The next few days John decorated the nursery with Bret's help. Emily sat in the rocking chair in the room and told them where things were going to go. John was leaving for the road and Bret was going to stay with Emily. John had doubled her security and added more to their home alarm system. He wanted to make sure Drew could get nowhere near Emily.
"Please be careful. You never know might happen." Emily said as John got ready to leave.
"I'm going to be careful. Don't worry." He said kissing her goodbye. He headed for the cab and then to the airport.
Once John had gone, Emily turned to her dad.
"Dad, do you think Drew will come after me?" She asked sitting down.
"I don't know. I have a feeling he is changing his plan. I just have no idea what it might be. I have asked a few people on SMACKDOWN to keep an eye and ear out. Mainly, Cody, who is now his tag team partner and Paul. They will let us know if they hear anything." Bret replied sitting down.
Drew arrived at the arena and met up with Cody. He and Cody didn't get along at all but had been thrown in the storyline together. He knew he had to keep his plan to himself. Cody would tell John as he was friends with Emily. All of the superstars were together as they were doing a superstar show with both brands. He knew this was his chance to get John out of the way. Once he was, he could make his move on Emily. Without Cena to protect her, she was vulnerable. He had to get to her and make sure that she didn't' have that baby.
Drew stalked John the whole day looking for the perfect opportunity to take him out. When it didn't come, he talked to Vince about a match with him. One with no DQ. Vince agreed to the match and it was set for that night.
"John, be careful in this match. Drew is planning something." Randy said as they were in the locker room.
"I know he is. Don't worry, I'm going to keep my guard up. Can you call Bret through out my match and make sure Emily is okay?"
"Yes." Randy said just as John was called for his match.
Emily was watching from home and was shocked to hear about John and Drew's match. She asked her dad to call John.
"Dad, did you get in touch with John?" Emily knew Drew was planning something and it scared her.
"I tried but he wasn't picking up. I'm calling Randy." Bret dialed Randy's cell phone.
"Hello." Randy said picking up.
"Randy, its Bret. Please tell me John is nearby."
"No. He is getting ready for his match. In fact, it should be starting."
"Emily is worried. She thinks Drew is up to something."
"I do and so does John. We are keeping our eyes open. If Drew tried to hurt John, I'm on my way out there."
"Good. Emily is so stressed by this and she doesn't need that. She is already having a complicated pregnancy."
"I know. I'm watching don't worry." Randy hung up and turned his attention to the TV.
Bret turned back to Emily who was watching the match. "I talked to Randy and he is watching to make sure nothing happens."
"I hope so."
"Emily, everything will be fine." Bret said sitting beside her and placing his arm around her.
It killed him that she was so worried about things. This was a great time in her life. She should be focused on becoming a mom and being a wife. Not worried if her ex was going to hurt her or John.
They watched the match and it was brutal. Drew stopped at nothing to hurt John through out it. He slammed John into the steel steps and put him through the announce table. They proceeded to fight all over the arena. John managed to put Drew through a table and slammed him onto the concrete. By the end of the match both were bloodied and beaten. John managed to get Drew back into the ring and got the three count. But once it was over, Drew attacked John again and once again slammed into the steps. Nexus came out and helped Drew.
Randy and the others came out and managed to get rid of Nexus and Drew. But the damage had been done and John was taken to the hospital to get checked out. Randy knew he had to call Bret and tell him. He hoped that Emily had fallen asleep and didn't see the match.
Bret waited for Randy's call. He had seen the whole match. Emily watched some of it but by the end she was asleep. She hadn't seen everything Drew or Nexus had done to John.
"Randy, tell me John is okay." Bret said as he picked up his cell.
"He is in with the doctors." Randy said to him.
"Let me know."
"Did Emily see it?"
"She saw the first ten minutes. She fell asleep."
"Good. I will call you once we have word." Randy hung up just as the doctor came out. "Doctor, is John okay?"
"Yes. He has some bruises and broken rib but all in all he is okay."
"Great. Can I go see him?"
"Yes." The doctor led Randy to John's room. "I will let you talk."
The doctor left leaving Randy and John. "John, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Did Emily or Bret call?"
"Bret called while you were in the ring and then I called him on the way to the hospital."
"Did Emily see the match?"
"She saw the first ten minutes then she fell asleep. So, she has no idea what Drew did or what Nexus did."
"Good. She doesn't' need any stress."
"John, Drew was trying to hurt you. That is obvious."
"I know he is but it isn't going to work. I'm not going to get hurt."
"I hope you don't."
"I won't."
John stayed over night in the hospital. The next day, Vince gave him the rest of the week off. John knew he would have to explain to Emily everything Drew did. He hated that this would stress her out more. She needed quiet but with Drew trying to hurt him, it wasn't going to be like that. All John could do was try to make Emily feel safe. He wasn't worried about Drew coming after him. If he came, he came. John only focus was Emily and their daughter.
