Summary:  Why is Paul such a jerk?!

It's three months since Paul and Ebonee married.  Paul has been so wonderful and attentive.  When he's on the road he makes sure to call everyday, but today wasn't the same.  7:38 pm had rolled around and Ebonee hadn't heard from Paul, she tried calling him, but his voice mailbox was full and he didn't pick up the phone.

Ebonee ate some Thai pad and had some lemonade while watching Raw that night.  As usual, as 9:00 rolled around she became sleepy.  She locked up the house and went upstairs to her bedroom.  She'll watch tv in bed, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

It wasn't the expected call from Paul that woke Ebonee up at 3:22 in the morning, it was a stab-like pain in her side.  Ebonee sat up and started to breathe hoping the pain would go away but it didn't .  She reached for the phone and dialed as tears came to her eyes.

Meanwhile in Los Angeles Paul is in bed with another woman!  And of course they are not sleeping!  Paul rolls away from her and it's Stephanie who smiles as Paul walks away to the bathroom.

Back in Conneticut, Terri runs down the hall to Ebonee's room.  She opens the door and cups her face crying.

Terri:  Oh Ebbie.

Terri crosses to teary eyed Ebonee and embraces her and the two cry.

A while later as Ebonee sleeps, Terri tries to call Paul.  He's gone to get food.  Stephanie picks up the phone thinking it's hers.

Stephanie:  Stephanie McMahan.  Happily and recently just sexed up!  (silence)  Hello?!

Terri:  Stephanie?

Stephanie:  Terri?  Hey, what's goin on?

Terri:  Nothing… I was calling Paul.

Stephanie:  (realizes she's picked up the wrong phone)  You must have dialed wrong.

Terri:  No, no I didn't.

Stephanie:  Well you must have because you dialed my phone! (hangs up.  Paul enters with food)  Damn!

Paul:  What?

Stephanie:  Terri Runnels just called.

Paul:  Is Ebonee okay?

Stephanie:  Paul!  She called on your phone!  Your phone that I picked up!

Paul:  What!?  What did you tell her?!

Stephanie:  I- I panicked!  I told her she called the wrong phone number!

Paul:  How can you be so stupid!  How!

Stephanie:  I panicked okay (Paul is calling someone)  Who are you calling?!

Paul:  My wife!

Stephanie:  And how obvious would that be!

Paul: (hangs up)  How fuckinbelievable!

Terri still can't believe what she's thinking.  She knew how things went down with Joanie and Paul.  "He can't!  She's having his baby.  Was having his baby.   Poor Ebbie."

Ebonee:  Terri.  Terri.

Terri:  Sweet Pea, you should get some rest.

Ebonee:  Did you get in touch with Paul?  Paul needs to know.

Terri:  I couldn't get him sweetie, but I will.

Ebonee:  I need to make… arr…

Terri:  You rest, I'll do that okay.

Ebonee:  Thank you for being here.

Terri:  There's no other place I would rather be.

That afternoon Ebonee tries to reach  Paul.

Paul:  Hello?

Ebonee:  Paul?

Paul:  Baby where are you!  I've been going crazy trying to reach you….

Ebonee:  Paul…

Paul:  Is Terri with you?

Ebonee:  Yes.  Paul I'm in the hospital.

Paul:  What?

Ebonee:  Last night…  I lost… I miscarried the baby.  (crying)  I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry.

Paul:  Oh God.  Baby I'm sorry.  I should have been there with you, baby I'm sorry (tears)

Ebonee:  Terri's helping.  Making arrangements,   I'm going home in the morning.

Paul:  I'll pick you up.  I love you Ebonee.

Ebonee:  I love you.

A week later and Paul has stayed with Ebonee.  He's working on the car and she is watering the lawn.  She looks over at her husband and turns off the hose and walks to him.

Ebonee:  Paul.

Paul:  Yeah.

Ebonee:  What are you doing?

Paul: (smiles)  Changing your oil.

Ebonee:  You know what I mean.  Vince'll fire you Paul.

Paul:  He doesn't have the grapefruit.  I'm where I should be, I'm where I want to be.

Ebonee:  I'm fine.  Actually.  I was thinking about going back on the… (notices his eyes shift to annoyed) road.

Paul:  Ebbie.  How do I have to spell it out to you that I don't want my wife on the road 52 weeks out of the year!

Ebonee:  It's just a little promotional appearances.

Paul:  I don't like it!  I don't agree with it!

Ebonee:  Duh.  I wasn't looking for you to.

Paul:  And I don't accept it.

Ebonee:  You know I can get hurt staying here at home!

Paul:  You're gonna just do what you wanna do Ebonee so why ask me!  Hell why the hell did you marry me!  Now that the baby's dead maybe you wanna call it quits…!

Paul wishes to God he didn't just say that as the tears well up in Ebonee's eyes.

Paul:  Baby I'm… Baby I'm…

Ebonee runs into the house and up into her room slamming the door.

Paul:  Sorry.
