Judgement Day 2002
"Have you seen my elbow pads?" Madison asked her sister.
"Does this look like my dressing room?" Dallas asked.
"It doesn't look like any of your dressing rooms," Madison said to Dallas, Lita, Meredith, and Stephanie. "So since you've decided to invade mine you can help me look for my gear."
"Jeez," Lita said, pulling an elbow pad out of the chair she was sitting in. "How long has it been Steph?"
"Three minutes," Meredith answered for Stephanie.
"Two more minutes," Dallas said, crossing her fingers. "Can you believe it?"
"We don't know for sure," Stephanie warned. "It could be a false alarm."
"I don't think so," Lita said with certainty.
Madison rolled her eyes. "You guys, it's a perfectly normal occurrence. Women get pregnant every day."
"Not women in the WWF," Meredith pointed out. "What's the last time a diva got pregnant?"
Lita looked discreetly at Stephanie. Stephanie smiled sadly. "I'm not really a diva now, am I?"
"Oh Steph," Meredith whispered. "I completely forgot."
"Don't worry about it," Stephanie said. "It still hurts, but I really didn't have enough time to become emotionally involved with the baby."
"And you had all kinds of other things going on," Lita pointed out. "That's when it came out that you and Chris were together, right?"
"Yeah," Stephanie said.
"It's been five," Dallas said, holding her breath. Stephanie and Lita raced to the bathroom.
"It's positive!" Lita exclaimed.
Stephanie came out with tears in her eyes. "It's positive."
Lita was beaming as she came out. "I obviously need to go tell Shane."
"You should make a big deal about it," Meredith said.
"Yeah," Dallas agreed. "In the middle of the ring right before his match against my husband would be best I think."
"Okay," Lita said, nodding.
"Hey kiddies," Madison said. "Hunter is going to be here to get ready for his match soon. You want to head out now that we all have shared the female bonding experience of a pregnancy test?"
The other women left the room, laughing happily. Dallas stayed behind. "You okay Mad?"
"Yeah," Madison said. "It's just. Well, you know."
"Yeah," Dallas agreed. "You'll have a baby someday."
"I know," Madison said. "Go, help Jeff get ready for his match."
"Good luck against Chyna," Dallas said.
"Thanks," Madison said as she plopped onto the couch. She sat there, waiting for Hunter to come to the room. He had promised to accompany her to the ring.
He had become withdrawn over the past week. He didn't touch her as often. They hadn't made love since the night that he had been locked in Shane's office. She still waited for him to reach out to her. He never did.
"Hey baby," Hunter said, as he walked in.
"Hey," Madison said. She got off the couch and started to limber up.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," Hunter said, "then I'll be ready to head out with you."
"You sure you want to come out with me today?" Madison asked.
"Of course I do," Hunter lied.
"Hunter, is something wrong?" Madison asked. "You know you can tell me if something is wrong."
"Baby, everything is fine," Hunter said, pulling her to him. She lifted herself on her tiptoes to kiss him. He pressed a kiss on her forehead and didn't notice when her face fell.
Hunter walked into the bathroom and saw the pregnancy test on the counter where Stephanie and Lita had left it. It was positive. Madison was pregnant. He was going to be a father. Hunter's heart filled with joy. Suddenly his second thoughts about his relationship with Madison fell away and all he could think about getting married and buying a house.
Hunter walked out of the bathroom with a huge smile. He pulled Madison to him and kissed her thoroughly. Madison was pleasantly surprised. "Was that a good luck kiss?" Madison asked, smiling up at him.
"What?" Hunter asked.
"Come on sweetie," Madison said. "Match time."
Hunter let Madison pull him toward the ring. Something was wrong here. If Madison was pregnant she shouldn't be wrestling. Before they went out to the ring he stopped Madison, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Madison looked back at Hunter and felt her heart turn a happy flip in her chest, "I think I'm falling in love with you Hunter."
She turned toward the ramp, leaving Hunter in shock. He followed her down the ramp to where Chyna was waiting. She slid into the ring. Just as the match was about to begin Hunter yelled, "Madison, don't fight this time!"
Madison turned toward Hunter; "I have to Hunter."
Chyna looked at Hunter. They hadn't spoken since they had made love in Shane's office. She had heard that his relationship with Madison was increasingly strained.
"No, you don't," Hunter said.
Madison shook her head and prepared to wrestle. Just as Chyna was about to clothesline Madison, Hunter slid into the ring and knocked Chyna to the mat. The referee called the match on a DQ.
"What the hell are you doing?" Madison asked.
"You were going to kill it!" Hunter said.
"What are you talking about?" Madison asked/
"You're pregnant," Hunter said.
"What?" Madison asked.
"I saw the test," Hunter said. "You just get done saying you're falling in love with me and then you come out here and put my baby in danger?"
"You really think I would do that?" Madison asked.
"I think you just proved you would," Hunter said.
"I'm not pregnant," Madison said.
"I saw the damn test!" Hunter exclaimed.
Madison turned from Hunter and slid out of the ring. She grabbed her belt from the referee and headed up the ramp. Shane and Lita came out onto the ramp and Madison brushed past them.
"What the hell do you want?" Hunter asked.
"The test you found wasn't Madison's," Lita said. "All of us girls thought it would best if the test was taken before getting anyone's hopes up."
"What are you talking about?" Hunter asked.
Lita turned to Shane; "I'm pregnant. The test is mine."
"What?" Shane asked.
Hunter felt his stomach drop. He had just called Madison a liar in front of millions of people. And he was wrong.
Hunter slid out of the ring. He looked back at Chyna who looked a bit dazed and wished he could take her backstage. He had to see Madison first.
"Mad?" Hunter called through the door of their dressing room. He opened the door when she didn't respond. "I'm sorry Mad."
"Why didn't you just ask me?" Madison asked.
"I was so happy when I saw it," Hunter said. "I jumped to conclusions and then when you were going to wrestle I just got angry."
"So I, of course, was the liar," Madison said, "even though you are the one who was locked in an office with your ex-girlfriend."
"You knew?" Hunter asked.
"Shane set it up," Madison said.
"That bastard," Hunter whispered.
"He did it to prove that you really love me," Madison said.
Hunter felt the blood drain from his face. Madison knew. She had known since the moment that she had seen him at the restaurant. She had been waiting for him to say something.
"Mad," Hunter said, kneeling in front of her. "I'm so sorry."
"But you don't love me," Madison said. "You don't really know who you love."
"I know," Hunter said miserably.
"Let me know when you figure it out," Madison said, getting to her feet. She looked at him and her gaze was cold. "And don't you ever call me a liar again."
"Have you seen my elbow pads?" Madison asked her sister.
"Does this look like my dressing room?" Dallas asked.
"It doesn't look like any of your dressing rooms," Madison said to Dallas, Lita, Meredith, and Stephanie. "So since you've decided to invade mine you can help me look for my gear."
