Paul and Jordan sat in his room staring at each other, "Paul I know not telling you about Nicolas, was wrong and I've regretted it from the moment he was born, I thought I was doing what was right, Joanie said…"
"What the HELL does Chyna have to do with this?" Paul asked staring at her in shock.
"I ran into her when I was about seven months pregnant, She asked me if you knew I told her no that I hadn't told you yet but that I was going to. She told me that you didn't ever want to have kids and that you would walk away and never look back, I decided not to tell you and spare myself the pain of having to face you and you telling me to go to hell, she said you would probably accuse me of getting pregnant on purpose."
"And you BELIEVED her" Paul said standing up and stalking around the room.
"What was I supposed to believe, you had already told me you didn't want kids and not to push you on the subject"
"I believe what I said was that I wasn't READY for kids, we would discuss it when I was" Paul said trying to push down the anger he was feeling. If he seen Joanie again he was going to kill her.
"Paul I am sorry, I should have told you when I first found out, but I didn't and I can't go back and change it. If I could I would and you know that"
"I want my name on his birth certificate and I want joint custody," Paul said sitting back down.
"I'll agree to that, what kind of visitation do you want?" Jordan asked.
"That's tough because I'm on the road so much, how about this, I'll see him as much as I possibly can and between times I'll call three times a week. And I get him two months out of the summer and we alternate Holiday's. Can I have him Christmas this year, my mother is dying to meet him"
"I'll agree to whatever you want as long as it's reasonable." Jordan said tiredly.
"When do we tell him?" Paul asked hopefully.
"I want him to get to know you before we tell him you're his father, can we decide that later?" Jordan said holding her side.
"Sure, the important thing is that I know and nothing can change that"
"Good, I feel better now, thanks for not causing a scene and yelling and screaming. I don't think I could have handled it."
"Jordie, I want you to know that you can come to me with anything, but I need to know one thing," Paul said seriously.
"What?"
"What is going on with you and Nash?"
Jordan looked at him surprised by his question, "We are friends Paul, just like we always have been"
"And what about us?"
"Paul there is no us, and can never be again. To much time has gone by, we are different people now. I'll always love you because you're Nicolas's father but I'm not IN love with you"
"At least you're honest about that," Paul said looking hurt.
"Paul, can you honestly say that you're in love with me?"
"I can't honestly answer that," he said sadly.
"Paul the last thing I want to do is hurt you, but I won't lie about my feeling's for you. I hope we can at least be friends," Jordan said taking his hand.
"Come on I think Nicolas needs to spend some time with you" Paul said standing up then pulling her to her feet.
They walked down the hallway in silence and just before they reached her door Paul pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately. "Don't let me interrupt anything," Kevin said stepping around the corner and walking past the two of them.
Jordan immediately pushed him away from her glaring at him, "What the hell did you do that for" she asked as she heard Kevin's door slam.
"To prove my point to Nash," Paul said winking at her.
"And what point was that Paul, that you're an asshole" she threw over her shoulder as she walked to her room.
"No Jordan, that he can't have you" Paul said as she slammed her door.
Jordan stormed into her room to find Stephanie and Torrie sitting on the bed watching TV. "What's wrong Jordie?" Stephanie asked looking up at her friend.
"Paul is a prick that's what's wrong," she said sitting down next to her sleeping son.
"I take it you're little discussion didn't go to well?"
"No it went fine until we were headed back here and he pulled me into his arms and kissed me just as Kevin walked around the corner."
"So what's wrong with that?" Torrie asked.
"The problem with that is I had just got done telling him I'm not in love with him, and Kevin looked more than a little pissed when he seen us. He even made some comment about not letting him interrupt us then he slammed his door."
"Uhh ohh" Stephanie said getting a bad feeling.
Jordan looked at her friend, "What?"
"Why don't you try to call him?" Torrie suggested
"Did Paul say why he did what he did?"
"I didn't stick around long enough to find out"
"Jordan call Kevin, or better yet go to his room." Torrie said gently.
Jordan shook her head and sighed, "He'd probably throw me out on my ass."
"Kevin wouldn't do that, just go talk to him"
"You think I should?"
"Unless you want him to think you and Paul are trying to get back together," Stephanie said raising an eyebrow.
"Of course I don't" Jordan said defensively.
"Ok this is getting over my head, I think I'm going to head to bed" Torrie said grinning as she left.
"Jordie, we've been friends for a long time, so I'm going to ask you this and you can't get mad"
"Alright, I promise I won't get mad"
"How do you feel about Kevin?"
"God Steph, I don't know. Right now I'm confused. I mean I've always cared about him, He's my friend. There have been times in the last twenty-four hours that he's made my heart pound so hard it feels like it's going to come out of my chest. I'm scared and I don't even know why"
"Jordie, you need to go down and explain to him, if you don't you might never know what could happen. I mean you need to take you're time and figure out what you want, but don't loose a friend because Paul is being a jealous ex." Stephanie told her seriously.
"Can you watch Nicolas for a few minutes more"
Stephanie grinned and looked at the clock, "Gee let me see I have a hot date with the shower but yeah"
"I won't be long" Jordan said throwing a pillow at her best friend.
Kevin heard the knock on the door and ignored it; he knew it was either Paul or Jordan. He didn't want to look at either one of their face's at the moment. "Kevin, it's Jordan. Open the door please."
"Why don't you go see Paul, I'm sure he'd like you're company right now" Kevin said loud enough for her to hear him.
"I don't want to see Paul, I want to see you. Now open the fucking door and stopping acting childish"
"Childish?" Kevin said throwing open the door and towering over her.
"I knew you would open the door," she said grinning up at him.
"I'm not in the mood for games right now Jordie, go back to Paul or to you're room," Kevin said turning around and leaving her standing in the hall.
"Didn't you just hear me say I don't want to see Paul, that I wanted to see you?"
"Uhh sorry to disagree with you darlin but that's not what it looked like a few minutes ago." Kevin said turning around to glare at her.
"Are you jealous Kevin Nash" Jordan asked slyly.
"No I just don't like being lied to"
"And just how did I lie to you?"
"You told me last night that you weren't in love with Paul than I walk around the corner tonight and find his tongue shoved down you're throat"
"For you're information Kevin, his tongue was not down my throat and further more, he did it to piss you off. It obviously worked and you're taking it out on me."
"Hey it doesn't matter to me if you want to get back together with Paul" Kevin said casually with a shrug.
"Fine, I just thought I would explain. Have a good night," Jordan said turning and walking out of the room.
As soon as she closed the door Kevin cursed himself, "Damn it, why did I just say that." He asked himself.
'Because you're a jackass' his inner voice taunted as he walked over to the mini bar and pulled out a beer.
Kevin had just sat down and opened it when the door opened and Sean walked in. "Hey Buddy, how's Jordan?"
"Oh she's great probably pissed at me but great"
"What did you do? I can't imagine her being pissed off at anyone especially you"
Kevin explained what had happened in the last 24 hours by the time he was done Sean was laughing.
"I'm glad you think this is so funny," Kevin said glaring at his friend.
"Dude when are you going to admit you have it bad for Jordan"
"I do not, we are friends that is all" Kevin denied emphatically.
"Ok, so explain to me why you got so pissed when you walked around that corner and found her in Paul's arms.
"Because he's only going to hurt again, he doesn't love her, not like…" Kevin said stopping in mid-sentence.
"Not like you do?" Sean asked grinning.
"Damn, why do you always have to be right?" Kevin asked with a sigh.
"Because I'm just good that way, I have known for a long time that you have feelings other than those of friendship for Jordan. You're just more honorable than I am. I would have stolen her away from Paul first chance I got. She's an amazing woman"
"Yeah, now is not the right time for me to reveal my undying love"
"Maybe not, but don't make her think, you don't give a damn at all. That is one way to push her into the arms of the enemy."
"Paul's not the enemy Sean"
"Then you explain to me why, he kissed her just to piss you off. If you ask me he was trying to make a statement. I think it's time you had a little talk with Paul Levesque"
"You think so?"
"I just said so didn't I?"
"Maybe you're right? I'll be back in a little while."
"Good luck let me know if you need back up. I'm on you're side on this one pal"
"Thanks Sean, I think I can handle Paul" Kevin said grinning as he walked out the door.
