A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews if you want the story to continue. Enjoy the chapter.
Dave POV
I finished talking to Paul and went back to Iris' room. She was not asleep. She had gotten up and was taking a bath. I peeked in the bathroom. She was perfect in everyway. I took the box out of my pocket and looked at the ring. I smiled and put it in my suitcase. I just needed the right time. I walked in the bathroom and shut the door. She turned and looked at me. She smiled at me.
"Hey, beautiful." I said to her.
"Hey, where were you?" she asked me.
"I was talking to Paul and I was hungry." I told her. She laughed at me.
"Want to join me?" she asked me. I thought about it for a second.
"Yeah, sure." I said. I quickly undressed and slipped into the bathtub behind her. She laid back against my chest.
"How's your leg?" she asked me. I knew that she cared so much.
"It's ok. How are you?" I asked her as I rubbed my hands over her stomach.
"I wished I had killed him." she mumbled. I laughed.
"Why?" I asked her.
"He would be one less person I would have to deal with." she said in a small voice.
"We." I said.
"Huh?" she asked.
"We, baby, we. I am going to go though everything with you." I whispered in her ear.
"Thank you." she said and leaned her head on my shoulder.
We sat there for few a little while longer and I just held her. It was the greatest feeling.
"Iris!" we heard someone yell from outside the door and then Stacy comes running in. She stopped for a second and looked at us. Iris was laughing at her.
"What?" she asked Stacy.
"He proposed!" she said.
"Congrats. Let me see the ring!" Iris said.
"Can you show her later?" I asked.
"Aww, is Dave afraid of me seeing his manhood?" Stacy asked. Iris was laughing.
"No, maybe I don't want you seeing Iris." I said and stuck out my tongue. Stacy was laughing at me, because she knew I was not serious. She held up the ring.
"It is beautiful." Iris said.
"Thanks, I just had to tell my future bride's maid." she said.
"Aww, thanks." Iris said.
"Alright, I will leave you two alone." Stacy said and left.
I looked at Iris and laughed. She kissed me and stood up.
"Nice view." I said. Iris turned around and stuck her tongue out at me.
We got changed and went to the kitchen.
Carlito POV
I had overheard a conversation that I wasn't supposed to hear. I was sitting upstairs watching TV. John and Randy had sat down on another couch beside me.
"What's up?" John asked me.
"Nothing much." I responded. I was still in disbelief about what I had heard and how Iris had grown up. I thought she was normal and just had a shitty boyfriend.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Randy asked me.
"Just something I overheard earlier." I said not really paying attention.
"What?" John asked me.
"I didn't know that Iris had grown up in such a rough home." I said.
"Her mom just didn't accept her; what is so bad about that?" John asked him.
"No, her dad raped her as a child." I said, without thinking about it.
"What?" Randy asked. John just sat there.
"Nothing! You don't know that. Do not repeat it!" I said.
"Who did you overhear talking?" John asked. I sighed.
"Paul and Dave were talking earlier. I also think that Dave will propose to Iris before her birthday." I said.
We all just sat there. I don't think that any of us thought that she had grown up like that. She seemed so normal.
Iris POV
I ate something and was sitting there. Paul walked up and sat down with Dave and I.
"What's up?" he asked me.
"Don't you have a home? Or need to be with Steph?" I asked him. He laughed at me.
"Linda insist on staying with her so I can get some sleep." he said, laughing.
"Oh, ok." I said.
"Are you doing ok?" he asked me.
"Yeah, I am here. I was wondering when you wanted to help me get the things out of Mom and Dad's house?" I asked him.
"Are you sure you want to help?" he asked me.
"Paul, I have to deal with it sometime. You can't protect me from everything, especially not the past." I told him.
"Alright, well, we can start tomorrow. Visitation isn't until 4 pm." he said.
"Good. Do you want anyone else to help us?" I asked him.
"Yes, I know a few people will." he said, looking at Dave.
"He knows he's helping." I said laughing.
"I don't mind." Dave said.
"Thanks." Paul said.
We sat there and talked for a little longer until the phone rang. Paul hit speaker phone.
"Hello." I answered.
"Iris?" the person asked.
"Yeah, this is she." I said.
"It's Vince." he said.
"Yeah?" I answered.
"I was wondering if you knew where Paul was?" he asked.
"Right here." Paul answered.
"Good, well, since I am on speaker phone I will tell both of you. The show is set at the arena for 2 days from now. It will be a 4:45 pm. The tickets went on sale today and are already sold out. Iris, have you got storylines?" Vince asked me.
"Yeah, we are going to put all the wrestler's names in a pot and draw out names. Everyone is been told to be ready to fight and everyone likes the idea. Anyone can fight anyone." I told him.
"Are you going to be in the thing?" he asked me.
"Everyone is expect Steph, Paul, and Linda." I told him.
"Great, I love the idea and I will tell Shane. Wait, why not, Paul?" he asked.
"He is going to be at home with Steph when the babies come home." I said. Vince laughed.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow at visitation." he said.
"Great." I said and hung up.
We were talking when Randy came up.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.
"Sure." I said and walked out to talk to Randy.
"What is it?" I asked him after we got in my room.
"I think you need to know something." he said.
