Chapter 1
Stacy Keibler walked back to the Divas locker room with eyes filled with tears. She couldn't help but wonder if Randy would approve of her keeping the baby. He didn't know and Stacy intended for him not to know at all. It was a one night thing as Randy said but Stacy didn't know that the aftermath of that one night would lead her to this.
She opened the door and quietly got in not noticing her best friend, Trish Stratus sitting on the bench.
"Hey Stace, did Eric give you the time off?" the blonde Canadian asked with concern as Stacy nodded. Trish couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Randy wasn't careful enough to protect himself and now Stacy has to suffer the consequences. Although Randy Orton was a great guy he could get over his head sometimes especially when women and sex are involved. It seemed like it was a whole different side to him.
Stacy sat down next to Trish and leaned on the petite blonde's shoulder. Trish wrapped her arm around Stacy trying her best to comfort the leggy diva. Stacy sniffed softly as Trish frowned. It always has been Stacy who experienced bad luck with guys between the both of them and Trish would always be there to tell Stacy to look on the bright side. In this situation Trish didn't even know if there was a bright side.
"Did you tell Randy already?" Trish asked as Stacy shook her head.
"I think it is best not to tell him at all. It would give him peace of mind and all that shit." Stacy replied as Trish raised her brows at her.
"Puh-lease Stacy, peace of mind? Come on, he doesn't deserve the peace you are giving to him. That asshole will go around fucking all those whores while you stay home and take care of his child. That's not right Stacy and it certainly isn't fair." Trish argued as Stacy just sighed and sniffed again. She had to admit Trish was making a good point.
"Life isn't fair Trish and on this occasion all the odds are against me. I just want to deal with this alone. With no help from him so he can see that I can make it on my own and that I don't need to depend on him for anything." Stacy said lifting her head from Trish's shoulder and wiping the tears of her cheeks. Trish smiled a little as she heard what Stacy had said. The girl finally learned the meaning of independence.
"Alright Stacy I'll let it go, for now. Have you told anybody else?" Trish asked as Stacy nodded.
"Eric knows and I'm guessing he's going to tell Vince." Stacy replied causing Trish's eyebrows to wrinkle.
"You think they would tell anybody else?" Trish asked as Stacy shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll talk to Eric right now alright? Just stay here until I get back. Don't worry everything will be fine Stacy." Trish said as she got up and walked out of the locker room leaving Stacy with mascara tears behind.
Trish closed the door behind her and walked straight to Eric's office. On the way she heard the familiar voice of one Randy Orton ahead. The rage built up inside of her as she marched towards him like a soldier. Randy, who saw Trish approaching, smiled his usual cocky grin and waved.
"Hey Trish!" Randy said as Trish smirked. She couldn't help but feel bitter towards that son of a bitch. He should have thanked God that she didn't punch him right there and there.
"Hey" Trish replied through gritted teeth. He looked strangely at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh, where's Stacy?" Randy asked as Trish stopped herself from creating this into a formal bitching. She breathed deeply and with a fake smile replied.
"Why do you ask?" Trish questioned as Randy simply smiled.
"I want to see her. We haven't seen each other since last week." Randy replied as Trish, shocked by the response nodded.
"We didn't even talk to each other that much. It's like she's trying to avoid me or something." Randy added as Trish simply swallowed hard. She was debating whether to tell him where Stacy is or not.
"So where is she?" Randy asked again as Trish looked up at him.
"Umm, I don't know." Trish replied as Randy frowned.
"Oh alright, I'll see you around then." Randy said as he walked away while Trish sighed in relief and continued to head to Eric Bischoff's office.
She knocked 3 times before Eric said to come in. Trish slowly went inside and closed the door behind her. Eric looked up and smiled in greeting as Trish took a seat in front of his table the same chair Stacy had sat on earlier.
"What brings you here Trish?" Eric asked.
"It's about Stacy." Trish replied as Eric's brows rose.
"What about her?" Eric replied.
"Well it wouldn't be too much to ask if you don't tell anybody else about her situation Eric. She doesn't exactly want the news to spread around the locker room." Trish said as Eric nodded.
"You mean her taking time off?" Eric asked as Trish shook her head.
"No I meant about her being pregnant. She doesn't want Randy to know or anyone else for that matter. Only the you besides the divas know about it Eric and it would be really great of you if you don't tell anybody else." Trish explained as Eric nodded again.
"So she isn't going to tell Randy?" Eric questioned.
"No, she isn't." Trish said.
"Alright I won't tell anybody. Just tell her to be safe." Eric replied as Trish nodded. She got up and went out of Eric's office and proceeded to the Divas locker room. She got in and without looking at who was inside and said.
"You wouldn't believe who I bumped into on the way to Eric's office." Then she saw Randy there sitting next to Stacy with his arm around her shoulders. Stacy and Randy looked up as Trish nervously smiled.
"Oh, you're here." Trish said as Randy nodded. She was caught red handed lying.
"Well I better go now. I'll see you both later." Randy said as he got up from the bench. He went out of the locker room as Trish stared at Stacy.
"What were you guys talking about? Did you tell him?" Trish asked as Stacy rolled her eyes.
"I didn't tell him anything. He just came looking for me and asked if I wanted to go out with him sometime." Stacy replied as Trish's brows furrowed.
"And you said?" Trish asked.
"I told him I might." Stacy replied as Trish put her hands on her hips and put on the 'why the hell did you say that?' look.
"What?" Trish screamed as Stacy jumped a little.
"It's not like I said yes or anything I just said I might go out with him nothing official." Stacy defended as Trish laughed sarcastically.
"Stacy, here you were minutes ago telling me that you can take care of Randy and your baby alone and then you go tell him that you might go out with him again. What the hell do you really want to do? I thought you wanted this to be in your past. Forget about him and all. You told me that when you guys broke up 3 months ago and now look. Do you think it would get better the second time around? Huh? Let me ask you why did you guys break up in the first place?" Trish asked sarcastically as Stacy rubbed the back of her neck.
"Oh I know! Because Randy cheated on you! For crying out loud you are about to have a cheating bastard's baby in 5 months and you swore to me that you won't give in to him again and here you are giving him another chance to break you heart. I can't believe you Stacy. I just can't." Trish finished as she shook her head and kicked the wall beside her. Stacy guiltily looked at Trish with an apologetic look as the blonde Canadian ran her fingers through her hair.
"I'm sorry Trish but I think he has changed I really do. But if it makes you happier I won't see him again." Stacy said as Trish laughed sarcastically.
"Make me happier? Stacy you have to do this for yourself and not for me. If you think that he deserves a second chance then that's for you to judge. I don't have the right to tell you what to do. If you still have feelings for him fine. I don't intend to stop you from expressing it. I'm just stating facts Stace, and if you want what's good for the little guy inside of your tummy then you have to make up your mind on what to do with this whole situation." Trish replied as Stacy lowered her head. Trish was right, she always was. Stacy nodded as Trish sat down beside her best friend.
"Stacy, I'm just looking out for you, just like you did before for me. You're my best friend and if something or someone hurts you I get hurt to. I want you to be happy so I could be happy for you." Trish said as Stacy's tears came down once again.
"Thanks Trish, I really appreciate it." Stacy said as she hugged Trish tightly. Just then Lita and Victoria came in full clothed in their ring attires.
"What's all the hugging and tears about?" Victoria asked smiling as Stacy and Trish parted.
"Trish was just saying the friend speech again." Stacy said as she wiped away her tears. Victoria and Lita giggled as Trish grinned.
"Last time it was Trish now Stacy. We better sing Destiny's Child's song again." Lita said as the girls giggled together.
"So when are you leaving Stace?" Victoria asked as Stacy furrowed her brows.
"I don't exactly know. I'm still thinking about it. I don't even know where I'm going to stay. If I stay in L.A. Torrie's not going to be there a whole lot and that's going to leave me all alone most of the time. If I go home to Baltimore my mom and dad will nag me everyday and irritate me in every way they know how." Stacy said while giggling. Trish on the other hand thought of something.
"Why don't you stay in Toronto? I mean in my house. I go home every Wednesday so you being alone will not be a problem. Plus, Molly doesn't have anything to do lately since she quit so I think she would be happy to stay there with you." Trish said as Stacy smiled.
"You sure that would be okay?" Stacy asked as Trish nodded.
"I'll call Molly later and ask if she could come." Trish replied.
"We'll visit you sometime too." Lita and Victoria said unison.
"Aww, that's so sweet of you guys." Stacy said as the three grinned and bowed.
"Where are Candice, Maria and Christy by the way? I haven't seen them all day." Lita asked as the other divas shrugged their shoulders.
"I didn't see them either and the house show is starting in 30 minutes." Victoria said as Trish's eyes widened.
"Uh-oh I haven't changed yet." Trish said as she stood up and rushed to her bag trying to find her ring attire.
"That's what you get for not preparing in advance." Stacy teased as Trish rolled her eyes.
"No, that's what I get for lecturing you and giving you speeches for your own good." Trish replied as Stacy stuck out her tongue at her.
"Look Stacy's being immature again." Victoria said as Lita and Trish laughed.
