When we last left our coupleā¦..
"How can you be his wife? He said that you left him, that he was single. You can't possibly be his wife," Anna said, trying to remain calm. Randy had stepped in between the two women, hoping to prevent any catfight that may occur.
"I did leave Dave, but it was a stupid mistake. As I sat down to sign the divorce papers, I started to have second thoughts. Dave and I are meant for each other, and no one is going to come between us," Nikki said as she reached into her purse, retrieving the precious documents.
"You mean to tell me that you have been thinking all this time about how you and Dave could get back together, but you never thought to call and tell him about your little plan?" Anna practically yelled.
"What's it to you, little miss barefoot and pregnant?" Nikki asked as she slowly rose from her chair.
"Because, as of Tuesday, I am Mrs. David Bautista, bitch." By this time Anna and Nikki were practically clawing at Randy trying to get at each other,
"Ok ladies, let's think about this logically. Dave already signed the papers, but Nikki here didn't, which means that,"
"Dave and I are still married," Nikki said with confidence. Anna didn't know what to do. First Jacob was trying to take away her child, now this crazy woman was trying to take her husband away from her too. It was too much for Anna to handle.
"I need to get some air," she said as she slowly began to walk out of the room, not noticing the movement in the hospital bed.
"Hey kid, you leaving me just because some guy who can't drive ruined my good looks?" Dave asked. As his vision started to clear up, he looked around the room to see Randy bandaged up, but at least he was standing, and the woman he thought he would never see again.
"Nikki, what are you doing here?"
"A friend of mine is a nurse here. When she heard that you were admitted, she called me and I came right down to be with you."
"Why, we aren't together anymore," Dave said with a confused look on his face.
"We are still together baby. I never signed the divorce papers. Here see for yourself she said as she held the papers up for Dave to see. And there clear as day was his sprawling signature next to a blank line.
"Nikki, you need to sign them, and you need to do it now," Dave said.
"Dave, you don't understand. I was stupid to leave you and I realized that when the lawyer gave me the papers to sign, but I have changed and I know that we can make it work. You have got to believe me."
"Nikki, sign the papers. You don't love me, you love that I am on TV and making money. When I was bouncing and going to wrestling school, all you did was complain about how we didn't have enough money. You were always out with your friends, and I do know about the times that you cheated. So just sign the papers so that we both can move on." Nikki was defeated. He knew about her affairs and saw right through her.
"Fine Dave, if this is what you want. If you want to leave me for that piece of trash than fine," Nikki said as she signed the papers and began to walk out of the room trying to salvage what little dignity she had left.
"That piece of trash is my wife, Nikki." Dave said as he watched his ex-wife walk out of room and out of his life.
"Well, that was fun and interesting," Randy said and he took a breath for the first time in five minutes. "I'm going to leave you too crazy kids alone so you can make heads or tails of this mess. If you need me, I'll be outside," Randy said as he left the room.
"So, what did I miss," Batista asked, worried about Anna.
"Only your ex-wife coming back saying that the two of you are still married, other than that nothing much."
"I'm really sorry you had to run into her. She can be a little over bearing when she wants."
"At least your taste in women has improved greatly," Anna said as she made her way over to Dave's hospital bed. As she got closer, Dave could she that Anna had lost some of her pregnant "glow" and dark circles had formed under her eyes.
"When's the last time you've had something to eat?" Dave asked. Annalise looked as if she was going to fall over if a stiff wind blew.
"I can't remember. Randy called me, I packed a bag and got some stuff for you and then rushed down here."
"Well come here. You can have some of my Jell-o if you want," Dave said trying to get Anna to at least eat something belonging to a food group.
"Aren't you sweet? I see that someone passed sharing in kindergarten."
"It was my best subject," Dave answered. The happy couple was about to kiss when there was a knock at the door. Randy, Triple H and Ric then entered the room.
"You guys have even better timing outside of the ring," Dave said.
"Did we interrupt something?" Randy asked.
"Nothing that we can't do later, when I figure out how to lock the door," Annalise said.
"I didn't know what kind of prison food they have in hear, so I got you guys some burgers from the outside,"
"Thanks Randy. You are a life saver," Annalise said. The smells of the food making her realize just how hungry she was. Anna snatched the burger from Randy's had and took a huge bite, causing all four men to stare in disbelief.
"What are you all staring at," she said mouth full of food.
"Slow down kid you might choke," Dave said trying not to laugh out loud.
"I'm really hungry. I haven't been able to eat solid food in months," Anna said on the verge of tears.
"I'm sorry, kid. You enjoy that burger, but please enjoy it slowly," Dave said as he began to eat his own dinner. Little conversation soon followed, but was interrupted when the doctor came into the room.
"I see that you are awake and doing well, Mr. Bautista," the doctor said while he looked over Dave's chart and vital signs. "By the looks of things, when you are finished eating you can get dressed and go home. No wrestling until your head and hand heals, which should be in about 6-8 weeks. Other than that, light workouts, if you start to get dizzy or your head or hand starts to hurt, stop immediately," the doctor said as he signed Dave's release papers.
"That's great news," Anna said as she kissed Dave on the cheek. "Go change and for the love of God, please shave. I don't like kissing astro turf," Anna said, starting a round of laughter among the friends.
"Yes, ma'am," Dave said as he got out of bed and made his way towards the bathroom, he swatted Anna playfully on her butt.
"Don't start something you can't finish," she said with a playful grin on her face.
"All I need is a 20 minute power nap and I'll be ready to go," Dave replied as he closed the bathroom door behind him.
