"What?!" Trish exclaimed. I looked up at her with tears in my eyes.

"I think I'm pregnant," I said I started to cry. Trish sat next to me rubbed my shoulders.

"Shane? Aren't you on the pill or something?" she asked skeptically.

"No. But we use condoms most of the time. Actually, all but one time. He was giving me a back rub and we just got into it. So using a condom never crossed our minds. I'm so scared," said.

"Oh Casey, it's gonna be alright," Nora said kneeling in front of me.

"How? I have probably just fucked up my whole life!" I said.

"How? You could be having a baby with the man you love. How is it really that bad?" Nora asked as she took my hands.

"I can't wrestle, maybe Shane doesn't want a kid, and I'm not ready to be a mother."

"Have you told Shane?" Trish asked.

"No, I'm too scared."

"You're gonna have to tell him soon and get tested. He needs to face the responsibility too," Nora said.

"I can't. I don't want him to break up with me."

"I don't think he will. He loves you too much for that to happen. But you need to get tested right away to make sure. Cause if you are, you need to tell Vince and stop wrestling for a while," Trish said.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jeff asked walking in the room.

"Nothing," I said as I dried my tears.

"You're crying. There's something wrong. Come on, let's go talk," he said pulling me to my feet. He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked out of the locker room. We walked into a smaller room that was used for equipment and sat on the floor. "Now tell me what's wrong."

"I can't."

"Yes you can."

"Jeff, trust me. I can't."

"You can always tell me anything. It's not like you're gonna tell me your pregnant or something," he laughed as I looked at him shocked. "You...you're not....right?!"

"I think I might be," I said.

"Shane's?"

"Of course Shane's. I haven't had sex with anyone else!" I exclaimed a little angry.

"I know, I'm sorry. Have you said anything to him about this?"

"No, I'm not even sure that I am."

"But there's a possibility?"

"Yeah, there's a possibility."

"Let's go to a store and get you a test," Jeff said as we stood. He grabbed my hand and we walked to our locker rooms to grab our stuff. Then we headed off to a Rite Aid. Jeff held my hand the whole time as I picked up a pregnancy test.

"So?" he asked as I sat on his hotel bed.

"I don't know. We have to wait a little while," I said as I started to cry again. He wrapped his arms around me and held me close.

"Casey, I'm so sorry," he said as he stroked.

"Why are you sorry? You're not the idiot that's pregnant."

"I'm just sorry that you're goin through this whole situation."

"Well, you're with me, so that makes it all better."

"I'll always be with you," he said as I got up. I walked into the bathroom and looked at the test.

"Fuck!" I screamed. He ran into the bathroom and saw me sitting on the floor with my knees tucked under my chin, crying and rocking back and forth.

"No," he said. "No, this is wrong."

"I'm pregnant!" I yelled as he held me tightly.

"We're goin to tell Shane....NOW!" he said lifting me to my feet.

"I can't. I just can't," I said.

"Yes you can." He pulled me to my hotel room and kissed my check before pushing me inside.

"Hey baby," Shane said looking up at me from his lap top. I looked at him with my eyes red and my cheeks tear stained. "Oh shit. What's wrong?"

"Shane, I have something to tell you," I said as I walked over to him. I took his hands in mine.

"Your mother. She's back isn't she?" he asked.

"No. No she's not. Not that I'm aware of."

"Oh, then what's got you so upset?" he asked tilting his head to the side.

"You know how I've been sick lately?" He nodded his head and I took a deep breath before continuing. "Okay, you remember that nite when you gave me a back rub and it went too far?"

"Oh boy do I ever," he said with a smile.

"I think I'm pregnant. So I took a test and it came up positive.

"What?!"

"Shane, you're gonna be a father," I said.

"I'm what?"

"I understand if you don't wanna be with me. I understand if you don't want to worry about all this responsibility. It's fine if you want to just turn around and leave me, I completely understand."

"Whoa! Case, babe, my angel. I love you. It's just as much my responsibility as yours and I plan to be there with you every step of the way. Sure, I always wanted kids, but I never expected them this early. I don't know. I'm excited though. And first thing in the morning we are goin to the hospital and getting you tested for real. There's always that chance that you're not pregnant," Shane said embracing me in a hug.

"Really? You're not mad?" I asked as we pulled away.

"No, why should I be?"

"I love you," I said as he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I love you too."



"I'M NOT PREGNANT!!!" I exclaimed happily as I ran out of an examination room and into the waiting room.

"WHAT?!" Shane exclaimed as I jumped into his arms.

"We're not gonna have a kid!!" I said with large smile as he swung me around. I kissed his lips passionately.

"I thought..."

"Yeah, so did I. But the test was wrong. It was just a stomach virus. I'm fine. We're not gonna have a baby," I said as I began to cry tears of joy.

"Wow. This was such a scare. I mean, I would have accepted the baby with open arms. But I'm relieved that we're not gonna have a kid," Shane said.

"And I'm on the pill now. I figured it'll give us that extra protection if something like that nite ever happens again," I said as we walked out of the hospital with my prescription in my hand.

"That's good thinking. Let's get that filled. God, you don't know how happy I am," he said as we drove to the Rite Aid.



"Well?" Jeff asked as I walked into his room.

"Not only am I NOT pregnant, I'm also on the pill!" I said as he picked me up in his arms.

"I'm so glad to hear that!" he said.

"Believe me when I say me too!" I laughed.

"Told anyone else?" he asked as he placed me on the ground.

"Nope, only you and Shane know," I said with a smile.

"Trish is really worried. Go tell her as soon as possible."

"I'm actually on my way to her room now. I just had to tell you first. You are my big brother after all," I said punching his shoulder playfully as my cell rang. "Hello?"

"What the hell do I hear about you being pregnant?!" Mark exclaimed.

"Hi Dad," I said innocently. 'Mark' I mouthed to Jeff and he nodded with a smile.

"Don't hi dad me! Now, tell me what the hell Matt Hardy was talking about," he demanded.

"I thought I might have been. But I'm not. It was just a stomach virus. No worries," I said.

"It better have been just a stomach virus. I would have had to ring Shane's neck for this," he said.

"No you wouldn't have," I said with a laugh.

"Casey, I'm not joking. I would have killed him," he said sternly.

"But Dad, it would have been just as much my fault as his," I said.

"I know, but I can't get mad at you," he said.

"Well, you don't need to be mad at all. It was just a stomach virus," I said.

"Alright, then I'll let you go. Kalista needs to be changed," he said.

"The Undertaker changing a diaper. How whacked is that?!" I laughed.

"Haha, very funny," he said.

"I love you Dad."

"Love you too."

"That is whacked," Jeff said as I hung up.

"What is?"

"That the undertaker is changing a diaper," Jeff laughed.

"I know," I said as my phone rang again. "Jesus, what is this, let's call Casey day?! Hello?"

"Please tell me my brother was on crack when he called me last nite telling me you were pregnant," Matt said.

"No, he wasn't on crack."

"You're pregnant?!" Matt yelled. "God Case. I thought you were smarter than that! Hell, I thought Shane was smarter than that!"

"I was pregnant," I said seriously.

"What the hell are you guys thi.....wait...was? How the hell does that work?"

"It doesn't.....well....not really," I laughed.

"Casey, tell me what the hell is goin on," Matt said.

"I'm not pregnant."

"Then why did Jeff tell me that you were?"

"Because last nite we all thought I was."

"And some how it's gone today? Sorry Case, but it doesn't work that way."

"No, Matt, listen. I took a home pregnancy test last nite and it came up positive. Then Shane made me go to the hospital to get a professional one done and it was negative. So, it's all good."

"Oh thank God! I was really worried for a second there."

"I know, so were the rest of us!" I laughed.

"I hope you've gotten yourself some other type of protection," he said.

"Don't worry Matt. Everything is perfectly fine," I said.

"Good, I gotta go get ready for the show now. I'll talk to you later. I love you kid," Matt said.

"I love you too," I said before we hung up. "YOU TOLD MATT?!"

"Well, he is your brother too!" Jeff argued.

"Gees, why do I even bother telling you stuff Jeff?"

"I thought he should know. He's family. He loves you just as much as I do!"

"Whatever! I'm goin to Trish's room now. Bye Jeff," I said storming off.

"Case! Oh my God, what happened this morning?" Trish asked letting me into her room.

"Well, I'm not gonna have a baby and I'm on the pill. So, it's all good!" I said with a smile.

"That's so good to hear!" she said hugging me.

"Everything's fine?" Nora said walking out of the bathroom.

"YEP!" I exclaimed.

"That's excellent!" Nora said as she ran to me and giving me a hug.

"I know. Shane and I are all excited about it too!" I smiled.

"I'm sure you guys are. Ya know, Amy was pretty upset that you never told her something was wrong. I told her everything though, I hope that was alright," Trish said.

"I suppose so. But I really didn't want it getting out. Oh well, I'll have to go tell her everything is okay," I said walking out the door and to Amy's room.

"Hey girl!" she said giving me a hug. "Jeff just told me everything's okay."

"Jesus, that boy has a big mouth! I was just coming to tell you that everything was okay," I said.

"He means well," Amy said.

"I know, but sometimes he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. But anyways, I just came to tell you all that. I gotta get some training in," I said.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later," she said. I waved to her and went down to the hotel gym to get a couple hours of workout time.



"I'll be right back, I just had to tell Vince that I think the story line that he's got me in is excellent," I said jumping out of the car and running into the building. I rode the elevator up and walked down the hall to Vince's office. The secretary wasn't there so I just walked in.

"Ma'am, she's more my daughter than she'll ever be yours!" Mark yelled. I stood in the doorway shocked and surprised.

"She will always be my daughter and I want her back. I'm not leaving here without her this time," my mother yelled back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked walking the room and towards Mark.

"Darlin, leave, now. Go to Shane," he said trying to push me away.

"No, I'm gonna end this once and for all!" I yelled.

"Casey, I think we have it all covered," Vince said.

"Casey, come on. You're going home," my mom said grabbing my arm. I ripped it out of her hand and stood planted next to Mark who put his arm around me.

"No. I'm not leaving with you EVER!" I yelled.

"Yes you are. You are getting rid of all that shit in your hair," she said getting in my face.

"No I'm not. My home is in North Carolina. Not in Maine. My home will never be Maine. You are no longer my mother. And never really were!" I yelled.

"Come on now! We're going!" she yelled.

"You're not taking her anywhere's," Adam said walking into the room.

"Adam, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Helping you I would say," Adam said giving off his award winning smile.

"And who the hell are you?!" my mother exclaimed.

"I'm one of her trainers," he said.

"Yeah, I see you did a fine job of that!" she exclaimed pointing to my stitches.

"It happens in this business. You can't avoid injuries!" Mark yelled.

"Adam is one of our best wrestlers. He trained her to the best of his abilities. She's still learning, training almost everyday," Vince said.

"And loving every painful moment!" I yelled.

"And I'm not gonna let you take someone I call my sister away," Adam said.

"You can't stop me," my mother smiled.

"You wanna bet?" Adam and Mark said in unison.

"Can't you see that I'm wanted here? That I'm more loved here than I've ever been? Why can't you just leave me alone?!" I yelled.

"You're my daughter. You belong at home with your parents," she said.

"Mark is my father. I love him so much. Sara's my mother figure. And I have a wonderful baby sister that I love with all my heart. Kalista Love," I said.

"He is not your father," she said.

"Like hell I'm not! I have loved her since the moment I met her. She's always been my little girl and always will be."

"Mark told me something that you've never said. Hell, he tells me a couple things that you've never said to me! He's told me he loves me more times than I can count and he's told me that he's proud of me. Not once have you ever done that!"

"We're all proud of her. Everyone of us guys," Adam said standing behind me and putting his hands on my shoulders.

"I can't believe this. You would go against your own mother?" she said shocked.

"If it meant my happiness then yes. And this is all about my happiness. I have never been so happy before in my life than how happy I am here," I said sternly.

"This is bull shit. Complete bull shit. You have brain washed her or something!"

"Ma'am I have done no such thing. This is all up to her. She could have gone back home to you, but she didn't. She chose to be here. And I'd expect you to be behind her 100%," Vince said stepping between my mother and I.

"Judy, leave. Now. I don't want to see you again. And in the chance of that happening, I'll be the one coming to you," I said moving in front of her. My mother just stared at me, eyes blinking furiously.

"I think you heard her. She told you to leave," Adam said.

"Bull shit, complete bull shit!" my mother yelled as she walked out the door and passed Shane.

"What the hell? Casey, are you alright?" he said running in and wrapping his arms around me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just got rid of some excess baggage," I said with a smile.

"Oh, gees. I knew it was taking you just too long to do what you had to do," he said kissing my cheek.

"I'm fine, thanks to the help of Dad, Adam, and Vince," I said looking at each of them.

"It was no problem Darlin. I would never let them take you away from me, Sara, and K," he said kissing the top of my head.

"And you are my sister. You really are the sister I never had. And I mean I do have to share you with like the whole roster, but I don't care. You'll always be a part of my life. I can't even imagine not having your smile shining when I see you. I can't imagine not being able to look into those blue eyes you have. I loved training you. You pull off that spear better than me some nites," Adam said as I started to blush. "I'd miss you're wild and crazy hair and listening to music with you whenever we're together."

"Awe, Adam, that's so sweet of you. I love you man!" I said hugging him tightly.

"I love you too," he said kissing the top of my head.

"And Vince, thank you for standing up for me. You could have told her to take me cause I'm too much trouble or something. But you didn't," I said.

"I could never do that to you or my superstars. You don't deserve that family. You belong in this one!" he said ruffling my hair.

"Ready to go to Boston?" Shane asked taking my hand.

"Yeah....oh! Vince, I came up here to tell you that I can't wait to start this new story line. Should be very interesting!" I said with a smile.

"I had a feeling you might like it! You'd better get going. You should get some training time in with all your trainers!" Vince laughed.

"Right! I'll be right behind you guys," Adam said with a smile as Shane and I walked out the door.

"What's this story line she's talking about?" Mark asked.

"You'll see. I have a feeling it's gonna change a lot of things," Vince laughed.
