Kristen woke up in the middle of the night and looked around. Dean was not in bed with her and the bathroom light was off. She wasn't sure what time it was, maybe he had already left for his interview and didn't wake her. She felt around the night stand trying to find her cell phone. She had to squint at the brightness to look at the time. It was 2 am, surely that is way too early for a morning news show.
She sat up trying to think and heard voices coming from the hallway outside their hotel room. She got out of bed walking closer to the door to listen. She recognized Dean's voice but couldn't really hear the person he was talking to.
Who could he possibly be talking to at 2 in the morning? She walked to the door and had no hope at being able to reach the peep hole. She listened and heard a woman's voice. Her heart started racing. She opened the door and saw Dean standing in the hall way talking to the blonde from the arena.
Dean looked at her with a shocked look on his face. The girl whose name she still didn't know also looked at her and began to walk away.
"What is going on Dean?" Kristen asked looking at him
Dean walked back into the room and looked at her "Nothing- " he began to say
"No. Fuck that. Something is going on with that girl and you need to tell me. Right now." she said feeling her face burning hot and her hands starting to shake.
Dean rubbed his face with the palm of his hands "Shit."
"Are you fucking her?" Kristen asked biting her lip at how even the thought of that broke her heart a bit. She was afraid of what the answer might be.
"No! I would NEVER cheat on you" he said "I was with her before we got back together. It wasn't a relationship of anything more of a casual thing" he said looking at her
"Ok, well doesn't seem casual to me if I keep finding you guys together at the most random places" Kristen said sitting on the bed trying to analyze if he was lying to her.
"It was casual. We haven't had anything since that night at smackdown you first saw her" Dean looked at her not sure if he could keep going. He had done some scary shit in his life and never once felt fear but this right here was enough to send him running the other way "She's pregnant" he said quickly trying to just get it out.
Kristen let out an involuntary gasp and caught her breath in her throat. Her head was spinning "Is it yours?" she asked softly almost physically unable to get the words out. She was sure it was physical pain she was feeling at this point.
Dean watched her face and knew he would never be able to forgive himself for this, even though it wasn't planned or in his control at this point. "She thinks it is." He said
"Thinks? So there are other potential fathers?" Kristen wasn't even fully registering what she was being told. She felt her eyes start to water.
"Yeah I guess she said at least one other guy. I was hoping she was going to be able to get a DNA test now instead of later so I could know before I told you but she was just now telling me that she is going to wait until the baby is born"
Kristen stared at him. Hearing him talk about a baby was surreal. She couldn't even let those tears in her eyes fall she was just in shock.
"I am so sorry Kristen. This was obviously not something that I planned for and it happened before we got back together, I swear." He said
Kristen nodded finally feeling the tears roll down her cheeks "I don't even know what to say" she looked up at him. "a baby?!"
Kristen had always wanted to have kids. A lot of kids. She dreamt of the day they would find out they were expecting and going through that journey together she was feeling robbed of that. He was now going through be experiencing having his first child with another woman. He was forever going to be connected to another woman.
"There's a chance it's not mine" he reminded her. He was actually holding on to that hope. He was not one to pray but if he was, that would be his prayer.
"Please don't cry" he said wiping away her tears "I would give anything to not put you through this" he knelt in front of her looking into her eyes
"How long have you known?" she asked looking at him
"She had just told me when you saw us walking out of the room at the pay per view last night and then right now she told me about the DNA test"
She looked at him "What do I do, Dean?"
"I don't even know what I'M supposed to do, babe. This is fucked up. Trust me it's not something that I am excited or happy about. This was not supposed to happen. Right when my fucking life is taking shape and I am back with you where I want to be; life throws a fucking wrench in there to fuck it all up" he said finally being able to vent out a little.
Kristen watched him. She realized that as heartbroken as she was feeling, Dean must be freaking out even more. She wasn't sure how she was going to be able to live with this but she knew she had to be there for him as well.
"We'll figure it out, together. We always do" she said looking at him.
Dean nodded and looked up at her. He smiled a bit. The fact that she was still in the same room as him made him feel better. He was expecting her to freak out and throw something at his head. He hoped that she wouldn't change her mind later when she had time to let it sink in.
"just…you have to be honest with me…was there love involved in that?" she asked looking at him
"No. None. I Swear. She works in the hair and makeup department helping the Divas'. Like I said earlier it was all just casual" he said
She nodded she was hoping that hearing that would make her feel better but it didn't. She knew that he had done his fair share of sleeping around when they were separated; she never let it bother her since she wasn't around to see it, but she never imagined that it would come haunt them like this.
