**Thanks to CandaceMcMahon, Trishrocks, and Psychobunny410 for all of the
reviews! I appreciate them!! I'm glad you guys didn't mind the super short
chapter! ( Now I don't know if everyone remembers or not, but I told you
that I would write up both endings. I'm not telling you which one this is,
but just remember that if you wanted to see things the other way, that one
will be posted tomorrow. .**
Trish went back to her seat and sat down by Dave. She was real quiet and looked out the window and thought back to the conversation she just had with Randy. He had helped her go through the baby name book, and she was pretty sure she had the name picked out, but she would have to see the baby first.
Dave looked at Trish, "Sorry we got interrupted, are you ready to finish our talk?"
Trish looked at her watch, "We're going to be landing in 45 minutes, do you think we'll be done by then?"
"I think we can wing it." Dave said with a smile.
"Alright." Trish said turning towards him. "What do you want out of us? Do you still want an us? Is there even an "us" to reference to anymore?" Trish asked.
"Well, I think we need to start at the beginning. I think that you need to look at the person you are today, and I need to look at the person that I am today." Dave started to say when Trish interrupted him.
"Dave, would you really need to be this analytical if the answer was a simple "yes?" Trish said to him with tears in her eyes.
Dave looked down to the floor, he didn't think about it like that. "Trish, I was just to explain things. I mean, I don't know what your heart says, and we've had so much going on between us. You've been the one constant in my life for quite sometime now. Trish I love you and I would love to see things work out between us."
"Why do I feel like there's a "but" coming on?" Trish said quietly.
Dave took her hands in his, "Trish, you are a wonderful woman, you have been the sunshine in my gloomy world. I owe you so much, but I need to know how you feel."
Trish took a deep breath, "Dave, I love you. Through all of the bad, I still love you. No matter what happens between us now, there will always be a part of me that will love you. I have given so much to make this work, and I've gotten to the point that I've had to stop and question what's more important, what I want? Or what I need?"
Dave reached over and held her close. "Trish, I've put you through so much. I'm so sorry."
Trish held him, she wasn't sure where he was going with this. She looked up and seen that Angie was walking towards them. "Dave, I think we're going to be interrupted again."
"What?" He asked. He looked up and seen Angie heading towards him. "Shit, let me tell her we're busy."
"No, we still have time. This is about your kids and whether or not you can see them. We have 30 minutes till we land. Look, the only thing I ask is that we have this clarified by the time we land." Trish said softly.
Dave kissed her hand, "Trish, you're an angel. I'll be right back." He stood up and met with Angie, "What's up?"
"We need to talk." She said to him in a stern tone.
"Well let's go back to where you're sitting, you don't have anyone on the other side of you." Dave replied.
And the two of them walked to her seat.
Trish pulled out the baby name book and began to browse through it. Just in case the baby didn't look like he fitted the name, she wanted a spare one just in case.
Trish closed the book, finally satisfied with the names that she had chosen. She checked her watch, there was 15 minutes until they landed. She sighed and shook her head. It was the story of her relationship.
Just as they were announcing that they would like everyone to head back to their seats, Dave sat back down. "Trish, I'm so sorry." Dave started to apologize when Trish held up her hand.
"Dave, don't. I know, it was about the kids and it's a lot and you try to push when she tries to pull. I know, I understand. I just don't want to be figuring this out while my sister is pushing." Trish said to him.
Dave looked down, he felt really bad. He knew that he should have come back sooner, but him and Angie had started to talk about old times, and they got to reminiscing, and then, something major happened. Dave looked at Trish, "You want to settle this before the plane lands right?"
Trish nodded, "Yeah."
"Then trust me on this," Dave said. He pulled her to him and kissed her. He then pulled back and looked at her, "Did you feel anything?"
Trish bit her bottom lip, she couldn't lie. She didn't feel the sparks, she didn't feel the passion, and most importantly, it didn't mean anything to her. She looked at Dave, "Is there a reason you still can't come out and answer my question without turning it into a question again?"
Dave looked down to the floor, he couldn't lie. He knew what him and Angie talked about, He looked at her, "Trish, Angie and I worked things out. When she moves to Virginia, we want to give it one more shot. She understands my problems, she understands me."
Trish did a double take, "WHAT?" She exclaimed. "Let me get this straight, the woman that calls you every name in the book, wanted to take you to court so you would never see the girls again, didn't want to be in the same room with you is now willing to take you back? How in the hell does that work?" She said with slight anger in her voice. "Don't you think maybe she's the one taking you for granted?"
Dave chuckled a bit, "There you go worrying about me again." But then he got serious, "Look, that's just us. Our marriage was that way, and before she had her mid-life crisis, things were fine. We make each other better people by leveling each other out. When she's off the handle, I'm calm and collected and vice versa. I know it sounds weird, but without each other, we're not whole. I really hope that you understand."
Trish nodded, "I'm confused, but I understand."
Dave took her hand and squeezed it, "And.I did something for you."
Trish looked at him confused, "What?"
"Just trust me, you'll see." Dave said. "But you had better get your stuff packed, there's the runway."
Trish shook her head and packed up her stuff. Next thing she knew they were standing up and exiting the plane.
As soon as they were off the plane, Aly and Angie ran over to Dave and Trish. Aly had a big smile on her face, and Trish couldn't help but smile. She walked to Angie and stuck out her hand, "Congratulations. I really hope things work out for you."
Angie shook her hand and smiled, "Thanks."
Aly found Randy, "Ok guys, lets go, we've got a baby to see!" She said loudly.
They rushed out to the taxi stand and headed towards the hospital. Randy was trying to call the hospital but was getting the run around. "Damn it!" Randy exclaimed.
As soon as they arrived, they all piled out of the cab and Trish paid the driver and they rushed inside to find out where she was.
They found the Labor and Delivery floor and found Melissa's parents, Jenni and Nattie in the waiting room. Trish hugged them. "She wants you guys in there. She's getting really close." Her mom said as they hugged.
Trish nodded, "Ok, we'll get in there." She turned to Randy and Dave, "Are you guys ready?"
Dave took her by the arm, "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Now?" Trish said to him with a confused look her face.
"I think that you and Randy should be the ones in there." Dave said to her.
"But Dave, you're his daddy." Trish started to say but he held up his finger.
"No, I haven't been anything to him. You and Randy get in there and help her out and I'll explain later." Dave said to her.
"Are you sure?" Trish asked.
"GO." Dave said pointing.
Trish grabbed Randy and they went inside.
There was Melissa, her legs in stirrups, pushing and breathing. She looked so tired. Randy ran up to her and kissed her and grabbed her hand, "Honey, I'm here. Let's get him out."
"I can't. I'm so tired." She said with tears streaming down her face.
Trish grabbed her other hand, "Yes you can. I know you can do it."
They patted Melissa's forehead with a cool rag and held her hands and finally the doctor looked up, "Come on Missy, one more strong push and we'll have ourselves a baby."
As soon as the next contraction started Melissa pushed with all of her might. Everyone was cheering her on, and then there was a baby's cry filling the room. "IT'S A BOY." The doctor said laying him on Melissa's chest.
Melissa held him and cried. Trish had tears streaming down her face and Randy had the proudest look on his face that Trish had ever seen. "Congratulations Melissa, you did it!" One of her nurses said to her.
Melissa held him close and seen his blue eyes looking back at hers and she cried more, "Trish, what's his name?"
Trish wiped her tears, "Brandon David" she replied. "There's a meaning for the name."
The doctor took the baby over to the side of the room so he could be cleaned up and weighed.
Melissa looked at Trish, "What's the meaning?"
"Well, his first name is Brandon. BR equals Brock, Rand equals Randy and his middle name is David after his father." Trish replied. "They're all people who were important to you and I throughout the conception and pregnancy. I wanted him to have a name that was able to mean something to everyone."
Melissa smiled with tears in her eyes and reached up and held Trish, "Wow, I would have never come up with something like that."
Randy reached over and hugged Trish too, "Thanks for thinking about me."
"Speaking of David, where is he?" Melissa asked. "Wasn't he able to make it here in time?"
"No, he's here. Mom told me that you were requesting us and Dave told me that he wanted Randy and I in here. I told him that he was his father and he told me no, he hadn't been much of a father and he would explain later. But, just so everyone knows, we're not together anymore, him and Angie are going to give it another try." Trish explained.
"Trish, I'm sorry." Melissa said squeezing her hand.
"I'm ok. I was going to tell him that we didn't have an "us" to go back to anyways." Trish said confidently. "I'm ok."
There was a knock on the door and of all people, Brock walked in. "Heard I'm too late."
Trish went over to him and hugged him, "How did you get here?"
"Vince's jet. I called Vince the instant you guys left and told him that I had a family emergency and I'll tape my backstage promos on Wednesday at Titan and that way I'll still be on Smackdown." Brock said with a smile. "That thing is fast! I'm just lucky that Vince was flying to Smackdown and not driving."
Trish smiled and held him.
"What is the baby's name?" The doctor asked.
"Brandon David." Melissa said to him and squeezed Randy's hand.
"Brandon is 8lbs. 12 oz. And 22 inches long. And he looks perfect." The doctor said handing the baby to Melissa.
Melissa kissed his forehead and hugged him. Then she looked at Trish, "Are you going to come over here and hold your son?"
Trish smiled and tears welled up in her eyes, "I'd be honored to." And she walked over and picked him up.
Everyone smiled as Trish stood there snuggling with him. She looked at Randy, "Do you want to hold him?"
Randy nodded, so Trish handed the baby to him. After Randy gave him a hug and a kiss he handed the baby to Brock.
Brock looked at Brandon, "How would you like it if I was to ask your mommy to be my girlfriend? Would you like that?"
Trish's eyes opened wide as she looked over at him, "What was that you're asking him?"
"Oh, I was just wondering if he would mind me being your boyfriend." Brock said matter-of-factly and turned his attention back to the baby.
"What about me? Does what I think matter?" Trish said with a smile on her face.
"No, not really." Brock said with a big smile. He seen Trish pout and he handed the baby back to Melissa and wrapped his arms around Trish, "Would you be my girlfriend?"
Trish leaned up and kissed him, "Yes."
The room filled with applause. It was indeed a wonderful day.
Melissa handed the baby back to Trish. Trish held him and whispered in his ear, "Just remember, you never know what will happen. And sometimes you find love in the oddest places."
