"Baby! Come down here and help me out." Stephanie shouted.

I ran down the stairs and saw that she had dropped the baby name book on the floor and couldn't pick it up because of her ever growing stomach. I had to laugh. "Hey, you're the one who did this to me." She remarked.

"I takes two baby." I retorted. I smiled at her.

"How is the little monster in there?"

"Well what can you expect with a monster. He's kicking like crazy."

"So you're betting for a boy huh. Quite frankly I would love to have a girl. I want a daddy's little girl. I'll have fun beating up all the boys who hurt her."

"She will have the best father on the planet." She said as she kissed me. "So wanna help pick out names?"

"Why not."

We walked over and sat down on the couch. "I have some underlined. What do you think of Evan for a boy?"

"No, that sounds like something you name a dog."

"Drew?"

"Maybe… It still could be a girl."

"Alex. It could go either way."

"Nah. Doesn't really sound good."

"Velma?"

"What? Are we in Scooby Doo?" I laughed.

She slapped me with the book and laughed. I started to feel my phone vibrating. I took it out and saw that it was one of the guy that I needed to speak to. "Babe, I gotta take this." Once I was out of the room I answered. "Hey, did you get that taken care of."

"Definitely. He will never speak a word ever again." The man said.

"Good." I said sternly.

"What did we need to do now, boss."

"Find his buddy and get him to talk. If he doesn't, then you know what to do. We have to find him! No one messes with me! No one messes with Stephanie!"

"Got it boss."

I hanged up the phone and went back to Stephanie. "What was that for?"

"Work called. They wanted me to come into the office but I told them I needed to spend the day with my girl."

"Awww. you're too sweet. But you didn't need to stay."

"We need to get this accomplished. If we don't then we will name her under pressure and she'll have a name like Bertha."

She laughed. "How about if it's a boy I'll name him, and if it's a girl you can name her. We get to have 3 names to choose from."

"Deal. I already got my three. Wanna hear them?"

She smiled. "Yes."

"Emilie, Emma, and Aurora."

"All those are so sweet! Mine are James, Drake, and Oliver."

"I don't oppose for once."

Hours later, Stephanie was sleeping. I decided to make dinner for the both of us. Nothing too fancy. I sat the plates of spaghetti onto the table and served the garlic bread onto a plate. I jogged upstairs and entered our bedroom. "Steph…. Babe...Wake up."

I began to slowly shake her gently. She started to mutter. I kissed her and her eyes fluttered open. "Morning sunshine." I smiled at her.

She instantly wrapped her arms around my neck. I heard her start to sniffle. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"I had a horrible, horrible nightmare."

"So I came here just in time. Tell me about it."

"I was trapped underwater in a cage. I kept kicking and punching to get out but I couldn't. All I could think about was our baby. I kept calling for you. You woke me up before anything else could happen."

"You don't have to worry baby. You know i'm only one call away. I'll be there to save the day. Superman has nothing on me. Now I wanna see you smile."

I started to tickle her. She couldn't escape. I loved her laugh and bright smile. It cheered me up. I needed it. "Be careful Paul." She said as she laughed.

I stopped, looked into those beautiful emerald green eyes and gave her a slow kiss. " I love you."

"I love you more." She said

"Not possible."

"Yes possible."

We smiled at each other. All of a sudden I felt the baby more. Almost to make it's presence known. I put my hand on her stomach and began to slowly rub it. "I love you too baby girl." I said as a kissed Stephanie's stomach.

I felt another kick on my hand as a pulled back. I smiled brightly. "So I got a surprise for you."

"What is it?"

"Well if I told you then it would ruin it."

I threw the covers off of her and grabbed her hand. As soon as we got to the stairs she could smell it. "Did you cook?! That's a shocker." She said as she laughed

"I can cook when I want to."

"And that's usually NEVER." She giggled.

I gave her a sly smile and just ignored her. "Your table awaits."

As she sat down I pushed her chair in and placed a kiss in her hair. "Paul, this is actually really good. I'm going to have to let you cook for awhile."

I smiled at her. "Anything for you."

As time went by my phone started to ring yet again. I excused myself from the table and took the call. "Did you find him yet?"

"Yes boss. We need you to come in. He won't tell us anything maybe he will talk for you."

"Ok I will come right now." I said as I ended the call and put my phone back into my pocket.

I walked back to Stephanie. "Babe, that was the office they need me and it's urgent."

"They need you at 6 PM?"

"Yah. They are having trouble with an account."

"Ok. I'll wait up for you. It couldn't take that long."

"I'm not sure. If i'm not back by 10 PM please go to bed. You need it. Promise?"

"I promise."

I gave her a quick peck on the lips and drove to warehouse. I was greeted by Brian. He opened the door and I saw her. I gave her a long kiss on the lips. "I missed you." She said

"I missed you too Chyna."

"Like I said on the phone. He won't tell me where he is and where they are keeping him."

My face tensed up. "I'll take care of it" I said in a low growl

I burst into the room. I rubbed my hands together. "Now this should be fun."

The guy was strapped down to the chair with belts and hand cuffs. This would end in finding my best friend or him dieing.

"Ok pal. We have tried the easy way and the hard way. Now they brought in the big guns now. Wanna start talking now?"

Dead silence still filled the room. I picked up a pipe wrench and lightly tapped it into my hand. The guy's eyes opened a little wider. He started to stamper. "Come on spit it out!" I roared

"I…..I….d...d..don't….know...wh..where...shhh..sh...Shawn is." He trembled

"WRONG ANSWER!" I said as I swung and hit the man's knee.

He screamed in pain. "Want to try again?"

The guy only kept whining. He saw me lift up the wrench again. "NO, NOT AGAIN!"

"Well only because you asked."
I swung and hit the other knee. More shrieks filled the room. An instant smile filled my lips. The man winced and finally spoke. "All my boss told me is that he's in a shed in the country. I swear that's all I know."

"That's a shame." I said as I lifted the wrench and knocked him out cold.

I walked out of the room just as angry as I walked out. "Chyna, you got to get more out of him. I need to find Shawn! I know you can do it babe." I said.

She walked in the room. "Well you didn't need to knock him out." She said.

"I let my anger get the best of me. You don't know how important he is to me." I responded strongly.

"Yes I do. He's like your brother. You are closer than us." She said softly.

"It's definitely deeper than that."

"What is deeper than that?"

"I'm not sure. He was there for me when no one else was. He has helped me through a lot of crap." I trailed off.

I started to think and stare into space. Chyna snapped me back. "Hey. We will find him. It only takes time."

"Yah time that we don't have. These guys hate me. They want something from me and I don't know what. Shawn doesn't have to suffer because of me because he has suffered enough."

I put my hands on the fore head and leaned on my knees. Sulking is the only thing I could do at this point. Shawn would immediately work me through everything. Tell me whats more important. Help me see the light in my world of darkness. I got up and kissed Chyna and left. All I could think about is our crazy and funny moments. Like the time where we pranked all of the teachers in our high school in one day and reaking havoc with the principal. We put the pal in principal. A small smile formed but it instantly fell.

When I got home, I didn't see any of the lights on but the kitchen light. Stephanie must have gotten tired early. I roamed up to our bedroom and tried to get ready for bed quietly. "Paul?" I hear.

"Yes?" I reply.

"Thank god you're home."

"Why do you say that?"

"I've been worried since you left. My mind just took over. I knew you were okay but I don't know. I've just been an emotional wreck these past few days when you are gone. I just get lonely here in this big house." She sulked.

I immediately went over to her and but my finger under her chin. "Look at me, please. You will never have to worry about me. I'll always be right by your side through thick and thin. When I first saw you, I knew you were going to be my everything. I was afraid though because of my nasty break up with Chyna. But once I got to know the real you. I knew you were my soul mate. It kills me to see you so sad and dour. Before I met you, I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason. I love to see your cheery smile when I come home from a hard day. I love to see your bright eyes shining into mine. You are my little light that gets me through the dark. Same with Shawn. If I didn't have either of you. I would surely drown in my darkness."

She gave me one of those amazing smiles that I love. "Paul, I don't think you get how terrified I am to lose you, like I get so damn scared that when you take hours to reply that you just want to get away from me. I can't lose you, you were my first everything mainly my first real love. I've never loved anyone the way I love you. I almost hate myself for loving you because I know one day you'll be gone. I think about the last time I saw you all the fucking time and I can't ever get it out of my head no matter how hard I try." She said as she cuddled up to me.

I laid there shocked. All I could do is pull her a little bit closer. I could feel the small tears coming from her cheeks. I began to rub her back sweetly and I kissed the top of her head until she fell back asleep in my arms. I then realized that I wasn't going to be the worst out of this double life, Steph was.
