(It's been a while since I've updated, I've had to work and was somewhat busy with another project. In the last chapter, Dean attacked Eliza and told her that he was the one to call Social Services, he had planned the fight with Bray and that was when Social Services took Noah away. Eliza really thought she knew Dean better than that, she didn't think he would be the type of guy to try something without her consent. If Bray hadn't of shown up, Dean could have raped her like Dillion had. Bray wouldn't have known if Noah hadn't of ran to tell him. Eliza just seemed shocked and stunned and wasn't really reacting to anything until she realized that she was back at the hotel in bed, safe in Bray's arms.)

Between Enemy Lines

Chapter Thirty Seven

Eliza shot up out of bed reaching for her throat and was gasping for air. She felt like her heart was going to explode in her chest. The quick movement had woke Bray up, he noticed how she was breathing, she had that dazed look in her eyes again. Bray wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

"Shh... it's ok..."

Eliza broke down in tears as Bray held her.

"No... it's not... It's never going to stop... Dean's never going to stop."

Noah heard her crying and woke up.

"Momma ok?"

Bray called out to Noah.

"Come here Noah, but be quiet... I think your momma could use a big hug right now."

Noah came over and hugged her, she held onto him and Bray.

"Shh... calm down... I'm going to do everything I can to make sure Dean doesn't come anywhere near you again."

"I... I had finally calmed down and went to sleep, Dean is even haunting me in my dreams, making me re-live what happened over and over again He told me that he called Social Services, he couldn't stand seeing us together. He planned that whole fight... he's the reason why I lost Noah, he said he would do it again as long as I was with you...You had stopped him but in my dream, he wouldn't stop. He only laughed as he raped me, he wrapped his hand around my throat... I couldn't breathe, I was losing consciousness and I thought for sure it was all over. A part of me wishes that was real, he would choke me to death and it would finally all be over."

Bray held her close as he was trying to hold back tears now.

"No... Don't be thinking like that. Don't go wishing to end your life, you have Noah to think about, and me... and this little one growing inside of you. I love you Eliza... Noah loves you. Now that I know Dean planned all of this, I have to do everything that I can to make sure that this doesn't happen again. I can't lose someone I love... not again. You promised me... you would never try to end your life again, I need to know that is still the case."

Eliza looked at Noah, then looked at Bray. It wasn't anything official, but she really started to feel like they were a family. She nodded as she finally calmed down.

"It is... I won't take my life."

Noah had been quiet and didn't really understand what was going on.

"Momma ok now?"

Eliza finally smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek.

"Yes... Momma is ok now."

Bray couldn't help but smile now as he held Noah and Eliza in his arms. He smiled as he placed a hand on her belly. She was still in the early stages of her pregnancy and hadn't started showing yet, but he was excited at the thought of seeing his baby for the first time. Eliza felt safe and loved in Bray's arms. He cared so much for her and Noah, and knew he would care for the baby growing inside of her. She finally smiled at him and kissed him. It was the middle of the night, Eliza put Noah back to bed, then laid back down with Bray. He slowly moved the hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Bray."

"I love you too Eliza. You, Noah, and this baby... you're my whole world."

Bray had thought about it before, but now was seriously thinking about marrying her. Once she had this baby, she would have to take care of it and Noah. It would probably give her peace of mind knowing that he wasn't going anywhere. But before he popped the big question, he needed to make sure that Dean wouldn't be an issue. Something needed to be done about Dean. Later on, after they woke up, Eliza and Bray were talking while Noah was playing with his toys.

"So what are we going to do about tonight? I don't know if I can come back... not after last night."

"I'm going to talk to someone in charge and tell them what happened. You are not to be left alone. While I'm having my match, I'll see if I can get Braun to watch over you."

"So... basically like babysitting..."

"No... you're not a baby, it's not babysitting. Braun is more of a body guard type. Your life is at risk, he's here to protect you. Dean would be a fool to cross Braun."

"At some point, I don't think I'll be able to work this job and take care of Noah and a new baby."

"That's why when the time comes and you can no longer work, you'll be preparing for the baby, and recovering after you have it. You actually don't need to be working this job right now... I can take care of you."

"I know you can... it's just, I don't want to always have to depend on you for everything. I want to be able to do things for myself at least a little."

"I know... and it won't always be like this... we could always get a babysitter for them, and once they get old enough for school, you can work during the day while they're at school."

"Bray... I love you, and I'm so thankful for everything you've done for us. You're letting me and Noah stay with you, you saved my life, and you went through the trouble of getting Noah back. No one has ever loved me like you do. I love what's going on right now, being with you, but when I'm sent home to have the baby, you'll still be on the road with WWE."

"I know... but don't think I'm about to miss the birth of our baby. That's one thing I will not miss. Know this... every mile I travel, every match I fight, just know, I'm doing it for you... for us, my family."

Eliza loved hearing that word. Family was something she had always wanted to have, but almost gave up on. Eliza had agreed to come back to work, but only if something was done about Dean. WWE management wasn't aware of any issues between Dean and Eliza, but to avoid further problems, they made sure Dean knew that he could not come within 100ft of her. Bray liked these terms, but still felt like more needed to be done. Unrelated to Eliza, the rivalry between Bray and Dean was just heating up. Bray had requested for his match with Dean to be a Street Fight. He still had to keep things PG, but he could use tables, ladders, and chairs to inflict as much punishment on Dean that he was allowed to do. Eliza had started working a little, even with Braun around watching over her, she couldn't help but look over her shoulder to watch out for Dean. What Eliza didn't know was that Bray had something planned. Becky had come to check up on her.

"Hey Liza... what's Braun doing back here?"

"Bray wants him back here to watch out for Dean... yesterday... something almost happened with Dean. I could go to someone in charge and tell them what happened, but they probably won't believe me. They'll see Dean as too valuable to the company to get rid of. But one thing they did do... they made it so Dean can't come within 100ft of me. There's a possibility this could help, but what if Dean doesn't care about the rules? He does pretty much whatever he wants whenever he wants. I didn't think Dean was that kind of guy, but while Bray was in his match yesterday... he admit that he was the one that called Social Services. He planned that whole fight and he's the reason why Noah was taken away from me. He said he would do it again as long as i was with Bray... he can't stand the fact that I'm happy with Bray. He tried to force himself on me... I told him that I was pregnant in hopes that he would stop, but something inside of him just snapped... He got more violent... he almost raped me, and probably would have if Bray hadn't of showed up. I guess it's a good thing I have Noah back, because Noah ran off to tell Bray that I was in trouble."

"Oh my God... that had to be absolutely terrifying... especially since you've been raped before."

"It was terrifying. I really didn't think Dean was that type of guy, I thought that part of my life was over. I was so shaken up that I don't really remember much of what happened after that, I remember Bray knocking him out and giving me his shirt, the next thing I know... I'm in a bed snuggled up with Bray. He had taken care of everything... getting us to the hotel, getting Noah to sleep, and even changing me into pajamas. I didn't remember any of that. I was so dazed and shocked that I wasn't aware of what was going on around me. It was so bad that even after I finally went to sleep, Dean was still there. He haunted me in my dreams. Unless I or Dean leave... I don't know if I will ever truly be safe. Bray has matches and can't be around all the time."

"Well... you have me Eliza... you're my best friend. I fought guys Braun's size before I even came to WWE. If Dean comes near you, or even thinks about touching you, I'll break his arm."

Becky looked over to Braun and gave him the secret nod. It was a secret code for him to go down to the ring. Becky already had her match and planned on hanging out until Bray got back. Braun made sure he told Eliza that he was leaving.

"Hey Eliza... do you think you'll be ok with Becky for a few minutes. I know Bray wants me to watch over you, but there is something really important that I need to take care of."

"I should be ok with Becky. Thanks Braun, go ahead."

Eliza had finished pretty early and was just hanging out with Becky.

"Hey... I know a lot of times, you're working and don't get to see much of the show. I would say take a break, but it looks like you've already finished. How about you grab Noah, and we'll go watch on one of those big TVs."

"Ok sure."

"So Bray is in the main event tonight. It's one of those special matches... I think you'll like what you see."

Becky, Eliza, and Noah all started watching the show. Bray was making his entrance, he had planned on Becky showing up to keep Eliza company so Braun could eventually come in and help with the punishment. He knew Eliza would be watching and knew he had to put on a show for her. He was sure she would like what she was about to see.

(To be continued. We're getting kind of close to the end of the story. My goal is to make it to 40 chapters. In the next chapter, we'll have Bray finally put an end to his problems with Dean. Thanks for reading. Review.)
