**Thanks to Willow, Crystal, Mysticalfem, and Psychobunny410 for you
reviews. From the vibes that I'm picking up, it seems like you guys want
the happy ending first, so that's what this is. The "alternate ending" will
be next. The State Fair was a lot of fun. Thanks again!**
Melissa pulled in the driveway and picked Trish up. Trish hopped in and they took off. "Missy what happened?"
"I can't take living there anymore." Melissa said trying not to start crying again.
"What do you mean?" Trish asked gently.
"All dad does is bad talk me and Randy, and he talks about Dave whenever the baby is brought up. When I defend Randy, dad just argues with me even more. Him and mom fight constantly, and my stress level is through the roof. I've been having contractions on and off for the last couple days, so I haven't been in school and I'm behind in my homework," Melissa started to explain, but she started to cry again.
"Whoa, how about you pull over, I'll do the driving, you do the crying. Deal?" Trish said squeezing her shoulder.
Melissa pulled over on the side of the street and the two switched seats. "So dad is still nagging on you huh?" Trish commented.
"That just won the understatement of the year award." Melissa mumbled.
"Did you talk to your doctor about the contractions?" Trish asked.
"Yeah, if they get stronger or closer together I should go in, and if my water breaks I should go in." Melissa replied.
"I don't have a problem with you living at my house, I just figured it would be nice to be at mom and dad's because that way you have someone there all the time." Trish said to her. "But if you want to move back in, go ahead."
"But what about you and Dave?" Melissa asked. "Like he's really going to want to come and visit you with me there."
"Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but if he was able to sleep with you then he damn sure can be in the same house as you. And it's not like I don't trust you when he's around. We're past that. You have Randy, you wouldn't cheat on Randy." Trish said rubbing her back. "So as long as you're comfortable, then that's what matters. Besides, after you have the baby you're moving in with Randy right?"
Melissa smiled and nodded.
"So you're going to live with me for all of what two months, if that? That is not a big deal." Trish reassured her.
"Trish, you are the best sister ever." Melissa said hugging her.
"Now, Dave and the girls will be coming over tomorrow so don't forget about that." Trish reminded Melissa.
"Um, Trish, did Dave tell the girls about the baby thing?" Melissa asked cautiously.
"I don't see why he wouldn't have, you have nothing to worry about." Trish said reassuring her.

Aly and Jenni were able to see that by the end of the show Dave was in a really bad mood, so they took care of Nattie and just tried to stay out of his way. They told Brock that they would be in the divas locker room and took off.
Instead of hanging out after the show and talking with the other guys, Dave grabbed his stuff and started looking for the girls. He couldn't find them anywhere and he was really starting to get angry.
Brock came out of the locker room and almost ran into Dave who appeared to be a man on a mission. Brock smiled, "What are you hunting for, and why aren't you wearing camo?"
"Very funny. I'm looking for the girls, have you seen them lately?" Dave asked sternly.
"Yeah, they're with the divas. Is everything ok?" Brock asked noticing the hostility.
"Everything's fine, just tired of them running off all the time." Dave replied. "Thanks for your help." And he stormed off to the divas locker room.
He banged on the door and it startled all of the girls and it woke Natalie up. Natalie's bottom lip popped out and her eyes welled with tears, soon she was wailing at the top of her lungs. Nidia got up and opened the door, "Hey Dave, what's up? You're lookin' good."
Dave attempted a smile, "Thanks, are the girls in here?"
Nidia grinned at him with a seductive smile, "You know, you seem really tense. Maybe later I could help you work off that tension." She purred.
"Realllly?" He replied drawing out the word like it sparked some interest. "I'll keep that in mind. But, by the sounds of the crying I'm guessing the girls are here."
"Yeah, sure are." Nidia replied with a smile.
"Girls, let's go." Dave hollered back to them.
As the girls were gathering their things Nidia leaned close to Dave, "Room 452. Just knock." She whispered seductively into his ear.
Dave looked at her and went to respond when the girls appeared, "Hey dad, we're all packed and ready to go." Jenni replied.
Dave picked Natalie up, "Alright, let's head out." And as he pointed the way to the car he looked back and winked at Nidia.
Torrie heard almost the whole thing and looked at Nidia after she shut the door, "What the hell are you doing?"
"What do you mean?" Nidia asked innocently. "Just letting the man know that I know how to give really good massages."
"Yeah, well the man has a girlfriend for that." Torrie snapped.
"He has a girlfriend?" Nidia asked.
"Um.yeah. Remember, him and Trish are back together?"
"That's what I thought, but last night.never mind. I didn't realize they are still together, I'll back off, not a problem." Nidia responded.
"What about last night?" Torrie asked.
"Nothing, I guess I was just confused, that's all." Nidia said trying to avoid Torrie's question.
"Nidia, this is Trish's boyfriend. You know how much she loves him and how hurt she was when they were apart. Is there something that could be critical to their relationship?" Torrie said to her. "Think about it as if you were in Trish's shoes."
Nidia put her head down, "Alright. Last night I saw Dave sneaking out of his hotel room and driving off. I just figured that at 2:00 a.m. he would be heading out with a woman, that's all."
"Thanks Nid." Torrie said. She grabbed her bag and ran off to find Brock.
Dave and the girls arrived at the hotel room around 10:30 p.m. The girls hopped on their bed and turned on the tv. "Girls, you need to go to bed early tonight, we have to be up at 5:00 a.m. so we can be to the airport on time." Dave said to them.
"Yes dad." They replied at the same time.
"So I want you guys to get ready and tv goes off at 11:00 p.m." Dave finished. He made Natalie a bottle and started to rock her to sleep.
Aly and Jenni got their pajamas and headed towards the bathroom to brush their teeth. When they finally emerged, Dave was putting Natalie in her playpen. They went and gave Dave a good night hug and crawled in bed.
Once 11:00 p.m. came Dave turned off the tv and all of the lights. Dave laid in bed thinking about everything that was going on lately and he found himself growing agitated. He looked at the clock, it was 11:30 p.m. He looked over and it appeared that both girls were out. He got up and changed into a pair of black jeans and a nicer looking shirt and quietly slipped out of the room. What he didn't realize is that Jenni was still awake.
Jenni shook Aly, "Aly, Aly wake up."
"What?" Aly asked harshly.
"Dad's gone, just like last night, he's gone again." Jenni said to her.
Aly sat up and looked over at his bed, "Oh my god you weren't kidding."
Jenni rolled her eyes, "Of course I wasn't kidding, what do you think is going on?"
"I don't know. But I know one thing, I'm going to find out." Aly said with a mischievous look on her face.
"Aly, what are you thinking of?" Jenni asked. "You and dad fight an awful lot lately, I don't think you need to start another one."
"Listen, do you want to know what Dad is up to?" Aly asked sharply.
Jenni nodded.
"Well then you have to trust me." Aly said. She went over to Dave's bag and started to look through it. "Keep an ear for the card key."
Jenni went and sat by the door while Aly dug through Dave's bag.

Dave returned to the hotel a few hours later feeling much better than before. He looked at his watch and it was 2:45 a.m. As he walked to his room, he could remember Nidia's promise. "Should I or shouldn't I?" Dave asked himself. "Nah, when we get to Toronto I'll send the girls outside and then I can relieve my stress that way." He reasoned, but yet he wound up in front of Nidia's door and found himself knocking.
Nidia opened the door and was shocked to see Dave standing there, "Dave? I didn't think that you were coming."
"Yeah, sorry I'm a little late." Dave said to her.
Nidia looked in his eyes and could tell that he wasn't himself, "Dave, are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah, I'm feeling just fine, why?" Dave asked.
"Just curious, come in." Nidia invited him in. She was wearing a t-shirt with just a thong underneath, and when she walked you could see it.
Dave grinned to himself as he watched her walk into the room. "I didn't wake you up did I?"
Nidia shook her head, "No, no I was up watching Jerry Springer re-runs. Can I get you something to drink?"
"Whatever you have handy would be great." Dave replied.
Nidia looked around and found the hotel's mini-bar in the fridge along with some sodas she had picked up on her way in town. She grabbed two sodas and a couple of the mini bottles of alcohol and brought them over to the table, "I thought that I would let you mix your own drink."
They both poured themselves a drink and Nidia looked at Dave, "So are you ready for that massage that I promised ya?"
"Yup, sure am." Dave said taking off his shirt.
Nidia gasped, "Wow, the man is definitely stud material." Nidia thought to herself. She got up and grabbed a black, paisley bag and began to take out a couple different bottles. "Dave, lay down on your stomach."
Dave did as he was told and Nidia climbed on the bed and sat down on his butt. "Am I too heavy up here?" She asked.
"Nope, you are just fine." Dave replied.
Nidia lit a couple aromatherapy candles and she began to pour a couple different massage oils on him and began to give him a back massage. She could feel how tense he was, "Wow, have you been really stressed out lately?"
"You have no idea." Dave said enjoying his massage. "You have no idea at all."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Nidia asked him.
"You wouldn't want to hear about my problems." Dave said to her with a chuckle.
"No Dave seriously, I would love to hear about your problems. We don't know each other very well, let's get to know each other while we're here." Nidia replied.
Dave took a deep breath and the next thing he knew, he was spilling his guts to her and having drink after drink with her.
After a little while she noticed that Dave was different than he was before, his whole attitude and demeanor had changed. Nidia sat and pondered it while Dave was talking, it seemed familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it as to why.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~***~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~*
Aly was just about to give up her search when she reached into a pocket and pulled out a wad of cash, "Jenni, Jenni look at this." She held it up for her sister to see.
"Holy shit, why does he carry that kind of money?" Jenni asked sitting down by Aly.
"I don't know, but I'm sure that he has a very good reason." Aly said to her.
"I bet that he's going to buy Trish an engagement ring and propose to her." Jenni said with a smile.
"You think so?" Aly asked.
"Yeah, and I bet that he sneaks out to talk to Brock as to which one he should get her." Jenni said with a smile. "I'm so dumb to think anything else, come on let's go back to bed."
Aly put everything back and the two sister climbed into bed and were fast asleep."
