Part 10

Taker looked at her, stunned. "How is that possible? We never slept together."

"What? You forgot about Wrestlemania? You forgot how you savagely raped me?"

"But I-" Taker suddenly realized that she was right. His victim was pregnant with his child. "Oh, no..."

"Yeah, that's right, Deadman. I'm carrying your unborn child."

"Oh, damn..." Taker swore.

"Now what do you have to say for yourself?"

Taker looked at Stephanie. "Xandra doesn't know, right?"

"That you're the father? No, she does not know...yet."

"Good. You're not going to tell her."

"Says who? You?"

"Yeah. It won't matter anyway. Once the child is born, I'll take it away from you and Xandra and I will raise it as our own."

"I don't think so. You don't deserve to be anywhere near my baby."

"Well, it is my kid, too. And I have every right to take the child from you. Look at you. You're obviously not in the right state of mind to take care of a child."

"Really? Gee, I wonder why that is."

"Hey, I'm only trying to help you out here. Xandra and I take the kid, you don't tell her anything, we'll all live happily ever after."

"Wrong again. You took away my innocence when you took my virginity. You lost your rights to claim this child when you raped me at Wrestlemania. You don't get to take anything else from me. Not my life, and especially not my baby. You got that?"

"Stephanie!" Xandra's voice called out. "Is Taker here yet?"

"Yeah, he's here!" Stephanie replied. "Xandra will find out the truth about you soon enough. The question is, will she hear it from me? I suggest you think about that if you don't want to lose her...which I still think is inevitable now more than ever."

Xandra soon came downstairs. "Hello, handsome." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "What's going on down here?"

"I was just wishing Stephanie all the best with her new bundle of joy." Taker replied.

"In his own way." Stephanie added.

"That's great. Shall we?" Xandra asked.

"Let's go." Taker said. "After all, we have more wedding talk to take care of."

Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"I should be back in a couple of hours." Xandra said.

"OK." Stephanie said. As soon as Xandra and Taker made their exit, Stephanie grabbed a pillow, put her face on it and let out a scream. She then threw the pillow back on the sofa.

"God, I can't stand him!" She yelled. She then took several deep breaths. She had to remain calm for the sake of her unborn child.

"I'm sorry, little one. But your father just makes me so sick. Like I said, he doesn't deserve to know anything about you. He may try to take you away from me, but I promise you, I won't let that happen. He knows I hold his future in my hands. If I have to, I'll hit him where it hurts the most. There's nothing stopping me from telling Xandra about him now. He won't know when it'll happen, but trust me...it will happen."
