Well I don't really know to start explaining this. But I guess I will start with the beginning. This all started about 10 years ago. I was a senior in high school and I couldn't wait to graduate.
I had a girlfriend her name was Nikki. I really loved her but our relationship become distant out senior year. After high school we were going to end our relationship. We were both going to different colleges and going our separate ways. I was going to Boston university and She was going to UCONN. We both thought it was best to split. We were both going in very separate direction. Nikki was going to be a nurse and I of course was going into the family business.
I was very excited to go into the family business. That all changed though one day. About a month before graduation I got a call from Nikki. She was hysterical and I didn't know why. "Nikki, hello what's wrong?" "Why are you crying?" I could never be prepared for what she was about to say. "Shane I don't know how to tell you this". "Shane... I'm pregnant". With that Nikki's sobs became very loud again.
I was in shock I couldn't believe. All I kept thinking is she must be kidding. Nikki must be playing a cruel joke. Then I thought she was saying this so we could stay
together.
"Nikki, are you sure?" "Yes I just took the test." "Oh God Shane, what am I going to". "Nikki I don't know what to do myself". "I mean I'm 18 years old and I'm having a child". All I kept thinking is this must be some kind of nightmare. How am I going to tell my parents? We they disown me when I tell them. All I knew was I was going to take care of this child. I was responsible for it being here. "Nikki don't worry I will take care of this child".
"Oh Shane I knew you would". "It's just were only 18 and we were going to break-up and now there is a child in the picture. "I know Shane". "Shane, when I saw the test I thought I was dreaming". "I thought maybe I would wake up and none of this would be true". "Oh how I wish Shane this wasn't true". "Nikki we will get though this, don't worry". "Nikki you seem till hysterical you want me to come over". "No it's okay it's probably best you don't come over". "I have to go
tell my parents now". "Oh okay well I guess I'll talk to you later". "Thanks Shane, bye".
When I hung up the phone, I thought about my own parents. How was I going to tell them? How does a 18 year old tell there parents he got his girlfriend pregnant? One minute ago I was the happiest person. I was thinking about college and finally getting into wrestling. Now I find out that could all change. I never knew your life could be destroyed in a matter of minutes. All I could think is how much my
parents would be ashamed of me.
I knew the only I could tell other than my parents was Stephanie. Ever since we were little we could tell each other anything.
Growing up I was the person who sorta raised her. When I was younger my parents weren't around much. When they were around we were usually sleeping or at school. So I had to be like a dad for Stephanie. I would help her with her homework, make sure she read a story before bed. I don't blame my parents at all for not being around. They were trying to put food on the table. I decided that I couldn't tell my parents. I had to tell Steph.
I had been sitting in my room and called out "Steph". No sooner did I hear "what?" and she was in my doorway. "Come here I have to tell you something". "Is mom or dad around?" Steph shook her head, "no, what is it you have to tell me?" "Shane don't tell me you failed one of your classes". "No, no, it's not that". "Look do you promise not to tell mom and dad".
"Yes, what is it?" "Well.. I don't really know how to tell you this". "You know Nikki?" "Yes, your girlfriend but you two are breaking-up". Shane nodded, "well she called me today and told me that she's pregnant". "Oh my God Shane you have got to be kidding".
"Real good joke you had me there". "No I am not kidding". "You got Nikki pregnant?" "I thought she was lying at first too". "I thought she was saying that so I would stay with her". "But no it's true". "Shane, how are you going to tell mom and dad?" "I don't know, Steph". "How do you tell your parents when your 18 that their going to be grandparent?" "Shane you do have to tell them".
"I'm afraid they will disown me". "You know they wouldn't do that". "Well mom wouldn't but dad might". "Shane I think the sooner you tell them the better it will
be".
"Steph I have got to figure out a plan". "Maybe there is a way to keep this a secret". "Shane, what are you thinking?" "What if Nikki raised the child and I send money every month".
"Shane that really isn't fair to her thought". "This is your child too". "Do you really want to do that?" "Shane don't you want to see your child grow-up". "See the child's first steps and hear the first words the child says". "Steph, I have to do this". "Shane, where are you going to get the money to send this child?"
"That's where mom is going to help". "I will go to college for 4 years and when I get out I will work for WWE". "After I start working there I will continue to pay Nikki and pay back mom". "That's crazy. Dad will wonder why mom is paying Nikki 1,000 or whatever to Nikki ever month". "No mom can just open a secret account and put money in there". "Then when it's time to pay Nikki withdraw from that account".
"Steph no one will ever know, trust me". "Plus mom does the bills and dad never pays attention to money being spent". "Shane don't you think mom keeping this secret from dad, will be hard for her". "You know how mom is when she keeps a secret". "You can tell something is wrong with her right away".
"Shane don't you think dad will pick-up of that". "They know each other like a book, Shane you know that". "Stephanie, mom will be able to keep the secret, trust me". "Shane you don't even know if mom is going to agree with this". "What if she doesn't agree and tells dad". "Steph I guess I'm taking a chance".
"I don't know what the use of keeping this a secret is". "No matter what this is going to come out eventually". "Steph, I just don't want to tell dad". "Shane if mom agrees with this I will be very surprised". "When are you going to tell mom?" "I think when she comes home". "Mom should be home in a hour and dad of course is in Florida on business". "Okay so that gives me in hour to think about what to say to mom".
"Shane I'm going to leave". "I just want you to know that I am here for you and I love you". "Thanks Steph, I love you too". Stephanie left and Shane started to think. That seemed like the quickest hour before I knew it, I could hear my mom. "Hello I'm home". When I heard her voice I could feel knots in my stomach. This was it I had to tell her now. I walked out of my room and down the stairs.
When I got there I saw my mom sorting though the mail. Her usual few words "bills, bills, junk mail, bills". "Hi mom I see your looking though the mail". Ever since I was little my mom would sort though the mail and say that. "Hi Shane, how was your day?" "It was good, how was your day?" "It was good, thanks, the usual craziness". "Mom I have to tell you something". Linda had a concerned look on
her face. She didn't like the looks her son was giving her. "What about, honey?" "Is something wrong?"
"Well.. maybe you should sit down for this". Linda headed to the couch and Shane followed. "This must be bad if your making me sit down". "Okay well Nikki called me today". "She told me that their was something she had to tell me". "Oh mom I don't know how to tell you this". "Shane it's okay, you know you can tell me anything". "Nikki told me that she was pregnant".
Linda couldn't believe it, was she hearing right? "Shane Brandon McMahon, is this some cruel joke? Shane put his head down and then looked up again. "No this is no joke, I wish it was". Linda was in shock, how could this be? Her son was only 18 and he was having a child. Linda still considered her son to still be her little boy.
"This can't be happening, Shane". "Your going to be a father?" "You have your whole life ahead of you and your having a child". "Mom I was shocked when I heard it too". "I thought Nikki was joking". "I thought maybe she was saying this so we would stay together". "Oh mom I'm so scared what am I going to do?" Linda tried to stay strong for her son. She knew that this child was going to change Shane's life. Linda wanted grandkids but not this soon. All of a sudden Linda felt
angry. How could her son do this to himself? "Shane how could you do this?" "What were you thinking?" "Didn't me and your father teach you better". "I can't believe you could be so immature". "I can't believe this I am so disappointed in you". With that Linda just walked out. Shane was shocked he couldn't believe it, he had never seen his mom like this.
