I want to thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter! You guys are truly the best!

2 very long days passed for both Ted and Kourtney as it was now a cold Thursday morning in mid-January. Kourtney hadn't been feeling well that morning, and was still in bed flipping through the television channels. She really honestly missed Ted.

He had also kept his promise, and that meant a lot. Ted had called as soon as he landed in Mexico and also called and/or texted several times over the last couple of days. With Kourtney being sick that morning, it also gave her a lot of time to think about things, including John.

John also had the week off, obviously due to being on the same show as Ted and Kourtney. He kept calling his former girlfriend non-stop, and texting her even more. As the pregnant brunette settled on Keeping Up With the Kardashians on E! Network, her phone went off with another text. She groaned out loud when she saw it was from John yet again.

Baby, I miss you and I want to explain myself. PLEASE call me!

Kourtney just flipped her phone shut and slammed it on the night stand. As she began to rub her tired eyes, her phone began to ring. "He just will not get the hint!" she exclaimed out loud as she grabbed it.

"What?" she growled, not looking at the caller id.

There was silence for a second and then Kourtney realized her caller wasn't John. "I'm sorry, did I call at a bad time?"

It was Ted, and Kourtney instantly felt bad.

"I'm sorry Ted, but I thought you were John. He has not left me alone at all the past few days."

"Has he been bothering you?"

"Kind of. He's just calling and texting wondering why I won't listen to him explain himself. It's just added to my day."

"Why what's the matter?"

"I'm not feeling well and actually still in bed as we speak."

"Aw I'm sorry," Ted said as he got comfortable on his hotel room bed. "I'll tell you what, when I get home and see you next week I will make sure you are comfortable and waited on hand and foot. How does that sound?"

Kourtney giggled. "That sounds perfect. I can't wait for the first trimester to pass. It's the worst."

"I wouldn't know because I've never been pregnant," Ted joked. "Listen I hate to cut this short but Kofi and I are going to grab some lunch before our signing. I promise to call you later, ok?"

"Ok that's fine. I think I will try and take a nap. I'll talk to you soon."

Even though she couldn't see, Ted nodded. "Alright sounds good. Bye."

"Bye," Kourtney said as she hung up the phone.

Just as her eyes were closed, Kourtney heard her front door slam shut. She scrunched her eyebrows as she tried and sat up. "Kourt, are you home?"

She breathed a sigh of relief. It was just Kara. "Hey Kara. I'm upstairs in my room."

As she heard noise from downstairs, Kourtney's stomach ache got worse and worse. By the time Kara made her way upstairs, it wasn't a stomach ache anymore-she felt as if she was cramping.

"Kourtney are you ok?" Kara asked as she rushed to her sister's side.

Through tears, she could only shake her head. "My stomach hurts so bad!" she cried. As Kara contemplated on what action to take next, Kourtney felt a little liquid in between her legs. Her eyes widened as she looked down at her bed.

"Kara, I think we need to get to the hospital."

The elder sister looked toward the spot Kourtney was talking about and saw the same small pool of blood. "Come on, I'll drive," she stated as she helped Kourtney out of bed.

Kara had a hard time getting her sister out of bed because of the bad stomach cramps, and Kourtney could barely walk. Not wasting a minute longer, she then decided to call an ambulance.

It only took a few minutes after the initial call was placed that the sisters began to hear the faint sounds of sirens.

"Kara, I don't want to lose this baby," Kourtney stated through tears as she rolled on her side.

"Your not going to," she replied, trying to sound convincing. "I can already hear the sirens. The ambulance is going to be here soon."

Kourtney could only nod as the noise got louder, and Kara left her sister for only a moment to meet them outside. To the make up artist, it felt like an eternity but finally heard voices from downstairs and soon the EMT's were whisking her away toward the hospital.

Kara immediately followed them in her car and silently prayed along the way. Luckily she grabbed her Kourtney's cell phone and after calling their parents, decided she needed to call Ted. Once she was parked, Kara was pointed to the appropriate waiting room. She took a seat and after waiting another moment, Kara looked through her sister's contacts. There was only one entry with the name Ted's cell, and hoped it was the Ted she was looking for.

She pressed send, and her legs began to bounce up and down as Kara waited. Finally, right before the call would have went to voicemail, a man's voice answered.

"Hey it's only been like an hour! Did you miss me already?" Ted smirked.

Kara didn't know what to say. "This is Ted DiBiase, right?"

Just by the sound of the voice, Ted didn't know who's voice he was speaking with. By his facial expression, Kofi knew something was up. "Yes, this is Ted. Who is this?"

"Ted this is Kara Hammond, Kourtney's sister. Am I calling at a bad time?"

He instantly knew something was wrong. Otherwise, why would his hopeful girlfriend's sister be calling him…on her sister's phone? "No, it's not a bad time at all. Is everything ok Kara?"

"Ummm…I got to the house not too long after you hung up with Kourt, and as I climbed the stairs I could see she was doubled over in pain. I kept asking her what was the matter and then she looked down on the bed. Ted, she was spotting."

"Kara, I'm going to sound like a complete ass right now but I know nothing about pregnancies. Is spotting bad?"

"Yeah, that can be a sign of miscarriage."

Ted's eyes widened and took a deep breath. "How is she now? Is she and the baby ok?"

"I don't know. I still haven't heard from the doctor," Kara explain as she glanced toward the door.

"Listen, when you see her tell her I am on my way. I will get to the hospital ASAP," Ted said as he hung up.

As Kara ended the call, she heard someone clear their throat and when she looked up, she noticed a doctor standing before her. "Are you Kourtney Hammond's sister?" he asked.

"Yes I am," Kara nodded as she also stood up. "Is she and the baby ok?"

"Was Kourtney under any extreme stress over the last few days?"

Kara thought for a second. She did know that the night before Kourtney was complaining that John kept calling and texting. "Well I know she's been having problems with her ex-boyfriend while being sick with this pregnancy."

The doctor nodded. "When we took Kourtney's blood pressure, it was through the roof and our first reaction was to find out if stress was involved. Now that I know that, the baby may have also been feeling her stress and therefore cramping because of it."

"So is the baby ok?"

"Yes, Kourtney and the baby will be just fine. We were able to stop the bleeding and the cramping has subsided. She is resting comfortably, and I do want to keep her over night just for observation but Kourtney should be released in the morning."

Kara nodded. "Thank you so much doctor."

"Your welcome, and when Kourtney is released I don't want her around stress for a good couple of weeks, or at least till she's feeling better. She is to have a lot of rest and a stress free environment around her. I can not stress that enough."

"Don't worry, we will make sure of it. May I see her?"

"Sure, Kourtney is in room 202," the doctor nodded.

After speaking with the doctor for a few more minutes, Kara went through the double doors and turned to the left and headed toward the appropriate room. She quietly poked her head through the big heavy door and instantly noticed Kourtney was awake, lightly rubbing her belly.

"Hey," she said.

Kourtney looked in the direction of the door and instantly smiled. "Hey Kara. Have you talked to the doctor?"

She nodded as she sat down at the edge of the bed. "Yes I did, and you and the baby will be fine. He just wants to keep you for observation over night, but you should be released tomorrow morning. After that, you need a lot of rest and no stress for the next week or so. Or at least until your feeling better!"

Kourtney lightly smiled. "I will definitely listen, I promise. I guess I should call Ted…oh shit, I don't have my phone."

Just then, Kara tossed the phone to her sister. I actually grabbed it as the paramedics were strapping you to the stretcher. And I already called him."

"You did? Did he answer?" Kourtney asked.

Kara nodded. "Yeah, and he told me to tell you that he will be here ASAP."

"Well, I will believe it when I see it," Kourtney said as her eyes began to flutter, eventually falling asleep.

All afternoon Kara stayed by her sister's side as she rested, and every once in awhile looked toward the door. She only hoped that Ted could make it, after all it was his baby too. But from the way Kourtney talked, he was in Mexico and didn't know if he could get away. And if he could, she didn't know how long it would take.

Early evening settled in, and Kourtney was still resting. Kara was beginning to get hungry, but didn't want to leave her sister's side. As she settled in and began to read a magazine she had already read once before, Kara heard the wooden door slowly open. Expecting it to be another doctor, she didn't look up.

"Hi Kara," Ted whispered as he walked closer.

Her head instantly shot up and smiled toward him. "Hey!"

"How is Kourtney? Is she and the baby ok?" he asked as he took off his jacket.

She nodded, making Ted smile. "Yes, Kourtney and the baby are ok. With the stress of John and catching him with Melina made her start cramping and the baby felt it. She is just being held for observation, but should be released tomorrow morning. When she gets home, she is to relax as much as possible and not be around any kind of stress. The doctor gave her a week or so and should gain her strength back."

Ted breathed a sigh of relief. "That's awesome to hear. Thanks a lot for being here with her."

"That's what sisters are for," Kara said as she quickly hugged Ted. "Listen, I'm beat and pretty hungry. If you don't mind, I am probably going to take off for the night. Will you tell Kourt that I will be back first thing in the morning?"

"Sure not a problem. And thanks again for everything today."

Not even a half hour later, Kourtney woke up and instantly knew she had been out for several hours. Her first glance was the outside windows and could see the sun setting. As she turned toward her left, the sight before her was an un-expected one. Kourtney was sure she would see Kara sitting with her. But instead she saw Ted, passed out in the chair next to her. She truly didn't believe he would come. Kourtney then reached over and grabbed his hand, squeezing it lightly. Ted woke up from the touch.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."

"There's a lot worse I can be woken up from," Ted smirked as he moved from his chair to the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better now that I've rested. I hate to admit this, but I didn't know if you would come or not after Kara told me she called."

"Of course I would come. Kourt, you are having my baby and both of you were in trouble. There isn't any other place I would have rather been."

Kourtney's eyes filled up with tears as Ted gently kissed her forehead. "You have no idea how much that means to me."

The following Monday, John walked the arena halls feverishly. He was bound and determined to find Kourtney and make her listen to his side of the story. He was determined to make her his once again. As he found the make up area, something struck him. Kourtney wasn't there. As the Shaman of Sexy checked his watch, the show was scheduled to start in two hours. She should have been here by now.

"You aren't going to find Kourtney. She isn't here."

John turned around and was now face to face with Ted, who looked very upset. "And why isn't Kourtney here?"

Ted shook his head. "I'm not going to tell you, that isn't your business. I just want to make one thing perfectly clear. You need to accept the fact that it's over. You fucked up and messed around with Melina behind Kourtney's back, and John you have no idea what you had in front of you. Kourt is amazing and incredible-"

"I know that dumb ass," John interrupted.

"I wasn't finished talking," Ted said firmly. "You made your bed and now you have to lay in it. Kourtney doesn't want anything to do with you anymore, and if you stress her out like you have been…well let's just say I will rip you apart in and out of the ring. Now do us all a favor, and leave her alone!" Ted exclaimed, walking away.

After a short match with R-Truth, Ted quickly showered and got dressed. He got asked to hang out with the guys or to a local bar, but declined both invitations. There was something more important waiting for him at the hotel.

As he drove, his mind began to wonder to the day Kourtney was released from the hospital. She wanted to stay with him, and after some convincing, Ted agreed. But she had to stay at the hotel and take it easy. When it came to John, she decided to also change her cell phone number and block his completely. She and Ted also decided to go back to his place in Mississippi and relax once the taping was finished for the week.

Once at the hotel, Ted walked swiftly toward the room he shared with Kourtney and as he opened the door couldn't help but chuckle. There was the woman he dreamed about all his life sitting in bed as promised reading a book. When Kourtney looked up, she returned his smile.

"Hey! I'm so glad your back," she exclaimed.

"Did you miss me that much?" Ted sarcastically asked as he locked the door and set his luggage down next to Kourtney's.

"It's been so quiet in this room by myself. Of course I missed you!"

Ted laughed as he grabbed some pajamas and headed toward the bathroom. "I'm going to change. You know we never did figure out sleeping arrangements since the hotel gave us one bed."

"You can have the bed and I'll sleep in the chair," Kourtney called as she put her book away.

"No way! Your recovering. I'll take the floor and you can have the bed."

Kourtney sighed as she patted the spot next to her. "Ted, we're kind of dating and we've seen each other naked. Will you please just get into bed next to me?"

"Are you sure?" he asked, walking closer.

She nodded. "Yes I am sure."

Ted didn't say anything as he laid down on the empty half of the bed next to the girl someday he would call his girlfriend. The girl that snuggled into his side was so amazing, caring and beautiful and he never wanted to let her go. To Ted, this was a perfect night.

"Good night baby," he said and then taking a deep breath when he realized what he just said.

Kourtney looked up and raised an eyebrow. "You called me baby."

He nervously nodded. "Yeah I guess I did. Is that ok?"

Feeling all of a sudden bold, Kourtney scooted closer and softly kissed Ted. "No need to be nervous! It's definitely ok," she said as she resumed her spot in Ted's arms. He then kissed the top of her head, got comfortable and soon fell asleep along with Kourtney, wrapped in each other's arms.
