A/N: Sorry for the delay, I've been really busy. I know in my last chapter I wrote that I would be doing Christmas at the Lawler's but have decided not to. Instead I'm moving right on to New Year's Eve and Torrie and Jay's reception!
Chapter 21:
Regan's POV
My secret was eating me up inside. The fact that I was the keeping this secret from everyone I loved was really bothering me. I had to tell someone, and that someone was Shane. My hands were shaking as I picked up the phone and dialed his familiar number. "Hello."
"Hi, Shane, it's me."
"Regan! Hey did you catch Raw last night?"
"Yeah. You and Chris started a feud?"
"I know. It's really excited. I haven't had much to do since the Kane angle ended. So what's up?"
"Shane, there is something I really need to tell you?"
"What is it?"
I took a deep breath. "Do you remember last week, when something was wrong and I wouldn't tell you what it was exactly?"
"Regan, what is it? You're starting to worry me."
"Shane, when I went to the doctor's last week, he told me something. Shane, I'm pregnant." I waited for a response. The line was silent. "Shane?"
He laughed nervously. "For a minute there, I thought I heard you say you were pregnant."
"I am."
"Oh, my God. Regan how did this happen."
"Well, when a man and a woman love each other."
"This is not funny, Reg."
"Sorry."
"My I ask, who the father is."
"Jay." I mumbled.
"What did you say?"
"The father is Jay!" I yelled. I immediately scolded myself. Luckily dad wasn't home from Raw yet and Brian was out with friends.
"You have got to be kidding me."
"Why would I lie to you, Shane?"
"Are you sure it's not Randy's?"
"Positive. I would have to sleep with him first."
"Does he know?"
"I haven't told him yet."
"What are you waiting for?"
I was getting frustrated. "Well this really isn't something you tell the father of your unborn child over the phone."
"You told me over the phone."
"You're not the father, you're like the godfather or Uncle Shane."
"I'm gonna be an uncle."
I laughed. "I have my first appointment tomorrow."
"I'm coming with you."
"What?"
"You heard me. I'm coming with you. It's on the way to Tampa. You are still going to Jay and Torrie's reception?"
"Yeah, I guess so. Thanks Shane."
"No problem. I'm not going to let you go through this alone."
My appointment went well. My new doctor, Dr. Woodridge, was very informative. She told us the baby's heart had more then likely started beating. She placed a stethoscope on my stomach and found it. As I heard the heartbeat for the first time my eyes began to well up and I squeezed Shane's hand. "Would the father like to hear also?" Dr. Woodridge asked handing Shane another stethoscope." I watched as he paled to a greenish shade.
"He isn't the father. He's my best friend."
Dr. Woodridge grew red. "Ohh, please forgive me. I shouldn't have assumed anything." Seeing how much hearing my baby's heartbeat meant to me, she gave me one of the stethoscopes to take home with me.
As Shane and I approached Jay and Torrie's house, I could feel my nerves getting the best of me. "I think I should tell him tonight."
"You have to be kidding. This is his wedding reception."
"This is his baby!" I yelled pointing to my belly. "The last time I had something important to tell him, I was too late. I need to tell him tonight."
Shane knocked on the door. We waited outside until the door opened. "Hi, Shane. Regan! What a surprise. We weren't expecting you, seeing how you weren't on Raw this week. Please come in to our home." Torrie said, emphasizing the "our." She led us through the house out back where everyone was waiting.
Trish, Stacy, Adam and Chris immediately swarmed Shane and me. "Regan, are you alright?" Stacy asked a look of concern spread across her pretty face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I really wished I could have been there Monday. That was a great show." I said glancing around the yard. I caught a glimpse of Jay talking with Charlie Haas and Kurt Angle. "I'll catch up with you later." I made a beeline across the yard towards Jay. He was laughing and looked to be having a great time. Pity I'd have to ruin his life tonight. "Hi, Jay."
"Regan! Glad you could make it." He gave me a hug. "How are you?"
"Jay, I really need to take to you, alone."
"Reg, I can't right now."
"Please Jay, this is really, really important. It cannot wait another minute."
He must have seen the desperation in my eyes, because he agreed and we head back through the house and into the front yard. "What's up?" he asked as we sat down underneath an old oak tree.
"I really don't know how to tell you this. There's no easy way."
"Regan, what is it? You can tell me."
"Okay, here it goes." I took a deep breath. I could fell the tears begin to well up in my eyes. "Jay, I'm pregnant."
His eyes grew wide. "Oh, my God Reg. That's really.does Randy know?" I began to grow angry. Why the hell did everyone thing that it was Randy's baby? I knew that's what everyone would think knowing that Shane, Jay and I were the only ones who knew about me and Jay.
I took a deep breath. "The baby is not Randy's. It's yours." The words seemed to smash into him like a brick wall. The look of shock still hung heavy on his face. I watched as he looked around in disbelief.
"We.me and you.are having a baby?"
I nodded. My eyes cast down on the ground. I was ready for him to begin to shout and scream, to tell me that this was all my fault. I was waiting for him to tell me he hated me, that I had ruined his life. I slowly lifted my head to meet his eyes. He had a smile on his face. "We're having a baby."
I felt a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders. "What about Torrie?"
The smile fell off his face. "I'll have to tell her about us now, but I'll tell her. She'll be pissed, but she'll get over it in time." His face twisted into one of terror. "Does your father know yet?"
"No. Just you and Shane."
"Shane knew before I did?" I saw the old jealous Jay beginning to
shine through.
"Believe me. I wanted you to be the first to know, but this isn't
really something you tell the father of your child over the phone. It
was beginning to eat me up inside. I ad to tell someone."
"I understand."
"Do you want to hear something?"
"Yeah, what?"
I pulled the stethoscope out of my purse and put it in my ears.
I moved the round metal piece around until I hear the faint murmur of
a heart. "Here, put these on." He looked at me puzzled, but obliged.
I watched his face contort into shear amazement.
"Is this the heartbeat?" I nodded. "Our baby has a heartbeat."
I laughed. I moon peeked out from behind the clouds and a beam lit
up his face. I watched as a single tear rolled down his cheek.
Everything would be all right.
Torrie's POV
"Have you seen Jay?" I asked Charlie Haas. He nodded.
"Yeah, Regan came up about five minutes ago. They headed through the house."
"Thanks!" I said a fake smile plastered on my face. I turned away from him and my smile faded away. She just never gave up, did she? I still didn't trust Regan. I never would. There was too much history there for my liking. I headed through the house in search of my husband.
I walked through the living room to the large window in the foyer. I caught a glimpse of two people underneath the tree. I leaned closer and made out the faces. Jay and Regan. Jay had something in his ears and his face was one of wonderment. "Torrie, there's no more beer in outside."
"There's some in the fridge, Andrew."
I turned back to the window. Regan and Jay were heading back inside. I hurried away from the window and back outside. I would find out what Regan Lawler was up to. One way or another.
