We only have a couple more chapters before the reveal; so far, no one's guessed it so far (one person may've thrown themselves off with the guess, but I'm not saying. ;-)). I think in this chapter, we'll start narrowing it down. As always, whitbrianne on twitter and whitbrianne is the tumblr username. ;-)

"Heard you were looking for me," her boss said with a smile. He always acted like he liked Molly, so she didn't have any real reason to be so worried, she thought.
"Um, I was wondering what the plan was for tonight."
"Molly…sit, kiddo."
She did as he asked, looking over at him. "Did I do something?"
"I want to know who you're dating."
"Hunter, you've never given a shit about who's screwing who. Why now?"
"It's caused issues with my talent; I reserve the right to know under those circumstances."
"Hunter…boss…"
"Molly-Anna Grace. You had better have a damn good reason for keeping it from me. And it BETTER not be because I have beef with him."
The last part of that statement made her cringe; her lover had beef with everyone. "He…um he's…"
"Married?"
"Yeah…that's why I haven't said anything. That's the only reason…he's married."
Hunter took a deep breath. "I'm not one to judge. Watch it, though, okay kid?"
"Yes sir," she said, trying to regulate her breathing.
"Don't have a fuckin' panic attack on me," he ordered, walking over and putting his hand on her back, giving her shoulder a fatherly squeeze. "Go get ready for tonight."
She nodded and shot out of his office and into his locker room, where he was by himself. "How'd it go?"
"I think he still thinks things are weird…but I've got him off my tail for now."
"Good," he smiled, standing up. His ring gear was already on.
"I didn't realize you were going out tonight."
"I am, for a bit. You know the drill, right? I go out with the guys, do a thing, that's that."
There was a knock on the door. "Fuck," she whispered.
"Go hide in the bath room," he ordered in a whisper. "When you know we've left, it's time to come out. Come to my room tonight, okay?"
"Okay," she said quickly, slipping off as the other man came in. She listened to them talk, planning out for the night, and then Hunter came in.
"Hey. You seen Molly by some chance?"
"Why would I have?" he snarled. He could flip the switch in his head quickly if he ever needed to.
"Someone said they saw her walking in this direction…I was thinking about having her face Kaitlyn tonight for the title…"
"No waiting until a pay-per-view I see," her lover scoffed. "She can put on a better match than half your mid-carders and you still resign her to that because you wanna play to those pesky Total Divas."
"So you're giving me creative advice now?" Hunter scoffed. "Or is this just you being stupid?"
"Ask anyone backstage," he replied. "Excuse me," he added, walking out. Hunter took a deep breath and walked out as well.


"Well, it seems that there are people backstage who believe you deserve a big spot," Triple H said. He was still carrying the Shield around with him. "People like The Undertaker, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Batista, even Shawn Michaels…So tell me, Molly. Do you DESERVE a match at Battleground?"
"I'm the best diva to walk in this company since Trish Stratus and Beth Phoenix. Of course I deserve a match at the pay-per-view. And I want…"
"Whoa, let's not talk about what you WANT," Hunter laughed.
The Shield guys started laughing. "Well, I am champion," she said, pointing to her belt. "Which is more than I can say for your henchmen right now, considering they lost to The Usos and to Damien Sandow."
That shut everyone up. "So, tell me, what is your stipulation?" Hunter asked lowly.
"Ladder match," she smiled, letting the crowd cheer her.
Kaitlyn's music hit and she made her way into the ring. "I think it's a FANTASTIC idea," she said with an easy smile. "I accept."
The crowd went absolutely nuts, the two of them shaking hands and smiling until they noticed Ambrose and company circling the ring. "Molly, you need to learn something right now…I know something's up with you, precious. I know you're sleeping with someone high up. And when I find out who…well. I may just knock the ladder out from under you myself," Hunter said, slapping her hard across the face. "Don't you try to boss me again, bitch," he spat. "And you can tell whoever it is that you're fuckin' on the side to stay out of business like this."
"Yes sir," she replied weakly, feeling him push her backwards into Kaitlyn.
"What was that about?" she whispered.
"Long story," Molly sighed.


"Come 'ere," Steve ordered her. "If you want Lillie-Beth to survive, you better get your ass over here."
She walked warily, letting him push her down. "Where's Lillie-Beth?"
"With his wife. I told her," Steve said lowly. "She said all you have to do is come back to me, and this'll blow over…"
"SISSY! NO! DON'T! PLEASE DON'T!" she heard Lillie-Beth scream. She started trying to fight against Steve, who had a hold on her. That was when she heard his voice change.
"Molly…baby girl," she heard. Then it hit her; she was dreaming. "Baby girl, wake up and look at me."
She turned, out of breath. "Sorry…"
"Come 'ere," he said, picking her up and cradling her gently. "You okay?"
She shook her head. "Nightmare…Steve and your wife had kidnapped Lillie-Beth; he was forcing me, saying that she would let Lillie-Beth go if I went back to him…Lillie-Beth was screaming at me not to."
His arms tightened around her. "I won't let that happen, I promise," he muttered. "You're my girl, and I love Lillie-Beth like she was one of mine too…it won't happen."
She nodded as he kissed her nose, tilting her chin so they were eye-to-eye. "I love you," she whispered up to him. "I love you so much."
"I love you too…I do want you to think about what I said earlier…me moving my kids to Georgia and hiring a nanny to help your grandparents take care of them…us being together…"
"She won't let you take the kids."
"She won't have a choice," he said firmly. "She doesn't know that I know she's been drinking heavily during the day…she nearly got a DUI, and the teachers' are concerned because they're not performing as well as they should be. Getting them won't be an issue, okay?"
She sighed and nodded as she felt him pick her up. "Where are we going?"
"Shower. It's 5am and we're not going to sleep again. May as well shower," he replied with a smile, setting her down. "Besides, any excuse to see that pretty naked body…"
"I'm glad you still think it's pretty," she smiled.
He turned her so she was looking in the mirror, his eyes soft. "You know what I see? I see a beautiful woman who loves me, for some ungodly reason."
"I love you because you're wonderful," she sighed, relaxing in his arms.
"You know what else I see? I imagine what this," he said, rubbing her belly, "would look like with my baby inside it. Because if you want to, I wanna have a baby with you…"
Her breath caught in her throat; why did he have to bring it up? "I…don't know about that…"
"What? Why?"
"I…I'm scared," she confessed. "Mom nearly lost me and Lillie-Beth. What if the same thing happened to me?"
"It won't," he assured her. "Your mom damaged her body; it's no wonder she had complications. You're healthy; if you want to have a baby, it shouldn't be a problem."
"You're really wanting this, aren't you?"
"Yeah…I want a little girl, or a little boy. I'll be happy either way…as long as I get to watch it in your belly and know it's half you."
Molly mulled over his words; she'd never considered kids before. "Do you really think I'd be a good mom?"
"My kids will love you…I see how you are with Lillie-Beth. When the time's right and you're ready, we'll try for one of our own."
Molly turned and wrapped his arms around his body, her head nestled on his chest. "You really want us to be together like that?"
He tilted her chin up. "You've never had anyone love you for very long…other than your grandparents…there's never been anyone who's stuck around, so this whole thing is weird to you. But yes, Molly-Anna Grace Carpenter," he sighed, kissing her lips gently. "I want us to be together as long as you want me around."
Her heart started beating. "Can we…not talk about that until things are a little more clear?" she whispered. "I love thinking of that…but it's not set in stone yet."
He nodded and kissed her forehead. "It will be soon though."
