A/N: I own nothing but the mistakes. I also hope you don't get confuses with my wording I tried to word things the best I could. Please review, favorite and follow.

July 17, 2007

I was sitting an office with a few leather chairs, a desk, a few decorations and what looked to be a few probably phony degrees on the wall. Needless to say I didn't want to be here I wanted to be with Mike. He wasn't doing well at all since we had gotten the news. I know that when Eddie died he was quite withdrawn from people for weeks and I remember Chris had told me that he was just getting better when I had met them both. Now I don't know how he'll come back from this. To lose one parent is a tragedy. But what about two parents? What would you even call it?

I just wish Chris was here, these past three weeks have been hell. I wake up wanting him to be next to me and he's not there, or wanting to call him and knowing he won't answer. I just wish this was a nightmare I can just wake up from but sadly it's not the case. I'm trying to be as strong as possible for Mike but it's hard and I don't know what to do about everything. And through it all Mike hasn't even uttered a word. I'm lost in thought when a man walks into the office.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Brooks, my name is Holbrook Parker," he says as he extends his hand which I don't feel like shaking so he just retracts it and sits down at his desk.

"Look can we just get this over with already so I can get out of here."

"We will in a few minutes we have another gentleman joining us I've talked to him and he'll be here very shortly." He tells me as he shuffles through paperwork.

That throws me through a hoop because I honestly hadn't expected anyone to be here but myself. Not even two minutes later the door opens again and I'm pretty sure a look of shock briefly flickers across my face.

It's Chris Jericho a guy I haven't seen in years not since the night Mike was born. I've since put the pieces together that he and Chris had been had been close but I'd hadn't seen this man (with the exception of TV) since I had met him. I wonder what he's doing here I would guess that he and Chris were still friends but my Chris never really spoke of him.

He looks a little surprised to see myself as well before he walks in and sits down next to me. I give him a sideways glance I can tell that Chris' passing has affected him pretty bad as well he has bags under his eyes and the light I've seen him have on TV is very absent. I can't blame him though I've barely slept a wink since I've heard the news.

"I'm sure you both know why I've called you here today." He tells us as he put on his glasses.

Chris just shakes his head in agreement.

"No, I really don't could tell us." I tell him unsurely.

"Well I'm sure you both know I was 's attorney and I'm here because he's wanted me to read you hi both his last will and testament."

"I didn't know he had a will." I voice.

"Well do you have any questions." he asks.

"Yeah well who's going to take care of Mike," I ask.

"Yeah I think that would be the most important thing here." Chris pipes up for the first time.

"Well as you both know Chris parents and living in a retirement community and Eddie's mother has had bouts with her heath in past so Chris didn't think either would be in a good position to take him." He tells us as he flips through papers.

"So Chris though it would be a good idea for you," he points in Chris's direction. "And you," he now points to me. "To be dual guardians," He smiles. "So congratulation's to the both of you."

"Wait what." Chris and I utter at the same time.

"This has got to be a mistake we aren't even together I mean I barely know him," I tell the attorney.

"Chris told me he had talks with Eddie many years ago and that if they had both passed it would be good for two people who they could trust to raise their child."

"But this is crazy!" I exclaim. "He hasn't even been around Michael for two years!"

"Hey don't get on my back about this!" Chris yells. "I don't even know you how do I know that you can even be fit to raise Mike!"

"Can I ask the two of you to go outside and talk about this in a calm manner?" the attorney offers.

He and I are then on our feet and out the door we get down the hall before I turn to him.

"I've been fit for the past year whenever Chris had needed me to!" I confirm. "But what about you just up and left and now what you think you can just waltz back in."

"I know I haven't been around lately but I've still been in his life longer than you have!" Chris bellows.

"Why didn't you come back then huh?" I ask him harshly. "I know that Chris had it so hard after he lost Eddie and you were so close to both of them so why didn't you come back!" I demanded.

"Because I lost Eddie too!" he screamed.

I just stare not sure what to say.

"I wanted some time off because I was burnt out on wrestling, but I was going to come back in a few months." He says as he wipes away a tear.

"Then I heard about Eddie and it hit me hard. Eddie was loved by everyone and he was the most amazing friend right next to Chris. I was going to come back but I just kept pushing it back because it was hard." he sniffs. "Now Chris is gone it hurts so much especially I've barely seen him or Mike since Eddie's funeral".

I don't say a word I just listen.

"This is so hard for me but I don't care what you say because I'll be there for that kid with or without you because now he lost both of his last parents!" he cries and punches a wall.

I'm not sure what makes me but I pull into my arm so try and calm him down and he just allows me too as I walks us over to a bench and we just both sit there not saying a word for the longest time before I speak up.

"Look I may not know you very well and you don't know me very well but I think it would be in the best interest of this kid that we try to do this."

He clears his throat. "You want to raise Mikey together?" He croaks.

I notice I'm still sort of holding him so I let go of him. "Yeah if you would want too that is." I tell him.

He looks down at his hands before turning to me. "Yeah I would like that." He says as he awkwardly extends his hand and I shake it.

"Then I guess we're parents then."
