Will Everything Work Out?
Trish left the room twenty minutes later and walked out to Hunter and Dave. Lita was siting in Hunter's lap holding his hand and playing with his hair. "Could you guys keep your paws off each other for one minute while I tell you the news?" Trish yelled.
"Damn, sorry." Lita whined as she crawled off him.
"Samantha is O.K, but we're not out of the dark yet. She started to gasp while John was holding her and they might have to take her into surgery. I'll be outside." She walked over to Dave and grabbed his arm. "Come with me." Dave stood up and they walked out in silence.
Once they got outside Dave stopped her. "Why do you want me?"
"Because you have something with you I want." She reached into his shirt pocket but he pulled her hand out.
"You aren't starting again are you?" Dave pulled out his pack of cigarettes and lit one just to make Trish jealous. "I can't let do that Trish. You have a new born that needs you to be around and these things," He stopped and flicked the ashes while he thought. "They don't keep you around."
"Then why do you do it?"
"I ain't got nothing to be around for. But hey I'm quitting anyway. No one will let me wrestle if I'm in bad shape, so I gotta stop." He took another hit and put the cigarette out. They walked by a trashcan and threw away the pack. "There, now we're both S.O.L." He kissed her cheek and walked her in.
"Wait, can we stay outside for awhile?" Trish sat on a bench. "I don't want to face Hunter, he makes me worry."
"I understand. The whole time Torrie was in labor he was asking me what was going on. It gets annoying."
"He's just stupid. It runs in his dad's family, aren't you glad we can blame him for that?" Trish smiled and stood up.
"Glad to see you smile again. You haven't done that in awhile."
"I'm just glad to see you, since the thing with Shawn you haven'y been around very much." She reached her hand for him and he pulled himself up with her help. "I love you Dave, Hunter's my favorite, but I love you too." He grinned and walked her in.
"So, you sure you can face these things? What's inside those doors will never end. You will always have something to worry about from now on. No out all nights anymore. And every day will be devoted to her. You are now a mom. Trishy, you're a mommy."
"I know, twenty years old and a mommy." She sat back down since they hadn't left the bench. "Unmarried, yet widowed. And a mother."
"No! You are a mom. Anyone can be mother, you Trish are sitting in a hospital worried sick about Samantha Rey and you refuse to leave. You were going to kill yourself for that baby. You are a mommy." He pulled her up and hugged her. "Torrie is mother, I am a father. Our twins are with people we don't know, and that's the way she wanted it. I would love to have them back but she didn't."
"You're a daddy too. You want your kids."
"But I don't have them. That makes me a father." They stood there hugging for a little while and then he walked her back in to the waiting room. "One mommy Trish coming at you!" He bellowed to Hunter and Lita, the only ones in there.
"Where's John?"
"Two guesses." Hunter said.
"Holding her?"
"Wrong."
"Bathroom, what happened?"
"They took her to surgery." Hunter stood up and hugged Trish. "They wanted to put a tube in her so she could breathe better. It won't be too long. But we wanted you to have your quiet time. Now we can sit and worry." Hunter pulled her closer and just stood there.
"Trish I'm sorry. I want kids too. Me and Hunter were starting to plan them, but now I'm scared."
"Don't be. As nervewracking as it is, I feel the most joyous I have ever felt. It's a great feeling." Hunter reached over to hold Lita and Dave grabbed Trish.
"I can hold her." Trish turned and saw John. "I take it they told you." He walked over to her. "Everything will work out. The baby is in good hands right now and as long as we stick around, she'll be fine." He kissed her lips and sat down, she sat on his lap and put her arm around him. "It's ok."
"I don't know John, the baby isn't doing too good. 6 hours old and already in surgery it looks pretty bad."
"It's fine, this happens a lot. The other parents that were in there, their baby gets released today, she was born two weeks before Samantha was, and she's fine. Samantha will be too." John squeezed her lightly and kissed her cheek.
"When the twins were born, and Kenneth was in so much trouble, doctors were sure we were gonna lose him. But we didn't. We all doubted him, but in the end he surprised us. The best surprise I ever had. The best surprise I will ever have. And you, you will get that same surprise, I know it." Dave grabbed her hand and rubbed it. "I know it Trishy."
"'Thanks, Dave." Trish looked away towards the nursery operating room. "How long after I left did she go in?"
"As soon as you were out the door John came out upset, said they were gonna take her for a little while." Hunter started.
"Then the doctor came out and took her into surgery." John whispered. "She's been in there for like a half hour. They said the surgery would take 2 hours." John stopped talking and moved Trish to Dave's lap. "I need a walk."
"I'll come then." Trish stood up.
"No I need some time alone. To think."
"Yeah, well I need some time alone with you to think John."
"Why? This baby isn't like half mine or anything, you can call the shots."
"John Cena, sit down." Hunter rudely whispered. "You fiancée wants time with you, take it. I tell you, you and your sister are selfish, everything is always about the Cena's." John sat down and everyone quieted up, just waiting for that door to open.
