Garrett and Rosalyn awoke around the same time, both wrapped in each other's arms. She gazed up at him and smiled, which caused him to smile too. He noticed the space between their faces and leaned forward to bridge the gap. Rosalyn lifted her chin and connected their lips gently. Both of them broke apart after a few moments. Garrett stroked her hair and admired her beauty as she cuddled into his chest.
"I guess we should get up now." Garrett sighed.
"Not yet." Rosalyn shook her head and sighed.
"Your dad will be waiting for me to leave." Garrett replied.
"I want you to stay with me." The blonde pouted a little.
"I'll be back." The young man smiled.
He climbed out of the bed and held his arms outstretched for Rosalyn to get out of bed. She flinched at the stiffness of her battered ribs and back. Garrett frowned and gently lifted her baggy t-shirt to see the extent of the bruising. He took a sharp intake of breath as he saw the angry purple bruises that covered the blonde's body. Rosalyn pulled the t-shirt back down and smiled with some slight discomfort.
"Come on." Garrett said as he took her hand.
They walked downstairs and found Bailey preparing some breakfast. She looked up and smiled when she saw the duo walk into the room. They took seats at the table and looked at the food, which Bailey had been preparing. Rosalyn's mother smiled at her and placed the plates on the table in front of her and Garrett.
"I thought you might be hungry." Bailey smiled at them.
"Thanks." Garrett nodded.
"Thanks mom." Rosalyn smiled and started eating her breakfast.
"Where is everyone?" Garrett asked.
"Eric's gone to school and Ted's gone out with your dad." Bailey replied.
"Has he gone to see John?" Rosalyn asked.
"I'm not sure." Bailey shrugged.
"I'll see dad when I get home." Garrett told her.
"Do you have to leave?" Rosalyn asked him.
"I'll come back later, if that's ok?" he looked at Bailey.
"That's fine." She nodded.
Ted and Cody were in Ted's car on their way to pay someone a visit. That someone was John Cena. Cody suspected that he would probably be on his way back from the gym by now, so they drove to his house and waited. After about fifteen minutes one of John's flashy cars pulled into the drive with him in the driver's seat. He turned off the engine and got out of the car. Ted and Cody got out of their car and walked to meet John.
"Hey Ted, Cody." He nodded.
"I think you know why I'm here…" Ted frowned.
"Rosalyn?" John raised a brow.
"What your son did to her." Cody added.
"You guys better come in." John nodded and walked towards the house.
Ted and Cody followed him into the house, which was quite modern. John motioned for them to take a seat on one of the long leather sofas. He took a seat himself and sighed as he tried to think of what to say. Ted's face was set in a stern frown as he eyed the movements of John. Cody was looking at John with a certain curiosity. He wondered what kind of excuse John could possibly have for his son's brutal attack on Rosalyn.
"I know what Tommy did because I saw it with my own eyes." John began.
"Thankfully you put a stop to it." Cody added.
"I did. I was glad I got there when I did, before he…" John broke off.
"Before he what?" Ted asked.
"John?" Cody frowned.
"When I arrived he was about to rape her." John sighed.
"What?" Cody asked in disbelief.
"I'll kill him." Ted hissed angrily.
"The main thing is that he didn't do it." John reasoned.
"No, but he would have." Ted replied.
"He won't do it again." John told him.
"This isn't about a football through a window. He hurt my daughter, seriously." Ted frowned.
Garrett had already gone home to shower and change. Bailey helped her daughter to have a wash, avoiding her painful ribs. Rosalyn stood as her mother helped her into some pink sweatpants and a baby blue t-shirt that was a couple of sizes too big. Bailey went to get something from the kitchen, while Rosalyn watched the TV in the living area. She tried not to watch any comedy, as any laughing made her ribs hurt even more than they already did.
Bailey folded the laundry as she hummed absently to the radio and looked out to the beautiful sea view. It made her think of when she had first came here with Ted. This house was where she had discovered that she was pregnant with Rosalyn. A thud in the other room drew her from her thoughts as she threw the laundry down into the basket. Bailey gasped in horror as she saw her daughter collapsed on the floor. She ran over to her and cradled her body, stroking her face in an attempt to wake her. It was no use, so she grabbed the phone and dialled an ambulance.
Ted and Cody were still having a heated conversation with John, when Ted's cell phone rang. He sighed and glanced at the caller ID. It was Bailey, so he answered the call and greeted his wife. Cody and John both frowned as Ted's expression dropped and he quickly stood up. He nodded a few times before muttering a goodbye and hanging up.
"That was Bailey. Rosalyn's collapsed. They're on their way to the hospital." Ted fretted.
"Come on, I'll drive." Cody said, taking Ted's car keys.
"I hope she's ok." John called after them.
Garrett had just gotten dressed after his shower, when he heard his mother talking to someone on the phone. She sounded upset; so he went down to see her. The moment her entered the room he felt that something was wrong. Phoebe turned and saw him. She said goodbye to the person on the phone and hung up.
"That was your dad. He's on his way to the hospital. Rosalyn's collapsed." She told him.
"What, when?" Garrett fretted.
"Not long ago." She replied.
"I have to go see her." He said.
"She's unconscious." Phoebe shrugged.
"I just need to be able to see her." He said as he left the house.
When he arrived at the hospital, Garrett met his father and Ted, who were on their way into the building. Bailey waved them over and hugged her husband tightly. Garrett looked at his father, who gave him a sympathetic look and patted him on the shoulder. A doctor walked up behind Bailey and greeted her.
"I'm Dr. Bryce. I have just examined Rosalyn. Unfortunately, it appears that a blood clot may have gone unnoticed and she has now fallen into a coma after it damaged the oxygen to her bloodstream." He explained.
"Will she wake up?" Bailey asked.
"We can only wait and see." Dr. Bryce shrugged.
"Can we see her?" Ted asked.
"Two at a time." He nodded.
"You and Bailey go first." Garrett nodded at Ted.
"Thanks." Ted nodded as he and Bailey went into their daughter's hospital room.
