When he entered the hospital room he saw Joanie standing off near the door, with a deer caught in the headlights look on her face, and another look like she wanted to get out and John was her easy way to it.

"How's my wonderful bride to be feeling? The doctor said there shouldn't be a lot of residual damage and that the baby looks to be growing and adapting just fine."

Trish threw Joanie a look like she really didn't know what to say to him and didn't know how to tell him that either, so Joanie signalled she understood and touched John gently on the arm, making him take his attention away from Trish for the moment.

"What?"

"John she just bumped into someone from your past, and although she doesn't know everything about her, what she thinks she knows is running havoc on her feelings."

"What are you trying to say here Joanie? That she thinks I knew that Noah was my son and that I've been cheating this entire time?"

"Given your past with Torrie don't you think she has every right to think that?"

John thought about that question for a moment. It was true, Trish did have every right to think that he was stepping out on her. But as much of a right as she had to believe it, it didn't make it true, and that's what he had come to the room to try to explain to her.

"I didn't know about Noah until about five minutes ago, for what its worth Joanie. What I came in here to do was talk to her and make her see that for once her fears aren't reality and the only family I am thinking about is the one I want to have with her."

"I believe you John, but you might need to work really hard to make her believe it. I think she knows you well enough to know you didn't do what she thinks you did, but at the same time the pregnancy is making her mind run off in ways it shouldn't."

"Well thanks for the heads up, but if you don't mind do you think I can talk to her alone for a minute?"

"Certainly. I am sorry that you have to go through all of this again John. If you need anything I will be right outside."

"Thanks."

He watched as Joanie left the room and when the door was shut all the way he tuned himself and his body back into the silence around the both of them. He had no idea what the right thing to say was, but he knew he had to start somewhere, so he let the words just tumble from his lips.

"Baby, just hear me out alright, it's not what you think it is."


As soon as Joanie got outside of the room she noticed the young woman off to the side, gripping her son tightly and assumed this had to be the woman that was wreaking havoc on her best friends life.

She made her way over to where the woman stood, but before she could even utter one word there was a large commotion as someone ran off the elevator, almost smacking into her. When she looked up, ready to yell at the intruder, she noticed it was a very alert Kurt Angle.

"Where's the fire man?" she asked, trying to lighten the moment which was noticeably frazzled by making a joke.

"I got a call from John, saying that Trish had been rushed to the hospital and that it might be something to do with the baby."

"The baby is fine and she is fine, listen why don't we have a seat over there and I can fill you in on what happened?" she demanded that he do it more then asking him too, and when he took the first step and sat down, she followed suit.

"So why don't you tell me what happened here Joanie?"

"Well first you have to promise me that you will not take John's head off when I am finished."

Kurt didn't like the sound of that, he had hoped that the stupid moments in John's life were over now that he and Trish were minutes from walking down the aisle, but apparently he had been wrong.

"What the hell did he do now?"

"He has a son, and before you yell at me, he didn't know about it until about five minutes ago."

"What does any of this have to do with my girl?" he said obviously meaning Trish. Kurt and her had been friends since a party where she had the chance to get to know his wife. Ever since then he had been like a bigger brother, wanting what was best for her.

"Apparently this woman showed up at John's locker room and Trish had thought she was a fan sneaking backstage. It was there that it was confirmed that she wasn't a fan but she was there to show John his son. She passed out and hit her head on the floor on the way down, because John stunned didn't get to her in time. So that's why she is here. She is fine, he is startled still but it looks like nothing damaging has been done physically."

"Where is this woman now?"

"Just over there with the little boy. I was going to have a few words with her before I went back to check on John and Trish." She answered, motioning over to where the young boy sat with the tight lipped woman.

"Well what the hell are we waiting for. She came here to cause a scene so why don't we give one too her?"


"What do I think it is?"

"She is a woman I knew over three years ago. We were pretty close, and when I got my contract to come out here, she basically picked up and dumped me. It took me a very long time to get over her, but once I met you she wasn't anything but a memory."

"So you haven't talked to her or had contact with her since the day you left town and came here to the WWE? Do you really think I am going to believe that?"

"Yes I do, because it's the truth damn it."

"The two of you had a child together and knowing you the way I think I do, or well thought I did, you wouldn't just get up and walk away from your own child. Its heartless and mean and that hasn't been you. At least not since we got together."

"She just told me that Noah was mine Trish. I didn't have a clue when I left back then, and I didn't have a clue until she cornered me now."

Trish wanted to believe him, but her heart was in pain. She felt like she was dying from the inside out. When they had gotten together earlier in the year and gotten past all of the pain of Torrie and her accident, she had thought that they had beaten everything.

Now out of the blue comes a son he claims to never have known, and the threat of it looming over their happiness together. She couldn't deal with any more pain if she wanted their child to be born alright.

"With everything that is happened why should I believe you?"

"Because you love me Trish. You might not believe me now, but if you look deep inside your heart you will know I didn't plan any of this. I love you, and the family we were going to have, I wouldn't have done shit to ruin that."

She turned her head to the side as he spoke, silently willing him to leave the room and just walk away from her now. She loved him, he knew it and she knew that he was right about it, but at that moment in time, the pain of learning her fiancé had a child and a family before her, well it was just too much to bear.

If John already had a child, and a woman that obviously still loved him, where did she fit into the equation?

When she turned her head around, she noticed he was no longer standing in front of the bed, and the only sound throughout the room was that of her breathing and the door as it swung closed behind her.
