"I think we should take a vacation." Steph said dreamily. "Hmmm?" Chris looked up from his script. "I said we should take a vacation…we deserve it." Chris took off his reading glasses and tilted his head. "And where do you propose we go?" Steph smiled and curled up in his lap. "Oh, I dunno…Venice. So we can have one of those romantic gondola rides. Or Paris--we can walk hand in hand along the Seine…" "I hear Alaska's nice this time of year…" Steph laughed and playfully hit his arm. "Oh, so you wanna see me in one of those sexy parka's, huh?" Chris smirked. "Anything you wear…or don't wear is sexy." "Good answer…Anyways, as I was saying. Id like to go to Ibiza…soak up some sun…" "Wait a minute. I thought you said Venice…" Steph played dumb. "No…I don't remember mentioning Paris…" "I said Venice…" "London??" They both laughed happily. Chris kissed her on the cheek and pulled her close. "Anywhere you wanna go, Princess, it's fine with me." Her fingers threaded through his hair. "Venice…I wanna go to Venice." Chris nodded. "Then Venice it is. As soon as I can convince Vince to gimme some off time--" "I requested for you…a week after we got back together. Your vacation, Mr. Jericho," She looked at her watch, "Well, lookie there, it starts after tonight's Smackdown. Chris laughed. "You conniver." He growled. He nibbled on her neck. "I love it." "You better."

"Where in the hell is the doctor? I have to get ready for Smackdown in an hour!" Lita rolled her eyes. "Well, since we're obviously not your main priority, you can just leave. Ill slip ya a postcard on the sex of our baby when I get a chance." Kurt sighed. "That's not what I--ugh. Just shut up." Lita shook her head and muttered under her breath. Just then the doctor came in. "Well, hello Mommy and Daddy." Lita suppressed her laughter. Kurt smiled and shook her hand. "Hello. We're supposed to find out if we're having a boy or a girl today." The doctor nodded. "That's right. Now," She looked at Lita, "You're gonna have to lay back and Im gonna put this--" "Ive been through this before…no need for explanations." The doctor gave a frozen smile. Kurt spoke up. "Um, excuse my…Lita…mood swings." He confessed. "Don't apologize for me, Kurt." "See!" The Doc gave a half hearted chuckle and proceeded. In moments, the room was quiet save the music to Kurt's ears. His baby's heartbeat. His hand instinctively took Lita's. Her eyes were soft as she looked at her baby on the monitor. She stretched her hand let her fingers lightly run over the image. The doctor smiled. "Okay…" She pointed at the screen. "There's the head…and right here…see that? That's the arm…" She looked at the monitor a moment longer and smiled. She turned to Lita and Kurt. "Alright…would you like the know the sex of your baby?" They both nodded, curiosity etched on their faces. "Congratulations, you're having a baby girl." She wiped away the gel on Lita's stomach and waited for their response. They both sat stunned for a moment. Lita was the first to recover. Her hand left Kurt's and went over her tummy. "A girl?" She gave a light laugh and turned to Kurt. "We're having a girl." Tears brimmed her eyes and she smiled. The Doctor smiled, "Ill leave you alone for a moment." Kurt's hand covered Lita's over her stomach. "A girl…" He marveled. He used his other hand to wipe tears that threatened to fall. The reality was now complete. It didn't feel more real than it did at this moment. Kurt leaned his forehead against hers and whispered. "I don't care how she was conceived…I love her so much already. I'll always take care of her…and her mama." Lita nodded and moved her hand to the back of his neck. "I promise…I promise…she wont be like me…" Lita's tears fell in between them. "She'll be good…like her daddy." She whispered. She didn't realize she moved to kiss him until her mouth was already on his. Kurt didn't even think about it. He just went w/ it. This is was the mother of his child for God sakes. They both kissed with some sort of urgency that was between them. Then suddenly, it was over. And they were both left staring into each others eyes. Shocked and confused. Lita's mouth moved to speak but no words came out. Kurt's eyes darted around the room, trying to avoid eye contact. Lita finally spoke. "We should go…you have Smackdown…" "Yeah." They left…on the edge of something they didn't want to acknowledge.
