Chapter 7
The weeks passed by quickly and Susan was now almost four months pregnant…and already starting to show. Thankfully, David had taken the news well and he seemed thoroughly excited by the prospect of being a daddy. She felt guilty for lying to him about her due date, but she felt that she was doing the right thing by trying to keep her family together.
She thought of Glen on occasion, more so now that she knew she was carrying his child. Even after all the heartache, memories of their night together could still make her smile. Glen seemed like a nice enough man...he was quiet…gentle…and he seemed like a very caring person. She found herself wondering if their child would have those same qualities.
On a couple of occasions, she had been brave enough to flip the channel over to the wrestling programs, hoping to catch a glimpse of him, curious as to what kind of character he played on the show. So far she hadn't seen him wrestle, although with his size, she was sure that she would recognize him the moment she saw him. But for the most part, she tried to push all thoughts of him from her mind. Once she started thinking about him, that's when the panic usually started to set in. What if David discovered the truth? What if he started to suspect that the baby wasn't his? What if she lost her husband and her family fell apart?
Don't be ridiculous!, she would tell herself, in a vain attempt to make herself feel better. You're doing the right thing. Nobody knows what happened that night. There's no way he could ever find out. It was a chance encounter…one night of passion. Nothing more. You'll never see that man again as long as you live.

John smiled when he saw the beautiful woman pull into her driveway and enter her house. Fortunately for him, she had yet to seem suspicious about the strange car that had been following her for the past few days. John however was getting more and more excited with each passing day. Based on the description that Glen had given him, this had to be the same Susan that he had been so desperate to find. But he had been extremely surprised when he had discovered that she was married. That was one important detail that Glen had omitted from his description and John questioned whether or not he even knew. He hated to be the one to break the news to the big man after he had been so anxious to find her, but he felt it would be best to have everything out in the open before Glen did something that could cause them both a lot of problems. Sighing, he gathered all of the information that he had obtained, then headed back to his hotel to call Glen.

Glen sat alone in his hotel room, flipping through the channels on the TV while he waited for his dinner to arrive. He jumped when he heard the shrill ring of his cell phone and he dug frantically through his bag to find it before it stopped ringing.
"Hello?"
"Glen? This is John."
"Hey John! I was beginning to worry about you. I haven't heard from you in a while."
"Yeah, I know buddy. But I've got some great news for you. I found her." John stated.
Glen was silent for a moment, as he let John's words register in his mind.
"You're sure it's her? You're sure it's the same woman?" Glen finally asked.
"Positive. It took a lot of searching but I finally found her for you." John replied.
"Oh man, I can't believe it! You got an address and phone number for me?" Glen lauged, barely able to contain his excitement.
John gave him the information, pausing for a moment, as he tried to prepare himself to deliver the rest of the news.
"Look, Glen. I've got more information that I think you should know about…"
"Nothing else matters. I've got what I need. You don't know how much this means to me man. I'll make sure to give you a hefty bonus for all the work you've done. Thanks again!" Glen replied, as he hung up the phone.
"Glen…wait!" John shouted, but he was already gone. There was nothing but silence left on the other end.
Shaking his head, John hung up the phone.
"Wonder which one of them will be more surprised when he sees her again?" he chuckled.
Glen stared at the phone number that John had given him. He couldn't wait to hear Susan's voice again! Picking up his phone, he dialed the number, then let in ring twice before hanging up. Calling her wasn't good enough. He decided he would go to her instead. When he talked with her again, he wanted them to be face to face. He wanted to show her just how much he had missed her.
He called Vince, and although he was extremely upset with Glen for his horrible timing, he finally relented and gave him a few days off. When he had made all of the arrangements, he packed his bags and headed out the door. He called Mark from the cab as he headed toward the airport, wanting to let his friend hear the good news.
"This better be good!" Mark grumbled, when he finally answered his phone.
"Oh it is man!" Glen replied. "I'm just calling to say goodbye!"
"Goodbye? What the hell are you talkin' about?" Mark asked.
"I found her! I finally found her! I'm on my way to the airport right now!"
"The airport? Well, you can just turn yourself around and head straight back here! Have you forgotten you've got a big title match tomorrow night? Vince will kill you for sure."
"I've already talked to Vince. I finally got him to agree to let me take a few days off. By the way, you're getting another title shot." Glen replied. "Listen man, I gotta go. I got a plane to catch. I'll call you and let you know what happens."
"Yeah…okay." Mark replied. "And Glen…remember what I told you.
"Yeah..yeah. Don't worry. Everything will work out. I know it will." Glen stated, before hanging up the phone.
"Fuckin' idiot!" Mark growled, wishing there was some way he could stop him from leaving. But even he had to admit, Glen had sounder happier tonight than he had in a long time. He just hoped that everything would work out for him. He couldn't bear to see his friend hurt again.
Oh yeah! Everything's going to be fine now that I've found her., Glen thought to himself. And this time, I'm definitely not letting her go!

It was late in the afternoon when Glen finally arrived at his hotel. He checked in, showered and changed his clothes, then headed out to find Susan. He asked the desk clerk for directions to the address that John had given him, then he hopped into his rental car and took off. About an hour later, he pulled into her driveway and got out to look around. He was greatly impressed with the house, it was a large two-story structure that had obviously been well maintained. It looked like it cost a pretty penny too. Apparently, Susan hadn't been lying to him when she told him what a great paying job she had.
Taking a deep breath, he finally forced his feet to move and he headed to the front door. He had waited long enough to see the woman that had haunted his dreams every night for the past few months. He had to see her now! Taking one last breath to calm his nerves, he rang the doorbell…and waited for her to answer.
Inside, Susan hurried around the kitchen, trying to finish the dinner that she was cooking. David was due home at any moment, and she wanted everything to be ready by the time he got there.
She jumped when she heard the doorbell ring, wondering who could possibly be visiting her so late in the evening. Then she realized it was probably David…locking himself out of the house was one of his annoying habits that he just couldn't seem to break. Smiling to herself, she hurried to the front door to let him in...
