"Lita's Dilemma (4/?)

Walking down the hall side by side to Vince McMahon's office had to be one of the most nerve-wrecking things that either Lita or Chris Jericho had to do in their life. What they were doing was not only going to impact their personal lives, but their professional lives too. They were going to fess up that Lita was pregnant and that Chris was the father. So in other words they were going to tell Mr. McMahon that his storyline was actaully true, partially at least.

They approached McMahon's office door, Jericho brought his hand up to knock but had it knocked out of the way by Lita. "First off Jerky don't go in here and start making an ass out of yourself, OK. This is a very important discussion we are going to be having with Mr.McMahon here and I don't want you going in there and acting like an immature 12 year-old alright?", Lita said.

"Oh, Lita sweetheart I would never act like an immature 12 year-old. I would act an immature 15 year-old.", Chris sarcastically said with the dumbest grin on his face.

Lita smacked him on the arm, "Stop it Chris! Quit acting stupid, OK? This is serious so if you're ready I'll knock now?"

"Alright already I'm done acting immature. You can go ahead and knock, baby.", Chris said. "Did I just call her baby? What is wrong with me, you don't call Red baby."

"Did he just call me baby? What is wrong with you blondie, you actually treating me with a little respect? Well, whatever it ain't going to change anything so just shake it off Lita you don't need another added complication to your life already, OK."

Lita raised her hand and knocked and waited for a reply. She heard a muffled "Come in" from Mr. McMahon. Chris opened the door and put his hand on the small of Lita's back to politely usher her in to Vince's office. Vince raised his head from a script he was looking at on his desk and was a little suprised to see Lita and Chris in his office.

"Hello Lita, Chris! What can I do for you two this evening? A problem with your scripts?", Vince evenly asked the pair.

Lita and Chris sat down side by side on the couch in front of Vince's desk. "No, no sir. No problems with our storylines or the script. We just have something that is of a personal nature we need to tell you.", Lita said.

"Now, now Lita my dear. How many times have I told you to call me Vince?"

"Many times, Vince. Sorry.", Lita whispered.

"There is nothing to be sorry for, Lita. So what is it you need to tell me?", Vince asked.

"Well, Vince what I have to say will effect my storyline greatly.", Lita said

"Well out with it. What is it?"

Lita said, "I'm pregnant!"

To say that Vince was shocked that was an understatement, well OK maybe not it wasn't an understatement. By the look on his face it was utter amazement. He finally gained his capacity for speech back by saying, "You are really pregnant?"

"Yes, Vince I am really pregnant. So the storyline you are running now is at least partially true."

"Oh my. Well Congratulations are in order I am happy for you and the father whomever he is.", Vince said as casually as possible.

"Thank you. Yeah, the father of my baby is happy about..."

But before Lita could finish what she was about to say Chris finally spoke up for the first time since coming into the room, "Yes, Thank you Vince. I am very happy to be becoming a father."

For the second time within a five-minute period Vince was shocked yet again, "Jericho you are the father of Lita's baby? I didn't even know you two were seeing each other."

"Yes, I am the father. And no know one knew because we didn't want anyone to know. We just wanted to keep it between ourselves for a while, it's been a little over a year actually." Chris answered with all the coolness "The King of the World" possessed.

Now it was Lita's turn to be shocked. "What the hell is he talking bout saying we were seeing each other. Sure we went out a few times, but it was alot more sex involved though. Then again he could be just trying to be gentlemen and protect your reputation for you, you fool. Not everyone is a cold-hearted bastard. Chris is a genuinely nice guy. He actually wants to be apart of your baby's life and be a father and to be apart of you life to you idiot. He might actaully care about you."

"Yes, Vince we just wanted to keep our relationship to oursleves for awhile, but now we know it will have to come out in public.", Lita said.

Chris turned to Lita and gave her the most beautiful smile she had ever seen on his face and mouthed a silent "Thank You" to Lita where Vince couldn't see for going along with his explanantion and subsequent story.

"Well, Congratulations are in order for the both of you. I am happy for the both of you.", Vince said to Lita and Chris while smiling at them both.

"Thank you, Vince.", they both answered in unison.

"So as you know Lita the plans I had for you are actually going to have to be put on the shelf now. You are not to wrestle at all while you are pregnant, I really don't know if you should be out at ringside at all now or if you should be allowed to travel at all really? But I will leave that up to you, Chris, and you doctor's discretion. This will also necessitate a change in your current storyline. I am going to somehow take you out of your storyline with Kane and Matt Hardy. And I am going to somehow, with the grace of God, put you out there with as Chris's manager and we will incorporate you real-life pregnancy into the your storyline and explain that Chris is really the father of the child you are carrying. Does that sound alright with you two?", Vince asked.

Chris jumped in first and said, "I think that is brilliant, Vince. I woud feel more comfortable if I knew she was working with me that way I can watch out for my girl's. Make sure they are both safe."

"Good then. Lita?"

"I think it's a good idea too Vince. I would feel more safe and comfortable too.", Lita said not even chancing a look to see the smug grin on Y2J's face.

"Well great then we are all in agreement then. So if you two will excuse me and I will get together with our writers and get cracking on that new storyline for you two. I will let you know something as soon as something is thrown together, but it should be finalized by the next time RAW comes around. Again congratulations you two."

Chris and Lita stood up off the couch and walked out of Vince's office. Chris grabbed Lita's hand and intertwined their hands and he opened the door for her and then they walked out and down the hall in silence toward Jericho's locker room. Jericho opened the door to his locker room and let Lita in first. Once Jericho was in side and the door was shut and locked. He grabbed Lita by the arm and whirled her around to face him and by this time Lita was quietly crying and Chris saw this and said, "Hey Li, baby. What's wrong? Everything went fine with Vince didn't it?"

"Yeah it did. Thank you for that, for everything you did and said in there. I am just scared. My life is changing so rapidly within the span of 24 hours. I mean I..I mean we have a baby on the way within seven months and how am I going to take care of a little, defenseless, innocent baby. I mean I can't even take care of myself very well. I can't be a mother, I won't be any good at it. Hell my own mother was horrible. So how am I going to take care of another person who will depend wholly upon me?", Lita said while crying.

Lita's eyes were cast down toward the floor. Chris took his hand and and lifted Lita's chin until her shimmering, hazel-eyes met his sparkling blue ones. "First off there is no need to be scared. I am going to be there for you and our baby the whole way through this you hear me. You and our child can depend upon me for anything. Second, you are going to be great mother. No matter how your mother acted you are not like that. Lita you are the most honest, sweet, kind-hearted, and loving person I know. So I know this baby is going to have the greatest mother in the world, you. Heck this baby is going to love you as much as I do."

Lita went completely still after Chris uttered that last sentence "Ahh, crap that was such the wrong thing to say right now. No matter how much it is the truth."

Lita whispered," You..you.. you love me Chris?"

Chris sighed "Yes, Lita I do and I have for a very long-time"

Lita threw her arms around Chris's neck and buried her face in his shirt and started crying in earnest now. Big, hiccupping sobs now. "I am sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear. But I couldn't lie to you, not any longer at least." Chris was now hugging her back by now and was holding on to her for dear life as if she were a life-preserver and he was drowning.

"Oh, Chris. I've wanted to hear you say that for so long. I just didn't think you felt like that about me. I have had feelings like that about you for a long time."

"I need to hear you say it Red.", he asked with a hint of desperation in his voice.

"I love you, Chris. I love this baby of ours very much. I want us to be a family somehow."

"God, Lita. I love you too. I love our baby very much too and I know how we can be a family?", Jericho said.

"How's that Chris?", Lita aske with a hint of confusion tinged in her voice.

"Marry me?"
