(A/N) Hey guys. Hopefully I haven't butchered the ending beyond repair and I can make amends for the previous sub par chapter with this one. I feel I have gotten over my block, and hopefully this chapter comes through easier. Not much else to say except on with the story…


"Honey, I'm back." Dave called out as he walked in the door. He shut it behind him and continued into the hallway.

"Daddy!" Came a tiny voice belonging to a tiny girl. Dave's two and a half year old daughter came running up to him. Dave stooped down to pick her up. He grunted loudly as he lifted her off her feet, and into his arms. He gave her a peck on the cheek and she started to giggle uncontrollably.

"How's your day been pumpkin? Have you been taking care of your little brother?" Dave asked in his fatherly voice.

"Yes daddy."

"That's my girl. Hey, where's mommy? Is she in the kitchen?"

"I don't know."

"Well what do you know Elaine?" He said, poking her in the stomach, causing another wave of giggles to erupt from her mouth.

"I know that the sky is blue, and two plus two equals four and that tigers have stripes, and so do zebras, and…" the little girl went on.

"Okay okay. Go tell your little brother everything you know." Dave said as he placed his daughter back down on the ground.

"and that elmo is red, and that I like elmo, and that our telephone number is…" her little voice trailed off as she ran into her brother's room.

Dave couldn't hide his smile as we walked into the kitchen.

"Hi honey." Dave said to the blonde women slaving over the stove.

"Hi baby. Dinner will be ready in a bit. Hey can you check on Eric? I think I can hear him crying." His wife asked him.

"Sure babe." Dave replied as he gave her a quick peck on the cheek before heading off to check on his infant son. As he entered his room, Elaine was still going over all the things that she knew. What she didn't know, was that her vast knowledge of things had woken her brother up prematurely. Another thing that she didn't know was that her brother hated to be woken up.

"Elaine, honey, why don't you go watch T.V." Dave said as he picked his son up from his crib.

"Okay." She squeaked and she ran out of the room without another word.

As Dave tried to rock his son back to sleep, he began to reflect on his past. He also began to think about how the past affected his life right now.

It had been 5 years since he had finally freed himself of Hunter's control. It was also 5 years since that love of his life back then, Christy Hemme had ceased to exist. Once Christy had died and he had ultimately killed Hunter, Ric and Randy wanted Dave to take over Hunter's empire. He refused outright. Ric retired from the business, and continues to live a life of luxury which is financed by Randy, who now owns Evolution. All Dave asked was the lease to one of the clubs in Manhattan. With that club and a few hundred thousand dollars donated to him by the now very rich Randy Orton, he opened a gym, which he owns and works in. One year later, he met Camilla in the gym. He was her personal trainer for a few months, but when they realised that they had feelings for each other, he decided to assign her to somebody else so that he could take her out. They fell in love, got married, and had Elaine a year later. Then, two years on, Eric came along and they now live happily ever after. Or as happy as one can be when you lose a loved one. He never did forget about his first love. Dave often dreamed about Christy, the red headed vixen, although he never told his wife Camilla about his old flame. Sometimes he wondered if he was being unfaithful by not telling her. But it was only dreams, he continued to tell himself. It was the times when he wondered what life would be like if she were still alive, that really made him feel like he was cheating. He knew that he loved Camilla very much. Her and Elaine and Eric were the three loves in his life, and he wouldn't trade anything in the world for them. But he never ceased to imagine what life would have been like with Christy. Christy was more outspoken. More spontaneous while Camilla was more timid and conservative. He sometimes wondered how two totally opposite women managed to capture his heart.

He also wondered what his and Christy's children would have been like had they had any. Not that he would have loved them anymore than he does his two right now. But no matter how hard he tried. How hard he strived to push the fiery redhead out of his mind he couldn't. He loved her too much to forget her.

"Hey honey! Dinner is ready!" Camilla called out, snapping him out of his reverie.

"Coming baby!" He called back. He gently laid his son back in his crib and straightened himself out.

"You've got to forget about her. Move on. You've got a family now god dammit!" He said to himself. He shook his head vigorously, as if shaking his head hard enough would somehow shake Christy out of his mind. He rubbed his tired eyes, before making his way to the dinner table.


Dave sat opposite Camilla, with Elaine on his left in her special toddlers chair. She was swinging her legs as she ate and sang at the same time. Dave however, silently chewed his food, while still thinking of Christy. Left with the aching in his heart, forever wondering what could have been…

Camilla looked at him intently. "Something on your mind baby?"

"No." Dave's head jerked up. "Just wondering."

"Wondering about what?" She asked innocently.

"Um…I was just wondering…what life would have been like…had I not met you…" He replied cautiously.

"Oh? And are you picturing a better or worse life?" Camilla asked, as she put down her fork and wiped her mouth with the napkin beside her. Dave had caught her attention with his daydreaming and the question she had posed was a good one. Dave looked straight at her, motionless. He tried to find an answer inside him. He tried to compare what could have been with what currently was. He decided he wasn't going to lie to her.

"To tell you the truth…I don't know."
