Day of Wrestlemania
Ted and Carly walked into the arena silently, but hand in hand. She was happy that Ted's parents agreed to take Alex for the next couple of nights, so she could travel with Ted and figure this whole mess out. "Are you nervous for tonight?" Carly finally asked.
Ted shrugged as they continued walking. "It's really just another match. Unfortunately, I'm not bringing home the title. But, hopefully I will be gaining something instead."
"What's that?" Carly asked.
"You and Alex coming home."
Carly nodded as they walked past the catering area, and she immediately noticed that Randy was sitting there alone. Ted also noticed that she stopped.
"Umm...Ted, you go on ahead. I want to talk to Randy for a second."
Ted only nodded, fully knowing what she was doing. "Ok. My locker room is right around the corner," he said as he kissed her forehead. They exchanged smiles as Ted walked on. Carly then walked into the catering area, and then sat in the empty seat across from Randy who was finishing up his phone call.
"Alright Sam, I need to get going, but I will talk to you soon. Give the kids a kiss for me. I love you. Bye," he said as he hung up the phone. "Carly-long time no see! How are you?"
"I'm doing good. How are you, Sam and the kids?"
"We're doing good, but unfortunately I think Sam is at her wits end right now. Alanna has the flu and Rylee has an ear infection."
"Aw, poor girls!" Carly stated as she took a drink of her ice water she grabbed before sitting with Randy. "Ummm...not to change the subject or anything, but I wanted to talk to you seriously for a second."
"I'm going to guess its about the night you got that picture of Ted and Maryse right?"
Carly smirked as she nodded. "Ted probably told you I would, didn't he?"
"Well, he mentioned it. So...ask me any questions you want."
"What exactly happened that night?"
"We went to the club, and as I was sitting at a table with some of the other guys, I noticed Ted was at the bar, and noticed he was talking with Maryse. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but within a few minutes I saw a look of disgust on his face and he walked toward the EXIT. I followed him back probably not even 15 minutes later, and when I got into our room, he was snoring like a freight train on the bed. And, before you ask, when I left, Maryse was still at the club."
Carly nodded as she took in all the information. "So...Ted's been telling me the truth the whole time, and I basically left him for nothing."
"Yeah basically. Listen, we all keep an eye out for each other while on the road. I just want you to know that you and the baby are all he talks about while we are away. He has always been faithful to you, and you don't have anything to worry about."
"Thanks," Carly replied smiling. "Thank you for all the info you just gave me. You know, I'm not even going to ask Maryse about it."
"I wouldn't," Randy said, shaking his head. "She'll probably try to feed you some bullshit story and cause another rift between you two. You know I would never lie to you. Everything I just told you is the truth."
"Thanks again Randy," Carly said as she stood up and gave her friend a quick hug and began to walk away.
"Your welcome. Oh hey, by the way, I have a quick question for you."
"What is it?" Carly asked as she turned around to face Randy.
"Seriously, how do you sleep when Ted snores like that? If he kept me up half the night, I can't even imagine what you have to go through."
Carly laughed out loud. "He only snores like that when he is pretty drunk, and I sleep on the couch or in the spare room. Otherwise, he's tolerable...but with the occasional poking," she said with a smile on her face. "Thanks again."
Carly then walked down the hall and around the corner like Ted instructed earlier. She quickly knocked on the door, and poked her head through. "Can I come in?"
Ted, who was on the floor doing push ups, looked up and smiled. "Of course you can come in. You don't need to knock and ask."
"Well, I didn't know if you were busy or not," Carly replied as she walked in. She and Ted then sat on the benches, their legs on each side. Both were waiting for the other to start talking.
"Ummm...listen I talked to Randy," Carly started as she began to fidget with her hands. Ted was pretty well the only one who knew that when she messed with her hands meant she was nervous.
"Yeah...how did that go? Did you get a chance to talk to Maryse?" he asked as he grabbed one of her hands. She immediately felt calmer.
"The talk went good, and no I didn't talk to her. I don't need to."
"Yeah?" Ted asked, with a slight smile on his face.
Carly nodded. "Ted, I just want to say-"
They were then interrupted by a knock on the door. "Ted, you have 5 minutes!" one of the stage hands called.
He noticeably groaned, wanting to hear what Carly had to say. "Alright thank you." Ted then turned his attention back to his wife. "Will you walk with me to the curtain?"
"Sure," Carly replied as they walked out of the locker room and down the hall. The curtain was only a short distance, and when they got there, Chris Jericho's music had just started. Ted smirked as they both heard a chours of boo's coming from the fans.
"Have a great match Ted. Be safe," Carly said as she laced her fingers in Ted's. She then did something Ted really wasn't expecting. She leaned foward, and placed a soft kiss upon his lips. "Good luck."
A smile grew across Ted's face as his music also started. "Thanks babe," he replied as he walked out on stage, the fans cheering. He saw Chris roll his eyes as he stepped inside the ring, and the match soon began.
Backstage, Carly and Maria were deep in conversation by the monitor, not really paying attention to Ted's match. As Carly kept talking about how big Alex was getting and how he was beginning to teeth, she noticed Maria's eyes grow wide. "Maria, w-what's up?"
"Umm...Chris just threw Ted out of the ring, and if you look at the replay now, it looks like he landed hard on either his neck or head. He isn't moving."
Carly watched in horror as the replay was on the screen, and ran toward the curtain, where Randy was waiting for his own match. "Randy! Randy!"
Randy turned around and saw his friends running toward him. "Hey Carls, what's going on?"
Carly took a minute to catch her breath. She didn't realize just how fast she was running. "Do you know how Ted's match was supposed to end?" she asked in between breaths.
"Umm...I think Jericho is supposed to get the DDT on him in the ring and cover him. Why, what's up?"
Before Carly could say anything, they both saw a medic team head down to the ring and tend to Ted, while Chris held the belt smugly over his head.
"Oh my God!" Carly whispered, covering her mouth in shock and tears running down her cheeks.
Randy placed a comforting set of hands on his friend's shoulders while they continued to watch the monitor. "Don't worry Carly. I'm sure everything will be fine."
Carly didn't want to wait around for answers, and although technically released from her contract, she ran down to the ring. She could hear the crowd cheer as she kneeled at Ted's side, who was now being transfered on the stretcher. "Ted? Ted? Can you hear me baby?" she asked as they began to walk to the back.
"We are sending him to the hospital Carly," one of the EMT's said as they went through the curtain and headed toward a waiting ambulance. "Do you want to ride along?"
"Absolutely," Carly said right before she climbed in after the stretcher Ted layed on. She then grabbed his hand, and began to cry harder. "Please wake up!"
