(In the last chapter, Bray and Dean both showed up to see Noah and Eliza. Bray got Noah a balloon and a toy dinosaur, and he got Eliza flowers. Eliza was caught up in the moment and gave Bray a kiss on the cheek. As bad timing would have it, that was when Dean showed up. Too make things even more confusing for Eliza, Dean surprised her with a kiss. Eliza was worried about Dean and Bray fighting at the hospital. They both agreed that it wasn't the time and place and that they would settle their problems in the ring. Eliza somehow fell asleep, she thought one day she may be up for a relationship, but she wanted to focus on being a mother first. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.)

Between Enemy Lines

Chapter Ten

Bray and Dean would look back and forth between Eliza and Noah, but would mainly glare at each other to see who moved first. Eliza couldn't stay awake and fell asleep right between them. She felt awkward being between them, and she couldn't look at Noah without crying so at some point, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. Dean and Bray didn't say anything all night, they only watched over Noah and Eliza, and watched each other hoping that the other would leave. Noah actually woke up at some point. He wasn't happy about being hooked up to machines, and he was scared. Sleeping through the night seemed to have helped him a little, but he was still sick. He didn't see his mother beside him and started crying. Both Dean and Bray looked over at Noah, then at Eliza. She jumped awake when she heard Noah calling for her.

"Momma! Momma!"

Eliza got up from her spot and ran over to Noah, almost forgetting that Dean and Bray were in the room.

"Momma is here baby."

Noah stopped crying when she came over and took his hand.

"Momma!... Wanna go home."

"I know baby... we can't go home yet. You have to get better."

Noah started picking at the oxygen tube he was hooked up to. Eliza grabbed his hand to stop him.

"No Noah... you can't do that. You have to leave that in... its to help you breathe and feel better."

"Scared Momma..."

"I know baby... Momma is scared too. You need to get better."

Eliza kissed Noah's head. She saw the toy dinosaur under the covers, Noah must not have seen it yet. She smiled slightly trying to change the mood.

"Hey Noah... Bray got you a toy dinosaur. It's under the cover."

Noah looked under the cover and smiled when he saw the dinosaur and hugged it.

Even though he was sick, just seeing the smile on Noah's face was enough to light up her world.

"What do you say to Bray Noah?"

Noah hugged the dinosaur and smiled.

"Thank you."

Bray looked over at Noah and smile.

"You're very welcome."

Dean sat on the other side of the room feeling completely jealous and was thinking about leaving. Eliza then turned her attention to Dean. He might not have got Noah anything, but it was still there.

"Noah... Dean is here too... Bray and Dean both came here when they heard you were sick. They wanted to see if you were ok. They both came here to see you... what do you say to them?"

"Thank you."

Eliza knew they both had to get going to the next town. She wanted to make sure that when they left, they wouldn't fight. Noah seemed busy playing with his dinosaur.

"Thank you both for coming. I really didn't know either of you were coming. Thank you both for being here... not just for me, but for Noah too... I know the two of you can't stand each other, but you both mean something to me and I don't want to lose either of you. I'm up to the idea of a relationship one day. Right now, I'm just really confused about how I feel, and I need to focus on being a mother first. You both care for me... and Noah, otherwise you guys wouldn't be here. I didn't ask for you guys to come into mine and Noah's lives, I didn't ask for these feelings... it's just something that happened. One thing I'm worried about is, at some point... I know I'm going to have to choose between the two of you... I just don't know if I can do that without hurting one of you, myself, or Noah in the process... I'm afraid Noah is going to get too attached... just like I am. I never thought I would trust a man... not after what happened, but I feel safe around both of you. Both of you stayed overnight... it seems like you're trying to see who will stay the longest... I promise, I'll be ok here on my own, both of you need to get going to the next town. I can already tell Noah is getting better, but the doctor may still keep him here for a few days. I will need to talk to both of you whenever I get back on the road again.

Dean seemed a bit unhappy about this.

"So... you're kicking us out?"

Bray spoke up.

"That's her nice way of saying it... she wants us both to leave Ambrose... I said I would stay as long as she wanted me to stay."

Noah had a bad cough and they all briefly turned their attention to him before Bray continued talking.

"That's not going to be a problem now is it Dean?"

Dean knew this wasn't the place or time, but wanted to kick Bray's ass. He balled his hands up into a fist and had to keep his cool.

"Not at all... I'll see you around Eliza."

"Bye Dean."

It wasn't long that after Dean left, Bray left the room too. Bray still spotted Dean in the hallway.

"This is not the time, nor the place to fight Ambrose... out of respect for Eliza, and Noah... I suggest you leave before something happens."

"Is that a threat Wyatt?... We don't have to fight in here, but we can take this down to the parking lot."

"It's like I said Dean... we will settle this in the ring."

Dean didn't say anything else, he just turned around and stormed down the hallway. If he would have stayed much longer, he probably would have fought Bray right then and there. He didn't know Bray was going to show up and he really didn't expect to see Eliza kiss him. Dean was thinking, at least he showed up, but he felt like Bray had one upped him because he showed up with a balloon and dinosaur toy for Noah, and flowers for Eliza. Dean smirked to himself, he might have one upped Bray because he kissed Eliza on the lips. He didn't care if Bray knew about it or not, but he knew Eliza definitely felt something when he kissed her. Maybe she had already decided on Bray, but when Dean kissed her, it made her think again. Eliza said she wanted to focus more on being a mom, but Dean wasn't going to give up on making her his. Bray was trying to be patient, but he was worried about Eliza falling for Dean. All he knew was, if Dean stepped out of line, they would settle their issues in the ring. Dean and Bray both had to go to the next town. Eliza had to stay with Noah. They stayed in the hospital for about a week. She was lonely and worried about Noah. Becky would call and check up on her and tell her what was going on with Bray and Dean.

"Hey Liza... Bray and Dean have been putting each other through hell in the ring this week. I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking at all when I called Bray and Dean, I just didn't want you to be alone, and I had to leave at the time... so both of them showed up?"

"They did... it was really sweet, but at the same time awkward and stressful... I'm really confused about how I feel about them."

"Why? What happened?"

"Well... Bray showed up first, he brought Noah a balloon and a toy dinosaur and he got me flowers."

"Bray did?... wow... that was sweet of him. I never thought Bray was really the romantic type."

"I was just so caught up in the moment... I kissed him."

"You kissed him?!"

"It was just a kiss on the cheek, but that was the exact moment Dean came and he was pissed off. I didn't know he was coming. I had to go talk to him to calm him down, but then he kissed me... and I mean a real kiss."

"Dang girl... does Bray know?"

"I don't know... I'm just really confused. I don't know what to do... I think I have feelings for both of them. I mean... I never thought I'd have feelings for anyone. I might be up for a relationship someday, but right now I need to focus on being a mom. Noah comes first. I'm really confused about Bray and Dean... what do I do Becky?"

"I don't really know the answer to that. Dean has a bit of a temper and I don't know much about Bray, but they both seem to be good to you. I don't think you could really go wrong with either of them."

"I'm just worried about making the wrong choice... I don't want to lose either of them."

"That's a tough one Liza... I wish I could help you, but I guess if they both care about you, one of them would be ok with the friendzone. If they really care about you, it wouldn't matter to them if you're friends or something more."

"I'll have to talk to both of them."

"Well how is Noah?"

"He's getting better. We've been here for about a week. I've been worried about him, but the doctor said that they will release him tomorrow... So maybe I'll see you and the girls tomorrow. If you can, maybe keep things quiet. I don't know if I want to deal with Bray or Dean. Maybe you and the girls can stay close, they don't seem to bother me if you girls are around."

"Ok, no problem, if Dean and Bray come around, we'll tell them to back off."

"Thanks... hopefully I'll see you girls tomorrow and I'll actually get some work done."

"Yeah well take it easy Liza. Tell Noah I said hey."

"I will. Talk to you later Becky."

Eliza hung up the phone, then went over to Noah. He spent most of his time in the hospital sleeping, he gradually got better day by day. Eliza kissed his head and held his hand and talked quietly to him making sure she didn't wake him up.

"We get to get out of here tomorrow. I know, you're so tired of being here, I am too. Tomorrow you'll be able to run around and play again."

Eliza looked at Noah, he was sleeping with the dinosaur Bray got him. Noah seemed really cozy with it and Eliza smiled thinking back to Bray. He brought her flowers that day, she didn't know if it was just what she was feeling at the moment or if she actually had feelings for Bray, but she kissed him on the cheek. Then she thought back to Dean, he caught her by surprise when he kissed her, but she would be lying if she said she didn't feel anything. She wasn't cheating on anyone, she wasn't in a relationship, but she felt bad because she had kissed Bray right as Dean was coming in and felt bad for him. She also didn't expect for Dean to kiss her so she felt bad for Bray because she also had feelings for Dean. Dean had saved her from being raped, but Bray was there for her when she passed out in the hallway. Bray stuck by her and made sure she ate. They both cared about her. She was afraid of hurting someone's feeling and pissing off the wrong person. The next day Eliza got to the arena she walked really quietly and slowly tonher work station hoping she wouldn't run into Bray or Dean. Luckily for her, she ran into Becky and a few of the other girls first. Noah was sitting playing with his cars and dinosaur. Dean came walking up, Eliza did her best not to look at him.

"Hey Eliza, good to see you and Noah back."

Eliza was trying to work and Becky stepped up.

"Dean... not to be rude or anything, but Eliza has a bit of work to do. I think with what's been going on, you've kind of been distracting her."

Dean seemed annoyed.

"I just wanted to come by and see how she and Noah were doing. And you want to talk about me distracting her... how is she supposed to get any work done with you girls around with all your girl talk?"

"She wants us around to keep you and Bray away."

Dean was angry and hurt at this.

"If I was bothering you that bad and you didn't want me around, why didn't you just say something?"

Dean turned around and went the other way. Eliza stopped what she was doing and saw him walking away. She couldn't let him walk away like this. She looked over at Becky and the other girls. They knowingly gave her a nod and let her know that Noah would be ok with them. Eliza ran after Dean.

"Dean... please, let me explain."

"Now you want to talk to me?"

"I know, I should have talked to you when you got here and not have other people deal with my problems."

"So I'm a problem now?"

"No... Dean... I'm just really confused about go I feel ok? Becky said you and Bray have been fighting."

"Well yeah... we had scheduled matches, but I also want Bray to back off. I met you first... why did you kiss him Eliza?"

"I don't know... maybe it was just a heat of the moment thing. He showed up at the hospital, he got Noah a toy and he got me flowers... I don't know if I have feelings for him, or if it was just a heat of the moment thing."

"Well... what we have isn't just a heat of the moment thing... I'm crazy about you Eliza... that guy almost got you in the parking lot. You said he already did..."

"He did... two years ago... which explains why Noah is around. He was going to finish what he started... he was going to kill me that night and take Noah... he could have killed Noah too. I'm just really confused about how I feel. I don't want to lose you, or Bray. I can't deny that I felt something when you kissed me, but at the same time, it didn't feel right."

Dean was quiet for a minute. He was calm, but there was sadness in his voice.

"You have feelings for him."

"Yeah maybe, but I have feelings for you too Dean... I just don't want to hurt or piss off the wrong person. I want both of you in my life."

"You can't have both of us Eliza... sooner or later, you're going to have to make a choice. Will you at least do me a favor and let me know instead of leaving me hanging."

Eliza nodded.

"I'll let you know as soon as I decide something."

Dean then nodded like he understood, then kept walking the way he wanted to go. As Eliza was coming back, to her work station, she ran into Bray. She sighed as she knew she would have to explain the same thing all over again. Bray was smiling at her.

"There you are Eliza. I was looking for you. I saw Noah back there. He seemed happy to be back."

"Bray... I was just talking to Dean."

Bray's smile seemed to fade once she mentioned Dean.

"What did you say to him?"

"That I'm really confused about how I feel... you came to the hospital to see me and Noah... honestly I don't know if it was just the heat of the moment when I kissed you, or if I actually have feelings for you, but then Dean had to show up and confuse me... he kissed me and I'm really confused because I think I have feelings for both of you. I don't want to hurt either one of you. Becky said you two were fighting, and that doesn't make things any easier on me. I'm not just afraid of losing one of you, but I'm afraid of losing both of you... I don't know how, when, or why it happened, but both of you came into my life around the same time... I was so afraid of men, I avoided men, but both of you came along and you've both helped me. I know I'm going to have to make a choice, but I still want both of you in my life."

Bray had a different answer from Dean.

"I told you not to worry about labels. I'm here for you... whether it's as a friend, or as something more... the choice is up to you."

Bray wasn't sure what Eliza was feeling, but he could tell that she definitely had some feelings for Dean. He tried not to show it, but as Bray walked away, Eliza could sense sadness. Dean seemed more pissed off, but there was sadness with him too. They were both willing to let Eliza decide, but both of them were willing to fight for her. What they didn't know is that they wouldn't just be fighting a battle between the two of them, but as soon as Eliza went back to her work table, there was a lawyer waiting for her. It was a lawyer for the guy that had raped her. The guy wasn't there with the lawyer, but the lawyer delivered troublesome news. There would be a court date over who gets custody over Noah. Eliza didn't lose Noah from his sickness, but there was a chance she could lose him in court. Eliza did what she could to take care of Noah, his dad was never there for him, Eliza would struggle with Noah, the court would decide whether or not Eliza was able to take care of Noah. They would do what they thought was best for Noah. All of her friends were gone now to get ready for their matches. Eliza looked over at Noah. He was eating a snack, she couldn't bare the thought of losing Noah. It wasn't the way she imagined having a baby, but she would rather die than lose Noah.

(To be continued. We'll figure out when they'll have to go to court. What a bad time to push Dean and Bray away. She needs someone to be there with her. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading. Review.)
