Chapter 10

The next couple weeks were amazing. She couldn't help but smile every day. She would call Jeff every other day and he would call her the days she didn't call him. She loved talking to him. She got to know him all over again and she was happy. Taylor and Cassie had never seen her happier.

"Hey Ally, are you going to be inviting Jeff to Nicole's birthday party?" Taylor asked winking at Alexis.

"Actually, I was thinking about maybe, possibly, having a surprise party for him too."

"Oh yea, I forgot it was his birthday too."

"I think that is an awesome idea Ally. That way you will definitely get to see him. He'll have to come." Cassie said getting all excited.

"Well, first I have to talk to Shannon or Matt and make sure they can come up here. They are always so busy wrestling and everything…" she was interrupted by the ringing of Alexis' cell phone. "One second guys…" she said as she picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Alex" Alexis got scared for a second, but relaxed when she realized it was Shannon.

"Hey Shan, what's up?"

"Oh, nothin' much, I was just returning your phone call."

"I almost forgot that I called you."

"Well, now I feel so special."

"You should, you are the only one who knows the truth."

"Yea, about that, when are you going to tell Jeff and the rest of the gang?" Alexis froze on the other end. "Alexis…"

"I don't know Shannon. Everything is going perfect right now. I don't want to screw that up."

"Why would you screw it up? I don't think anyone would be mad. They would be happy to have you back in their lives."

"But I am back in their lives, just not as Alexis Jacklin. Can we please drop this right now? We talk about it every time you call me."

"Yea, if you really want to."

"Thank you. I do want to tell everyone, but I haven't found a good time yet."

"Okay, if you say so. Now, what did you want?"

"Please don't be mad Shan."

"Don't worry, I'm not mad."

"Okay" Alexis said not sounding so convinced. "Well, I was just wondering if you guys were going to be busy on the 31st of August."

"Um, actually, I think we have a couple days off. We were just going to be going home. Why?"

"Well, I was thinking about having a birthday party for Nicole and seeing as Jeff's is the same day…"

"Ahh, you want to have a party for your daughter and boyfriend."
"Okay, first, Jeff is not my boyfriend and second, I think it would be nice to have you guys come to my daughter's 3rd birthday party."

"Well, if you put it that way, then we really have no choice but to come."

"Thanks. You have no idea how much this is going to mean to Nicole and to me. I'm excited to see you guys again."

"Yea, I know you are excited to see Jeff, but I actually have to go. I'll give you a call later this week to talk about how this party is going to go."

"All right, I'll talk to you later Shannon."

"Love you Alex. Bye."

"Love you too Shan. Bye." She hung up the phone with a big smile.

"Well, what did he say?" Taylor asked.
"He said that they would definitely come to the party. Shannon is going to call me back to discuss the details."

Shannon called later that week and they discussed everything. He was going to let Matt and a couple other people in on the surprise and then they were going to tell Jeff that they had to go to Wisconsin to see Alexis. They weren't going to tell him about the party at all. They wanted it to be a huge surprise. Alexis was getting more and more excited the closer the time came. It was so hard for her not to say anything to Jeff, but Shannon had told her that Jeff thought they were going to be surprising her as well.
