Chapter 15
After leaving the hospital with an ultrasound picture of their baby, Amelia headed back to the arena. John was in the ring training. Amelia took a seat at the announcers table where Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were going over their stuff for that night.
"You're the new doctor around here aren't you?" Michael asked.
"Yeah. I've been working here for nearly a year now. Where have you been?" Amelia answered.
"Cole here, never goes the to the WWE medics station." Jerry responded. "You're John's wife as well right?"
"Well, if he values his job as much as he values some other people around her, then he will show up for the mandatory testing next Monday." Amelia stated. "Yes, I am John's wife."
"Drug testing time already?" Michael asked.
"Yup and if your last name falls between A and M then next week you are getting tested. Stephanie will be sending out an email in the next few days about it." Amelia answered.
John saw his wife sitting with Jerry and Michael and talking to them. John finished his in ring training before walking over to Amelia. After reaching John's dressing room, Amelia closed and locked the door. Amelia was nervous about telling John and he could tell that something was on her mind.
"Babe, what's wrong?" John asked.
"Nothing is wrong per say. But there is something I have to tell you." Amelia answered.
"What is it?" John asked concerned.
"Stephanie came to me this morning for the women's mandatory testing. I was the first to be tested. She looked at my lab results and found something slightly off from my last testing." Amelia answered.
"Babe, is everything ok? You are really worrying me." John asked.
"Everything is fine. While you were training, I went to the nearest hospital and was checked out." Amelia answered with a smile.
"That's good right. What did the doctor say?" John asked.
"John, I'm 9 weeks and 6 days pregnant." Amelia answered as she handed him the ultrasound picture.
"We're having a baby?" John asked.
"Yes." Amelia answered.
"That is the best news I've heard all day." John responded as he wrapped his arms around her in a hug.
"I'm glad that you are happy. And Isabella is going to be a big sister." Amelia stated with a smile.
"That she is. When do you want to announce the pregnancy to everyone?" John asked.
"Let's wait until I am at least 12 weeks. That way we are in the clear and the risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced." Amelia answered.
"Sounds good to me. And Stephanie knows, so I am assuming there will be someone to help you out from her on out." John responded.
"I think so. I haven't told her how far along I am yet. I wanted to tell you first." Amelia stated.
"Thank you. Why don't you go tell her and see if they can get someone to help you out a bit. I don't want you stressing over stuff that can be avoided." John responded.
"I will. I love you." Amelia stated with a smile.
"I love you too." John responded before kissing her.
Amelia headed off to Stephanie's office to tell her how far into the pregnancy she was and that she needed an assistant to help her out until she had the baby. Stephanie was more than happy to accommodate Amelia's request. Now Amelia and John just had to get through the next two weeks before they could tell their families and friends.
Over the next two weeks, John was right by Amelia's side as was Isabella. She didn't want to leave her mommy's side for anything. Both John and Amelia thought that Isabella knew somehow that Amelia was pregnant. But they wanted to keep it quiet until after they told their parents. Their first stop was Salt Lake City and telling Amelia's family.
"Amelia, come on in. Hello John. There is our big girl." Doreen stated as she opened the front door and let them in. "Are you in town for a show?"
"We are. And we have tickets for everyone." Amelia answered.
"That's great. So what brings you by?" Richard asked.
"We have some good news for you." John answered.
"And what is that?" Richard asked as he looked at his son-in-law.
"Well, John and I are having a baby." Amelia answered.
"What?" Doreen and Richard both asked.
"We are having a baby. I'm 12 weeks pregnant." Amelia answered.
Doreen and Richard exchanged looks with each other before looking at John and Amelia. Isabella was sitting on John's lap and had her head on his shoulder. Amelia waited for her parents to say something. She knew that they hadn't been too thrilled when they told them nearly a year ago that they had gotten secretly married.
