I don't like using real names but I will be using Adam because I have a problem with using Edge as I find it weird. Anyways...

*Present Time- September 2012*

Adam Copeland was back in Tampa, Florida after he left the city five years ago. That wasn't the only thing he left behind. He sighed as he thought about her. He knew she had questions she deserved the answers to since he did leave without telling her, he left the cowards way in the middle of the night. He shook his head as he thought about the wrong way he handled that. He knew she had questions, she called for months, but he never answered her calls and she never left any messages. And then the calls stopped, she probably got tired of trying to contact him when she wasn't getting anywhere with it. He didn't plan to see her yet but he couldn't stop thinking about her. He pulled over to a nearby gas station and pulled out his cell phone to call his best-friend, Christian Reso. He was sure Christian knew where the red-head lived because his wife, Dawn Marie Reso, was best-friends with the woman.

"Hey," Christian answered the phone.

"Hi," Adam replied.

"You here yet?"

"Yea, just got here an hour ago. I was on my way to your place, but... I can't stop thinking about her." Christian immediately knew who he was talking about. He didn't know what to say so he just stayed quiet. "I wanted to see her but I don't know where to find her. Could you-"

"Just stop right there," Christian interrupted him. "You know I can't do that. If Dawn finds out, she'll kill me. You know that. She still kind of sort of hates you."

He nodded even though Christian couldn't see him. "I know. But I really need to see Lita."

Christian shook his head. "I really can't do that." He saw how heart broken and lost the red-headed woman was when the blonde man left her without any explanation. Adam was like his brother, but he didn't know if he could tell him where she was. There was too much he kept from his friend, who he knew would be angry about. But it wasn't his place to tell Adam anything about Lita especially when she specifically asked him not to.

"Please. I need to see her. I need to see how she's doing."

"She's good. Now you know."

Adam rolled his eyes. "No. I need to see her. I need to see she's doing good as you say she is."

"Sorry. But, I can't. I know she doesn't want to see you. And like I sai-"

"Damn it Christian," Adam said as he pounded his fist on the steering wheel. "Just... does she still live in the same place?"

"No," he answered after a few seconds of silence. "Look, I don't think it's the best idea to see her right now." Especially since you'll get pissed off when you find out the truth. "I know she's not ready for it."

"Well, she might never be. I just want to explain myself. Neither you nor Dawn told her anything, did you?"

"No we didn't. Dawn actually agreed that it's your thing to tell her."

"That's a first," Adam muttered. under his breath that didn't go unheard from the other man who just chose to ignore him. "So can you just tell me please. I really need to see her. Like I said, she might never be ready to see me, but it is going to happen, so why not now?"

I can think of multiple reasons. Christian thought about it seriously for a bit before he actually answered his friend. "You're right. But there is some thing you don't know about her."

"Like what?"

"I can't tell you. I promised her I wouldn't tell you."

Adam shrugged. "Well, I want to explain myself now. And if she needs to tell me something, then she can just tell me then too."

Christian didn't know what to do, he knew Adam wouldn't leave him, but he did promise Lita he wouldn't tell his best-friend anything. He was kind of stuck in the middle. But he knew Adam was right, she probably wouldn't be ready anytime soon to talk to him and he knew the two were most likely going to meet one way or another now that he was back. "Look, I can't tell you. I'm sorry, but I can't."

"Whatever. She probably does live in the same place. I'll just check there and if she's not there, I'll just check somewhere else. Thanks for nothing."

"Don't-" Christian started to say but then heard the dial tone at the other end. Edge hung up on him. He was about to go see the woman he left five years ago. "Damn it."

"What's wrong?" His wife asked from behind him. "Who was that?"

"Adam."

"Oh. Shouldn't he be here by now?" Dawn tried to be civil with Adam even though she hated him for what he did to her best-friend.

"He's going to make a quick stop first."

"Where?" Dawn asked confused. "He hasn't kept in touch with anyone here except us. He doe... No," she said as realization set in. "He can't. He better not. I have to call her." She started to make her way back out of the room so she could go call her friend.

"No," he stopped her. "You can't. Just let it happen."

"How can you say that? He hurt her! He'll flip out on her when he finds out the truth. She doesn't deserve that. I mean, I know she didn't tell him, but that's his own fault."

Christian nodded. "I know. But we kept our promises to the both of them for a long time. We should just let them handle this now. They're going to have to one day. The sooner the better."

"But what if he-"

"He won't."

"Well, I didn't think he would leave her like he did, but I was wrong."

"Just don't call her, okay? They're adults. They need to handle this themselves. We'll help only if it's needed but they really need to handle this themselves."

"Fine," Dawn reluctantly agreed. "But I have every right to kick his ass if he hurts her again."

"Ethan." The red-head called out as she made her way to the living room from the kitchen of the apartment she lived in. "Bed time. Pick up your toys," she handed him a cup of milk which he unwillingly accepted. "Milk first."

"No. I don't wanna sleep," the little boy pouted.

"It's eight o'clock, you have to sleep. Drink that milk, I didn't give it to you so you could hold it."

"Mommy. I don't wanna," he continued to pout.

He looks just like his father when he does that, she thought and then shook those thoughts from her head, she really didn't want to think about him right now. "Ethan. Drink the milk, pick up your toys, brush your teeth, and change into your pajamas. It's time for sleep. No arguing or you don't get a bed time story."

"Okay mommy," the little boy said before drinking the milk and doing the other things she told him too.

"Good night," she said kissing his forehead after she read him a bedtime story and tucked him in.

"Good night mommy. I love you."

"I love you too," Lita smiled and left, turning the light off and closing the door but leaving it slightly open. It hurt her how much he reminded her of his father daily. He looked just like his father except for the fact he had his mothers hazel eyes. She hated that but it wasn't Ethan's fault, he was biologically half his. She tried to forget about Ethan's father and decided to watch a horror film Dawn suggested her to watch which was now a perfect time for since Ethan was sleeping and it was Saturday tomorrow. Work and taking care of stuff at home as well as Ethan had her tired, so the movie was a relaxing choice for her especially since she didn't want to sleep just yet.

The red-head was curled up on the couch watching the movie about half an hour later when she suddenly heard a knock on the door which made her flinch as she was frightened by the random knocking, even though she wouldn't admit it was fright, she would argue it was out of surprise. She paused the movie, got up from the couch, and walked towards the door. She opened the door without looking through the peephole to see who it was, even though she probably should have done that, and saw the last person she was expecting. Someone she hadn't seen for five years.

"Hi," he said after a moment of silence.

"What are you doing here?" She asked after she got over her initial shock. "Why are you here?"

"Can I come in first? We need to talk."

She shook her head. "I don't want to talk to you."

"Please. I just want to tell you-"

"Why you left?" She interrupted him still not letting him enter her home. "It's been five years. I don't care anymore." That's a lie, she thought. "I don't want to see or talk to you. Just leave me alone." She tried shutting the door but he wouldn't let her when he put his foot in the door. She was about to say something until she heard a voice from right behind her.

"Mommy. I'm scared. I had a bad dream."

Adam's eyes widened in shock and confusion. Lita has a son? Since when? Is this what Christian meant by when he said she was good? Did she move on? Was she in a relationship with someone? Is this what he meant by when he said there was something Adam didn't know about? What was going on? "Is... who... what-"

"Okay sweety," Lita started to say ignoring Adam, "Just give mommy a minute and I'll be there with you okay." The little boy nodded and left.

"Who is that?" Adam asked which made Lita turn around and face him.

"My son," she answered truthfully.

"How old is he?" Adam thought the little boy looked like he was around four years.

"That is none of your concern."

"It is if-"

"No." Lita shook her head. "You're not his father if that's what you're wondering. But you are his sperm donor. Big difference between the two." She saw how shocked Adam was, but she didn't care. "I have to go. MY son needs me. I would say it was nice seeing you, but that would be a lie. " She shut the door on him. He stood there shocked, trying to take in everything he learned. He had a son he didn't know about. Why didn't she tell him?

Thanks for reading. Yay or nay? Do we like it?

There will be multiple flashbacks throughout the story that will give a glimpse at Adam and Lita's relationship before he left and some that will explain what happened in the past five years and why he left.

Um, this isn't too important but ages, let's pretend in present time Adam and Christian are 33 and Lita and Dawn are 31.
