Disclaimer: Again I only own Jennifer. This chapter is a lot shorter, but I'll get the last 2 posted soon. Enjoy!

I walked into the room and a fresh scent of vanilla and lilies filled the air. I looked over to see Jenifer sitting up in bed with a package on her lap and a smile on her face. I barely noticed all the machines and tubes connected to her anymore…barely.

"Hey beautiful. How are you feeling today?" I felt the nerves come as the question passed my lips. I asked every day and the nerves always hit me.

"I'm doing a little better than yesterday. I went outside today, but only for a half hour." She paused briefly before holding out the bag. "I know it's a little late, but I finally finished your birthday present." I smiled as I took the bag. She looked so happy that I forgot what had happened with Chris earlier in the evening. Before I opened it I set the elephant on her lap and kissed her forehead.

"I missed you." She giggled as she looked over the stuffed elephant.

"I missed you too, but you just saw me yesterday." She paused and set the elephant down. "I love it Alex. Thank you." She moved over to let me sit on the bed. I noticed she looked a little pale as I sat down, but she had gone outside for the first time in over a week. "Open it Alex!" She said as I sat there staring at her. I opened the bag and pulled out a car and a wrapped present. I read the card and felt tears sliding down my cheek.

"I love you too Jen." I gave her a hug as I tried to dry my eyes.

"Don't cry Alex. That isn't why I wrote it."

"Just because you don't mean to, it does hit me like a ton of bricks." She smiled and I felt myself fall deeper in love. "Where'd you get the paper?"

"My dad bought it for me. He dropped it off today when he visited before he had to leave on business." I was glad her dad had been so supportive over the past 4 months. I had still only seen her mom and sister once and that was over 3 months earlier. "Just open it Lex." I smiled as I tore the zombie wrapping paper.

"Just what I wanted." I said sarcastically when I saw the pink box.

"I can still keep it Alex. You haven't opened it yet." The smile grew as she couldn't keep a straight face. She was always a terrible liar. I opened the box and pulled out 2 different picture frames. The first was a charcoal of the 2 of us sitting outside during our 2-month anniversary. I felt the tears coming, but held them back as I flipped the other frame over. The picture was a drawn copy of an image from the night Chris and I had won the tag-team championships.

"Where did you get this picture?"

"I took it at Victory Road last year when you guys won. I know you and Chris weren't fans of mine, but I have always thought you two were a pair of the best wrestlers in TNA." The thoughts of my conversation with Chris came flooding back into my mind.

"Thank you Jen. These are amazing!"

"What's wrong Alex?" She paused. I could tell she was holding back a yawn.

"Maybe you should…"

"I'm fine. You say you like the pictures, but your eyes tell a different story. What's up?"

"Chris and I got in an argument today."

"About?" She asked the question, but I knew she knew what I was going to say.

"Truth told him we've been seeing each other. He was pissed. I tried explaining everything. I tried getting him to come, but he refused. He just won't listen. He said that you were blackmailing me. How can I be friends with someone that won't give my girlfriend a chance?"

"You've been friends for 10 years. Don't throw it away because of me Alex. Until he knows the truth he'll never forgive me."

"But it wasn't even you. It was your sister. He has no reason to be mad at you."

"I don't want to be the reason you and Chris stop talking."

"I'm not picking him over you."

"Alex…"

"No way Jen. I have a plan to get him to listen to me. I just need your permission."

"Permission for what?"

"I want him and Jamie to come here tomorrow. Maybe we can get them to listen."

"You can bring them, but don't be mad if they don't listen. They think I said and did some horrible things."

"I know, but I think this will help. Now you need to get some sleep. You look worn out."

"I am pretty tired. Are you staying?"

"If you want me too."

"Yea, I want you to stay." I smiled as I slid off my shoes. When I laid back on the bed Jenifer rested her head on my chest and I felt everything would turn out perfect.
