Chapter 9
"Whoa….wait a minute! Vince said as he put his hand up. "Okay. If you're the father, then tell me a few details. How did you know she's here? How did it all start? Why didn't you say anything before?"
"Erm…"
"Look, I don't need any crap right now. So just tell me everything 'cause your job maybe on the line Deadman." Vince yelled.
"Okay…okay, it all began at the New Year's Party you planned for the whole roster."
"Well, well, well. If it isn't dumb and dumber!" Manny said sarcastically as Shawn and Shane walked in. "How was the roasting you got from Uncle Vi?"
"He was in the middle of it when someone came in." Shane replied as Shawn nodded in agreement.
"Who?"
"It was…." Shawn said as he looked away from Manny.
"Just tell me, I can take it. Please I need to know." Manny cried as Shawn held her hand.
"It was Taker. Mark's here." Shawn replied. Manny let go of Shawn's hand and gripped the bed.
"Where is he?"
"He's outside talking to Vince." Shane said.
"How did he know I was here?" Manny said as her eyes began to fill up. "I never told him. I haven't spoken to him since Wrestlemaina."
"I don't want him in here. I'm not ready for that. Please, don't let him in here." Manny said as she burst into tears.
"Hey Manny, I promise I won't let him in here." Shawn said softly as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Look, I believe you. But I have to put Manny first. I mean she hasn't told anyone who the father is yet. It's up to her."
"I know, but can I at least see her?" Mark asked as Vince looked at Manny's room.
"I sorry. I can't put her through that again. You wait out here to see how she's doing. But I don't want to see her hurt." Vince replied. Just then, Shawn came out of Manny's room.
"Erm…Vince." Shawn said as he called Vince over to one side. "Manny knows Mark's here. She says that she's not ready to see him yet. She doesn't want him in there with her." Shawn whispered. Vince turned around and walked towards Mark.
"I'm sorry. She knows you're here, but she's not ready yet. Like I said before, you can wait out here and see how she feels later on." Vince said as Mark sighed heavily. "I understand." Just then the nurse had come out of the room.
"Nurse, how is she doing?" Vince asked as the nurse wrote something down.
"Well, she's dilated by 5cm. She's got another 5 to go. Manny and baby are doing fine." The nurse replied before walking into another room.
"Vince, I need to just do something I'll be back as soon as I can." Shawn said quietly as Vince knew what he had to do.
Mark sat down on a chair and hoped for the best. Vince put a hand on Mark's shoulder and nodded before going back into Manny's room.
"I'm sorry Manny; I never should have left you." Mark whispered as he buried his head in his hands.
(Wipes tear from eye). I'm sorry, but you just have to feel sorry for Mark here. What is going with Shawn? Has Manny gone mad, where she doesn't want to see Mark? All will be revealed in future chapters.
