Not Welcome News

Nikki was the first to speak, she immediately beamed her eyes down at Blake who had this look of disbelief on his little face. "Auntie Coco is here little boy. We're all right here.." Nikki looked over at Bri who was so happy to see Blake behave like this, and Nikki to just spring into Aunt mode was absolutely incredible to see. Nikki has always had a certain way with children, and Bri's son was no exception to this rule. Blake was terrible with speaking still, he was only a small boy. But his words did carry some weight to them, more or less because he has heard them so many times, the parrot effect was taking hold on him. "Wuv you." Blake turned his head to his mom and dad, in that instant, he smiled a little bit before reaching his arms up in the air, almost like he needed to be held by one, if not both of them right this very second. This was such an internal struggle for Nikki to witness though, she wanted kids so badly, and she knew that someday Nick would give them to her but it was all a matter of time. Both of them were still so far dug in with their careers that a child was nowhere near in the works. Although, Bri always did instruct her that children are more important than your career, while Nikki's philosophy has always lingered on, work more and harder, have more money for them. It was such a coin toss but nevertheless it hurt to see these two people have a child sometimes, it just made her crave that love and affection from something that, well, she created. Bri and Bryan both leaned down to wrap an arm around Blake who was so cold to the touch. His tiny arms wrapped around each of them as he looked at Nikki, almost as an invitation for her to hug too. Blake may have been just a child, but he knew that his Auntie Coco loved him very dearly. Nikki nodded, slowly leaning down and hugging in the little space Bri allowed her.

The three of them held onto Blake as tight as they could before they all in unison heard his little tummy growl loudly. And just like that, all three of them pulled back and giggled quite loudly, Blake himself even let out a light, half hearted chuckle. The nurse popped inside the room and smiled, "Ah I see we are..awake? And how do you feel, Blake?" The small boy looked up at the rather tall, lanky nurse and raised a little thumb up, "Me'b feel goooood" all of them laughed, yet again at just how pure and adorable Blake was being right now. The nurse pulled the notepad from under her arm and handed it to Bryan. "Since you brought him in, you need to fill this out before you can take him home. And Mrs. Danielson? May I have a word with you in the hallway?" Bri furrowed her eyebrows as Bryan took a seat in the corner, Nikki nodded as she stayed with Blake who was confused, but knew his mom had to go and talk to the nice nurse lady. Bri slowly exited the room and the door shut behind them. "I wasn't going to say this in front of your sister or husband, or even Blake for that matter. But this heart murmur? Is further along than we expected. It's nothing fatal, but..it is highly advised that any kind of sporting activities be stopped immediately, and we need to schedule a surgery date so we can fix this now, as opposed to if this kind of thing happens again..Who knows the result." Bri listened to every word and as soon as she spoke, surgery..That caused her heart to dip down into her gut and tears to build slowly, not noticeable to the nurse, but Bri felt them in full effect. Perhaps the nurse could have been a little nicer about telling her, but this was no time to beat around the bush. Her words were cold, and to the point. She obviously wants what's best for all of them..and..it appears as if surgery is the best option. Bri didn't expect it to be this serious, this kind of thing takes time..Guess now they have to hurry.

"I am so sorry Mrs. Danielson, I know who you are, and what you do, this is something that you really can't have time for with your line of work and if there was any other option, you better believe that we would suggest it to you.." Bri felt flattered that the nurse seemed so distraught and concerned with how the next course of action would be and how swiftly it simply must be taken. Bri spoke firmly and clear, "Even though I don't have much time to myself, when it comes to my son, I will put the whole world on hold for him. Thank you for telling me. When we go to the follow up appointment in Phoenix we will talk surgery and see where we have to go to get it done." The nurse offered a small smile as Bri spoke, it was admirable that Bri was such a dedicated mother, but then again, that comes with the job. And the job is far more important than anything else in Bri's life. The tall nurse nodded with a smile, "I'll leave you guys to it then?" As she spoke, Bri nodded and quickly opened the door up again, Nikki and Blake looked over at her and smiled, "Look Blake, mommy is back!" Blake beamed a cute little smile and giggled as well, Bri made a little face at the small boy to ensure that the giggle would last a little while longer. Looking at Nikki, the look in her eyes was filled with fear of the unknown, especially with what the nurse had just told her. There was simply not enough hours in the day to be sad like this, the little victory of Blake being just so damn happy had to be exploited and made to last as long as humanly possible. Bri walked back over to the bed and snagged Blake's hand, "Mommy is gonna take care of you, Blake. You know that right?" Even though Blake wasn't very good with speaking words, he understood them almost to a T. He nodded at Bri and smiled, "Home?" She shook her head slowly from side to side at him, "Not yet sweetie. You and daddy get to go to a really nice, fancy hotel and stay there for the night until we know you feel better. Would you like that?" Blake's eyes widened and glossed just lightly, he obviously wanted his mom..But Bri had to go to work tonight, and backstage at a WWE event wasn't the place that a little boy should be like this.
