A/N: Hi guys! It's been a few years since I wrote "Sorry" and I admit that I gave you an empty promise of a sequel. I was distracted by many things – and still am – but I'm willing to attempt to write a sequel for you because I miss working with the characters of Thea and Glenn/Kane.
Now don't expect it to be as great as the prequel because nothing ever is. I'm working on what I remember about WWE because I have been unable to watch it since the last time "Sorry" was updated, so please go easy on me. I'm more concerned about doing this love story justice than keeping up-to-date on the new wrestlers and situations and I hope you enjoy it anyway.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Glenn woke up and rolled over to see Thea lying next to him, sound asleep. He had no clue why he was awake and she wasn't, until he heard the baby start crying down the hall. Thea's face twitched and she opened her eyes a little bit.
"Is that the baby?" she asked, stifling a yawn as she stretched against him.
"Yes," Glenn said, throwing his legs over the side of the bed. "We overslept again."
"You overslept," Thea muttered, sitting up slowly. "I was up at midnight with him. He's got another runny nose." She frowned. "I think it is allergies again, but it could be a cold."
"Did you check to see if he had a fever?" Glenn asked and he turned to look at her when she laughed quietly. "What?"
"We sound like boring parents talking about the health of our child," she commented with a smile. "Was it not long ago that we were flirting and goofing off in the morning?"
"Two years ago," Glenn said with a smile as he leaned over and pecked her on the cheek. "Two great years."
"Wow. I'm twenty one and you're well…" She smiled again and climbed out of bed. "I don't count that high."
Glenn glared at her and lunged across the bed. Thea laughed and darted out of his reach, her movements light and swift. Glenn chased her around the bed, laughing too.
He realized that he missed this simple fun time between the two of them. These days it was take care of the baby and work all the time. Not to mention the hate mail that made it to their mailbox from fans of Dolph Ziggler who hadn't forgotten that Thea had gotten him fired. And there were the bills, the grocery shopping, the house work, the movies, and promotions. Volunteering came shortly after the WWE jobs they did and Thea was all about volunteering in the community and places all over the nation.
It was about time for time spent together as a couple.
Thea laughed again and let him catch her in the corner of the room. Glenn's face softened as he caught her up in his arms and kissed her. Thea still tasted of strawberries and Glenn wondered why she loved to tease him like that.
"Go get the baby," she whispered against his mouth when the baby wailed again in a room down the hall. "He's going to be mad at us if we don't cater to his every whim, you know."
Glenn sighed and pulled away. "What are you going to be doing?"
"Making breakfast," Thea promptly said, slipping away from him. "I think I'll make pancakes today. Dex loves my pancakes."
Glenn watched her walk from the room and sighed again, turning to fix the bed. Declan screamed from down the hall and Glenn knew that he would continue doing that until someone came to get him.
"I'm coming Dex," he mumbled, exiting the master bedroom and walking down the hall to the nursery. "What's wrong?"
Dex jumped up and down, pounding his fists against the side of the crib. Snot poured from the baby's nose, running in a yellow river into Dex's mouth. The sight didn't bother Glenn as much as it did when Dex was littler. Instead of freaking out like he had back then, Glenn calmly reached for the tissues and cleaned the boy's face off.
The baby reached out and grabbed his father's hand, wrapping his fingers around one of Glenn's. "Dada…" Dex whined, looking up at Glenn with blue eyes. "Dada…"
"Yeah, I'm your dada." Glenn agreed, reaching into the crib and pulling his son into his arms. "You're going to have to deal with me for sixteen years or more."
Dex smacked his father on the chest. Glenn knew that the baby was rough; he'd always kicked and smacked everyone instead of hugging them but he didn't know where that came from. Glenn hadn't been a rough baby, so his logic told him it must either be Thea's fault or God had a funny sense of humor.
"Let's go see what your mommy's doing," Glenn said with a soft smile on his face.
Dex hit him again. "Momma…" He started to look like he was going to cry again, his jaw quivering and his eyes starting to water. "Mommy!"
Uh-oh…Glenn turned and carried the baby from the nursery, hurrying down the stairs. "Thea…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thea looked up at the ceiling when she heard Declan start to cry. A smile curved up the corner of her lips as she flipped a pancake. She knew it would be a matter of time before Glenn rushed downstairs, demanding that she take care of him.
Her smile fell when her cell phone beeped. With a hesitant glance at the ceiling, Thea pulled her cell phone out of the waistband of her shorts and looked at the text message.
You will never escape from me, Thea…
Please just leave me alone, Thea thought as she deleted the message. I'm sick of looking over my shoulder every day for someone that hates me…I don't even know what I've done to make them want to torment me like this.
"Thea," Glenn said, hurrying into the kitchen with a crying Declan. "I swear this baby hates me."
"Oh Glenn," Thea sighed, taking the pancake off the griddle and setting it on a plate. "Dex does not hate you. He's just a momma's boy. Right Dex? High punch."
Dex reached out and smacked his fist against her hand. Thea smiled and blew a raspberry on his cheek before plucking him out of Glenn's arms when he entangled his fist in her hair. She bounced him on her hip for a moment as Glenn took over the job of making breakfast.
"I think Dex is lonely," Thea commented, sitting him on the counter in front of her. "He's got the lonely look about him. Sad eyes, frown on his face." She smiled and let Dex take hold of her fingers. "I think he needs a friend."
"He has a friend," Glenn muttered, flipping another pancake. "Why do you think we allowed Kari and Mark to live next door to us? He has Moses to play with."
"Yes, hon, I know about Moses and he's so adorable when he plays with Dex, but…" She glanced over at her husband. "I was thinking we could give Dex a little sister or brother to love."
She saw Glenn's head lift at the words. Thea knew that Glenn had always wanted a big family and she loved the idea of having a bunch of mini-Glenn and mini-Thea children running around. They hadn't really spoken about having more kids so soon after Dex, but Thea was starting to miss having a really small baby to love. She wanted Dex to have a sister more than anything and she knew Glenn wanted a daddy's little girl…
"Thea, are you saying you want to try for another baby?" Glenn asked, looking at her. "So soon after…?"
He trailed off, but Thea knew what he was getting at. She had already miscarried once after Dex. There had been no explanation of what had went wrong with her second pregnancy, except that she may have tried too soon after Dex, but Thea had waited a year for her body to return to normal. She was ready to try again.
"I want another baby Glenn," Thea told him firmly, pushing the gloom that had settled over her shoulders away. "I want to have another Jacobs baby."
Dex clapped his hands together with a big smile on his face. Thea smiled down at her son and kissed his cheek.
"See? Even Dex thinks it's a good idea." She cast Glenn a sidelong glance. "You can't deny your first son a chance to be a big brother."
Glenn shook his head in agreement and put more pancakes on a plate. "No, I can't." He turned to face her and smiled. "I guess we're going to have another baby."
Thea bounced up onto her tip toes and kissed him lightly. The door to the dining room slid open and a blonde tumbled into the room, rolling to her feet to get into a ninja pose.
"I thought I heard the talk of evil plans," Kari said, smiling slightly as Mark came in holding a bundle of their joy. "That and I smelled pancakes. Pancakes of Doom!"
Thea scooped Declan off the counter and looked at her best friend's family. "Yes Kari, we serve Pancakes of Doom here."
"I knew it." Kari spun around and looked at Mark who was closing the sliding glass door. "See, I told you they served doomed foods here."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Glenn rolled his eyes at the intrusion of his neighbors. He still didn't know why he had agreed to allow them to move next to him. Sure, he knew Thea liked the idea of having at least one of her friends being around when she was homebound, but why did it have to be Kari?
"Hey Glenn," Kari crooned, appearing at his elbow. "What's your secret to making good pancakes? You see, Mark won't let me cook anymore."
"Shouldn't you just be honored that he's willing to do the cooking?" Thea asked from somewhere behind him. "That's one less thing you have to worry about screwing up."
"It was romantic for the first year of dating and then four months into our marriage," Kari informed her. "Now, it makes me feel useless. I can cook."
Glenn cast a glance in the direction of Mark and saw him shake his head as he set Moses down on the counter in his baby seat. Glenn was still unsure what Mark saw in Kari that made him love her so much. Even in her serious moments, Kari seemed so childish. A glance at her hand saw that she was still wearing that ring he had bought her when he'd gotten Thea's wedding ring.
"Thank you for inviting us over for breakfast," Mark murmured, looking at Thea.
"You're welcome," Thea said with a slight smile as Glenn placed more finished pancakes on a plate. "We thought it would be nice to have you over after you invited us over to dinner a couple of days ago."
Glenn shrugged and turned the griddle off when he saw how huge the pile of pancakes was becoming. Kari looked at him and smiled.
"Glenn, are you and Mark going to eat all of those on your own?" she asked. "Piggy."
"Be glad I don't hit women, Kari," Glenn rumbled, walking around her. "Or you'd be the first I hit."
"Nu-uh. You'd hit Michelle for me." Kari made a face and bounded over onto the other side of the counter. "You see, she's been making moves on Mark and I think he's slowly losing his will to fight against her power."
"No." Mark shook his head and pulled Moses out of his baby seat. "I will never fall to temptation."
Thea broke out into a smile and passed clean plates around. Glenn knew that Mark had already given into temptation a number of times and Moses was proof. The marriage to Kari was also proof, but he'd never rub it in the man's face.
There was silence for a few moments as the small party helped themselves to the pancakes, syrup, and butter. Kari and Thea attended more to their children's needs than their own as they ate their pancakes. Moses made faces as he chewed on the soft pieces of pancake Kari gave him and looked up at Glenn in wonder. Dex was busy getting sticky as he helped himself to pieces of pancake off of his mother's plate.
"So, you're planning on having another child of evil?" Kari asked, looking at Glenn and Thea. "You know they say that's bad for the world…having children of evil, I mean." She waved her fork around. "Couldn't you stop at one, Kane child?"
"Are you planning on stopping at one child?" Glenn shot back, calmly eating his breakfast.
Kari looked at Moses and then at Mark before looking back at Glenn. "I haven't thought about it. I was hoping for twins when I had Moses since Mark had twin daughters with his first wife, but all I got was Moses." She smiled slightly. "I'm happy with having one baby, but if I was asked to have another baby…I'd say 'surrogate'."
"Surrogate?" Thea's eyebrows raised in question.
"Ain't any way in Hell that I'm going to miss a year of wrestling again," Kari muttered, putting another little piece of pancake in Moses' mouth. "That was torture…I almost took up knitting when I was forced to stay home. Absolute torture, I tell you."
Mark and Glenn chuckled. Glenn could almost picture Kari fighting with knitting needles and yarn. She's utterly hopeless, he thought, glancing at Thea who was smiling, but noticed that her smile didn't quite meet her eyes as she looked at the people around her. Did Kari's nonsense get to Thea again? Did she change her mind about wanting to have a baby with me?
"Well, I'm going to have another baby," Thea said, reaching out and squeezing Moses' foot lightly. "I think I'll try for a girl this time, that way Moses can have a girlfriend."
"Oh no!" Kari grumbled, pulling her baby closer to her. "I don't want your daughter of Kane to put her wicked love spell on my baby boy."
Glenn rolled his eyes. Some things never changed.
OOOOOOOOOO
Thea looked out the window as Kari and Glenn sparred in the yard. One little comment had them trying to kill one another and she had made sure they wouldn't get blood on the carpet. Her phone rang, but she didn't answer it. She saw the words 'UNKNOWN CALLER' scrawl across the screen and disconnected the call. She wouldn't let another day be covered with the shadow of her stalker, wouldn't lose the happiness that came with spending time with loved ones.
Mark's eyes were penetrating when she glanced over at him as he sipped his coffee. It never ceased to amaze her how he had always been able to make her feel like she was so transparent. She was glad that Glenn wasn't like that or she'd never be able to keep anything to herself.
"What?" she asked, knowing that he was waiting for her to speak. "I'm not going out there to stop them."
"When are you going to tell someone that you are being harassed?" Mark asked, his gravelly voice betraying his Southern accent.
Figures he wouldn't fall for it…Thea sighed and looked back out the window. "I don't want anyone to worry….As long as I don't answer, maybe they will grow tired and leave me alone."
Mark shook his head. "That's not how stalking ends."
"No?"
"Thea, if you don't tell someone you could end up hurt far worse than when Nick hurt you," Mark stated, watching his wife attack his onstage brother. "Do you think Glenn would be able to handle that kind of incident again? Could your friends?"
Thea frowned and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. She knew he was right, but she wanted to handle the situation herself. Without Glenn's interference or his overwhelming concern. She felt that she was strong enough to do this on her own.
"I'll take what you say into consideration," Thea murmured, turning her coffee cup in her hands. "I just don't want to tell Glenn about it right now…"
"I understand, but if you don't tell him soon…" Mark left the ending of the sentence off, but Thea knew it was a threat.
He'd tell on her if she didn't fess up to Glenn.
"You know, I hate it when you do that," Thea muttered, throwing a glare in his direction. "I really do."
The shadow of a smile appeared on Mark's face for a moment before he set his coffee cup down. "I better stop this before she breaks his nose."
Thea watched him exit through the sliding glass door and frowned. Why couldn't bad fortune bug someone else for once?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A/N: This is the only chapter I've worked on for this story and the next one will probably take awhile to write out because I've got so many active stories, school work, and the messy stuff of life to deal with. So please, don't get mad or disheartened if I don't update immediately. I promise I haven't forgotten you all, I just need your patience. Thanks! ~Scarlet
