
"Hilton View Hospital."
"Alright, tell Vince I'm leaving."
---at the hospital---
Natalie was in an accident with a carload of college students that were drunk, and they ran her car head first into a telephone pole. Right now, the doctors really didn't know if she would make it or not, let alone the status of the baby.
--meanwhile at RAW--
"Where's Paul and Natalie?" Randy asked.
"Natalie was in an accident, and they don't know if her and the baby are going to make it."
"OMG! What hospital?"
"Hilton View Hospital."
"I'm leaving." Randy said grabbing his keys and bag and running out of the arena.
--back at the hospital--
A nurse walked up to Paul, asking "Are you her husband?"
Paul quickly nodded his head, and she told him to follow her into the ICU. He was warned that she didn't look very good, and that she was in a coma, and that the baby did not make it. He held back the tears when he walked into the ICU room where a lifeless Natalie was laying with machines and tubes all over the place trying to restore her precious life.
His fifteen minutes were up quicker than what he had hoped, and when he got to the waiting room, he seen Randy and Dave in there.
"Would one of you want to go in there and see her?" The nurse asked Natalie's supposed "cousins."
Dave went in first, and he really couldn't believe the sight in front of him, Natalie looked completely different than what he had seen of her just mere hours ago. He felt bad for both Paul and Randy; but shockingly he felt worse for Randy because Natalie and him have not gotten along lately, and by the sounds of it were not talking, and here she had an accident, and lost their baby. His fifteen minutes were soon up, and now it was Randy's turn.
He was completely not ready to see what she looked like. He walked into the room and could not believe the horrific site before him, gone had been the vivacious woman he had met two years ago and the love of his life, now it was replaced with a pale, battered, bruised, and lifeless woman who he really didn't seem to know. The doctors had told him and Paul that she had a 50-50 chance to live, and they wouldn't be surprised if she would live past the night. Randy walked in and sat down; holding her hand.
"Natalie, you have to come back to me. I feel so guilty for fighting with you, and now you're like this. I wish I could turn back time, and not fight with you. But maybe that will make us stronger, if there is even an us after today. I just want you to come back, I love you too much to let you go right now. You said you would never give up on us.." As soon as he said that, her hand that was holding his, started to quiver, and the machines started beeping, and her eyes started to open.
"Randy." Natalie mumbled incoherently.
The nurses and doctor rushed into Natalie's room. They quickly showed Randy out of the room and attended to Natalie immediately.
--twenty minutes later---
The doctors said that Natalie successfully came out of her coma quickly, and pushed her life percent up to 75-25. They then let her husband Paul see her again.
She was sleeping quietly when he walked in and surprisingly started gaining her color back from where it was. He sat down next to her, and grabbed her hand.
"Baby, I'm so glad you're awake. I don't think I could live without, hell I don't even want to think about it. I'm just glad that you're going to be alright." Paul said kissing her forehead.
--out in the waiting room--
"God, Dave..I feel so guilty." Randy said with tears brimming in his eyes.
"Why? What's been going on with you two?"
"Stacy. We started dating and Natalie didn't like the fact, and I said about her and Paul, and we had an argument, and then I questioned if the baby was mine."
"Randy, what the hell did you say that for? You know it's yours."
"I was just angry."
"Randy, she lost that baby. I'm not taking her side; but I'm just saying yeah, it was wrong that she said that about you and Stacy, but she was pregnant with your baby, and that baby is dead."
"I know, Dave. I just wish she would dump Paul."
"You know the consequences of that both of you would lose your job, you'd never have a wrestling career because of Paul and Vince's closeness, and you know Paul is already suspicious of you."
"I see what you mean, Dave." Randy said as Paul was walking out of Natalie's room.
"Can I go see her, Paul?" Randy said asking his friend.
"Sure."
Randy walked back the hall and into Natalie's room.
"Hey Shorty." Randy said seeing that her beautiful brown eyes were open.
"Hey."
"You're talking."
"Yup."
"How are you feeling?"
"Alright." Natalie said smiling.
"I apologize for everything."
"Randy, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault that I was in an accident. Everything happens for a reason."
"Didn't mean for you almost to be paralyzed."
"But I'm not, I just have my leg broken and my arm. I'll be out of here soon."
"Well, still."
"Don't worry about me, worry about Stacy." Natalie said bitterly.
"Why do you have to bring her up?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be bitter about it." Natalie said sincerely.
