When I left from my visit with Trish I felt a whole lot better although I did feel like I should be making a checklist of people I was telling about this. No not every body had to know not yet but I did feel it was important for my husband, my best friend and my family to know.
Which brings me to the next person my hit list I mean check list, my father. My mind told me that Shane had suspicions that he had most likely already brought to my father. I mean why else would he alert the media if he just thought it was another pregnancy for Hunter and me. No he had to know something was up and if he knew then more then likely so did my dear old dad.
"Daddy can I come in?" I asked through the crack in his door.
Part of me hoped that his door would be shut and he would be in some important meeting thus leaving this for another day. But as always I had the worst of luck.
"Come in." He beckoned.
I opened the door all the way and was mortified when I saw Shane sitting across from my father. You see…simply the worst luck.
"Oh your busy I'll just…"
"Nonsense." My father spoke. "Shane and I were just finishing up we wont be a minute."
I reluctantly made my way into his office and took a seat to wait. Soon enough Shane got up to leave but not before he sent a evil smile my way, a smile that assured me he knew and not only that but he was leaving it up to me to fill dad in.
"So what did you want to see me about?" He asked.
I flattened out the seam in my skirt once I moved to the chair closer to him. I wasn't sure if getting to close was such a good idea but sitting so far away probly would seem way to suspicious. "Dad I don't know how to say this so I'm just going to come out and say it, I'm pregnant…"
"I'm fully aware." Dad blurted cutting me off. He tapped his pen vigorously on his desk. "What's this really all about?"
"Well…well…" I said stalling. "The baby isn't exactly Hunters." I said as I continued to fidget in my seat.
"Isn't exactly Hunters?" He asked.
"No it isn't."
He looked at me hard and for a moment I thought spotted the dollar signs in his eyes, a look I'd come all to familiar with. But if he thought my baby drama was going to be the next big wrestling angle he was sadly mistaken. Because that my friend is where I draw the line, I'd sold my soul for this man…the things I'd done for him for business it even came down to marrying the man of his choice but I was not I repeat I was not brining my baby into all this.
Then his eyes softened and I was almost certain he was going to cry but he didn't he simply stiffened up and looked at me coldly.
"I'm very disappointed in you." He said.
And that was it, no yelling, no screaming, just an "I'm disappointed". It's true what they say though it hurts so much more. No matter what my father did to me no matter how hard being his kid was, I loved my father and I was indeed a daddy's little girl.
"You're telling your mother." Dad said finally.
He didn't even ask who it was, probably because he already knew. All the late meetings, all the contract perks, the looks across the room, yes my father must have known and really so should everyone else.
I left the room not happy but relieved one more down. But I still had to tell him and that was not going to be fun. Although I couldn't help but smile as I thought about seeing him again, the big brown eyes the broad shoulders everything about him screamed perfection, except this time I wouldn't be seeing him for pleasure or even business I don't know what you'd call this except a less then perfect situation.
I gathered up my belongings and headed away form the arena. I had to get a goodnight sleep I needed it. But as my head hit the pillow all I could think about was how it felt in his arms, warm and inviting a feeling I wasn't to sure I would ever know again.
Another chapter...have you figured it out yet? Review we are almost up to who it is. maybe next chater even.
