Chapter 9- Truth
They met at a restaurant, secluded from fans and where their privacy would be respected. Kane smiled to Lee as she sat in silence for a while. "Deadman tells me there is something important you wanted to say… He has the strangest theories you know. He thinks he knows the father of your kid"
Lee gave a nervous laughter. "You don't say…. Kane… how are you and the Mrs. doing?" she asked.
Kane took a deep breath and sighed. "I don't know… She wanted me back a few weeks after being apart… I… I don't feel the same as before… she said something hurtful a few nights ago… and it reminded me of what you said."
"Oh… thanks?" Lee said in an uncertain tone.
"No it's a good thing. She said she was the only one who could love me for the way I am… but… you said looks aren't everything… if they were then people should be jailed… remember?"
"I remember" she whispered.
"I just don't think I should go back to her, Taker has been dead set against it for a strange reason. He told me you have a valid one, Lee… what is it?" he asked.
Lee bit her lip as she tried to tell Kane her reason. "Well… there's been a reason I avoided you since… well… you know… Kane… I think… you're…"
"Oh my God it's Kane!" called a group of women fans. They swarmed the table and tried to get Kane's autograph.
"Ladies please, after my meal!" Kane pleaded.
Luckily the restaurant had security that was quick to escort them out. Kane had to adjust his shirt and looked back to Lee. "Sorry, you were saying?"
"Kane I think you're the father!" Lee blurred out.
Stunned to her comment, it brought a smile to his lips and a small laugh. "Oh that's a good one. Do you know how hard I've tried to have kids back with my Mrs.? If you think a drunken one night stand did it, I would have tried that ages ago!"
"I'm serious!" Lee insisted. "It's been the reason why I have been avoiding you! I think you're the father…"
"How much did Taker pay you for that one?" Kane thought Lee was joking until she got up and left. Rather stunned to her sudden reaction, Kane felt a pit form in his own stomach as a slap to the back of his head was felt. "OW!" he growled.
Turning he saw Taker standing with a pissed look on his face. "What the hell was that about? She pours her heart out and you think it's some sort of joke!"
"How can it be true? Neither of us remembers that night!"
"I saw you in the morning walking half naked to your hotel room. Jericho put you in Lee's room after she said it was ok since neither knew where you were staying in the hotel. Drunkenness causes stupidity!" Taker hissed. "And you have been the only guy to be with her in that time frame, Glen…" Taker paused as he called Kane by his real name. "You need to owe up to this"
Kane sat there silently as he took it all in, the waiter came by and saw he was upset and figured he wouldn't be ordering right now.
Meanwhile.
Lee just got to the hotel room, she was in tears and it didn't take long for the guys not to notice. Matt and Jeff were sitting in the lobby when they noticed how upset she was. "Lee! Hold up! What's wrong?" Jeff questioned.
"I… I can't talk about it" she muttered.
Matt sat her down as the Hardys took either side of her. "Ok you SO don't need this right now, not in your condition!" Matt said as he tried to get her to settle down. "Deep breaths, in and out"
She settled after a few minutes. "Ok, now what's wrong?" Jeff asked.
"I told the father he's the father…. But he doesn't believe me"
Both Hardys were stunned. "Who's the ass?" Matt demanded.
Lee shook her head, she wouldn't say. "I can't. I just don't think he understands just yet…. It's a lot to swallow. I'm just going to go to bed" She took her leave from the two Hardy Boys as they both fell silent.
Matt had been helping Lee out the most; he had made her new clothing to fit. The moment Kane and Taker walked in, they saw the Hardys. "Matt, Jeff have you seen Lee?" asked Kane.
"Yeah, she was upset. I don't know about you two but I think we need to find the ass that made her cry like that after telling them what happened. It takes guts for a young woman to tell the truth like that, and to have them LAUGH! The nerve" growled Matt.
"Not Kidding, I wouldn't mind a piece right now" hissed Jeff.
"Take your shots, I'll got the bullseye" said Kane as he hung his head lowly.
"Wait… it was YOU!" Matt demanded.
"I thought it was a joke! You know how hard I've tried for a kid, and to have it happen out of the blue for me?"
"Bet she didn't know that" muttered Jeff. Kane then realized… Lee had no idea.
"I should have listened to her better" Kane said below his breath.
"Damn right!" the Hardys growled.
"Enough with the tongue lashing boys, where's Lee now?"
"Probably her hotel room, she's been staying with the McMahons"
"My ass is SO fired" Kane muttered.
"Not yet it isn't!" Taker announced as he took Kane to the stairway.
