Chapter Nineteen
I hate hospitals, always have and I always will. But there's something about this hospital where Chris said John and Robyn are, feels like I'm walking into some sort of death bed. I hope it's not that. It's bad enough that I'm guilty for John gettnig hurt. If he died because of his injuries...I couldn't face myself ever again. I look at Chris whose standing next to me and frown, "Do I have to do this?"
"Yes, yes you do. They both deserve to know about this." Chris says, putting a hand on my shoulder. He looks at the nurse, "We're here to see John Cena."
"Are you related to him?" asks the nurse, smiling at us.
"It's okay they're with me," says a voice from behind us. We turn to see Robyn holding Nikki in one arm and a bag of McDonald's food in the other. "I'll lead them back to the room." She leads us through the double doors and smiles, "Good thing John was getting hungry or you guys could have been out there for a while."
"So, John's okay?" I ask.
"He's got a concussion but other than that, miraculously, he's fine. If I didn't know better, he made the doctors tell him a lie while I was there." Robyn smiles, "What are you two doing here though?"
Chris looks at me and then back at Robyn, "We'll talk about it when we're back in the room okay?"
She leads us down the hall and to a room where John is laying on a hospital bed. He's wearing one of those robe things and I can only guess the back is open. If the fan girls could see him now, they'd have a triple fit coronary. "John, Chris and Meghan came by to see you." Robyn smiles.
"I can see them standing right there, I'm not blind ya know?" John laughs, kissing Robyn's cheek and taking Nikki from her instead of the McDonald's bag. "Hows daddy's baby girl?" Nikki coos and he holds her close.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks their baby is the best baby in the world," Chris laughs at me.
I would laugh if I think this occasion called for being light hearted. I just say, "Robyn, John...I have something to admit."
Robyn looks at me, "What is it?"
"I...I knew the Nexus was planning something..." I admit, biting my lip and looking down. "I didn't know it was going to be this but I knew they were planning on doing something..." I dart into my explanation of what went down: not wanting Chris to lose his job, not sure what they were going to do, and even a bit of sympathizing with them at first.
Robyn nods looking at her lap. Then without warning she turns around and punches me in the face. She may not be a diva but she's really, really strong. "You bitch! You could have prevented this! Tell her John!"
It's quiet for a few minutes before John says, "I don't blame you."
Robyn turns, "You don't blame her! John! She could of prevented this! She's the reason your laying in the hospital room right now!"
John shakes her head, "She's not the reason I'm laying in the hospital bed. The Nexus is the reason I'm laying in the hospital bed. From what I heard from her, she had no clue what was going to happen. And she did this all to protect her and Chris' job. I can't say that I would of done the same thing but different people do different things."
I look at John, "So...so you don't blame me?"
John shakes his head, "Not at all. Just...I dunno...try to do the right thing..."
I nod, "I will John." I turn to Robyn, "You ever thought about being a diva? Cuz with a hit like th-"
"John might forgive you but I don't." Robyn curtly says, "I think it's best if you just leave."
I nod, looking upset. "Yeah...yeah I guess it's best if I leave." I turn and leave the room. I sit on a chair on the outside and after a few minutes, Chris walks out of the room.
"See, that wasn't so hard was it?" Chris smiles.
"No," I say, giving him a sarcastic look while I shake my head. "I just got punched in the face by an angry woman, that's all."
"Sorry," Chris says.
"Don't be...I'm just cranky." And I have all reason to be. "Sorry babe. You wanna go pick up Louis?"
He nods, "You can go with me you know."
I smile, "I've got someone I have to talk to, okay?"
"Need me to drop you off wherever you need to go?" Chris asks, smiling at me as I stand up and walk with him out of the hospital.
"I'll catch a cab." I nod.
He smiles and kisses me sweetly. "I love you babe. See you back at the hotel?"
"See you at the hotel."

After about an hour long cab ride, I arrive at my destination. It's a formidable building with lots of windows and lots of cars outside. I've been here before. I remember the first time that Natalya, Tyson, and I came here. It hasn't changed much but then again it's only been a few years. I walk in, the hustle and bustle going on a normal part of working here. I walk to the receptionist after getting to the top floor and smile, "Hello is he busy?"
The receptionist shakes her head, "He's actually on break now if you want to go talk to him."
I nod, "Thanks." And enter the office. He's sitting behind his desk looking formidable.
"What can I do for you Miss Irvine?" he asks.
I gulp back any fear I have and say, "Vince, I want back in the ring."
Vince McMahon, my boss and the man who makes all the decisions smiles, "Meghan it isn't going to be that simple. You know that and I know that."
"I don't care Vince. I want back in that ring."
"Look, give me a few weeks alright. I'll figure out if it's the best move. The diva's division is going good right now and I don't know if throwing you back into the mix will be a good idea," he bluntly says.
"Who said I wanted to fight the divas?"
