John Cena was sitting in the same place he had been for the past two weeks. Beside Jessie's hospital bed. Since the day she had been shot Jessie had been in a coma. It had been Josh that had shot her. He had escaped from jail and shot her standing right outside the window. Luckily the police had been patrolling John's neighborhood when they found out about Josh escaping and had caught him as he was making his escape. John had saw Jessie go down, blood pouring from the wound in her back. He had dropped to her side and had to be dragged away from her body so that the paramedics could work on her.
John was snapped out of his thoughts as someone touched his shoulder. He looked up into Trish's face. She looked tired, sad and her face was devoid of the classy makeup she usually wore. "Honey why don't you go get a bite to eat or maybe go stretch your legs. You've been here for almost the whole time and haven't moved but to go to the bathroom or out of the room to cry. It's not good sweetie".
"Trish I can't. What if she wakes up while I'm gone? I don't want her to wake up to anyone else but me" John said, his gaze never leaving the peaceful face of his babygirl. Trish sighed and kissed John's cheek.
"I'm going to the cafeteria do you want me to bring you something" Trish asked John.
"Coffee and a sandwich" John said. It was all he had been eating for the past two weeks. Trish sighed, she was tempted to bring him a big plate of food and a coke but figured she'd just give him what he wanted lest she cause him to blow up in anger. He didn't need that.
Trish left to go get the food and John decided it was about time to do what he had been doing everyday for the past 2 weeks. He leaned his head next to Jessie's, being careful not to disturb her tubes and IV's and began. "For a long time I felt it wasn't my time. Felt like a thief that done a crime. Then this ray of sun came and brightened my day. Taught me that life was too precious to throw away. Never forget all you did for me. Everything that you gave to me. Girl you precious to me and I want you to know. Daddy's right here he's got no place to go. Oh you know you'll always be daddy's girl. Always be there to bring light to his world. And I just want you to know one thing. Girl you my heart and will always be" John couldn't do anymore because he dissolved into tears.
Trish came back just then and when she saw John in tears she started to go over to him, but when he started talking she held back. "Babygirl" he said "you gotta come back to me. I need you. I miss that smile of yours. I miss hearing 'Daddy'. I miss YOU" John cried once again, and this time Trish went and wrapped her arms around him. John cried on her shoulder for a few minutes before pulling back "I'm ok" he said to Trish she nodded and went to go grab the bag from where she sat it on the table moments before. "I'm sorry for breaking down like that in front of you babygirl" John said to Jessie. Trish handed him his sandwich and coffee and sat down beside him with her hamburger and coke. She had another hamburger and coke hidden in the bag and hoped that she could give it to John if he looked at hers like he wanted it but she had been doing the same thing for 2 weeks and was starting to get tired of throwing perfectly good hamburgers and cokes in the garbage.
"The doctor came by earlier" John said to Trish "he said that there was no medical reason that Jessie was in a coma. That she had some condition that was all mental. I forgot what he called it but basically she's scared to come back. She is subconsciously remembering how it was when she was shot and doesn't want to come back into that situation. He said to talk to her and make her feel safe and keep upbeat as much as possible and maybe when she feels ok she'll wake up".
"That's good" Trish said with a smile on her face "maybe when I go switch out our clothes later I'll get Rocky Horror Picture show and that cd of the song you and Marc did for her birthday and anything else I can think of and bring it. Maybe having all those familiar things will help her feel like she can wake up" John nodded as he chewed his sandwich. His mind was racing trying to think of ways to get Jessie to wake up.
"Hun" he said to Trish "bring my maroon football jersey with you when you come back too. I asked the doctor and he said it was ok for me to put it on her as long as I get a nurse to unhook her IV and stuff first. It was always her favorite to sleep in. She kept some of my Drakkar Noir cologne on it to keep it 'smelling like you'" he did a bad imitation of Jessie's voice and Trish gave a little laugh. She stood up with her trash.
"Ok" Trish said "I'm gonna go and get those things. I'm gonna go by and get some more deodorant and toothpaste too" she kissed John's cheek and left.
Alexis was currently on her way down the hall to the room she and Randy had been sharing. Randy had tried to get houseshows off so he could be with Jessie but they wouldn't let him. Alexis had been trying to tell Randy she was pregnant but things kept popping up left and right. Finally after she had spent the day with Victoria shopping she decided to just make him listen to her so she could tell him. She took out her key card and opened the door. She saw him sitting on the couch watching a tape of his match from the night before.
Alexis went over and stopped the tape and shut the tv off. She went over to Randy and pushed him to where he was sitting side ways on the couch then she sat in front of him staring at him, she almost laughed at the bewildered look on his face but held it in. "I have to tell you something" she started "and I don't care what happens. If the phone rings it rings. If someone knocks on the door they can go take a flying leap. I HAVE to tell you this and nothing is gonna stop me. I have been keeping this secret for over two weeks and I am going to tell you right..." Alexis was cut off when Randy kissed her forcefully. He kept it up for a few seconds before pulling back.
"Sorry" he said "you were getting kinda hysterical now tell me what you want to tell me. We got all night to ourselves and you can tell me anything you want". Alexis took a deep breath and looked at Randy's face. He had a kind of serene look on his face.
"I'm pregnant" Alexis blurted out "and I want to know if you're gonna be there for me. It's not a big deal if not though because we'll just break up and I'll get Mark to help me. He already offered you know, big brothers do that for their little sisters. Of course if you acted like a complete jerk and didn't want to have anything to do with me or told me to get rid of the baby then Mark would kick your ass and..." Alexis was cut off again by Randy kissing her. He pulled back and pulled her into his arms.
"You're pregnant?" he asked almost as if he was in shock. Alexis nodded slowly. She was surprised when Randy stood up and swung her in his arms around the room, whooping loudly. He sat back down and kissed her "sorry" he said "I just...I can't...this is the best news I have gotten in a while. I mean with Jessie being in a coma and all I haven't really had any thing to smile about but now...wow baby I love you so much" Randy kissed Alexis and laid her down on the couch. He put his head on her stomach and talked "Hi little boy or girl. It's your daddy. I love you a lot. I just found out about you though. I want you to be good to mommy while your in her tummy ok. Don't kick her too much, unless your uncomfortable and have to move that is. Also don't make her eat weird foods ok. I don't really wanna kiss mommy when she has sardine breath" Alexis smacked Randy when he said this and he laughed "oh and once again I love you bunches. I'll talk to you again ok" Randy hugged Alexis around her stomach and kissed it lightly. He then rolled them over to where Alexis was on top and she scooted down to where her head was laying on the crook of his neck. She kissed it and felt him shiver.
"Your too cute" she said "I love you".
'My God! I can't stand any more of this! First you spurn me for Eddie, and then you throw him off like an old overcoat for Rocky! You chew people up and then you spit them out again... I loved you... do you hear me? I loved you! And what did it get me? Yeah, I'll tell you: a big nothing. You're like a sponge. You take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion. Yeah, well, I've had enough You're gonna choose between me and Rocky, so named after the rocks in his head! ' came from the tv in Jessie's room. John had put in Rocky Horror Picture Show as soon as Trish had came back. He also had gotten a nurse to help him put his jersey on Jessie, after he sprayed it with his cologne.
"What does she see in this movie" John laughed as he watched it. Trish giggled and shrugged keeping her attention on the movie, she didn't tell John but secretly she was beginning to like the movie too. John walked over and sat on the edge of Jessie's bed. "Babygirl you're missing the movie. You need to wake up so you can watch the rest of it. I'll even restart it so you can watch it from start to finish". John grabbed Jessie's hand and squeezed it. He was surprised when he felt her fingers squeeze back a bit. He looked at her face and saw her mouth twitch and her eyes move under their lids "babygirl" he said hopefully. Trish looked over at him when he said this and saw him looking hopefully at Jessie. She walked over and stood beside him.
"John what is it?" she asked putting her hand on his shoulder. He looked over at her, an excited smile on his face.
"She squeezed my hand! And I saw her lips move and her eyes too!" he turned back toward Jessie "come on babygirl. It's daddy. Come on sweet babygirl open those beautiful blue eyes of yours please" Jessie moaned as if she was in pain and moved around. She pulled her hand from John's grasp and shook her head from side to side. She stopped moving her head when it was turned toward John. Slowly Jessie's eyes opened and she looked right at him. Both John and Trish could have wept at that moment. They had been waiting two weeks for this moment and it had finally happened. Jessie's lips opened and she spoke in a hoarse whisper.
"Who are you".
