Chapter 19 - I just hope he still loves me!
Kate and Randy had been busy over the last few days they were moving in to their new home. Randy and Kate went to Chicago and packed up the rest of her stuff. Kate was standing in her room which was basically empty. When her little sister Georgie came in.
Georgie: So you're really moving out?
Kate: Yeah... I know this sucks for you. .
Georgie: Yeah. Can I have your room?
Kate laughed: Yes you can have my room... why what's wrong with your room?
Georgie: Yours is bigger and it's red and black. Mine's pink.
Kate: Enjoy it kid.
Georgie: So are you really going to have a baby?
Kate: Mom told you?
Georgie: Yeah I heard her telling Grandma that you were having a baby.
Kate: Mom told Grandma too.
Georgie: Yeah... why didn't you tell me?
Kate: Honey it's just still early we really haven't told anyone.
Georgie: So this means I am going to be an Aunt right?
Kate: Right!
Georgie: That is so cool.
Kate smiled as she hugged her sister. Randy came back in the room after taking the last box down to the truck.
Randy: You about ready?
Kate: Yeah.
Georgie smiled: Randy did you know that I am going to be an Aunt?
Randy laughed: Yeah I did. Are you excited?
Georgie: Oh yeah... not sure what an Aunt does really but I will be the best one.
Randy: That you will G!
Kate hugged her family and then Randy and Kate headed home to St. Louis. As they were driving they talked about Wrestlemania and how they would both be busy in the coming weeks, Randy with appearances and Kate with the special Wrestlemania Addition magazine. About an hour into the trip - Kate was singing and dancing to the radio. Randy could tell that she was feeling a better he loved watching her even if she looked like a dork he didn't care. She was happy and carefree he loved the way she sang and danced. Then Lady antebellum - I run to you came on and Kate began to sing she placed her hand on his knee he smiled as grabbed her hand and put it up to his lips for a kiss.
Kate smiled: Randy?
Randy: Yeah?
Kate: I'm hungry.
Randy: Yeah? You wanna stop some where?
Kate: Yes.
Randy: What do you want... I'll take the next exit anything you want.
Kate: You know what sounds really good ...
Randy: What?
Kate: A Big Mac... ohhh and a shamrock shock. Those are still out right?
Randy: Really? We never eat at McDonald's are you sure?
Kate: oh yeah.
Randy: Alright.
Randy took the next exit. They went into eat so they could rest before so Randy could stretch his legs before the rest of the drive. Kate loved when Randy would toss on a baseball cap hoping no one would notice. But someone usually always did. Most of the time he didn't really mind stopping for a picture or two. Kate smiled as she carried the food over to a table while Randy was over talking with some kids who had noticed him. Kate saw how good he was with them and knew that Randy would make a great father to their baby. Randy finally came over to the table and they began to eat.
Randy sat there and watched Kate eat ... she usually hates fast food but she was going to town on the burger she had eaten all of her fries and even stole some of Randy's.
They were now back on the road and only had about an hour left of the drive. When Kate got a sudden nausea feeling.
Kate: Randy.
Randy: Yeah babe?
Kate: I don't think baby like's McDonald's.
Randy looked over at Kate who was looking a little sea sick. .
Kate: Pull ... Over... Randy.
He did and as soon as the truck was stopped Kate jumped out and was getting sick on the side of the road. Randy jumped out as she was bent over getting sick... he was right by her side. Rubbing her back.
Randy: McDonald's wasn't the best idea huh.
Kate: You think.
Randy went to the truck and got her a bottle of water. They were on the side of the road for about 15 minutes before Kate felt well enough to continue. She ended up falling asleep with her head against the window. As Randy drove he would glance over at Kate ... he couldn't help wonder if this was normal. She had been fine all day and then bam she was sick and miserable again. He hoped that this wasn't anything to serious. They finally made it home. He carried Kate up to bed and he unloaded the boxes from the truck. Kate ended up sleeping all night.
Then next Morning - when she woke up Kate showered and got dressed for the day and began to go through all the boxes and unpack.
Randy: Look at you feeling better?
Kate: Yeah much. Thanks for yesterday taking care of me. I know this can't be easy for you.
Randy: For me? I'm not the one who's throwing up all the time this can't be easy for you babe. Do you want breakfast?
Kate: No... still not feeling that great for food. But let's start unpacking and maybe we can go out for dinner if I don't get sick between now and then?
Randy: Sounds like a plan. But hey how about you unpack that box first.
Kate: Why?
Randy: Please?
Kate: Alright.
Kate walked over to the box Randy hand pointed at she didn't recognize it as she opened it she was surprised. She pulled out a couple of baby oneies... one that said "I love my mommy". The other said "I am proof my mommy put out".
Kate laugh: Really Randy you think I put out?
Randy: I don't think baby I know. Keep looking.
Then she pulled out a pregnancy journal and a new camera.
Randy: I thought that we should start documenting everything.
Kate smiled: Really? Randy this is amazing.
Randy took the camera: Let's start now follow me.
Kate and Randy walked up the stairs and down the hall to the room that would possible be the baby's room they Randy opened the door there was a brand new rocking chair in there.
Randy: I thought you would like it.
Kate smiled as she kissed Randy: I love it.
She sat down in the chair and Randy took a picture.
Randy: I just wanted you to know that I love you and I love our baby and I can't wait to meet him.
Kate laughed: So it's a boy?
Randy: I hope so. But you know I like the idea of having a daddy's little girl.
Kate: Randy I love you so much.
Randy: I love you too.
They kissed again... he then took a picture of her in front of a sign that he had made that said 8 weeks.
Over the next several hours they were busy unpacking and getting their house organized. They stopped long enough to eat take out then finished up. Randy was in what they called his man cave while Kate was in the living room... she went to lift one of the boxes ... when she felt a sever cramp run though her entire body... she clenched her stomach and buckled over in pain. The pain seemed to be getting worse.
Kate: RANDY! AAHHH!
Randy's POV: I was in my man cave as Kate calls it setting up my Xbox and putting away some of the games and this is also the room where I have all of my WWE stuff. When I heard a sound that made my heart stop and fear consumed me in that moment as I heard Kate screaming my name it sound like she was in pain. I bolted from the room and ran to the living room she was in tears buckled over in pain.
Randy: Kate... what's wrong? Babe?
Kate: Randy...ahhh somethings wrong... ahhh!
I scooped her in my arms and rushed her to the car. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital nothing else matter in that moment nothing except Kate and our baby. What the hell was going on.
Kate: AHHH! Randy! I'm scared.
Kate was trying to talk through the pain.
Randy: Everything will be fine.. baby... Stay calm!
I noticed that she was starting to go in and out of consciousness. I softly grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Randy: Stay awake baby... please... Stay with me!
I pulled up at the hospital and I carried her in to the ER ... I couldn't tell whether I was screaming or what I just wanted to get her some help!
Finally a few nurses and doctors came up to us and they had me put her on a stretcher.
Randy: Please help her she's 8 weeks pregnant. Please.
Nurse: Alright sir. We will help her. You just need to stay calm for us alright. A nurse will be with you in a minute so you can fill out paper work.
Randy was pacing when a nurse came up to him and handed him a scrub shirt.
Randy: What's this for?
Nurse: I thought you might want to change and get cleaned up?
Randy looked down, he hadn't noticed the blood on his shirt until then. His heart sank ... he didn't know much but he knew deep down that wasn't good for Kate or their baby. He nodded and headed to the bathroom and washed off and changed his shirt. He was so frustrated in that moment that he ripped the paper towel holder off the wall and tossed it to the other side of the bathroom. He took a few deep breaths and walked back out to the nurses station where she handed him some paper work to fill out. He filled out as much as he could. He finally called his parents but he didn't know what to say to them. Elaine called Kate's parents when they arrived at the hospital because Randy just could ... well wouldn't talk to anyone. He sat with his head in his hand waiting for what seemed like years for any word on Kate.
A few hours later the doctor finally came in.
Doctor: Mr. Orton?
Randy: Yeah? How is Kate ... How is the baby?
Doctor: Ms. Monroe is young and healthy and will make a full recovery!
Randy interrupted: I don't understand what that means?
Doctor: Unfortunately we weren't able to save the pregnancy. I am so sorry for you lose ... she lost the baby!
Randy stood there ... not moving... was he angry or sad.
Randy: What the hell happened Why? She was fine this morning ... we thought it was just morning sickness. What the hell happened?
Doctor: Sadly sometimes these things happen without any warning signs... we did have to perform a D&C to prevent infection.
Randy just stood there stunned Bob pulled him into a hug and watched as his son began to cry and at the loss of his child.
Randy: I want to see her NOW!
Doctor: Yes Of course... this way.
Randy' POV: I couldn't believe what I was hearing... our baby was gone... and Kate was in the hospital... how did this happen life was perfect this morning we were talking about our baby and now this what the hell? I was walking next to the doctor when he took me into her private room she laid there so helpless and pale!
Randy: Does she know?
Doctor: No... she hasn't woken up... If you would like when she wakes up have the nurse page me and I will come and tell her!
I knew that would be the chicken shit thing to do make some stranger tell her our baby was gone. I didn't want to tell her but I knew I needed to be the one to do it.
Randy: Can I do it... I think it would be better coming from me?
Doctor: Of course Mr. Orton... I called her OBGYN and she is on her way to talk with you both also!
Randy: Yeah Alright.
Doctor: I am truly sorry for your loss!
I sat there next to the bed and softly grabbed her hand ... I heard the doctor say something about loss but I ignored him... all that matter right now was Kate and making sure that she was healthy. I was sad that we lost out baby but I was grateful that I didn't lose Kate too I don't think that I could have survived that!
Kate's POV: My eyes started to open I felt tired oh so tired and weird. My vision was a little blurry at first , then I realized that I wasn't at home. Where was I? where was Randy? What the hell happened. I then noticed that Randy was staring at me with those amazing hazel eyes... Oh God I love those eyes!
Randy: OH..Beautiful your awake! I love you so much!
He looked so concerned as he kissed my forehead softly... why couldn't I remember what happen... then I remember.. the baby... Oh no!
Kate: The baby? How's our baby?
Randy looked at the floor as tears were filling his eyes... I knew at that moment that it was bad... I had never seen Randy that upset before!
Randy: Kate Lynn sweetie...
Kate: Don't say it please... if you say it then it really happened!
Randy just crawled into bed with me and pulled me close!
Kate: I lost our baby didn't I!
Randy just looked down at me... he didn't need to say the words because I could tell by the look on his face... at that moment all I could do was cry... I don't think that I had ever cried so hard in my life... and in front of Randy... he was amazing though... he cried to and he just held me tightly reassuring me that things would be ok and that he loved me! How could he still love me I had one job to keep our baby safe and I couldn't do that... what the hell happened were there any warning signs that I should have noticed... what could I have done to prevent this from happening all these things were going through my head when the door slowly opened and it was my OBGYN... she came in and wanted to talk to us. She explained that sometimes these things happen for no reason and it was nothing I did ... she talked a little more but I was just still in shock... I think the only reason I didn't freak out was because Randy was holding me tightly! I was so in love with him! I just hoped he could still love me!
