The waiter returned with our meals, the smells were heavenly. "Yum!" exclaimed Stephanie as her meal was placed in front of her.

Alex looked a little weary, "I'm just going to go to the bathroom."

"I'll come with you" I said leaving my chair. We walked together toward the female bathroom. I didn't really need to go but I did want to see to it that she was alright. She left to go the toilet while I applied another coat of lip gloss to my lips. I took a glance at my mobile phone and there was nothing, so I assumed that everything was alright at home and that the guys were too busy watching the football match to care about anything else.

Alex walked back out and washed her hands. As she went to dry her hands under the dryer she looked at me, almost guiltily.

"Is everything alright, Alex?"

She almost looked frightened. Her eyes were turning red and moist. I wasn't quite sure how to respond; at the sight of her I was getting really worried.

"Alex? What is it? It's alright, you can tell me. We've been friends for years" I said, "You can tell me anything."

She whimpered before speaking softly, "Lea, I know how much you want to have a baby. I saw how much it crushed you. I just hope this doesn't upset you. "

"What doesn't upset me?"

"I don't know if you're the right person to talk about this with" she sighed as she blew her nose with some tissues.

"About what Alex?"

"I'm pregnant, but I don't want to be."

I was quite stunned by the second part of her sentence. "You don't want to be?"

"I'm just not ready, I just got married and we're just starting to live our lives and a baby is just too quick for us" she cried.

My hand rushed to my forehead as I tried comprehending what she was saying. Alex had no idea that John knew that she was pregnant, maybe that's why he didn't want me to congratulate them. I felt so bad for him and the way I reacted toward him. "Does John know?"

Alex began weeping even louder, "He found the test in the bin that said that I was pregnant and he was so happy, oh you should have seen his face... but then I lied and told him that I took another test that told me that I wasn't."

"So he thinks you're not pregnant but you are."

"I feel like I'm robbing him of something that he so fondly wants but scares the shit out of me" she said, "The sad thing is, that when you were pregnant and you thought the baby might have been John's baby, I actually wanted him to be the father and not Wade just so John could have a child. Doesn't that sound wrong?"

I was outraged by what she was telling me but I was her friend and I had to sympathise for her, "Didn't you think that John might also want to have a baby with the woman he loves? John is a sweet and honest guy and he wants to be a father but he doesn't love me, he loves you and I'm sure his dream is to have a baby with the woman he loves."

"He so much wants to be a father. I see how sweet he is with Adele and I saw how much he wanted to be there for you with your baby. But I just don't feel I'm ready to be a mother, I have to be me first" she said, "Sure one day in the future, I'd love to have a child but I just don't feel I'm ready yet and I just feel like a complete bitch telling you this when all you want is a baby."

Tears streamed down my cheek, "Of course I want a baby but I understand that not everyone gets what they want and situations are different because we're all different people. I'll tell you what maybe you should talk to your husband about it and I'm sure he'll understand you. You have to be honest with him."

Alex nodded her head, "Honesty is important and you know how much I love John... I just don't want to hurt him. Maybe he made the wrong choice is marrying me."

I shook my head, "Alex you are a beautiful, intelligent and kind hearted woman. You've been a dear friend to me for years. I think John is the fortunate one to have you as his wife. It'll turn out okay."

I gave her a tight hug, she definitely needed it. "Thank you Lea."

"No more secrets" I said as I held her hand.

"No more secrets."

After freshening ourselves up, we returned back to table where the woman were eating.

"Everything alright?" Stephanie whispered in my ear. I nodded to her and started eating.

...

Wade stomped back inside sternly; he was incredibly pissed off at what had just happened. Everyone could tell that the evening had now gone haywire as Wade slammed the front door. Dad walked back from seeing Randy to see how Wade was doing. "Are they gone?"

Wade nodded firmly.

"I hope I never have to see that girl again, the way she talked about my daughter" said Dad getting ruffled up.

"Trust me I gave her a piece of my mind, she won't be coming near here and again and looks like neither will Drew" Wade sighed.

Dad placed a hand on Wade's shoulder, he sympathised for him knowing that Drew was his best friend. "He'll come around."

The two then looked up as the back door flew open and a heated Randy came back into the house, with a nervous John running after him. Randy came face to face with Wade, "Why was she here? Did you invite her?"

Wade was stumped, "No I did not invite her, I invited Drew and she tagged along."

"But you knew that I was here yet she still came inside!" yelled Randy.

Wade had had just about enough. "You think I wanted her to come here? You shouldn't be yelling or pointing fingers at me!"

Randy huffed, "I know what you're doing here, Wade and don't think that you've got me fooled."

"Get out of my face right now or I'll make your face look ten times as worse!" yelled Wade as his face came close to Randy's.

Dad grabbed onto Randy's arm and pulled him, "It's time for us to go." John followed after the two.

"You let your daughter marry a traitor" huffed Randy under his breath. Wade had heard everything and placed one hand to Randy's back. Randy turned around and was hit by a huge punch to his jaw by Wade's right fist. Randy fell back onto Dad and John.

"Whoa!" cried Phil who to be honest was enjoying this. Sheamus stood absolutely stunned; everyone seemed to be turning on each other.

"You want to say that again? HUH?" said Wade as he shook his fist. "Frankly that was a long time coming."

Randy fumed as he glared at Wade before John dragged him out of the house. Dad shook his head and followed after the two guys left. Wade was raging as he pulled the door of the fridge fiercely, almost breaking it off. He pulled a beer out and after ripping the cap off he skulled the beverage down.

"Should we leave?" whispered Sheamus.

Phil shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the television screen, "I still want to see if Chelsea is going to win."

...

Natalya came home feeling wonderful and she wanted to do was sleep next to her loving boyfriend. As she walked inside she noticed small jots of blood in the kitchen, "Randy? Randy?"

She walked into the bedroom and found her man staring at his face with a mirror in one hand and an ice pack in the other that glued to the side of his face. She rushed over to him and was staggered, her palms stuck to her mouth as she looked at his beaten face. "Oh my god! What happened?"

Randy sighed as he took the ice pack off, "My ex wife happened."

"She did this to you?" asked Natalya shocked.

Randy rolled his eyes, "No! Her new boyfriend Drew and then I got a nice one on my jaw courtesy of Wade."

"What? Wade hit you? Why?"

"Some shit went down... I don't really want to talk about it" he whined as he took his shirt of and lay on the bed.

Natalya crossed her arms; she knew that obviously something serious must have happened for her boyfriend to come home with bruises on her face. "Let me guess, Ivana was there and you didn't settle your tea kettle."

He didn't answer. She knew she was right. "Drew being Ivana's boyfriend was defending her and you two decided to be really mature and beat on each other, right?"

Still no answer, she was getting closer. "But what I don't understand is why Wade would have hit you? I know the two of you aren't the best of friends and there's been this intense rivalry but I thought that was long put to rest."

Randy sat up, "Let's just say that we won't be going there for any play dates anymore."

...

Discovering that Alex's situation was still on my mind as the limousine pulled into my driveway, I was worried for her and John and hoped that the two would work it out. But I had a fabulous time with my lovely girl friends and was now ready to call it a night. "Goodnight" I said to the limousine driver, "Sorry about so much noise."

The driver shrugged his shoulders, "It's alright. I know women love to talk."

I chuckled and waved him goodbye. I was glad to be home, I missed my husband. The lights were off and there were no cars out the front so I assumed that all the guys had left and everyone at home must have been in bed. I walked inside and closed the door softly. As I got toward the bottom of the stairs I kicked my heels off and walked up the stairs, my feet were aching. I quietly opened Adele's bedroom door just to check on her. She looked like a little angel as she slept peacefully. I closed the door and made my way toward my bedroom but as I walked in, my husband was nowhere in sight. I looked inside the bathroom but he wasn't there. But as I dropped my shoes on the floor I could see through the window that he was sitting outside. I grabbed my coat because it was chilly and went to see him. I pulled the back door open and felt a little discouraged as I looked at him. He had his hand in some water and a beer in the other; I took a seat next to him. "Everything alright?"

Wade shook his head, "I messed up, Lea." His voice sounded weak as he took another sip of his beer.

I was confused as anything, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone was here for the guy's night and I was just waiting on Drew, but when he came here he brought Ivana with him..."

"Ivana?" I said tensely.

He nodded, "I told Drew to take her home and that Randy was here and I didn't want any trouble. But they didn't listen and they came inside before I knew it, Ivana and Randy were arguing then Drew and Randy started punching each other."

"Wait! Randy and Drew were hitting each other?" I exclaimed. I was shocked.

He nodded again, "Then Ivana and Randy were arguing again. Then I kicked her out because she said-"

"What?"

Wade was silent.

"What did she say?"

He sighed heavily, "She called you some names and I just couldn't have any of that. I'm not going to say what they are because it's untrue and I don't want you to get upset over them."

I smiled at him while I was touched by his protection of me, I had known Ivana for some time and I knew she was not my biggest fan, neither was I of her. "Just tell me what she called me."

"Fine... she called you a gold digging slut."

I shrugged my shoulders; the comment didn't really bother me. "If that's what she thinks, I'll put Kanye West as my new ringtone" I joked.

"Please don't" urged Wade.

I grinned, "And then what happen?"

Wade continued, "Well I scolded Ivana and Drew and then the two left very upset, especially Drew. I'll have to talk to him and then I come back inside and Randy starts having a go at me, saying that I started this and I was the reason this all happened. I just couldn't have that so we got into an argument. John and your Dad pulled Randy away from me before anything could happen but then he mumbled to your Dad, I can't believe your daughter married a traitor so I clocked him right in the jaw... and that's why my hands in this cold water."

My eyes grew wide with surprise, "You punched Randy?"

"Yeah, I shouldn't have but I was just so angry at everyone" he said, "I know he's your friend and I didn't want to do that to him, but I'll apologize in the morning."

I found Wade so endearing when he was so sweet and mature. This is the part of him that most people never really see. I pressed my lips to his and could have gotten drunk off the beer that I tasted in his mouth. Kissing him roughly and then pulling him away. "Don't worry about apologizing to him; they should all be apologizing to you."

Wade looked at me with a baffled expression.

"That's their own stupid issue that they need to deal with and if Randy is going to be immature about this then frankly I'm tired of his crap" I said. "I bet Sheamus must have really been amazed at how interesting the men are. He now knows what he's in for."

Wade chuckled warm heartedly, "I think he'll probably want to go back to Ireland."

I laid my head to his chest and wrapped my arms around his stomach. He placed his beer bottle on the ground and with his free arm he curved around my shoulders. "I missed you tonight."

"I really missed you" said Wade as he kissed the top of my head, "How was the girls night? Much less drama, I assume."

I glanced up at him, "Actually it was... I guess boys create more drama then girls."

He grinned as he stood up; he tossed me over his shoulder and carried me inside. "I think we should create some drama upstairs, aye?" Wade pulled me off his shoulder and into his arms. He pressed his lips to mine and with every kiss, he kissed me harder. I knew I was in for an exciting time.
