The room was spinning as Hadlynn woke up. This situation was far too common for her at this point. She kept her eyes closed, her body still. She heard what sound like male voices in the room, but she couldn't make out what they were saying. She wasn't tied up anymore, or at least she hoped she wasn't. Her left hand was in the grasp of somebody else's.
"Please tell me that I'm dead," Hadlynn whispered to herself as she opened her eyes. Looking to the left, Dean's worried eyes met her tired ones. He smiled at her, rubbing her left hand with both of his.
"Lynns," Dean said, crying lightly. He was gently pushing her hair out of her face. "You're in the hospital. You got hit pretty ha-"
"Is the baby okay," Hadlynn cried out, weakly.
"The baby is fine, but you're very weak. The doctors want to monitor you before they let you go home. You know, you can find out the gender of the baby if you want." Dean continued to rub her hand. She smiled at him.
"I think I'm good, but I could really use my fuzzy blanket." Dean smiled, running over to her bag. When he returned with it, Dean wrapped her body in it. He used the hospital blanket to cover her bottom half. She was covered head to toe in blankets.
"Let's talk," Dean said. "I want you to know that every day, every fucking day that you were gone, I looked for you. I spent days on end trying to create a plan to get you back, and we had one. It didn't really work, though. Anyways, I blamed myself everyday for this. I promised to keep you safe from all harm. I promised that you wouldn't have to worry about you or the baby getting hurt. When... When he hit you, I felt like I was about to die. I let you get hurt."
"Dean," Hadlynn interrupted. She made ro for him to get in the hospital bed with her. He held her on his arms and sat there. "Dean, shut up. You did everything you could. What happened out there was an accident. Don't ever blame yourself for something like that again."
Hadlynn cuddled into him, rubbing her tummy gently. She looked at the doorway, seeing her boyfriend, Ryan, walk in. He had roses, balloons, and a giant teddy bear in his arms. He put them on her nightstand and hugged her passionately. She moved her lips to find his. "Don't you ever leave me like that again, Hadlynn. You nearly gave me a heart attack."
Hadlynn giggled as Dean moved back to his chair, she moved to where he was and reached for his hand as Ryan crawled into bed with her. The signature smile Hadlynn had was plastered on her face. "You guys make everyday better for me."
Hadlynn hung up with Ryan; he was going back to their new home to finish unpacking the bigger furniture and painting the house. Hadlynn already had many visitors throughout the day: Triple H, Roman, almost all of the divas just to name a few. Now, Hadlynn was alone in her room. It was late, close to midnight. Hadlynn was staring out the window when she heard the door open then close. When she turned she saw Seth's face.
"it's me," Seth whispered. Hadlynn started to breathe heavily and opened her mouth to call for help. Seth grabbed both of her arms with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. "Please don't. I'm just here to apologize, okay? I didn't mean to hurt you at all."
Hadlynn stopped struggling, but she continued to stare into his eyes, pleading. "I made a terrible mistake. I didn't mean to hurt you while I had you. I didn't mean any of that. That spear was an accident. Please know that I want to take it back. I want to take it all back. Please."
"Get your hands off of her right now," a voice said from the doorway. Seth pulled Hadlynn into him, hand still over her mouth, as he turned to face him. It was Shawn Michaels standing there. "I'm not going to stay it again. Take your hands off of her. Now."
Seth released her. She hid back into her mountain of blankets, leaving only her face visible. Seth walked out of the room, but not before he said one final thing, "I hope we can still be friends, Hady."
HBK rushed over to Hadlynn's side, holding her close to him. She was crying into his chest. He tried to calm the girl down, telling her jokes, funny stories, everything. After about a half an hour, HBK took a seat at the foot of her bed. She was calm. Tired.
"Do you want me to tell anybody about what happened earlier," Shawn asked. Hadlynn shook her head. "Hey, I won't. I promise. But I do have a question for you. When the baby due?"
Hadlynn giggled. She looked at her chart before she answered. "I thought I was around seven months pregnant, but this little thingy is saying I'm closer to eight. So I'm going to be popping shortly. Why? Are you nervous about being a godfather, Mr. Wrestlemania?"
"No, never! I was just wondering. We never did throw you that baby shower."
"When I'm out, I'll let you guys throw me the biggest baby shower you want. You guys can pick everything out, including guests, and I won't complain at all."
Shawn and Hadlynn laughed for another solid hour before Hadlynn fell asleep in bed. Shawn tucked her in, turned off her light and the television, and sat in the chair to the right of her bed. He pulled out a book and a pair of reading glasses. He continued to look up and smile at Hadlynn while she slept, promising to himself that he'd always protect her.
