Ch 62
Paul's whole body was aching in pain as he made his way to the back. He couldn't believe he had been set up. I'm such a fool I should have known Lisa and Mark separating was too good to be true, he thought ignoring the throbbing of his head, they set that all up so I wouldn't expect this. He came through the curtain seeing Shane waiting for him with a stunned look on his face.
"What the hell just happened here?" Shane yelled.
"Are you blind? I just had the shit beaten out of me by Mark for what we did to Lisa. She is still pregnant with his child. We are such fools," Paul looked around wondering if Lisa was still in the building.
"The pregnancy we can't do anything about but we can get that bastard back at the next Raw," Shane grinned widely.
"That is really easy for you to say. I'm the one that is out there getting my ass beaten not you if whatever we plan backfires," Paul threw his head back wiping the blood away.
"I'm not afraid to be out there. You want me in your corner I'm there," Shane stood up for himself.
"We have a week to figure this out. All I know is neither one of us is touching Lisa until after that kid is born," Paul knew if they went after Lisa again while she was pregnant there would be tons of problems not only with Mark.
"Going soft?"
"I still care about her and between you and me I've felt like shit for weeks thinking I killed her baby. I don't give a damn I'll raise Mark's kid as long as I get Lisa back. I'll just make the kid's life a living hell," Paul grinned heading towards his locker.
"I really see you as the father type," Shane rolled his eyes making Paul stop with a pissed off look.
"I can be a father," Paul kept his anger under control not wanting to explode on Shane, "especially if Lisa is my wife. I'll catch up with you tomorrow and we can discuss next week's Raw."
"Ok, see you later Paul," Shane walked away leaving Paul alone in his misery. He painfully took a step towards his locker room. He walked slowly trying to deal with all the pain. Suddenly Lisa's voice filled the hall. He quickened his pace stopping in front of Mark's locker room. He peered in seeing her sitting on the bench watching Mark gathering his things.
"Mark, I will be glad when this is over. I don't like playing these games with Paul. He isn't going to just sit back and let Vince get away with this," Lisa sighed.
"Stop worrying. Vince and I have this completely under control. After next week, you will not have to deal with any of this till after the baby comes," Mark moved in front of her kneeling down taking her hand. "Please trust me and let me handle this."
"I do trust you," Lisa caressed his cheek. "I guess I'm just worrying too much."
"Definitely please relax. You will have enough to worry about as your due date comes closer," Mark kissed her hand.
"You better be there for that," Lisa was worried he would be on the road when the baby decided to come.
"I will be there cross my heart," Mark made the motion of crossing his heart. He slowly rose pulling her into his arms holding her tight as Paul watched on hating Mark even more wishing there was some way to destroy their marriage once and for all.
The week flew quickly and it felt like in a heartbeat that Lisa was back in makeup getting ready for her last appearance on Raw till after the baby was born. She was a nervous wreck thinking of the night ahead and the match Vince had set up to hopefully drive Paul out of the WWE. She knew it wouldn't work Paul wasn't going anywhere and the match would just push him into more drastic measures. She feared he would take out his anger on Mark. She closed her eyes trying to not let the tears come. She was very worried about Mark but he kept telling him not to worry everything was fine but she had seen him getting ready for the match. She saw the rage in his eyes as he imagined Paul at the end of his blows. She wanted Paul to pay more than anything for what he had done she was just afraid of Mark getting in trouble for taking things too far.
"Hey darling," Mark kisses her cheek breaking her thoughts. "You look beautiful." He admired how pretty she looked in the light blue shirt and jeans. He always loved the way she looked in blue.
"Thanks sweetie," Lisa turned in the chair seeing he was already in his ring attire. She stood up stopping suddenly putting her hands on her stomach.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Mark moved behind wrapping his arms around her resting his head against hers.
"Its nothing just feels like butterflies in my stomach," Lisa had never felt a sensation like that. Mark ran his hand to her stomach lightly caressing it. He knew Lisa had been waiting for the moment when she would feel the baby move for the first time since the doctor told them it could happen any day.
"I don't feel anything," he kissed her softly.
"I guess its just nerves," she leaned back enjoying the comfort of being in her husband's arms.
"Do you feel okay otherwise?"
"I feel fine except my back is aching some but the doctor said to expect that," Lisa said feeling the warmth of Mark's hand instantly under her shirt caressing her back.
"Does that help?" Mark whispered in her ear as she nodded yes. He lightly kissed her neck as she completely relaxed in his arms. They were lost in one another not noticing Christina watching them with jealous eyes from the hall.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Glen came up behind her making her jump.
"Its none of your business what I'm doing here," she tried to brush past him as he grabbed her arm.
"I'm warning you no more schemes. You try to break up Mark and Lisa again it will be the last thing you do," Glen glared at her as she tried not to shake seeing the anger in his eyes.
"I'm not here to bother Mark or Lisa. I'm here to see Shane," Christina broke free from his grip.
"I guess it was time to see his whore," Glen coldly said upsetting her.
"I'm not his whore. I'm no one's whore!" Christina couldn't control her emotions. "One day I will have what Lisa has. I will have a husband and family who love me."
"You already had a caring loving family you gave them up," Glen didn't care about hurting her feelings anymore. "You gave up your own beautiful daughter for a snake like Shane McMahon."
"Damn it I didn't want to give her up. I had to," Christina bites her tongue realizing she said too much.
"Why did you have to?"
"To protect her from her father," Christina said with tears in her eyes.
"Protect her from Shane? Did Shane hurt Kelly before? Does he hurt you? Is that why you do this crazy shit to your family?" Glen stared at her. "Christina, it isn't too late to ask for help. I will help you just tell me why you do this shit. Tell me the truth about everything and I will help you."
"No one can help me," Christina cried. "Leave me alone Glen." She ran down the hall disappearing into Shane's room before Glen could catch her. Glen knew better than to go after her. He slowly walked away to get ready for Raw knowing he had to find away to get through to Christina.
