Almost a week later...
"Is she okay?" Janet asked.
Joe shrugs and says. "She won't talk to anyone, she hasn't said a word since the day of the delivery."
"Wow."
"And our son died this morning."
"I'm soo sorry, if there's anything I can do."
"You coming to see her is doing enough." Joe says.
Devin pushes back her tray and tries to pull herself up when she gets a look of intense pain on her face and she says.
"Joe."
Jumping up Joe says. "Yeah?!"
"Can you help me get up I need to use the bathroom."
"Yeah sure anything." Joe says rushing over to her and slowly helping her off the bed.
"Oh and another thing?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you stop talking about me like I can`t hear you, just because I`m not talking doesn't mean I still can`t hear you."
"Sorry." Joe says as he guides her to the bathroom.
Reaching the bathroom Joe asked.
"Are you good or do you need more help?"
Devin gives him a thumbs up and shoo`s him away.
"So who did you leave the kids with?" Ezra asked.
"Joe's waited at the house until their god parents came."
"Joe?"
"My husband."
"Right, you told me about him."
"Dad I don't want to hate you, but I don't know if we could pick up where we left off the last time I saw you I was eight." Devin said.
"Don't say that – I want to be in you, you're kids and your sibling's life, I know I wasn't there in the past and I can't make up for that but I`m here now."
Devin sighs and puts her hand on her dads hand when Joe walks up.
"Sorry I`m late." Joe said kissing his wife and sitting down next to her.
"You must be Joe."
"Yeah."
"You were at the therapy session weren't you?" Ezra asked.
"Uh- yeah."
"Pretty good looking man." Ezra said to Devin.
"Dad, how did you find me?"
"Your therapist, found me actually."
"And how did she do that, I spent years looking for you and I could never find you."
Ezra shrugs and says.
"She probably looked at your birth certificate and found my name and went from their."
"Mmm." Devin replies.
"You never told me why you`re going to therapy."
"I grew up with Beverly as a mother, and you`re wondering why I need therapy?" Devin asked pausing for moment.
"No but seriously, I`ve talked about what happened enough to day I don't feel like explain it again." Devin continues.
"No I get it."
"So how old are you now?"
"I just turned thirty."
"Wow I can`t believe I missed twenty-two birthdays."
After a long awkward silence Devin asked. "So enough about the past, where are you staying now a days?"
"Well, I`ve been traveling quite a bit, but I have a house in Napa."
"Oh so you`re not that far from Fairfield."
"No I`m not."
"So how old are your kids?"
"Ten, Five and One."
"Wow-so how did you two meet?"
"Work."
"Where`s work?" Ezra asked.
"I use to wrestle for the Wwe." Devin replied.
"Did you really?"
"I did."
"You know I use to watch a bit of wrestling back in the day."
"Yeah that`s how I started loving wrestling."
"What about you- what got you into wrestling?" Ezra asked turning to Joe.
"Wrestling's just something I`ve always grew up around." Joe replied.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"He comes from a long line of wrestlers." Devin says.
.
.
"So how were they?" Devin asked.
"Perfect as usual." Rachel said.
"I have to meet these perfect kids that you speak of because they're defiantly not my kids." Devin said.
"Hey Dev can I talk to you?" Joe asked walking over to the two women.
"Yeah sure."
"Shane called and said he needs me back on the road."
"For how long?"
"Not that long just for two weeks."
Devin sighs and says. "Alright-so when do you leave?"
"Tomorrow."
Devin twist her mouth.
"I won't go if you don't want me to."
"No you go, I guess I'll see you in two weeks."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, I`ll just make that group meeting for when you get back."
"Thanks." Joe said pecking her on the lips.
"Alright guys, I`m heading out now." Rachel said putting her hand on Devin's shoulder.
"Oh my gosh Rach is that a ring?!" Devin asked holding her hand.
"Yes he purposed last night!"
"Wait, don`t you think it`s a little early in the relationship to be thinking about marriage?"
"It`s been eight months."
Devin lifts her eyebrow.
"Okay yes it's really early but I love him and I really couldn't imagine my life without him." Rachel says.
"Well if you`re happy then I`m happy."
Devin was finally home from the hospital after the whole incident. She was laying down in her room when she kept hearing loud noise, the kid`s were with their grandparents so it couldn't of been them. Getting up from her bed Devin goes to see what the noise is. Realizing it was coming from what was supposed to be the nursery for her twins Devin hesitates to open then door. Finally pushing her self to open the door she does and walks in to see Joe, Jonathon, Jon and Claudio.
"Can you be any louder- If you wake her up I`m going to kick your a**!" Joe says as the took apart the room.
With her arms folded Devin asked.
"What are you doing?"
Looking up Joe asked.
"What are you doing up?"
"I heard a noise."
"Oh we were just taking the crib and stuff down."
"Why?" Devin asked.
"I just though- do you want me to leave it alone?" Joe asked.
Devin shakes her head and turns to walk away.
"I told you we should of done it while she was at the hospital." Claudio says.
Joe looks at his friends and then turns to go after Devin.
Walking behind her Joe pulls her back revealing her tears that were falling from her face.
"I`m sorry, I can put everything back if you want, i just thought this would make this easier if I..."
Devin walks away and into the room and close and locks her door. Joe walks back to the nursery.
"Put everything back." Joe says.
"What?!" Jonathon asked.
"She doesn't want to take it down now put everything back!"
"Uce, it took us all morning to take this down now you want us to put it back?" Jon asked.
Joe nods his head and turns around and walks away and into his bed room.
"I`m sorry I didn't mean to upset you." Joe said walking up next to her.
"Yeah you said that-I`m going to take a shower." Devin says turning on her heels.
Joe sighs and walks back into the nursery.
"That goes over there." Joe says pointing.
"Does it really matter where it goes its not like..." Claudio began to say before Jon elbowed him.
"I`m sorry I didn't mean..."
Joe throws his hand up and says.
"I know what you meant."
.
.
Walking back to his room Joe noticed that their door was locked.
"Devin the door is locked."
"Devin?" Joe called when she doesn't reply.
With the state of mind she had been in since the delivery Joe quickly feared the worst. Kicking the door in Joe witnessed the first of many of Devin anxiety attacks.
Running over to her Joe asked.
"Dev what`s wrong?"
Putting his hand around her arm attempting to lift her to the bed Devin pushes his hands away and says.
"Don`t-touch-me." As she hyperventilated.
Walking into the nursery Devin just stood there looking around when she decides to walk over to the crib. Looking inside the crib and imagining what could have been Devin sighs as she grabs the small yellow blanket and folds it then reaches over the two cribs and takes down the names hanging on the walls beside the two cribs. Turning around to put them Devin bumps into something hard nearly knocking her off her feet.
"Joe you scared me." Devin said catching her fall.
"Sorry about that."
Devin flashes him a quick smile.
Grabbing what was in her hand Joe asked.
"What are you doing?"
"Just taking things down." Devin replied.
"Are you ready to take things down?"
"Of course not, but this is just something I have to do."
"Something we have to do." Joe corrected.
Taking the stuff back out of his hand Devin walks past him and pulled out a box and said.
"No I said it right the first time- you have to get up early tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter if you need my help then I`m here."
"I`m okay."
Lifting her chin Joe pecks her on her lip`s and then say.
"Well good night, don't take too long." and turns to walk out.
Grabbing a few more stuff Devin put`s it in the box and head`s out of the room.
