Note: I own no one in this story, not a single sole, so don't bother with any kind of legal action cause the only thing you'll get out of it is nothing, you can have my sister if ya want. She can be your house keeper and all, but she's kinda lazy so I don't know how that would work out.

The mail was sitting on his desk from early this afternoon, but with all these damn meetings Vince hadn't the time to go through it. "Mr. McMahon, I'm leaving for the day is there anything else you need before I go" Sandie his secretary asked from the doorway of his office. "Umm, No I believe everything is fine, Thanks." Vince said looking through his mail. "All right, Have a nice night" She said leaving. "Yeah, ok" Vince said looking at this letter that was addressed from Chicago, but it had no name. Normally he would throw something like this out, some how fan mail always got mixed in with the business letters, but being the curious person he was.

It's been four years or has it been five already. He slowly opened the letter and sat back. After he finished reading it he lowered his sighed, and shook his head, he put the letter in the top drawer of his desk. His head all of a sudden hurt and his stomach was in knots, and he felt physically ill. He stood up and looked out the giant wall window, where he could see across the town, wishing he was somewhere else and somebody else. Deep in his thoughts he failed to notice Linda walk into his office and sit on the corner of his desk sifting through the rest of his mail. "What's wrong Vince?" She asked tossing the mail back on his desk. "Vince the building's burning down" She said before he realized she was sitting there. "Oh nothing, I didn't hear you come in. And what makes you think something is wrong?" he asked turning around and collecting the few papers he needed to bring home. "I don't know, maybe it's because your staring out a window and your totally oblivious to what's going on around you, the whole town could be a blaze and I think you would hardly notice" she said standing up and walking out the door with Vince following behind her. "Nah, I was just thinking about something. Business with these companies that want to advertise with us and all that, nothing important really" he said as they stepped into the elevator.

The ride home was silent, Linda glanced over at him a few times and from the empty expression on his face she knew something was bothering him, but she knew better not to push him, he would tell her by the end of the night she was sure of it.

After dinner Linda sat on the couch reading over some papers she had gotten right before she left her office. The phone rang and she knew Vince was up in the shower so she got up and answered it. "Hello" "Hey Mom" Steph chirped from the other end. "Steph, How are things in L.A?" Linda asked sitting back down on the couch. "Things are great here, I had some free time, so I thought I would call and see how things are going there and to see how you and dad are." "Busy as usual, we're working on getting new talent in, nothing really special. How's everyone there? No problems I'm hoping" Linda asked. "No, everyone here is fine; everyone is at the arena now getting ready for the Smack down taping. Shane and Marissa said Hi and that they'd be in sometime tomorrow afternoon" Vince was coming down the stairs, and Linda wanted to make sure she was free to talk to him "Steph, I have to go, Call me tomorrow at the office" "Yeah, Ok, Mom, I'll talk to you later, love you," Steph said hanging up.

Linda hung up the phone and tossed it to her side. Vince walked through the room. He stopped as if he wanted to say something but kept on going into the kitchen. "Vince, Is there something you want to talk about?" She called out to him. Vince paced back and forth in the kitchen, How am I going to talk to her about this, I broke a promise. How will she trust me after this? He thought as he pushed his wet hair back off his face. I have to do this, I can't hold this back, she can read me like a book, she knows something's wrong, She's just waiting me out. He thought as he watched Linda from the doorway of the kitchen. Inside he was going crazy, this information he now knew was driving him insane, it could ruin him and his family. I can't wait any longer; I can't hold back any more it's not fair. I'm going to crack and die if I don't say something now, "Who was that on the phone?" he asked as he walked and sat in a chair next to her. "That was Steph calling from L.A" "Is everything ok?" he asked rubbing his hands together. "Everything is fine," she said still looking through the papers. "Yeah good, Umm Lin, We need to talk" he said nervously. This is what Linda was waiting for, but she really didn't like the nervousness in his voice, it creped her out. She put her papers down and folded her hands on her lap. "That doesn't sound good. What about?" She asked "All right, this has made me sick all day. Back when I was. You know when I.....Oh Dammit this is hard. Ok, back when I was unfaithful, when I made mistakes" "I don't know where this is going but I really don't like the start of it," Linda said. "Neither do I" Vince snapped. "Well that response doesn't really help, what is wrong" Linda asked. "All right I'll be straight forward here it is, after I ended everything after I told you and we were working it all out, another problem came along, about nine months later," Vince said looking at the ground. "I would never mean for this to happen and I would never mean to hurt you, but I found out through a letter, never face to face with the woman." "Vince wait, hold on. Are you telling me, that there is a child involved in this?" Linda asked a little aggravated by this. "Yeah, unfortunately there is" He said still looking at the ground. "And you decide to tell me now. What happened to you saying no more secrets? How the hell could you keep something like this a secret and not tell till years later? Any more secrets you want to tell me?" Linda demanded to know. "No, I'm sorry, but for the love of God, will you listen to me and let me finish before you get even madder" Vince said standing up. "Now, Like I said. I never meant for this to happen" "I'm sure you didn't but it did and you held this back from me, I thought you changed when you said everything would be straight forward, there would be no more lies" Linda snapped at him. "Listen to me Dammit found through a letter, after the baby was born. The woman said she didn't want to cause any more trouble and that it was a mistake in the first place." "So why all of a sudden now? Change of heart? Guilt getting to you?" Linda asked. "I got a letter in the mail today; she died of cancer two days ago." Vince said sitting down. "I'm sorry about that I truly am, but this is unbelievable. This really takes the cake for things you've done. You of all people who preach's about speaking only the truth" she yelled, she hadn't meant to, but it just kinda happened, but she had every right to be mad after all did you hear what he was saying to her. "I know it was a horrible mistake, but I'm not God, I make mistakes and I have to live with them. I've had to live with this one for some time, believe me its not fun hiding a secret like that, I wanted to tell you but I didn't want to chance it" Vince said. "Chance what?" "Taking the chance of you walking out on me, I don't believe I could handle it" he said looking at her with honesty in his eyes. "I'm still very pissed off about this, but" she sighed "I can see you are very upset about this and I know it was truly a mistake and you had good intentions by not telling anyone. I don't even want to talk to you, but I will, I don't know why but I will. Out of all the things I do hope you did what was right? "I did. I would see her every other weekend for a few hours." "I can't believe I never picked up on this, I feel so betrayed, so icky. But I have to ask what going to happen now?" She asked starting to feel sorry for this situation he put himself in, but she felt bad, for he did see the error in his ways and he was truly sorry for what he did. She hated herself for always giving into him, she should walk out on him right now, but she knew she couldn't. Dammit, this was not her fault, why was she feeling bad. Cause she loved him and always found forgiveness, for even the stupid things he did. "I don't know," he said running his hands through his hair," I just don't know" Linda let him think about it for a moment and had to think herself. What she was about to say could change every thing. She couldn't believe she was going to say this, "You have to get this child and finish raising her, She half yours. It would be the right things to do, In fact" she sighed "it's what I want you to do." She said not really sure of anything, but tried to be supportive. "I don't know" Vince said shaking his head. "No its not, I don't know Vince, This is what you have to do. Listen to the words coming out of my mouth. Finish what you started. I'm going to let you think about this cause this is your decision. I'm going to bed this has turned into a long day" She got up and walked over to him. She kissed him on his forehead. "I'll always love you, even trough all your faults"

Vince smiled "Till the day I die, I'll love you, I swear to it. And I never meant to hurt you in any way." Linda went up stairs and Vince sat sitting there thinking, wondering what he should do now. No matter what, things would not be the same; there would always be that something that would hang over him like a bad storm.
