"What the hell, guys," I said shouting at Matt and Jeff. "I know Gil raised y'all right and not come bursting into peoples rooms without knocking!"
"I don't think that really matters right now," Jeff replied.
"No. What matters is that no way are you the father of Crystal's baby," Matt added.
"Guys, I have no doubt, this is my kid. He looks just like I did when I was a baby."
"Matt, Jeff, how the hell did you guys find out," I asked.
"I told them," Mercy said regretfully. "Well, I told Jeff, Matt just happened to overhear."
"You mean, Mercy knew about this?"
"Yeah, she was there when it happened."
"Don't you get it Shan, she's trying to trap you. She sees she was wrong," Matt said. "She told you herself she wanted a family with you, and now all of a sudden, she's got one. Come on, you're smarter than that."
"She said it herself, she forgot to take her birth control that day," You shouted shocking all of us. You'd been quiet this whole time.
"What? She forgot," I said looking at Shannon with a look that I used to give him that always said he'd just made a big mistake.
"How convenient, right," You continued to say.
"Babe, what are you doing? Why are you just getting all this off your chest when I asked you earlier about it."
"Because, this is so stupid. I'm just going to end up getting hurt again. And I can't handle that. I'm sorry Shannon, but I just can't do this." You end up walking out of the room and we all see you walk out the door.
"Hey, Mercy, where's the fire," you heard Andrew (the Bullet) say.
"Just…" you really didn't wanna talk to anyone so you left him unanswered and walked out the door.
"Mercy," I shouted.
"What?!"
"Look, I know its hard to take in but Shannon didn't deserve that."
"I just don't want to be hurt all over again. Not like Chad did to me."
"You don't have to stay here tonight. Just sleep on it. You can even stay with Jeff and me tonight."
"Alright, but it doesn't mean I'll change my mind."
/Normal POV/
/FF to Thursday/
**TNA IMPACT!**
It's time for another Impact show. I'm so excited about tonight. I'm still concerned about Mercy and Shannon though. They hadn't been dating for very long and already things are looking bad. I blame Crystal. Why would she show up after three years to tell Shannon about the kid.
"Hey, Natalie, you're up," I hear the tech guy say as I lace up my boots. I start heading out to the gorilla.
/IN THE RING/
There's a no disqualification match going on between Rhyno and Scott Steiner. Rhyno was out cold after Scott kicked him in the head. But it didn't look like he was done. As soon as I saw Scott grab a chair from under the ring I start to run out. The crowd starts going crazy and that's when I get to the ring and climb onto the top rope. When Scott turns around I come down on him with a hurricanrana. That's when I go back to the top and hit him the a moonsault and then roll out of the ring. After all of that Rhyno comes to and Scott starts to get up but not for long when Rhyno hit him with a gore. His music plays and I get back in the ring. He looks at the replay on the titan tron and realizes what happened. He gives me an angry look and walks off. I run after him.
/Commercial break/
*5 MINUTES LATER*
"Rhyno! Rhyno! Come on, please talk to me." He turns around. J.B. is following me to see what's going on. Rhyno just looks at me with anger in his eyes. "Say something."
"What were you thinking out there? Going after Scott Steiner? You could've been seriously hurt out there."
"I was just trying to help. Come on, you know I can take care of myself."
"Well, I don't need your help! I can beat Scott on my own!"
"Rhyno…" I started to say something but he walked away completely angry.
"Natalie, what were you thinking going out there," J.B. asked.
"What was I thinking? I was thinking that I was trying to help out a friend."
"But aren't you afraid after what you did to Scott Steiner that the Main Event Mafia is going to get back at you?"
"J.B. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. The Main Event Mafia doesn't scare me one bit. They could all just kiss my a**."
/After the Show/
I start packing my bags and to head home tomorrow morning. Its so weird that I'm not on the same schedule as Shannon and Matt anymore. And definitely not Jeff. So after my show, I get to go home to some peace and quiet before the boys come home.
/Mercy POV/
So, you stayed and Jeff and Natie's. You're on the plane getting ready to head back to work for the week. Dave said he'd meet you at the airport. You told him that you needed to talk to him.
/2 hours later/
**TORONTO**
You get off the plane and head to baggage claim. You see Dave and run up to him.
"I'm so happy to see you, bro."
"I'm happy to see you, too, sis." You let go of him and you can't help but still have a sad look on your face. "What's going on? Is it Shannon? Did he hurt you?"
"Well, kind of…not really" He could tell something was going on. You two head to the car.
"What is it? You know you can tell me anything." He says as he puts your luggage in the rental car.
"Well, it goes like this…" and you end up telling him the whole story on the way to the hotel.
