Listening To Your Heart:

After Amanda left Rose picked up the phone She smiled when she heard "Hey baby."

"Hey Drew. Want to come down to my room?"

"Sure I'll be there in a minutes."

"Cool I'll see you in a little bit."

"Alright."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Rose watched TV till there was a knock on the door. She opened up the door "Hey."

"Hey." Drew kissed her on the cheek and settled into the couch. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah everything's fine. I just wanted something to curl up with. You want to watch a movie?"

"Sure, which one?"

"I don't care."

"Okay." When Drew picked out a movie, he said "What time does the plane leave?"

"Ours leaves at 6 but I'm taking my dad at 2:30. Now give me that remote cause you suck at picking out movie." Rose grabbed the remote "I got it."

"What?"

"Moulin Rouge."

"The one with Nicole Kidman? The one from a few years back?"

"Yeah."

Rose smiled and curled up into Drew's arm. Drew tightens his arms around her shoulders, kissing the top of her head. Rose focused her whole attention on the movie, while Drew couldn't tell you what it was about. He just watched Rose as she laughed and cried her way through the movie. Drew cuddled her, whispering sweet nothings into her ear, and drying her tears. Suddenly her phone went off on the table.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby girl. You still gonna take me to the airport?"

"Yeah. I'll be at your room in about…5 minutes."

"Alright. I'll see you then." They hung up

Rose turned to Drew. "I'm gonna take my dad to the airport."

"You want me to go with you?"

"No, I'll be fine." Rose kissed Drew then left. She walked to her father's room and banged on the door "Yo poppy open up."

Mark opened the door and said, "Don't ever call me that in public again."

"Right sorry." Soon they were at the airport, watching people get on the plane. "I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too but you can call me anytime."

"I will. Tell Sara and the girls hi for me."

"Okay. I want you to take care of yourself. And if Drew gets on your nerves too much just tell Glenn. He's on strict orders to kick Drew's ass."

"Okay." Rose laughed, hugging her father "Take care daddy."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye." Rose watched him get on the plane. "Never gets any easier."

"Talking to yourself?"

Rose turned to see an old women "Seems like." Rose laughed

The woman nodded "I take it that was your father?"

"How did you know?"

"A father/daughter bond is hard to miss."

"I'm Rose Calaway."

"Martha McKnight. Please to meet you." Martha shook her hand.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"

"Waiting for someone special."

"Husband?"

"No…mine died many years ago." Martha sat down on the seat

Rose sat down next to her "I'm so sorry."

"No it got easier, I smiled more as time went on."

"Any children?"

"No…I was left barren after I miscarried."

"I'm so sorry…I miscarried a couple months ago."

"That must have been hard for you."

"It was but it actually feels good to say it aloud."

"Me and my husband tried to adopt but by the time we could be were too old. Now I just have my cats to keep me company."

"Wow."

"Where was your father going?"

"Home."

"Aww…you live around here?"

"NO I'm a WWE professional wrestler and I travel a lot. My dad was heading home to Texas."

"Nice state, love the weather."

"Me too."

"You know you remind me so much of this little girl I used to watch over."

"Really? Where is she now?"

"Living her dreams. Tell me more about this wrestling thing."

"Yeah like I said I get to travel all over the world. See so many different places, cultures. It's amazing, not to mention the competition."

"You sound very passionate about it."

"I love it."

"Ahh but you love something else too don't you? I can see it."

"Really?"

"Your glowing, is he your husband?"

"No…the father of the baby I lost."

"Oh my honey."

"Yeah and to make things worse he's been my best friend since I was 5."

"Have you told him you love him yet?"

"No…we're working on that."

"That's very mature of you. Most people now days would just run away."

"I kinda did that. Before I came to my sense and knew, I had to talk to him. How do you know if you love someone? How did you know that your husband was the one?"

"When I looked into the future he was all I saw. We had that instant connection. Plus there was the fact that he could love me like no other."

"Oh my." Rose said blushing slightly.
Martha just laughed. "Child it isn't like you haven't done it. Or did you become the Virgin Mary?"

"No it's not that. I just never heard an old lady talk like that."

"Well I'm not you normal old women."

"I can see that. You're much more cooler."

"Thank you."

"So if you knew he was the one. How did you tell each other?"

"We didn't have to."

"What you talking 'bout Grandma."

"Soul mates never need language…English anyway. We just looked into each other's eyes and knew. That was the day he proposed."

"How old were you?"

"17...he was 18. We've known each other for about 2 weeks."
"2 weeks and he proposed! I've known Drew my whole life."

"I think you're both gonna be just fine."

"Really?"
"Yup."

"Thanks for the advice. Were you some angel your past life?"

"No dear but I've been called a guardian angel."

Rose glanced down at her watch. "Wow it's been so long. Drew's probably wondering where I am."

"Just remember…follow your heart, it will never lead you wrong."

Rose went to say something but her phone rang. "Excuse me." Rose flipped open her phone. "Hello?"
"Where are you baby? I was starting to get worried."

"I'm at the airport."

"Still?"

"Umm…I got held up. I'll be there soon."

"Okay. I'll see you when you get here."

"Okay." Rose hung up. "Sor…" Rose turned to see that the woman wasn't there. "ry." Rose walked out of the airport.

Meanwhile Drew was pacing the hotel room floor. "Where the hell is she?"

"Drew calm down, Mark said she was fine when he left her and you just talk to her. She probably just got recognized."

"Yeah." The door opened and Rose walked in. "ROSE!"
Drew hugged her tight, when he let go she said "Hey what's up?"

"Nothing. Your okay right?"

"Fine. I just got caught up talking to someone."

"Who."

"A nice, friendly old woman. She helped me see a lot."

"Really? What?"

"Nothing really." Rose kissed him "We need to talk."

"Okay."

Glenn said, "That's my cue to leave." He gently kissed Rose's head and said, "I'm glad you're okay." Then he left, shutting the door behind him.

"Let's sit."

"Last time you said that we ended up talking about the baby."

"I know. This is something different."

"Okay."

"I want us to start rooming together."

"Are you sure."

"Yeah. For once I'm listening to my heart, and doing what I want."

"I want that too."

Rose gently kissed Drew's lips, enjoying the moment. Drew pulled back only when the need for oxygen became an issue. Rose kissed him again really quick before heading into the bedroom to pack her bags for the flight. Drew made sure Rose was out of the room before pulling out his cell phone and making a couple quick phone calls. About 30 minutes later the couple was ready to head to the airport. Glenn in the back seat laughing as they argued over the choice of music that was to be played. When they got to the airport, they were in line when Rose remembers she needed to call her dad.

Rose said, "Drew I need to go call me dad real quick. Can you hand the lady my ticket?"

"Yeah sure, just don't run into any talkative old ladies."

"Shut up." Rose headed over the payphone and picked one up.

"Hello?"

"Well at least I know you aren't dead. You were supposed to call me when you got home. Did that slip your mind old man?"

"You know if I was there I would throw you across my knee."

"You would not. You haven't done that since I was about 7."

"I heard you got lost on the way back from dropping me off?"

"I didn't get lost. Me and this old woman were having a very nice conversation."

"Oh really? Do you normal spill your guys to strangers?"

"No. I don't know but it was like I could trust her. I wasn't gonna do nothing stupid."

"I know you won't baby. It just worried me when Drew called and said you haven't come home from the airport."

"Sorry. Drew got a hold of me. Look I'd love to stay and chat but my plane is boarding. I'll call you later?"

"Sure. Love you baby girl."

"Love you too daddy." Rose hung up the phone and headed back over to Drew.

"Everything okay?"

"Yup." Rose started to walk but for some reason she turned "Wait." Rose looked at Drew "That's the women I was talking too." Rose pointed behind her.

Drew looked and said, "Baby…there a bunch of men standing there."

Rose turned and didn't see Martha. "I could have sworn I just saw her standing there."

"Maybe it's the alcohol still affecting you."

"Yeah maybe your right." Rose and Drew got on the plane. Rose smiled when she passed a making out couple who turned out to be Sam and Randy "I knew it."

"Knew what?"

"Nothing." Rose and Drew walked to the seats and sat down

A flight attendant walked up to them. "Miss Calaway?"

"Yes?"

"I was instructed to give you this." She handed her an envelope.

"Thank you." Rose opened the envelope and saw a small piece of paper.

"You gonna read it?"

"Yeah." Rose opened the note. "Always follow your hear, it will never lead you on the wrong path."

"Good advice."

"Yeah…I heard from a friend before."

"Who sent it?"

"Doesn't say." Rose smiled and rested her head on Drew's shoulder.

"Passengers please buckle your seat belts we are about to take off."
