Home Again

That night I laid in my hospital bed, more comfortable than I had been since I first got pregnant. I had dreams about going back to my hometown and seeing my two best friends wrestle only…something felt wrong. I was standing at ringside holding my baby close in my arms while watching Shawn super kick the Undertaker in the face. There was a great deal of satisfaction within my heart, but at the same time…I felt as though everything was coming to an end. I watched as the Undertaker was pinned, 1….2….kick out… Shawn was distraught by this turn of events and tried to pull a move I saw him do at the previous WrestleMania. A move that sealed his fate that year….

A loud thud woke me from my slumber. Before I opened my eyes, I heard footsteps coming at me very fast. The person then touched my arm and shook me.

"Meaghan! Meaghan!" they whispered.

I opened my eyes and saw the nurse that delivered my baby looking at me with frantic eyes and holding my daughter in her arms.

"What's going on?" I asked as I sat up.

"Come with me please…he's coming here for you and your baby." She said.

I raised my eyebrows in confusion, "Who?"

"No time to explain, please follow me if you want to save Mia." She said.

I nodded and forced myself out of bed so I could follow her. I was still in a lot of pain but fear had me motivated to follow her as quickly as I could. She led me to the back of the hospital where there was a taxi cab waiting for me. She placed Mia in a car seat and helped me load her in before tossing me some pants and a hoodie to wear.

"Go Meaghan, save your baby please." She pleaded. "Go now!"

I watched her as she turned around and ran back into the hospital. I climbed in the taxi with my daughter and the driver sped off into the night. I wasn't sure who he was or where he was taking us. My mind couldn't even ponder on that since I was confused about who was after me and Mia.

I couldn't feel the Undertaker's presence at all but something told me he may have been the one who was after us. I stopped thinking about it for a while and just kept my eyes on my beautiful daughter. I loved her so much already and she wasn't even 24 hours old yet. I wondered how her dark father would react when he saw her for the first time. That thought stayed with me until I drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I woke up and found myself laying in a familiar house. I looked around at the crème colored walls, looking at the pictures of myself, Shawn, Hunter, and the replicas of the old undisputed titles. I sat up, realizing I was on a couch. It was the very same couch I had spent the night on countless times since I first met Hunter.

I smiled and then my heart began to pound when I realized that my baby was nowhere in sight. I hopped off the couch and ran into the kitchen but no one was there. I began to panic wondering where she was or why I felt as though this was all a dream.

"Man would you calm down," I heard Hunter say. "I'm sure Meg is just fine, she's been through a lot worse you know."

"Yeah I know this…but she just had a child to a man she despises. It's going to be hard for her to cope with." Shawn said.

I walked to the back door and saw them standing by the pool. Hunter had his arms crossed over his large chest while Shawn stood with his hands in his pockets. There was still no sign of Mia though, which made me even more worried.

"Where is she?" I asked weakly but loud enough for them to hear me.

Hunter gazed at me for a moment and then ran to my side when I stepped out of the doorway and nearly fell to my knees.

"Meg you should be resting." He said.

I shook my head, "No…my baby…where is my baby?"

Shawn smiled, "She's upstairs sleeping Meg. Don't worry you and the baby are safe."

I smiled at him and whispered, "Thank you," before tilting my head back sleepily.

Hunter picked me up in his strong arms and carried me back into the living room. He laid me down on the couch and gently covered my body with a warm blanket.

"Get some rest Meg, you've had a rough night." He told me before kissing my forehead. I couldn't help but smile as I snuggled into the plush cushion and fell asleep. It felt good to back in the comfort of my two best friends company however…I couldn't help but wonder…how long this time of happiness would last.
