So, I ended the last chapter with Mercy sleeping with Chad. I know, it wasn't what you guys would've wanted, but it's just what came out. I'll try to make things look up for everyone.

**MERCY'S HOUSE IN D.C.**

/The next morning/

You couldn't believe what happened. You slept with Chad. You didn't know what to do. What were you going to tell Shannon? There was no way that things were going to get any better this way. Chad was laying next to you. You got up from the bed and went downstairs. The doorbell rang. Not knowing who it could been, you answered it.

"Dave!" You couldn't believe it. What was he doing here?

"Hey, sis, thought I come kidnap you."

"I'm fine, Dave, you don't have to kidnap me."

"Come on, you were practically ready to break up with Shannon, I think you do need to be kidnapped."

"Look, I'm fine."

"Hey Mercy! I heard the doorbell ring! Who was it?" He walked towards the door. "Oh, hey, Dave, what's going on?" Complete silence. "Well, I'm assuming this is family stuff, so I'm going to go make breakfast." Chad walked away.

Oh shit, this wasn't good. I could hear Dave now. I saw the look on Dave's face. "Dave, I can explain."

"Explain what? That you slept with Chad! I don't think that I need to hear your explanation! What about Shannon? You really think he's going to forgive you?"

"You're not going to tell him are you?"

"No, I could never do that to that poor boy. He's going through enough. But you can't keep it from him forever. He's going to have to know sooner or later. But I'm thinking sooner rather than later."

"I know, I know. I can't believe it happened but he came over to check on me since he saw the whole situation all over the internet."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, apparently Crystal went to all the wrestling journalists and got her story out there. Chad saw it and came to comfort me. We talked. On top of that I saw that he was changing. He wasn't the same Chad anymore."

"Look, it shouldn't matter. You should've just told him to go when he told you that and just called Shannon and told him. But, you know the consequences for what you did. So much for kidnapping you. I'm just going to go. I'll catch you later." Dave walked away.

I could see the disappointment in Dave's eyes. What have I done. You closed the door and walked into the kitchen.

/Normal POV/

**WHISPERING PINES, NC**

/Wednesday afternoon/

"I just don't know what to do. I don't want to abandon my kid, but I sure as hell, don't wanna lose Mercy. She's an amazing girl. I just don't know what I'd do without her."

"Listen, Shannon, you gotta do the right thing. Besides, the kid might not even be yours. You'll know by tomorrow when the DNA results come in." I just don't understand why Shannon is even thinking this kid is his. Crystal had always been known for cheating on him. Uh, that stupid bitch, I hate her for doing this to my family.

"Dude, you should see this." Jeff was in Shannon's computer room checking out the stuff on the Hardy Show website. "This is something you gotta see." We head to the computer room and there it was on YouTube.

"What the hell?" It was Crystal. What the hell was this whore doing? She was doing yet another interview. I can't believe this.

/Interview w/Crystal/

Off the Record w/Michael Landsberg (don't know if it even still shows but I saw it an old interview w/Matt, Jeff, and Lita)

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, lately there's been a hot topic floating around the wrestling world about WWE Superstar, Shannon Moore. If you've been living under a rock and haven't heard about this situation, I'm going to catch you up in just a minute." That's when the whole intro goes on. "Today, I am going to be interviewing the young lady that brought this whole story to light, Crystal Moore (just figured she wouldn't have changed her name). "Welcome Crystal."

"Thank you for having me."

"So, Crystal, you were married to Shannon quite awhile back, why come out now about your son?"

"I just wanted people to know about him. About the fact that Shannon does have a son."

"Why don't you tell us a little about him."

"Well, he's a very outgoing little boy. He's just like Shannon in every way. He's always trying to climb and jump off couches and plenty of other things. All this and he's only three years old."

"Looks like you're little boy has a very bright future in the wrestling business."

"Well, maybe. I'm sure he'll be as successful as his daddy. He's very talented."

The interview went on.

/Back at Shannon's/

No fucking way. I can't believe that bitch. Uh.

"I told you guys were going to wanna see this."

"Yeah, I'm glad that you showed this to us. Make me more pissed off at that stupid girl more than I already am."

"Babe, Shannon needs to know what she's doing out there. She's saying this on practically every interview. This just happened to be the first live interview."

"Thanks Jeff." Shannon said and then just walked away.

"Way to go babe," as I walked after him. He was in the dining room.

"Why is she doing this to me? She's ruining my life and my career. Because of this Vince isn't letting me work any matches."

"What? You told me it was because the cruiser weight division was diminishing."

"That's part of it. But James is still getting worked. Vince told me himself this whole thing wasn't good for business. That the fans were starting to have a negative reaction to this whole thing."

"What?!"

"Yeah, that was my reaction. I just have to believe that this isn't something that's not going away. I mean, come on, I'm already losing Mercy. This is just going to be my life."

"Don't worry, we'll get through this. Look, we'll talk next week when yawl get back. I gotta head to the airport already."

"Alright, good luck tomorrow."

What is Shannon going to do? I wanna help but I don't know how. I head home with Jeff as I grab my bag. "Jeff, babe?"

"What is it hun?"

"Do you think this whole thing will be over soon? I hate seeing Shannon this way."

"Everything's going to be alright. You need to stop being so in Shannon's business. You're forgetting about us."

"What are you talking about?"

"Babe, do you even remember the last time we were alone...together. Matt and Amy spend more time together than we do. And she's still living in Georgia."

"Babe, I'm sorry. Please, don't be mad."

"I'm not mad. I just wanna spend time with you, alone. It's bad enough you left the WWE for TNA, and I understand why you did it. I knew that meant that I wasn't going to be able to see you as often and vice versa, but when you come home you head to Shannon's house."

"He's my cousin. He's family."

"And I understand that, but how are we going to make it when you can't even spend the little time that we have together over with Shannon."

"Jeff, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I need a break. Don't worry, you don't have to leave, I'll stay at Matt's." I couldn't believe it. What was going on around here? First, Shannon and Mercy and now Jeff and me. This wasn't good. Its like our little world was turning upside down. And Crystal was to blame.
