Ask and you shall receive the next chapter in the tale of our young lovers. Fast forward a little and press play…. Now

As Dave recuperated from the car accident, he and Anna began their life together as husband and wife. They decided that Anna should move into Dave's house in Tampa, since it was bigger, had a nice backyard, and was located in a nice neighborhood. Anna was happy with the move, even though Dave forgot to mention on thing about the weather. Dave was returning home from a trip that took him and the rest of the Smack Down roster to the West Coast. Even though he enjoyed the good weather and beautiful scenery, he was happy to be getting back to his wife who looked as if she was going to deliver at any time. As he opened the front door, he swore that he walked into Antarctica. It was so cold in the house, Dave though that he could go ice skating in the dining room on the way to get something to eat.

"Anna, I'm home," Dave said as he tried to regain some feeling in his fingers, noticing that the thermostat was set to 58 degrees. Dave hoped that he could find some of his winter clothes so he wouldn't freeze to death while brushing his teeth.

"I'm in the kitchen," she called. As Dave entered to room, he couldn't believe his eyes. There in front of him was his wife, in a pair of his track pants, one of his t-shirts, eating a gallon of ice cream.

"Sweetheart, aren't you cold?"

"Dave, how can I be cold? I am a carrying thirty extra pounds, a child who insists on using my internal organs as punching bags, and it is hot and humid as hell outside, Anna said, voicing her frustrations over her changing body and the weather.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with the heat so close to the end of your pregnancy. Is there anyway I can make it up to you?" Dave asked pouting like a little boy hoping to get some extra desert. Even though he wasn't the man responsible for her current condition, he still felt as if some of her discomfort was his fault.

"You can come over here and kiss me," Anna said pulling her husband down to her level.

"See ma'am," Dave said as he passionately kissed his wife. Anna suddenly pulled away placing a hand on her back and breathing heavily.

"Kid, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital? Here, sit down. Should I call the doctor?"

"Dave, for a 300 pound man, you worry like a little old lady. I'm fine. I was just a Braxton-Hicks contraction. I've been getting them since you left."

"And why didn't you tell me?" Dave asked practically screaming.

"Because I knew that you would start to worry, and I didn't want to get you upset while you were on the road. It's just a sign that this little guy or girl wants to come out soon, I don't know why. It's probably cooler in there than it is out here," Anna said as she rubbed her belly. She smiled as she felt a small foot press against the palm of her hand.

"But, I do worry about you. I want to be there when the baby is born. I don't want you to have to go through labor by yourself," Dave said as he began to rub her back.

"I don't want you to miss it either, and I don't think you will by the way things are going."

"You and the baby would be the one's to know. Now about the temperature in here," Dave began.

"I'm fine, you just need to put some meat on those bones of yours, or get a sweater," Anna said as she reached for her ice cream.

"I'll settle for the sweater. This girlish figure provides for a good paycheck," Dave answered. The two laughed as they settled in for a quiet evening at home.

The next day, Dave and Anna started to decorate the baby's room. Since Anna didn't want to know the sex of the baby, they decided on a sun and moon theme. Throughout the night, Dave felt Anna toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position. He felt bad for her. Dave moved her almost a thousand miles from her home into 90 degree heat with high humidity to wait for the birth of her first child. Dave loved her with all of his heart, and could not stand to see her in any sort of discomfort. As they began to put together furniture, Dave would not let Anna lift a finger.

"Dave, I am not an invalid. I can put sheets on a crib mattress," Anna said, trying to convince Dave that she could be of some help.

"That's ok kid I can handle it. You just sit there and enjoy the view," Dave said with a smile. He was wearing a pair of track pants, a hooded sweatshirt, and a baseball cap turned backwards, since the air conditioning was on full blast; while Anna was wearing a pair of basketball shorts, a t-shirt, and a pair of slippers, which were the only pair of shoes the she could wear.

"Dave, let do something, my butt is starting to fall asleep," Anna said.

"Well there is something you can tryout," Dave said as we walked over to Anna, and helped her up off of the floor. "Close your eyes and don't move," he said as he walked out of the room. Anna did not know what Dave was up to, but she would soon find out.

"Ok, keep you eyes closed and sit back," Dave said as helped Anna sit down. "Now open your eyes." Anna looked around and noticed that she was sitting in a beautiful navy blue glider, complete with a foot stool.

"Oh Dave, this is incredible. You didn't have to get this for me."

"But I wanted to. It was the most comfortable one that they had."

"You tried them out?" Anna asked, trying to picture Dave in a Babies R Us sitting in gliders and rocking chairs.

"I had to make sure that it was comfortable, but that is not the best part," Dave said as he pressed a button, and the chair started to vibrate. "It had a built in massager," Dave said with a huge smile on his face.

"Oh Dave I love it. Thank you so much," Anna said as she kissed him.

"Now, can I get back to getting this nursery finished before this baby is old enough to borrow the car?" Dave asked.

"Yes you may," Anna replied as she left Dave to get back to work. As Anna let the massage pad work its magic, she soon drifted off to sleep. Dave made sure that he worked quietly so that he would not wake her. After as few hours, Dave stood back to admire his masterpiece.

"Anna, wake up," Dave said as he rubbed her shoulder.

"I'm up, what's going on," Anna said. Soon she remembered where is was and started to look around. Tears slowly filled her eyes.

"Dave, it's absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much," Anna said trying to keep the tears from falling. She looked around to see stars painted on the ceiling, as well as a large smiling sum painted on the wall behind the crib. The paint on the wall darkened from light to dark blue, as the sky fades from day to night.

"It was my pleasure kid. Now how about we order some food; I'm starving," Dave suggested.

"I'm famished." Anna said and the two made their way to the kitchen to get ready for dinner.

Once the pizza arrived, Dave and Anna ate in the living room and watched TV. Even though Dave couldn't stand the show, he tolerated Desperate Housewives since it was Anna's favorite. The episode was interrupted by a bulletin from the National Weather Service. A tropical storm has been located off of the coast of Florida. This storm system will bring high winds, hail and flooding conditions to the southern half of Florida. Please stay tuned for further updates.

"Don't worry about it kid. It's just a big rain storm; we'll be ok," Dave reassured her as he rubbed her back, trying to calm Anna's nerve.

"I guess you're right. It's getting late. Why don't we go to bed?"

"You got it," Dave said as he helped Anna from the couch and upstairs to their bedroom.

Anna could not stay asleep. Dave made her feel a little better about the storm, but the sound of rain and thunder kept her up, as did the persistent pain in her lower back. Anna thought that walking around may help. As soon as she stood up, she felt a little bit of pressure, a pop, and then liquid began to run down her leg. She knew exactly what was going on.

"Dave, Dave, wake up. Come on Dave you got to wake up," Anna said as she tapped his shoulder.

"Kid, what's going on," Dave said as her turned on the lamp on the nightstand. As the light illuminated the room, he saw Anna in front of him, her night gown soaking wet. "Anna, are you ok?"

"My water broke," she said. The light flickered and went dark. They had lost power.
