AN: Been re-watching Lita/Edge stuff and yeah, no idea what this is. My little Edge/Lita muse woke up I guess. Lol :)
Followers of my OTH story, I promise I'll update soon. I haven't forgotten about that.
A collection of Edge/Lita one-shots.
Summary: A new mother worries about how she'll cope when her husband goes back on the road.
September 20th, 2010.
Another tear escaped from the red-heads brown orbs. She rested her head on the wall and slumped down to the floor, releasing a huge sigh as she did.
She honestly didn't know how much more she could take.
It had been three days since the married couple bought their newborn son home and Amy just couldn't settle him.
Amy and Adam found themselves getting married after dating for 2 years. She wasn't the type of person to have the big, fancy wedding and with Adam being married twice before, neither was he. They had both decided they started their relationship in an unconventional way, so they'd marry on their own terms.
It was a small arrangement at a local registry office in Canada. The bride and grooms best friends, Trish Stratus and Jay Reso, were the witnesses with their mothers the only guests.
Three years later, they welcomed Alexander Joseph Copeland into the world weighing 7lbs 4oz.
The proud parents beamed with happiness upon hearing their newborns first cries, but now Amy couldn't get him to stop.
She bought her hands up to cover her face and sighed. Adam had gone to get takeout for Amy from her favourite restaurant and had already been too long for her liking.
"Shh, shh baby. Please," Amy whispered as her infant son continued to cry. She hadn't been left alone with Alex at all. Adam was always by her side, but that would soon change.
"Amy? Is everything ok?" Adam called from downstairs hearing his sons cries. He rushed upstairs when he got no response.
The bedroom door swung open and Amy looked up to see her husband rush to their sons crib. The cries obviously masked the sound of the front door alerting to Adams return.
"What the hell Amy?" He asked picking up their baby and slowly rocking him in his arms.
She let out a breath and realised just how bad this scene looked to him. She had just left their son to cry for god knows how long. She didn't even know herself. She wiped her eyes and sat on the bed. "I.. I didn't.. He wouldn't stop."
Amy listened as her son stopped crying and felt terrible. Maybe all he wanted was a cuddle and she had refused to allow her son comfort. What kind of mother was she? A pretty awful one she thought. "I'm a terrible mother."
"No you're not," her husband replied and bought their son with him to sit next to her. "This is all just new to us."
She sighed.
"Hold him."
She shook her head. "I can't."
"You can." He stood up and handed Alex to his wife and rejoined her on the bed. "You're his mommy, and he needs you."
She held Alex against her chest and gently rubbed his back. "How am I supposed to do this without you?"
"You won't be alone, I promise. My mom isn't that far away, and your mom is spending the week here when I leave."
"But they aren't you. What if I screw up?" She continued to rub her sons back as he let out a big burp which resulted in the pair laughing.
"That's my boy," Adam grinned.
"That was pretty funny," Amy finally smiled. "Ya think that's why he cried and wouldn't stop? I did try everything else."
"I reckon so. See, you do know what you're doing." He leaned in and kissed her cheek before peering past her shoulders and seeing their son now fast asleep.
"But what if it isn't wind next time and I freak out and leave him again?" Amy worried.
"You'll be just fine. We should put this little monkey to bed."
Amy stood up making sure she didn't startle the baby. She placed Alex in his crib and kissed his head. Adam did the same and then kissed his wife.
"You're beautiful."
"Shut up," Amy blushed. It was no secret she hadn't felt good about herself after having their son, so to hear Adam say that meant so much.
"Seriously though, I'm only gone for three weeks and then I have a week off. You'll be amazing with Alex. You're his mom. Jay is always around for uncle duties if needed and Trish will be around." He smiled and kissed the top of her head as they continued to watch their son sleep.
"Did you ever imagine our life would turn out like this?"
"Honestly?" She nodded as he shook his head. "No. I thought the pressure of having our personal lives turned into a media frenzy would destroy us, especially when Vince made it a god damn storyline. But saying that, I'm glad I was wrong."
Amy smiled, faced her husband and kissed him. "This is better than I could have ever imagined. I love you."
"I love you too, princess. Now let's go eat." Adam guided his wife out of the bedroom as they walked hand in hand downstairs.
"I'm sorry about before. I really didn't mean to leave Alex crying."
"Hey, shh. Forget about that now. We love you and I promise we will all be together again soon."
Amy knew things would be ok now Adam had reassured her. That didn't mean she wouldn't miss him though. She couldn't wait for the day that the WWE was no longer a part of their lives. Little did they know, that day would come sooner than expected.
My next one takes place around the time Adam was forced to retire. I'll upload it as chapter two here.
