Summary : What if Joanie and Paul met again after a couple of years and realized they still had feelings for each other and what if Joanie had a big secret she should have told Paul about 2 years ago......


As Joanie drove to the arena she kept thinking about how she was going to tell Paul and what his reaction would be. Even though they had talked about having children together that had always been in the future when their careers and lives weren't quite so hectic. Joanie didn't think that Paul would suggest that she terminate the pregnancy, but if he did, he was in for a very rude awakening because there was no way in Hell that Joanie was getting rid of her baby. She had always wanted children but didn't know if she would ever be able to have them because of an operation that she had had as a teen. Though this was something that she had never told Paul before. When Joanie arrived at the arena the first thing she did before trying to find Paul was go see the doctor Vince kept on staff just to make sure it was okay for her to compete tonight. She didn't want to do anything that might endanger the new little life that was growing inside of her.

"Um, excuse me, can you tell me where I can find Dr. Thomas at," Joanie asked on of the stangehands.

"Sure, Joanie he's down the hall, fourth door on the right. What's wrong not feeling well before your big match with Amy tonight."

"Yeah, just a little bit of nerves. See ya later," Joanie said as she started down the hall. When she reached the doctor's office she knocked on the door, and waited for him to invite her in. She didn't just walk in because she didn't want to intrude if there was already someone else in the room.

"Come in," a voice yelled from behind the door. With permission to enter Joanie pushed open the door walked into the room. "Hey, Joanie, how's it going?" Dr. Thomas asked.

"As well as can be expected in the circumstances."

"What, circumstances would that be? If you don't mind me asking."

"No, I don't mind you asking. In fact that's why I stopped by so that I could ask you about something. But, before I do, I wanted to know if the same patient/doctor confidentially rules apply here, like in a your real office."

"Of course, even though we aren't in my office those rules always apply, I took an oath. What was it that you wanted to talk to me about."

"Well, I've been feeling nauseous for a few weeks now and my period was late so before I came to the arena today I took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. So I wanted to make sure it was okay for me to wrestle tonight. I don't want to do anything that might jeopardize this pregnancy."

"Let me start by congratulating you and you should be fine for tonight. It's early enough in your pregnancy that by wrestling tonight you won't do any harm to your baby. But I would advise you not to wrestle much longer because the further along you get the greater the opportunity for risk of losing the baby."

"Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease. And, don't worry I don't plan on doing anything that might hurt my child. So if that means I can't wrestle for a while so be it," Joanie said as she shook the doctors had and then left the room to go find Paul.


Meanwhile, in his dressing room, in another part of the arena Paul was supposed to be getting ready for his I..C. strap match with Glenn(a.k.a. Kane) tonight, but he couldn't stop thinking about the ultimatum that Stephanie had given him earlier. "Shit, how the hell did my life get so complicated," he mumbled to himself. "God, tomorrow is really gonna suck. Joanie is going to be so hurt and lord knows that is the last thing I wanna do because a part of me still loves her and probably always will, but we've just grown so far apart and want different things now then when we started the relationship 4 years ago," Paul said still talking to himself quietly. Paul was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear Stephanie enter his dressing room for the second time that day. He only became aware of her when she put her arms around his neck and started kissing his ear.

"Hey, penny for your thoughts," she whispered.

"There not worth a penny. I was only thinking about my match with Glenn, and hoping that nothing goes wrong," he lied, not wanting her to get upset that he had been thinking about Joanie at the same time that he was removing her arms from around his neck.

"Don't worry. I know you guys are going to be great."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Now what is it that brings you back to my dressing room so soon?" asked Paul with a smile.

"I just wanted to let you know that Joanie has finally decided to grace us with her presences."

"Oh yeah, has she told anyone why she was so late." "No, no ones had the chance to talk to her yet. The first thing she did when she got here was go straight to see Dr. Thomas. I hope she doesn't try and pretend that she's sick so she can get out of her match with Amy tonight and ruin all the hard work I've put into the woman's division," Stephanie spit nastily.

"You know she wouldn't do that. Joanie takes a lot of pride in her wrestling and wouldn't do anything that might ruin her reputation has a champion. Whether it's being the I. C. champ or the woman's champ."

"Whatever, she just better follow the script and do what she's told if she still wants to be the champion after tonight. Look I gotta go, I only stopped by to tell you that she was here now," with that said Stephanie left the room. I hope nothing is wrong with Joanie, she did say she was running late today because she wasn't feeling well, Paul thought. Just then Paul heard a knock on his door, who now, he wondered.


As Joanie waited for Paul to open his door she wondered why they weren't sharing a dressing room, they always shared a dressing room. I wonder if this was the billion dollar brats idea, she was thinking when Paul opened the door. "Joanie, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off getting ready for you match with Amy." "Nice to see you to Paul," she said sarcastically. Not waiting for him to invite her in she pushed past him and walked into the dressing room with her bag. "Can you please explain to me why we're not sharing a dressing room." "Well, both Vince and JR thought that since we both had such big matches and had to do some backstage vignettes that it would be better if we had separate dressing rooms for tonight." "You mean Stephanie thought it would be better," she whispered beneath her breadth. "What, did you say Joanie I couldn't hear you?"

"I said that I agreed with them. But before I go to my own dressing room I really need to talk to you. It's important..........."

"I'm sorry Joanie it's going to have to wait," Paul cut her off. "I really need to start getting ready and so do you. We'll talk after the show or if it can wait how bout tomorrow when it's so much less hectic."

"Paul, it really can't wait...." " I said not now Joanie," he said loudly as he interrupted her again. "Fine, whatever. I don't need this shit right now." With that said she grabbed her bag and left the room and went to her own dressing room. What the hell's his problem, she thought as she started getting ready for her match. As the night wore on Joanie got together with Amy to go over the final preparations for the match she was also glad that she didn't get the chance to tell Paul about her pregnancy earlier because it just wouldn't have been the right time. He had a very tough match tonight and she didn't want him distracted. Little did she know that even though they hadn't talked Paul was still distracted.


When it came time for her match Joanie and Amy had a pretty decent match that she won. But, she knew that it could have been a lot better. She didn't want to do anything that might hurt her baby so she held back on some moves. When she got behind the curtain she apologized to Amy who said not to worry about it and went back to her locker room to watch Paul's match that was coming up soon. Paul and Glenn's strap match turned out to be a pretty brutal match with both men getting quite banged up though it looked like Paul might have got the worst of it. He also lost the title. Wanting to make sure that he wasn't to seriously injured Joanie got up to go check on him. She went to the trainers room first to look for him because it looked like he might need stitches, but he wasn't there. She then decided to check his dressing room because she knew that he still had to do a run-in in the main event and figured he was probably resting. When she finally reached his dressing room she noticed that the door was slightly ajar, when she went to push it open she couldn't believe what she was seeing. There in the middle of the room with their arms around each other stood Paul and Stephanie and she was kissing his neck and face and asking if he was alright.


"Paul, what the hell is going on here," Joanie cried desperately. At the sound of Joanie's voice the couple sprang apart. "Joanie, it's not what you think," Paul said. "Yes, it is," Stephanie replied. Which earned her a look from Paul. "I'm sorry Paul, but she had to know sooner or later and I told you I'm tired of hiding our relationship. It's not our fault we fell in love, these things just happen." "Paul, is what she's saying the truth?" When he didn't answer at first Joanie got mad. "Dammit, answer me. Is what she saying the truth." "Yes, it's the truth, but I never wanted you to find out this way. I didn't want to hurt you." Hearing the loud voices a bunch of wrestlers and workers came over to investigate. "How could you do this to me? How could you break my heart?" With that said Joanie turned and fled the room, pushing thru the people that had gathered round. "Joanie, wait...." "Let her go Paul." "I can't, I have to make sure she's okay." "You can't, you still have to do your run-in in the main event. Besides one of her friends will look after her." "Fuck, this isn't how I wanted her to find out." Finally noticing all the people that were standing by the door Stephanie yelled at them to leave, but Paul noticed Deborah. "Deborah can you please go and check on Joanie," asked Paul.

"I will check on her, but not because you asked me too you selfish bastard, but because she's my friend."

After Joanie fled Paul's locker room she ran straight to hers and grabbed her bag and went to her car so she could leave. She left the arena and drove for a few miles but she had to finally pull over because she was crying so hard she couldn't see and she didn't want to cause an accident. "How could he do this to me? How could he cheat on me and with that bitch Stephanie. Who he said he always hated?" she kept asking herself. After crying her eyes out for twenty minutes she was finally able to compose herself enough to wonder what she was going to do know. "I knew there had to be a reason that I checked out of the room early and brought all my things with me today," she mused. I don't want to be here anymore Joanie thought as she drove to the airport and turned in her rental car. She didn't know where she was going to go, only that it wouldn't be to Connecticut and the house she shared with that lying, cheating, no good bastard Paul. She would send someone to get her stuff when she was ready because she never wanted to set eyes on Paul again. I guess it's a good think I never got the chance to tell Paul about my pregnancy tonight. He probably would have demanded that I get an abortion so that it wouldn't interfere in his new life with Stephanie. There's nothing more inconvenient than having an ex-girlfriend that's pregnant when your trying to make a life with the new girlfriend, she thought to herself.



Well that's it for this chapter.........please review and tell me what you think of it........I should have the next part up in a couple of days........;)
