Randy and Melissa finished their dinner and headed back to the hotel. Melissa slipped into her pajamas and snuggled with Randy, who had slipped on a pair of workout shorts, on the couch.
"So, can I ask you a question about the baby?" Randy asked while her rubbing her shoulders.
"Sure, go ahead."
"If I'm meddling too much, let me know, but is Trish adopting the baby due to the circumstances, or because you don't want the baby?" Randy asked hesitantly.
"No you're not meddling too much," Melissa said looking down. "Probably a little of both. I'm so scared. There are nights where I can't even sleep because I'm so worried. If Trish adopts the baby, then I can still be a part of it's life without being the mom. I can watch it grow up and become it's own being. This is going to sound selfish, but I want to finish growing up and pursuing my dreams. But, part of me says that I can raise a child and pursue my dreams at the same time, it's just going to be hard work and dedication. But then I start to doubt myself and it all goes back to why it's best that Trish adopts the baby."
Randy gave her a hug, "Well, I'll support you with whatever decision you decide to make."
Melissa looked at him with disbelief, "Really?"
"Yes really. I want you to always remember that." He said kissing her on the top of her head and hugging her.
"God how did I get so lucky?" She thought to herself.
The next day Trish woke up to a beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on the nightstand by her bed. She opened the card, "Hope these help to brighten your day. Good luck on going home and I'll call you tonight. –Brock"
Trish smiled, "He is so sweet." She knew that she wouldn't be going home until 11:00 a.m. and it was only 8:00 a.m.
Just as she was getting ready to buzz the doctor to find out her agenda, her room door opened and Melissa walked in. "You're up already?" Trish asked her.
"Yeah, Randy and I went our separate ways this morning" Melissa started to say when Trish cut her off.
"Oh honey come here, I'm so sorry to hear that. I knew that it would be a shock for him, but I didn't think." Trish started to ramble when Melissa interjected.
"As I was saying, Randy and I are went our separate ways this morning, so we could prepare for tonight. We're fine." She finished with a smile.
Trish's face lit up, "Really?!? That's great!! I'm so glad that it went ok."
"I told him the whole truth, no lying. And he was great! He told me that he would support me with any decision I make." Melissa said sitting down by her on the bed.
Trish hugged her." I am so happy for you! You guys look really cute together."
"Thanks, he is so wonderful! He'll look at me with those sparkling eyes and that dazzling smile, then he holds me in his strong arms, oh how I wish he'd just hold me forever and never let me go." Melissa cooed.
Trish squealed, "I am so happy for you!"
"Who sent you flowers?"
"Brock did. Last night, Dave came in and played cards with me until he had to fly home for rehab."
"How did that go?" Melissa asked in a skeptical tone.
"It went pretty good. We talked about his girls and the WWE product and a few other things." Trish replied.
"That's cool. Have you told mom and dad about the adoption yet?" Melissa asked.
"No, I thought that we could sit down and tell them together."
There was a knock on her door. Her doctor walked and greeted them happily. He took her vitals and looked at her, "How would you like to leave early?"
"That would be great!" Trish exclaimed.
"Go ahead and get ready and I'll be back in a little bit." And he left.
Trish slowly stood up and began to put her things away. "Still sore huh?" Melissa asked.
"Still and sore." Trish replied.
Soon the doctor was back and Trish signed her papers and they were on their way back to Toronto.
Trish's mom met them at the airport and drove them back to the house. When they got there, they got Trish comfortable on the couch and Melissa left to go and get her hair and makeup done.
Alison (Trish's mom) brought out some cold Crystal Light and sat down by Trish, "How are you doing?"
"Stiff and sore. How are you?" Trish replied.
"Patricia Anne Stratigas now you know that's not what I meant. How are you doing emotionally? Her mom asked.
"I'm hanging in there. I've learned that by talking to Melissa and Dave, it's helped me to not hold a grudge anymore. It's the cancer thing that is throwing me for a loop." Trish said with sadness in her eyes.
"Tell me what you're feeling." Alison said to her. She knew that Trish always felt better after she opened up.
"I feel like I'm not a complete woman. What man is ever going to want to be with, let alone marry a girl like me? I can't even bear him children, what good am I?" Trish said with tears streaming down her face.
Trish's mom sat beside her and held her, "Trish, you can tell them that you had cancer and you beat it. You are a survivor, and that's all that matters. It is perfectly ok to not have children. But if you want a child, you can always adopt."
Trish chuckled a little, "That's what Brock said."
"So, you and Brock are still close friends?" Her mom said to her with a smile.
"Yes we are still friends." Trish said rolling her eyes. "I feel awful because when Brock was at the hospital with me, him and Nicole broke up. Well I've been so wrapped up in my own problems, I haven't even stopped and asked him how he's doing. I have to call him." Trish said reaching for her cell phone.
He answered on the 3rd ring, "Hello sexy!"
"Can you ever forgive me?" Trish asked immediately.
"Forgive you for what?"
"I've been such an awful friend. You and Nicole broke up and all I do is cry to you about not being a whole woman anymore. I'm so awful, will you forgive me?"
Brock rolled his eyes, "Hon, cancer is a bigger thing than a break up. It's ok."
"No it's not just ok, I owe you dinner and drinks. When are you available?"
"Whoa, slow down. You're still on pain meds, you can't drink."
"Tonight is my last dose. Then it's just Advil if I'm sore." Trish replied and stuck her tongue out at the phone.
"Alright, give me two days and I'll be at your house."
"It's a date. Have a good night studly." Trish said.
"You too." And they hung up.
Melissa slipped in the back door and ran up the stairs to her room. Both Trish and Alison laughed. "It's so hard to believe that she's a senior this year. She'll be 18 in a month, my little sis is growing up." Trish said acting like she was going to cry.
"I know, didn't time fly?" Alison said.
The two of them sat and talked some more and by the time they were done, Trish felt a lot better. The doorbell rang and Trish answered the door, and there stood Randy. He was wearing a black tux with a white shirt and red and black vest. He looked damn fine. He was standing there with Melissa's corsage in his hands, "Is Melissa here?"
Trish squealed and invited him in. She introduced him to her mom and hollered for Melissa. Melissa walked down the stairs in a beautiful red dress with silver sparkles and silver shoes. She had her brown hair in a curly up do and her make up was just perfect. The dress hid her budding tummy just right. She smiled and Randy's heart melted. "Melissa you look beautiful." Randy said to her giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Trish grabbed the camera and got pictures of Melissa pinning the boutonniere on Randy and Randy slipping on her corsage. The she got pics of them with her and with their mom. Then the two of them together outside by the big pretty tree in the back yard and by the limo.
Just as they were about to leave, Trish grabbed Melissa by the arm, "You are going to knock everyone dead. I'm not going home so you'll have the house all to yourself. Have a great night."
Trish and Alison waved and watched the limo pull away. They walked back into the house together to find something for dinner.
**Sorry it's short, but work has been crazy!! Please continue to read and review! Next chapter is regarding Trish's date with Brock!! Thanks!**
