(Thanks to all of you who read and review. I am honored. I must warn you, there's quite a bit of swearing in this chapter. Please let me know what you think! There's a few more chapters of this in the works, then I'll be working on my other TNA story. Check them out! Thank to you all! - Tristen)

"So, how have you been, baby?" I just stared at him. How the fuck was I supposed to respond to that? I sat at my desk, across from him. Matches were still going on, but all I could think about was this. Danny... my Danny... was back from the grave.

"Danny... what the hell happened out there? What is going on here?" I put my head in my hands, and almost started crying.

"Sheesh, I thought you'd be happy to see me." His Southern drawl, like AJ's was noticeable. It's hard to recall how I felt at the time. So many thoughts were zipping through my mind... I'm surprised I could think at all.

"I don't know if I'd call it happy. Hell, I don't know what to think! Wait." Danny looked up at me, with those brown eyes that had captivated me back in high school. "If you didn't die, then what did happen to you?"

I could see the fear behind his eyes, as he was trying to find an answer. "I'm not going to dick around, Adrie." He sighed as he muttered the nickname he gave me. "I was scared. When you told me that you were pregnant... Victoria, how is she?" I froze. "How's our baby, Adrie?"

All I could do was cry. "She's dead, Danny." I finally managed to respond.

"Dead? What do you mean, dead?" For the first time, I saw him on the verge of tears. This was a man who never cried.

"I miscarried after your funeral. I was under so much stress..." I just kept crying. All he could do was sit there in shock. I looked up into his eyes. "Why do you care? You didn't want her anyway!"

"That's a lie, Adriane! I loved that little girl." I jumped up from my chair, in disbelief.

"Oh yeah, then why did you ask me to get an abortion, Danny?"

"I was being logical. Adriane, the band was going nowhere. We couldn't even take care of ourselves, let alone a baby! I was thinking in our best interest!"

"Yeah, so that's why you had to fake your death? Real smart, Danny. Real fucking smart!"

"Look," He stood up and took my hand. "I know I fucked up. Real bad. I was looking out for you. I knew that your life would be better if I left."

"Then why didn't you just ask for a divorce? If you were unhappy, then we could have worked it out."

"You know my family hates divorce. They'd disown me."

"Well, you should have thought about that before showing up here tonight. You know your whole family saw what happened out there! They're going to disown you anyway." He muttered a "fuck" then sat back down. He knew I was right. "Why the fuck did you show up anyway?"

"Daniels and Joe paid me. They said they wouldn't hurt you if I showed up. They just don't want you and AJ together. Why is beyond me. They told me to convince you to come back to me."

I thought long and hard about what to say next. Those few seconds felt like eternity. Here was the man I was legally bound to, trying to win me back. All I could think about... was AJ.

"Well, I'm sorry, Danny. You already dug your grave, and you took our daughter with you. Now I'll be damned if I let it happen again. I want a divorce. I'll get the papers to you ASAP. Good night." I was starting to walk out when he grabbed me by the arm.

"What do you mean 'let it happen again?"

"I'm pregnant, Danny. With AJ's child. Once he finds out, nothing will break us apart. Not Traci, not Daniels, not you. " I walked out if the room, and rushed to the parking lot. I had to get home, to my soulmate... to my AJ. He had to know about our child. I dialed a number, and got two rings before I heard his voice.

"Hello?"

"Hey, AJ." I got into my car and started the engine.

"Adriane? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Listen, I'm on my way home now. If I'm not back by midnight, something happened to me. I just left Universal's parking lot. I'm going to haul ass and get back to you."

"What about Danny?"

"I'll tell you everything once I get home. Just know that I'm coming home to you, baby." I smiled at the word 'baby'. "I love you, AJ."

"I love you too, Adriane. Get your ass home. Bye." I hung up, and focused on the road.

I knew that Danny would probably tell the Triumvirate of Evil that I was pregnant. I was on my way home to my love, so it didn't matter at the moment. I was rehearsing how to tell him. How do you say that you're pregnant to the man you love? I figured it out, and headed home.

So now all that stood in my way was a long stretch of highway.
