Summary: John has been sentenced to two consecutive life terms in prison and away from the woman he loves. Trish is adapting to life without John, trying to stay strong for the sake of their newfound love. Can they survive the ultimate test to their relationship, one that neither of them expects or is prepared to fight?

Cause I want you,
And I feel you,
Crawling underneath my skin

The phone started to ring then, breaking Trish away from Jeff immediately as they both looked at the red light flashing as another ring rang through the living room. She looked back at Jeff before making her way to the phone, straightening out her clothing as she did. She was happy that no one was here to witness the mess she had surely become.

What was I thinking letting him kiss me that way? The man has done nothing but hurt me. I'm with John now and I'm having his baby!

She tried to push all of the questions and debate out of her mind and concentrate of the ringing phone before her. As she picked up the receiver, not knowing who could be on the other end, she released a breath as she heard the voice of one of her close friends.

"Trish you need to come down to the prison now. Something is going on here and I think John would want you here for it."

"Is he hurt again?" she asked him, holding her breath steadily until her friend spoke again.

"No, it's nothing like that. Look i don't want to explain it over the phone, so do you think you can get down here? I wouldn't ask to come if it wasn't really important. I think you are going to want to be here for this."

She told him she would be there as soon as possible and hung up the phone, looking back at the man she had just been kissing. It was like a sign that the call had been about John because it had opened her mind to the past again and made her remember just how happy with John she was. She didn't want to break that bond for anything. Not even for the love of her ever changing ex boyfriend.

"Jeff, that was Shawn. Something is going on at the prison and I need to get down there." She didn't bother to offer any apologies as she knew that any that she said she would not mean. The kiss between the two of them was just that, a kiss that two long ago lovers shared. A final goodbye really. The goodbye she had never had the chance to really say before now.

The look on Jeff's face showed that he understood what had happened would never happen again and that her heart lay with John, who she needed to go and be with right now. If he had been hurt by what hadn't been said but thought then he wasn't showing it.

Her final thought as they both left the house, each going in opposite directions was simple. Jeff had in his own way just finally let her go. Which meant that he really had changed. Something she was happy about. Not because they could get back together, but because they could now move on and not hold any baggage.

She was finally utterly and completely over Jeff Hardy.

She entered the room, the same kind of room she had been in the last time she had visited John and as she looked around the room she realized there were two people there that she didn't quite recognize.

"What's going on?" She asked, giving Shawn a quick hug before making her way over to where the man she loved sat. His expression showed that he was worn out, he hadn't been sleeping, his eyes looked like a raccoon's. All she wanted to do right in that moment was take the man home and take care of him properly. It was obvious that he wasn't fairing well in here.

Just thank the lord that he hasn't been in any more fights. She thought to herself as she wrapped her arms around the man she loved and turned to face the men that were invading their alone time.

Just what the hell was going on here and why were these two men here?

She didn't have much time to ponder it before one of the two men decided the time to talk had come. He introduced himself, the name meaning nothing to Trish. She kept studying both men trying to figure out what their game plan really was. Was John in more trouble then before or was this good news?

"We have news regarding your case Mr. Cena and we think the time has come to let you know that is. Since you do not have counsel, and have only requested to have these two individuals here with you right now, I think we can discuss what new information that we have."

"New information?" Shawn asked, before Trish could interject with the same question.

"About the night of the accident. It seems new information has come to light regarding Mr .a's role in the accident."

"Can you stop talking in riddles and just tell us what the hell that means?" She snapped, wanting to find out the truth before the anticipation drove her crazy. Didn't these guys know never to keep a pregnant woman waiting?

"It has come to light that while Mr. Cena should not have been behind the wheel of said vehicle on the night in question he did not cause the accident that resulted in the two deaths of the victims."

That was good right? She asked herself, not getting an answer but hoping that this was indeed good news. If John hadn't caused the accident then the verdict would have to be overturned and he would get released. That had to be the next step right?

"Excuse me but what does this mean?" John asked, keeping his voice controlled and calm. He wanted to shout from the rooftops at these men right now but knew that he needed to keep his wits about him or he might find himself in even more trouble then being in prison.

The second man opened his mouth to talk but before he had the chance to say another word, Trish stood to her feet and answered for him. "It means John that you didn't cause the accident which means you are going to have your verdict overturned."

"Not completely Ms. Stratus."

"What do you mean not completely? No judge in their right mind knowing that he didn't cause the accident would keep him here against his will!"

She was upset and she knew it but this was good news and the two men were trying to downplay it and make it seem like there was still more hardships to come. Why couldn't they just admit she was right about this?

"He was still driving under the influence and that is a serious offense. It also hasn't been John's first offense here in Canada for the same issue. He has been caught drinking here before. We cannot turn our backs on this. So while you might be right about his verdict getting overturned in terms of the deaths of the passengers of the other car, he will not get overturned for the DUI offense."

She felt the lump dive deeper into her stomach. She felt like she was going to be sick and it was not going to come out pretty. A DUI couldn't possibly be that much longer in jail right? At the least they had to move him into minimum security prison?

"How much longer do I need to stay in here?" John choked out, stunned by what was taking place now and how much better everything seemed to be looking with this new piece of news. He had never denied fault in this accident and someplace, somewhere someone was repaying him for that by saying that it would be overturned and he eventually would be a free man.

"Six months. Which would make your release somewhere near the beginning of February. I know this doesn't look like much because you still have to spend time here, but it is a real gift that we found the evidence at all."

Trish spoke up then, watching John's face change and feeling what he felt right there along with him. "What evidence?"

"There was another car on the road that night. The car was in front of John and caused the actual accident. Now John's blood alcohol made it easy to convict but he was not the person that caused the accident with the other car. He indeed hit a car but it was the car in front of him."

"How did you find all of this out? Why now, almost five months later?" Shawn asked, trying to get all the questions that were sure to be running through John's mind out in the open.

"The driver of the car came forward last night. We had to check out everything before we could come here and give you the news. It is legitimate. The driver of the car that killed those people is now being arrested as we speak."

There was only one thing that seemed to bother John throughout this entire thing. Just who was the man that had let him spend all those months in prison and away from the woman he loved. Just what kind of person would be so sick to do something like this?

"Who was it? Who caused the accident if it wasn't me?" John asked.

As the man answered he almost lost all sense of time and space. He knew the person that caused the accident and had run away from the scene. All these months letting him be charged and sent to prison, letting him almost die in here. His only thought now wasn't why it happened, because he now had the answer to that without anyone telling him anything other then the mans name. What needed to know now was what he was going to do the man when he finally got him alone.
