Back at the hospital, Matt was intrigued. Jeff had brought some of Matt's laptop to the hospital and hooked it up. For the last half hour he had searched his name on google, mystified by how many loved him and the support from whatever 'myspace' was.

Thousands of girls left comments on the page, wishing him well. It excited him knowing people thought that way of him.

He even went onto a video site he found, looking at some of his own wrestling matches. "I'm awesome," Matt declared happily.


At the night's arena – hour from hospital

"Eve?" Vince McMahon said as he waved her into his temporary office. He was making a special appearance backstage that week, apparently to deal with some trouble concerning the creative team.

Eve's head snapped up and she was quick to follow in after him. She was terrified about her upcoming actions, especially since she had not told Lisa Marie about her plans. Maybe it was the motherly instinct kicking in, or maybe she just knew lying would kill her in the end, but she couldn't hide her pregnancy from her job much longer. How long until she showed, after all?

"Mr. McMahon," Eve replied. "Thank you for taking time to talk with me."

Vince nodded, eyes studying the brunette. Everyone knew she was a beautiful woman and Vince was puzzled by her frazzled appearance and worried expression. "How can I help you, Eve?"

She sighed, looking down at her interlocked hands. "I need to ask for my release."

Vince didn't say anything at first and Eve didn't dare look up. Vince scared her, truthfully and she didn't want to deal with an infuriated boss. "Why?" he asked finally, his tone so simple it seemed like the two were long time friends.

"I… um…" Should she just say it? Save the silence for a later time or date? Eve shook her head. "I'm sure you heard about Matt," Eve tried again.

Vince chuckled. "As the boss of his company, yes. It's a very sad day for us," he explained. "My family and I hope he gets well soon. But Eve, dear, I don't see what this has to do with your release from your contract. You're working so hard in Florida, soon to debut in the ring. Why would you want to be released?"

Eve shuttered, biting down on her lip. "Mr. McMahon, sir, I uh… well last night, I… I'm sort of holding… Matt's baby." Before Vince could even speak, she hung her head low, ready for one of his well known outbursts.

"Are you sure?" he replied calmly. "There isn't a possible mistake?"

"No sir," Eve mumbled.

"How far along are you?"

"Not too long, I guess. I just found out."

"You can't wrestle then," Vince figured out, nodding. "I see."

"Yes sir."

Vince went quiet as he shuffled some papers on the temporary desk. The older man seemingly was not going to yell at her, which relieved Eve. "You know," Vince started, "I could give you your release. But…"

"But?"

Vince smiled as Eve looked up, a terrified look on her face. He secretly loved how afraid everyone was of him; he enjoyed the monopoly power he held. "I think we could work something out with creative and FCW to keep you around. As an interviewer still, maybe. Perhaps even a valet for another talent."

Eve couldn't speak, she was too shocked by Vince's suggestion to do so. A pregnant diva staying around?

"How does that sound, sweetheart?" Vince asked.

Eve continued to be flabbergasted. "Uh… I, um… thank… y-you sir," she stumbled. "That would be wonderful."

Vince nodded. "Good. I'll talk with creative and FCW. Someone will be in contact with you." He smiled a sleazy smile at Eve before adding, "Have a good day, Eve."

Eve stumbled out of the room, much to shocked to see who was coming toward her. When she spotted him, her face drained even more. And he could never ignore someone who looked as frightened as Eve did. Eve cursed as he grew closer.

"Eve?" the person asked. "Are you okay?"

Jeff Hardy caught the girl as she stumbled toward him, eyes much like one of a frightened deer. His eyes looked into Vince's office and smiled a little. "Going in for a meeting with Vince can be scary, but it shouldn't leave you stumbling," he joked.

Eve attempted as smile as she straightened herself, smoothing her skirt. "I'm fine."

The younger Hardy brother wasn't easily convinced. Her face was the color of his white armbands. "Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost." He chuckled softly, though stopped when she didn't smile or laugh too. "Anything I can help with?"

It's the perfect moment, a voice in her head scolded. You have to tell him!

"No," she replied. "I was just leaving and got a little dizzy. I think I'm coming down with a cold."

"Oh." Jeff shuffled as they came to the exit. "So, I just have a question. I went to visit my brother at the hospital not too long ago and one of the nurses told me a brunette woman with a pretty smile came to visit and claimed to be his girlfriend…"

Eve wanted to freeze and break down as Jeff began to explain this. She was caught! What was she going to say?

"I figured, you know, maybe one of you girls lied to get in and visit him. Did you, Lisa, or Maria go to visit him? The woman couldn't describe the girl to well and it wasn't Amy Dumas. I got a hold of her."

Eve struggled as she tried to come up with an answer. She knew lying to the younger Hardy brother wasn't smart and would only hurt her in the end, but she didn't know how to deal with her newest situation. All she wanted to do was cry in the corner for the rest of her life… or until the baby was born.

"Nope," Eve said quickly, "It wasn't me. I'll ask the other girls though. Maybe it was Maria."

Jeff nodded, though he studied her. "Yeah… maybe. I'll talk to you soon, okay? Stop by the hospital soon. Matt's awake… he's sort of got a case of amnesia, so he needs all the support he can right now. Maybe seeing some more of his friends and co-workers will jog his memory… you know?"

Eve forced a smile. There was no way she was going to the hospital to visit Matt. If she jogged his memory, it would lead to potentially disastrous results. She'd rather take on The Great Khali in the ring than go to the hospital and visit Matt, as horrible as it sounded. Sure, he was holding her baby, but right now, she needed space; time to think things through and figure out a plan. Maybe then she could, but not now.

"Sure," Eve lied again. "I'll try. I'm flying out to FCW tomorrow. Maybe before I leave."

Jeff smiled, tapping her shoulder. "Great. I'll relay the news."

He took off then, leaving Eve standing in the doorway of the arena, unsure if she was ever going to be able to face either Hardy ever again.

Just as Eve went to leave herself, another voice followed her. "You're going to regret that one day, Eve," Lisa Marie scolded, slapping the younger Diva on the arm. "Why didn't you tell him?" she demanded.

Eve sighed, shaking her head. "I can't!"

"You can!" Lisa said back, shaking her shoulders. "All you're going to do now is hurt yourself. That man – Matt Hardy – is the father of your child, your child. He deserves to know as does the baby's uncle. You can't keep lying about—"

"Why can't you mind your own damn business?" Eve yelled, shoving the veteran. "You have no idea how hard this is for me!"

Eve went to run, but Lisa caught her. "Actually, I do," she whispered in a grave voice. "When I was nineteen, I got pregnant with my boyfriend. He died two weeks into my pregnancy in a car accident. I stupidly couldn't figure out how to tell him and I didn't."

"Where is the baby?"

"I aborted her. I regret it everyday of my life, but I did what I had to. I had no way to support a baby and when my mother found out, she kicked me out. I needed to do something to help myself and I didn't bring home enough of a paycheck to support that child. I did what I thought was best for me then." A mist appeared in her eyes. "So I aborted her. I should have kept her and I wish I would have, in Kevin's memory, but—" Lisa was full-on crying. Eve suddenly understood the diva's concern in telling Jeff.

Eve grabbed the older woman and wrapped her into a hug. She let her cry on her for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, she said, "Tomorrow. I'll talk to Jeff tomorrow before I go to FCW. I promise, Lisa."

Lisa sniffled, nodding her head. "Good. I'm glad. So, saying that, I'm guessing your job is still yours?"

"Vince said I could valet and that he'd work something out. He's a very creepy man."

Lisa chuckled. "Always has been. I'm glad you're sticking around, chicka."

"Me too," Eve admitted. "I just hope it will work out in my favor, eventually…"
