Chapter 1
"If you want my future, forget my past, if you want to get with me, better make it fast, now don't go wasting my precious time, get your act together, we could be just fine."
"Eve?" The single word was enough for Eve Hall to hear the annoyance in Hunter's voice.
She turned her head around with a smile on her face. "Yes?" She sat on an expensive black leather sofa with an X-Box controller in her hands.
"Spice Girls?" He asked, walking into the living room of the Connecticut based home he shared with Eve and their unborn child. He had stood in the doorway for the last minute watching his soon-to-be wife sitting there playing the infernal WWE Raw video game and singing along quietly to the cheery music. He wasn't going to lie and say that it didn't make him a little less worried about her, she seemed to be in better spirits then earlier from her rude awakening much earlier that morning.
Eve shrugged. "I could play something moody if you want, but I'm sure the baby would probably enjoy this more." She absently laid a hand on her stomach.
"But Spice Girls?" Hunter frowned as he sat down beside her, draping an arm over the back of the couch and playing with the ends of her hair.
"Don't pick on my music, Hunter." Eve huffed, turning back to her game, un-pausing it and continuing to kick Trish Stratus's ass in a cage match.
"Mood swing." Hunter muttered.
"Mood swing my ass." She stated. "My mood is more then stable and you can go shove your head up your ass if you continue to think otherwise."
He raised an eyebrow in amusement. "I love you." He told her and kissed her cheek.
Eve pushed him away, focused completely on her current task, which including ramming Trish's head against the steel wall of the cell. "Mess me up and you'll pay big time, Hunter."
The phone rang and Eve froze.
Hunter stroked a hand down her hair before getting up to answer it, walking into the hallway to answer on the cordless phone.
Eve won her match and exited the screen. She laid the controller down and turned sideways on the couch so she could watch Hunter, faintly concerned that he stood there talking instead of coming back in with her. He had a hand leaning against the wall and his face was completely concentrated. Eve felt a chill creep up her spine as Hunter hung up the phone.
He took a second before looking over at her and holding her eyes in his for a moment. He walked over to her and she stood up to face him.
"What is it?" She asked quietly, noting the look of worry on his face.
Hunter ran his hands down her arms and took her hands in his. "That was Kevin."
"Nash?" Eve asked, already knowing the answer before he nodded. "It's about my father, isn't it?"
"I don't know." He shook his head. "He's coming here, he said he has something to tell us."
"But it's not good news, it's not just a joy visit to friends he hasn't seen in over a year to tell us all kinds of new stuff in his life." She bit her bottom lip and leaned her forehead against Hunter's chest. "God, Hunter, everything was going good, everything was perfect."
He wrapped his arms around her waist, gently laying his chin on her head. "I know, and it's going to stay that way, nothing is going to hurt what we have. I'll make sure whatever needs to be done to prevent Scott getting near us is done. Don't worry baby, he's not getting near you or our child."
Kevin Nash walked through the front hallway with Hunter beside him less then two hours later. They stopped at the doorway to the living room where Eve was sitting on the couch, her legs pulled up under her as she looked at the television screen. Hunter knew she was too far gone inside her own head to be paying any attention to what was flickering by on the screen.
"She's pale." Kevin said quietly, studying Eve. "Is she healthy?"
"Perfectly." Hunter told him.
"And the baby?"
"Couldn't be better." He stated. "She's sick in her own head though, I hate to say that, but she's been making herself physically ill over the last year through her own head." He frowned. "I worry about her."
"I'd say you have reason, Eve was always inside her own head, always thought too much." Kevin nodded, remembering. "But I always liked the girl."
"And you know you're being here isn't helping her any." Hunter looked up at him accusingly. "So you better damn well have good reason to be here."
"I do." He glanced at Eve before looking back at Hunter. "Is she…should she hear what I have to say?"
"Does she have reason to hear what you have to say?" Hunter asked and Kevin nodded. "Then she's going to hear." He led the way into their living room and sat down beside Eve. Kevin took a seat in a chair across from them and shuddered when Eve finally looked at him, he hated the lack of trust he saw in her eyes.
"Kevin." She said quietly, taking the television controller and clicking it off. "I know you two had a little conference over there, deciding to let me in on the little secret now?"
"I haven't told him anything yet, Eve." Kevin stated. "I thought you should be the first to hear this."
"Hear what?" Eve asked, watching him intensely.
Kevin took a deep breath. "Scott called me last night." He noted how her eyes got darker and how Hunter laid a hand over hers. "He's making his presence known in wrestling again, he thinks everything that happened has all blown over now." He paused for a second. "And he's blackmailing people into doing his bidding again, he tried with me last night."
"And?" Eve asked coldly.
"And I refused him, he got upset and told me that I'll regret that decision." Kevin looked from one to the other. "He's coming back to America."
"And he's coming back for me." Eve added quietly.
