Chapter Twenty Eight
(Telling the Boss)
** God I can't believe that I am going to have to do this and all I can do is hope that Linda and Vince are going to be alright with this. I mean shit they could always fire me or make me go back to just being a writer is all. Mark and Glen are so sweet that both of them have demanded the right to come with me. I don't know how but a handful of wrestlers and their families seem to know that something is up. I have gotten more hugs when I came back to work today then I should have for just getting bumped in the head. And a few of the woman told me that if I need to talk come and finds them. Then after dropping the two boys off with their teacher we headed to the locker room. Sweet Mrs. O'Mallory is going to make sure that everything is packed up and ready to go for tonight. Because once again we will be spending the night bumping along on the bus to the next town. God I just hope that I don't end up sick in the middle of the night. Oh well why worry about what I can't change. Mrs. O'Mallory is then going to meet us here before dinner time so that she can take over the boys before we have to go out for Glen and Mark's match against John and Ron Simmons. So then we head on into the locker room to drop off our stuff. And of all things I walk into the locker room where the Brother of Destruction where to set up today and there is the biggest bouquet of wild flowers that has a card that say's thanks to the most beautiful cushion in the world. Hell Yeah. Steve. So now the only thing that we can do is drop all of our junk and then head on up to the McMahon office. I am so scared that I am shaking which causes Mark to reach out and take me into his arms before we even head out of the locker room. After a few minutes he kisses me on the head and then Glen reaches out for me too. He holds me and tells me that everything will be all right and that him and Mark will take care of things. So after kissing me on the head he turns me toward the door which Mark holds open. We head on out into the hallway to head up to the McMahon office. On our way there we ran into John who turns around and smiles that damn Texas smile of his. He then reaches out and grabs me into his arms. Of all things for that red neck to whisper into my ear. He is such a practical joker but he is also one of the best people here. Well he tells me that I can still leave these two giants and come and run away with him. That he will take care of his goddaughter and her Mommy the way princesses should be taken care off. And that he will watch over Chance because little future prince of wrestling needs to be watched over. I can't help but to laugh because he is just so damn sweet and kind and he has the damnest twinkle in his eye. I love him to death just like a big brother. It's funny because I never though of my own brothers as brothers but here I am thinking of this big old red neck of a Texan as a brother. Damn it I can't help but reach over and grab him around the neck and kiss his cheek. He hugs me back and tells me that everything is going to be all right and to just keep believing that. Damn it now I can't stop a tear or two from finding it's way down my face. Because he says everything will be ok because I'm with family now. He then reaches down and takes a little package out of his bag at his feet. He hands it to me and tells me to open it. Oh fuck I am going to be crying like a baby in a moment. The package held a small gold locket with a tiny diamond in the center on a fine gold chain. On the back is engraved with To my Goddaughter with love Uncle John. I can't help but to hug him again. He then kisses me on the cheek and turns me back towards Mark who is grinning at me and I guess even though I am still nervous what can I do but believe that everything will work out some how. That and I have all ways figured that you can't stop change when it decided to come your way. And fuck if it hadn't come my way big time in the last two weeks. So all I can do is except what is coming my or I guess I mean our way being it is now the three of us. Fuck or should I say the six of us. And if her two little brothers get their way this little one will be called Charity Cathline Callaway. Which they came to Mark and me with this morning while we were getting ready to head to the arena. I kind of like it but I'm not sure if Mark does because he asked the boys where they came up with it? They just laughed and said that it just came to them. I'm not even sure if Mark wants it to have his last name. Well I will just have to get up the nerve and ask him one of these days soon. Oh god I guess that I must have been day dreaming or thinking as I like to call it because all three of the guys are looking at me like I missed something which I most likely did. **
Lilah: What?
** Oh just great they are now all laughing at me and all I can do is stand here and turn red. Damn it. **
Mark: Where were you Lil?
Lilah: Thinking about something why what did I miss?
Mark: Oh just that I was telling John the name that the boys came up with for the little one is all.
John: Do I get a vote? Because I like it.
Mark: Sure Glen has already told me that he liked it too.
Lilah: He did. You do?
Glen: Yeah I do and I would also like to get Chance's name changed to Chance Curtis Callaway. Plus I would like to be added on to his birth certificate too. That is if that is all right with you Lil?
** I look over at Glen who is looking down at the ground with a somewhat worried look on his face. I can't help it I walk over to him and stand under his eyes so that I can see them. I then hug him and whisper to him that I would really like it too. He gives me a bear hug and then kisses me on the lips in a soft but passionate kiss. By the time he let me go I can't even breathe. I turn around and look at Mark who is smiling over at me. Then he tells me something that totally blows me away. **
Mark: Well Lil in less you totally hate the name I like it too. But if you don't I don't care what we name her as long as her last name is Callaway.
** Damn when these to do it to you they really do it. I am standing here with tears rolling down my face. And I can't even speak so all I can do is walk over and hug him close. Now it's his turn to make my heart go racing because he claims my lips in a kiss much like Glen did just a few minutes ago. When he breaks it I turn around and look at John and Glen. **
Lilah: Well gentlemen it is settled then this little girl that I am carrying will be named Charity Cathline Callaway. And John you better be right about it being a girl because if not he is going to be made fun of a lot.
John: Trust me darling it a girl. And she is going to be a handful just like her Mother is.
** This makes both Mark and Glen crack up. Which gives John a chance to grab me from Mark and quickly steal a kiss before handing me back to them. So after telling John that I love him I put the small box in my pocket and then we once more head off to the McMahon's office. We get there and already I can feel panic rising in me. Mark and Glen both reach out and grab one of my hands, which are shaking already. Then Glen reaches out and gently knocks on the door to the office. After a second Linda answers the door. She looks at me and smiles then steps back so that we can enter the room. Vince is sitting at the desk but gets up and walks over to where we had just entered the room. He reaches out a hand and shakes Marks and then Glens. He then hugs me to him and asks if I'm ok. And should I even be there or did I want some more time off. I say yes that I am fine. Linda looks at me as if she is sensing something and then tells us to all have a seat on the couch. So here I am sitting in between my two knights in shinning armors. With Linda and Vince sitting in chairs across from us. I tell them that I'm fine but that I do have something that I need to tell them. Fuck I am having trouble breathing so Linda reaches over and takes one of my hands and tells me that I can tell her and Vince any thing. That I am part of the family and whatever the trouble is that they will help me in any way that they can. God I hope that she is telling me the truth because here it goes. **
Lilah: Linda, Vince what I need to tell you is that I'm about two weeks pregnant?
** Oh shit no one is saying anything but they are looking at Mark and Glen. Finally Linda looks back at me and then she starts to smile. **
Linda: So which one of these guys do we get to say congratulations too?
Lilah: You mean that you aren't mad?
Vince: Mad honey hell no. As long as you aren't we are happy for you. Hell that just look at the changes you have caused in these two?
Linda: Vince is right. So?
** Damn I guess that I must be looking at them like they have to heads because finally Glen starts to laugh and tells Linda that the baby is Marks. Linda hugs him and Vince shakes his hand. Then I get hugs from both of them. **
Linda: Is everything ok I mean with the fall you took?
Lilah: Yes Doc said that the baby is fine but that I will need to be careful. That is if you still want me to be Valet for them?
Vince: Yes of course we do as long as you want to and as long as you are careful. But you will have to write it in the script in a few months when you start to show.
Lilah: I can still write too.
** Linda is looking at me with a big grin on her face. And Mark reaches over and gently wipes a few tears off of my face, which I hadn't even noticed where falling. **
Linda: Lilah you are part of this family. You tell us what you are feeling up to and when you are ready for some time off just let us know. Oh but I do have one question does this mean that you are going to still want your room or are you going to bunk in with them.
Lilah: Them.
** Damn I said that so quick that even Mark and Glen are looking at me. Oh god what if they don't want me to share with them. **
Mark and Glen: Hell yes.
** Oh god am I in for it. But then maybe it is just what I always wanted because both men lean in and whisper the same thing to me. And that was that as long as we all share one room then I have to share with both of them. God I must have turn completely red because Vince starts to laugh and Linda had to reach over and smack him in the arm. She then tells both Mark and Glen that she not going to book me in with them till the Doctor releases me from my head injury which won't be to next week so that one or the other of us can stay with me at night. But not both. Damn it I feel as if my face is on fire. This time it's Vince turn too gently hit Linda in the arm. Who smiles sheepishly at me. Then Glen does something that blows me away because he tells Vince and Linda that he need to change his life insurance papers because if anything happens to him he want to make sure that both of his sons are cared for. And that Chance is his son too. Linda tells me that she had heard that and was glad that their limo splashed me so that Glen and Chance got to be a family. Then Glen ask if the Lawyer could also get Chance birth certificate changed with his name as father and Callaway as Chance last name? Which Linda says she sure that the Lawyer can handle along with the other papers that he asked her to do. As long as it is ok with me. I tell her that I wouldn't want it any other way. Then Glen tell me that the Lawyers as it turns out is that the McMahon's hired for him are trying to get all custody away for Ricky Mom. Which Vince said the Lawyers say she will agree to for a little more money and the house in Tennessee. I just sit there stunned because as a Mother I would never give up my child or children for money and a house. Mark and I both place a hand on Glen's arm for support. He tells Vince to tell them to give her what ever it takes. Then he asks Mark if he and Ricky can stay with him in Texas? Mark tells him that of course. Then he asks me if I would be willing to help Mark raise Ricky if anything happened to him? My heart is beating with pride as I tell him that of course I would. But that nothing is ever going to happen to either one of them. So Linda tells us that she will handle everything. Oh god I am a part of these two as much of them being a part of me. For the good or bad Change is coming and only time will be able to completely show it's self to us. For now I'm just going to roll with it and to think next week the day after I am release is my twenty first birthday. And something tells me that it is going to be just full of surprises. So for now we stand up and shake hands and then head back to the locker room to get ready for tonight's show. Change it has a way of throwing you sometime and something tells me this time is going to be one hell of a time. As I walk back to the locker room between these two guys. But still I can feel the gloom but maybe this time I can fight it. Because I can't help but feel the love that these to have for Chance, me and for Charity Cathleen Callaway. Fuck what can I say? **
