Readers: Pay very close attention in this chapter. There is a hint in there that'll tell you how close the Undertaker is to finding her =)

An Apology

Living alone was pretty scary at first. I didn't have many people to talk to, or hang out with and most of all, my belly was getting bigger with each passing month. So far I had lived alone for four months. During that time frame, I had about five visits from my dad, the baby's room decorated, and I had discovered that I was going to have a little girl. Leaving the house for groceries every now and then was pretty nerve racking. I always had to wear a wig with sunglasses to hide my appearance. On top of that, driving was becoming a hassle with my belly in the way. Good thing I only had three months to go.

I barley watched TV unless it was an episode of Raw coming on. After my "disappearance" the Undertaker apparently abandoned his ministry and left the company due to the fact that he wasn't getting his way with Vince McMahon. Although it sounded like something he would do, I couldn't help but wonder if he was secretly looking for me.

"Good morning dad," I said one morning when he called.

"Hey honey, how are you doing?" he asked.

I sighed and mixed my fruit punch with some cut up honeydew. "Oh nothing much just making some juice,"

"That's good. Did you get my letter and the package with it?" he asked.

I turned towards the front door with a sigh, "I don't know let me check the mail real fast. What did you send me?"

"Oh just a few things for the baby and to tell you that Melissa was found alive." He said.

I gasped with excitement, "Oh my gosh really?"

"Yea, they found her in Shawn's basement but here's the kicker…she was hiding from her mom." He said.

"Why?" I asked as I pulled open the front door.

"Because like you, she was pregnant." He said.

"Was?" I asked as I picked up the package that was on the front porch.

He sighed, "She was a three months ahead of you."

"So she had the baby then?" I asked.

"Yea. Anyways, she didn't want anyone to know about it since Shawn is actually much older than he let on." He said.

"Older my ass…the man is a damn commissioner of a huge company!" I said as I stepped back into the house and shut the door with my foot. "I can't believe he even had me fooled."

"Shawn's a great actor Serena. Don't feel bad about being fooled." He said.

I smiled and sat the package down on the counter. I then opened a drawer and pulled out some shears so I could open it up.

"So how have things been? Any sign of my baby's demented father?" I asked as I dug the blade of the shears into the box and began slicing the tape open.

"No, but there was a rumor that he moved to Texas and had a huge house built," he said. "I guess he's getting married or something."

I didn't know why, but hearing that he was getting married really bothered me. I bit my lip for a second and then shook of the feeling.

"Oh…that's cool." I said.

"What's the matter Serena?" my dad asked. "Don't tell me you're upset about him moving on."

I sighed as I opened up the box, "Uh…no. Just surprised that's all."

He sighed. "Listen…I know how you're feeling but I think it's best for you and the baby if you just move on."

A tear fell from my eye, "I know dad but, he deserves to know that I'm having this kid. I mean he did help me make it after all…"

"True, but he's a dangerous man Serena. I don't want anything happening to you or the baby."

I sighed, "Ok dad."

"I'm just doing what's best for you." He said.

I wiped the tears from my face before opening up the package. I froze when I saw what was inside…the black dress and veil from the night the Undertaker sacrificed me.

"Do you like what was in the package?" my dad asked. "I'm sure you can put it somewhere in the baby's room."

I kept staring at it before deciding not to tell my dad what I was seeing. I then checked the front of the box and saw that it wasn't mailed from my dad's address.

"Uh…yea…it's nice. Thanks so much." I said before hearing a knock at the door. "Um dad, let me call you back."

"Alright. Be safe honey." He said.

I nodded, "I will, bye."

I didn't wait for him to hang up before I did. I sat the phone down and headed to the door, wondering who could be knocking. I checked the peephole and saw a man from the Ups store holding another package. I sighed with relief and then opened the door.

"Hello ma'am, are you Margret?" he asked.

I nodded, "Yes."

"Well I've got a package here for you to sign for." He said.

I nodded and signed the sheet of paper as the winter cold blew past me.

"When are you due?" he asked me.

"In a few months." I said with a smile.

He nodded, "Well let me get this inside for you, it's really heavy."

I nodded and stepped aside so he could put the package where I wanted it to go, the baby's room.

"There you go ma'am, you take care of yourself now. It's real cold out here." He said.

I smiled, "Thanks so much. Have a nice day."

"You're welcome ma'am."

Once he left, I locked my door and then went back to the kitchen to investigate the first package I got. My hands trembled as I picked up the dress and looked at it.

"He found me…" I said to myself before spotting a letter in the box. I picked it up and unfolded it, reading the words out loud to myself.

"Hello Serena. Please don't be alarmed…this is from Shawn. I just wanted to return it to you since Mark can't find you. I'm really sorry about what I did, but you must understand that I had no choice. The Undertaker told me to track down the closest living relative that Stone cold had. I almost backed out of it when we became friends but…he had my son captive. I'm so sorry for what I did to you. Hopefully you'll forgive me someday. Shawn."

I sighed to myself after reading the letter. How could Shawn even think to apologize right now? He didn't just trick me, he took my virginity too! What an ass… I picked up the package and then took it to my closet in the hallway. After that, I went upstairs and opened the package my father sent me. A huge smile formed on my face when I pulled out a small lamp that had angels all over it. I unwrapped it and then sat it in front of the window on the little dresser. I then rubbed my belly with a smile.

"I can't wait to finally meet you sweetie." I said before leaving her room. I ended up going to my living room and falling asleep on the couch, completely forgetting to lock my front door…

Readers: If you didn't figure it out…think about this…how did Shawn know where she was?
