Chapter Seventeen
(Glen's My Knight?)
** OH god was I dreaming and damns it Lilah dos you open your eyes or just leave them shut. Shit well I know that I'm not lying on my kitchen floor so I guess that someone must have moved me to the front room couch. And I don't hurt anywhere so I guess that I didn't hit the floor. Silence damn I wish someone would say something then at least I would know who is in the room before I open up my eyes. I do hear breathing so I know I'm not alone here either. Well here goes nothing because I guess I can't avoid this forever though I wish I could. So I will slowly open my eyes. Yep I'm in my front room on the couch. I guess that I will slowly look around the room. Oh Damn. I turn my head and what do I see but Mark and Glen who or at least I assume is Glen but both of them are sitting in chairs watching me. Damn I don't know why I didn't see it before but Mark looks so much like my knight. His smile and the way his eyes twinkle and that long beautiful hair. And the way he stands with pride in himself. Oh god I guess I should sit up but now what I mean damn. Well at least I can sit up on my own though both men are watch me as if they are waiting for me to fall over. Oh God Mrs. O'Mallory has just come out of Chance's bedroom. I can't even look her in the eye so I'll look at the floor instead. I can feel her sitting down on the couch next to me. She is such a sweet thing as she reaches over and takes my hand. **
Mrs. O'Mallory: Lilah, Chance and Ricky are both asleep in Chance's bed.
Lilah: Thank you. So Ricky is here too? Glen? You are Glen right?
** I look up and can see that he is looking down at the floor. Mark reaches over and places a hand on Glen's arm. This causes him to look up at me. Damn those beautiful blue eyes. I can see my beautiful son's eyes in his. **
Lilah: Glen?
Glen: Yeah Lil it's Glen.
Lilah: Well now I guess I understand why you wouldn't take your mask off at the arenas. I guess it also makes sense as to why the hotel in Mississippi didn't know who was booked into room 13.
Glen: You tried to find me?
Lilah: Yep. I just wanted you to know about Chance coming not that I wanted anything from you. I just thought that maybe you would have wanted to know.
Glen: I would have. I would have helped you if I had known that you were pregnant.
Lilah: I know that.
** God he is sitting there with tears in his eyes. I can feel my own tears sliding down my cheeks. I guess with all the things I thought about that night. Well hell the one thing I hadn't thought about was that just maybe my knight was a married man. Hell damn it dummy he wasn't just married but Ricky is about six month's older then Chance which means he was not just married but his wife was pregnant too. Damn now I am really crying. I can't look any of these people in the eyes now. Because I guess that in some ways I am low class just like my family. I can feel Mark sitting down next to me and then he puts his arms around me. God I wonder when Mark found out that Glen is Chance's father? I turn and all I can do is buried my face into his chest and cry. I don't understand why he would even want to hold me now that he knows. Oh god what a giant fool I am. I have to look Mark in the eye because I have to know if it was him that I passed just after leaving Glen's room that night in Mississippi? Come on Lilah dry your damn eyes already and look this wonderful man in the eyes. **
Lilah: Mark can I ask you something?
Mark: Sure Lil anything.
Lilah: The night in Mississippi after I left Glen's room as I was walking through the parking lot I passed someone who had just come back with a cup of coffee. Was that you?
** Damn he is looking at me so intensely that he is scaring me a little. Oh no please don't smile at me because I don't think that I could take that right now. **
Mark: Yes Lilah that was me and that also explains to me why I have always had the feeling that I seen you some where before. And also why you look at me the same way some times.
Lilah: Yes I guess that it does. How long have you know that Glen was Chance's Dad?
Mark: I suspected it last night when I watched Glen carefully putting the boys in the limo to take them to the hotel. I guess that it was the way that he keeps looking at him.
Glen: I told him this morning that I was the guy that you met in that bar in Mississippi. The first guy that you were ever with and was dumb enough to let you get away from without even knowing your name. I'm sorry Lil I should have told you my name and that I was married but was separated at the time. I'm sorry I ...
Lilah: Glen I didn't tell you my name either. And I'm not sorry that I met you or that I went back to your hotel room either. Glen as hard as this is right now please under stand that I will never be sorry because you gave me Chance.
** Oh god I can't believe that I just said that. Even though it is the truth. Mark is smiling at me god maybe he doesn't hate me. At least I hope not because I don't know what I'll do without him in my life. I don't know where this is going to leave any of us but I guess that I will no we will just have to work it out. Oh god it seems as if Mrs. O'Mallory and Glen had a talk last night and he told her all about meeting me. She is such a godsend and I am so glad that she will be with us on the road. I wonder what we should do about Ricky and Chance. I guess that Glen must have read it in my eyes because he just asked if I would be able to some day let Chance know that Glen is his Dad? And also that Ricky is his half brother? I am so happy that Glen want's Chance to know and Ricky too that all I can do is shake my head yes. Mrs. O'Mallory hugs me and then say's that she has to go because she still has some packing to do before we go tomorrow. She also say's that if we need her to just call. Mark gets up and walks her down stairs to her apartment. Glen gets up and comes over and sits down on the couch where Mark was sitting earlier. He reaches over and gently takes me into his arms just like he did that night in Mississippi. He holds me while once more I start to cry softly. Then he whispers in my ear that he is so sorry forever making me cry. I slowly push him back so that I could look into his eyes and so that he can look into mine. I gently reach up and caress his face. For some reason I need to just touch his cheek to know that everything will somehow be ok. I can hear that Mark has come back into the room and is standing some where near by. I then tell Glen that the tears that he is seeing in my eyes and on my face aren't tears of regret but tears of joy. Joy for the fact that Chance with has a family in his life now. A Father, An Uncle and a Brother. And that he will know of a love of a family not just a Mother. Damn I must be one of the luckiest woman around because now Mark has come and sat down behind me and is hugging me and Glen both. Glen then does something that set my toes curling because he leans down and captures my lips. He kisses me in a way that only Mark and he has ever kissed me. By the time that he pulls back I am out of breath and scared to death to look at Mark because I have to admit that I loved it. Mark then turns me toward him and leans down and does the same damn thing. Now I really can't breathe or think straight after two such kisses. Then Mark does something so wild that at first I'm not even sure that I heard him except for the fact that Glen is roaring with laughter. And me well once again I am blushing a wonderful shade of red. Because Mark say's that I don't have to chose between them in less I want to because good brothers always share the best things in their life's. Then he tells me that finding Chance and me was the best way their lives could change. Oh damn them now I am crying once again and they are both laughing at me. I know that we have a lot more to talk about but I also know that I have to have time to process what I have just learned too. I mean it's not every day that you find the man you gave yourself too for the first time. Had his child and then fall in love with his brother. Oh god I don't know where these changes are going to take me but the one thing I do know is that my son will know his father and have a family. I jump up off the couch and head out of the room. I know that I left both of them surprised but there is something that I just had to do. Damn it I run to the bathroom so that I could get sick. I can hear them both coming down the hallway and quickly shut the door. I don't want either one of them watching me get sick. Damn it I guess that my system is just on over load with everything that has happened over the last couple of days. Hell what else could happen? Or maybe I shouldn't have asked that with the way my week has been. Oh well to late now and it's not like asking is going to change what ever is coming. After a few minutes I wipe my face with a cool rag and open the bathroom door. They are both standing there with worried looks on their faces. I try to smile at them and tell them that I'm fine but they both just keep looking at me. As we walk back up the hallway I stop and open the door to Chance room. There, sleeping like little Angels is my son and his big brother. Wow my son has a big brother. Then I notice something that causes me to laugh as Chance is holding his Undertaker figure and Ricky is holding Chance's Kane figure. I turn around to see that both men have huge grins on their faces. I walk over to the bed and quickly kisses both boys on the cheeks and cover them up. Then I turn and gently push both men out of the room closing the door part way as I leave. I then gently push both men into the front room and towards the door. They both stop just short of the door and look at me. **
Lilah: I know that we have a lot to talk about but I don't think that I can take any more tonight.
Mark: We understand little one.
Lilah: Good because I think for tonight you both needs to go to the hotel. And we all have some packing to do yet too right? Do I need to call for a cab or anything for you?
Glen: No. I had the limo wait so it's down stairs right now. So just let me just grab Ricky and Mark and I will get out of your hair for now. But Little girl where not going too far no matter what.
Lilah: I'm glad Glen but also you are not taking Ricky out in the cold for that nice warm bed.
Glen: Lilah he can be a handful when he wakes up.
Lilah: And my son can't?
Glen: Our son.
** Damn it even with everything I can't help but love this man. He is still my knight in shinning armor. One that I know already loves my son as his own. **
Lilah: Our son. So I can handle it and I expect you two back here before breakfast so that I can get on the bus on time. I know Mark said that you are riding the bus Glen?
Glen: Yes I am because I didn't rent a car because I didn't know that I was having Ricky here in Chicago. And it's too cold for him to ride on the bike with me. So I just had the WWE load my cycle along with Mark's.
Lilah: You're not driving Mark?
Mark: Hell no I wasn't letting my best girl and her little guy ride the bus with those guys alone.
Lilah: Why don't trust me?
Mark: Darling you I trust. Hell you already stole my heart I just don't trust some of the guys around you is all.
** I have to laugh at that one because the one thing Mark has nothing to worry about is that someone is going to steal my heart. Because hell he already did that on the streets of Chicago when he stopped and helped me up out of a muddle puddle. But I think for awhile I will try and play it cool. Well anyway I am going to push them out of my apartment just so I can finish packing. I gently give them each a small push after opening the door. Glen bends down and lightly kisses me on the lips. Then Mark grabs me and damn near gets my mind not to let him leave. If he kept kissing me like that I never would have been able to finish pushing him out the door. So I quickly have to break the kiss and push him out the door with Glen. I close the door and can hear them both laughing out in the hall. Then I heard Glen ask Mark one of the sweetest things because he ask Mark if he was sure that they should be leaving her after bomb shelling her. I have to smile because this night have defiantly bomb shelled me. Mark tells him yeah because he thinks that maybe I just need to think. Though he said that he is going to keep an eye on me on the bus because he doesn't like the fact that I got sick. Damn just thinking about that and I have to run for the bathroom again. I think maybe I should stop and see the doctor tomorrow after we get to the hotel if I don't feel any better. I would hate to give the flu to the boys. So I guess now that I am finish getting sick I will pack and then catch a little sleep. **
