(A/N) Just thought I should mention, I changed the name of Edge's wife to Lana; I figure I really don't know that much about his real wife so I just didn't feel right about using her real name; no disrespect is intended to either her or Jessica in my story (who has got to be one of the luckiest women in the world.lol)***********
During the course of their lunch, Lori and Lana found they had a lot of things in common. A strong friendship was building between them and they planned to go shopping together sometime soon. Adam dropped Lori back at Jericho's around three.
"Thanks again, Adam," Lori told him. "For everything today."
"No problem, glad to be of service," He replied. "I've been off of work for awhile since my surgery; it's good to be able to do something for a change."
"OK, well I guess I'll be seeing you," Lori waved as she got out. "Goodbye Adam."
"Bye Lori," Adam returned and backed out.
Lori watched him go then turned and reentered the house. When she got near the door she heard the phone had been ringing. She rushed to unlock the door and scrambled to the phone as best she could. By the time she got there, however, the machine had picked up.

Lori grabbed the handset quickly, "I'm here Chris." but she found that he'd already hung up.
That very moment on a highway nearing Trenton, New Jersey.
"Damn!" Chris swore putting his phone away. "Where's she been all afternoon? Adam should have had her back hours ago," He complained bitterly.
"Relax Chris," Lance Storm told him from his back seat post. "I'm sure everything is fine."
"Maybe he invited her over to meet Lana?" Suggested Chris Benoit from the driver's seat.
"That's definitely something he'd do," Jason Reso agreed. "You need to chill, man, and get yourself prepared for the match tonight."
"Yeah, you're probably right, it's just that.." Chris didn't know how to explain it.
Benoit regarded him sympathetically, "I know Chris, I know."
Chris sighed and leaned back against the headrest and became lost once again in his thoughts. 'Focus Chris, Vince is counting on you tonight.' He berated himself mentally.
Meanwhile back in Florida....
Lori had discovered that Chris had been tried to call her four times throughout the day. 'I hope everything is all right,' She thought. Chris had sounded increasingly anxious the last two times he'd called. 'Well, I guess he'll call back if it is important,' She reasoned. And later that night he did, it was right about 6:30 when he got the chance.
"Hello?" Lori answered the ringing phone quickly this time.
"Lori, finally," Chris commented. "I was starting to worry. Where were you all day?"
"After the store, Adam invited me to come to his place for lunch," Lori explained. "Lana seems like a very nice person; we're going to go shopping on Saturday afternoon."
"Of course," Chris felt relieved. "I knew you two would hit it off."
"Where are you now?" Lori asked.
"I'm at the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey," Chris told her. "I wanted to see how you made out today."
"I'm well, Angel's annoyed at being locked up," Lori replied. "I was going to call a OB/GYN tommarrow and schedue the next appointment, I'll need at the end of the first trimester."
"When will that be?" Chris asked. "Will that be one I can go with?"
"In four weeks," Lori informed him. "Yes, that would be one you could go to; I think you'll be able to hear the heartbeat by then."
"Really?" Chris responded with excitement, "If you schedule it on a Wedsnesday afternoon or any time on a Thursday then I'll be able to be there."
"OK, it's a deal," Lori smiled.
"Great, see you Tuesday," Chris told her. "I've got to go now."
"OK, bye Chris," Lori told him.
"I love you, bye!" Chris returned and hung up the line.
'I love you?' Lori replayed the last phrase in her mind. 'Did he really say that? Did he really mean that?'
In New Jersey....
'Did I really say that out loud?' Chris was thinking. 'I miss her already,' He realized while feeling a bit melancholy. He remarked out loud, "it's going to be a long weekend;" and then sighed.
