~One month later~
Lita was starting to show much to Chris's enjoyment. He often would lay down with Lita at night and kiss her tummy, and talk to his son. Lita on the other hand, she seemed depressed as of late. But whenever he asked what was wrong, she would dodge the questions. Work consumed alot of his time but he decided every free moment he spent with Lita. In fact, he had a surprise he thought would put her back into a cheery spirit.

Lita laid back on the bed as the doctor came in. Lita hesitantly asked the doctor a question. "D-do you have an idea when my child was conceived." Dr. Mellows, her ob-gyn, looked at her clip board. "It must have been a month ago...the week of the 13th." Lita nodded and looked away. "Now," said the doctor, "lets see how that baby of yours is doing." Just then, Chris came rushing in. "I'm so sorry I'm late, babe." He kissed Lita's forehead and kneeled beside her. "You're just in time." Said Dr. Mellows. It was then the room was filled with the sound of the baby's heartbeat. A smile slowly spread across Chris's face. "Is that the heartbeat? That's the heartbeat!" He turned to Lita. He stopped short when he saw tears starting to descend down her face. "Li--whats's the matter, sweety?" He held her hand and leaned his head against hers. Then she really started to cry. Chris held her as she had a gut-wrenching cry. The doctor began to put up the equipment. She looked on sympathetically. "This is not that uncommon. Sometimes it takes a while for the reality of motherhood to hit." Chris nodded and held her as the doctor left the room. Chris rubbed Lita's back. "Lita, please...tell me what's wrong." Lita got off the bed. "I just need to get out of here." Chris put his arm around her waist and walked out with her.

She asked him to hold her, and he did. They sat on the balcony of there hotel room. She was in his lap, her head on his shoulder. Chris gently stroked her stomach and tried to be as comforting as possible. He had no idea why she was so upset. And it killed him because he didnt know how to help. It was nearly sunset when she spoke. "I'm sorry...for acting the way I did. I--Im so happy about our baby. I really am. But I think I just realized that me, Lita, I'm gonna be a mother." She lied. "Thats the only reason why I was crying. And Im sorry I upset you." "It's okay...you just really worried me." Lita nodded and looked at the sky. "C'mon, let's watch the sun set." She smiled. They both stood and walked to the edge of the balcony. The horizon was the color of honey. And the skies, pastels of pinks and blue. Lita looked at the sun go down. She smiled dreamily. "It's beautiful." "Yeah, it is." Lita turned to Chris and was surprised to see him kneeling beside her. "Chris...?" Chris pulled a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. Lita gasped and covered her mouth as Chris spoke. "Lita, you're the mother of my child. You've been by my side through thick and thin and I love you," Chris opened the box revealing a sapphire ring with diamond stones inbedded in platinum. "Would you do me the great honor of being my wife?" A happy shriek escaped Lita's lips as she kneeled down with him. "Yes." She kissed him. "A thousand times yes."

Stephanie looked at the sunset. A chill suddenly went through her spine. She shivered. An arm wrapped around her shoulders. "Are you cold?" Steph snuggled closer to his chest. "Yeah...I--I guess that's what that was." Her hand went around his waist. "I'm sure you can warm me up." Edge smiled. "Me too."
