Chapter 15 – I Never Stopped Loving You

Desiree had thought about what John's reaction to her being pregnant would be. Being speechless though wasn't one of the thoughts she had in mind. John just stared at her for several moments giving Desiree time to worry about the first words that would come out of his mouth. Would there be anger? Would there be regret? Desiree wasn't sure. The waiting game though was getting old. She had waited 3 months for John's reaction to her pregnancy and silence wasn't really a welcome reaction.

"Well, are you going to say anything?" Desiree asked with annoyance.

John finally came out of his silence. "Umm…uhh…I don't really know what to say. You're uhh…you're…"

"Pregnant?" Desiree said finishing John's question.

"Yeah." John said quickly as his eyes fell to the floor.

Desiree smirked at John being uncomfortable with pregnancy. It was a perfectly normal reaction from a male. Then she smirked and crossed her arms. "Yes I am…and before you even ask…of course it's yours."

John looked up into her eyes quickly. "I wasn't going to ask you that."

"Oh really?"

John put his hands in his pockets and shuffled his feet slightly. "Okay, so maybe I was thinking about it …but then I figured it was mine because why else would you hide from me for three months."

"John…" Desiree sighed. "I wasn't hiding from you. I just…" Desiree suddenly realized that the two of them were still standing in the café and some of the customers were beginning to stare. "Umm…maybe we should sit down and talk."

John shrugged his shoulder. "Alright."

The two settled themselves into the booth sitting opposite each other before Desiree continued. "I wasn't hiding John. I was just…worried about your reaction."

"Why would you worry Rae? We used to be so close. There was one time when we could tell each other anything."

Desiree smiled. "Yes John, I know. But, that was a long time ago and a lot has changed since then. We are both different people and I just didn't know how to tell you."

John reached across the table and grabbed Desiree's hand. "We really aren't that different you know. We may be older, but not a lot has changed." John smiled. "Remember when we had that scare back in high school, when we were dating. You didn't know how to tell me then either but when you finally did, I was okay with the baby and I was going to support you. Then you ended up not being pregnant, and everything was still okay. It brought us closer."

"Yeah, but then we broke up 4 months later."

John nodded his head. "Yes we did, but that wasn't why we broke up. Do you even remember why we broke up in the first place?"

Desiree thought for a second and then smiled. "No, actually I don't. I just remember that we decided to stay friends."

John grinned. "It's weird but I don't remember either." The two of them shared a laugh about not being able to remember why they had even broken up in the first place all those years ago.

Then John got a determined look on his face. "What?" Desiree questioned upon seeing his face.

"I didn't spend the past 3 months trying to find you to reminisce though. I came here today to explain myself to you."

Desiree's expression softened. "John, you don't have to explain yourself."

"No, I do. That night, when you left in the taxi, it was nothing. You know Gaby, she's an old friend just like you. But unlike you, Gaby will remain just that, an old friend. But you, Rae I love you."

Tears started to form in Desiree's eyes. "I didn't even realize it was Gaby. I saw you with another woman and I just panicked. The fact that the woman was Gaby explains a lot though, since she has always been like that." Then Desiree thought about the second part of John's statement and shook her head. "John I don't want you to say that just for the baby's sake. I know that you have a career and a life apart from me and I don't want to ruin that."

John scooted out of his side of the booth and quickly sat next to Desiree. He lifted up her chin so she'd look at him as he wiped away her tears. "Don't do that Rae, regardless of the baby I was going to tell you this. Rae, I love you. I always have and I never stopped."

This just brought on a whole knew batch of tears. Desiree was already an emotional woman. Add in the pregnancy factor and the emotions go crazy. John pulled her in for a hug and Desiree whispered. "I love you too." John pulled back to question Desiree about that statement but Desiree just continued talking, no longer in a whisper. "I love you John. I never stopped loving you either. I don't know why I kept avoiding getting back together with you. I think I was just afraid that you didn't love me back."

John smiled. "Well now you know. I love you and I'm not going anywhere. I can't believe you went through these first few months of pregnancy alone. Have you been alright? Is everything alright?"

Desiree smiled as she wiped away the tears. "I'm fine. Your son is fine. Everything is fine John."

It took a moment for John to process what Desiree said but once he did his eyes got huge. "My son?" He finally choked out.

Desiree laughed at John's reaction. "Yes John. In hopefully 5 months you'll be the proud daddy of a baby boy."

"I'm going to have a son?" John questioned again, still not quite believing what he was hearing.

"Yes!" Desiree laughed.

John just smiled and then pulled Desiree in for a passionate kiss that he had been waiting to give her. Desiree returned the kiss with equal passion but couldn't help herself from wondering what came next. Sure John was happy to be apart of their sons life but was it really possible? He had a busy career with wrestling and promotional stuff. Add to that his music and his soon to be movie, and Desiree wasn't sure how everything could possibly work out. For the time being though she decided to enjoy finally being back in John's arms.


After talking to Desiree before she saw John, Alex went to the arena to get some work done. Getting work done was a difficult job though when she couldn't stop thinking about John and Desiree. She also hadn't seen Randy since they had talked with Desiree and she was wondering what had become of him. Her questions weren't answered when she found Randy either.

She was walking down the hall with some paperwork around 4:30 when she almost ran into Randy rushing around the corner. Alex pulled the paperwork in close to her and fell against the wall to avoid him. Randy quickly turned to see who he had almost run into and upon seeing that it was Alex he smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry." He said quickly.

"Where have you been?" She asked with slight annoyance. "And why are you in such a hurry?"

Randy shifted uncomfortably with his gym bag on his shoulder, not sure how he could explain himself without giving anything away. "Umm, I've been around…but right now I'm kind of late so I have to go." He replied as he left as quickly as he had come.

"But, Randy…" Alex called after him. Randy was already gone though.

Alex couldn't figure out Randy sometimes. She knew that he loved her and she knew that she loved him. Heck, she had known that within the first week of knowing him. Sometimes though, she just didn't understand him. He did things that he wouldn't tell her about, or he would be gone for awhile and she would never know why. It seemed like ever since they had gotten together 3 months ago, it was one big hurdle after another that they had to get through. Alex kept expecting things to get easier. They loved each other. Shouldn't staying together be easy?

She just shook her head as she continued to her office to get some more work done.

About two hours later, Alex was deep in concentration over some work she was doing when the door to her office opened. She looked up to find Desiree standing in the doorway. Alex immediately smiled and rushed over to her.

"Hey!" Alex said as she hugged Desiree. "So how did it go?"

Desiree smiled. "Everything is fine. John took the news really well and he loves me so everything is good."

"Well, of course he loves you. We've been trying to get it through both of your skulls that the two of you belong together."

"Yeah, I know." Desiree said with a smile.

"Have the two of you been talking this whole time?" Alex questioned.

"Yeah, we got to talking about that past, about what happened three months ago, about our baby boy, and just stuff in general."

"Wait, wait, wait…your baby boy? You're having a baby boy?" Alex questioned quickly.

"Yes, I'm having a baby boy." Desiree said with a laugh.

"Oh, I'm so happy for you Dez. You have your man, you're having a baby, and most of all you are happy. You are happy right?"

"Yes, I'm very happy and much more relaxed now that I'm not keeping a secret from John anymore. What about you? You have Randy."

"Yeah." Alex said with a sarcastic laugh.

Desiree caught on quickly. "Wait, what is going on?"

Alex shrugged. "I don't really know. I didn't want to bother you with it while you were having troubles of your own but I don't know what is going on with Randy and I. I mean, it's obvious that we love each other greatly but sometimes I feel like that isn't enough."

"What do you mean?" Desiree questioned.

Alex sat down, defeated, on the couch. "It seems like since we got together, if we weren't scheming to get you and John together again, then we were fighting. We were either fighting or Randy was nowhere to be found." Alex shrugged. "Like today, since we saw you this morning, I haven't seen Randy all day. Well, I saw him once but he basically plowed me over in the hall and then he was gone."

"I'm sorry Alex. What can I do to help?" Desiree asked as she sat down next to Alex.

"I don't know." Alex answered. "I just don't know."

"Maybe you should talk to Randy about it." Desiree suggested.

Alex laughed sarcastically. "Yeah, I would. If I could ever find him."

Desiree stood up from the couch with determination. "Well then, we will go find him." With that said she grabbed Alex's hand, pulled her up from the couch, and they left Alex's office to find Randy.


"Alright, so I got everything set today and I can't wait to see you. I love you." Randy said as he hung up the phone.

"Aren't you supposed to be saying that to me?" Alex questioned from the open doorway.

Randy turned slowly knowing who it was. "Alex." He said once he saw it was definitely her. "What are you doing here?"

Alex crossed her arms across her chest. "I think you should answer my questions first. Who were you just on the phone with and where have you been all day?"

Randy shifted his weight uncomfortably. He couldn't tell Alex the truth so what was he supposed to say? "Umm…"


A/N – Well, I'm finally back with an update. I hope you all liked. I finally settled the John and Desiree situation. Well, at least for now. What does the future hold for them? But, now I've created more drama for Alex and Randy. What is Randy up to? Hmm…you shall all see soon enough. Keep those reviews coming. I love every single one of them. Thanks!
