3 MONTHS LATER
Trish was so excited, tonight she was going out on a ladies night. She was going out with Stacy Kiebler, Torrie Wilson, Lillian Garcia, Amy Dumas, and Stephanie McMahon. She had talked to them sparatically, but not in a little while.
She put on a simple spaghetti-strapped black dress, threw on a big silver belt to hang loosely around her waist, she curled her hair and made sure her make-up was just right. She had been off of the radiation for almost 2 months, but her skin tone still wasn't back to normal yet.
She heard the doorbell ring and she heard Melissa head towards the door. Melissa was now 6 and a half months pregnant, and she was definitely showing. She was going to have a big boy.
Melissa opened the door, and Stacy was standing there. "Hi! Is Trish ready yet?"
Melissa smiled, Stacy was one of Trish's closest friends, and they had gotten to know each other pretty well, "Almost, come on in."
"Wow, you look so good, can I touch him?" Stacy said motioning to Melissa's tummy.
"Go ahead." Melissa said with a laugh.
Trish came out of the bathroom and peered over the stairs, "Hey girl!"
Stacy looked up, "Girl, you're lookin' good, come down here."
Trish headed downstairs and gave Stacy a big hug, "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. Are you ready for a great night?" Stacy asked.
"Most definitely. Melissa, you have my cell phone number if you need anything, right?" Trish asked grabbing her jacket.
"Yup, seeing as how it's the same cell phone you've had for awhile. Besides, Randy's flying in tonight, and he'll be staying with me for the weekend." Melissa replied.
Trish shook her head, "I should have known. I'll see you tomorrow." And the girls left.
They hopped into Stacy's car and took off. Stacy looked at Trish, "Ok, spill it, what's happening between you and Dave?"
Trish looked out the window, "Nothing. I haven't heard from him since the day that he left. But, there is something that even he doesn't know."
"What's that?" Stacy asked curiously.
"When I first arrived at OVW, it had been Dave's last day there. I didn't get there in time to work out, so I went out to dinner at a nearby bar and restaurant, and he was there." Trish began to tell Stacy.
"Really?!? Did you go over to him? Did you call him?" Stacy asked.
Trish shook her head sadly, "No, no I didn't. He wasn't alone, and he wasn't with Angie or his sister. He was with some girl and he was holding hands with her. I didn't want to interrupt their date, so I turned around and left."
"Have you called him since then?"
"Once, I called him the next day, and I never heard back from him, and I just figured that he's moved on and I need to get over him." Trish said sadly.
Stacy rubbed Trish's shoulder, "I'm so sorry Trish. It still hurts you doesn't it?"
"Sometimes, well ok, a lot of times, but I'm working on it." Trish said.
They arrived at the restaurant and found they were the last to arrive. Trish showed everyone the ultrasound pictures of her "son" and Stephanie poured them each a glass of wine, and they all began to talk.
They talked about work, and they talked about their families, then they got into the love life discussion.
"Matt and I moved in together finally, and everything is going great!" Amy started.
"Well.Peter proposed to me, and I said yes." Torrie said with excitement. She showed everyone her engagement ring.
"Speaking of engagements, Paul and I are doing well, and the planning of the wedding is coming along nicely." Steph commented.
"Andrew and I are doing really well." Stacy added.
Lillian nodded, "Yeah, Ken and I are doing well. No proposals yet, but we're doing good at where we're at." She looked at Trish, "What about you?"
"Well.I'm still single. I don't have a man in my life besides my male friends. I've gone out on a few dates, but no sparks. So, I've decided to just concentrate on returning to the ring." Trish replied.
"Have you heard from Dave lately?" Lillian asked. "He makes his return to Smackdown tomorrow night."
Trish shook her head, "No, I haven't spoken to him recently. But yes I was aware that he returns tomorrow. You guys are live tomorrow aren't you?" She asked Steph.
"Yeah, UPN has some special on on Thursday, so we decided to take the show live this week." Steph replied.
Stacy knew how much Trish was still in love with Dave, even if she wouldn't admit it. She could see it in Trish's eyes that it still hurt to talk about it. Stacy quickly changed the subject and the girls started to tell stories and gossip about everyone.
After dinner, the girls hit the bar. They did a few shots, had a few drinks, and hit the dance floor in full force. Everyone was having a great time. But, at midnight, Steph called all of the girls to a table for an announcement.
"Alright ladies," Steph said with a slight slur of her words, "You guys are going to be the first ones, the last ones, and the only ones to know about what I'm about to tell you." Then Steph paused, "That's not right," Stephanie re-started, "you girls are going to be the first ones to know, until" Steph stopped again.
The girls were all laughing at Steph, she was too drunk to make her announcement! Finally Steph slammed her hand on the table, "Alright, It's my honor to announce that finally.Trish Stratus will make her return.at the joint pay-per-view next week!"
Trish jumped up, "You mean it?"
Steph nodded, "I sure do."
The girls all squealed and hugged each other. Trish held Steph, "Thank you so much! I won't let you down, I have even worked on a few new moves."
"Too bad Dave's missing the practicing of those moves." Torrie commented to Stacy. Trish heard her though, and the comment made Trish start to think about him. She felt a wave of sadness overcome her. Suddenly, she found herself wondering what Dave was doing now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dave was packing the last of his stuff up from the house. After Angie's accident, he wound up moving into Angie's house to help take care of everything. Aly and Jenni wound up starting school with a tutor so that way they could live with Dave, and Natalie was growing up so fast.
Angie was on a long, slow road to recovery, but she had also amazed doctors with how far she had come in just 3 months. She had been in the coma for a week, and she had a few setbacks, but now she was able to get around using crutches to help brace herself, but she still had a lot of recovering left to do.
Dave had poured everything he had to helping Angie recover, raising the girls, and working on returning to the ring. Dave hadn't hardly spoken to anyone from the WWE except for if they called him. When Angie got hurt, he didn't pay attention to anything but making sure she got better and making sure the girls were taken care of and getting himself back into shape to return to the ring.
He and Angie had been living as if they were married. They shared a bed, they ate meals together, he had to help bathe her for awhile, and they raised the kids as a married couple, but yet they weren't together. Even if people referred to them as being married or to Angie as Dave's wife, he didn't bother to correct them. Why correct them when they were living as being married?
"Because my heart isn't with Angie." Dave thought sadly to himself.
Dave hadn't spoken to Trish since the day he left her at the airport. He remembered the day as if it was yesterday. He had deleted the voicemail that she left him without even listening to it. He regretted it almost immediately afterwards. Trish had only called him one other time, and that was about a month ago, but he couldn't get over his own stupidity to call her back.
Dave found the last box of his wrestling gear and opened it up. Sitting on top was a picture of Dave and Trish. They were sitting on opposite sides a table at an old fifties diner, so the two of them hammed it up by holding hands and kissing and Stacy took the picture of them. It was one of Dave's favorites. He looked at it and felt himself starting to tear up, he took his finger and slowly traced it over Trish's picture.
"What are you doing now Trish? He pondered out loud. He let out a sad sigh and placed it in his bag as a reminder of what he had lost to his friend.
