Chapter 25

"Ms. McMahon, Mr. Hardy, Shaina is doing fine. The fall did leave her with many bruises, but besides that, she is okay," the doctor said, as Stephanie smiled. "Oh thank God. What about the baby?" Jeff asked worriedly. "Unfortunately, Ms. Demergian's baby did not live. The fall was to hard and it died. I'm very, very sorry," the doctor answered, as he walked away. "Oh man, I'm so sorry Jeff," Stephanie said, as she hugged him. "My baby is gone. My child is gone," he replied, too shocked to say anything else. "Let's go see how Shaina is doing," Stephanie said, trying to change the subject. "Yeah, I bet she's devastated to," he replied, as they started walking to Shaina's hospital room.

Once inside, they both gasped. She had bruises all over her face and it was obvious she had been crying. "Shaina, are you okay?" Stephanie asked, as she held her hand. "No. My baby died. It's gone forever. I'll never get to hold it, play with it or raise it. I should have listened to you Steph. I'm so sorry," Shaina answered, as she started to cry. "It's okay. Just as long as we are still best friends. I love you and I'll always be there for you," Stephanie said, as she hugged Shaina. "And as for me, I'll always love you. You are my life and I can't live without you," Jeff suddenly said, as Shaina smiled slightly. "Jeff, I'm so sorry for the way I treated you. I love you more than life itself and I need you with me. I've missed you for so long. I just hope you can forgive me," she replied, as he walked up to her. All he did was look at her. She was still as beautiful as when he first met her and in her eyes, he saw love. He smiled and kissed her softly. "I forgive you and we will be together forever," he said, as he smiled.

*~*~ 1 month later ~*~*

Jeff smiled as he and Shaina walked through the park together. They had been through so much and finally they were happy. They had found out that Stacy was lying about carrying Jeff's child. Stephanie did her investigation and it worked. Shaina laughed when she though of her best friend being a detective. "I'm so happy we are together," she said, as she kissed him. "I'm happier," he replied, as someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and rolled his eyes when he saw Stacy. "What the hell do you want?" he asked, as she made a puppy face. "I know you love me. You are just using this bitch to screw with," she answered, as he raised his hand up to hit her. But suddenly he was stopped by Shaina's hand. "Jeff, what are you doing? Hitting her is my job. I've wanted to kick your ass for so long and now I'm going to," she said, as she speared Stacy. She then started punching her continuously. "This is for Jeff, this is for my baby, and this is for me!" she yelled, punching her three times. "Ow, my nose! It's broken!" Stacy screamed, as she started to cry. Shaina got up and smiled. "Your face wasn't that pretty anyway," she said, as Jeff wrapped an arm around her. "Goodbye Stacy," he laughed, as he and Shaina walked away satisfied.

An hour later, they were sitting on a bench in front of a lake. "This is so peaceful. It's beautiful," Shaina said, as she laid her head on Jeff's shoulder. "Yes, I agree, but there is a reason why we came here," he replied, as she looked at him confused. He smiled and knelt down. "Oh my God Jeff," she said, as she tried not to scream. "Let me speak," he replied, as she nodded. "Shaina, I know when we first met, we hated each other and to tell the truth, I cannot believe it. You are so kind and loving, I just can't imagine my life without you. From our first kiss, I knew we were meant to be together. I love you with all my heart and I need you in my life. Shaina Demergian, will you give me the honor of being my wife?" he asked, as she nodded happily. "Yes!" she exclaimed, as she hugged him. He slipped the ring on her and smiled. "I love you," he said softly, as he pulled her into him. "And I love you too. More than you could ever imagine," she replied, as the two of them shared the most passionate kiss they had ever had.
