Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much.

Natalie:

John and I are spending the afternoon doing some baby shopping. I had my interview with WWE last week and I think I did well so I am hoping I get the job and then move to Stamford, Connecticut. I have a really good feeling about the job but I still need to do shopping for my son so John and I are taking time while he's home and while Angelina is at school to shop. I am so excited. I haven't felt this excited in a long time. "Why are you smiling?" John asks me as we walk through the baby store.

"I'm excited," I say with a smile. "I'm so excited to buy baby stuff and little boy outfits. And baby swings, bouncers and pacifiers; all that stuff I'm excited to buy it."

"Me too," he says as he takes my hand as he pushes the cart with the other hand. "I have to admit I am scared to have a baby. I never had a baby before. What if I drop him or something?"

"You'll be fine," I say with a smile. I think it's so cute that he is scared to be a father to a newborn. I think he will do wonderful with a newborn.

"You think so?" he asks.

"I know so," I say with a smile. Everything is perfect. I just feel like everything is falling into place for us. This path has been the best one I've chosen in years. I am where I am supposed to be.

"So did you give my idea some thought?" he asks.

"What idea?"

"About the nursery theme," he says.

"What was it again?"

"I suggested we paint the nursery blue and have a sports theme. I really want to have a sports theme for the baby," he says.

"I can work with that," I say with a smile. I love that he's so involved. This pregnancy is so different than before. I actually have him involved. I couldn't have asked for a better father for my children. I wish he could have been there for Angelina and I'm starting to regret that.

"What's wrong?" he asks. I must have a look on my face that says I'm upset because he is right on that.

"Nothing," I say as I lie to him.

"No something is wrong, Natalie, what is it?"

I can't help it as tears fill my eyes and say, "I just have some regrets."

"Regrets about what?" he asks.

"I regret not telling you about Angelina when I was pregnant with her. You missed out on so much. I'm sorry, John. I see how excited you are for this baby and I feel horrible for allowing you to miss out on Angelina."

"Natalie, you don't have to regret it. I know you did what you did for a reason. It's okay. You don't have to regret the choice you made. I am in Angelina's life now and we are getting this chance again so don't be so upset," he says. His words comfort me but not nearly enough. I can't help but to regret the choices I have made.

"I do have to regret it because you missed all this with Angelina," I say as I feel the tears fall from my eyes.

John wipes away my tears and says, "Nat, stop crying. You don't have to be upset or regret anything. I'm not upset. I understand why you did what you did. It's okay. Don't beat yourself up over it. It is okay. So please stop crying."

"I'm sorry," I say, "I can't help it."

"I know," he says. "It's okay. I love you."

"I love you too," I say before he leans down and kisses my forehead. "So do you want to go look at bedding?"

"Sure," he says as we go off to look at bedding.

We spend at least an hour at the baby store picking out cute outfits with lots of cute sayings on them. We picked up tons of blankets, bibs, onesies, caps and mits. I am really excited for this baby. Fate really does have a funny way of working out. We couldn't agree on bedding so we chose to skip that today. I am impressed with what we did get. When we get home John carries everything inside while I make us some lunch.

I take our sandwiches into the living room and sit down next to John on the couch. "What are we watching?"

"Maury," he says, "this show gets me every time. I don't understand how there are so many people out there that don't know who the father of their children are."

"Oh," I say, "me too."

"You could have been on this show with Max," he says, "you know since you were saying that he was the father of this baby."

"I would never do that," I say. "I knew you were the father the whole time."

"I know you did but I'm curious what would you have done if the baby came out looking just like me? How would you have explained that to Max?" He asks.

"Honestly Max is so stupid he probably wouldn't have noticed. He didn't even line up the conception date and my due date," I say, "he probably wouldn't have noticed the baby looking like you."

"Seriously, Nat?"

"Seriously," I say. "I want to know what Ashley's plan was when she was saying she was pregnant when she wasn't. How was she going to pull it off?"

"I don't even bother to figure out how her mind works," he says, "she is a barrel of crazy. Even the best psychologist couldn't figure out her brain. You have no idea how crazy she is."

"You're right and I don't want to know either. My brother told me stories," I say.

"Your brother told you about my wife? Why were you worried about her for?"

"Because I love you and I wanted to make sure you were with someone that deserved you and in my eyes Ashley didn't deserve you. You are way too good for her."

"And you were too good for Max. What did you ever see in him?"

"I have no idea. He wasn't always an asshole though. He was a nice guy. I think this last year he has been the worse with his controlling and abuse. I think you were a threat to him."

"I was a threat to him," he says, "and I still owe him that ass whooping. He's lucky I didn't beat him down at the wedding. I can't believe you were going to marry that guy."

"Me either but just so you know I wasn't going to go through with it."

"You weren't going to go through with it? How far were you planning on waiting for them to take it?"

"Well, before my brother stood up I was about to say that I couldn't do it. I could not spend forever with that man. He was horrible. I saw how upset he was when Angelina dropped those rings. I could never live my life with him knowing he could hit me or Angelina at any time. He was a time bomb waiting to happen."

"I see," he says.

"So did Ashley sign the papers?" I ask.

"Yes," he says, "she signed the papers but she was vindictive about it."

"What do you mean vindictive?" I ask.

"She was just evil about it," he says as his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and says, "hold on."

"Okay," I say.

"Hello," says John. I can't hear what is going on or what is being said on the other line but by the look of his face I can tell he is upset. "She can't do that! I am not going to allow her to do that! Absolutely not!" he says.

*A/N: So what did you think? Please review and thank-you for reading.

*I also want to thank-you for being so patient with me. Things have been pretty hectic lately so I am not updating as often. I at least try to update once a week which is working out for me. I hope to update more than that but like I said things have been quite hectic so please continue to be patient with me. Thank-you once again for your patience.
