Never Say Never

Chapter 22

Paul and Lorelei were both on edge. In the next couple days the doctor that Paul had found would have the results of the DNA test in. Things would either very slowly get to go back to normal or things would change forever. There wasn't going to be a happy in between. Paul knew that. Lorelei knew that. It was something that they might have to accept.

Paul noticed that despite her attempts to be positive about it and figure out constructive solutions whatever the DNA test said, it wasn't working very well. He wasn't even really finding a way that he, Lorelei, and Stephanie could really make this situation work. The emotions just ran to deep for them to push aside, even for an innocent child.

"So," Lorelei said trying to ease the tension, "you excited to be able to get in the ring Monday?" That was a safe subject for the moment.

"Don't you know it. The only thing that I'll miss is not having you by my side," Paul said. He knew that it was easier talking about this than anything going on in their personal life. "I don't like you getting the story line with Randy. I don't like you being in a story line with anyone."

"I'm not exactly comfortable with it either, but what can we do?" Lorelei asked. "I feel weird pretending to be the love interest of someone who I considered a brother. It's something we're going to have to deal with. We knew we would end up being in story lines with other people."

"Yeah, I guess it will happen eventually. Now you'll hear the crowd chanting your name instead of derogatory remarks," Paul said. "It's more of a rush when you make them love you than when you make them hate you for normal people."

"I'll miss the chants thought. It was fun being able to prove that I could make people hate me. People always said I was so quiet and sweet. I guess like you I'm not exactly a normal person," Lorelei told him.

"I know you're anything except normal. I mean you somehow managed to make me fall in love with you, especially after Stephanie," Paul told him. "I know that we'll make it no matter what anyone trys to do to get us apart."

"I still feel like pushing her down the stairs or something," Lorelei honestly admitted, "but I won't because it would be stooping to her level." She was mentally cursing her morals. She wanted so badly to get some sort of revenge.

"I know. Remember what goes around comes around. She'll get hers eventually. You can be there to laugh at her when that happens," Paul reassured. "Things always catch up with people."

"Then what about you Mr. I'm-The-Game?" Lorelei said. "You've done some pretty cruel stuff even out of the ring."

"This would be the getting what I deserve," Paul said. "Whether or not the baby's mine the tension and stress and everything is my just desserts. Well that, and having you out of my life for the few weeks you were dating Chris. That just drove me absolutely insane."

"You should thank Mr. Irvine. He's the one that made me realize that I wasn't ready to call us quits yet," Lorelei said knowing that would drive him even more insane.

------------------------

Stephanie was waiting anxiously. She was almost positive that this baby couldn't be anyone except Paul's, but a few nights after the thing with Paul she was drunk and wasn't exactly sure that had gone on. She knew that was the one downfall she had. She could only pray that she had done something to deserve that things go her way.

She had dropped the subject of Paul with pretty much everyone that was still close to her, as she knew that it was driving lots of them absolutely crazy. She decided that right now she needed all the allies and support that she could get. That little bitch that Paul felt the compelling need to take back still might be able to convince him that he didn't need her or the baby in his life, or she could get pregnant, then Stephanie knew that Paul would choose Lorelei over her.

Stephanie was honestly going to go crazy pretty soon. She hated the fact that at the rate she was going she was going to end up being the other woman forever. She knew that this baby wasn't goinh to make Paul want her. She'd messed that up on her own. The hormones had messed with the way she as thinking. She had yet to come up with an idea of how to get Paul back. It was rather annoying. She didn't think that anything good was going to come of this.

Mabye it would have been best for her to just kept this to herself, and she would have figured out a way to do this on her own. Then she wouldn't be feeling the strange emotion that she was feeling. She thought it was guilt. She didn't need this right now. She didn't need any of the unfamiliar emotions that she was feeling right now.

She needed something to wash away the many emotions she was feeling. She wished a simple bubble bath would to the trick but she knew that it wouldn't. She was going to scream or something, but that wouldn't really do anything to help her make sense out of anything that was going on.

------------------------

That night was rather interesting for Paul and Lorelei. For the first time ever they got to pretend they hated each other. For Lorelei it took all she had in her to get through the whole live segment without cracking a smile. The moment seh was behind the curtian she was laughing. She coudln't beleive that she just got away with calling her husband an asshole and there as nothing that he could do about it.

Paul however didn't find it quite so funny. Maybe because he knew that there was a time that had hinted at it and mean it. She had practically called him an ass the first time they met. It wasn't as funny as Lorelei was making it out to be. Though he had to admit that it was hard to be serious at repeating the names that he had told the fans more times than he could count that she wasn't. It was hard to not smile at her and just smirk in her direction.

"That was great guys," Randy said. "It was really convincing. I'd hate to see if you two really hated each other."

"I'm not going to comment. I'd probably get myself into more trouble than it's worth," Paul said.

"Me either," Lorelei agreed. "What happens after your match tonight?"

"The one that I'm supposed to try and convince you to not come out with? The one that Paul's supposed to win," Randy asked though he knew that she didn't need any clarification.

"No the match that you're supposed to have to shade you head over," Lorelei said sarcastically. "What match did you think I was talking about?"

"Your supposed to comfort me and we're supposed to have a romantic kiss. It's pretty lame I know, but I didn't write the stuff," Randy said. "It's kind pretty strange, and I'd rather not end up dead sometime tonight."

"You won't. I know it wasn't your idea. However, if that ever ever gets out then I will have to kill you," Paul said. "I do have a repuation to worry about, and if you ruin that then you'll regret it."

"That almost sounded like a threat, but you wouldn't hurt me,"Randy said. "She wouldn't let you hurt me, at least to much."

"You think that he listens to me?" Lorelei asked. "If you think he does you've got another thing coming. He doesn't listen to anyone even himself sometimes." Lorelei just smirked at her husband.

"You're asking for it," Paul said with a smirk, and Randy just left. They were getting way to mushy for his tastes.

Lorelei and Paul continued thier conversation in between making out. They knew it wasn't appropriate behavior for the workplace, but they were still in newly wed mode.
