Trish was already behind the wheel when Melissa got outside and climbed into the car. "Ok, dish. What was Brock doing in your room?"
"Geez, no good morning. No how are you doing? No how's Dave doing, the first thing is what was Brock doing in my room." Trish said to her with a smile.
"Shut up. So.what happened last night?" Melissa asked. "I'll tell you what I did if you tell me what you did."
"Trish rolled her eyes, "Well, we went out to a few places, had a few drinks, had a few dances, then came back home."
"And then you went to your room and made wild, passionate love all night long?" Melissa asked.
"Melissa, I feel really weird right now. I don't know what to think of myself right now and I'm just not sure how to go about this whole thing." Trish said slipping her sunglasses on. "I'm so confused."
"Talk to me. Tell me what you're feeling." Melissa said to her. "I'm always here to listen."
"Well I talked to Dave this morning as you know, and instead of sugar- coating everything, I was brutally honest with him about how the girls have been doing, and how Aly is devastated. I told him about the forgotten state meet and how I'm taking her to it to fill in for him, and he never even said thanks. He never asked me how I was holding up, nothing. Now maybe I should expect that seeing as how it is him who is addicted to drugs and it is about him, but I guess I would have liked a little gratitude thrown my way. Is that too much to ask?"
Melissa shook her head no, "No, I don't think that that is expecting too much. Especially since you offered to do this."
"And then there's Brock." She said with a slow smile appearing on her face.
"Yes, tell me all about Brock." Melissa egged her on.
"Well, it's funny because Brock and I's friendship was created back when Dave first tore his bicep muscle. He brought Dave home from the hospital for me. We had never really talked before then, and after we always visited. We went out to eat together, we traveled together sometimes, we became busom buddies. If Dave and I were having problems I talked to him. If him and Nicole were having problems, he would talk to me. Well, long story short, our friendship grew, and one time we had to share a hotel room because I was locked out of mine." She stopped and looked at Melissa, "For that story you can ask Randy. He had a big part of that explosion."
Melissa nodded, "Yeah he told me all about it."
"Well after that he was a little gunshy to talk to me because he was afraid of upsetting Dave. Finally one night he came to my hotel room and told me that he wanted to talk to me privately." She looked at Melissa, "No one knows this, and I expect for it to stay that way. Dave has no clue and he would flip if he ever knew."
"Alright, alright, my lips are sealed. Randy won't know a thing." Melissa promised.
"I invited him in because I had a room all to myself that night. He sat down and told me that he realized that he was falling for me. He had never been so attracted to someone before. He liked the way that I treated him, he thought that it was neat how we had barely ever spoken, and once we did we found we had so much in common. We were always there as confidants for each other and that if he didn't tell me he would go nuts. He respected that I was with Dave, Dave was his best friend and he knew that what he was doing right now could possibly ruin that friendship, but he had to tell me. He got up and walked over to me and kissed me. Well I had been debating in my head if I liked him, or if it was just a friendship thing where I thought he was hot. But the kiss definitely made up my mind. I wound up kissing him back. We sat there in my room making out for quite awhile when my phone rang. I looked and it was Dave. Brock got up and looked at me he told me that I now knew how he felt and that if I ever needed anything, he would always be in my corner. Shortly after that I found out I had cancer and Dave and I fell apart, and sure enough Brock was always there in my corner. I still tried to help him out with Nicole, and even now, we always find ourselves coming together."
"Wow Trish, it sounds like you two are destined for each other." Melissa said with a smile.
"Yeah, but I have Dave's girls right now. I told Dave that I was sticking by him through this unless he fucked up. I can't just ditch on him now. Brock knows how I feel, but I'm afraid that I'll hurt him if I stay with Dave. He told me that he understands my place and he respects my decision, and me but part of me doesn't want to let him go. And I'm not the kind of girl who goes out there and sleeps with someone else while I'm dating someone, so I don't know what came over me last night." Trish said practically in tears.
"Maybe Brock fulfills a need of yours that Dave hasn't been. Have you ever thought about the fact that everytime Dave makes you cry, Brock is there. Brock has come with us to doctor's appointments, and Dave hasn't. Does Dave even acknowledge the baby with you?" Melissa pointed out.
"Rarely. Usually I'm the one who brings him up. I haven't even picked out a name yet. But Brock brings me little things for him every now and then." Trish replied.
They pulled up to the doctor's office, "Well, let's go in and see how you're doing." Trish said to Melissa trying to change the subject.
"Just remember, I'm not going to forget where we left off." Melissa said climbing out of the car. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A while later they came walking out of the clinic. Melissa looked at Trish and grumbled, "I'm not dilated. I'm not softened, they think I might go over my due date. Trish, I'm going to be pregnant forever."
"Oh stop, you still have almost two weeks to go yet. A lot can change in two weeks." Trish reassured her. She looked at her watch, "Shit, we're running late. We've got to get you home so I can get the girls ready for the flight."
Melissa climbed in the car and Trish grabbed her cell phone and called Brock.
"'Ello" Brock answered.
"Hey it's me." Trish started to say.
"Aly is panicking, where are you?"
"I'm close to being home. How's Jenni doing?" Trish asked.
"She's not close to being better yet." Brock replied.
"Shoot, alright, I have to make some calls, I'll be home in a couple of minutes, tell Aly she needs to be packed and ready so we can leave as soon as I get there." Trish said starting to worry.
"Melissa, I don't know what to do!! Mom was going to take Nattie for me this weekend because she's going somewhere but she'll be able to handle bring Nattie along, but now Jenni is still too sick to go, what am I going to do?" Trish asked Melissa panicking.
"Where is mom going that she can't bring Jenni along?" Melissa asked.
"She has a teacher's convention, but there's free child care, but she can't bring Jenni because Jenni is too sick." Trish replied. "I can't have Christy watch her because she could get the boys sick."
"Why don't you leave her with me?" Melissa offered. "It's not like I'm going anywhere. I can wait on her if she stays down in the living room, we can watch tv together and stuff."
"Are you sure? I won't be able to come back until Wednesday, I have to make Raw and the house show following Raw. We have a pay per view coming up on Sunday." Trish reiterated.
"Yes I'm sure. I'm past the 36 week mark so I'm not on bedrest anymore, we were just at the doctors' and found out that I'm going to be pregnant forever, so why not?" Melissa replied. "It'll be fine."
"Ok, but if it gets to be too much, you're going to have to call someone to help out." Trish said pulling in the driveway.
Trish ran into the house, "Ok, Aly go start loading your stuff into the car. I'll be out in a minute." She went up to Jenni's room and walked in.
Jenni was laying in bed with 3 blankets on but yet her fan was blowing on her full force. "Hi Trish." She said softly.
Trish turned the fan off, "You're going to get pneumonia doing this. You're going to stay here with Melissa for the weekend. I'll be home on Wednesday, but I'll be calling you to check on you and see how you're doing. If you don't get better, I'll have to have Missy take you to the doctor. Do you feel comfortable staying here with Melissa?"
Jenni nodded, "As long as she has medicine, I'm fine."
Trish hugged her, "Melissa will be able to give you medicine, vitamins, soup and she can help you with your homework once you start feeling better, ok?"
Jenni nodded again, "Will you tell Aly that I wish her the best of luck?"
"Of course I will." Trish said smiling at her. She hugged her one more time and gave her a kiss on the top of the head, "You work on getting better, ok?"
Jenni smiled, "I will."
Trish ran downstairs and grabbed Brock's hand, "Come with me."
He followed her into a back room of the house. She pulled Brock around so she was facing him, "I want to figure everything out before I start trying to explain things," She started to say when he put a finger to her lips to silence her.
He looked deep into her eyes, "Trish, you are a beautiful woman who deserves to be treated a lot better than how it has been. But, I respect your feelings, I respect your heart, you know what's best for you and you will know when you're truly ready, I'll be here. And no matter what happens, we will always be friends, and you will forever be in my heart." He said softly to her. He tilted her head up to his and he leaned down and gently kissed her.
She looked into his eyes with tears filling hers, and she nodded. "Thank you." And she turned and walked out.
