I could hear the monitors beeping around me. They wouldn’t stop. It was ongoing, and it was really starting to piss me off.

I finally opened my eyes, and I was surrounded by people and I was in a hospital bed.

I could see Melina smiling from across the room and she shoved through people to be at my bedside. “How are you feeling Gem?”

I made an effort to smile. “I’ve never felt better being in a hospital.” She chuckled and then handed me a cup of water with a bendy straw. I sipped it and then she put it back down on the table. “What happened to me?”

Her smile was lost and she looked back at someone else. Then John came up behind her and stood. “Well…your appendix…was inflamed.”

“Really?”

“Gem, someone found you in the elevator on the floor in pain. When they did, they screamed, and luckily you were on John’s floor and he heard them. They called you an ambulance and you past out on the way to the hospital.”

My face was still blank. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with my appendix, honestly.

Then a doctor walked into the room. “Excuse me everyone, but I’m going to have to ask you to step out for a moment.”

Everyone but Melina left the room. “Doctor,” I spoke softly, “I want her to stay in here with me.”

The doctor looked over at Melina and nodded. “Alright. Geminie Madeline correct?”

I nodded.

“Alright, well, I’m sure everyone’s already told you, but your appendix was inflamed, and you had to receive an immediate appendectomy. The surgery took place this morning so you’re all taken care of…for now.”

I nodded again.

“But I just want to let you know that everything is okay with the baby.”

Melina’s jaw dropped, as did mine, and then she looked over at me.

“I’m sorry doctor, but um…what?”

He smiled. “Gem, your baby is fine. There was no harm done to it when your appendix burst open.”

“W-What do you mean b-baby?”

The doctor smiled and chuckled. “Gem, you’re pregnant.”

I swear at that moment I heard my heart monitor go completely dead, and I fell back against the bed. I swear I felt my soul being lifted out of my body and then slingshot into hell.

Melina shook me. I opened my eyes and the doctor was gone. It was just us two. It was dark outside. “Melina what the hell happened?”

“Gem, how could you not tell me that you are pregnant?!”

My eyes widened. That’s why I fainted! I looked into her eyes. “Mel, I didn’t even know I was pregnant!”

She gasped. “You mean…but you…I mean…but then who’s the…Randy?”

Oh. My. Gosh. It couldn’t have been…. But it had to have been…. There’s no other person…. Oh no.

“Mel, you cannot tell anyone about this. Do you understand? No one is to know about ANY of this!”

She nodded. “But surely you have to tell Randy. I mean, if it is HIS baby, then he has a right to know.”

“No Mel, he’s not gonna know. I’m not gonna tell him.”

“Why not?”

I opened my mouth, but my thoughts changed. Why didn’t I want him to know? “I just…I don’t want him in my life anymore. And if I’m gonna have this baby, then I want to be able to give this baby a good life without him ruining it.”

“Gem, you can’t just not tell him. If anything happens with the baby—”

“Then I’ll handle it Mel.”

She sighed heavily. “I don’t think that’s a very good decision, but I guess I can keep it to myself.”

I nodded with irritation. All I asked of her to do was to not tell anyone. I didn’t want the news getting out to the fans, especially to Randy.

After a while of silence, I finally broke the silence. “Mel?”

She was sitting in the chair in the corner, reading a WWE magazine that she always kept stuffed in her purse. I’m not entirely sure why, but she always read those. “Yeah?”

“How long do I have to stay here?”

She shrugged. “I think the doctor said a couple days or something like that.”

I slumped back in my bed. This day officially sucked. First, my appendix exploded. Which wasn’t all that bad, in my opinion.

She went back to reading her magazine, and I looked over at the monitors beside my bed. I really wish I could be out of here now. But then again, I’d rather stay and not go back to my job. Now that I know I’m…p-pregnant…well, I don’t know if I can keep my job, and I most CERTAINLY don’t wanna see him there.
