Cameron went to find J.P. The second he spotted her, he took her into his arms, having an idea as to how difficult it was letting go of someone so close to her.

"You need to go home tonight. I've got to go straight to the airport and wait for Cyndi to get off."

"Well, I know Cyndi has a set of house keys with her, so if you'll let me take yours, I'll just go to the house."

"I don't care at this point, as long as you get home safe."

J.P. ended up getting a ride from James as Cameron headed to the airport. Once down by the baggage claim area, she called Cyndi and the boys to let them know she had arrived in one piece. Several hours and quite a few cigarettes later, Cyndi finally got off and they headed home. As the two finally got there, Cameron instantly went to bed. She snuggled up to J.P. forgetting the fact that her hands had to be ice cold from the elements. J.P. jumped, and then calmed down once he realized it was Cameron. The poor baby, she could tell he was half asleep.

"Je vous ami."

"Et je vous ami."

J.P. was quick to go to sleep, but Cameron wasn't. For once, she was thankful the office was closed until the 29th, which was the night of their "New Year's Eve Bash". The next few days were a blur to Cameron, as she now faced walking into the fairgrounds and Stadium Inn and not having Sircy there with her. Christmas arrived, and all slowly moseyed in the arena from Lisa and Bully's Christmas dinner. The show went on, as was in the script. J.P. came out only to do a promo trying to rally the fans behind his replacement. After the show was over, J.P. and Cameron went back to her place. Cameron showered and changed, ready to go to bed. She had given J.P. his Christmas present earlier in the day, which was the Canadian flag belt buckle he had worn during the show. Cameron had resigned her self to the fact that she wasn't getting anything from him. Due to the outrageous hospital bills from the surgery, she completely understood. J.P. had talked to Kat earlier, and they had compromised so Thunder could sleep in her floor for the night. J.P. entered Cameron's room to find she was already lying in bed watching television. Without warning, he reached over and turned it off, then proceeding to close and lock the door.

"What are you doing? Thunder isn't going to take too kindly to being locked out of his room."

"He's with Kat tonight baby."

"Okay…"

"I know it's a little late, but Christmas isn't over yet. Besides I still have to give you your present."

"I get a present?"

"What did you think? You think you weren't getting anything from me for Christmas?"

"Well, yea. I wasn't expecting anything. With everything going on, I am just happy I get to spend Christmas with you."

"That's why I love you so much, right there. It makes it so much easier to lavish you, because you've already given me something no amount of money in the world could buy. You've given me all of you. I wouldn't trade that for anything. Close your eyes."

Cameron did as she was asked. Soon she could feel him kneeling in front of her.

"Open your eyes beautiful."

Cameron opened her eyes and saw a beautiful 14k ruby and diamond ring. It was simple, but elegant.

"It's a promise ring. I know it sounds so high school, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it was the present I was looking for. With this ring, I promise to love you. I promise never to push you away again. I promise that no matter what, you'll always have my heart. It was a little quick to talk marriage, but this is the next best thing."

"Now I don't feel so stupid. (laughs)"

"Why would you feel stupid baby?"

"Because I got you something else."

"Honey, you didn't have to."

"I did. You've done so much for me in the little time we've been together, I thought it would be the least I could do."

With that, Cameron reached under her bed and pulled out a small box, placing it in J.P.'s hands. J.P. sat on the bed beside her and began opening it. As his interest was primarily on the box in his lap, Cameron sat beside him, nervously twiddling her thumbs. As he opened the box a small smile appeared on his face. He lifted the dog tags from the box and read the engraving. In that instant, he knew she had to go to a lot of trouble to get this. It was a replica of his Canadian Infantry dog tags. It touched him that she would do this for him, as she probably had no idea how much it meant. Then he flipped them over. The words there touched his heart.

"Thank you for being my hero. Je vous ami."

J.P. pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. He and Cameron ended up making love that night. The next few days went quick and soon it was the night before J.P. was to go to Canada. That was also the night of USA's New Year's Eve Bash at Stadium Inn. It was the last show for the year, and then following, would be a party with the fans and wrestlers. Momma let J.P. wrestle one last match before he left. When he came out, Cameron could tell the sadness in his eyes as he made his way around the ring. After the match, he went downstairs and got dressed in his street clothes. During intermission, Cameron was in the big room when Jennifer walked up to her letting her know J.P. was in the bar. Cameron knew he had planned on staying during the party as she had to work. So she went into the bar and noticed he was already drinking. The thing that alarmed her was that it wasn't his usual drink. She walked up to him.

"You're starting early aren't you baby?"

She didn't expect him to say what he did next. He hadn't spoken to her with that much malice since Thanksgiving night. She knew it had to be the alcohol but it didn't change the fact that it hurt.

"Well yea it looks that way doesn't it?"

Cameron took a deep breath and walked away back into the big room. It took everything in her to keep from crying. Steve even noticed her change in demeanor within the matter of minutes. The show finished, and Cameron had to run and get the alcohol for her as she didn't drink the beer that the bar served. She and JP were going to ride together, as Cyndi had taken the car that day. She walked back into the bar, and there JP sat, still drinking, now with another female. Oh no, that wasn't going to fly. This bitch was all up in his lap, and he was making no effort to remove her even after he had saw Cameron. That pissed Cameron off to no end and she stormed out of the bar and the hotel and began the walk to the nearest convenience store about 2 miles up the road. It was cold outside, but she didn't feel it, as her current temperament was keeping her warm enough. She had just entered the parking lot of the hotel returning from her walk with alcohol in hand when a friend of hers stopped her.

"Cameron where did you go?"

"I went to the store since someone who was supposed to take me just forgot about me."

About that time, she noticed two people over under the overhang of the hotel. She immediately knew who was standing over there and noticed him looking at her.

"Cam, I would have taken you, you know that."

"Beau, I had to walk. I'm sorry if I worried you, but I had to."

"What's wrong baby girl?"

"Fuck the Canadian Jackass and the horse he rode in on! I'm going in and having fun damn it."

Without so much as a word to J.P. who was still standing there not 10 feet from her, Cameron walked into the hotel and back into the room. As soon as she got everything settled, she was popping the top off of a Bacardi O3. She had downed 2 in less than 10 minutes. That was when she noticed Justice and some of the TNA office guys out in the hallway. She made her way over to Justice and hugged him. He instantly knew something was wrong due to the forced smile on Cameron's face.

"What's wrong Baby Girl?"

"Nothing once I get a few more drinks in me."

"You know that isn't going to fly with me. Now tell me what's wrong."

"All I'm going to say is fuck the Canadian Jackass and the horse he rode in on. He wants to cop an attitude with me, and then have another bitch on his lap, then fine."

"He did what?"

"I'm not repeating myself Justice. You can come in if you want; I'm going in and having some fun with or without him."

"I may come in for a minute in a little bit. You go have as much fun as you can Baby Girl."
