Please continue to review I really care about what you all think. Without further due Chapter 2!
Chapter 2: Baby Love!
The date was February fourth 2008. The time being three a.m in the morning.
Eve lied on the delivery table breathless in the hideous white and blue hospital gown. Her face and body full of sweat as she sat with her arm resting on her forehead, trying to catch her breath.
Her boyfriend of two years right by her side. Matt smiled as he held her hand and stroke her sweaty messy brown hair out of her face before wiping her face with a cold towel.
"I don't know how much I can take babe" Eve whined between breaths
"Baby, you're almost there" Matt comfort
"No, No! I can't this is too intense" she replied with tears of physical pain
Matt hated seeing Eve in such condition. He kissed her on the lips, before leaning his forehead against hers
"Eve Torres, you are one of the strongest women I know" Matt whispered "And you did not come nine months, to quit now"
Eve smiled a little as Matt wiped her tears, and gave her another peck on the lips.
"And besides, after all the cursing, screaming, and crying you did due to your mood swings and the two a.m runs to the store for ice cream, you are having this baby" Matt joked
Eve chuckled
"What would I do without you Matt Hardy?"
"Well, we know you wouldn't be here"
"Oh god!" Eve said feeling another contraction, and grabbing onto Matt's hand
"Ok, Ms. Torres, I think it's time to start pushing" he obstetrician replied walking quickly into the room, fully prepared with nurses by his side.
"Ok, babe this is it!" Matt said, allowing Eve to squeeze his hand as hard as she needed.
Eve heart pounded as she was getting ready to push out another life. She'd waited nine long months for this and now that it was finally here she was terrified.
"On a count of three I want you to push as hard as you can until the count of ten" the doctor replied sitting on a stool in front of Eve whose legs were propped up "1..2..3…"
Eve pushed in agonizing pain as she heard the nurse besides her counting. She never knew for ten seconds to be so long…
"9…10" the nurse finished
"Great job!" the doctor said "Let's do it again!"
"Come on babe" Matt replied as Eve continued to push listening for the magic number of the day, which for her was ten.
"Amazing, the doctor replied with a smile, as his nurse reached ten again "I see a head, want to take a look dad?" he asked Matt
Matt grind in excitement as he walked to where the doctor was to catch of view of what looked like a head full of dark hair
Matt's heart pounded as well, as he felt a sense of fear and enthusiasm all in one.
"One more push Eve, and you are there" the doctor replied as a determined Eve nodded and took a deep breath before forcefully pushing for ten seconds for the last time.
The last ten seconds felt like the longest to her. So much was going through her head. "Will she be a good mom? Will she be a bad mom? Will this completely change her life like everyone has told her it would?
"8…9…10!" The obstetrician said, as he pulled out a new contribution to the world.
After hearing the first cry Eve let out a sign of relief as she chuckled a bit, along with Matt, before receiving a nice long kiss from him.
"Happy Birthday!" all the nurses and the obstetrician said to the crying newborn, as smiles and applause filled the room
Eve smiled resting her head on the pillow behind her with a few tears of joy forming in her eyes…
"Want to hold your son mom" the nurse replied handing the baby to Eve, who smiled stroking his hair "Hi, baby boy!" he said as more tears formed
The nurse beside her smiled
"Were you two hoping for a boy" she asked
"It didn't matter, as long as he is healthy" she answered
The nurse smiled and nodded "From the looks of it you have your wish… Congratulations!" she said before walking out.
Eve looked at Matt, and smiled handing him his first born.
Matt nervously reached out for the baby. Holding him in his arms for the first time was a feeling he refuses to forget.
Eve smiled seeing Matt with their son
"Hey kid" Matt replied talking to him "I'm your daddy! And kid you have no idea how great your life is going to be! Your mom is great, I am going to try my hardest to be an awesome dad" Matt continued to talk to him while walking around not wanting to let him go "We are going to have such a close relationship, and you have no idea how much just seeing you has changed me already Mason Moore Hardy…"
Eve's eyes shot open to the sound of her usual alarm clock that read seven a.m. She sat up and hit the ok button before running her finger through her hair. She couldn't get over the fight she and Matt had last night, but she couldn't sit in her room and mope all day because she had a family and household to run. Eve looked over to Matt's side of the bed and realized he wasn't there. She rolled her eyes and hopped out of bed and headed to the bathroom, where she freshened up in a matter of hours, completely dressed in tight dark blue jeans, a white tank top, some white flip flops, with her hair hanging straight down.
Eve loved her two year old son Mason, but always dreaded waking him up. Mason was a lot like his father when it came to mornings. That was not his favorite time of the day.
Eve walked down the hall and into Mason's room.
"Mason!" Eve yelled searching around the room. Her heart dropped as she quickly looked into Mason's play room "Mason!" she yelled again not seeing him now becoming worried
She rushed downstairs, and finally caught her breath seeing Mason sitting in his high chair with Matt next to him, both enjoying a bowl of cereal. Eve placed her hand over her chest taking a deep breath.
"Mommy!" two year old Mason cheered, as Eve smiled, going to pick him up.
"Baby!" she chuckled hugging him tightly, and kissing him. "Up so early?" she said to him
"Uh, yeah I hope you don't mind, but I got him up and bathed him, and everything to save you the time" Matt told Eve.
Eve just stared putting Mason back down
"Thanks!" she rolled her eyes before heading to the kitchen. "Well, Mason, are you ready to go to daycare" Eve asked as Matt shot a stare at her
"I just got back in town, I think he should stay home today" Matt spoke
"No! I have a lot to do here and I can't have him running around!"
"Well, Eve I'll take him to the zoo or something, I just need to spend time with him" Matt argued
"Hm, now you're thinking about him?" Eve shot
"Oh my gosh! Are you seriously still on this" Matt increased his voice level a little
Eve glared before going up stairs.
Matt sighed as he looked at Mason who played with his cereal, with his hands. "I'll be back kid" he rubbed Mason's hair and kissed his head before running after Eve.
Eve was in Mason's room, picking up toys off the floor and furiously throwing them into the toy box.
"Look, I get you being mad at me, but don't do it in front of our son" Matt yelled
"Funny! Since when do you want to play world's best daddy" Eve shot
"I'm getting really tired of this shit!" Matt said "It was only an hour"
Eve stop and stared at him, before throwing another toy, into the box.
"You don't get it!" Eve said "Time after time you have let me down, and time and time again you are starting to do the same with Mason, it's not all about you career and friends anymore!" she yelled "It's family! I sacrifice my career for this family, so the least you could do his sacrifice hanging with a few friends every now and then"
Matt leaned on the wall rubbing his head in frustrations. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! How many time must I say it!"
"I don't care about an apology, they are just words!" she yelled "And… You can do it to me, because I can handle it but I refuse to let you neglect Mason, or my other baby!" Eve shot out,
Matt's head shot up and his eyes widened "Other baby?"
Eve put her head down
"Yes!" she replied "I'm two months pregnant!"
"And you're just telling me" he shot
"Well, I didn't want to tell you over the phone while you was traveling, so stupid me prepared a family dinner for us so I could tell our family at the same time, but you decided you wanted to be elsewhere." She replied "So there you have it Matt, I'm pregnant!" she said before she shot passed him and back into their master bedroom.
In Boston, John was also up with a cranky baby Jayden, and a teenager as she got ready for school.
"Hurry up Paris! Before you're late" John said warming a bottle
"Ugh! I don't see why I have to catch the bus, when my dad is a professional wrestler with a variety of cars" Paris continued to do her usual whining
"I don't have time for this, just hurry up" John strictly told his daughter.
Meanwhile Torrie stood at the front door of her home, for the past thirty minutes though she wasn't ready to face John, she missed her kids, so she managed to make her way back to Boston.
She put her key into the door and quickly entered her house before she had a chance to turn back. She stood at the entrance and to her surprise, John right at the entrance with Jayden in hand waiting for her.
"I was waiting for you to come in" John said, as Torrie stared in confusion "I looked out the window earlier and saw you standing there"
"Why didn't you come get me?"
"I didn't want to chase you away so I waited till you were ready"
Torrie stared down, then at Jayden and smiled, grabbing him
"Baby Jay I missed you!" Torrie said hugging him and kissing him
"Tor… I" John started but was interrupted by their teen daughter Paris
"Mom, I knew I heard you" Paris squealed running to her mom and best friend, hugging her
"I missed you too girly" Torrie smiled
"Since you're back, can you give me a ride to school" Paris asked as John shot a look at her
"Yes sweetie, go get your things" Torrie replied, as spoiled Paris smirked at her dad and ran up stairs.
"Like I was saying!" John stared "If I hadn't said it enough, I am truly sorry" he said again "I feel horrible, about this my past mistakes is messing up my future family"
"How's the baby" Torrie rudely replied, as Jayden was resting in her arms
"Jay?" he asked confused
Torrie rolled her eyes and stared "Don't play dumb"
John stared down, knowing what she was getting at
"You're a stand up guy, so I know you called her to check up on the baby you have with Maria! The one I am just finding out about!" Torrie shot "Or did you forget" she shook her head as Paris came back down
"All ready" Paris smiled, walking toward the door
Torrie put on a smiled before heading out of the front door with her daughter and son.
Back in North Carolina, Melina packed up her Range Rover, with all three of her and Jeff's kids. She yawned due to not getting much sleep the previous night thanks to a crying Chase. She pulled up to the daycare center where she was dropping three year old Madison and seven month old Chase. After spending a few seconds in the building she then began her journey to taking her fourteen year old daughter Mikayla to her private school, in the next county.
On her drive back home Melina didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to keep secrets from her kids. Melina was at a tough stage in her life and she had nowhere to turn.
She knew she was going to have to tell her children why their dad hadn't been home in weeks, and what she feared the most was possibly having to tell them about a divorce, which she prayed she wouldn't have to..
Melina eyes filled with tears as she randomly parked on the side of the road, and dug through her purse in search for her cell phone.
She quickly rung Jeff and one again receive his voicemail.
"Ugh! I'm sorry ok, I admit it I was being stupid and selfish at the time only thinking about myself and my career, and I'm so sorry I know giving up our fourth child without your permission was horrible of me, and my reason for doing wasn't a valid one at all!" Melina yelled in frustration between sobs "I just wanted to return to the ring, a stupid job I ended up giving up anyway for our family! I'm just sorry Jeff I'm so sorry! Can you just put aside the hate you have for me for aborting our fourth child and focus on the three beautiful ones we have already! The three that miss and love you and ask or cry for you every day! Just please come home!" she said lastly, before hanging up her phone and crying to herself.
It took her a few moments, but Melina pulled herself together, pulling back onto the road and headed back home. She repeatedly played the song Stay by sugarland over her speakers in her car. She wiped her tears one last time before pulling in her driveway and to her surprise managed to find a familiar Corvette in her driveway…
"Jeff" she whispered, as she knew it was his car…
In Ontario, Canada Christian had just waken up, at the time was now going on 9 am. He rolled over and unexpectedly found no one next to him.
Without clearly think he fearfully shot up, running down stairs. He searched around his house the kitchen, additionally rooms, the patio, walk in closets and the backyard and couldn't find his finance' Tiffany anywhere.
Christian sighed and sat on his couch in disappointment.
"I knew taking her to meet them was a horrible idea, stupid! Stupid!" Christian replied to himself.
Christian laid back, heart full of pain as he felt as though his world crashed. He said and thought of ways he could get her back before her keys enter the lock from the outside.
He shot up, and smiled seeing Tiffany walk in..
"Hi Babe! Bye Babe" Tiffany said rushing upstairs
"Wait a minute!" he replied following her "Where have you been?"
"Oh, I had a small stomach ache this morning so I went to the store and picked up some medicine" she answered rushing into the bathroom
Christian chuckled standing outside the bathroom door
"You know you had me worried"
"Really why" Tiffany replied from in the restroom, rumbling around with some stuff
"Because I though my parents chased you away"
"Oh, not yet!" she sadly replied thinking of the nightmare that took place the revious day
"I'm so sorry about that again! I will never forgive them" he said leaning on the wall still standing next to the bathrrom
"It's not your fault babe" Tiffany said "And you will forgive them they're your parents"
"So! And you're my future wife" he argued "If they can't accept the girl I love then they don't accept me"
Christian sincerely said as Tiffany shook her head
"Two wrongs don't make a right Chris. I want your parents and entire family to accept me!" Tiffany replied "So maybe I should leave the company, and be more of a wife."
"What!"
"That's what your dad meant about me not being able to fit in, because I have a job and your family likes for it to be the originally old fashion way, the man works and the woman stays home and works in the house" Tiffany explained
"Tiff, you love the company that's bull shit! I wouldn't let you do that" Christian said "Forget my parents they'll come around, and if they don't oh well"
Christian continued to listen at the door waiting on a response from Tiffany.
"Babe, don't let them get to you, or us" he argued "In fact let's not even talk about it anymore!" he said getting mad at his parents by the second "Let's talk about lunch, let's go for an early lunch at that twenty four hour sushi place you love so much" he suggested
"No!" Tiffany stated
"Baby, let it go!"
"Chris I just can't got to that place today or for awhile and I can't let your parents not accepting me go right now" she replied
"But, why?"
"Because, if your parents don't accept me they won't accept our baby" Tiffany said finally opening the bathroom door "And, fish has mercury in it, which is not the best food for pregnant women" she let out a little smile, holding the pregnancy test she just too kin Christian's face for him to see the positive results…
