A/N: I just couldn't post a 3rd chapter last night, though it did cross my mind but I just held off till now. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING! ALWAYS puts a smile on my face when I get a review :). As always R&R :D
Justin waited for a while making sure she was fully asleep then he stood up as slowly as he could then checked to make sure he didn't wake her up when he moved out of the bed and was relieved to see that he didn't and he slowly made his way out of the room and walked to the room Heath and Wade were sharing and knocked on the door lightly. Wade looked at Heath and stood up and opened the door.
"I need to talk to him" Justin said walking into the room
"Cant it wait till tomorrow?" Wade asked
"No, its gotta be now" Justin said walking over to the bed where Heath slept and reached to him and shook him
"Heath, wake up we need to talk" said Justin
Heath woke up and moved his head and looked at Justin.
"What did I do now?" he asked
"Nothing, we need to talk about this though" Justin said
"About what?" Heath asked sitting up and rubbing his eyes
"all this" he said
Heath looked at him confused.
"Look, Lacey wants us to be friends, well she wants us to try anyway. She wants me to be nicer to you so I am going to try that because Lacey gets upset and its not good for the baby, I want you to know I am only doing it for Lacey" he said
"Okay" Heath said
"Yeah" Justin said the turning away walking toward the door then stopped to think about what Lacey told him about him trying hard to be accepted again and he turned to Heath and looked at him.
Heath was moving the blankets around and getting comfortable again in his bed when he looked up and saw Justin was still standing there but not only that he was actually looking at him as if he was about to kill him again.
"You still seeing your psychiatrist?" Justin asked
"Yeah, I am" he said
Justin nodded "Still making progress?"
"He says I am, I think I am, I don't get urges anymore" he said
"That might be because you cant look at her, that really hurt her tonight Heath, it upset her alot, I don't understand what she is thinking or how her mind is making her cope with all this because she wont talk about it much. But for whatever reason you being upset is hurting her, it should be the other way around and her being upset should upset you-"
"It does upset me Justin, you have no idea how much regret I have for what I did, especially now that I realized how bad it was that I hurt her" Heath said
"You have regret, she has physical and emotional pain to deal with, you know what she does when she looks herself in the mirror now?" Justin asked
Heath shook his head
"No. You don't, I do because I've seen her do it. She gets so upset she actually beats on the mirror telling herself things putting herself down, that she's worthless, that she's ugly, that she hates herself"
Heaths heart sank and he tried to fight back tears cause he knew she was dealing badly with it all but hearing about it made it worse.
"But I made a promise to her last week that I would try to work things out with you so we could all work together, you ruined it, but I am willing to try again for Laceys sake" Justin said
Heath nodded in agreement. Justin turned to Wade.
"So I think I am going to pay for another night here, just so I wont have to make her ride home in a plane, I want her to rest since she has a pretty big bump on her head" Justin said
"Okay, want us to stay too?" he asked
"You don't have to" Justin said
"we'll figure it out tomorrow" Wade said
"Justin" Heath said
"Yeah" Justin said turning around and looking at him
"I honestly don't know how many times I can say I'm sorry without sounding like a broken record, but I am sorry, I really am and I wish I could do something to show you just how sorry I really am but I dunno what I could do" Heath said
Justin shook his head and Heath sighed looking down at the blankets on his bed.
"I'll quit" he said
"What?" Justin asked
"I'll-I'll stop wrestling, I'll quit" he said
"You don't have to do that" Justin said
"It would help Lacey, I'll even move out of Tampa, Lacey will be better off, she'll feel better not having me around" he said
"That is not even true" she said walking into the room with tears in her eyes shocking every single person in the room
"Lacey, how long you been there?" Justin asked
"Long enough" she said
"Are you in pain again, is there something wrong with the baby?" he asked
"No" she said
"Why are you up?" he asked
"I woke up and you weren't there" she said
"Sorry I had to have a talk with Heath" he said
"I know, you two need to solve this, honestly, and stop this" she said
"That's why I came in here so we could find a way to work this out" Justin said
"Heath, you do not have to quit, you're fine where you are and as long as you are dealing with whatever issue you had that made you snap I'm okay with you being around, the only issue I have is that you two cant get along" she said
"Rape is unforgivable" Heath said
"I know, but you've been showing me that you want to deal with it, you chose to get help on your own, no one told you to get help you made the choice on your own. That shows you care. Justin" she said turning to him "that shows he cares, he feels so badly about what he did that he went out and got himself help. You know as much as I do and I said this the other night that no rapist" she turned back to Heath "honey I am not calling you a rapist just bear with me here okay" she said as she turned back to Justin "but a rapist doesn't feel remorse most of the time he does not care who he's hurt, what he's done, or what the consequences are" she turned back to Heath "He does, he's proved that already, its been how long now that you been seeing a psychiatrist?" She asked
"almost 2 months" he said
"I get that Lacey, but...I dunno...I feel betrayed by him I trusted him with you, I trusted him because he was my best friend, this hurts me too, I miss my best friend" Justin said frowning
"I know, which is why you both should try harder at working this out so you two can get along" she said
Justin nodded and they both kept their heads down.
"I'm tired, I'm taking this little one and going back to bed" she said rubbing her stomach
Justin smiled and put his hand on her arm to stop her and she turned to him as he leaned down and kissed her stomach
"Night little one" said Justin "Goodnight babe, I'll be in soon" he said kissing her on the forehead
"Goodnight, goodnight guys" she said
"Goodnight" Wade said
"Night" Heath said
Lacey took a step and felt the sharp quick pain again nearly sending her to the floor but Justin caught her.
"God, I wish these growing pains would stop already" she whispered
"You okay?" Justin asked
"Yeah" she said
"Here, sit" Heath said moving back in the bed as Justin guided her to sit down
"I'm okay, the baby is obviously growing" she smiled
"I cant wait till I see a baby in the ultrasound" she said rubbing her stomach "I cant wait till I see my stomach start showing signs of a baby" she said smiling even bigger
Justin smiled and sat down beside her
"Are you still going to love me when I get bigger?" she asked
"What kind of question is that? Of course I will, you could weigh 300 pounds and I'd still love you to death" he smiled kissing her on the side of her head
She smiled and looked at her stomach
"You feel anything yet?" Wade asked
"No, I read you don't feel anything till you are around your 20th week but they said you could feel little fluttering type feeling as early as the 14th week or better if you lay really still for a while" she said
Wade smiled "You look excited"
"I am!" she smiled
Wade smiled as well.
"well I'm going to bed" she said standing up and kissing Justin
"Goodnight, again" she said as she left the room
Justin stood up from Heaths bed and looked at him
"She has a point, you are trying, I respect that, this is just going to be really hard to work around what happened" he admitted
Heath nodded "I know, I don't blame you for hating me what I did was wrong, I know that"
Justin nodded not knowing what to say
"You're going to be an amazing father" Heath said with a small smile
"Thanks I hope so" Justin said
"You will be" Heath said
"I should get in there and let you guys sleep" Justin said standing up
As soon as Justin turned his back Heath quickly frowned then shook it off and looked at Justin.
"Night" Heath said
"Goodnight Jus" Wade said
"Goodnight" Justin said walking out of the room
Wade looked at Heath "You alright?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" he asked
"I dunno just wanted to make sure" Wade said
Heath nodded and slowly laid back down and laid his face into this pillow and began to think about everything and teared up a little off and on till he eventually fell asleep.
