More Than Just Friends

"Kurt, you a sleep?"

"No. I have been laying here with my eyes closed this whole time. Yes, Steph, I WAS a sleep."

Stephanie died laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing but I haven't heard you smart mouth me in a long time. I missed that. You used to have a smart-ass comment for just about everything I would say to you. I really hated that at first but then learned to love it. That is what made you Kurt Angle."

"Well I am Kurt Angle so I guess you are right. Now is there a reason you woke me up or can I go back to sleep now? I was having a wonderful dream about Torrie Wilson naked on the beach."

"Kurt! I didn't want to know that. Besides, I didn't think you thought about any other women besides…

"I don't and please don't say her name. I was just screwing with you. I wanted to see what you would say."

"Sorry I didn't mean to get you thinking. Look, there is a reason I woke you."

"Well…"

"What if I told you I was in love with someone?"

Kurt looked at Stephanie a little confused and then a huge smile crept across his face. He propped his head up on his pillow.

"I would say he was insane."

"Very funny! I mean it Kurt would you be happy for me?"

"Of course I would. There is nothing I want to see more than you and Dwayne to find someone and be happy. Wait a second its D isn't it? Oh my god you have the hots for Dwayne don't you?"

NO! I can't tell you who it is?"

"Then it has to be Dwayne or you would tell me. You don't hide anything from me. I am an Olympic gold medallist you know. You don't have to hide things from heroes."

Just as soon as Kurt finished his sentence she couldn't take anymore. He was acting like his old self again. She hadn't heard his I'm an Olympic gold medallist phrase in a very long time.

"Kurt, you sure have been acting like yourself again here lately."

Kurt just looked off towards the window and changed the subject.

"Come on, boobs, tell me who it is."

"I sure as hell aren't going to tell you now. Not after you called me boobs."

"Aw, did I hurt the billion dollar princess' feelings? Kurtie Poo sure is sorry."

"It's you, Kurt. I am in love with you."

Oh god did she really just say that? Oh well it was too late to be taking back now.

Kurt smiled that beautiful million-dollar smile. She hadn't seen his beautiful pearly whites in a very long time. He didn't say anything but much to her surprise kissed her. She almost died. His lips were so soft yet rough at the same time. He wasn't being forceful at all but sweet and passionate.

"I already told you that I loved you." He said sweetly. "Steph, I couldn't help but love you. You were always here for me and just when I thought I was alone there you would be. I know this is my first night away from the hospital but I feel like you are the reason I have to live everyday. You are the reason I have to be strong and try to focus on what's important in life."

Stephanie had tears running down her face. Kurt gently wiped he tears away and kissed her nose where they had been falling to. Stephanie laid her head on his chest. She couldn't believe he had just old her that. How long had he felt that way? Was he ever going to tell her if she didn't? Oh well at least she knows the truth now and maybe this will be what he needs to get through this.

****15 moths later***

"Push, Stephanie. Come on honey I know you can do it." Kurt said to his wife.

Dwayne and his girlfriend, Rachel Ann, (I figured you wouldn't mind Rachel) were standing outside the room waiting and anticipating.

"Kurt, I can't do it anymore I am in to much pain. Please god make it stop. You son of a bitch this is all your fault!"

"Focus, baby. Come on your almost there. Here we go ready? 1, 2, 3…"

"AWWWWWWWW! Oh God make it stop. AWWWWW!" Her breathing relaxed some and tears started running down her face.

"You did it, honey. Oh good he's beautiful."

The doctor smiled and placed the newborn baby boy in his mother's arms.

"He has your eyes, Kurt. Look at those beautiful blue eyes."

Kurt was smiling from ear to ear. He kissed his son on his forehead and then kissed his wife.

"I love you, Stephanie"

"I love you too, Kurt."
