They all jumped. Lita held the gun over her head. A shocked gasp escaped her lips. Her mouth was slightly agape. At that last moment…she knew she couldn't do it. She just couldn't.
Kurt looked at Lita--her expression. He large sigh of relief escaped his lips. He moved to her and took the gun from her limp grip. He held it lamely at his side while his other hand pulled Lita into an embrace. Lita cried, holding tightly onto him. "Im so sorry." She said against his shirt. "I couldn't do it." She looked up frantically. "I couldn't do it--because I love you. So much…" Kurt kissed the top of her head. "Shhh. Its okay, babe. I knew you couldn't."
Chris watched the scene before him. What had just happened. All he knew was that he had Steph in a protective squeeze while she cried quietly. He put his hand on her shoulder and with his other, cupped her face. "Sweetie, are you okay?" Steph nodded. "Yeah…" He kissed her urgently. "If I lost you…" He confessed. Steph shook her head. "No, don't. Im okay. We both are." She hugged him tightly. "I--Im sorry." They both turned to Lita at the same time. She was looked at them and then away, ashamed. "So sorry…" Chris narrowed his eyes at her. "For what?! For lying to me…nearly killing Steph on our wedding day…for pointing a gun at us?!" Lita blinked back tears and nodded. "All of it. Im…so sorry." Kurt kissed her forehead and reassured her with whispered words. Chris laughed coldly. "Well, excuse me if I feel that's a huge pile of bullshit. You're trouble personified. And I feel so sorry for your baby--" "Hey!" Kurt looked at Chris. "Damn, man. Are you ready to crucify her yet?" Chris shrugged sarcastically. "Hey, whatever works…" Steph put her hand on Chris's chest. "Christopher…" She pleaded softly. Chris put his hands over hers. A gave it a small squeeze to reassure her. "I don't expect you to accept my apology…" Lita said softly. "Just know that it's there." Kurt kissed her temple . "I know you're sorry." He whispered. He turned to Stephanie and Chris. "Im sorry for what just went on…but as far as Im concerned--this never happened. Lita and I were never here." Chris stared at Kurt incredulously. "You cant be serious! She tried to kill Steph--" Steph gripped Chris's hand tighter. "Let them go, Chris. Lets just move on." Chris looked at Steph like she grew a new head. "You cant be serious." He said quietly. "I am." She whispered. While they talked in a whispered argument, they didn't see Lita and Kurt slip away.
"I don't know whether to yell at you or kiss you." Kurt said quietly. "A little of both will be fine…" Kurt tossed the gun into the canal before walking into the hotel. "Babe, what were you thinking?" Lita shrugged. "Revenge…" Kurt sighed. "Do you realize how close you came to murder just now." Lita covered her face in her hands. "Yes." Kurt grabbed her by the shoulders. "Don't you ever do that again. Don't risk the welfare of our child for the sake of your anger." They walked into the elevator. Lita pressed her forehead against the wall. "Even after I…decided I couldn't…I still wanted to kill her…kill them both." Kurt looked at her, horrified. "Lita…" She turned to him. "I still want them dead." Tears rolled down her face. "Stop talking like that." "Its true!" Kurt shook his head. "Lita, promise me--" "I wont kill them Kurt. For you and the baby I wont do it…" Her voice lowered to a whisper. "I think I need help." Kurt gathered her in his arms. "Then that's what we'll do. We'll get help. For the sake of our child." His hand moved over her stomach. Lita put her hand over his. She nodded. "And for us." Kurt looked down at her. He didn't care that Lita was trouble. He didn't care that she had done so much wrong. "I love you." He said quietly. "I love you too…" His lips caught hers and his hand caressed the side of her face. Lita's arms encircled him. "How did I get so lucky?" Kurt gave a half chuckle. "I don't know. I was wondering the same thing…"
"Am I imagining things or did you almost get killed a few hours ago?" Chris languidly ran his hands through Steph's hair. Steph rested her head on his bare chest and sighed lightly. "Yeah…I think you are, Chris." She said dryly. Chris looked down at the top of her head. "How can you be so nonchalant about this?" Steph looked up at him. "And how can you not? Im alive. Can we just leave it at that?" "No. We cant. If this happened on any other day you would have sent the bitch up the river. Yet…for some reason…today you didn't. Why--" "Why are you analyzing this?! Just leave it alone." "Did you do this for Kurt?" Steph looked away. Chris nodded. "You leave a psycho on the loose because the boy has a crush?! What in the he--" "Chris," She said lightly. "I know what its like to be in love…I know what its like to have that taken away from me. I didn't want that to happen to Kurt, no matter the circumstances. Lita looked genuinely sorry." Chris scoffed. "Maybe. Maybe not. Steph, look--" Steph moved up and moved her lips to his. Chris stilled and then gently kissed her back. Steph pulled away slowly and looked at him. "You're happy Im alive, right?" "God, yes. Stephanie Marie, you're my life." Steph kissed him again, this time with a slight intensity. "And you're mine…" She moved on top of him and cupped each side of his face. "Lets just live in the now…" She said in between kisses. "Love me now." Chris gave a slight chuckled and rolled over, pinning Steph under him. "Yes ma'am."
(A/N: When I first began this story, I knew exactly how I wanted to end it…but with all of the positive feedback that kept coming, I realized I couldn't. But just to let you know what this was supposed to be like let me set it up. Lita/Kurt & Steph/Chris were staying in the same hotel. Chris and Kurt bump into each other in the elevator. Chris attacks Kurt without giving him time to explain whats going on. While this is going on, Lita knocks on Steph's door and gets inside the hotel room--gun in hand. She shoves her out on the terrace where its raining. She's ready to kill her when he starts to think about Kurt and the baby and how much they mean to her:
Lita shakily held the gun in her grasp. "I…I cant do this she rasped. Steph' s eyes darted from the gun to Lita's face. The hard rain pelted on her and she shivered. Lita continued over the thunder. "I…I love Kurt now…I don't wanna hurt him…disappoint him." Steph nodded. "Kurt needs someone to love him…I think you can." Lita nodded. "I can." She looked at the gun. "This wont accomplish anything…"
Chris burst in loudly. "Lita!" He roared. Lita jumped. A deafening shot rang out. Steph blinked. She slowly looked down. Her hand slowly covered the growing bloodstain over her heart. Her eyes slowly went to Chris. She mouthed his name and collapsed. Chris stood stunned for a moment. Lita moaned. "Oh my God. Oh my God. I didn't mean…" Chris rushed to her. He snatched the gun out of her limp hand and fired. Lita was dead before she hit the ground. Chris ran to Steph and knelt at her side. "Stephanie? Stephanie!" He grabbed her and pulled her into his lap. "It'll be okay, baby. It'll be okay." He rocked her slowly. "I just need…we need…" His voice broke. "God!" He moved Stephanie's hair out of her face. Her eyes stared blankly at the sky. Chris put his head on her chest. "No no no. Stephanie, don't do this…don't!" He stopped rocking and looked at her again. He moved his hand and closed her eyes. He knew she was gone. Chris turned suddenly and picked up the gun at his side. He kissed Stephanie's lips, still warm. "Wait for me…"
Kurt heard the shot from the hallway and ran as fast as he could. It all felt like slow motion. He went into the only room with the door open. He looked around--no one. He could hear the rain and saw the terrace door was open. He was so scared…he didn't want to look…And when he did his eyes grew. "Lita!" He ran out on the terrace. He gathered her in his arms and carried her in the room. He grabbed the phone and called an ambulance. He had none the moment he saw her she was dead. His hand went to her stomach. "Don't leave me too…" He whispered. His eyes shot out to the terrace. Chris and Stephanie draped over each other, dead as well. He saw the gun in Chris's hand. He looked back at Lita…the wound at her temple. "Burn in hell, you son of a bitch. Burn in fucking hell."
Then that would have been the end--Chris seemed to have been the murderer of 2 divas--the gun powder on Lita's hands washed out with the rain. So Chris's memory and legacy was tarnished. Lita and Kurt's child would live, beginning life in an incubator. He would name her Lilith Marie.)
