Thanks for the reviews.


Bekka had been right, Mark let her sleep for a short time, and the she awakened to the most wonderful pleasure, already gasping in her sleep. She looked down to find Mark between her legs, his arms hooked under her thighs, his tongue working her again.

Mark looked up at her and lifted his head. "Sorry I couldn't resist." He said with a grin.

Bekka answered with a return smile.

Mark had spent the next two hours touching, kissing and making love to her in every imaginable position. He then pulled her in his arms and they slept again.


Bekka awoke and almost immediately panicked. She looked around to realize Mark was missing. She jumped up and turned on the light and looked in the bathroom.

She threw on her shirt and panties and tore through the house. She didn't know why it set her off so, not to be able to find him, but maybe she did, maybe her punishment was to lose him forever, not even able to say good bye to him. The panic had her in tears, she had to find him. Bekka checked every room in the house and couldn't find him. Tears coursed down her cheeks as she tore out the back door.

She ran down the stairs to the back deck and looked from left to right, where was he. She noticed right away the weather had turned cold. But she didn't care, she had to find Mark.

Tears came harder and she was sobbing. "Mark!" She yelled.

Mark was standing out in the back beyond the pool, near the woods, he had come out to clear his head. He turned sharply when he heard Bekka's panicked cry.

"Bekka!" He yelled back and started towards her.

Bekka seen him then in the shadows and ran at him, flinging herself in his arms, her arms circled his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist.

"Angel, honey whats wrong?" Mark asked wrapping his big arms around her tightly, aware she was clinging to him and trembling. Sobs shook her body as she cried. "Tell me whats wrong?" He asked.

"I thought you were gone." She sobbed, her face buried in his neck.

"Shhh ..Baby I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."

Mark noticed her state of undress and the fact her skin was cold.

"Angel, its cold out here, you don't have anything on your feet..what were you thinking?" He said carrying her back toward the house.

"Mark, but I have to tell you something." Bekka said her tears slowing.

"It can wait till I get ya warmed up." He said.

"No, I have to tell you now." She insisted.

Mark stopped and looked down at her sweet face lifted up toward his. The moonlight played over her features and at that moment she looked every bit the angel she was.

"What is it?" He asked eager to get her in the house and warmed up.

Bekka looked at Mark trying to memorize every thing about him, the way he looked, felt, and smelled. "I love you."

Mark's heart skipped a beat as he gazed in her eyes and he bent his head to capture her lips, kissing her with feeling. He ran his hand threw her curly silky hair trying to remember every detail.

Then he started walking again toward the house. Bekka smiled. She had told him how she felt, now she felt like no matter what happened, she was at peace.

Mark took her through the back door and pushed it shut with his foot and continued till he got to the den. He sat her down on the floor near the fireplace and grabbed a throw off the couch and wrapped her in it.

Bekka watched as he lit a fire and then he grabbed pillows off the couch and more blankets. Mark propped the pillows and sat back against them and then hauled her in his lap wrapping his big arms round her.

Bekka had never felt so safe and cherished as she did at this moment.

She buried her face in his chest, inhaling the scent of him. Mark just cradled her and ran his fingers through her silky hair.

"Mark we can go back to bed." She said her lips against his warm skin.

He tightened his arms around her. "No, sleep angel, I'll watch over you."

Bekka's heart broke then and there, he was trying to keep her with him, he thought if he watched over her, he could keep her here.

"Okay, my love." She said smiling up at him.

Mark smiled and kissed her.

"Mark you have to promise me something." Bekka said.

"What?"

"Don't forget about Kacy, promise me." She said raising her hand to caress his cheek.

Mark caught her hand and kissed it. "I wont forget, I promise."

Bekka sighed and closed her eyes starting to drift off.

Mark kissed her lips softly. "I love you too."

Bekka smiled and drifted to sleep.

Mark watched her for a hour and then two until he couldn't stay awake any longer and he to drifted off to sleep.


Bekka awoke and sat up, Mark was asleep beside her and it was still dark outside.

"Well...look what we have. He loves you, you love him. I can make this your reality."

Bekka jumped up. "Not you again."

"Yes, one last chance Bekka, this man, this life, even sweet little Kacy, can be yours, more babies, down the road, maybe you and daddy can make up, what do you say?" The man asked walking around her smiling.

"No, now leave." She said.

"You're a fool, girl, I can give you everything you want."

"Yea you can, in exchange for my soul, I don't think so." Bekka said looking down at Mark.

"So be it, don't say I didn't give a you a chance." He said and vanished.

Bekka closed her eyes and when she opened them again, Michael was standing in front of her.

"You've done wonderful Rebekah, now take my hand."

Bekka turned and looked at Mark and then turned back to Michael and took his hand and in a instant she was gone.

Bekka was back where she started. Michael stood watching her. "I'm very proud of you. You have done excellent."

Bekka nodded, afraid to speak, lest she burst into tears.

"Rebekah, I'm going to leave you here now, you need this time to reflect on what happened down there, when I think you're ready, I'll be back to discuss things." Michael hugged her and then he was gone. As soon as he was gone, Bekka burst into tears. What would she do without Mark.


Mark came awake slowly as the morning sun hit his eyes.

He looked around and then got up slowly. He walked through the entire house, but he knew before he even looked Bekka was gone. He sat down at the kitchen table and tears blurred his vision. He hadn't even cried over Sarah. He finally knew what it was to truly love someone, and he had lost her. His first instinct was to grab a bottle of liquor, but he stopped. Everything Bekka did for him was wasted if he did that.

He laid his head on the table, he would have to go on somehow, he didn't understand how yet, but he would.


Mark did what Bekka taught him to. He put one foot in front of the other and kept moving. He met up with his co-workers in Atlanta. Dave met him at the airport and Mark just shook his head at the question in Dave's eyes.

Dave was saddened, he had come to love Bekka, but he knew what Mark was feeling, must be ten times worse.

Dave kept his promise to Bekka, He started rooming with Mark, just to make sure there were no temptations to drink. Dave sat up late each night and listened to Mark talk about Bekka and how much he loved her, watch him shed tears a time or two. He passed out explanations to Bekka's friends and told them not to ask Mark about her, because he couldn't handle the questions. All in all Dave thought Mark was doing pretty damn good. He hadn't even been tempted to drown himself in his sorrows.


Dave and Mark were getting ready to go to the arena, when there was a knock at the door.

Mark opened it to find a angry Shawn standing there. "Where is my daughter, I'm tired of these lame excuses of Dave's, what the hell did you do to her?" Shawn yelled.

Mark lost it and grabbed Shawn by the throat. "Your daughter? Are you fucking stupid? You didn't want anything to do with her. You abandoned her and her mother, her life was hell because of you. Get the fuck out of here before I kill you." Mark said flinging him out in the hall.

Shawn slowly pulled himself up. He realized Mark was right but he still wanted to know where she was. "I just want to know if shes alright?"

Dave pushed Mark back. This was all news to him, he didn't know Shawn was Bekka's father, but that would explain the weird vibes the night, they had been in his dressing room together. "Shawn, shes fine, now just get out of here, before you make things worse." Dave said.

Shawn just turned and left. He didn't understand why she had left, but he felt he had unfinished business with her.

Dave shut the door and looked at Mark. "Her father?"

"Yea, long story, but Shawn's the one got her mother knocked up and walked away from them, Bekka had a terrible life, thanks to that bastard." Mark said sitting down on the bed.

Dave sat down on the other bed. "Bekka told me before she left, she wished she had a dad like me." Dave said.

Mark looked over at Dave, he knew Dave had become very attached to Bekka, he was hurting too.

"She really thought the world of you Dave." Mark said.

Dave nodded. "Have you talked to Kacy?" Dave asked.

"Yea, as a matter of a fact yesterday. She sounds good, just said she misses me." Mark said smiling for the first time in a long time.

"So when you going to go see her, I could tag along." Dave said getting up.

"My next day off, I'm flying down to see her. I want to talk to Alice about her coming on a home visit when I get a couple of days off."

Dave looked over at Mark shock, was he really thinking of adopting Kacy.

"Thats great Mark, I think she would love that." Dave said.

Mark got up and grabbed his ring bag. "Yea, I think Kacy needs me, and I know I need her, shes the only thing that makes sense right now."

Dave nodded. " I'm glad Mark, glad to see you're thinking about the future."

Mark smiled. He promised Bekka he would be okay and that he would take care of Kacy, he would keep his promise.


Bekka kept her sanity by checking in on Mark every few days. She smiled as she watched him. He was doing great, no drinking or wallowing in self pity. His matches looked great and he called Kacy every few days and Dave was keeping his promise to look after him.

Time had little meaning up here and she wasn't aware of how much time was passing, she figured a few weeks. Michael still hadn't showed up, she was beginning to wonder if she was going to be here forever. Her life consisted of watching Mark and missing him so bad she wished she could die all over again.

When she watched the visit between Kacy and Mark, tears fell from her eyes. She wished she could be there with them. She missed Mark and her new friends so bad.


"Mark..you know Bekka misses you." Kacy said looking up from the banana split Mark had made her.

Mark felt like he had been hit in the chest. He sat down across from her on the other side of the kitchen table. This was the first home visit with Kacy and things were going great. He only had her for the weekend, but she seemed like she was comfortable here and with him.

"Kacy, when did you see Bekka?" Mark asked trying stay calm.

"When I dream. She told me that you would come back, like you promised and she said she misses you and she loves you." Kacy said smiling up at him.

Mark smiled and reached over and patted Kacy's cheek. "Thank you sweetheart. I'm glad you told me."

Kacy smiled. She really like Mark. She always liked the Undertaker, but she was beginning to see Mark wasn't the Undertaker. Mark was even better. He played with her and did things with her. He even tucked her in at night and read her stories.

"Mark..do you like me?" Kacy asked not looking up.

"Of course I do." Mark said lifting her chin with his hand. "Why would you ask that?"

Kacy took a deep breath. "Do you want to be my daddy?" She hoped he would say yes, but she was scared to death he would say no.

Mark got up and walked around the table and picked Kacy up in his arms. "I sure do, I was hoping you would want to be my little girl, thats why I brought you home. I want you to get to know me, see if you like it here."

Kacy hugged him. "I love it here Mark, I love you too."

Mark smiled and sat down sitting Kacy on his lap. Bekka had brought him and Kacy together for a reason. He had come to love Kacy over the last month and he knew when he took her back on Monday he was going to ask Alice to start adoption proceedings.

"Kacy, I love you too. I promise, I'll get the adoption started as soon as I get you back on Monday. But honey, you know I travel a lot, we would be on the road and you would have to go to school just a couple hours a day at the different places I work, it would be different than the way you live now. We would come home here once in a while, but most of the time, we would be on the road traveling." Mark said, he wanted to make sure she knew what life would be like with him.

"I don't care Mark, as long as I get to be with you. Will John be there too?"

Mark grinned, he knew Kacy liked John too. "Yes and lots of other wrestlers, we're like a big family."

Kacy smiled. " I want a big family."

"Then you'll have one darlin." Mark said hugging her tight.


Shawn sat down on the bed in his hotel room. Over the last month his life had fell apart. He had told his wife the truth about Bekka and about leaving Bekka's mother so many years ago. The funny thing was she wasn't mad because he had another kid, she was mad because Shawn had abandoned his child and walked away from his responsibility. She couldn't understand how the man she loved, who was a wonderful father to their son, had just without a backwards glance had dumped his child with not one thought to it.

Shawn sighed, he didn't understand either really, he had put it out of his mind when he walked away, and now he would never have the chance to make it right. His wife had kicked him out and he lost his family. Shawn buried his face in his hands. He had lost everything.
