Chapter 22

Mandy's POV

The next day, Adam had to go back on the road. It was kind of a relief because I really didn't feel like continuing the fight or telling him about the baby. I tried to pretend like everything was okay around Adam, but the little incident made it impossible. He left Danny to spend a week with the Raw crew and me. Before she left, my mom picked up that something was wrong between Adam and I and decided she needed to talk to me about it while Danny was watching a movie in the next room.

"What is going on with you and Adam? He seemed really upset when we got home yesterday."

"It's a really long story..." I stated but never finished. I had no intention of getting into the whole thing.

"Are you fighting?"

"Not really...I don't know...I guess so."

"Good, you can get rid of him and his chin and get with that fine, Clydesdale of a man, Chris! Now he is more suited for you!" I laughed a little.

"Mom, what do you have against Adam?"

"I don't have anything against him. He is a very nice boy and Danny is adorable. You just don't seem very happy...and Chris is just a sexy hunk of man meat!"

"MOTHER! Seriously, you need to remember that I have to work with these people. I don't think I can ever look at him the same again now!" I replied.

"Well tell me what is going wrong with Adam then..." she insisted. As she spoke, the front door opened and in walked Chris with two boxes of pizza.

"Thought I'd bring over some dinner." He stated heading for the kitchen.

"I hope you are planning on eating all of that," I announced as he plopped down beside me shoving a slice into his mouth.

"Don't worry, it'll all get eaten," He assured me with his mouth full of food. Danny heard all of the commotion and ran into the room.

"JERBEAR!" she cried as she dove at Chris. He sat down his pizza and hugged the tiny girl.

"Hey kid, how's it goin?" He asked.

"Jerbear?" I questioned looking at Danny from across the couch.

"Didn't you ever hear of a carebear?" She asked and I nodded. "Well he is my Jerbear! You know, because he is Jericho!" My mom laughed and I just rolled my eyes. I was exhausted. Having mom, Adam and Danny there for even one night was a lot of work. Especially since I felt like I was on the defensive the entire time. I rested my head on Chris's shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Yeah Tish, I'm her Jerbear," He stated putting an arm around me. I snuggled closer to him searching for any sort of comfort. He just sat there eating his pizza.
