The Sister - Chapter 26
Of course I retreated.I went in to the kitchen and by the time, I dialed Stephanie's cell-phone number, I was crying so hysterically, she couldn't tell it was me calling her, she looked at her caller I.D. and said she's be right over.
I was sitting on the couch, when Steph rang the doorbell. I went over still sobbing, and holding a handful of tissue, I opened the door and she said, "What's wrong?"
I said, "Nothing, I'm just great."
We walked back to the living room and I sat on the couch and Steph put Andy down and he was sitting on the chair playing with his toys.She came over and stood in front of me, and said, "Alex what in the world happened?" I said, "Which part should I start with first? Let's see.I'm not sick anymore, I want to have a baby, Paul's too busy to get me pregnant, we got into a huge fight about it, he said I sucked as a doctor and if I had a practice in New York I'd be screwing half my staff.I slapped him, punched him in the chest, and he left." She said, "Is that the short version or long version?" I said, "We started arguing 2 hours ago.what do you think?"
I calmed down as Steph sat next to me.and she looked at me and said, "Did I hear you say you slapped Paul and punched him in the chest?" I said, "Yea, it was a little like hitting a brick wall with my fist, something I would suggest you never try." Steph said, "You're crazy. Oh my god, Paul didn't hit you back or anything right?"
I said, "No, he'd never.of course I thought for a second he was going to, but he was so pissed off, he just left, we've never had a fight like this before. I know I kind of started it with wanting to talk about having a baby.but he didn't want to so I pushed the issue, and he blew up, and then I blew up, then he blew out the front door, and slammed the door so hard the windows were shaking.of course I was shaking with them."
Stephanie said, "He must've really pissed you off, you've never been mad enough to hit anyone.not even dad when he didn't show up for your wedding." I said, "Good lord there goes my innocent image." Steph said, "I think you lost that a long time again when you start dating and then married the Cerebral Assassin." I said, "Okay, I think you may be right on that one. I've never seen Paul so pissed.not even when someone interferes with his wrestling matches."
Steph said, "Well ya dumby it's because you're his wife, he expects those morons to hit him and argue with him, he never expected his beautiful, sweet, innocent wife to smack him one and then sock him." I said, "I guess it really was stupid huh?" She said, "In your words.what do you think?"
We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes and she said, "I still can't get over the fact that to add insult to injury, after you slapped him across the face, you punched his chest."
I said, "Shut up."
We both started laughing.
I said, "You don't think our marriage will be over because of this do you?" She said, "Get real.if every marriage ended after a really bad fight, mine and Andrews would have been over a couple of years ago.The last really bad fight we had, I was still pregnant with Andy, but we both realized we were being idiots." Andy came over and said, "Aunt Alex, are you sad?" I said, "A little." He said, "I don't want you to be sad."
I said, "C'mere and give me a big hug and kiss.and I promise I won't be sad anymore." Andy came up and sat on my lap and gave me a huge hug and kiss. I smiled and said, "Wow, it worked, see I'm not sad anymore."
At the next Monday Night Raw, I was in my office reading my book again.with the monitor on watching the matches that were going on. Shane and Stephanie came running in as Paul went out to the ring to discuss some business about Rock, Foley, & Show.in other words talk a little trash.
I said, "Where's the fire you two?" Steph said, "Dad, sort of found out about the fight you and Paul had, he sent some guys to go beat the crap out of him in the ring." I said, "Look, he's right there.nothings wrong with him, he's fine." Steph said, "No, their on their way now."
We took off to my father's office and I busted through the door, and said, "Call them off right now." My father looked at me and said, "I've been waiting for the right time to show Paul how much I hate him for taking my little girl away from me. And this just happens to be the perfect opportunity." I said, "How did you find out about the fight anyway?" He said, "I asked him how he was doing, and he told me you guys had a small fight, but I know the both of you too well, there is no such thing as a small fight."
I said, "Dad.he's my husband, how can you send people after him.who is it? Who's going after him?" Dad said, "Well, Show, Kane, and Undertaker, three of the best. They'll get the job done." I said, "You have to stop them.I'm serious dad, this isn't funny anymore."
My dad turned the TV on and there they were beating the crap out of him, three were definitely too many, he couldn't stop them.
Stephanie, Shane and me ran down the hallway, and before I walked out from behind the curtain, I grabbed a towel, Shane backed the three monkeys off, and they left.We took off and got in the ring.I was sitting on my knees next to Paul, and was scared to touch him. His nose, mouth and head were all bleeding; there was blood all over him.
I put my hand on his chest and he said, "Alex." He didn't even open his eyes. I said, "C'mon, let's get you out of here." He looked at me and said, "What the hell was that all about?" I said, "You told my dad we had a fight, he wanted to get back at you for taking his baby girl so he sent those three idiots to beat the crap out of you.looks like they did a pretty good job of doing so." He said, "Yea, I guess so."
I stood up and grabbed Paul's hand and helped him up, as soon as he stood up all the way, I wrapped my arms around his waist, and he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head.
Of course I retreated.I went in to the kitchen and by the time, I dialed Stephanie's cell-phone number, I was crying so hysterically, she couldn't tell it was me calling her, she looked at her caller I.D. and said she's be right over.
