Chapter 14 – To Tell or Not to Tell

Randy and Alex turned with surprise when they heard John, as he entered the room. They shared a split second look wondering what they should do. "Umm…" Alex began.

Randy sighed knowing they should tell John the truth. "John I'm not going to lie to you. D…"

But Randy didn't get a chance to finish his statement as Alex interrupted him. "Daniel is coming." Alex turned and just smiled at Randy.

John just looked at Alex completely confused. "Who is Daniel?"

Alex laughed as she tried to think fast. "Daniel is…well he is…"

Randy could tell that Alex was at a loss for words so he tried to think of something to help her out. "Daniel is…your sister's new boyfriend."

Alex smiled. "Yes, exactly. He is my sister's boyfriend. I've never met him but she has told me so much about him that I feel like I've known him for years."

John was still confused. "So only your sister's boyfriend is coming? What about your sister? Wait, is that why you said she?"

Alex laughed as she shared another glance with Randy. They were just digging themselves into a deeper and deeper hole. "Yes, of course, my sister is coming too. Why else would I say she?"

Randy grinned back at her, content with what they had come up with even though he was originally just going to tell John the truth. "That's right. Alex's sister, Natalie, is coming to visit and she is bringing along her boyfriend as well."

John just looked at Randy and Alex thoroughly confused but he seemed to accept their explanation as he smiled. Then confusion returned to his face again. "Hey wait, I didn't know you had a sister."

Alex smiled. "Yeah, it's my little sister. She is such a great girl. You should really enjoy meeting her."

John just shrugged. "Okay."

Alex walked over towards John. "So what is going on John? I'm sure you came here for a reason."

John just shrugged again. "It's nothing really. Forget I even came." Then John left the room as abruptly as he had entered.

Alex made sure the door was shut tight before she turned back to Randy. "Well, that was a close one." Then Alex lightly hit Randy in the arm in a reprimanding fashion. "Why were you going to tell him the truth?"

Randy drew his arm up. "Hey! I just thought that he deserved to know the truth. Do you really think that surprise is the best option?"

Alex just crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "Yes, of course. We've helped them to this point and now I think it is up to Desiree and John to put their relationship back together themselves. Duh!" Alex said with mock annoyance.

Randy grinned. "Hey, don't be smart with me."

Alex kept her defiant stance and tone firmly in place. "And what are you going to do about it?"

Randy just smirked. "This." He said quickly as he pushed Alex against the door and captured her lips with his own. Alex's defiant act quickly melted away as she melted into Randy's embrace. Then Randy pulled away leaving Alex breathless.

Alex grinned as the two just stared at each other. "That works."

Randy just laughed as he grabbed Alex's hand and they walked out of the empty locker room.


A few days had gone by and John was now home for a couple of days off. He was just taking some time to be with his family and relax. With everything involving wrestling and his music, he just needed the time to be away from it all. He was just hanging out at home when his cell phone rang.

"Hey." John said as he quickly answered it. Only silence answered him on the other end of the phone.

"Hello." John said again. Getting only silence again he slammed his phone closed in frustration. He had been getting strange phone calls like that for the past couple of months. At first they had been few and far between but now he had received at least 5 in the past few days. He was really getting tired of it and he just wished the person would stop doing it.

He grabbed his keys and decided to head to his favorite gym in Boston to get rid of some of his frustrations. Once there he changed into some workout gear and headed straight for the punching bag. John put on his headphones and immediately got lost in the music and thoughts that he had. He thought about the phone calls, but most of all (like usual) he thought about Desiree.

It was killing him inside because he hadn't seen her in three months. Being back in Boston made him think of the last time he had seen her. He still couldn't believe that she left in that taxi and never even looked back. Granted she had a right to be pissed but would that really keep her away for three months? John just wished he knew what was going on.


Desiree was walking around Boston doing some early shopping for the baby. Now that she knew the sex, she was in full mom mode buying the cutest outfits she could find and decorating the nursery. She happened to pass by a workout gym when she stopped in her tracks at what she saw. His back was to her but Desiree would know who it was no matter what. The stance and body was John's for sure.

She just starred at him for a couple seconds but then she noticed him turning towards the window and immediately turned around hoping John wouldn't notice her or know who she was. She had tried to call him earlier that day but again hadn't been able to follow through with it. She knew that she definitely wasn't ready now either. So, after turning around she casually walked away. Seeing that John didn't come running out of the gym, Desiree figured that he just hadn't noticed her. Once she was away from the window though she quickly caught a taxi out of that area, to be on the safe side.

She returned home and decided she had to call Alex. Desiree knew that she had promised Alex to visit so that she could talk to John. After seeing John today though, she knew she couldn't go through with it. She picked up the phone and quickly called Alex.

"Hey." A male voice answered on the other end of the line.

"Hi." Desiree said with confusion. "Randy is that you?"

"Yeah." Randy said with a laugh, knowing it was Desiree. "Expecting someone else?"

"Well yes, I was expecting Alex since it is her phone that I called."

Randy continued laughing. "Yeah, sorry. She is right here though, if you want to talk to her."

Desiree smiled seeing as how she was finally getting who she wanted. "Yes, I would, thank you."

"Alright, I can see I'm not wanted." He replied with a depressed voice.

Desiree just laughed at his antics as she heard Alex's voice. "Hey. What's going on?"

"Hey Alex. Umm…I've been thinking about it." Desiree started.

"About what?" Alex said before continuing quickly as realization sunk in. "Oh no, don't even think about it. You are not canceling your visit. I won't let you."

"Alex." Desiree whined. "I'm not ready to talk to John yet. I saw him today…"

"What!" Alex said quickly interrupting Desiree in the middle of her sentence.

"Yeah, he was in Boston and I saw him…but he didn't see me." Desiree continued quickly. "Seeing him I realized that I'm not ready to talk to him yet."

"Desiree, I think you really need to talk to John." Alex said in the best supportive but demanding tone she could muster.

"Yeah…I know." Desiree said quietly. "I'm just not sure if I can."

"Randy and I will be here for you if you need us and John…well, he just really wants to see you."

"Well he wants to see me now…but, once he sees that I'm pregnant I'm sure he won't want anything to do with me." With that said Desiree had finally uttered the big fear she had about seeing John. She hadn't said it out loud yet and she hadn't even really thought about it but once she said it, she knew it was right.

"Honey, is that what you are afraid of?" Alex asked with concern. "John isn't going to react like that…and if he does I'll just have to have Randy kick his ass." Alex continued with a laugh.

Alex's comment just made Desiree laugh knowing that Alex really would do that too. It was even funnier too because Alex used to be the shy one and Desiree used to be the daring one but now the roles had changed. Desiree's issues with not dealing with her emotions had turned her into a quiet more reserved person whereas Alex's ability to be comfortable with Randy had turned her into the bold one. It was strange but somehow it all worked out.

"Desiree?" Alex questioned having not heard from Desiree after her comment.

"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry, I just got lost in my thoughts for a moment."

"It's alright. So, am I going to have to come drag you or are you going to come of your own free will?" Alex asked with a laugh.

Desiree just laughed. "Now, you wouldn't drag a pregnant woman would you?"

"Oh, don't tempt me woman." Hearing no reply from Desiree, Alex just continued. "Come on, Raw is in Connecticut this Monday. You can just drive down Monday morning and see me, Randy, and maybe even John before the show."

Desiree thought for a few seconds. It really was the perfect opportunity. "Okay."

"Great!" Alex replied quickly.

"I'm going to call John and let him know too. I want this to be scheduled. I'm going to surprise him enough with how I look so he should at least know that I'm coming."

"Are you sure you can handle that?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I've been trying to call him for months. I really need to finally go through with it. I'm not going to tell him about seeing you guys either because then he'll know that I've been talking to you. I don't want him mad at you guys."

"Alright. We'll see you later then. Bye."

"Bye." Desiree said quickly as she hung up the phone. Then she picked up the phone again though and dialed the all too familiar number.

"Hey." A voice on the other end of the line said quickly.

"Hi John. It's Rae."

"Rae? Damn… How have you been? Where are you? Are you okay?" John's questions all came out in a blur as he tried to get his emotions in check. He was finally talking to her and he didn't even know where to start.

Desiree laughed. "I'm fine and I've been fine. I'm calling because I want to talk to you face to face."

"Okay…" John continued cautiously.

"You are going to be in Connecticut for Raw this Monday so I'll meet you at the Memory Café in downtown Hartford at 1 o'clock."

"Alright." John said trying to take in everything Desiree had said. "I really look forward to talking to you Rae. I've missed you."

"Yeah, I know John. I've missed you too. Bye."

"Bye." John said quickly before Desiree hung up.


It was Monday now and Desiree couldn't believe that she was actually going to go through with this. She had a friend drive her down from Boston earlier that morning because she didn't want to drive while she was pregnant. Then she met Randy and Alex to talk to them real quick. They had continued to tell Desiree that everything would be fine and that she just needed to talk everything through with John.

Now though, sitting in the café alone, Desiree wasn't so sure. She was so afraid of John's reaction and she didn't even know what she was going to say to him. She didn't really have time to think about it though either.

She was sitting in the booth watching the door when she saw John walk in. He smiled when he noticed her and headed over to the booth in the corner where she was. Before he could say anything though Desiree stood up from the booth showing off her protruding abdomen.

John's eyes immediately fell to Desiree's middle and his jaw dropped. He didn't even know what to say, as he stood there with his mouth open just staring at her.


A/N – (hiding under a rock) Okay, no one kill me. Now, I'm sure you are all very upset with where I ended but…you'll get over it. No seriously, I'll be back with the conversation that you have all been waiting for. I know you all probably expected it in this chapter but I had to set up the perfect cliffhanger. Come on…you have to admit that was pretty good. On the bright side though, I did update pretty fast that time. Anyways, thanks for all the reviews and please continue to review!
