Chapter 5
Monday had come and Raven had pretty much kept her distance from everyone. She knew she would have to see Joe and she honestly did not know how she was going to react. It was time for Raven to take Joe to the make a wish room. She started to get shaky when Shawn came up to her. " you'll be fine darling, just relax" he said and kissed her on the forehead. Raven smiled and he walked away.
She got to Joe's dressing room took a deep breath and knocked on the door. He opened it and smiled "Babygirl thank god. I need to talk you" Joe said as he went towards her. Raven took a step back. " I'm here to take you to the wish room. Please follow me" Raven said. He sighed and nodded and followed her. Afterwards she walked him back to his dressing room and was about to walk away when he pulled her into the dressing room and locked the door behind him.
" Joe please let me go" Raven said. " not until you talk to me" Joe said. " I have nothing to say to you" Raven replied. " Please baby it's not what you think. I was drunk when those pictures were taken and nothing happened" Joe said. " you expect me to believe nothing happened! I trusted you! I opened up to you! I fell in love with you! " Raven said as she started to cry.
" baby I love you too. Can't we get together after the show and talk this out?" asked Joe. " no I can't" replied Raven. " please I need you. I don't want us to end" Joe said with tears in his eyes. " Joe I'm leaving with Shawn to San Antonio after the show. This is over when I leave here. I'm done with you" Raven said walking out of Joe's dressing room in tears.
Joe sat on the couch with tears in his eyes. He had to fight for her. He was not about to lose her he was in love with her. Raven stood outside his door for a minute before walking away. She stopped and fell to the floor and cried. She felt someone wrap their arms around her. " It's ok sunshine go ahead and cry. I'm not going to go no where" Jon said softly. Jon sat with his legs out and Raven between his legs with her back to his chest and just cried. Alex, Jazzie and Colby came across them and it hurt them to see how broken Raven was.
Shawn was walking by when he came across Raven and Jon, he saw the rest of the gang there as well. Shawn sighed and went over to them. " darling you can't stay here. Come on pick yourself up" Shawn said. " he's right sweetheart. Come on take my hand" Colby said.
Raven shook her head no. She just couldn't get up and they knew it. "Sunshine I'm going to get up and then pick you up ok" Jon said. Raven just held onto Jon so he could not get up. Jon sat back down and held her.
Joe came across them and went over to them. " Stay the fuck away from her! You're the reason she is like this" growled Jon. " babygirl let me help you up" Joe said. Raven cringed away from him. Colby came over and knelt in front of her. Joe with tears in his eyes said with his voice cracking. " please babygirl come to me" Raven just started crying harder. " get away!" yelled Jon. Joe stayed where he was at. Shawn could see this was not helping Raven it was making it worse. Shawn went over and picked her up bridal style and walked away.
Joe looked defeated. " he's taking her to San Antonio tonight" Joe said softly. They all looked at each other she didn't tell anyone she was leaving. "Maybe it's better for her. It gets her away from here and you. Just remember you caused this" Jon said as he walked away, Alex and the rest of them followed. Joe was broken he needed Raven in his life. He didn't know what to do.
Shawn carried Raven to Jon's dressing room and put her down on the couch. She was still crying hard. Jon and the rest of the gang came in behind him. Shawn asked if they could stay with her while he made a phone call. They nodded and he stepped out. "Sweetheart here drink some tea" said Colby. Raven sat up and took the tea. Jon sat on the other side of her and wrapped his arm around her. " I'm sorry for all of this" Raven said. " it's ok sweetie we all here for you. We're not going to leave you" Jazzie said. " he broke me. I fell in love with him and he broke me" cried Raven. " sunshine you're a lot of things but broken is not of them trust me" Jon said smiling.
Raven sipped her tea. "sunshine why did call Shawn? When you could have called one of us" asked Jon. "At the time I didn't know what to do. I was so upset and hurt so I called the one person I knew would never hurt me besides you guys and that was Shawn. Please don't be mad at me. I know leaving with him is not right but right now I need too" Raven said.
"Sweetheart we all understand. We just wish you would have told us. You could come to Iowa with me or Vegas with Jon you know" Colby said. "Joe would have found me and right now I need to be alone to think things out" Raven said as Shawn walked in "ok I moved up our flights we leave in an hour" he said. Shawn then explained it would be better if he got her away now instead of later. Jon asked if he could come and see her. Shawn nodded and told them all they were welcomed. Raven got up and hugged them all and said goodbye. "I'll be up to see you soon sunshine I promise" Jon said. Raven smiled and left with Shawn.
After they left Alex went over to Jon. "what was that about? Going to see her in Texas! Ever since this happened you have been looking at her differently. You're falling for her aren't you?" asked Alex. Jazzie,Colby and Jon looked at Alex in shock. "are you serious right now! Your best friend just had her heart shattered and you come up with this shit! Really! Yeah I care about her we all are close friends. I would have done the same if it were Jazzie too" Jon said. "I've seen you Jon you have feelings for her. I can see if. You want her I know it" Alex said. "you need to stop with shit and if you can't get the fuck out of my room" Jon said. Alex walked to the door. "you coming Jazzie?" asked Alex. Jazzie put her head down. Alex stormed out.
Shawn and Raven got the airport and got ready to board the plane. Raven looked over at Shawn and kissed him on the cheek. Shawn smiled at her. He cared about her and he planned on taking care of her.
"we need to talk. I think you should know that my boyfriend has feelings for your ex girlfriend and is going to Texas to see her" Alex said. Joe looked at Alex and walked off. He found Colby, Jon and Jazzie in catering. "I was just told by your girlfriend that you have feelings for my ex girlfriend and you're going to Texas to see her. Is that true?" asked Joe. "yeah it is true WE all are going to her. I am hoping to leave a day earlier so what" Jon said. "Look I am not here to fight with you I'm just here to tell you what Alex said to me. I know that you care about her" Joe said.
"Alex has some jealousy issues and not just with Raven" Jon said. "Where is Raven at now?" Joe asked. "Shawn booked an earlier flight and took her, they are probably in San Antonio by now" Colby said. Joe put his head down and walked away. Just then Alex walked back to them. "you seriously went to Joe and told him I have feelings for Raven? What the fuck is a matter with you?" Jon growled. "tell me it's not true!" yelled Alex. "you know what we are done. Come get your shit from my dressing room" Jon said. Colby and Jazzie put their heads down. Alex slapped Jon and stormed off. "this is not a good day. I say we get drunk tonight" Jazzie said. Both guys nodded at her smiling.
Shawn and Raven arrived at his ranch. Shawn took Raven to the guest room and let her get settled. Raven changed and lied down on the bed. She did not realize how tired she was until she she was on the bed. She fell asleep and Shawn came in and smiled. He then went over and covered her up. He started to walk away"don't leave. Stay with me please" Raven said softly. Shawn went over and laid down next to her and held her. Raven moved her head to his chest and they fell asleep.
Raven woke up the next morning with Shawn beside her she smiled at how peaceful he looked when he was sleeping. She moved a bit and he tightened his grip on her. "hey sleepyhead it's time to get up" Raven said. "good morning to you too" Shawn said. they both got up, Shawn went to his room to shower and change. Once they were dressed Shawn gave Raven a tour of the ranch. Raven could not believe just how big it was. It was really beautiful. Shawn told her he had to go run some errands but to make herself at home. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and left.
Raven decided to take a walk near the spring that was near the ranch. She found a spot and sat down as she got a phone call.
"hello" she said
"baby it's me. I know you don't want to talk to me but please hear me out" Jon said
"Joe I don't want to talk to you. Please just leave me alone" she said
"I can't do that. I love you and I need you back. I can't be without you" Joe said
"Dont you understand how hurt I am right now! You're making it worse for me Joe. Please don't call, text or Skype me. Leave me alone" she said and hung up her phone and turned it off. Raven tried not to cry but could not help it. She cried so hard she cried herself to sleep right there on the spot.
Shawn came home and looked for Raven. "darling where are you?" Shawn said and got no answer. He looked around the house and ranch and did not find her. He tried calling her and it went straight to voicemail. He started to panic he went off the grounds to look for her. He finally found her by the spring asleep. He sighed in relief. "darling" he said shaking her softly. Raven woke up and sat up. "what are you doing all the way out here" Shawn asked. "I found this spot and it was so nice. I just wanted to sit and relax then Joe called me and I kinda lost it and I guess I cried myself to sleep" Raven said.
"come on let's go inside" Shawn said. They went inside and had lunch. Afterwards Shawn took Raven horseback riding around the property. Raven was starting to feel more relaxed, later on they had dinner then made their way out to the porch and sat on the swing. It was beautiful night and Raven wanted to enjoy it.
Raven had been with Shawn for almost a week and she was having a great time. Shawn was really good to her and took care of her. One night they decided to take a late night swim in the his pool. "Shawn thank you for bringing me here and for taking care of me" Raven said. "you don't need to thank me darling. I wanted too" Shawn said. Raven moved close to Shawn and kissed him. Shawn grabbed her waist and pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Raven wrapped her arms around Shawn's neck, just then he pulled away from her but she moved closer to him. "I dont want you to regret anything darling so we better stop" he said softly. "I know what I am doing Shawn. and I have no regrets. Make love to me Shawn" Raven said softly.
Shawn took Raven up to his room. He kissed her and he picked her up and placed her on the bed. Shawn was gentle with his lovemaking with Raven. He made love to her all night long. Afterwards she was laying on his chest and he had his arms wrapped around her. "do you regret it?" he asked. "no I don't. You were gentle with me and took your time with me it was beautiful Shawn" she said. Shawn looked down at her and kissed her and was on top of her again. They made love until early the next morning.
They woke and got into the shower together and had another love making session in the shower. They got out the shower and got dressed. Colby and the gang were coming to see her today. Shawn went to the airport to pick them up while she stayed to fix lunch for all of them. On the drive to the ranch Jon asked how she was doing. Shawn told him he would need to see that for himself. Jon and the rest of them looked at each other with worried looks on their faces. They got to the ranch and Raven came out to welcome them. "I'm so so happy to see you guys. I've missed you all so much" Raven said smiling. "sunshine you look great almost back to your old self" Jon said smiling. "come on I have lunch ready" Raven said and took them to the backyard. She had everything set up on the patio table.
They had lunch and talked then got settled in their rooms. They came down and saw Shawn and Raven in an embrace. Jon cleared his throat. "so I take it that Joe is out of the picture?" Jon asked. "honestly I don't know. I know I need to talk to him but I don't want to do it now" Raven said. Jazzie asked Raven if they would take a walk just them. Raven nodded and they went outside to to walk. "Raven you know you can't do this. Shawn likes you, you know that. And if you still have feelings for Joe it's not going to work. Shawn is the one that is going to get hurt" Jazzie said. Raven knew she was right so she did what she had been dreading, she asked Jazzie for her phone.
"hello"
"its me. I'm ready to talk. Where can we meet?" she said
I'm home in Florida. I will book you a flight now" Joe said
"ok text me with the info once it's done" she said
"ok I will. thank you for coming out" he said
"don't thank me just yet" she said as she hung up the phone
"will you help me get out to the airport without anyone knowing?" Raven asked. "of course come one let's get you a bag packed" Jazzie said. Joe texted her the flight info and said he would pick up at the airport.
Raven told Jazzie not to say anything until she arrived in Florida. She was going to turn her phone off so there would be no distractions she told her. Jazzie wished her luck and left. Raven arrived at the airport and Joe was there waiting for her. He hugged her and they went to get her bag and then he took her to his house. Raven was nervous about seeing him. She missed him so much but how he react to what she had to tell him.
Jazzie got back to the ranch and they had asked her where she had gone. She told them she took Raven to the airport she was going to see Joe. Shawn immediately went to his phone, Jazzie stopped him and told him she had turned off her phone. Shawn knew if she went he was going to lose her again. He could not go through that again. He loved her.
"I'm glad you came so we could finally talk" Joe said. "It was time that we had too" Raven said. "baby you need to know nothing happened I did not sleep with her" Joe said. "I know that now but truth is I don't know if I can trust you again" Raven said. "I love you and I know we can work this out. Just please take me back" Joe pleaded. "After what I tell you, you may not want me" Raven said softly. "why tell me" Joe said. Raven sighed and took a deep breathe. "I slept with Shawn" she said. Joe let go of her hands and put his hands to his face. "do you love him? Do you want to be with him? Is that why you came here to tell me you want him?" Joe said with tears in his eyes. "I came to tell you the truth. I owe you that much. I don't love him. I love you" Raven said crying. Joe went to her and kissed her. She missed him so much she wrapped her arms around him as they made their way to the floor.
Later that night Joe held Raven in his arms. "so what now?" he asked. "I don't know" she said. "I love you babygirl" he said. "I love you too" she said. What was she going to do now. Raven returned home and went back to work. It had been over a month since she talked to either one of them. She had been feeling really sick lately. Jazzie came over and asked her if she was ok. Raven did not get a chance to answer her before she had to throw up. Jazzie had noticed that she had been throwing up alot lately. "here take this" Jazzie said. "what is this?" Raven asked her. " A pregnancy test" Jazzie said. Raven looked at her in shock.
Raven never thought of being pregnant. She went to the restroom and took the test. It was the longest three minutes of her life. She walked over and then went to see the results "POSITIVE". Raven broke down crying. Jazzie came into to see her she showed her the test. What was she going to do now.
Raven knew that the possibility that either Shawn or Joe were the father so she decided to schedule an appt with the doctor just to make sure that she in fact was pregnant. Jazzie went with her to the doctor. The doctor confirmed that she was pregnant, he also told her of a test that could be done to let her know who the father was. She knew now what she needed to do.
It's me are you busy - Raven
no not at all. It's about time I hear from you - Shawn
I know it's been over a month but there is something I need to tell you - Raven
Sure darling go ahead and tell me - Shawn
I'm pregnant. But there is chance that it could be Joe's as well - Raven
Just then Shawn called her
"your pregnant!" Shawn said
"yea I just found out a couple of days ago but waited until I went to the doctor to know for sure" she said
"well it's not mine so it has to be Joe's" he said
"what do you mean it's not yours. We slept together and yes I slept with Joe as well but there is still a chance it's yours" she said
"no darling I had a vasectomy a few years ago when Rebecca told me she did not want anymore kids" he said
"oh I see, I understand. OH MY GOD! so that means" she said
"yes darlin. You can always come back to me. We can raise the baby together you know" he said.
"thanks Shawn I gotta go" he said
"think about darling" he said as he hung up
Raven and Jazzie decided to fly out to Boston and surprise Colby and Joe and so that she could tell him that she was pregnant. They got to the hotel and first person they saw was Jon. "sunshine!" he smiled as he hugged her. "don't hug her too tight, she is with child" Jazzie said. "your pregnant! Is it Joe's?" Jon said shocked. Raven nodded yes, Jon said he would take them to arena so that she could talk to Joe and so Jazzie could see got to the arena and Colby spotted them and came over to them. Raven asked where Joe was. Colby smiled and took them.
They got to his dressing room and he was with Summer. Just then Summer kissed him, Raven watched in shock but did not say anything. Joe pushed her away and saw Raven standing there. He went over to her and tried to explain she just put her hand to his chest. "I'm here to tell you that I am pregnant and yes it is yours" she said as she started to walk away.
Joe picked her up and put her over his shoulder and took her into his dressing room and locked the door. He went to couch and put her down gently. "how do you know it's mine" he said. "Shawn had a vasectomy years ago that's why" she said. "move in with me and let me take care of you babygirl" Joe said. "no I'm going to do this on my own. You want to be a part of this baby's life fine and if not that is ok with me too" she said. "that is my baby in there. You belong to me" he said. Raven got up from the couch and walked out and went back to the hotel. She took a nap only to woken up by Jazzie. "Joe was hurt in his match he is in the hospital" Jazzie said. Raven got up and went with her to the hospital.
Jazzie and Raven arrived at the hospital and Colby and Jon were there waiting to see what the doctor to talk to them. Raven was scared and started to cry. "it's my fault, I caused this. I should have not walked out on him the way I did" she cried. "no sunshine it's not your fault, don't blame yourself and don't get upset it's not good for you and the baby" Jon said. "baby! wait your pregnant?" Colby asked. Raven nodded at him. Just then the doctor came out. "family for Joe Anoa'I?" he asked. "yes that is us" Jon said. "well he suffered some broken ribs,a grade two concussion and he is surgery right now to repair his kidney" the doctor said.
Raven sat there crying, Jazzie went over to her just then Raven bent over in pain. "Raven are you ok" she asked. Raven just fell to the floor in pain. "doctor I need your help! she is pregnant!" Jazzie yelled. The doctor asked for the staff to bring a gurney and they took Raven to be examined. They were waiting to hear something on Raven when the nurse came out to say they could see Joe.
Jon went in to see him. "hey where is Raven?" he asked still groggy. "um Raven is here" Jon said. "can you tell her to some in and see me?" Joe asked. "um I don't think so" Jon said. "why she doesn't want to see me?" Joe asked. " ok look when the doctor told us what was wrong with you she started crying and started to have cramps. She is being examined right now we are waiting to hear from the doctor" Jon said. Joe looked at Jon with a scared look on his face. "what! that is my baby! I need to see her" he said. "bro no you need to get your rest. Colby and Jazzie are with her" Jon said. Just then Colby came in. "how is she?" Joe asked. "she is fine so is the baby. She needs to avoid as much stress as possible. They are admitting her for observation and to monitor her and the baby" Colby said.
Joe was transferred to his room, he could not get Raven out of his mind, he struggled but got on the wheelchair and made his way to see her. He got to her room and she was there sleeping with a monitor on her stomach. He could hear his baby's heartbeat and it brought tears to his eyes. Just then Raven woke up. "what are you doing in here?" she said. "I needed to see you and make sure you and the baby are ok" he said. Raven smiled at him as he reached and put his hand on her stomach. "daddy is here peanut" he said softly with his head on her stomach.
