Summary: Sequel to Falling Apart. Trish and John are about to be married, with baby making a perfect three. Their lives seem complete, but what happens when a mystery woman from John's past makes her presence known, throwing the future of our happy couple up in the air?
A/N: As usual thanks you Trish Rocks for the reviews and keep them coming, I enjoy hearing from you, keeps the ideas flowing.This will be a short chapter, but the next one will be the normal long length. I'm glad you liked Kurt showing up, I like writing him, especially in that last chapter. Kurt to the rescue!!
"You mind telling me what the hell you think you're doing here?" Kurt asked, low enough so that he didn't alarm the little boy standing closely to the side of his mother. He had kids of his own, the last thing he wanted to do was scare this one.
The woman turned around, and both Kurt and Joanie noted that she was attractive and looked a little like Trish in some features, which gave away the reason John had been so attracted to her no doubt.
"I came here to allow my son the chance to get to know his real father."
"At the expense of the little boys father's pregnant fiancée? Yeah that seems like a very good plan. What's your real game here lady?" Joanie choked out. No one was going to take advantage of her friend and get away with it.
Samantha looked Joanie up and down, deciding whether or not to give the woman the time of day. From watching wrestling in the last little while, she knew of the man before her as Kurt Angle, but the woman remained unknown.
"I had no idea who the woman was outside his locker room. Whether you choose to believe that or not is your own business, but I came here for one reason and one reason only."
"Yeah so you say, to reunite the little boy with his father. Why didn't you think of doing that three years ago? He is three right?"
"Yes he is three, but I didn't come sooner because I didn't think that this little glitch would fit into John's plans as a wrestler. As it turns out not knowing his father is not exactly right for my little boy either."
"Again, something you should have thought about three years ago."
The woman looked hurt by the remark, possibly because she had known the same thing and relived it over and over again for three years. As much as Kurt wanted to wrap his hands around her throat at that moment, he could also see where she was coming from. This was one hell of an awful situation.
"Noah needs his father, as much as I don't want him too know him."
"You don't think John would be a good father?"
"No, he would be good I know that. Listen, I don't think its right that I am here right now. Its obvious that your main concern is the young woman in the hospital room. I needn't be here to take you away from that."
Joanie was sick of Samantha already. Just sitting here listening to the conversation between Kurt and her, she was pissed off. Samantha had obviously known that John had to have moved on, and chose this moment for a reason. There had to be more then one reason for her showing up right now. Was it possible she was still in love with him and hoped to bring him back home with her and their son?
"For once you say something that isn't totally selfish. Why don't you get the hell out of here and let Trish and John deal with this the proper way."
Samantha stood from chair, obviously ready to make an exit but before she could, John came storming from Trish's room, an obvious look of hurt in his eyes. Kurt had seen this look too many times on his young friends face. Something hadn't worked out the way he expected it too and he needed to step away for awhile.
"Samantha, get Noah and meet me out front. I am going to take you to a nearby hotel and get the two of you situated. I think this is as good a time as any to get to know my son."
Acknowledging Kurt's presence, he nodded and walked out the opposite way from which he had come. It was obvious to Joanie, who knew that look in his eyes, that Trish hadn't excepted what he had told her. It looked like the ball just fell into the wrong court.
Grabbing Samantha by the arm before she could scurry away, Joanie looked deep into the woman's eyes.
"Listen, Trish and John have gone through hell to be together, and they now have a baby and a wedding on the way. I don't have to tell you how much of an issue there would be if that get messed with. So keep your distance, or it wont just be your business anymore. I will be making it mine."
Watching her walk away after the warning, Joanie had a sick feeling in her stomach. As much as Trish was hurting she had to listen to what John was saying, or she might just loose the man of her dreams to his other family.
