A/N: I only own my OC's.

*Baby?*

"How did you know I was pregnant?" I asked surprised, I surely didn't tell him.

"Maxi, did you forget? You told the nurse right away in the ER with me right beside you."

"Oh yeah, I suppose I would've," I said, that faithful night coming back to me. Those god awful cramps suddenly springing back to life inside me. I inhaled sharply and mentally calmed myself.

"Will you tell me? Its been hard not to know. I know its not any of my business."

"Why do you care? Its not like it was your baby," I said rolling onto my side facing away from him

"Hey, if you don't wanna talk about it you don't have to. I care about you and it's a part of you no matter what happened."

"Adam, I lost the baby!" I sobbed out.

"It'll be ok, Maxi. Let me help you get through this." Adam pulled me into his arms.

"Your so sweet and on TV your such a jerk." I said thinking about his Edge persona.

Adam chuckled at the comparison. "Well Edge is a character, but I'm Adam Copeland."

"Funny thing is, I don't know who I like more," I kidded watching Adams face turn with disappointment.

"You like my character more than the real me?" He pouted.

"I like Edge, he's funny entertaining, and the look on his face when he's about to Spear someone..mmm."

"But I really, really like you, Adam. So sweet and caring, the man who just about gave me the shirt off his back and I was just a fan."

"You want the shirt off my back? Here!" Adam grinned and pulled his shirt off dropping it into my lap. Playing into the coy flirtations.

I cuddled the shirt overly affectionately.

"I love this shirt. So much in fact I think I'll wear it," two could play this game. I unbuttoned my own shirt, darting looks at him as I worked the buttons slowly. His hand darted out to cup a breast. I shooed his hand away and tugged the shirt on.

"Don't tease me, Maxi," Adam growled playfully with a longing look in his eyes.

"Whatcha going to do about it?" I persisted and squealed in surprise when he pounced on me.

His hands where everywhere and his mouth was pressed on mine, demanding mine to open. I gave in and opened letting our tongues play.

"Adam, not so fast." I said breaking away.

"Don't you want me?" He hissed in my ear.

"I do want you, but I don't want to rush things. Lets take it slow. Do you want a relationship or a night with me?"

"A relationship." He replied so quickly he couldn't have thought about it and I knew he meant it.

"Than lets do it right. Go on dates, seduce each other, tease each other. Take things slow and build a bond. That's one thing mine and Steve's relationship lacked. A strong foundation, maybe that's why he hit me."

"Maxine, don't ever blame yourself for what he did!"

"But I was always doing things wrong. I'd make him wait for me, or cook his food wrong. One time I burnt a whole in his shirt with an iron."

"Maxi there's no reason ever for a man to hit a woman. I don't care if he was wearing that shirt when you burnt it. He's the only one responsible for his actions. And one day he's gonna get his." Adam said his voice harsh and a look of anger in his eyes as he spoke.

"What does that mean?" I asked worriedly.

"It means if I ever see him again I don't know what I'll do to him. I know it wont be pretty."

"Adam, don't be crazy. He could and would sue you for every penny you got. Heck you could probably get fired for it if he pushed hard enough."

"They won't fire me, I'm one of their top guys. Besides I'm not stupid, I can control my emotions and actions. I might want to kill him, but in the end I know that wouldn't fix anything."

"No it wouldn't. Nothing you or anyone else can do will ever right his wrongs. Even jail time still wouldn't make it up to me. Lets go to bed, in the same bed."

"Ok, but if your going to wear my shirt, I want you in that and your panties and that's it."

"No hanky panky," I teased waving a finger in his face.

"No hanky panky." He agreed holding his hands up. "Unless you want some hanky panky that is," he added grinning flirtatiously at me.
