Chapter 13 -
6 Weeks Later – Ted's P.O.V.
I looked around hundreds of stores looking for it. It had to be the perfect one as I was finally gonna ask her.
"So when you gonna ask her?" Randy asked.
"Tonight, I'm ordering in her favorite."
"Chinese food!" We both said.
"Good luck man, I hope everything turns out right."
We walked passed another shop and I seen the ring that I wanted. Randy and I have spent all day looking in store after store and I finally see the one I want. I walked in and the sales guy wasn't being too pushy. I bought the ring and we made our way out.
Grace's P.O.V.
Katelyn still isn't talking to me but I am far away from California and ready to put the whole earthquake thing behind me. Landon is getting so big and is starting to look more and more like Ted everyday. Ted and Randy had disappeared somewhere but I didn't ask where. I picked Landon up and walked to the kitchen but then I heard the door bell so I went and opened the door, it was Hennigan using his crutches as his femur still wasn't healed yet.
"Hey John, how are you feeling today?"
"Better! Awww look at him."
"Oh thats right you never got to see him yet. With getting rest and everything I haven't had much time to come and see you since the hospital. Come on in and you can hold him." John came in and sat down on my couch and I walked over holding Landon.
"This is Landon, out of the disaster something beautiful entered the world." I said and handed John Landon. He held him for a little while until he started getting fussy for his food. I fed him and laid him down for his nap and John decided he was gonna go. I walked him out to the porch and John leaned in and kissed me. I heard a car door and then I seen two people walking towards the door. I shoved John off of me but someone had already seen.
"I can't believe you." Ted said looking at me with tears in his eyes.
"What did I do?" John took the time to make his way out of there.
"Don't act all innocent Grace. You were just kissing him."
"No correction he kissed me." He didn't say anything just walked passed me into the house, I followed behind him.
"At least I didn't waste my time with this." He said throwing a box at me before running out the door. I opened the box and seen it was an engagement ring and I lost my composure. I slid down to the floor as Randy came up into the house, I'm sure he seen and heard everything.
"I blew it, I didn't want John to kiss me but he did and now it cost me the one man I truly love." Randy sat on the floor with me and put an arm around me.
"Things will be alright, just let him cool down."
"I hope so. I never thought I could live with him, but now I know I can not live without him."
"If its meant to be it will Grace and you should know that."
"I know that Randy, but waiting till then is gonna be a killer. Especially since I go back to work next week. I do travel with you guys and thats gonna make this really hard."
"I know Grace, but if you need anyone to watch Landon, or a shoulder to lean on just come and find me. I'm always here for you and you know that."
"I will."
Cody's P.O.V.
"I have to tell you something Cody." Kate said to me and it didn't sound like anything good. I'm just praying it is nothing wrong with the baby.
"Is it the baby?"
"No, I did something at the hospital that I'm not proud of but I was hurt when I did it and I wanted to hurt her."
"What did you do Kate? Is this something other than telling her this was all her fault?"
"Yes... I kissed Ted to hurt Grace."
"You what? Why would you do that to your best friend? And when did you do this?"
"I was hurting, I thought I was gonna lose you. So I accused her and then tried to hurt her the way I was hurting. It was at the hospital when Grace and Randy were in seeing you right after you got out of surgery." She said and started crying.
"Don't you think I should have known 6 weeks ago?"
She looked down at the ground.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"I understand you were scared and hurting, but that doesn't give you any rights to hurt your best friend like that or me, the man you took vows with!"
She started walking up to me and tried to put her arms around me.
"Don't! You're skating on thin ice right now. I can't believe you would hurt someone like that. You kissed one of my best friends, thats low."
"Cody I'm so sorry baby, I never meant to hurt you at all."
"Like I said before, you're skating on thin ice."
"What about the baby?"
"I'll never turn my back on him or her regardless of what happens to us."
Grace's P.O.V.
Well its finally time to go back to work and I'm not really looking forward to it. I programmed my Ipod with music to get me through my times in the halls, amongst them were several different genre's of music but most of them were sad songs. Something about sad songs when your heart is broken just eases the pain enough to get through the tough times. I arrived in Columbus and went straight to the arena, I knew I had a photo shoot since Triple H is the new champ. I got Landon's stroller out and loaded him up in it and then grabbed my stuff that I would need after I parked my rental. I went inside and found my office with ease, I unloaded my stuff before cruising the halls looking for the studio with Landon. On my way I attracted diva attention.
"Awww look at him." Mickie said.
"He is a doll." Kelly Kelly said.
"Thanks guys."
I walked in the studio door and Paul was waiting for me.
"Cute kid."
"Thanks." I said as I parked his stroller. I set my camera up on the tripod and the session went off without a problem, the whole time I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's Trouble with love. I went on with the rest of my photo shoots and eventually I had seen everyone. I went to my office and started printing up pictures. Cody walked into my office and gave me a hug.
"I heard about what Kate did to you, I'm sorry again."
"Its not your fault Cody. She hurt you too I'm sure."
"She did but you were the one she wanted to hurt."
"What did I do Cody? Honestly I don't know."
"I don't know either."
Cody kissed the top of my head and made his way out mumbling something. I sat down in my chair and turned my Ipod back on and relaxed...
Ted's P.O.V.
I knew Grace was at Raw tonight and I was ignoring her on purpose. John may have kissed her but I get this feeling that it wasn't unwanted. I can't say how many times she was with him for sure, but I know it was more than a casual thing. I am sitting in catering eating just after my match. I should have ate before hand but I didn't have much time besides I didn't want to run into Grace. Mickie came into catering a few later.
"Hey Ted, your little boy is adorable."
"Thanks."
"I think you need to go make up with Grace she is a mess."
"What do you mean she is a mess?"
"When I was in my photo shoot she kept listening to the same song over and over plus I seen tears falling from her eyes."
"Why do you think I care?"
"Because I know you love her."
I do love her but I just don't know anymore, but I decided I would go and see whats going on with her so I went to her office. I opened the door without knocking and she was curled up in her chair sleeping with her Ipod on. I went over and listened to the song playing on the Ipod.
'Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairy tales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya every time
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See, you got no say at all'
I shook her and she opened her eyes.
"Why the hell are you listening to this?"
"What do you mean?"
"If one of us should be listening to music like that its me, I mean you broke my heart."
"Really you?" She asked standing up.
"Yea me, I mean you kissed him."
"I didn't kiss him, he kissed me."
"You still didn't pull away right away."
"I was in shock."
I didn't say anything else I just left the room.
