Chapter 2
Two months had passed and Stephanie still wasn't pregnant. No one knew of hers and Matt's baby plans as they wanted to surprise everyone when she was pregnant. After the third month of trying without success, Stephanie finally made an appointment with her OB/GYN.
Matt wasn't able to go with her to the appointment as he was on tour with the WWE. Stephanie waited as patiently as possible in doctors office. After the doctor did her exam she asked Stephanie to meet her in her personal office.
"What's wrong with me?" Stephanie asked.
"The reason you are having such a hard time conceiving is that your tubes have scar tissue built up and the eggs cant travel down and the sperm cant travel up. There is a new laser procedure that we can do to remove the scar tissue. It will mean that you can't try for a baby for at least two months after the surgery." The doctor answered.
"Ok. Can I talk with my boyfriend about this before scheduling anything?" Stephanie asked.
"Sure. Here is the information on the surgery." The doctor responded before Stephanie left.
Two days later Matt was finally home and Stephanie knew that she had to tell him as soon as possible. After Matt had unpacked he came downstairs and joined Stephanie in the living room. He could tell that something was bothering Stephanie.
"How was your appointment?" Matt asked.
"Not so good." Stephanie answered.
"What's wrong?" Matt asked concerned.
"My tubes are clogged with scar tissue that needs to be removed before I can get pregnant. My doctor is recommending that I have the laser surgery done as soon as possible and we would have to wait two months before we could try again." Stephanie answered.
"Ok. When is the surgery?" Matt asked.
"I haven't scheduled it yet. I wanted to talk to you about it first." Stephanie answered.
"Ok. I'm glad you did. I'm usually home Wednesday through Sunday. So why do we schedule it for a Wednesday that way I am home with you for a few days afterwards." Matt suggested.
"Ok. I'll call my doctor and set it up." Stephanie responded.
Stephanie was able to get the surgery scheduled for the following Wednesday. Matt called Vince and asked for that Monday off due to the surgery and recovery period. Vince was more than ok with him taking the days off.
Wednesday morning rolled around and Matt drove Stephanie to the hospital at 4am as her surgery was scheduled for 6am. While Stephanie was in surgery, Matt remained in the waiting room only leaving to use the bathroom and get more coffee. Stephanie was out of surgery by 9am and resting in the recovery room.
"Hey baby. How are you feeling?" Matt asked as Stephanie woke up.
"Tired and numb." Stephanie answered.
"That's to be expected. I love you." Matt responded.
"I love you too." Stephanie said sleepily.
"Glad to see you are awake." The doctor stated. "I have good news."
"What is it?" Stephanie asked.
"We were able to get all the scar tissue removed and your tubes look perfectly clear." The doctor answered. "Just remember no trying to conceive for at least two months to be sure that your tubes have healed 100%."
"Thank you doctor. We will." Stephanie responded.
Later that afternoon, Stephanie was released from the hospital and Matt helped her into the house and up to their room to lay down. The next few weeks were going to be interesting as no one knew about the surgery either.
The two months passed rather quickly and after a follow-up appointment with her doctor, Stephanie was cleared to try and conceive. Matt and Stephanie wasted no time and started that night and continued almost every night.
One day while Stephanie was out shopping with Beth for their baby, she started to feel dizzy and nauseous. Beth noticed that Stephanie looked a little pale and called Jeff who was across town with Matt and their friend Shannon's tattoo shop.
"Jeff, I think that you and Matt need to get over here now. Steph looks very pale and she's dizzy." Beth stated.
"Ok. Where are you?" Jeff asked.
"Southern Pines Mall near Sears." Beth answered.
"Ok we will be right there." Jeff stated.
"Um you might just want to meet us the ER. I'm calling 911 she's bleeding badly." Beth stated as she hung up and called 911.
Stephanie was rushed to the nearest ER. Beth rode with her in the ambulance. Matt and Jeff were already at the ER waiting for them. Beth joined Jeff in the waiting room while Matt went with Stephanie and the nurses.
"What happened?" Jeff asked.
"We were walking towards Sears and she stated that she was starting to feel dizzy and sick. So we sat down and after I called you she started bleeding badly." Beth answered.
"Ok. I'm sure that everything will be ok." Jeff stated as he hugged Beth.
Meanwhile in the back of the ER, Stephanie was being examined by a doctor while Matt held her hand. Once the doctor got the bleeding to stop and Stephanie was cleaned up. A nurse hooked up an IV and started a bag of fluids to re-hydrate Stephanie. After Stephanie finally woke up, she saw where she was and that Matt was sitting next to her.
"What happened?" Stephanie asked.
"You started bleeding badly at the mall. Beth called Jeff and then 911. The doctor got the bleeding to stop and you were also dehydrated. How are you feeling now?" Matt answered.
"A little better. But why was I bleeding?" Stephanie asked.
"Don't know. Still waiting for the doctor to come in with the lab results." Matt answered as the doctor walked in.
"Glad to see you awake. I have your lab results." the doctor stated.
"What are they?" Stephanie asked.
"I'm sorry to say that you suffered a miscarriage. You were about 5 weeks along and the pregnancy just didn't take. I'm sorry." the doctor answered.
"Thank you, doctor. When can I go home?" Stephanie asked.
"You can go home tomorrow morning. I want to keep you over night just for observations." the doctor stated.
Matt went out to the waiting room and told Jeff and Beth to go home and that everything was going to be ok. Matt remained by Stephanie's side all night. And she was thankful that she had such a loving and caring man in her life.
