Chapter 27 : No More Doubts
Orlando Hospital
Bobby and Autumn were now in the waiting room of the local hospital in Orlando , Florida . The doctor hadn ' t called Autumn back yet , so , they were still waiting to see what they said about her shoulder . Autumn was fidgeting quite a bit , mostly out of her fear of the hospital .
" Autumn , relax , " Bobby said calmly putting a hand on her knee .
" I ' m sorry , I am just really scared of the hospital , babe . " Autumn said .
" I know , but the sooner we get in the sooner we will be out of here . You have to stay calm though , cause no one will hurt you with me here . " Roode reassured her .
But , what they had failed to notice was the guy in the shadows watching them to make sure know one tried anything on them .
" Autumn Wilder , " The doctor called for her .
" Uhm , can Bobby come with me ? " Autumn asked nervously .
" Yes , of course . " The doctor agreed .
The doctor lead them to a private exam room and told them to have a seat with Bobby sitting in one of the chairs by the wall and Autumn on the exam table . The doctor then exam Autumn ' s hurt shoulder , just like the medic at the Impact Zone , he moved her arm around and pressed in different places on her shoulder to figure out what was wrong . Autumn winced everytime he moved her shoulder or pressed on it .
" I would like to get an X-ray of your shoulder , so , if you would follow me while your friend stays here . " The doctor said .
Autumn gulped at hearing the doctor say that Bobby was not allowed to go with her into the X-ray room , but followed the doctor anyways . Once in the X-ray room the doc took several X-rays of her shoulder and then lead her back into the room with Bobby .
" Okay , you two can wait in here , while I take a look at the X-rays . " The doc said stepping out and closing the door to give the couple privacy .
" You okay ? " Bobby asked .
" Yeah , I ' m good , just wish he would hurry up so we can get out of here . " Autumn said .
" I know , I don ' t like waiting either . " Roode chuckled at her getting impatient .
" You laughing at my expense ? " Autumn asked .
" No , just wondering what you are in a rush to get home for ? " Bobby asked .
" I was hoping for some alone time with you at the apartment tonight . " Autumn giving the Canadian one of her Dark Angel seductive smiles .
" Oh , boy , someone is being naughty . " Roode said .
" Only when I can be naughty with you , dear . " Autumn said making Roode look at her as he smiled at her .
" Would you be able to do that if your shoulder is hurt ? " Bobby asked .
" A monsoon would not stop me from having a good time with you . " Autumn said making him laugh and then straighten up as the doc came back into the room .
" Alright , you have a separated shoulder , but its very minor and shouldn ' t require surgery if you don ' t try anything strenous for the rest of the week . " The doctor said .
" Will I be able to wrestle next Thursday in Tennessee ? " Autumn asked .
" You should be able to just as long as you have it taped up and be cautious over leading up to that pointed . I will rebandage it now for you and give you a sling to support your shoulder in for the week , but take the bandages off before you go to bed tonight . " The doctor said .
" Yes sir , " Autumn said .
" And remember to apply ice to your shoulder every so often for 15 minutes to keep the swelling down . " The doctor added .
" Will do , sir . " Autumn agreed .
Autumn and Bobby were finally allowed to leave the hospital with Autumn ' s shoulder taped up and her arm in a sling to keep her shoulder immoblized and elevated .
Apartment
Bobby pulled up at the apartment with Autumn not long after they left the hospital , when they arrived they saw Fortune , the X-Division Army , Sting , Traci Brooks , Jackie Moore and Harris wait on them to get an update on Autumn ' s condition .
" Well , so much for the alone part . " Bobby said .
" We ' ll take a rain check . " Autumn said .
" Yeah , " Bobby said as they both got out of the car .
" Uh oh , " Daniels whispered seeing Autumn ' s arm in a sling and tape on her shoulder .
" Storm , come here for a minute please . " Bobby said .
" Sure , what do you need ? " James asked .
" Here these are Autumn ' s bags from the Impact Zone would you take them in the apartment for us , so , I can get mine ? " Bobby asked pointing out Autumn ' s bags .
" No problem , bro . " Storm said .
Beer Money took both Bobby and Autumn ' s bags into the apartment where Bobby took them both to Autumn ' s room . On the car ride to the apartment , Bobby and Autumn agreed on Roode staying with her to make sure she didn ' t do further damage to the hurt shoulder .
" So how bad is it ? " Sting asked once everyone was in the living area of Autumn ' s apartment .
" Separated shoulder . " Autumn said .
" Are you going to be able to compete ? " AJ asked .
" Yes , the doc said it was bad enough to require surgery , but for me to not do anything strenous for the week . He also said I should be able to wrestle Thursday as long as I have my shoulder taped up during the match with Gail Kim . " Autumn said .
" Well , the TNA Executives called and said that for your match next week Autumn that no one was allowed at ring side to ensure a fair winner . " Sting said .
" That ' s good news . " Autumn said .
" Hmm , it would be even better if someone would take out Madison Rayne before your match Autumn . " Traci looked at her .
" I feel the same way , " Roode said .
" I ' m not afraid of Rayne or Gail . " Autumn said .
" But , are you going to be able to take her with one arm ? " Harris asked making the others look at him suspiciously except for Sting , Beer Money , and Autumn .
" You sticking up for Gail , Chris ? " AJ asked while Bad Influence glared at the Wildcat .
" No , but lets not forget that Gail Kim use to be valet for AMW , meaning I know what she is capable of by herself and with a one hundred percent healthy opponent , AJ . " Chris said trying to hold back his frustrations at the ones who still didn ' t trust him .
" Guys , Chris has a point , Gail isn ' t a pushover by any means . " James agreeing with Harris .
" So , what would you have me do ? I am not giving up this opportunity just because I bumped my arm or due to the fact that Gail has more experience than I do . I worked to hard to go to this point and I have been through far to much in my past to allow fear to get in the way of me winning the Knockouts Title . I have wanted this since I was a kid and all of the pain and misery I went through as a child will not stand in my way either . So , all of you stop doubting me and don ' t tell me you ' re not because I can see it on everyone ' s face . " Autumn growled she was pissed at them doubting her now especially after Chyna had shown her disapproval of the young Knockout .
Autumn got up and walked out on the balcony of her apartment , she was upset and needed a moment to breath in some freshair . Bobby soon followed her to the balcony to make sure she was okay .
" Autumn , " Bobby said as he approached her carefully . She quickly turned around and buried her face into Bobby ' s chest and started crying hard .
" Why are people doubting me now when I have already been through so much ? " Autumn asked .
" I don ' t know baby , but know I have never doubted you . I just don ' t want you to hurt that shoulder any worse than it already is , Autumn . " Bobby brushing the back of his hand over her cheeks gently .
" I ' m sorry if I worried you during the match with Rayne tonight . " Autumn hugging him the best she could with her good arm .
" Don ' t worry about it , I should have known that you would go high risk , you were trained by Petey Williams . " Roode said leaning in and giving her a kiss .
They heard coughing from the door and turned to see Storm looking at them from the balcony door .
" Are you guys coming back in or are you staying out here all night ? " Storm asked .
" We are coming in . " Autumn said as she and Bobby followed the Cowboy back into the apartment .
Not to long after they had come in from the balcony did Fortune , Sting , the girls and the X-Division leave , Harris was about to follow them but decide to wait back to give Autumn something that would help her to prepare for the match against Gail Kim .
" Harris , what do you need ? " Autumn asked wondering why he hadn ' t left yet , Bobby was looking at him curiously .
" Here , I wanted to give you these . " Chris handing her a bunch of wrestling tapes .
" What are these ? " Autumn asked .
" This is all of the film I have on Gail Kim . I am not going to doubt you , but when facing someone like Gail you have to be prepared for anything . " Chris said Bobby looked between Autumn and Harris .
" Why are you giving me these ? " Autumn asked .
" Consider it a way of saying thank you for giving me a second chance . " Chris said and then left Autumn ' s apartment .
Autumn and Bobby were both looking at the door for a long time and then Autumn looked down at the tapes he had given her .
" He really is trying his best to make amends for what he did . " Bobby said .
" Yeah , and these will help against Gail Kim in the Knockouts Championship match . " Autumn said .
Autumn set the tapes aside for now and had Bobby help her get ready for bed with the sore arm . She put some ice on it before they both went to bed , once she took the ice off she undid the bandages like the doctor told her too .
" Should I put sleep in the sling ? " Autumn asked Bobby .
" Yeah , it will keep it from hurting your shoulder worse . " Bobby said .
" Okay , " Autumn said and put her arm back in the sling .
Finally they both went to bed and quickly went to sleep due to the long day taking its toll on the both of them .
