**Ok, so I should no better than to try to get two chapters out on a
Monday, so I do apologize. Now that I'm working on two stories, I'm going
to alternate days and stories. So since I did "Everything Works" yesterday,
today will be "Christmas" and so forth. Thank you to Crystal,
Psychobunny410 and NoInkInMyPen for reviewing, and thanks for your
patience! **
Steph began searching backstage for Shane. She finally found him talking to a couple of the refs about the main event. She waited for him to finish.
Shane turned around, "Hey Steph, what's up?"
"When you have a free moment, I need to talk to you privately." She said slowly.
"I'm free, let's go find a room." Shane said.
Shane Helms was walking down the hall and laughed, "Shane-O, that doesn't sound good, you telling your sister to go find a room."
"Shut up Helms." Shane said to him.
Steph and Shane walked into a room and shut the door. "What's up?" Shane asked.
"Shane, I need to talk to you about something, but it's not easy for me to tell you." Steph said to him with sincerity in her voice.
"Alright, I'm guessing it's about Marissa. Let me have it. Don't beat around the bush, just tell me." Shane said taking a deep breath and running his hand through his hair.
"Shane, I talked to best friend Abby. She told her that she thinks she's pregnant already, but it might not be yours."
"WHAT?!?" Shane said furiously. "She slept around?"
"Apparently she had a one-night stand, realized that she stopped taking birth control because she wanted to surprise you with a baby, so she hasn't been taking her pill, and she didn't use protection with this other guy." Steph said reaching out to his hand, "Shane I'm so sorry."
"You have no reason to be sorry, but that little bitch will." Shane said angrily. He started to head for the door.
"Shane wait, where are you going?" Steph asked.
"I'm going to go and find her." Shane said through narrowed eyes.
"No. Don't go and do anything irrational. You guys signed that agreement stating that if either one of you is unfaithful, then they are no longer entitled to anything that the other person has, as long as you can prove it, that's all you need." Steph said trying to reason with him.
Shane slowly smiled, "That's right. I have to go and figure some stuff out." He hugged Steph, "Thanks sis." And he quickly headed out.

The rest of the evening at Raw, Matt had a blast. He loved being able to see his buddies that were on Raw. He roamed around, talked with some of the rookies, visited with his friends, and helped out wherever he could.
Jeff got backstage after his match and grabbed Matt, "We need to talk."
"What's up?" Matt asked.
Jeff dragged him into an empty room, "Look, I seen Stephanie with Paul today."
"Yeah, I know. They were talking about when she got jumped." Matt started to say when Jeff cut him off.
"No, I saw them, and they were holding hands, and as he left, he kissed her on the forehead. Matt, you need to keep an eye on them." Jeff started to say when Matt snapped.
"Jeff, stop. Just stop." He practically shouted. He started pacing back and forth, "I'm tired of this. I'm tired of you constantly trying to find something wrong with Steph, or our relationship. Look at Amy and I, we hold hands, I've kissed her, isn't that the same thing? She still cares about him, I know that. But, she is the type of person who wouldn't cheat. She would have the decency to break up with me first." Matt stopped and sighed, he looked at Jeff, and sounded like he was getting choked up, "Jeff, I have finally found someone who makes me happy, makes me feel like I really mean something to them. I am really happy with her. The only thing that could make me happier at this point is for you to just suck it up and be happy for me. I don't know why you can't do that for me."
"Matt, hold on. It's not that I don't want to be happy for you. I'm just trying to look out for you. I don't want her to hurt you." Jeff started to explain when Matt cut him off.
"I think that I'm able to look after myself. I appreciate your concern, but I would really appreciate it if you supported me in this and not trying to point out every flaw. I trust Stephanie, and I hope that one day you will too. But at this point, I hope that you can trust me and my decision." Matt said to him sternly.
Jeff frowned and hugged him, "Matt, I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me, I just wanted you to know."
Matt hugged him back, "Look, I'm not mad, but the way that you're acting is the reason why we're keeping it a secret from the locker room. If you see something like them having sex or something that drastic, then let me know. But for the other things, please give her the benefit of the doubt, ok?"
Jeff nodded, "Sorry bro. Let's go hit the locker room."
Matt smiled, "Sounds good."
**Ok, I know that I promised a long chapter, but I'm developing a little bit of writer's block. If anyone has any ideas that you would like to see, please let me know, you will get credit. Otherwise new chapter on Thursday!! Thanks for your patience!**
