Blue Nova

Chapter 6

       "Lita…  You can sit here all night and look at the floor, but I'm not leaving until you've answered me," Adam says, his tone firm.  I sigh, running a hand through my hair.  God, where's a distraction when you need one?  Where's Molly when she'd actually be useful?

        "Adam, it's nothing.  You're making a big deal out of nothing," I tell him.  It's obvious that he's not buying it.

        "Lita, I know something is wrong, and I know you're not telling me it.  I want to know, and you'll feel better once you get it off your chest, trust me," he says, his tone earnest.  I doubt I'd feel better, but apparently if Adam keeps this up we'll see.  God, please let him get bored to death over it and promise to pester me later.  I don't need this right now.

        I think we've been standing here, neither one of us saying a word, for ten minutes now, and it's driving me nuts.  I think, in fact, it's driven me off of the edge, because my mouth is opening and I think I'm about to tell him that I'm pregnant.  I can't think of anything to say as a prelude to the announcement.  I mean, what can you say? 'You remember when Matt and I were going out?'  There's no way to say this but bluntly.

        "Adam, the reason why I've been so sick and tired…  Well, it's because I'm pr-"

          "Hey man, we've got a match coming up in five!" Chris Jericho's voice sounds.  I turn, and see the blond Canadian walking toward us.  He has no idea how much I want to kiss him right now.  "Bischoff made the match: You, me, and Christian versus Bitcholution minus Mr. Flab."  Adam is miffed…  It's obvious, but Chris doesn't seem to be picking up on it.  Oh, well.  Got to love him.

        "I'll be there in a second," Adam says, his eyes never leaving me for a second.

        "Hey Edge, the match, it's on in five minutes, buddy.  You need some time to stretch.  This can wait 'til tonight, right?" Chris says, motioning to us two.

        "Go to the curtains, Chris," Adam replies, his voice steady, "I'll be right behind you." Chris walks off, but only after an eye roll.  "Li finish what you were going to say," Adam orders.

        "I'm probably just dealing with the stress," I lie.  Adam purses his lips.  "Honest, Edge," I add.

        "Lita, I don't know if you know this, but it is really obvious that you are lying through your teeth."

        Yeah, I know it.

        "Look, I've got a match now, but when I get back, we're going to continue this conversation," he says, and his voice is promising.

        Damn.  Why can't I have a thing for air headed guys?  It would make life SO much easier.

        "There's nothing to continue," I protest, and Edge shoots me a look.  Okay, so maybe I shouldn't keep lying to him when he knows I am.  It was worth a try.

        "I'll see you in a few," he says shortly, and stalks off.

        All I have to say is that the last goodbye he gave me was so much better.

        I open the doorknob and walk in the locker room, plopping down on the couch unceremoniously.  There is no way I'm going to tell Edge that I'm pregnant tonight.

        And if I had my way, I would never tell Edge, but I have to at some point and now sooner than ever, seeing as how my stupid slip-ups alerted him.  Sigh.

        Edge has a level head on his shoulders-okay, after some persuasion, of course-but I don't know how he would react to the news.  Wait, never mind, I do know.  He would beat the shit out of Matt, doesn't take a genius to figure that out.  Especially with what was developing between them…  To keep him away from Matt would be like a mouse trying to tame a lion.

        Keeping Adam away from Matt for the time being is a two-person job.  I don't have a second person, and I need one.

        Gosh, this sucks.

        Jeff?  He's my best friend, but he's also Matt's brother.  I don't want to turn them against each other.  Stacy?  She's a great girl, but ditzy, and I doubt she'd be able to help put some sense into Edge.  As a matter of fact, scratch all of the Divas off of the list.  Christian?  Nice guy, but can't keep a secret worth anything.  Wait!  I know who!

        I'm going to hold myself to this, no matter what.

        Tonight, I'm gong to tell Chris Jericho that I am pregnant.
