~*~Smackdown~*~
Chris was psyched. Today he was getting married. He was on a total adrenaline rush. He was going to be a father--things couldn't be better. Chris grabbed Triple H by his hair and put him in a face plant. He then grabbed his legs and turned him into the Walls of Jericho. He tapped. Everyone knew, even Chris, that the match was staged. It was his wedding day and even Hunter didn't put up a fight. Chris dominated the whole match and won. He rose his arms in victory. He even went gave high fives to the crowd as he made his way up the ramp. Smackdown was over. He looked at his watch…it was only 4 hours until the wedding. It was going to be crunch time but Chris knew he could pull it off. Lita was waiting for him backstage. She smiled brightly and kissed him. "Im gonna head to the hotel and get ready. Don't forget…you have to be at the Church of Angels by 6:30 p.m." Chris grabbed her before she could pull away. "The next time I see you, you'll be walking down the aisle." He nipped at her lip and she giggled. "I know. And I cant wait." She kissed him passionately before leaving with Torrie.

Steph wrote on her clipboard and stood in the hall when Edge passed by. He stopped and looked at Steph. "Hey Stephanie. Aren't you going to the wedding?" Steph looked up. "Oh, no. I-I have too much work to do. Im sure they'll manage without me." Edge moved closer. "Well, Ill miss seeing you there." He titled her head up and kissed the tip of her nose before walking off." She watched Edge until he rounded the corner. "What's this about you not going, missy." Steph turned and looked at Kurt. She smiled uncomfortably. "I just don't think Ill be able to make it there." Kurt took her clipboard and patted her arm. "Sweety, there's a thing called closure and you definitely need it." Steph blinked. "Yeah, and there is a thing called therapy. Which I'll need it I go." Kurt tilted his head. "Ill be right by your side. If I didn't think you could handle it, I wouldn't have asked you in the 1st place. C'mon…and besides, there'll be food at the reception and Im looking for free dinner." Steph laughed and gave Kurt a bear hug. "Alright, alright. You talked me into it…I'll go to the hotel and get ready. Meet you at the chapel?" "Yeah. Sounds like a plan." He smiled and walked off. Steph exhaled. She was going to do this. She had to.
*****
Torrie looked at Lita's hair from different angles. She smiled. "It's just so pretty." "I agree." Said Jaquie. They laughed and Lita looked in the mirror. "I know, I look great." She looked at her wedding dress before putting it in it's carrier. Torrie held the veil. She smiled. It was a tiara attached to veil of white chantilly lace with a satin trim. She set it down and grabbed the make-up kit. "Well, we better get the the church and get you ready, huh?" Lita smiled brightly and clasped her hands together. "I think that would be a good idea." Lita grabbed her bag and her dress. Torrie & Jaqueline grabbed theirs as well as the make-up kit and they left the hotel.
*****
Steph looked at her reflection. She thought of wearing a good 'ole black dress to the wedding…it seemed appropriate. Then there was that shock red one. But somehow her good side, damnit, won over. She wore a pale pink, ankle length dress with thin straps and a sweetheart neckline. Steph put on her diamond necklace and ran her fingers through her wavy hair. She exhaled and grabbed her purse, leaving the her hotel room.
*****
Torrie put the dresses in the limo and suddenly gasped. "Oh my God!" Lita jerked, "What?" Torrie hopped out of the limo. "Your veil, I left it in the room." Lita's jaw dropped. "Torrie! You're supposed to be my maid of honor, if you cant get that right, you can switch w/ Jaqueline." Torrie looked devastated. Lita laughed. "Im kidding, hon. Here, take my extra key and go get it." Torrie took the key and rushed back into the hotel.
*****
Torrie eagerly waited for the elevator to open. And when it did, she dashed in, smacking right into Steph. "Whoa. What's the rush, Torrie?" Steph held open the elevator door. "Sorry, Steph, I forgot Lita's veil in her room. I have to go get it." Steph had no idea what compelled her…"I'll go get it for you." Torrie looked at her with adoring eyes. "Would you? Steph, that would be great." "Yeah, and Ill drop by the chapel right after I get it so Lita has it in time." Torrie hugged her. "thanks, Steph, you're the greatest…here, take the key--" Steph put up her hands. "I'll just find a maid that'll let me in." "It's room 362." Torrie hugged her and rushed back to the limo. Stephanie went back inside the elevator and sighed. 'Damn the good side of my conscience.' She thought.
*****
Slipping the maid a $50 to let her in was a piece of cake. Once she walked in she smelled the distinct scent of Chris's cologne. "Get in and get out." She whispered. She closed the door behind her and walked inside. She grabbed the veil and turned to walk out when she saw one of Chris's shirts on the floor. She paused and slowly picked it up.
*****
"You did what?! Torrie, Stephanie hates me! Do you actually think she was going to bring it to the chapel? You're so fucking lazy, I swear. I better go in there and see if she hasn't ripped it to shreds or thrown it in the garbage.
*****
Steph looked at the shirt and her heart pounded. It was a black Hard Rock Café shirt she bought him when they were vacationing in Las Vegas. He still had it. Steph held it to her. That had to mean something…like maybe he still cared. Steph sighed and put it down. He was getting married and she had to get over it. That's when she heard someone opening the door and without thinking that she had a reason to be in there, she quickly walked into the closet.
*****
As Lita walked in, she felt an arm fall on her shoulder. She turned. It was him. She motioned him to be quiet and get in the room. She looked in the room and saw Steph was no wear in sight. "What do you want? I have to get to the chapel." "What was with the--" He made the quiet gesture. Lita rolled her eyes. "Never mind. What in the hell do you want." "Im telling you I'm done. I cant do this anymore." Lita's eyes narrowed. "What in the fuck are you talking about?" "I mean, Im through. This whole deal with the devil isn't worth it." "We had an agreement." He laughed coldly. "And it shows how desperate for something that didn't even turn out to be that good…" She paced. "What about Princess Stephanie? Don't you want her?" "I want her, yeah. But you're just out to hurt her. And I never signed on for that. These games are getting pathetic…Chris has no idea what he's marrying." Lita whirled to him. "And he never will, you hear me."
~~~
Steph recognized his voice immediately. She breathed as quietly as possible. What was this agreement they were talking about?
~~~
"Lita, don't you know that you can't order me around. I'm sick of all of this. I have nothing to gain and nothing to lose. But I realized…" He smiled. "By telling the truth, you'll lose everything and Steph won't hate me for coming forward." "Yeah, do that and you'll lose her to Chris. Don't even think for one god damned second she'll run to you." They were shouting. "Don't you think I know that?! Im sick of this, Lita. Sick. You're way to twisted for me." "Twisted?! Fuck you. You've always known the way I am. So don't you try and push this holier than thou shit on me now." He grabbed her arm. "And I know you're pregnant with my child I just know it." "And so what if I am?!" Lita froze and looked at him, realizing her mistake. She pulled her arm away. He looked at her. "So you admit it. It's my child." Lita covered her mouth and walked away from him. It just slipped out…she didn't mean for it to. "You aren't going to marry him. This child is mine, godamnit!"
~~~
Steph's hands clasped over her mouth. This child wasn't Chris's.
~~~
Lita walked towards her nightstand and covered her face. He walked behind her. "This is over, Lita. These games are over. Call Chris right now." Lita spoke quietly. "I'm not going to have everything I worked for ruined by you." She suddenly grabbed the lamp off the nightstand and swung. The lamp shattered and he fell to the ground with a thump.
~~~
Steph wasnt expecting that and couldnt supress a scream.
~~~
Lita turned to the closet and smiled. She swung the closet door open and grabbed a wide-eyed Steph by her hair. "Well, look what we have here. I guess I'll be killing two birds with one stone." Before Lita hit Steph over the head with an angel book-end, Steph looked at the man at her feet. There, in a pool of his own blood, was Kurt.
