Chapter 2
I was then broken from my thoughts at the sound of the knocking continuing at my door. I could not believe how much time went by. I then heard the knocking continue and I yelled, "Come in."
Shane then came into the room carrying Collin and said, "Barbara, don't you have to get out there and get yourself ready to go on were you are going to be taking pictures for tonight's show."
"Yes, Shane. I was just about ready to go. I just wanted to get this article done before we left the arena tonight. Is Glen waiting outside for me as usually, because I know he is concerned about me?"
"Yes, he is. He has been saying you space out every once in awhile, the closer you guys get to your wedding date or make a major decision about the wedding."
"Well, you know how I feel. I been feeling lately that I should tell Mark in someway about Collin instead of waiting, but then Glen would always tell me no that when the time is right then we will tell him. Also, it is getting harder to write articles about Mark these days. I always seem to lose my train of thought and think back to the past and how I got into that mess with him in the first place."
"It will be okay, Barbara. Right now you need to get out to the ring to get ready for the show before they start to let people in." Then he handed me Collin.
"Okay, so who has Collin tonight?"
"I think I volunteered tonight since both Glen and Paul have to wrestle."
"Thank you Shane. I will see you in the dining hall before the show starts right or will you just come to my office and watch him?"
"Yes, I will probably be there, but most likely I will watch him in here considering his stuff is in here anyway." Then they headed out the door.
Shane, Collin, in my arms, and I walked out of my office. I then walked up to my fiancé, Glen "Kane" Jacobs and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"Did you get your article done?" he asked.
"No, I got sidetrack again and ended updating my bio on my website."
"You know you can't keep doing that. You will just have to get though it. He is going to be part of our lives even though you don't want him to."
"I never said I didn't want him as a part of our lives, I just simple said that we should tell him about Collin before we get married." I said with a little anger in my tone.
"Okay, I sorry for putting words in your mouth. I just don't want you regretting marrying me that's all."
"It's okay. I am just a little frustrated that I could not get my article written before the show started tonight that's all and I never will regret marrying you."
"Hey, you will get it done. Now why don't we go down to the ring so you can find where you will be taking your pictures tonight and then lets go get something to eat? I'm starving."
"Okay, maybe that might work."
They then headed towards the main part of the arena. Once they got there, Glen took Collin out of my arms. I then started to get my camera out of my bag and started to take a few snap shots of Glen holding Collin while I moved around the ring to see where the pictures will come out best. Once I found my spot, I put my camera away, and walked over to the two men in my life.
Meanwhile, Glen was holding Collin in the middle of the ring and was telling all the interesting things that happened in that ring. He also explained to Collin this is where he works along with Uncle Paul, Uncle Shane, Aunt Stephanie, and sometimes Papa Vince. He then felt me put my arms around his waist and hug him. He then asked, "You all done?"
"Yeah, I think its time for me to get something to eat and I think he is also hungry as well." I then pointed to Collin.
"Okay, lets go to the dinning hall and get something to eat, because it is almost show time and I still have to get ready."
They then walked off to the dinning hall to eat with the rest of the company. I saw Paul, aka Triple H, and told Glen to get Collin and me something to eat while I get Collin settled into a seat next to Paul and Shane.
"What would you like to eat?" He asked while walking over to the line.
"Just get me some salad with Ranch and deli meat and cheese. Oh and some fruit would also be nice too." I said while walking towards the table.
Glen then got in line and waited his turn to get some food. Stephanie was in front of him and he asked her if she wouldn't mind helping him out by placing the food on the plates.
While I waited for Glen to come back to the table, I got one of Collin's cups and put some of the juice in it and setup his plate for him to eat. Paul then asked me, "So, how are the wedding plans going, I know you only have what three months left."
"Okay, I guess. We still haven't decided on where to go for our honeymoon and we also haven't decided if we want the reception at my house in Stamford or if we our going to have it at the Banquet Hall in downtown Hartford."
"Well, you guys still have a little time left to decide yet." Shane said.
By the time Glen was able to make it over to the group, Collin was ready to eat and was becoming a little bit fussy. I thanked him when he set down my plate. I then put some of my deli meat and cheese on Collin's plate and he started to eat while I ate my salad. While Glen was eating and talking to Shane and Paul, I just tried to finish eating and finish feeding Collin at the same time. All of sudden an idea came into my head, I then put my fork down and grabbed my notebook out of my camera bag and started to write it down before I lost it. Shane started to ask what was wrong, when Glen stopped him and said, "Don't this might be the first time she might get her work done on her own personal goals."
Once I got the ideas written down on paper and I thought about how it might actually workout for a good article. I looked over at Glen and said, "I might get this article done before tonight after all, I just have to get a couple of answers from Mark before we leave tonight for the hotel, okay."
"Yeah, whatever you need to do. Do it." He said.
They then got up to head back to my office and see if I could talk to Mark before the show started. Glen asked me, "Do you want me to send him to your office while I go get ready?"
"If you don't mind. That way I can get it done and over with while Collin plays for a while before I put him to sleep." Then I gave him a kiss and walked into my office while he walked off toward the locker room area.
While I was waiting for Mark to come to my office, I booted up my laptop and set Collin down in his portable playpen with his toys. I was working on getting my article started when I heard a knock at her door. I yelled, "Come in."
Mark then walked in and asked, "What did you need Barbara? Glen said you need to speak to me about something."
"Yes, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for the article I'm writing for the December issue of WWF Magazine?"
"Sure, ask away."
Well, I got underway and asked my questions and got the answers I was looking for. I just finished getting my response for the last question when a stagehand knocked on the door and said, "The show will be starting in twenty minutes everybody needs to get into place." As soon as I heard that I started to get ready. I then walked over to Collin to give him a hug and to tell him to behave for Uncle Shane. Shane then came into the room to watch him.
Mark then decided that since I was done with him that he would leave. Once he was out of the room, Shane asked, "So, how did everything go with the interview?"
"Fine, got all the answers I did need to get for my article. So, I should have it done before my deadline, but right now I need to get down to the ring and get ready for the show. So, thank you for watching Collin." Then she gave him a hug and walked over to grab her camera bag and head out the door.
The rest of night went fine. I got all my shots I wanted to get for the show. Once the show was over I headed back up the ramp and to the back area. I then walked to my office. Once I opened the door, I found Collin asleep in Shane's arms while he was sleeping on the couch. I quietly put all of my things and Collin's away. Once I had everything away, I careful took Collin out of Shane's arms and woke Shane up to let him know he can go now.
As Shane was walking out the door, Glen came in and asked, "Are you ready to go back to the hotel for the night?"
"Yes, I was just about to come and get you to help me take Collin's things out to the car." They then said their goodbyes to Shane and walked out toward their car.
Once they got back to the hotel room and settled in for the night, Glen asked me, "Did you get any good shots tonight? Also did you get your answers you needed for your article?"
"Yes, I did. The shots should turn out great and once I sit back down tomorrow the article should come together great, but right now I'm tried and really want to get some sleep. So, goodnight sweetheart." Then I gave Glen a kiss and shut the light off on my side of the room.
"Goodnight, Barbara." Then he also shut his light off and went to sleep as well.
During the middle of the night, I got up to get a drink of water and then went back bed. Once I got there I could not go back to sleep, I kept on thinking about my past.
