A/N: Don't anyone panic, one bad review isn't going to kill me. so they
didn't like it, I'm not going to die, as long as I got my loyals and ya'll
love Ray I'm going to do the damn thing. And here's the mystical moment
you've all been waiting for...
"I can't believe what I've just done, I must be on some serious drugs," John muttered as he lay next to the sleeping Jayda. What have I done?
What a ride, Ray thought as she snuggled next Shane in bed, what a bike.
It feels so good to be lying next to her again, Shane thought. How I've missed this.
"So how is everyone in the WWE? Anything interesting happened in my absence?"
Gee there's the understatement of the decade. How do I explain to my darling that her boyfriend is the rotten scoundrel that he is?
"Hello?" Ray answered her cell phone. "John!"
Shane rolled his eyes, boy has he got a lot of nerve to be calling her after what he's preparing to put her through.
"Hello?" Shane answered his cell phone.
"I hope you're sitting down for this." Shannon said.
"What's up Shannon?"
"You should see this killer bike I have now," Ray told John, "Daddy got it for me for my birthday. I help design it and everything. It's so beautiful."
"I'm happy for you ma." John said quietly, "I've missed you, how you been lately?"
"He fuckin' did what?" Shane shrieked, "Shannon, you're kidding,"
"Oh sure Shane I would play about something like this."
"Yeah, Shane's with me, that's who's screaming in the background, don't you worry though, I've been great. I'm so ready to return to the ring."
"Well we all miss you."
"Aww, I miss all my guys too. I know it's been so hard there without me."
"I'm going to smash his fuckin' lying face in. I'm going to kill him."
"Shane, is Ray with you??"
"Yeah, she's sitting right beside me. She's on the phone with John."
"Oh you have got to be shittin' me!" Shannon shouted.
"Nope not in the least."
"I know, I have had so much fun, but I'm ready to mix it up in the ring."
"No one misses you more than me I think." John said. "When you get back I think I want to talk to you about something really important, okay?"
Ray's heart fluttered, "Sounds bad,"
"What is he saying to her Shane?"
"I don't know Shannon okay, one thing at a time, you are telling me that,"
"Well don't repeat it if she's sitting there with you genius."
"Something tells me no one is telling her this either,"
"I don't think so, Jeff, Jay, Adam, Matt and I think it's high time we had a little chat with him."
"Oh no you don't, not until I get there."
"No, Shane the way you are feeling right now the last thing you are going to want to do is talk."
"Oh that's where you are wrong Shannon, I'm going to let my hands do the talking."
"See that's what we're talking about. We don't need that right now."
"What is this surprise John, will I like it?"
"You'll just have to just get your beautiful ass down here and find out."
Ray smirked, "I have a little surprise for you too."
"Oh really, will I like it?"
"You'll just have to wait until I get my beautiful ass down there to find out. See you in L.A."
"See you." John sighed, "Ray,"
"Yeah John."
"I love you ma."
"I love you too John."
"Meanwhile, who is going to tell her?"
"I'll call you back with those details."
"Okay Shannon."
"Later man."
Shane and Ray clicked their cell phones at the exact moment. "So who was that?"
"Don't worry about it."
"You sounded upset,"
"You know how I get sometimes."
"Yeah, so tell me,"
"Anything,"
"Anything totally interesting happen while I was going on while I was gone?"
"Nothing really, we got a new diva,"
"Really, what's her name?"
"Secret,"
"Mmhmm, how interesting."
"Don't get too excited Ray please," Shane rolled his eyes.
"Any word on Joanie's return?"
"I haven't heard anything, maybe you can ask Vince when you get back."
"Yeah," Ray sighed, she was getting a bad feeling. She didn't know why but she didn't want to meet this chick.
"You excited?"
"Oh yeah," Ray's voice perked up then, "I really miss competing."
"And we miss competing against you."
"You're just saying that."
"No the boys miss you, for real."
Ray smiled, God she was pretty when she smiled, if she would just smile for me all day, I would die a happy man. Shane wrapped his arms around Ray's waist and held her close to him. Why did he just lie to her?
************************************************************************
The boys went to knock on John's door, Jayda answered, "Oh, John's in the shower, he should be out in a second."
Those of them that weren't shaking in anger just nodded. Soon John emerged wearing a towel.
"What's up, is Ray back yet?"
"No, John we need to talk, you have a choice on whether or not you want to talk in front of he and her," Adam spoke up, his voice was strained.
"Jayda will you excuse me?"
Jeff handed her his room key, "You can stay in my room for the time being."
"Thank you, John hon, I'll see you in a few."
John just nodded and watched as she and his son walked out the door. As soon as the door clicked Adam rushed for John only to be intercepted by Jay.
"Yo, yo, Adam chill, chill."
"You bastard, your motherfucker," Adam screamed.
Matt helped Jay to restrain Adam, "Adam, please, we need you to calm down."
Adam stood next to the door, which was furthest from John, but the boys knew they had to keep an eye on him, he was on the verge of snapping, they could all see it.
"I think you have some serious explaining to do John," Shannon said somewhat calmly.
"I know that." John put his head in his hands.
"Oh don't you start with that crying shit now," Adam took another leap at John.
"Adam," Jay caught him, "relax."
John looked up, tears running down his cheeks, "Do you think this is easy for me?"
"Easy for you?" Adam shouted, he took a picture of Ray out his jacket pocket, "Look at her," John turned away, "I said look goddamnit."
"Look at the picture John," Shannon said quietly.
"Look at the fuckin' picture John," Adam threw it at him, "Look."
John picked up the picture staring at it, "She gave this too you?"
"The day you all took it, she brought it too me, smiling her head off, she gave it to me asked me to frame it and she was going to give it to you for being such a kind and loving boyfriend." Adam spat the words at him, "Read the back."
John sighed, "Dear John, I know putting up with me is not the easiest thing in the world, but you do it, with very minimal complaint and I love you so much. Love Ray. Oh my God,"
"Yeah, oh your God." Adam sneered, "You need to let that girl so she can go on with being who she is."
"I love her," John said.
"Oh that's real obvious." Adam rolled his head.
"You know I have had just about enough of you I think."
"There's the understatement of the day," Jay said.
"Meaning?"
"We're sick of you. You know we are going to call Shane and as of today you don't have a girlfriend." Jay stated calmly.
"And if you do her name certainly isn't Ray Jacobs."
"Isn't that up to Ray decide?"
"Oh come of it." Matt said, "you know as well as I do as soon as she hears about this she is going to go off."
"Which is why this shouldn't go any further than this room."
"And why is that?"
"Because when Ray comes back to the WWE I plan to ask her to marry me."
For a while no one said anything, they just all looked around at each other thinking that the boy in front of them had lost his damn mind.
"You are so fuckin' selfish." Adam screamed finally.
"What do you mean?" John asked, "You all want me to fix the situation right?"
"Fix it, not make it worse John. This is not what we had in mind, meanwhile while she is making wedding plans walking around humming here comes the bride ever stop to think that she might want to know you are a father."
"Jayda and I can work this out, Ray never has to know about lil' John."
"And you think that she is just going to go along with her and her child being a skeleton in that dark closet of yours? John you're being very unfair to both Jayda and the baby."
"Hey I have to look out for Ray's best interest,"
"Oh so now you're doing this for her? All this is for Ray?"
"Of course I'm doing this for her, who else would I be doing it for?"
Adam threw his hands in the air. "I'm done, he's crazy, he's is out of his damn mind. That's it, I've had it, somebody call Shane."
"No," John lunged for Jeff's phone.
But Shannon had walked out the door cell phone in hand.
"Shane,"
"Yeah?"
"Where's Ray?"
"She's out on her bike, why what's going on?"
"It's John, the man has lost his mind."
"Tell me something I don't know."
"As you wish, he's planning on asking Ray to marry him."
"Oh you have got to be shittin' me."
"Wish I were, but I'm not, and we know that he and Secret are sleeping together again for sure now."
"Oh my God. What happened?"
"Well I hope that they got Adam out of there before he kills him, but we just mainly talked to him."
"Yeah well you tell Adam to let Mark handle that, I'm pretty sure between the two of them they could do some colossal damage."
"You know you're right, but meanwhile, the boys think that maybe you all should also tell her before she gets back here."
"Shannon are you sure he isn't going to tell?"
"He said and I quote that he and Jayda were going to work something out so that Ray never has to know about their son,"
"Like Jayda is going to go for that."
"Same thing Adam said."
"I can't believe this."
"Can't believe what?" Ray asked.
"Shannon is telling me something," he said looking up at her in that leather, her hair falling down her back in waves, "I have to go dude, Ray's here."
"Thank you dude. Tell her we love her."
"I will," he hung up the phone, "Sit down beautiful, I have to talk to you." He patted the bed next to him.
"What's going on, you sounds so serious,"
"This is serious, I'm afraid I have some bad news, some terrible news."
"What, what is it?" Ray's eyes grew wide she was frantic.
"It's about John?"
"Is he okay?" Ray thought she was going to over heat.
"Physically he is fine, mentally," Shane shook his head, "is a different story altogether."
"I don't understand, Shane,"
"He's, well he's, remember when I told you we got a new diva."
"Yeah?"
"Well her name is Jayda, she's John's ex-girlfriend,"
"What?!"
"Wait love, it gets worse,"
"Did you just call me love?" Ray's grey eyes swam with tears.
"Yeah, why?"
"Corey used to call me that."
"I'm sorry,"
"It's okay. What else," the tears fell down her face
"No honey, I'm sorry," he fell silent.
"I'm strong enough to handle this, tell me what's going on Shane."
"Well we have reason to believe that the reason she left in the first place is because she was pregnant,"
"Is it John's?"
"She said it is. I don't know, we do know they slept together tonight."
"Oh my God." Ray's entire chest heaved.
"No, beautiful, don't you do that. Calm down, relax, and breathe. Breathe Ray, don't do this to me please relax."
"Where...is....my...father?" she breathed.
"I'll go get him."
"Never mind, just, just," she burst into tears.
Shane never wanted her more than he wanted her right then, he took her in his arms and kissed her. Her body went completely pliant.
"Oh Ray," he breathed against her neck, "tell me do you want this?"
Ray was afraid to speak, afraid that her own voice would ruin this tender moment. Shane took her silence for fear, don't be afraid, please he chanted.
"I just want you to know I love you. I love you so much." He whispered against the hollow of her navel. "I never want to let you go."
"Then don't," she whispered as her back arched pleasurably. "I love you."
"I can't believe what I've just done, I must be on some serious drugs," John muttered as he lay next to the sleeping Jayda. What have I done?
What a ride, Ray thought as she snuggled next Shane in bed, what a bike.
