A/N: Thanks for reviewing the last chapter Trishrocks, jcott3, and Ainat. Hope you guys are enjoying the new year so far. I have some new stories in mind that you guys might just enjoy this year, but now for now here's the lastest installment in this fic. I would've updated more this month, but I've just been too busy to do so...and I had a severe case of writer's block. Not a good thing at all!
''I'm going to go get a cup of coffee from the cafeteria, you three want anything?" Paul asked.''No thanks, sweetie, I've got my little bundle of joy right here. That's all I need.'' Stephanie said as she gently patted her daughter's back to burp her before she began to turn fussy once again.
"And me.'' Paul said acting as if he were hurt from his wife's statement.''Of course you too, hon.'' Stephanie said with a glowing smile as she looked at her husband.
Levesque just smiled and opened the door of the hospital room.
''Adam? Trish?'' The multiple time world champ asked his two friends.
''I'm good. Trish?"Adam asked turning in his seat to look at the blonde.''I'm fine. Thanks for asking.'' she replied.
''Okay," he said and turned back to Paul. ''Hey, Paul, right behind you.'' Adam said raising his hand to stop his friend.
He looked back at Trish.
''You sure you don't want anything?''
She thought for a second, ''On second thought a bottle of water is fine. Thank you.''
''Your welcome.'' Adam said and lightly kissed her forehead.
Adam caught up with Paul and the two men headed to the cafeteria.
''He really does care about you.'' Stephanie said noticing the way Adam cared for Trish.
''I know. Each day I ask myself what would I do without him. You ever had a guy friend who you felt so inseperable from to the point where you feel liek your life is incomplete without that person?'' Trish asked.
''Yeah, actually I do now; Paul.'' The brunette replied. ''I know he's my husband, but before we dated we felt that way about eachother. I still can't imagine my life without Paul.''
It was obvious that she and her husband were still in love like happily married newlyweds. If only she and Chris' relationship headed down that road, but that was in the past and there was no way she could ever go back to him.
''That's a really great accomplishment in a marriage, you know still feeling the way you did when you two first got together and when you got married.'' Trish said, ''I remember when Chris and I talked about marriage once upon a time ago. Now we can't even stand to look at eachother.'' she snarled.
''Does he still think you and Adam slept together?''
''Not anymore after we talked at his place the other night.''
''Wait...you went to his house?'' Stephanie asked, shock written all over her face.
Trish nodded. ''I just couldn't see him attack Adam again, so in the middle of the night last week, I left Adam's and went to Chris' to back to him. I thought if I did go back to him it would stop the attacks, which it did, but the whole thing turned out to be such a distaster that made me cry almost every minute.''
''Why were you crying?'' Stephanie asked furrowing her brows.
''Because I felt like I betrayed Adam when I did that. He had no clue that I left his house to get back with Chris. He thought I was in Orlando...which I told him I was. After that one lie it turned into another and then a few more. I hated lying to him and cried about it several times that day. The second reason was when the entire plan blew up in my face when they both found out what was going on. I felt like such a fool when all of that happened.''
Stephanie gasped. ''How did they find out?''
Trish continued on with the story. Ten minutes passed leaving the Billion Dollar Princess halfway speechless.
''Oh my. I didn't even know any of this happened...so have you talked to Chris since the incident?''
Trish shook her head. Even if I did he'd still be angry about the situation, but I did what I did for a reason. I wouldn't have had to do so had we'd just talked all of this rumor crap out like adults. I'm pretty sure that suspension won't change him.''
''You never know. He's still going to be out this week. He may just come back as a new person. Never doubt Chris...ever.''
''True...well hopefully he does. Its about time that he got over wanting to punish Adam for the mistakes he made in our relationship. That's basically what he's doing.''
Stephanie sighed, ''Only time will tell.''
Trish nodded. Suddenly the door opened. Adam and Paul walked inside.
''I was wondering when you two would ever come back. What took you so long?'' Stephanie asked with a smile.
''That line was full of new fathers and doctors getting cups of coffee. Guess they're not the only ones who need it to keep them up for the night.'' Paul replied. '' I got you a bottle of apple juice and a sandwich incase you got hungry.'' he said making his way over to his wife.
''Thanks, sweetie.'' Stephanie said and kissed her husband's cheek.
''Here's your water. You sure you don't want anything else?'' Adam said handing Trish her bottled water.
''Yes, Adam, I'm sure.'' Trish reassured him smiling.
''Okay.'' he chuckled. ''Its getting kind of late, guys. I'm sure you have other visitors who want to see the little one.''
''Its okay. See you tomorrow?'' Paul asked shoving his hand in his jean pockets.
''I guess. Don't you have to take off for Steph and the baby?''
''My mom's going to be helping me out around the house with the baby until you and Paul's storyline ends, which isn't that long.'' Stephanie stated.
''Thanks, Steph. That makes sense. Well congratulations, you two. We'll see you later.'' Adam said.
''Thanks.'' Paul and Steph said in unison.
Trish walked over to her best friend and gave her a hug and congratulated she and Paul.
'' Thanks, Trish and thanks for stopping by. You and Adam. Thanks for the presents also, and most of all, thank you Adam for helping me when I started having contractions.'' Stephanie said.
''Your welcome, Steph.'' The duo said. They waved the married couple goodbye and headed to the elevators.
''Going down.'' Adam said with a smile as he pushed the down button on the elevator.
Trish giggled.
The elevator came to a stop seconds later and the two got inside. After exiting the elevator, they walked through the lobby and went to thr parking lot. Adam opened the door of his rental car for Trish. After he made sure she was inside, he got inside himself, started the car, and headed to the hotel.
I had a great time with you today.'' Trish said as she and Adam stood outside her hotel room.
''I did with you too. I'll see you in the morning for our flight. Sleep well.'' Adam said.
''You too.'' Trish said and kissed Adam's cheek.
A week later
Trish and Adam were in their hotel room in Boston. Trish was sitting on the bed with a sad look on her face, while Adam was in the kitchen. Once he came back into the bed room he noticed Trish wasn't herself.
''Hey, what's wrong?'' he asked putting a hand on Trish's shoulder and kneeling on the floor.
''It's nothing.'' she said quietly as she looked down at the floor.
Adam lifted her chin with his finger and looked her in the eye. ''Trish, I know there's something wrong. You know I know you better than that. Does it have to do with Chris?''
Tears began to form in the blonde's brown eyes. ''Yes.'' she said quietly. Her voice ready to crack. '' Adam, I don't want him to hurt you again! she cried. ''He's not over what happened last week. I know it. Chris just isn't the type to forget things, Adam.''
''I know he's not, but Trish, he's not stupid. He won't pull the same crap he's been pulling if even bigger consequences come his way. That buisiness is like his second family even though he knew he fucked up. Even if he does hurt me again that's not going to stop me from being in your life.''
Trish sniffled as more tears poured down her cheeks. ''I don't know what I'd do without you, Adam.'' she said and threw her arms around his neck.
''I don't know what I'd do without you either.'' Adam said. ''I really don't.'' he thought.
Adam broke away from Trish. ''Hey, don't cry,'' he said wiping her tears. ''You're gonna ruin your makeup.'' he chuckled.
Trish scoffed with a smile. ''Makeup is the least of my worries right now. You are.''
''You don't have to worry about me, Trisha. I can handle him.'' Adam said softly as he caressed her cheek.
''I know you can, but still,'' she sighed. ''I just wish things could go back to being the way they were before all of this happened.'' she whined.
''No you don't. You'd still be miserable with Chris.''
''True.'' she exhaled. ''You always know the right things to say. I love you, Adam.''
'' I love you too, Trish.'' Adam said. ''I really, really do.''
He pulled some Kleenexes from the box on the nightstand and wiped her tears. Even when mascara was practically running down her face she was still beautiful.
Trish chuckled while sniffling. ''Look at me, I'm a crying wreck...once again.''
Adam smiled. ''A very beautiful crying wreck.''
Trish playfull rolled her eyes and lightly smacked Adam's chest. ''Oh, Adam.'' she said.
He laughed a little, then seriously looked her, caressing her face. ''I hate seeing you cry.''
''I'm sorry. I just can't help it.'' she then sighed. ''We should get going to the arena before I end up getting you a fine with me.''
''Who cares? Your happiness is what matters.''
She sighed once again.'' We should really get going,'' she said standing to her feet. '' Do I look bad?''
''No...you look beautiful.'' Adam said standing to his feet.
''Thank you.'' she blushed.
Adam nodded. He grabbed their bags from the couch. With his free hand he put it out for Trish to grab.
She smiled and glady took his hand. Adam then put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her head.
''We'll be fine.'' he said and they headed out the door.
On the way to the arena every now and then Adam would glance over at Trish, who was sitting in the passenger's seat to see if she was okay. She seemed to be holding up.
Adam parked his rental once they got to the arena. He and Trish grabbed their things and made their way inside the packed arena that night.
As soon as they walked in they heard the deafening cheers from the Boston crowd.
''They're gonna be even louder when you come out.'' Adam said to Trish.
''I hope so.'' she smiled.
Then out came a familiar face from the men's locker room. Chris. He was dressed in his ring gear already ready to return to the ring.
Trish looked at Chris then at Adam. Tension filling in the air.
''Adam, Mr. McMahon wants to see you. Its regarding your current storyline.'' A backstage coordinator said approaching the two.
''Right now?'' Adam asked trying his best to talk over Nickelback's 'Burn it to the Ground', RAW's opening theme playing louder than usual.
''Yes!'' The coordinator hollered over the music. Then the volume was lowered. ''Yes.'' he said in his normal voice.
''Alright. You'll be okay by yourself?'' Adam whsipered as he put his hand on Trish's arm.
Trish nodded. ''Of course.''
''Okay. I'll be back.''
She nodded again. Seeing Chris still standing in the same spot out the corner of her eye. Once Adam was out of sight she headed to the women's locker room.
''Can we talk?'' Chris said as Trish had her hand on the door knob of the locker room.
''There's nothing to talk about.'' Trish simply said.
''Yes there is...about the other night.''
''Look, Chris, I already told you the reason why I lied and went back to you. I'm sorry for that, okay? But there's nothing else for us to talk about. Simple as that.'' she said and turned the knob of the door.
''I understand why you did what you did now. It took me long enough, but I understand. I mean the way I treated you...it was unacceptable. I'm sorry, Trish.''
''Well I'm glad you figured that out. Maybe you won't make that mistake with someone else.'' Trish said seeing right through his act.
''Trish, there's not going to be anyone else. It's always going to be you because I love you.'' Chris said.
Trish began to get annoyed. ''Like I told you before, if you loved me you wouldn't have hurt Adam. He's my best friend, Chris, and I will not ignore the fact you attacked him.'' Trish spat.
''I know you can't and I'm sorry for that, but Trish, we can't go on like this knowing we work together.''
''We can try.'' Trish said turning the knob once again, only this time fully. Before she could open the door Chris turned her around and kissed her lips.
When Adam walked out of Vince's office he felt like his heart had just broken into a million little pieces when he saw the woman he loved kissing her ex.
