Rayla was happy to have Jo move up to work closely with her. The two became best friends and they started to share hotel rooms together. Of course Jo couldn't' forget Randy. Three shows after her promotion, she had started to put her plan into action. One by one with Stephanie backing her up, she started pulling assistants into Randy's bus which she used as her personal office. Randy and John were growing distant and when John decided he wanted a bus to himself, Rayla didn't argue. She and Jo were given a bus to share on the fourth week. A present from the McMahon's. To Jo for saving so much on the budget and for Rayla who managed to increase their profits. Randy joined them since Jo decided to handle his needs personally because he wasn't comfortable with a stranger being around so much and because he was rising fast and she didn't want anything to mess it up.

The next week before the show was to begin, the buses had parked in the camp ground that Rayla loved to book them in instead of hotels, she sat outside near the in ground pool. Randy came and sat down next to her.

"I found this." he handed her the pamphlet on abortion the doctor had given her.

"Oh, I hadn't even read it yet." she took it from him and opened it.

"Are you really thinking about it."

"The doctor just gave it to me as an option. I haven't really thought about anything yet."

"And no one knows yet, either. You're belly's going to grow at some point, Jo. Besides. You love kids."

"I do. But John doesn't. Come on. We have to get to the arena. You have that interview for the magazine. You're on the cover next month. You might be the face of the company soon." she smiled. "Because of you."

"Because you're good, Randy. And they are seeing it too."

They got to the arena and Randy was met by the journalist immediately. Jo laughed. The young girl was probably waiting for him for hours. She was nervous and it was easy to tell the girl was a big fan and thrilled to be interviewing him.

Jo went off to make her normal rounds. She had a schedule for each star and she had to make sure they all got there on time. The only thing the assistants did for them now was the normal every day stuff like getting their food, drinks and running notes for them. She hired a girl she found on the streets of Chicago, a girl who reminded her so much of herself. She gave her a chance and made her completely in charge of oiling the wrestlers for the show. She was at Jo's side at all times and Jo soon trusted Angie. The girl was shy and really sweet and quick to deliver Jo's notes and bring her back answers just as speedy.

That night was tough. There was one problem after another. Flat tire put the road crew behind, caterings table was knocked over by a rogue trunk that somehow went rolling down the corridor and crashed into it. But Jo wasn't going to stress. She sent Angie to a nearby restaurant to pick up an order she had put in. She was no her way to help Rayla when she was suddenly grabbed and pulled into a closet. The next thing she knew she was being knocked to the floor by I hard blow.

"Who the hell do you think you are!" John screamed at her. "What? You like guys who beat on you. I bet you want to go to bed with me now, don't you?"

"Screw you, John." she tried to push past him.

"I'm getting sick of you butting your nose into every thing I ask for around here. I had it made and you are blocking me at every turn."

"there are more people in this company than you John."

John slammed her against the wall.

"I want you back."

"Forget it, John."

"You know." he whispered in her ear. "Accident's can happen. People can get hurt in that ring, or worse. It's happened before. You might want to think about that." Then he kissed her and she tried to push him away, but he used his big size against her. When he pulled away he smirked. Satisfied and pushed her to the floor.

"We'll finish this later." he left her lying on the floor of the closet.

Jo wiped the tears from her eyes. She couldn't' believe John had threatened her and the people she cared about, but she found herself angry. Very angry and had a feeling he was intent on getting more from her even if it meant taking it.

"Hey," Randy stopped her as she stormed past. "What's wrong?" He could tell she was upset.

"Nothing. But I've made up my mind. I don't want to have John's baby."

"Jo wait." he yelled out and hurried to catch up with her. "Jo don't do it. Please."

"Randy, you don't understand."

"But what I

"If there's a chance that the baby's not John's?"

"I really wish I had slept with Ryan at that time, Randy, but you know I didn't. Not until that night in the snow storm. I was already pregnant."

"stop Jo. Stop running." Jo had noticed that Randy hadn't been himself over the past month. He was quiet a lot when he was usually talkative and trying to make everyone laugh. He wasn't the normal smart ass even when people left an easy opening for him to be one. "Jo, there's something that's been eating away at me. It's killing me."

"Randy, can we talk later. I have work to do and your match is next."

"Jo, just think about it. You know how careful John was. How he always wore condoms even though you were on birth control."

"I guess one broke and apparently my birth control wasn't' worth a shit."

"Jo, you remember how John was when he was drunk. The role play games he liked to play."

"Randy, please don't say that so loud. It's embarrassing and I wasn't too crazy about them. You're the only other person who knows about it besides me and John."

"I know. But do you remember that night about three months ago, when we lit up that joint."

"John was pissed about that." Jo remembered. Pot had made her feel like she wasn't in control of her mind at all and she barely comprehended everything about that night because she was so drunk and high. It didn't affect her the same way as it did Randy. "But he sure as hell didn't mind taking advantage and talking me into doing that sick fantasy of his." John liked to hold her down and when he was drunk he would wear a ski mask and tie her to the bed blind folded, then he would make her resist him and act like he was forcing himself on her. The first time had bothered her a lot and when she told Randy about it he told her that even the porno's John liked were like that. It sickened her and she told John she didn't want to do it anymore. But that night he knew she would easily go along with anything he wanted.

"I have to tell you something and I know you're going to hate me. That night when John came out to get – damn he was totaled that night on whiskey. – I don't even know what he was looking for. – but when he came out, he sat down on the sofa and he passed out."

"Okay, so he didn't get to act out his role that night. I mean he thinks we did so its kind of funny." she smiled. "Why would I be mad at you for not telling me? It's not a big deal."

"No, Jo. You called out to him after he had been out for awhile. I was almost asleep myself and you asked if he was going to leave you tied up all night."

"I was so messed up." she covered her face. "Now I'm embarrassed."

"I was pretty gone too and you know I hadn't touched a woman since my wife. Jo, I came in there to untie you. I guess I wasn't thinking because I wasn't expecting you to be naked. But instead of untying you, I made love to you." "You what?" Jo couldn't believe what Randy admitted. She had been blindfolded and tied to the bed and had no clue, but she did remember thinking it was odd that John had been so gentle when he was usually very rough when he played that game with her. He was turned on when she screamed out or told him to stop.

"Jo, please don't end it because it's my baby too."

"I thought you were the one man I could trust." She shook her head than slapped him so hard she made her own hand sting

Angie came running up to him telling him the producer was looking for him. It was time for his spot and he gave her a pleading stare before rushing towards the stage.
