Ch 30

Three months had passed since the incidents at the castle. After Kane's funeral and burial on the castle grounds, they all returned to the states trying to get back to their normal everyday lives. Sabrina turned over the castle renovations to Shane surprising him. Shane split his time between the states and being at the castle checking on the progress. With Vince in jail for Kane's murder, Stephanie had taken over running the WWE making her very happy. She and Batista were still together and very much in love. Linda helped Stephanie out when she could but was spending most of her time with Sabrina overseeing the building of the replica of the castle in Maine. Sabrina rarely left Maine in the three months turning away invitations to visit Stephanie at the shows. Sabrina had kept in touch with Undertaker over the three months while he was on the road. Their relationship remained a friendship as Taker respected that Sabrina needed time to figure things out. He needed time on his own too to deal with losing his little brother. He concentrated on his career taking his turmoil out in the ring on his opponents. No matter how he tried he couldn't escape his love for Sabrina.

Undertaker was missing her like crazy and was planning to call her after his match that night to see if he could come visit her in Maine. He had already made arrangements with Stephanie to use one of the planes to go see Sabrina. He finished warming up going out for his match against Batista when he suddenly stopped in the hallway looking around.

"Damn it you miss that woman so much you're starting to feel like she is here," Taker cursed himself shaking his head forcing the feeling of her being close out of his mind as he headed for the ring.

Sabrina made her way through the backstage area hoping Undertaker wouldn't be upset about her coming to see him. She really needed to talk to him. Sabrina was almost to his locker room when she heard a familiar voice.

"Hello there pretty lady," Nash's voice came from behind her. "Looking for me?"

"Hi Nash, sorry no. I'm looking for Taker," Sabrina smiled at him.

"Lucky man, he is out in the ring at the moment. Have a minute to chat?" Nash leaned against a nearby wall crossing his arms.

"Sure, what about?" Sabrina looked up into his eyes.

"You know my spirit got to stay in this body, right?" Nash asked as she nodded yes. "Do you know why that happened?"

"I don't know maybe because you changed your evil ways. I think you were given a second chance. So many weird unusual things happened at that castle there is no way of explaining all of them," Sabrina closed her eyes for a minute still haunted by the memories of Kane anytime she thought back.

"I'm sorry didn't mean to upset you. I'm still in shock with everything that has happened and getting a second chance is something I never expected. I was a pretty evil bastard," Nash grinned at her.

"You definitely had your moments. You better use your second chance well and behave yourself," Sabrina tapped his chest. "I will see you around."

"See you later beautiful," Nash watched her walk away happy that had worked out their differences.

Undertaker finished his match going to his locker room wanting to hurry up and try to call Sabrina. He went through the door immediately stripping off his black shirt throwing it carelessly.

"You should watch where you're throwing things," Sabrina's voice made him freeze for a moment as he shook his head not believing she was there. He slowly turned seeing her sitting on a chair holding his shirt. He felt his heart beat out of control at how beautiful she looked in the lilac tank top and matching short skirt showing off her attractive long legs. "Surprise," she said softly standing up.

"Sabrina," he slowly said her name going towards her picking her up giving her a big hug squeezing her tight to make sure she was real. "I was just about to call you. I can't believe you are here."

"I can leave if it's a bad surprise," she said as he slowly put her down not really wanting to let her go.

"Don't you even dare try to leave. Its time we had a long talk about all that has happened," Taker deeply sighed. "I have missed you."

"I've missed you too," Sabrina said thinking of how much she had missed him the last three months. So many times she had wanted to come see him like this but always stopped herself not wanting to hurt him while she was still dealing with everything that had happened.

"Your distance has hurt me some," Undertaker said not meaning to hear her thoughts but couldn't help it.

"Sorry I forgot you can hear my thoughts. I figured that would go away when we left the castle," Sabrina couldn't help smiling. She felt good being around him again.

"Its not a bad thing will always be able to tell what's on your mind," Taker sat down on the bench pulling her down next to him. "Let me get change then seriously we need to talk."

"Ok, I agree with you. Can't move on till we resolve things between us," Sabrina's leg brushed against his arm sending tingles through her body. He felt the warm feelings too smiling hoping resolve didn't mean ending their relationship permanently.

"I'll be right back," Taker caressed her hand before going to change. Sabrina sat quietly waiting for him. She was surprised at how fast he changed into his t-shirt and jeans looking ruggedly handsome as he sat back down next to her. "I'm all yours, where would you like to go?"

"Anywhere we can talk," Sabrina didn't care where she just had questions for him that she hoped he could answer.

"Ok, any objections to my hotel room and room service for a late night snack?" Undertaker couldn't stop looking at her not believing she was there with him. He could actually touch her if he wanted to and he definitely wanted to but didn't want to scare her off.

"That's fine with me," Sabrina said feeling like he was as troubled as her at the moment. She hoped tonight they could finally put to rest all that was haunting them.

Undertaker opened the door to his suite moving to the side letting her pass. He turned on the lights as she sat down on the sofa nervously rubbing her hands together.

"Taker, do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Sabrina said as he sat down across from her on a chair.

"Go for it," Taker leaned back in the chair getting comfortable preparing himself for her questions.

"Do you remember your past completely?" Sabrina asked him softly not wanting to upset him.

"If you mean do I remember the years without you, raising our children with the help of your mother. Yes I do every lonely moment," Taker got tears in his eyes looking away from her. "The many nights I sat telling our son and daughter about their mother. I told them endless stories about how you were watching them from heaven. Our daughter grew up calling you her angel. She would spend hours in the garden talking to you. Our son was strong and stubborn like me but he looked so much like you. He was a fair and wise prince knowing all the in and outs of running the kingdom. I was so proud of our children watching them grow. I treasured my every moment with them because it was like having a piece of you with me. I wept every night wanting you in my arms. I was never the same after your death. Our children were the only reason I kept living. Once they were old enough and our daughter was married to a kind man. I gave up on life dying shortly after her wedding." Taker stopped resting his head in his hands wiping the tears away. He heard her moving not expecting for her to come to him. He felt her gentle touch on his skin comforting him.

"No more tears it's the past," Sabrina wiped his tears away. "I'm sorry to make you relive that I just needed to know our children had a happy lives. Can I ask you one more question?"

"They had the best lives they could have without their mother. Sure baby girl," Taker said as she kneeled down in front of him on the floor.

"How could you love me so truly knowing all those years my heart was never truly yours?" Sabrina searched his eyes.

"You claimed my heart the first time I saw you. You were not only beautiful but you had an inner beauty that made you even more attractive to me. After you had our son, I knew I would never be able to get my heart back from you. It didn't matter to me that you loved Glen because when we were together you made me feel like I was the only one in your heart," Taker reached out caressing her cheek. "My love for you blinded me to your unfaithful ways. I knew you were spending nights with Glen. I just choose to not dwell on it because he had you for a few nights but you were my wife. We had the bond through our children. I knew you loved me when you saved my life twice."

"I don't know what to say. You have ever right to hate me even now I fell for Kane instantly not even giving you a chance," Sabrina got tears in her eyes.

"You fell for Kane because you didn't remember his betrayal. You blocked that from your memories," Undertaker deeply sighed seeing the tears pooling in her eyes. "Sabrina, we can't change what happened in the past or even a few months ago. We just have to move on. The question I have for you now is what is the true reason you came here tonight. You could have asked me these questions over the phone."

Sabrina nervously swallowed trying to find the words for what she wanted to tell him.
