Monday: April 8, 2013 7:13 P.M. (Marissa's POV)

Chelle looked at me as we both hung out in my hospital room. "Randy can at least still come stay in here tonight since Raw is still in this city."

I nod. "But SmackDown is in Boston tomorrow. That's three and a half hours away."

"Yeah, that's true."

"Thanks for doing this. You didn't have to sacrifice your time with John."

"As your best friend, I wasn't going to let you stay here alone."

"You know that we definitely can't do the baby shower as planned now, right?"

Chelle shrugs. "We'll figure something out. I guess Tyler gets that day all to himself now."

I roll my eyes. "Don't even get me started on him right now."

Chelle raises an eyebrow at me. "What happened?"

"Randy told me that Tyler asked Colby about coming here to see me."

"Does he really think now is a good time after how things have been between you two?"

"He's not coming. Randy quickly shut it down."

"That's good. So what's going on with you to not make you want Randy around?"

"What makes you think that I don't want Randy around?"

"You pushed him to go. Vince wasn't going to make Randy go. Randy had no intentions of going to Raw or SmackDown. You're the one who pushed for it so hard."

I sigh. "I'm really upset and don't want to cry in front of him. I know I've cut it close a couple times already, but I think he's trying to keep things quiet around me to keep me from stressing out. Doing that in front of him will just make him do that more. Our baby is in the NICU and is three months premature. I'm going to stress no matter what right now."

"You need to tell him not to try to keep things quiet and that you know what he's doing. I also don't think it's a good idea to hide your emotions from him. If you know that he's trying to keep things quiet around you right now, he probably knows that you're trying to hide some of your emotions from him."

"I know. I just have so much stuff running through my head right now."

"It'll be okay. Are you going to rent an apartment here while the baby is still here in the hospital?"

I sigh. "Probably, I think Randy and I are going to have to be split up a lot of the time while the baby is in the hospital."

"How are you going to do that?"

"I'm probably going to stay here in New Jersey. I haven't said anything to him yet, but he needs to spend most of his off time in Missouri with Al. I'm not going to leave one of my kids neglected. I mean she's with Randy's parents right now, but she can't really come here until she's out of school for the summer."

"You make a good point."

"I know. It sucks because I don't really want to be away from him or Al, but I don't think there's anything else we could do until Al is on summer break from school."

"I think you're right. I also think this shows how much of a good mother you are because you're making sure your kids are the biggest priority."

I smile. "Thanks."

"Have you talked to Randy's parents? Do they know you had the baby?"

"They know. Randy called and told them. I haven't talked to them yet. I have my phone but I've not been in the mood to talk to people. All I've used my phone for is to text you a little bit before you got here."

"I see. Did you guys name the baby yet?"

I nod. "Yeah, we named the baby after Randy."

Chelle laughs. "Seriously? I thought you were so against that."

"I was, but it kinda grew on me. Plus, I didn't want to leave the baby without a name."

"So Randy got what he wanted after all?"

"I guess so, but I'll have much more input if we have another kid, which will be a while from now for sure. I'm not putting my body through this again for a while."

"I get what you mean."

"I'm glad that you are staying here with me right now until Randy gets back. It's nice to talk to someone who's birthed a kid as well. I think the only other person I would've been comfortable staying here with that gets it is Stephanie. Randy doesn't completely get it since he's never given birth." I laugh. "I know he's worried like me, but he doesn't quite get it."

"Yeah, I still can't believe you didn't even get to hold him."

"I know it's for his health and that I should be able to hold him a little bit soon, but I'm really upset about that. Like you held your daughter right after giving birth, and that's what I was expecting for myself, not this."

"Yeah, I'm going back home after Randy gets here from filming SmackDown, but as soon as you two are okay with other people holding your baby, call me. I'd like to hold my godson when I can. I'll come back for that."

I nod. "I will."

"Maryse and Eve were hoping to come see you tomorrow if you're cool with that. They'll understand if you're not up to seeing them at the moment though."

"I'd actually be really happy to see them too. They can even bring Ted and Cody if they want. I like seeing my friends."

"Good. I'll let them know."

"Thanks. Man, were you this tired after giving birth?"

"I've never not been tired since giving birth. If you can get sleep now, I'd suggest that you take it."

"Ah, I'll just get used to eternal tiredness."

Chelle laughs. "Pretty much."

"I feel weird about this whole situation honestly, but I know we'll figure things out. I just wish things were easier, ya know?"

Chelle nods. "I know. Don't forget that you've got plenty of people who are willing to help you out, okay?"

"Okay, I'm gonna sleep for a little while."

"Okay. You do that, Rissa."


11:31 P.M.

I woke up to see Randy had taken Chelle's place staying with me. I smiled at Randy without saying a word.

"I took a shower at the arena, so I'm not all sweaty." Randy whispers.

"Good." I replied. "How was Raw?"

"Well, Sheamus and I had to wrestle to decide who was gonna get their hands on Big Show first. Let's just say that Big Show ended that, and I got targeted." Randy winced a little.

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm a little banged up. Nothing too bad. I'm a little taped up."

"Don't be trying to downplay it because I'm in the hospital."

"Fine, I'll admit that I'm trying to not stress you out, but I am just a little sore. That's the truth."

"Okay."

"So why'd you insist on me going to work?"

I sigh. "Honestly, I wanted to let some emotions out without you around because I figured you'd just try to keep things quiet to not stress me out even more if I let my emotions loose in front of you."

"Do you need a lot of stress right now? You're in the hospital."

"Our son is in the NICU. I'm going to be stressed. I understand why you feel like you should do that, but it just irritates me anyway."

"I hear you. I'll stop doing that. Chelle said that Eve and Maryse are coming to see you tomorrow."

"I know."

"Do you want to talk about how you're feeling right now?"

"I'm mad that I didn't even get to hold him. Mad. I know he needs to be healthy, but I expected to be allowed to hold my baby after giving birth. I know premature births aren't a totally rare thing, but I didn't think for one second that we'd be going through this. I just keep asking myself why it was us? It's not fair." I start crying.

Randy leaned over and caressed my face. "It's okay to let it all out. I'm upset too. I wanted to hold him too. I never thought this would've happened either."

"I can't help but be worried for him."

"Me too honestly."

"You know that you're gonna have to go back to Missouri without me, right?"

"I know. You need to stay here in New Jersey for the baby. I have to go back to Al. We can't neglect either of our kids. I just hate the idea of being split from you."

"That makes both of us."

"We'll figure things out. I'm not going back to Missouri until you're discharged though. I'm going to SmackDown tomorrow, but after that, I'm here with you until you get discharged, okay?"

I nod. "Okay, Randy. What all did you tell your parents?"

"I told them that you had the baby, and both of you were in the hospital. They understood that they'd have Al longer than originally planned, but they had no issue with that."

"Okay. I'll call them tomorrow and give more details. I've got a large amount of messages on my phone, but I haven't cared to really go through them."

"You had a kid yesterday. You shouldn't be expected to go through all of them yet."

"That's true. Just so you know, I'm waiting a while to have another kid."

"I don't blame you after all this. It's completely reasonable."

"Good. I'm going to be looking forward to taking this baby home."

"Me too."
