Chapter 25
I'm out in my backyard cutting some branches off the trees. "If your going to stand back there grab that saw and help me out," I say to Sting. "Gee I must be slipping," Sting says. "Or I finally got lucky since every other time someone is behind me I got beat up," I say. "So how you feeling that match was bad enough but Hardy took a real piece out of you?" Sting asks. "I've been worse but that doesn't mean I'm feeling ok," I say. "So what are you doing out here?" He asks but is one of those question that will lead to deeper questions.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I have a saw in my hand and branches at my feet," I say turning to face him. "It looks like you cutting away older branches to give newer ones more room," Sting says. "Yep and you know also kill a snake by cutting it," I say. "Ok you knew I was coming over to talk to you so you came out here," Sting says. He's right I saw his car outside and headed out here. "So what do you want?" I ask.
"Since I got a shot at Hardy this Sunday I want you in my corner," Sting says. "Sure. I'm going to be there anyway," I say. "Witch I've been meaning to ask you about," Sting says. "How desperate are you to get rid of Hogan?" I ask. "Desperate if a pretty big word Jake. I wouldn't say I'm desperate at all," Sting says. Before I can respond we hear a loud scream from inside the house.
I drop my tools and run into the house with Sting following. "Jake you stupid dryer shrunk my best blouse," Madison says. "Is that all I was worried you hurt yourself," I say annoyed. "Your a jerk I spend a lot of money on this and it's one of the few things that still fit me.." She rants as she leaves. I look over at Sting who of all things is laughing. I've seen Sting do a lot laugh is never one of them. "What?"
"Ah just remembering what is was like when I first moved in my wife," he says just before he gets a text. Sting gets a strange look on his face. "I got to go," he says. "You ok?" I ask worried. "I'm fine but I have to go look we will talk before the Pay Per View," Sting says.
Ok that was strange. I hear a door slam upstairs. Great now I got to deal with the latest case of foot in my mouth. I turn to my dryer. "You had to shrink her blouse," I say to it before I kick it. "Ouch."

AJ Styles, Robert Roode, and Jame Storm sat were waiting in AJ's living room. "Are you sure he is coming?" Roode asks. "I'm not sure but what do we have to lose by waiting," AJ says. "Our jobs, If Hogan finds out that it were are gone," Roode says. "Gee I thought you were the business man. Hogan can't just fire us because we won't be part of Immortal. And after last week It shows Hogan could care less about us," AJ says. "Yeah Robert we have to face it we made a mistake joining up with Flair, Hogan, and Bischoff," Storm says seriously.
"So how long is Frankie out for?" Roode asks AJ. "Don't know. Just a very long time," AJ says checking his phone. "Looks it clear Hogan and Bischoff only see us as bullets in the gun to fire at guys like Sting and Jake. All that next level stuff is Bull Shit," Storm says. Someone knocks at the door. AJ opens it and Sting enters. "You guys wanted to talk," he says.

"Hey Madison have you seen my watch?" I ask as I knock on her door. "NO!" She says back sharply. "Ok still mad," I say. The door opens and she looks me in the face. "Yes Jake I'm mad. Sometimes you just need to be mad. Alright," She says. "Ah what should I say that won't piss you off anymore?" I ask.
"Not really," She says. Ok in that case I'm just going to go down stairs," I say. "Good," Madison says. Once again I feel this kid is doomed.
I look back at Madison who all of a sudden doesn't look good and than faints. I some how mange to catch here just enough to keep her from hitting the ground hard. "Madison? Talk to me please," I say trying not to panic but failing. "I don't know the whole room just stared to spin," she says weakly but I can sense some fear in her voice. "It's going to be ok just try to breath deep. I'm... I'm... We are just going to get you up and than take you to the doctor," I say.

"What is taking them so damn long," Madison says. "I know Madison but they have to make sure," I say calmly. Madison takes a deep breath. "Its going to be ok," I say taking her hand. "Will the doctor hurry up for God's sake" I'm think to myself though. As if on cue Dr. Peters enters her face betraying nothing. "Madison, Jake I'm sorry for keeping you waiting but we do want to be sure," she says.
"Is everything ok with the baby?" Madison ask. "Yes the baby is fine. Madison I know you frightened but you have to understand right now you body is going through some huge changes..." "Hold on doc I've been around pregnant women before I am Irish Catholic and fainting isn't normal like weight gain and bigger breasts," I say sharply. "Jake calm down," Madison says. "Sorry."
"Its ok. Now Madison you said you agitated when it happened," Dr. Peters says. "Yes I was," Madison says. "Well look I told you before no stress," The doctor says giving me a look. As if I didn't feel bad enough.

"Look guys I'm glade you final get that you can't trust Hogan, Flair, and Bischoff. But how do I know I can trust you," Sting says. "Sting what can we do?" AJ asks. "Honestly AJ I don't know. Hell man I passed the torch to you at Bound For Glory a few years ago. Yet there you are a few months later joining up with Flair," Sting says angerly. "Try to put yourself in our shoes. The whole world is changing guys that have been in TNA for years are gone and than we see ECW being dug up again can you say that if you were me you wouldn't be a little tempted?" Storm says.
"Tempted is one thing actually doing it is another. You guys want to prove I can trust you than do something about it," Sting says.

Once again I couldn't sleep well that night. I found my self outside in the backyard trying to get some fresh air. I look up at the sky and see the full moon. All my fears are running through my head. "Dear God just help me. Please help me. Let the baby be born safe," I pray.
