A/N: I only own Iris. Thanks so much for all the reviews. Keep R & R Please! Thanks. I will apologize if some of the chapters seem sloppy; I probably wrote them late at night. I can write in POV. Let me know if you would rather me do that. Thanks.

We all arrived at the airport and boarded the plane shortly after we got to the airport. I was sitting beside John. He was so tired he fell asleep shortly after we sat down. I was in the aisle seat beside Stephanie.

"Steph, how long is John going to Europe for?" I asked her.

"About a week. He didn't tell you how long he would be gone?" she asked me.

"He probably did, but I don't remember. How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Better. My sickness is gone. I was just wondering if you wanted to go out with us tonight?" she asked me.

"No, besides, you don't need to go out. You are pregnant." I told her.

"I know. I know. I am not going to drink anymore. Paul got onto me for it." she told me. I finished talking to her and fell asleep for a while.

"Baby?" someone said that woke me up. I looked over and it was John.

"Come on. We are here." he said. I grabbed my things and got off the plane.

We all rode to the hotel and checked in. John just shared and room with me. We got in the hotel room and John immediately pulled me into a kiss.

"I am going to miss that." he said. I smiled.

"You going to come with me to dinner?" he asked me.

"I don't know. I haven't officially been invited yet." I told him. He smiled and laughed at me.

"Would you care to accompany me for dinner tonight seeing how it will be my last night with you for a whole week?" he asked me.

"I would love to." I told him. He laughed at me and we got into a tickle fight. I lost of course, but it did lead to a nice make out session.

We left for dinner around six. John had already made some reservations. I was told to dress casual. We walked to the restaurant. He took me to a little café about a block from the hotel. We sat in the back corner so we could have some privacy.

"Are you excited to be going?" I asked him.

"Yeah, but I don't want to leave you." he said taking my hand.

"I will be here when you get back." I told him.

"I know, but it still means I have to leave you." he said.

"It's ok. I got you something yesterday so you can take it with you." I told him. I put a box on the table. He opened it. He smiled.

"I love it." he said. I had gotten him a silver chain; it was plain and simple. He put it on immediately.

"I got you something too. Close your eyes." he said. He got up and put the necklace around my neck. He sat back down.

"Open your eyes." he said. I opened my eyes and looked down. The necklace was beautiful; it was a pink sapphire.

"John… How'd you?" I asked him. He smiled at me.

"I saw you looking at it the other day and bought it." he said.

"Thank you so much." I told him. He smiled.

We finished eating and walked back to the hotel. We just got back to our room when John's cell phone rang. He went out to the balcony to answer it. I sat on the bed and flipped through channels. I heard my cell phone buzz and saw that I had a text message.

"Need to talk. Sorry. Dave" I read it and replied that I would talk to him later. I saw John pacing the balcony and looked upset. I just sat there. I knew he would tell me what happened when he got off the phone. He came in a few minutes later from talking on the phone and sat by me.

"What is it, baby?" I asked her.

"I just talked to my dad. My mom is sick." he said.

"I am sorry. Can't you see them after you get back from Europe?" I asked him. He nodded.

"Can you come with me?" he asked me. Before I could reply, he was at the door.

"I am going to go ask Vince. I will be back." he said and walked out. I sighed. I needed to talk to Dave, but I also needed to talk to Paul. I decided to talk to Paul.

I walked across the hall and knocked. Stephanie answered it and pulled me in the room.

"Hey, I needed to talk to you about you making an appearance as the new diva." she told me.

"Ok, what's my angle?" I asked her. Paul laughed.

"What?" I asked him.

"Nothing, were you ok last night?" he asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked him.

"You ran out of Dave's room like a bat out of hell." he told me.

"I was not feeling well, plus John had called." I told him.

"Oh, ok." he said. We were all sitting there when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Stephanie yelled. Dave came walking in. He sat down next to Paul and just started to watch TV with him.

"Dave, you want anything to drink?" Stephanie asked.

"Beer, if ya got it." he said. I got up and got it for him. I handed it to him. He just looked at me. I quickly walked away.

"How many you had tonight?" Paul asked. Dave shrugged.

"Alright, Iris, we need to talk to about your debut." Stephanie told me. I looked over the paper.

"I am whose valet?" I asked shocked.

"Jeff Hardy. He is coming back and needs a female side kick." she said. She realized who it said after she read it again.

"We can change that." Steph said.

"You are going to change that." Paul said. We looked at him. He was pissed.

"She is not getting near him." Paul said.

"Ok, calm down, we have to talk to the creative team." Steph said.

"Why can't she just be his valet?" Dave asked watching TV.

"Because that ass already hurt her enough." Paul said. I was looking at him.

How'd he know? I didn't tell him. I thought as realized Steph must have told him.

"I am so sorry. He broke her heart. She is a big girl and can be around him." Dave said as John walked in.

"No, she can't" Paul said. Dave and Paul were fixing to get into it. John was standing next to me and totally lost. Steph was waiting to see how I reacted. I was hoping Paul would drop it.

"Why not?" Dave asked.

"It is none of your business." Steph said.

"You know what for a 21 yr. old you sure do need a lot of people to protect you." Dave said looking at me.

"Because, they care." I said and began to walk out with John beside me.

"I am sorry, but I can at least work with people who broke my heart." he said. I turned around and looked at him.

"He didn't break my heart, asshole! He raped me!" I yelled at him. Paul wanted to jump him, Steph was surprised by my reaction, and John was shocked at Dave.

"Get over it." Dave said as he stood up. John tackled him. The rest of us didn't have time to react to what had happened. Paul picked John up. John tried his hardest to fight back. I had gone back to my room. I was lying on the bed crying. Dave had never acted like that to me. A few minutes later I felt John lay on the bed next to me.

"Shh… Baby. It is ok." John said to me. He was rubbing my back. I started to calm down. Stephanie and Paul came in a few minutes later.

"Is she ok?" Stephanie asked. I sat up with tears running down my face.

"I will be. I shouldn't have let him get to me." I said.

"He was totally out-of-line." John said.

"And drunk." Paul added.

"Don't let him near her while I am gone." John told Paul.

"He won't." Paul said. He and Steph left to go back to their room. Dave was sitting there.

"Why the fuck would you say that?" Paul asked Dave.

"I don't know. I guess I think she needs to stand up for herself." he explained. Steph was on the phone getting her person changed.

"Dave, I wasn't ever there. She was taken advantage of a lot. She has gotten hurt plenty." he told Dave.

"Oh, but still." Paul said.

"Dave, what would you do if a guy hurt one of your girls?" Steph asked.

"Kill him." he said in a low tone.

"Ok, that is how I feel about her. I was getting my wrestling career started before she finished high school. I couldn't always be a big brother. I had plenty of nights where she would call me upset because something else had happened. I mean her senior year alone she had a person beat her up. Why do you think she got a black belt and we started training her? The only time she came to visit me on the road she started talking Jeff. They got along for a while and he would go to see her. He took her on a date and she wanted to break up. He got pissed off and raped her." Paul said.

"Damn, I really fuck up the plan, huh?" Dave asked.

"Maybe not. I mean John is leaving for Europe." Paul said.

"Guys, she likes him and I think Dave found out he likes her. You need to leave it alone." Steph said as she got in the shower. Dave and Paul went back to watching TV.

John and I were lying on the bed in each other's arms.

"Baby, do you have to go?" I asked him. He kissed my forehead.

"Yeah, but I will call everyday and I will bring you something back." he said. I laughed.

"I just want you back." I told him.

"Baby, I am going to tell you something, but I don't want you to get mad." he said. I looked at him.

"I am falling in love with you." he said. I was in shock.

"I can't say I love you back, but I am definitely getting there." I told him. He smiled.

"That is all I wanted." he said. We eventually fell asleep in each other's arms.
