------------------------------

There's nothing good about goodbye,
I could swear I saw you cry.
I always knew you'd wind up falling harder.

"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, Jackie!" Charlie yelled out of pure rage. His bag was slung over his shoulder, car keys in his hand.

"I'm six months pregnant with your baby! Did you think I was going to let you go that easily? I love you with all of my heart, Charlie, and I know we could work things out.." she pleaded through tears, while Charlie just chuckled and shook his head.

"Do you think I'd be leaving if I felt the same?"

And it ended. Just like that.

------------------------------

Jackie was dozing on the sofa when Amy bumbled into the apartment. Following her was her long-time best friend, and boyfriend of six months, Adam Copeland. Amy closeted her jacket, and put Adam's on the coat hook. She stopped when she noticed that her best friend was asleep, and smiled at the man beside her. Jackie had experienced many sleepless nights since the break-up with Charlie, and it was good to see her finally catching some much needed shut-eye. Amy watched her chest rise and fall for a moment or two. Sure that she was sleeping soundly, she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and led him into the kitchen. It was Adam's birthday, and there were still several things to be done before the party that would be taking place that very same evening.

"How's it feel, old man?" Amy joked, biting her lip to hide the smile.

"Very funny," Adam sneered, but he grinned. "Thirty-three feels like.. wouldn't you know it, it feels like thirty-two."

Amy laughed and struggled out of his arms. She busied herself with phone calls, both to make sure that everyone was showing up, and to various other places. Adam popped a piece of candy corn into his mouth, grinning arrogantly at the catch he'd just made. He wandered into the living room, and took light steps, making sure not to wake the mommy-to-be. He smiled, seeing that her hands were folded across that seven-month belly. She had been through a lot, and juggling the pregnancy and stress at the same time was not good for the baby. He sat down in an armchair, and leaned back, closing his eyes. He sincerely felt, not only for Jackie, but for the baby, as well. He had experienced growing up without a father, and it was tough on his mom. He didn't want them to have to go through the same thing.

Adam sighed, and his was followed by a second, from the other being in the room. He opened his eyes and sat up in the chair. Jackie was slowly pulling herself up from her laying position, and she made faces as she went. Adam surpressed a grin, though he wasn't even sure that she knew he was there.

"Hey sleepy-head," he called to her with a smile, causing her to look up with surprise.

"Adam, hey.. I didn't know you were here."

Amy walked into the room decked in a spiffy apron with her hair pulled back. She sat down next to Jackie and patted her leg.

"How ya feeling, babe?" she asked her best friend, noticing that Jackie's eyes were still filled with sleep.

"How long ago did you get here? Why didn't you wake me up?" Jackie asked both questions without pausing for an answer inbetween.

"It's been so long since you've slept, I just wanted to let you have a few moments where you didn't have to worry about anything.." Amy trailed off, and frowned. So far, she was the only person who had heard Jackie's entire story. She hadn't even told Adam. "Don't worry, you didn't miss anything special. We just got here about fifteen minutes ago."

Jackie yawned and wiped the sleep from her eyes. She carefully stood and waddled to the kitchen in search of something to munch on. She pulled a few carrots from the fridge and gnawed on them as she tottered back into the living room area. She lowered herself back onto the couch, and raised an eyebrow at the two staring at her? She swallowed the bit of carrot.

"What? I had the munchies.." she pouted.

As if on cue, Amy and Adam looked at eachother and laughed. Jackie grinned, biting another piece of the carrot. She was in much higher spirits than she had been last month, and she was finally starting to enjoy herself. And she was also becoming comfortable around Amy and Adam together, the break-up and the divorce having been extremely hard on her. She could feel their eyes on her again.

"Jacks, you forgot the chocolate to dip them in.." Amy laughed, and the other two joined in.

------------------------------

Adam's party was underway at eight, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Adam and Amy were, of course, talking amongst themselves and a small group of Adam's closest friends. Everyone else was mingling with.. well, everyone else. Jackie was dressed up in a cute little purple dress, and all of the girls from the WWE were fawning over her, especially Trish, Michelle, and Jill.

"Jackie, you're so cute!" Trish laughed, touching her friend's belly with an 'aww.'

Randy walked into the party with his long-time best friend, John Cena. John immediately spotted Jill, who he was happily dating, and dragged Randy over with him.

"Hey ladies," Randy greeted with a cocky grin. "Jackie! It's nice to see you again. Damn girl, have you been losing weight?"

The four girls laughed, and Jackie punched his arm playfully.

"Shut up, Orton," she grinned, and he gave her a hug. "It's good to see you too, though. I miss seeing that face of yours."

Jackie and Randy had always been good friends when she was still in the WWE. However, they had lost touch since she was dismissed, and this was like a new beginning. She didn't plan on returning to work anytime soon, especially since the little bun in the oven was due in a little over a month. She smiled and crossed her fingers, holding them to her stomach just in time to feel the baby kick. She flinched just slightly, not quite used to that yet.

"Did it kick?" Jill asked excitedly, and Jackie nodded. She wasn't sure of the gender just yet, and she wouldn't know until she gave birth. She looked up to smile at Jill, but the door opening caught her eye and her heartbeat skipped as she saw who it was.

Amy had been watching her from across the room, and immediately recognized the hurt in her eyes. She jabbed Adam in the side, and before he could protest she pointed towards the door. Adam clenched his fists and growled, walking over to the door.

"I don't know who said you could come, but you're certainly not invited," he said through clenched teeth. He was doing all he could to keep himself from murdering the man in front of him.

"Adam, my man! Good to see you, happy birthady!" Half of the party hadn't noticed the commotion over the music. "Don't worry, I'm not here to step on any toes. Just wanted to say hi, and.." he noticed Jackie, who was literally quaking. "Jackie, how are you doing?" he asked, taking a step towards her.

"You take one more step, and your ass won't ever be able to take a step again," Adam threatened.

Everything stopped when the pain started. Jackie's entire world swirled around her, as she gasped in pain and clutched her stomach. She didn't know what was wrong, but she had a feeling that something was wrong with the baby. "Help me," she pleaded, tears leaking from her eyes.

"Jackie!"
