Chapter 21 Around two years later..
Paul and Stephanie had been married for a little over two years and things were still going wonderfully.
Paul was woken up
that morning by Stephanie jumping out of bed as fast as she could go
and running into the bathroom.
"Oh no." Paul thought to
himself. "Stephanie must have caught that terrible flu that has
been going around." He sighed deeply hoping he wouldn't get it as
well. When Stephanie came out she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Sorry I didn't
mean to wake you." She said as she rubbed her stomach.
"Don't
worry about it." Paul said as he got up and sat down next to her.
He kissed her forehead and gave her a gentle hug. "Maybe you should
stay home from work today." He suggested even though he knew she
would say no. She was as much of a workaholic as he was.
"No I
feel a lot better now." Stephanie said smiling at him.
"But
baby that's how you always feel when you are sick. By the time you
get on the road you will be worse." Paul warned.
"No really.
This time seems different." Stephanie replied.
"Whatever you
say!" Paul said finally giving up.
"I'm going to go get
ready." Stephanie said as she got up and went back into the
bathroom.
Paul had only been alone for a few minutes when he heard Stephanie scream. His heart skipped a beat as he raced into the bathroom to see what was wrong.
"Oh my god!!"
Stephanie kept saying over and over.
"What's wrong baby!!"
Paul asked as he began to freak out.
"I'm pregnant!" She
said as she held up her pregnancy test that was reading positive.
Paul was speechless when she told him. All he could do was give her a
big hug and try to let it all settle in.
"Really baby!" Paul
said finally able to speak. "You aren't playing a very cruel joke
are you?"
"I would never!" Stephanie said as tears began to
roll down her cheeks. Paul cried a little as well as they continued
to hug.
"I love you so much Steph!" Paul said giving her a kiss. "And I love you too!" Paul said pressing his face against her stomach. He kissed her stomach making her giggle. When they both finally pulled themselves together they got ready for work and began driving to the next city.
"I'm still in
shock!" Paul said as he grabbed Stephanie's hand while he
drove.
"Me too baby!" Stephanie replied as she placed his hand
on her stomach. "I can't wait to tell everyone!"
"I can't
wait to see your fathers face!" Paul said laughing.
"Yeah I
know! He makes such funny faces sometimes!" Stephanie replied.
When they finally got to the arena Paul and Stephanie got out of the car as quickly as they could and rushed into the building. They found Vince and Shane quickly and told them the news. Paul couldn't control himself the entire night because he couldn't stop smiling and telling everyone who entered the locker room he was going to be a father.
