"Look alive Cena." Randy said to John who was supposed to be spotting him on the weights. "Do your job. I don't want one of these things to fall on me. You know how many ladies will be upset if something happens to the Lady Killer?"

John rolled his eyes. "Of course they would."

"Okay. That's enough." Randy said getting up from the weight lifting bench. "I don't want you to kill me. What the hell is wrong with you? We came to the gym to workout. Not so you could kill me. I could be watching football but you wanted to workout instead. You're lucky the Falcons don't play until tonight."

"Whatever. Let's-"

"Oh look," Randy interrupted him, "There's Chrsitian. Let's go say hi."

"Let's not." John said with a disgusted look on his face. "I promised Li I wouldn't hurt him."

"What?" Randy asked confused.

"Nothing." John answered.

"No. Not nothing. What happened? Why do you hate him all of a sudden?" He saw Christian coming over to them. "Too late, he's coming here himself."

"Hi John, Randy." Christian greeted them.

"Hey. What's up?" Randy greeted him, nudging John when he saw John staring daggers through Christian.

"Congratulations John. I saw Lita yesterday at the store and she told me the good news."

"Really?" John said finally speaking up. "Is it good news?"

"Dude what the hell?" Randy whispered confused.

Christian realized what John was talking about. "She told you?"

"Yea. You're lucky I promised her I wouldn't hurt you." John turned to look at Randy. "But Randy here didn't promise her such thing."

"Randy here doesn't even know what's going on." Randy hoped someone would fill him in.

"Look, I know what I did was horrible but-"

"But nothing." John interrupted him. "You're so lucky Dave doesn't know about this. He would never listen to Lita. For some stupid reason, she doesn't want anything to happen to you even after what you did."

"What did he do?" Randy asked still confused.

"Look John. It's really none of your business."

"She's one of my closest friends." John said. "You hurt her. This is my business. It became my business when I went to her house yesterday and saw her lying on the couch crying."

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Randy was once again ignored.

"I already talked to her about this yesterday. We're okay. I know what I did was horrible but we officially moved past it yesterday."

Randy did the only thing he could think of. He punched Christian in the face. "Now," he said glancing between Christian and John, "someone tell me why I did that?"

John smirked at Christian who was holding his nose. "You're lucky he doesn't know everything otherwise you would have more than your nose to worry about."

"Okay." Christian said calmly. "I know you did that for your friend so I'm not going to do anything about it."

The trio attracted attention which caused one of the trainers to come towards them and kick them out of the gym. "Well, that's one gym we won't be welcomed to anymore." Randy said getting into the car. "Why did I punch him?"

"Because you're crazy." John joked driving away.

"John."

"Li won't appreciate me telling you but you did punch him for her. Kind of."

"And...?"

John proceeded to tell Randy the story of what happened between Christian and Lita a bit over a year ago. "I'm gonna find him and punch him again. Better yet I'm going to cut his-" Randy said.

"No you're not." John cut him off. "Li is probably going to kill the both of us if she hears about this. No more damage. It was nice seeing you punch him though."

Randy smirked. "It felt nice punching him. Now I know it was worth it."

"Wow." John said.

"What?"

"You know you sleep around with loads of girls yet someone does something to Li and you want to kill him."

Randy rolled his eyes. "She's one of my closest friends. If I knew I got one of those girls pregnant, I would stick with them. Big difference between me and Christian." The rest of the ride to their apartment continued in silence other then the noise that was coming from the radio.


John opened the door to the apartment when he heard a loud persistent knocking at the door while he was watching the game that night with Randy and Maria, who was once again over.

"Hey Lita. What are you doin' here?"

"What the hell Cena?!" She started to yell making her way inside the apartment.

Oh shit, John thought, she knows. "Okay Li. Try to calm down."

"You know I hate nothing more than when someone tells me to calm down! I am calm!"

"No you're not." Randy spoke up. "You're yelling."

"Orton! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Lita punched him on the arm.

"Okay what was that for?" He asked confused.

"You punched Christian! Why would you do that?!"

"What?" Maria finally spoke up. She stayed quiet for the most part because she was a little scared of the red-head when she was in one of her moods, especially now since she was pregnant. She thought it was horrible dealing with her moods when she wasn't pregnant, that escalated a lot when she became pregnant.

"For you." Randy tried to say calmly. He knew Lita was angry but he didn't understand why she was getting pissed off at him, he only punched Christian for her.

"I didn't ask you to do that!" She turned to look at John. "Why would you tell him?! This wasn't your thing to tell him!"

"I know I'm sorry but he was there when we ran into Christian at the gym and I wasn't going to approach him, he approached us." He started to walk towards her putting his hands on her shoulders. "You need to sit down and calm down."

She shrugged his hands off of her shoulders. "No. I don't." She paused for a second. "Get me water." John looked over at Maria gesturing for her to get Lita water while he tried to calm her down. Maria came back with the water, the red-head taking it and drinking from the bottle. "Thanks." She said closing the bottle with cap. "I don't appreciate you telling him anything,"she said looking at John and then turning to look at Randy, "and I don't appreciate you punching him." She finally sat down on the couch. "Actually," she started to say turning again to look at Randy smiling a bit, "I appreciate you punching Christian just a little though."

"I only told him because he wanted to know why he punched Christian."

Lita looked on in shock. "You didn't even know why you punched him?"

Randy shrugged. "Well, John was talking to him about him hurting you and how he wanted to hurt him but he promised you he wouldn't hurt him and they weren't answering any of my questions so I decided they would answer my questions if I punched Christian. I mean, someone would have to tell me what happened."

Lita started laughing which caused the other three to look at her like she was crazy. "Okay. No more punching Christian, if either of you do see him again. I forgave him, sort of, not really, well we talked our problems out last night and I really thought that was going to be the end of it. Please let that punch be the end of it."

"Wait. I'm confused." Maria said.

"Stay confused." Lita replied.

Maria ignored her. "How did he hurt you?"

Lita looked at John who basically gave her a look that said 'your choice.' "Well," she sighed, "he did something bad." She was talking to her like she was a child.

"Duh."

"Really Maria, it's none of your business but you might find out one day cause Johnny boy over here is a dumb ass who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut sometimes. But if you must know, he got me pregnant, told me didn't want to have kids, acted distant for a while until he confessed that he slept with someone the night I told him I was pregnant. No questions." She said turning to look at the tv after she saw the shocked look on Maria's face. "Who's playing?"

"Falcons and Saints." Randy replied.

"Yea I don't know I asked, I don't care." Lita said getting up from the couch. "Don't do something you don't even know why you're doing it in the first place." Lita said to Randy. "You," she said turning to look at John, "keep your mouth shut. Dave doesn't need to know anything about this unless it comes from my mouth." She turned to look at Maria. "And you," She said giving her a threatening look, "if I ever find out you told anyone anything, I will hurt you. I may be pregnant but that won't stop me from kicking your ass."

"Lita." John said sternly.

"What? It's called a threat. I know she won't say anything." She glanced between the three gave them a smile which confused them. "Bye bye." She left.

"She's scary." Maria said, the other two nodding in agreement.

"How many mood changes were that in the small amount of time she was here?" Randy asked.

"Too much to count." John replied.

"Tell me all pregnant woman aren't like that." Randy said.

John snorted. "Please, you know how Li is even when she isn't pregnant. She's just using it as an excuse to be crazy."

"You two spend an awful amount of time together." Maria said looking at John.

Randy chuckled. He knew where this was going. It was a good thing neither of the two others were paying him any attention.

"What are you talking about?" John asked a bit confused.

"You and Lita. You two spend way too much time together."

"And that's a problem?"

"You spend more time with her than you do with me. It seems like you spend all your free time with her."

"I think I'm spending my current free time with you."

"Watching a stupid football game."

"Well you said you didn't care. You didn't suggest anything else to do."

"Maybe you should have."

John was getting annoyed with this. This was something that happened a lot lately. "What do you want me to do about it?"

Maria hesitated before she spoke again. "I think we should take a break."

Uh-oh, Randy thought, maybe I shouldn't be here for this. He got up slowly without the other two realizing what he was doing and went to his room.

"You want to break up because I'm spending a lot of time with my friend?"

"No, I want to take a break because you're spending too much time with someone who is having your baby. I think the only reason she asked you to have a baby with her was because she probably has some feelings for you."

John snorted. "Are you kidding? She's one of my closest friends. Plus, she told me that there's still a part of her that loves Christian. How can she have feelings for me when she still loves him?"

"She's confused? I don't know. But whatever it is I still want to take a break. Not completely breaking up but just taking a break."

"Okay. That probably is best. This has been happening way too much."

"Yea. Bye." Maria smiled at him, got up and left.

"Wow." Randy said coming out of his room. "Sorry man."

"Whatever. It's just a break. Could be good." John said focusing back on the game.


Lita sat in her car for a couple of minutes when she heard a knocking on her window which startled her and she let out a small scream until she saw who it was. "Damn it Vicki. Give me a heart attack why don't you."

"Dave sent me out here. We saw your car out here when you pulled up. It's been ten minutes. Not that I'm not happy to see you, why are you here all of a sudden? Are you okay? Don't you want to come inside?"

"No."

Victoria was confused. "Okay, then why are you here?"

"I need to talk to Dave but I don't want to." She headed over to Dave's house when she left Randy and John's apartment. She thought enough people knew already for this to slip and that she needed to tell Dave before someone accidentally told him and he seriously hurt Christian more than just the punch Randy gave him.

"Okay."

"But I need to."

"About what?"

"Something that I probably should have told him a while ago and now too many people know and I don't want someone to let it slip." That confused Victoria even more. "Okay, I think I'll come inside now and talk to him." Lita got out the car and her and Victoria made their way inside. She turned to look at Vicki. "Would you mind if I talk to him alone?"

"Not at all. If you need anything, I'll just be upstairs." She smiled at Lita and left.

"Finally you come inside." Dave said. "What's wrong?" He asked her when he saw the serious look on her face.

"I need to tell you something." She said cautiously.

"Okay."

"We should sit down first. Can I get some water? Actually some hard liquor sounds good right about now but obviously I can't drink so water will work. Let me get some water."

"Li," Dave said putting his hands on her shoulders trying to get her to calm down, "You sit down, I'll get you water." He went to get her water and came back handing it to her. She took a quick sip and put the glass on the table. "Okay, you want to start now?"

"Promise me you won't freak out."

"That doesn't sound good." He started to get worried.

"Please."

"If you think I'm going to freak out, then I probably will. Can't promise you that." He said honestly.

"Fine." She let out a breath. "Okay. Just here me out before you go ballistic." She continued after he nodded. "This... Um... I was... Well..."

"Okay Li." He interrupted her. "Breath. Take a deep breath and try to calm down." She did just that but it didn't help too much. "Take your time. I can see whatever it is is hard for you to say."

"Okay." It was quiet for a bit until she thought it was time for her to tell him the truth. "This isn't my first pregnancy." She said warily kind of afraid of his reaction.

"What?" He asked shocked.

"Let me finish please. It's already hard telling you without your questions or whatever."

"Okay."

"Alright. I was pregnant a little over a year ago. Obviously it was Christian's." She saw the look on his face. "I didn't have an abortion if that's what you're thinking. I would never do that." She tried not to cry thinking of all the hurt and pain she went through but she felt the tears. "Um, I told him I was pregnant and he freaked out and he said he didn't want to have any kids. And then he just left me that night and came back the next day. Then he was acting a bit distance for a while and then he... he told me..." She took another second before she continued not caring anymore about the tears that were pouring on her face. "He told me he slept with someone the night I told him I was pregnant." She had the intention of continuing the story until she heard Dave yell.

"What the hell?! I'm going to kill that punk!" He got from next to her but she put her hand on his and tried to stop him.

"You said you would listen to all of it before you reacted."

"I already heard enough. Look at you! You're crying because of that punk." He said fuming. He was so angry.

"Please."

He sighed sitting back down. "Fine."

"So then obviously I left him. I was afraid of telling anyone anything that happened and the fact that I was pregnant since we broke up then. Remember that night when I spent the night at the hospital back then and I lied and had the doctors tell you guys it was exhaustion and stress and some crap like that?" He nodded. "It wasn't. I had a miscarriage and my blood pressure level was very high and they wouldn't let me leave until it was normal again."

"I'm going to kill him!" Dave said getting up once again.

Victoria came rushing in the room after she heard Dave yell once again. "What's wrong? Why do you keep yelling?"

"That no good punk Christian got her pregnant over a year ago, told her he didn't want to have kids, cheated on her, and left her alone to deal with it and then the miscarriage that followed!"

Victoria was so shocked to hear all of this. "Oh Li." She said going over to the red-head. "Why didn't you ever tell us?"

"Because of this. Please Dave, stop it. Randy punched him today that should be enough."

"Randy punched him?" Dave asked. She nodded. "Why did Randy know about this before I did?" She decided to tell him about what happened yesterday when she ran into Christian at the store and then he came to her house and talked to her. And then how John came and saw her crying and how she told him everything and how Randy and John ran into in the gym and what happened there. "He should have done more than that."

"Please please please promise me you won't do anything to him. Please." She pleaded with him.

"I can't promise you that. He hurt you badly and I want to hurt him." He replied.

Lita shook her head. "You have to. For me."

"I want to hurt him for you."

"But I don't want you to."

"Lita."

"David."

"Fine." He gave in, he didn't want too but he did. "I hope Randy broke his nose."

"Me too." Victoria chimed in.

"So, you planning on telling mom and dad this?" He asked.

"I did."

"When?"

"I went over this morning because I had a feeling I should probably tell them. I left out the part that he slept with someone so don't tell them that." She conveniently left out the part where Christian had accused her of cheating on him with John and her being pregnant with John's kid instead of his own. She didn't think anyone knowing that was important, of course Trish knew everything about that.

"Okay. So you went through all of this yourself?"

She shook her head. "No, I told Trish. She knew. Well, I didn't tell her. She took me to the hospital and the doctor told her and then I told her everything."

"You should have told someone."

"I didn't think it was anyone's business. I wasn't ready."

"Okay." He said hugging his sister. "I love you don't think you have to hide something from me again. Especially something like this. I only want what's best for you."

"I know."She backed away from him ending the hug. "I think I should go now. I didn't even tell Trish I was leaving."

"Okay. Call me when you get home."

"Alright." She said smiling at her brother and Victoria. "Good night. Bye."

"I want to kill him." Dave said once Lita left.

"You promised her." Victoria reminded him.

"I know but that doesn't mean I don't want to kill him." He thought about it for a minute. "Actually, I don't want to kill him. I just want to beat him every day and watch him suffer."

"Dave."

"No, you saw how she was back then. We all knew something was wrong but she wouldn't tell anyone. She dealt with this herself. She said she had Trish, but you still saw the way she was back then. All broken and lost."

"Maybe I can kick his ass? I never made her any promises."

Dave smirked. "Great idea."


Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews.

Don't be fooled, this is not the end of Maria.
