Her breath got caught in her throat and her heart was beating very fast. Tears were starting to burn underneath her eyelids. He wasn't supposed to find out, in fact, no body was. She never mentioned anything to him, so how is that he found out?
"Can we please talk about this later?" Evie pleaded. "I'm with my family right now. Please Ted, we'll talk about everything the next time we see each other."
"No, this can't wait, Evie." Ted said coldly. "We need to talk about this now. You said you come back on Sunday, right?"
"That's right." She said, nodding as if he can see her.
"Okay fine, I'll be there later tonight." He explained. "Don't go to sleep, wait for me. I'll be there before you know it."
"Ted." Evie started to say, but it was no use, he had already hung up.
She pulled the phone away from her ear and looked down at the screen, he had disconnected the call. Wiping away the tears, she turned around to go inside the house. Sighing, she sat down on the bottom step and thought about everything that they had just talked about.
Ted knew and from how upset he sounded she knew it had hurt him. Maybe she should have told him right away. Had she told him what was going on right away, then none of this would be happening. Guilt wouldn't be eating away at her and Ted wouldn't be angry with her.
"Evelyn, sweetie are you okay?"
Evie picked up her head to see that her mother was looking at her from the living room doorway. She knew that her mother was concerned for her.
"I'm fine, mom. Just a little tired."
Her mom walked towards the stairway and sat on the bottom step next to her youngest daughter. Just one look at her and she knew that something was wrong.
"What's really wrong?"
"It's nothing, mom." Evie got up and walked up the steps.
"Sweetie, Mark and Mandy are out back."
"Just tell them that I went to sleep, I don't feel like sitting outside anymore." She called down the stairs.
When she was sure that her mom heard her, she shut the door to the bedroom that was hers as a young girl. Not much had changed in her room, it was still the same. As she looked around the room, she felt like she had travelled back in time. It was like she was 16 all over again. She was waiting for her parents to go to sleep so that she could sneak Ted in through her window. Actually, it didn't seem like much had changed.
Changing her into her pajamas, Evie plopped down onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling. She had backed herself into a corner with Ted before and now wasn't any different. This wasn't something she could keep from him for years like she did before. He deserved to know.
However, while a part of her was upset that he knew, she was still wondering how he found out. Nobody knew. The only people that knew were her and the doctor. There couldn't be any other possible way for anyone to know.
As she continued to think about everything, she felt her eyes slowly drift shut. She fought to keep them open, but eventually sleep took over and she was out like a light.
\\
What only felt like minutes later, Evie thought she heard pebbles being tossed against her window. Sleepily, she walked over to the window to see Ted standing down there, waiting for her to open the window. She smirked to herself, now she really did feel like she was 16 again. With some hesitation, she motioned for him to come up.
A minute later, Ted was standing in her room. Now, it was he, who felt like he had travelled back in time. She was 16 and he was 17. Neither one of them were wrestling and they were still secret lovers in high school.
Evie noticed the look anger on his face had diminished and that he had fallen back. Being back in her room had left him at a loss for words considering that last time he was in her room it was when they fought about her pregnancy. It seemed kind of ironic that eleven years later, he was back in the same room for the same purpose.
"Do you feel-"
"Yeah, I do." He whispered, interrupting her. "It's weird being back in your room, especially after what happened the last time I was in here. I find it-"
"Ironic." She finished for him. "I'm having déjà vu."
"Same here. The last time I was here it was because of the baby." Ted agreed, falling onto her bed. "Now, eleven years later, it's the same thing all over again."
"Technically, it's not the same." Evie pointed out.
"Eves, you know what I mean." Ted rolled his eyes. "When were you planning on telling me?"
She subconsciously bit her lower lip. How could she tell him that she wasn't planning on telling him at all? She wasn't even planning on telling John for obvious matters.
"You weren't going to tell me at all, were you?"
She nodded her as she sat down on the bed next to him. Out of habit, she folded her legs underneath her body and rested her head on his shoulder.
Ted shrugged her head off his shoulder. As much as he wanted to, he didn't want any interaction between the two of them until they had gotten to the bottom of everything. Of course, her silence was really the home run for him, she never planned on telling him.
"Okay, so you weren't planning on telling me." Ted reasoned out loud. "Were you going to tell anyone?"
"No, I wasn't planning on it." Evie mumbled, avoiding his gaze.
"Why weren't you going to tell me?"
Running her hands over her face, she fell backwards onto her bed. It's obvious that he hadn't drawn too many conclusions. He impulsively made the decision to fly out to Clinton just to find out what was going on.
"Ted, are you blind?" Evie whispered so that nobody else would know that he was there. For some reason, she was afraid that if somebody found out he was there, then they would get into trouble. "It's looks like you are. There's a reason why I didn't tell anybody about this."
He looked down at her confused. She hadn't told anybody about this, not even John. If she was the only one who knew, then how did Kristen find out?
"You didn't tell anybody about this?"
"No."
"Then how did Kristen know?"
At the mention of her cousin, Evie quickly sat up and looked over at Ted. "Kristen told you all of this? Did she say how she found out?"
"She told me that you told her." Ted replied. "Without any warning or anything, she just randomly showed up at my door. I told her repeatedly to go, but she didn't. Instead, she told me that she was worried about you. No joke, she seemed sincere about everything that she was telling me. Naturally, when she left I called you and you know the rest."
"Kristen was sincere?" Evie asked. "I know we are not talking about the same girl here."
"I guess not." Ted mumbled, amazed that he had allowed her to fool him. "It's too late to ask if she was lying because you basically just admitted everything to me."
"I did." Evie felt stupid for admitting it to him without asking him how he found out. Maybe had she done that first then she could have denied everything. "Like I said Ted, I didn't plan on telling anyone."
"Big deal Evie, you were pregnant with John's baby and you lost it. I know that's horrible, considering this is the second baby you lost. But you know that you could talk to me about anything, this included. I wouldn't have gotten mad."
"But you did." She recalled, her thoughts falling back to his phone call earlier.
"I was mad because I thought you had only told Kristen, not me. In some weird way, it kind of hurt because I thought we were close and here and I had this psycho proving my thoughts wrong. And because you had gotten into the ring to wrestle when you clearly knew you were pregnant."
"Butthead, you really are blind." She said, thinking about how he hadn't noticed why she didn't tell him. If anything, she would have thought that would have been the first thing that popped into his mind. "Kristen was badly misinformed. I don't where she got any of this stuff from, but I'm going to find out after I talk to the little bitch."
"Why am I blind?" Ted questioned, surprised by the sudden bursts of emotion that she was displaying.
Evie quickly got up and stood in front of Ted. The tears that had threatened to fall so many times before finally started trickling down her face and dripping off her chin.
"How much did she tell you?"
"That you were pregnant and miscarried the baby." Ted replied, not understanding why she was crying.
"Teddy, when I got into the ring that night, I had no idea that I was pregnant. The doctor didn't tell me until much later in the night. He had told me that I was two months pregnant, but my drinking and wrestling caused the miscarriage. By the time I got to the hospital, I had expelled most of the baby. They even performed a D&C to get what was left out."
"You didn't know you were pregnant?" Ted was astonished.
"No, I didn't. Ted, if I knew, I would have stopped wrestling long ago." Evie stated. "I wouldn't have put myself or the baby in any danger."
"So you ribs weren't really broken?"
"No, they were. The impact of Eve's spear is what caused my ribs to crack."
"That night in the hospital, why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I didn't want anyone to know. More importantly, I didn't want you or John to know because..." Evie's voice trailed off. She hadn't wanted to finish that thought. It was obvious that Ted had thought she had lost John's baby. The possibility of who the father was hadn't even entered his mind.
"Because, wh-" Ted stopped himself. His mind went back to what she had said earlier. When she lost the baby, she was two months pregnant. Quickly, he did the math in his head and realized that she could have possibly miscarried his child. "You could have been pregnant with my baby again?"
"I could have been." Evie shrugged. "The date of conception was never revealed to me, but if I was two months pregnant at the time of the miscarriage, then chances are the date of conception were right around the time of my birthday. I was with you and John on the same day."
"You weren't going to tell me that you lost another one of my kids?" He asked, enraged. "Hell, even potential kid works for me. If you didn't tell me then you sure as hell didn't tell John."
She shook her head no. The tears were silently falling down her face at full force. "I couldn't stand the thought of looking either one of you in the face and saying that I lost the baby and that I didn't who the father was. I couldn't risk my relationship with John."
"He can't get mad about that. Okay fine, you slept with us both in the same day, but that doesn't put your relationship at risk when you guys weren't technically dating at the time." Ted pointed out, clearly annoyed. "God dammit Evie, just think, that's it. What's the worst that he could do?"
"He could leave me!" She exclaimed in a hushed whisper. "Look, he's already iffy about you anyway. This would just make things worse. Besides, he doesn't even know anything about the history you and I have. He thinks that we met when I first started out in the WWE."
"Big deal, he leaves you!" Ted exclaimed in the same tone as Evie, only he threw his hands up in the air. "Are you going to die without John Cena by your side? It's not the end of the world, Evie. He's only a guy."
She licked her lips as she shook her head back and forth. All of this seemed to similar. They had almost the same argument when they were younger, except he was accusing her of sleeping with somebody else. Now, he was telling her to forget everything.
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I just can't, okay?" She didn't want him to know she was in love with John. She wanted John to know before she told anyone else how she felt about him. "We're not together anymore, I don't have to justify myself to you anymore."
"No, you do when what could have been my baby was miscarried. Whether you like or not, or if lover boy hates it, I'm apart of you and you're apart of me. There's nothing we can do to change any of that and you know what, I don't want it to change."
"Oh, now I matter, but eleven years ago I was a two timing tramp. I was only looking to pin a baby on you when clearly the only person I was with at the time was you."
"You know that I was afraid to own up to it."
"Just like I was afraid to own up to the miscarriage." Evie stepped closer to him, looking him dead in the eyes. "I wanted to forget everything. I wasn't only covering it to help you, John or myself. I was doing it because I wanted to forget it. This is the second time in my life that I killed one of my kids and that hurts me more than anything in the world, Ted. You can say you're hurt because you've lost one, maybe two kids in one lifetime, but I have just as much of a right to say so as you do. Both of those babies were apart of me."
"I thought you didn't know that you pregnant the second time."
"I didn't know, but that still doesn't mean the baby wasn't apart of me." Evie cried. "Everyday of my life I wondered what our baby would have looked like, and now I wonder the same thing with this second baby. Ted, I have to live with double the guilt. I killed my kids and I have to live with it."
"You had an abortion the first time."
"It was by choice and it still counts as murder."
"This time you didn't know it." Ted pointed out. He was still mad at her, but he also did feel a lot worse for her than he did for himself. "You can't blame that on yourself."
"If I had known, then none of this would be happening. We wouldn't be having this conversation right now." She turned so that he back was now facing him. It hurt her to look at him while she was having her own pity party.
"Look, we're both just as guilty for the abortion." Ted said as he watched her shoulders move up and down from how hard she was crying. "Had I not left you and gone to Kristen, then I wouldn't have driven you to get the abortion."
Evie continued to cry. She knew he was just saying everything to make her feel better. In his heart of hearts she knew that he blamed her for everything has happened. This was only another chapter to add to their life.
When he saw that she still hadn't said anything and that she wasn't moving from her spot, he got up and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Please stop crying. I hate it when you cry. In some way, I understand why you feel the way the you do, but you can't beat yourself up about it. Baby, you just have to let it be. Obviously, your last two pregnancies weren't meant to be full term. It's always for a reason. Maybe when the time is right, then you'll have a baby that you can love for the rest of your life."
Slowly, she pulled out of his grip and turned around to look up at him. A small smile crossed her face when she saw that he was being sincere. He didn't hate her for anything, he was just as confused and caught up in things than she was.
"Do you mean it?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I still love you." He admitted in a low voice.
Her heart started to pound out of her chest. She tried to move from his grip, but she couldn't. He was holding onto her tightly. She opened her mouth to tell him to let her go, but he took that opportunity to crash his lips to hers. At first, she put up a bit of a struggle, but her body was quickly reacting to his advances. Soon, she found herself kissing him back.
The two were so caught up in passion that neither realized they had already made it to the bed. Clothes were scattered across the floor and Ted was trailing kisses down Evie's body. Silent moans were escaping from her.
Ted, meanwhile, was satisfied with everything. He was finally going to have her and this time they were both going to remember it. Carefully, he allowed himself to move back up to kiss her once more. When their lips connected, he slowly entered her.
She gasped into his mouth when she felt him inside of her. Their tongues danced together as he moved in and out of her. Moans were escaping from into each other's mouths. Their breathing was getting heavier and Ted's thrusts were getting harder and harder. What would have been high pitch moans, were being thrown into Ted's mouth. He knew exactly what to do to get to her. Without any control of her own, she started to move her hips towards him.
"Evie." He moaned in a low tone, breaking the kiss.
Now that his mouth wasn't on hers anymore, she bit down on her lower lip to keep the moans in. It was hard for her to do so.
"Yes, Ted." She whimpered when he thrusts were starting to slow down. "Mmm, right there. A little harder."
The way his skin was touching hers made him insane, he started going slow just so they could stay like this. He didn't want this to end.
"Evieee."
"Harder." She whimpered.
With her writhing in pleasure underneath her, he started thrusting harder into her. Her moans were beginning to get louder.
"Shh, Evie." Ted moaned, but he knew there was no use.
She really did try to keep her moans down, but she found it harder with each passing second. Yet again, she bit down on her lip, her fingernails digging into his skin.
"Oh God, Evie." Ted whispered, driving himself further into her.
"Ted." She whimpered. "Keep going, don't let me go."
He titled his head back in pleasure, a growl escaping from the back of his throat. He was forgetting about everything. All he cared about was him and Evie. He admitted that he still loved her and now he was showing her that he did.
Evie took the opportunity too flip, so that she was now on top. Her hands rested on Ted's abs as she looked down at him. The lust was in his eyes and she liked seeing him like that. She now had him under her thumb. Her head titled back as she started to grind against him. A low moan escaped from her lips when Ted's hands ran down her sides and stopped on her hips. Moving his hips up towards her, he pushed himself even further into her.
"Let go, Evie." He said through gritted teeth. He could feel her tightening around him. She was close. Her slow movements told him that she was. "You can do it."
"This, mmm, feel so, oh yeah, good, Ted!" She moaned as she climaxed, collapsing onto him.
"Evie!" He climaxed.
For moments afterward, they laid in bed like that. Evie rested her head his chest as she processed everything that had just happened. She had just cheated on John. How could she when she knew that she loved him?
She got off of Ted and quickly put her pajamas back on. When she done getting dressed, she patiently waited for Ted to do the same thing.
Ted finally got what she was getting at and she quickly got up and got dressed. He knew that she was confused about what happened, it was clearly written on her face. When he was done getting dressed, he walked towards her and lightly placed a kiss on her lips.
"Don't be sorry." He whispered, when he pulled away from her.
Evie nodded as she looked him in the eyes. Initial shock had taken over her and she couldn't form any words to speak. She watched as he looked at once more and then climbed out the window. When he was gone, she closed the window and let the tears flow. That night she went to sleep crying as her last thought was that she had to tell John everything.
A/N: And the drama begins! Thoughts?
