The next morning, both Ted and Kourtney were relatively quiet as they waited at the doctor office. Still not feeling the greatest, Kourtney slowly rubbed her temples as she continued filling out paper work. He didn't want to admit it, but Ted was kind of nervous. The thought of having a baby didn't make him nervous, it actually excited him. Especially since he had begun to develop feelings for his pregnant friend. But the thought of doctors and needles petrified the WWE superstar. No one except immediate family knew of Ted's fear, and he intended to keep it like that.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Ted turned to his right, the beautiful sound of Kourtney's voice breaking his thoughts. "Yeah I'm fine. Do you want me to go back there when your name's called?"
Kourtney slowly nodded. "Please? If you don't mind."
He smiled softly, making Kourtney feel instantly better. "Of course I will."
"Thanks. And by the way, thank you for taking care of me last night. I appreciate it," she said softly before turning back to her papers.
Before Ted could respond, a nurse walked into the waiting room. "Kourtney Hammond," she called.
Taking a deep breath, she glanced toward Ted, and they both stood up. They then followed the nurse to the back examination rooms.
"Kourtney, if you would please step on the scale, we need to check your weight." the nurse instructed.
"Ted you can't look," Kourtney joked as she stepped on the scale.
"Come on, you can't weigh that much," he retorted.
After the nurse recorded Kourtney's weight, they walked around the corner and entered a small room.
"Ok, Kourtney I just have a few questions for you before the doctor comes in. First of all, you did take a pregnancy test and it came out positive, correct?" she asked as Kourtney nodded. "When was your last period?"
"It was the beginning of November. When it didn't come in the middle of December, that is when I realized that a pregnancy was possible."
"Ok. Now, I just need you to do a urine sample. The bathroom is right outside the door, and when your done, you can just leave the cup in there. I will pick it up."
Kourtney nodded as she stood. "I'll be right back," she said before winking at Ted.
Several minutes later, Kourtney returned and re-claimed her seat next to Ted. "So, what are you thinking right now?" she finally asked.
He shrugged. "A lot of things are going through my mind at once. I'm excited about this pregnancy, but then again I'm nervous all at the same time. What about you? What are you thinking?"
"The same. A lot of things are going through my mind too. I'm nervous too, and I can't decide what to do about John."
Ted scrunched his face. "What do you mean, do about John?"
She shrugged. "I really haven't talked to him lately, and I guess you can't classify us as still being together. I think it's just best for all of us involved if we break up. But, I have to tell him that," she smirked.
Before Ted could respond, a tall blonde woman entered the room. "Hi Kourtney," she said cheerfully, extending her hand. "My name is Dr. Rollen."
"Hi, nice to meet you."
"And you must be the father?" Dr. Rollen smirked as Ted nodded.
"Yes, I'm Ted."
"It's nice to meet you as well Ted," she exclaimed as she sat at a small table in the room and started flipping through pages. "So, I just got the results back of your pregnancy test, and it did come back positive," she explained as Ted and Kourtney glanced at each other. "Was positive an expected answer?"
"Yes. I would have been more surprised if you would have said the test was negative," Kourtney said.
Dr. Rollen nodded. "Now calculating from your last menstrual cycle, your due date is August 2nd. I am also going to give you papers on becoming a first time mommy, a prescription for prenatal vitamins and information about adoption or abortion, if you choose to go that route."
Kourtney refused those papers. "Thank you, but I don't need them. I want to keep the baby."
"That's good to hear. I'm glad," Dr. Rollen smiled. "Now would you like to take a look at your baby for the first time?"
Both Ted and Kourtney nodded as the doctor disappeared for a moment, but only to return with a sonogram machine. She then instructed Kourtney to lay on the examination table, and lift her shirt up just under her bra line.
Dr. Rollen then squirted the cold gel on Kourtney's belly, and within moments moving her machine around, trying to get a picture. Moments later, the doctor stopped and froze the screen.
"Ok, do you see that dark dot right there?" she asked as Ted and Kourtney both nodded. "That is your baby."
"That's our baby," Kourtney repeated as a big smile spread to her face. "Wow!"
Ted smirked. "Yeah, wow."
After they left the doctor office, Ted and Kourtney were silent as she drove back to her house, sonogram pictures in hand. "So, you've been kind of quiet since we left the doctor office. Are you ok?" Kourtney finally asked as she kept driving.
"I'm sorry, and to answer your question yes I'm fine. I mean, I was growing more and more excited about the pregnancy, but just seeing the sonogram and seeing that there was really something in your belly…it made it all real."
"It did make everything real," Kourtney agreed. "But are you changing your mind about everything?"
"No of course not," Ted exclaimed. "I told you that I was going to be with you from the start, and that is what I intend on doing. I don't want to miss out on anything."
Kourtney silently breathed a sigh of relief. "Good," she smiled. "So, do you want a boy or a girl?"
He shrugged. "I don't know, and I don't think it really matters. Just as long as the baby is healthy."
"I totally agree," she said as they pulled into the driveway.
"After all, whether the baby is a superstar or diva, I will still have my 4th generation wrestler!"
Kourtney laughed out loud. "Your fourth generation wrestler?"
Ted nodded. "Yeah! We have to carry on the family tradition!" he said with a cheesy smile.
"Ok, if you say so!"
Several days past, and once again Ted and Kourtney were back on the road with the WWE. They walked into the arena in Chicago together, making some people whisper. But they didn't care. If people wanted to gossip, let them. As long as they and their friends knew the truth, that was all that mattered.
"So, I've been wondering, how long are you going to work in your pregnancy?" Ted asked as he walked Kourtney to the make up area.
She shrugged. "If I am lucky enough to have an easy pregnancy, I would like to do it until I'm a couple of months away from delivery. Why do you ask?"
"I was just curious," Ted said. "Are you going to come back to work after the baby is born?"
Kourtney sighed as they reached the make up area, and she set the heavy bag down on the floor. "I would like to and I'm sure I could bring the baby with me, but that will just get to be too much after awhile. I may not come back, and just try and find something around my hometown."
"How will I see the baby?"
"We can come and visit, and plus you can come to Texas and visit us. It will all get worked out, I promise."
Before Ted could say anything more, he and Kourtney both noticed John walking toward them. "Kourt, can I please speak to you? Alone?"
Ted nodded. "I have a meeting soon with Stephanie anyway. We'll talk later, Kourtney."
"Alright. Bye," she waved. Kourtney then turned her attention back to her boyfriend. "What's going on John?"
"In the last several weeks by myself, I have realized something. I have been an ass over the last several months, and my actions literally drove you into Ted's arms. Your right, I have been ignoring you and I guess I just took for granted that you would always be there."
"What are you trying to say John?"
"Baby, I want to work on our relationship. I still love you and I will do whatever it takes to have you back with me. I will take you to Hawaii, I will take you to Paris if I have to. I just want you mine again."
"John, the material things don't matter to me. I just want to know that I matter to you, and that I'm important to you. I want to know that I come first before your career. I was never interested in the material things you or anyone else could give me."
"I know, I know. Listen, how about after Raw tonight we just take off? Let's go somewhere and just spend the weekend together, you and me. Hell, we could even go to Hawaii now I don't care. I just want to show you how sorry I am and show you how much you really do mean to me."
"John, that's very sweet and I wish I could, but I have already made plans for this week. I'm going to Mississippi."
"Mississippi? Why?" he asked, scrunching his face.
"That is where Ted is from, and he wants me to meet his family. So, I agreed."
"He wants you to meet his family? Why? You guys aren't even freaking dating," John exclaimed.
"That may be true John, but I am pregnant with his child! They want to meet the mother of their future grandchild."
He shook his head in disgust. "So, you would rather go to Mississippi than spend a week in Hawaii with me?"
"I didn't say that. If it was any other week I would consider it, but I've already made plans. You know, if you want us to work out so bad then you have to accept the fact that he's going to be in my life because of this baby. He has that right, and I'm not going to take it away from him."
"Ok fine," he said calmly before taking a deep breath. "We will just go another time, hopefully sometime soon. I want you to have lots of fun in Clinton. What did the doctor say about the baby?"
Kourtney was taken back by John all of sudden being nice. She didn't understand it, but didn't want to argue about it at the moment. "She just said that everything looked good so far, and that I'm due August 2nd. I'm about 6 weeks."
John nodded. He then took another step, closing the gap between himself and Kourtney and softly kissed her. Although she didn't want to admit it, Kourtney did miss the feeling of John's kiss. Moments later, Ted was walking down the hall, intending to go toward his locker room when he noticed the mini reunion and was crushed.
Just then, Kourtney pulled back slightly and broke the kiss. "Have fun," John said once again as he backed away. "I will talk to you soon."
