Kylie went into her ex-husband's hospital room and shook her head at the sight of him. Jalen's father, who now has been identified as Nicholas Harrington, looked completely frail and thin. He's lost a lot of weight and his skin was pale as a ghost. It was clear that he's losing this fight a lot faster than he expected.

Truth be told, a part of her didn't wanna be here, but she's the only person he has right now and that's sad. Nick's family doesn't wanna have anything to do with him after what they learned about him. They even refused to visit him; telling Kylie that they lost all love and respect for Nick after what he put her and Jalen through. And just the thought of what he tried to do to Jalen made them sick to their stomachs. Nick was gonna die alone; with no one to be there to say goodbye to him.

"She's not coming, isn't she?" he asked when he saw her walk in.

Kylie shook her head as she sat down on the chair. "I'm sorry, Nick. She hates you."

"Can't say I blame her. I hurt her too much. Still, I would like to apologize to her," he replied groggily.

"It's not gonna happen, Nick. She's not coming to see you and quite frankly, I don't blame her. You put her through so much hell. You're the reason why she's so damaged now," she said, her voice raising a little.

"Don't you think I know that, Kylie? Don't you think I know what I had done?" Nick questioned, getting upset.

"No, you really don't. You really don't know what you caused. Because of you, she's in an abusive relationship with someone she also works with. Because of you, she's pregnant with his baby. Because of you, her life continues to spiral out of control. What were you thinking when you tried to rape her that night?" she asked, glaring at her ex-husband.

Nick sighed, then he coughed again. "I wasn't thinking at the time. I have no excuses. I have nothing. I'm gonna die a bitter old man. I'm gonna die alone."

"Damn right you are. I came here to tell you that this is the last time I'm gonna visit you. I'm moving on my with my life. I got a career and I have a new life over in Phoenix. Despite the problems she's facing right now, Jalen's moving on, too. She doesn't wanna have anything to do with you anymore. It's time to let go," Kylie said as she got up and headed towards the door.

"Kylie, if there's any consolation, I don't blame you for wanting to leave me, too. I just couldn't let you take Jalen away," he said, his voice scratchy.

She closed her hazel eyes and sighed. "Yeah, and look what happened, Nick. I'm partly to blame for what you did to her. Goodbye, Nicholas."

As he watched his ex-wife walk out of his life once for all, Nick leaned back against the bed in agony and sighed in frustration. All he wanted was to apologize to Jalen for what he had done to her, but she hates him and will never forgive him for what he had done. And Kylie was right; Nick was responsible for Jalen's complicated life.

He just hope that he'll be able to see his daughter one more time before God calls him home.

Jalen was all kinds of nervous when she headed towards Nexus's locker room. She knew she had to do this or else she'll go completely insane. It has been two weeks since she last seen Wade and hopefully after tonight, she'll be able to see less and less of him. Now that she's having a baby, her number one priority is her baby's health and safety.

When she finally reached her destination, she took a deep breath and let out a frustrated sigh. Truth be told, she was still scared, but she can't live like this anymore. Wade had done an excellent job of making her life a living fucking hell and he has managed to break her down into a weak, defenseless person. Well, it's not gonna happen anymore. She's taking a stand. For once in her life, she's gonna be getting control of her life again and no one's gonna be able to take it away from her.

Taking another deep breath, she pushed the door open and walked right inside.

Wade was sitting on the bench, his head hung low and he was breathing very heavily. He didn't even notice anyone coming in; he just assumed it was one of his teammates. However, when he finally raised his head up to see who came him, his expression went from frustration to anger.

"So you finally decided to come back where you fucking belong, huh, bitch?" he snarled at the person standing by the door.

Jalen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Wade, I didn't come here so you can belittle me. I can't handle it anymore."

"You can't handle it anymore? What the fuck is that all about? I don't even see you within the last two weeks and now you're telling me you can't handle it anymore? Bitch, are you fucking crazy?" he snapped as he bolted from the bench.

"Wade, listen..." she said, only to be cut off.

"No, you fucking listen! No one else can have you! I've told you before about defying me, but this takes the fucking cake! And, now, you're carrying that bastard child of mine! I told you to get rid of it!" he screamed right into her face.

She took a step back and placed her hand on the doorknob. "I'm not getting an abortion and I'm not giving it up for adoption. That's the reason why I'm here, Wade. I knew you didn't wanna have anything to do with our baby, so I made a decision."

He grabbed her arm roughly and yanked her towards him. "Don't forget who you're talking to here, bitch! If anyone's gonna making decisions, it's gonna be me!"

Jalen snatched her arm away from him. "You see? This is what I'm talking about. I can't handle you hurting me anymore. I can't handle letting your cronies hurting me. I can't handle you disrespecting me ever again. I'm sick and tired of it all! Most of all, I'm sick and tired of you!"

Wade's eyes were wide open in shock and disbelief. "What the fuck are you saying, Jalen?"

"I'm saying...we are through! We are done! I don't ever wanna see you again! It's over! I should've done this a long time ago, but you just can't handle when a woman's fed up, can you? Well, I'm fed up with everything you had done to me! You turned out to be just like my father, who's now laying in the hospital with advanced lung cancer. You're gonna end up like him one of these days! I hate you, Stu Bennett!" she screamed before she yanked the door open and stormed right out of the locker room, leaving him alone to comprehend what had just happened.

Anger and humiliation boiled in his veins. His face was scrunched up into a irate scowl and all you could hear was him breathing heavily. He balled his hands up into tight fists and he let out a primal scream. He couldn't believe what just happened. Jalen had broken up with him.

No one breaks up with Wade Barrett and gets away with it. After everything he had done to keep her under his control, she took it all away from him just by breaking up with him. He's gonna let her know how pissed off he really is. She's gonna think twice about hurting him.

So you think I turned out to be like your dead beat father? Bitch, you don't know what I'm capable of! Just you wait, Jalen! You're gonna pay for this, cunt! You're gonna fucking pay!

"I still can't believe we're doing this, man. Why can't Wade just break up with her?" David complained as he and Justin crept around the women's locker room, which was empty, thanks to them looking around and making sure no one else was there.

"He won't let her go. The man's obsessed, I'll admit it. But, he just doesn't want this baby in his life. Instead of her giving the baby up for adoption or even getting an abortion, he wants to make sure she doesn't even have it," Justin explained as he pulled the contaminated water bottle out of his small hand bag and placed it right on the bench.

"Still, he should be happy that he's gonna be a father. When my son was born, it was the happiest time of my life. I'd do anything for him," David said, thinking about his son.

"You're not Wade. He doesn't want this baby and it's up to us to make sure the plan goes through with no problems," Justin said as he opened the door and poked his head to see if anyone was standing out in the hallway. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found the hallway to be empty.

"Well?" David asked, pressing to find out something.

"Coast is clear. Let's get the hell out of here," Justin said as he pushed the door wide open.

As the two principal members of Nexus headed back towards their locker room, Barbie Blank a.k.a. Kelly Kelly pushed the door open to her locker room and walked right inside after an intense workout moments ago. The Florida native sat her soaked towel down at the bench and was about to head for the showers when she noticed a bottle of water was sitting out not too far from where she dropped her towel. The beautiful blond realized that she forgot to get some water from the canteen, so for the bottle to be sitting out was actually a blessing. Kelly reached over and grabbed the bottle, twisted the cap open and began drinking the clear liquid; completely unaware that another substance had dissolved in the water.

After finishing the bottle, she threw it in the waste basket, then she grabbed her towel and went straight into the bathroom.

The last thing you heard was the shower running.

Feeling much more calm than she was several minutes ago, Jalen headed towards John's locker room. Breaking up with Wade was a tough thing to do, but it had to be done because she couldn't handle getting hurt by him anymore. She knew he'd be pissed off, she knew he'd get more and more violet and she knew he wasn't gonna take this lying down.

If she had stayed with him, there's no telling what would happen next.

When she finally arrived, she quickly pushed the door open and walked right inside. She found John sitting on the bench and listening to his mp3 player. When he finally looked up and saw her standing inside his locker room, he pulled his headphones off of his ears, stood up and went over to where she was standing.

"Hey, beautiful. How are you doing? Did you get something to eat?" he asked right away, placing his large calloused hand over her belly.

Jalen smiled at her new boyfriend. "I'm fine. I did eat. The baby and I are doing great. Listen, I want to tell you something and don't get mad at me."

"What is it, baby?" he asked as they both sat down on the sofa.

"Well, I went to see Wade. It's official, John. I've broken up with him," she confessed.

"Y-you broke up with him? Did that son of a bitch hurt you?" he asked, getting angry, but not enough to scare her. The last thing he wants to do is scare her.

"He grabbed my arm, but nothing else happened, other than he was yelling and screaming at me. I made it clear that I never wanted to see him again. It's time I start living for me and my baby. Furthermore, I'm now gonna be living for you," she replied, which made him relax. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead gently.

"I'm happy for you, Jalen. And you know I'll be here for you," he assured her.

"John, I'd be honored if you would be the father of my baby," she said, looking into his blue eyes.

He was surprised at her suggestion. "Jalen, that's a big thing for you to ask. Are you sure you want me?"

"I'm positive. John, I love you so much, it hurts. You've been so good to me through everything. I want my baby to know that there's a least one good man out there who'll be there for the both of us. And that man is you," she explained, still looking at him.

"Well, in that case, I'd be more than honored to be the father of your baby," he said, smiling at her.

Their lips were just mere inches away from each other. She closed her eyes and felt his breath on her face. Within seconds, their lips met tenderly and gently. Jalen felt flutters in her stomach and her heart was beating madly. No one has ever kissed like this before and it has brought up some memories that she didn't want to even think about.

Until John came along and healed her broken heart. Now she's ready to move on.

As they kissed tenderly, they were unaware that a shocking tragedy struck outside their locker room.

And everyone's lives will be forever changed.

Coming up in the next chapter: Jalen learns Kelly Kelly drank the water that was really meant for the Houston native. Will Kelly be okay? Meanwhile, Wade continues to lash out following his breakup with Jalen. And John and Jalen's newfound relationship continues to progress. Will someone get in the way? Stay tuned!
