102 reviews! I wasn't able to deliver a second chapter yesterday due to how late the 100th review was made. My apologies.

This chapter should answer a question or two on things, especially what Allen was going to say to Lila when they were cuddling the night of her nightmare.


The days off with the kids had been wonderful. So great in fact that when they went to drop them off, the boys were moping and Anney was near tears. They'd spent the days playing board games and doing crafts, the nights in the den watching Disney and other kid friendly movies. Lila got to spend extra time with Anney where they did each others hair while the boys went out 'hunting', which was actually just target practice with fake squirrels and deer. Lila was even upset the break was ending but luckily held it together.

.

"I don't wanna go," Anney whined.

"Come on baby girl. We'll be back to see you this weekend again," Allen tried to convince her.

Lila chewed on her lip, trying to stay out of it, until the little girl launched herself at Lila's knees.

"Don't make me go Li-li, pwease?!" Anney cried, "I wanna stay wif you!"

Her blue eyes shot wide open and she looked at Allen in shock. He shook his head and shrugged with a sigh.

"Ann-"

"No! I wanna stay with Li-li and you, daddy!"

Kicking herself out of her stupor, Lila dropped to her knees and hugged the girl close.

"Hey Anney, you know we gotta work or we'd take you with us in a heart beat hon," Lila murmured, stroking her long brown curls, "You know that right? But your daddy and I have to work, and your mommy wants to see you. She's missed you."

That could have been a lie for all she knew, but she trusted that Wendy loved her children, even if she didn't call the entire time they had the kids.

"I-I missed her too, but I wanna stay," she simpered, wiping her eyes with a pout, "Pwease. I'll be good!"

"Anney, you're always good. That's not the problem."

"Lila and I have to drive for hours and hours and we don't get to sleep much. It'd be really borin' for you Ann."

The little girl didn't seem too convinced.

"You watch us on TV right?" Lila asked suddenly, hit by an idea.

"Yeah," Anney confirmed, "Daddy jumps around a lot. It's funny."

A giggle slipped from Anney and it made both adults grin.

"Well, why don't you stay here with your mommy, watch your daddy, and draw a picture of your favorite part huh? Then when he comes to pick you up, you can show him!"

Lila grinned widely as Anney gave a small nod.

"Okay, but don't be gone too long."

"Promise," Allen said, scooping the girl up, "Now let's go see your mama."

.

"You ready darlin'?" Allen asked, smoothing his hair back to put on his cap.

He met her gaze in the mirror and she couldn't help but grin.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing, you just look really, really good," she murmured, spinning and wrapping around his waist.

"I can say the same about you, then again, you always look really good," he replied smoothly.

Blushing slightly, she ran her hands up his back to his shoulders and pushed on his back until he got the idea and leaned down. Sensations trickled down her body as they kissed softly, her fingers snarling in the shirt on his back. When her back met the wall and his tongue pressed to her mouth, she eagerly met his tongue with hers.

"Oh god," she whimpered between kisses.

"We- We need to stop," Allen groaned.

She released his back just to snag the hair peeking out from under his cap hair and reach down to his hardening cock.

"Yeah, but I don't wanna," she moaned as he twitched in her hand.

"Fuck Li. W-We got stuff to do baby."

With a frustrated noise, she released his cock and pouted as she pulled back.

"Don't do that," he sighed.

She exaggerated her lower lip pout and said, "Fine. But I expect to get fucked as soon as we walk in the door tonight."

He moaned and ran a hand down his face before adjusting his pretty obvious bulge.

"Whatever you want darlin', just don't tease me anymore."

While the thought was appealing, she gave him a nod of agreement.

"For now," she added before walking off.

"Lila!" he groaned.

Allen was having a match against Chris out in the ring when Lila got back to their chosen locker room. She'd just gotten out of a meeting with Stephanie and Paul to discuss her options. To her surprise, they wanted to keep her. With his approval, they were going to throw her into a story line with Allen against Miz and Maryse. She wouldn't fight but she would do promos until she started to show which at that point Maryse would "take her out" with the single leg Boston crab and she'd get a story line injury. It would be interesting for sure.

She looked up as she heard the door open and had to grin as she saw Chris and Allen come in.

"You're back! How'd it go?" Chris asked.

"Good, they need to talk to us together before the taping tomorrow Allen. They've got a pretty nifty idea."

Chris nodded and flashed her a thumbs up before ducking into the bathroom to change.

"Great. Nothing dangerous?" Allen asked.

"Nope, completely safe. All promos on my part," Lila explained, rising.

Chris came back out and said, "Hey, I'm running down to get some coffee for the drive. Wanna come with me?"

Lifting an eyebrow in confusion, she nodded.

"Be right back baby," she said to Allen before leaning in with puckered lips.

He chuckled and gave her a gentle kiss before swatting her butt.

"When ya get back we can head to the hotel."

"Sounds good," She called back as she followed Chris out.

On their way down the hall, she gave him a curious look as he let out a low sigh.

"What's up?" She asked.

"I don't know how to say this," he said slowly.

His steps slowed to a stop so she did as well, leaning on the wall next to him.

"You can tell me anything Chris. You know that."

"Yeah, yeah I know. I'm more worried about sounding like an idiot," he muttered.

He ran his hands through his hair and groaned, finally turning to look at the short woman next to him. She went rigid as he cupped her cheek.

"Chris?"

"You said you were five weeks and something at the ultrasound right?" he asked.

Even more confused, she said, "Yeah, why?"

"Li, baby, we had sex five weeks before that. There's... There's like a small chance-"

"No," she bit out, realization hitting her hard, stepping back, "Uh-uh. Nope. Not possible."

A look of defeat crossed his features and she felt her heart scrunch in pain. She didn't want to hurt him but accepting this would only cause more drama.

"Chris, don't do this to me, not now. Things are going so well again. And- And- That would just screw everything up. I-"

"No, it doesn't have to!" he cut in, "If by some chance it is my baby it's not like I'm going to want anything more than our friendship and to see the baby. I'm starting to work things out with Jess again. It- It could fuck her and I up too."

"Wait, I thought you were getting divorced," She asked exasperatedly, tears filling her eyes.

She pushed on her temples as he replied.

"We were, but on Thanksgiving we realized we both just needed time apart."

"Jesus Christ Chris!" she hissed, looking up, "This can't happen. Do you know how pissed he'd be? I- I can't have him leave me over this! I can't imagine him wanting to be with me if I'm having your baby!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, she turned and smacked her forehead against the wall, cursing at the throbbing pain it left.

"Stop that Lila!" he snapped, pulling her back, "Don't hurt yourself damn it."

With a scream, she threw his arms off and backed up.

"I- I can't deal with this right now," She whispered, hands shaking as she lifted them to ward him off, "I just got his parents approval. We're doing so perfect. I'm falling in love with the thought of actually becoming Lila Jones. This..."

Her chest hurt as she felt her wall crumbling.

"Why does this shit happen to me?!" She cried, "Is it because what I let that fuckhead do to me? Is it because I didn't respect my parents? Is this some kind of fucked up revenge from "God"?!"

"I don't know why it happened baby, but you can't let it stress you out like this. It's not healthy for the baby."

"Fuck you! Don't be stressed?! I'm planning a life with Allen and I find out I could be having your baby?!"

He sighed and suddenly she was enveloped in warm arms.

"Let go of me!" she shrieked, pushing on his chest.

"You need to calm down!" he shouted suddenly.

Flinching, she stopped fighting and instantly became swept over by crippling sadness. She wrapped around him and let out a low moan.

"He's going to hate me. I don't even know how to tell this Chris," she sobbed, "I'm such a fuck up. I can't even manage a relationship. This baby would be so much better with someone else as it's mother. I'm just going to fuck it's life up. It'd probably be better if the poor thing wasn't ever subjected to me. I'm-"

"What the hell are you talkin' about?"

Icy terror shot through her and she held on tighter to Chris.

"Please, I- I can't," she whimpered, rubbing her face on his T-shirt.

"Baby, what is wrong?" Allen asked.

She swallowed thickly and pulled back, face crumpling as she saw his worried gaze.

"I- I'm sorry. I-"

Giving a shake of her head, she took off. Their voices sounded behind her in panic but she couldn't stop. She took the first exit she could find and tore out into the parking lot, only stopping when she found the grassy field behind the arena. Her butt hit the ground hard and she pulled her knees up to her chest, letting all the pain out in tears. She stared at the blurry stars and cursed them loudly.

"If you are really up there God, please explain why this shit is happening! Is it because I don't worship you like everyone else? Is this vengeance? I've never been a good girl so you're making me pay? The shit I've been through with him is overkill, don't you think? I've been cheated on, cheated in return, I get pregnant and things work out, then you throw this fucking curve ball?! If you're looking for me to start begging you for forgiveness, well you've done fucked that up! I don't deserve this! He doesn't deserve this! He's done nothing wrong! I'd think you'd treat one of your own better than this! Why-"

"If you keep talking to 'im like that, you're only going to upset 'im."

Lila let out a screech of fear and fell back, barely making out his form in the dark.

"Why'd ya run?" he asked softly as he approached.

She snorted and sat up, wiping the tears off.

"I thought that'd be clear, or did Chris not tell you?"

"Oh, he did," Allen replied.

To her surprise he sat on the grass in front of her. Fingers touched hers before his hands slowly slid over her palms.

"I thought you'd hate me," she admitted, "That's like the exact opposite of what ever dad-to-be wants to hear."

"I'm not happy, don't get me wrong, but what's happened has happened. No one can change it, and... and it's not like... you only slept with him because I cheated on you. We already got past that. Chris and I talked a bit about it. If it's okay with you, we're deciding not to think about it or act any different than we have been. Once he is born, we can do a test to be sure, but until the DNA says otherwise, that baby is mine. I already kind of considered the option a while back with the timing. I wanted to tell you, but the timing just never seemed right," he paused and squeezed her hands, "And I could never hate you baby."

His hands tightened on hers and she looked up in awe, shocked by what he was saying.

"The chances are much more in my favor by far. And if for some reason, the baby is his, well we'll iron out the details later but that doesn't mean I'm lettin' you go. This whole thing is on me, if you think about it Li. I don't like to admit it, and it's takin' a lot to do so, but if I would have just made her go on her way, none of this would have happened. You would have spent that night and the next days with me, and he would for sure be mine."

"Yeah, but-"

"Stop. Blamin' anyone, including God, isn't goin' to make it go away darlin'. I just gotta suck it up and accept that I screwed up majorly and these are the consequences. I'm gonna love him like my own either way, even if he has Chris as his biological father."

"You're saying he a lot," Lila murmured after a minute or two.

That made him smile, widely.

"Well, it just sounds right."

"I kind of hope it's a girl," she admitted, "Anney is such a sweet heart. It'd be good for her to have another girl to play with."

He let out a low sigh and tugged on her hands, pulling her until she crawled into his lap. He held her close as warm kisses planted across her hair.

"I love you so much Li. I don't think there's anythin' that could tear me away from ya," he mumbled.

If she wasn't dried out of tears, she would have been crying again.

"Love you too," she replied softly, "I just wish things could be a little easier on us, you know?"

"It'll happen soon enough baby."
