Author's Note: This was going to be a one shot but I didn't feel like writing a 12,000 word story so I broke it up into two parts. I'm about to start working on the next part now. And it's going to be graphic. NOW WITH BANNER!
Austin lurked in the shadows watching and waiting. He was furious and he had to do something about it. Smirking he saw him walking down the empty corridor and he was happy that he was alone. There was a problem and he was about to solve it. It was over a girl, of course, but this problem was bigger than anything he had to deal with before. Slowly he walked past Austin in the shadows not noticing him, quickly he walked out running up behind him he clubbed him on the back of his head with his forearm. The blonde man fell to the ground slowly flipping over Aries jumped on him.
Grabbing him roughly by the face, his nails dug into his rosy cheeks. With scared eyes he looked up at Austin, the man he called friend, holding onto his wrist trying to pull him away he stared up into his bright eyes.
“Hello, Ken,” Aries said roughly as Ken tried to struggle underneath him. “Now don’t do that that would ruin my fun. Now you are going to listen to me.”
Ken’s eyes quickly moved about trying to find a way for him to get out of this odd and awkward situation. Realizing there was nothing he could do, he nodded.
“Good,” Austin smirked as he tightened his grip on Kens face. “Now you listen to me, I’ve seen you with her. Don’t you understand? She’s mine! I don’t care what the hell you did to break us up, we’re getting back together. And no matter what she says—that baby is mine!” Austin looked up wildly as he saw a shadow of someone approaching. “We’ll finish this later.”
Quickly letting go of Ken’s face he ran off down the hall. Propping himself up on his elbows he adjusted his jaw. It was sore in the spots that were attached to Austin’s vice like grip. Ever since he had known Austin he had an obsessive personality but this was drawing the line.
“Ken?” A sweet voice said from behind him. Looking over his shoulder he smiled weakly as Shae dropped the book she was looking at and walked to him as fast as she could considering, she was just about six months pregnant. “What happened?” She asked kneeling down surprisingly easily.
“Fell down,” He said laughing as she sat next to him on the floor. “Clumsy of me, slipped on my own two feet.”
“What’s with the marks on your face?” She asked seriously touching the fingernail imprints on his cheeks.
“Don’t worry about that,” He smiled holding her hand to his cheek. “What are
you doing out of the locker room? You know I want you to be careful.”
“I got bored,” She sighed shrugging as Ken looked at her sympathetically. “I hate just sitting around while you get to move about backstage, tripping over your own feet.”
“Hey,” He laughed as she smiled quickly looking away from him. “Don’t make fun of me.”
“But you make it so easy for me to do so,” She grinned up at him as he climbed to his feet. “You’ve been clumsy a lot.”
“I’m drunk when I’m not drunk,” Ken smirked helping her up. “It’s a funny thing.”
“That would explain your lack of being able to walk a straight line,” She giggled as Ken looked at her rolling his eyes.
“You hungry?” He asked wrapping his arm around her shoulders as they slowly walked down the corridor as it filled with wrestlers preparing for the show.
“Starving!” She smiled as he grinned at her.
“Craving anything?” He asked.
“Mozzarella sticks with ice cream?” She asked hopefully.
“That’s a new one!” Ken laughed loudly as she blushed.
“It’s not to hard is it?” She asked biting her lip.
“Of course not,” He smiled rubbing her cheek “I’ll go down to that little
Italian restaurant down the road and pick you up a carton of chocolate chip
ice cream at the store. Anything to drink?”
“Strawberry Water,” She grinned.
“At least all the food you want is easily accessible,” Ken smiled kissing the top of her head. “I’ll go get that for you now. My match isn’t for another hour and a half.”
“I’ll be waiting,” She smiled standing on her toes as she kissed him lightly. Ken winked as her as he walked off quickly down the hall. Wrapping her arms around herself she grinned as he disappeared from view.
Aries walked out from his hiding spot as he slowly approached Shae. His heart raced and his face flushed as he stood behind her. Lightly he touched her bare arm, she jumped but he didn’t care. His fingers moved down the smooth skin of the girl in front of him as his eyes flared with hunger.
“How’s my precious baby doing?” He whispered in her ear.
“Austin,” She said her breath catching as she looked around for someone that she could run off with. But the hall seemed to clear out in a matter of seconds leaving them alone together. “What are you talking about?”
“Do I have to remind you every time I see you?” He asked both of his hands moving their way around her arms as she stood still like a statue. “That baby you’re carrying is mine. Or did you forget that that amazing night of love making all those months ago.”
“You’re demented,” She said quickly turning around glaring, but not having enough will power to hit or push him. “How many times do I have to tell you it’s Kens?”
“Just because you want something to be true it doesn’t mean it will be,” He said moving closer to her as his fingers lightly touched her neck. She tried to hide her shiver. “Our night together created a baby.”
“Our night together was forced,” She said through gritted teeth.
“Don’t kid yourself you enjoyed it as much as I did,” He said brushing her hair off of her shoulders as his hands rested on them before moving to her neck. “It’s such a shame I had to tell Ken about our night. He took it so badly, wouldn’t look at me for weeks. Poor sap, I think he’s in denial about the baby.”
“He knows the truth,” She said quietly as his hands tightened on her throat causing her to gasp.
“Now, now,” He said kissing her roughly “Don’t go into denial too.”
“Austin please,” She said begging, touching him for the first time as her hands rested calmly on his arms.
“I’m sorry,” He said with a fake smile “I do tend to get very carried away.”
“I understand,” She said weakly. “Can—can I go please? I need to sit down.”
“Come sit in my locker room,” He said smiling as he brushed her bangs out of her eyes cupping her cheek in his palm. “We’ll have a good time.”
“N-no,” She said her insides shivering at the thought “I promised Ken I would meet him in our locker room.”
“It’s probably for the best then,” He said his eyes flashing with lust as he looked over her, and smiling as his eyes lingered on his stomach. “Take care of my baby.”
“I—I will,” She said trying to remain calm.
“Good bye my love,” He smiled as he kissed her passionately as she stood there still.
As he walked away and his hand left her neck she shivered uncontrollably. She didn’t know what she did to have him acting this way to her. He was bordering on obsessed and there was nothing anyone could do. No one could prove that he forced her, no one was ever around when he approached her, and nothing was going her way.
Shae sat gingerly in a chair, clutching at her stomach she closed her eyes and let out a small sob. She was alone till Ken came back, after being touched and kissed by Austin she felt physically sick. She was lost and didn’t know what to do. Austin had been forcing himself on her for six months, ever since that day she broke it off with him for being too obsessive. Often she wondered what would’ve happened if she had stayed with him. But knew it was no use, some how, some way she would’ve found her way to Ken. She loved him, it seemed like she always had.
Ken walked quickly down the hall; he had rushed to get Shae her food. While he was placing the order for the mozzarella sticks he got a sense that he should be heading back as soon as he possibly could. Mentally he cursed himself for leaving her alone, he knew that Austin would try to do something to her and no one would care. Pushing open his door he sighed with relief as he saw her sleeping in the chair. Smiling he put down the food on the table. Shutting the door he locked it so Austin wouldn’t try to do anything else. Walking up to her slowly he kneeled down in front of her, and rubbed her leg lightly.
“Oh god,” She said jumping lightly “Ken,” She smiled.
“What happened?” He asked quietly as he saw the look in her eyes.
“Nothing,” She said shaking her head and biting her lip. “He tried as always
but nothing happened. I was able to get him away.”
“This is all my fault,” Ken sighed as he said down on the floor resting his head in his hands. “I should’ve gotten you away, gotten us away from all of this, from him.”
“Don’t blame yourself for this,” She said quietly running her fingers through his short hair. “We’ll figure out a way to get past this.”
“Figure out a way,” Ken said slowly as he bit his lip in concentration. “Figure out a way—yes that’s what we need a way.”
“Ken?” Shae asked looking up at him as he shot up and smiled brightly. “What?”
“I think I’ve thought of something,” He said moving quickly to the door.
“Ken wait!” She said moving as fast as she could out of her chair and
grabbing him by the arm looking at him worriedly. “What’s going on here? Please tell me!”
“I can’t,” He said quickly looked down at her. Smiling he brushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear as he cupped her cheek. “Just trust me okay?”
“Ken what are you going to do?” She asked her voice cracking with emotion. “Please, don’t go, wait.”
“But,” He asked pointing toward the door. Looking at her face he nodded lightly as he held onto her. “Okay okay, I’ll stay. I’ll—I’ll do it at the
hotel. Then I can know that you’re okay locked in our room.”
“When’s your match?” She asked holding onto him tightly. “I don’t want you to go.”
“What happened that has made you so scared?” Ken asked rubbing her back. “You don’t have to hold anything back from me. I believe you, how many times do I have to say that? I believe what you say not him.”
“I know,” She said clinging to him as he held her trying to comfort her the best he could.
“They why do you keep hiding things from me?”
“Your reaction, I think it’s better to keep it to myself so you won’t want to kill Austin more than you want to,” She said laughing quietly trying to lighten the mood.
“Let’s not talk about this now okay?” He asked holding her at arms length. “Your ice cream is melting.”
“I just want the mozzarella sticks if that’s okay with you,” She asked blushing.
“That’s fine,” Ken laughed as he cupped her face in his hands. “I was so worried I didn’t get you the ice cream.”
“You little--”
“You’re not going to be proud of me that I was worried for you and rushed back?” He asked as she hit him playfully.
“Ken Anderson what am I going to do with you?” She said shaking her head.
“Anything you want,” He kissed her as she said down at the small table. “I have to go change right now. Eat, I’ll change then sit with you for a while.”
“You don’t have to do that,” She said after scoffing down a few of the mozzarella sticks. “Go prepare for your match I’ll be all set. I can protect myself.”
“I know you can,” He grinned as he pulled out his tights in boots. “It’s just--”
“Just nothing, Austin can’t do anything to me in our locker room. I’ll lock the door. I can tell when you’re out there so don’t worry,” She said reassuringly as she got up from the chair and wrapped her arms around his waist holding him tight.
“Okay,” He sighed looking down at her “I’ll be back in an hour. Then we can go back to the hotel and rest.”
“Sounds good to me,” She stood on her toes as she kissed him lightly. “I love you.”
“I know,” He said winking as he left the locker room.
Shae had fallen asleep as she waited for Ken to come back from his match. He was running late and she was exhausted from spending the day at the arena. All she wanted to do was going back to the hotel and sleep because the next day Ken and her would be heading back home for a while and staying away from Austin. He had on occasion tried to follow them but she wouldn’t allow that not this time. Groaning she slowly opened her eyes as she looked about the room.
Austin smirked as he stood outside of Shae’s lock room. He had looked inside a few minutes ago and noticed she was passed out in one of the chairs. Ken was still out in the ring and wouldn’t come back for another five minutes. Perfect time for him, looking around he placed his hand on the door knob and turned it slowly.
Ken threw the towel over his head as he walked quickly back to the locker room. He saw Austin behind the crowd smirking at him as he watched him. He was planning something but what that something was Ken didn’t know. As he rounded the last corner he slowed down, he scowled as he saw Austin hovering outside of the door. The bastard was trying to sneak into the locker room. Ken threw the towel down, as he saw Austin slowly opened the door. Growling he ran toward him just as he swung open the door he tackled him to the ground.
“What the?” Shae said quickly as she was trying to wake up she saw Austin at the door and was about to say something but then saw someone tackle him to the ground. Slowly she pushed herself out of the chair and walked as fast as she could toward the fight she could hear. “Ken!”
“If you even dare--” He said fiercely as he choked Austin his eyes flaring.
“Ken!” She said trying to get him off.
The commotion attracted half of the locker room, Shae stood back as two of Kens friends had to pull him away from Austin. He was looking at him crazily as Austin tried to get up without seeming like he was hurt. Straightening his shirt he smirked at Ken before winking at Shae before walking off.
“I’m fine,” Ken said trying to get his arms free of his friends. “Get off me.”
“Ken,” Shae said quietly as the hall cleared, she looked back at Aries before quickly looking at Ken. “What was that all about?” She cupped his face in her hands as she tried to calm him down.
“I was—he was--” He looked down at her as he hugged her tightly. “I need to control my temper.”
“No you need to let this go,” She said holding him tightly despite the fact he was covered in sweat. “He’s not going to do anything to me, babe you have to realize that.”
“You say he won’t,” He said holding her at arms length looking at her seriously “But you have to know he’s going to try. I mean he thinks the baby is his! I just,” He drifted off as a smirk came across his lips.
“Ken, sweetie what’s wrong?” Shae asked quickly shaking him a bit.
“I just thought of something, something different then what I thought of before,” He snapped out of it as he looked down at her quickly. “Quick we have to hurry back to the hotel.”
“Ken you haven’t even changed! Sweetie you need to take a shower!” Shae said rushing into the locker room behind him as he moved around throwing things into random bags and throwing them on the table. “Ken slow down!”
“What?” He asked as he looked at her quickly throwing on a shirt.
“Please Ken,” She said looking at him worried as she clutched at her stomach.
“What’s wrong?” He asked quickly rushing to her. “Are you okay?”
“Just a little dizzy,” She said quietly as she lost her balance and fell against the wall. “Shae! Shae! Babe what’s wrong are you okay?”
Ken’s heart raced as Shae fainted in front of him; she was laying out of the floor looking dead. He didn’t know what to do, after a few seconds he ran out of the locker room and ran off to get the trainer.
“She’s exhausted,” She heard someone said quietly “How has she been sleeping? Eating?”
“She’s been fine, taking her vitamins, trying to eat right aside from her cravings, I don’t know what happened. It has been a stressful day for her,”
She heard Ken’s voice filled with worry.
“It’s gotta be the stress, just let her rest make sure she eats and drinks lots of fluids, she’ll be fine in the morning,” The second voice said.
Shae slowly opened her eyes as she looked around the room. Some how she had gotten back to the hotel room which she didn’t remember how, the last thing she remembered was being in the locker room looking at Ken. She tried to keep her eyes open but was over come with exhaustion. She groaned.
“Shae,” Ken said quickly rushing to her side. “You passed out.”
“What?”
“The trainer said it was from exhaustion, I’m blaming Austin,” Ken said spitefully.
“I’m fine okay,” She said groggily smiling as her eyes closed again. “But I am very tired.”
“Go to sleep babe,” Ken said brushing back her hair.
“Wait,” She said shooting her eyes open “The baby?”
“Fine,” Ken said rubbing her stomach lightly “You go to sleep you’ve been out for a few hours it’s about seven o’clock so just get some rest please.” He smiled as he moved off the bed.
“Don’t leave me,” She said catching his hand eyes going wide “Please stay with me, till I go to sleep.”
“Of course,” He smiled as he sat on the edge of the bed brushing back her bangs as she quietly closed her eyes and tried to go off to sleep.
Ken waited till she was sound asleep before he moved from the side of the bed. Grabbing one of the electronic keys off of the entertainment center and with one last look at Shae he walked out of the room. He was on a mission and that mission could hurt everything that he has worked for. Shae being safe, the baby being protected and Austin staying far far away from her, was all he wanted and he was hoping that this would work. He was going to try to use reverse psychology on him, telling him a bunch of lies that he wanted to hear and hoped that he would believe it.
Slowly he walked down the hall way at the end of the hall was Austin’s room. He stood outside the door contemplating the idea and the numerous ways it could backfire right in his face. All he could think about was Austin using this to his advantage to take Shae and the baby away from Ken. Ken already knew what Austin did to her, and that the baby could be his but in no way did she feel anything for him. As she constantly reassured Ken, he was the one she loved and would always love. Taking a deep breath he knocked on his door.
“Coming,” He heard Austin’s annoyed voice yell. The door flung open as Aries glared at him “What do you want?”
“I’ve come to talk Austin,” Ken said quietly.
“Really about what?” He snapped leaning on the door frame.
“Look I’m sorry about what happened at the arena Austin. Before I went out to the ring, Shae told me something I wasn’t happy about, she confessed to me about everything,” Ken said convincingly.
“Everything?” Austin said slowly smirking.
“Yes, she said that the baby wasn’t mine. That it is yours. She’s just lying to you because she doesn’t know how to tell you the truth. The whole truth,”
“Which is?” Austin asked hopefully.
“I promised I wouldn’t tell you,” Ken said hanging his head “But I’m willing to help. I give up Austin you win. You were right before Shae never loved me, she was just using me.”
“I’m sorry you had to get into the middle of this Ken,” Austin said remorsefully as he smirked to himself. “I want to see her.”
“No!” Ken said loudly as Austin looked at him strangely. “I mean no, no she doesn’t know I’m talking to you. We have to, you know, plan this out. We’ll work it out. Work something out so we can get her to admit the truth to you.”
“Can’t wait,” He smiled.
“Well I should be heading back to my room now. Long day tomorrow,” Ken waved as he started to walk away.
“Anderson wait!” Austin yelled at, Ken shivered before slowly turning around.
“Yeah?”
“Are you fucking her?” He smirked as Ken’s breath was knocked out of him by the question. All he could do was muster up a smirk and a nod “She’s great isn’t she? I think she likes to be dominated.”
“Yes,” Ken said trying to break the topic becoming sick to his stomach as Austin was basically saying what he had done to her. “It’s nice. But I’ve got work to do.”
“Oh yes go on, we’ll talk about that later,” He winked before shutting his door.
Ken shivered as he walked back toward his and Shae’s room. He couldn’t believe what he had just done and what he had been told. It always amazed that that it seemed like he was the only one that believed Shae when she told people Austin had raped her. Shaking his head he opened the door and quietly shut it behind him.
The next morning Ken woke up before Shae. He wanted to let her sleep as much as she wanted to in order to keep up her strength. The doctors had already threatened her with bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy and she never wanted that. Ken wanted to surprise her with breakfast in bed. Throwing on a pair of shorts and a shirt he left the room quietly to go down to the hotel restaurant to order breakfast for two.
After ordering and waiting for fifteen minutes he and a waiter carried up the meal to his room. Tipping the waiter after he left the food on the table he smiled as Shae slept quietly wrapped in the covers. As he decorated the table he made sure that she didn’t wake. After a few minutes the table was set, slowly he walked over to the bed and sat down. Rubbing her bangs from her eyes she groaned as her eyes fluttered open.
“Ken,” She smiled as she hugged him tightly.
“What’s wrong?” He asked holding onto her. “You looked like you were sleeping fine.”
“I’ve always been a dead sleeper,” She said as she still held onto him.
“What was the dream?” He asked trying to comfort her.
“It was Austin,” She said breaking away from him as he rubbed away the tears. “He was—he was. Oh god Ken.”
“Shush, shush, its okay,” Ken said kissing the side of her head as he held onto her. It was near the date when Austin took it a step to far and she always had dreams leading up to it. He should’ve remembered he couldn’t believe that he didn’t remember. “I had this whole romantic morning planned; I’m stupid for not realizing something was wrong.”
“No,” She smiled weakly pulling away from him looking quickly at the table “I’m not going to let him ruin our lives.”
“Shae there is something I have to tell you,” Ken said guiltily.
“What?” She asked quickly.
“Last night after you had gone back to sleep I went to go talk to Austin,” He said slowly.
“Ken,” She said looking confused.
“I thought I had the perfect excuse for Austin to leave us alone. I figured this would be our one chance to get him off of our backs,” He said cupping her face in his hands as he looked her in the eyes. “I think I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life.”
Austin lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling. He hadn’t really gotten any sleep after Ken had visited him the night before. It wasn’t what he was expecting but it couldn’t have made him happier. All he wanted in the world was Shae he loved her, even if she didn’t love him he didn’t care he wanted her. He wanted to be with her and their baby. Except Ken was in his way, Ken had told him last night that he didn’t matter anymore and that Shae never loved him. But there was something in his eye that made Austin second guess was the younger man was saying to him.
He was stirred from his thoughts as he heard his phone beep. Sighing he quickly sat up and grabbed the phone off of the small table and flipped it open. He had a new text message from Alex, he was in town. Austin smiled as he dialed his friend’s phone number after waiting for a few rings Alex picked up.
“Austin,” Alex said happily into the phone. “What’s up? I wasn’t sure if you were still around!”
“I’m here for two more days,” Austin said yawning. “Hey I’ll be in the hotel all day why don’t you come up and see me? It’s been forever and we’ve got a
lot to talk about.”
“Yeah man, I’m about three block from there I’ll be there in fifteen minutes,” Alex said as Austin nodded.
“Great, I’m in room three-oh-four.” Austin said quickly “I’ll see you in a bit. Bye.” He quickly hung up the phone and smiled down at it. He couldn’t
help but think how all this was about to play out.
“It’s great to see you man,” Alex smiled leaning back in the chair that he dragged next to the bed. Propping his feet up on the other bed he smiled at his friend. “So what’s been happening in the nine months since I’ve last seen you?”
“I could be a Dad by now for all you know,” Austin winked as Alex laughed.
“Good one, you as a Dad that’ll be the day. The infamous Austin Aries being tied down by a wife and kid,” Alex said brightly as he leaned back in the chair. “Ah man, speaking of tied down how’s it going with what’s-her-face-uh Shae?”
“Things aren’t really going with me and Shae, we’ve hit a bit of a road block,” Austin said shrugging. “Nothing I can’t over come. In fact I should be getting over it soon.”
“You leave her at home?” Alex asked quickly.
“Actually no,” He said laughing. “She’s down the hall.”
"Two different rooms?” Alex asked slowly as Austin shook his head. “Oh.”
“We broke up about six months ago,” Austin said slowly as Alex appeared shocked “We had some problems, I was willing to give it a shot but she refused to so we broke it off.”
“And why is she down the hall?” Alex wondered.
“She’s dating Ken,”
“Anderson?”
“That’s the one,” Austin sighed running his hand through his short hair. “I never thought she would go for someone like him.”
“It seems like he kinda stole her from you. How long have they been dating?” Alex asked quickly.
“Six months,” Austin said seriously. “It seemed like after I broke it off with her she went crawling to Anderson. I never know what to say to them when I see them especially considering--”
“Considering?”
“She’s pregnant.”
“Are we feeling better?” Ken smiled as he leaned on the door frame to the bathroom. Shae was putting up her hair after spending a long time soaking in the tub.
“Much,” She smiled back as Ken walked up behind her.
“Do you want to talk about—what I said?”
“Ken,” She sighed shaking her head. Looking into the mirror she frowned at him as he stood quietly behind her. “I don’t know what to say to you about that. It seemed like a good idea but it won’t go off right. You should’ve known that. Now Austin,” She paused taking a deep breath “Now Austin is going to be relentless in getting me back. We’ve got two more days left with him. And believe me he will try to get me back in those two days.”
“Shae I’m sorry,” He said quickly as she walked out of the bathroom. “How many more times do I have to say that?”
“I don’t want you to say it anymore,” She sighed sitting down on the bed
slowly. “The sooner we get out of here the better.”
“We have to head to the show soon aren’t you coming?” Ken asked quickly as he
sat on the foot of the bed.
“I’m exhausted, do I have to go?”
“I want you near me,” He said rubbing her leg lightly “I want you safe.”
“I am safe silly,” She laughed quietly as she rested her hands on her stomach “Austin can’t get me in our hotel room. He’d have to break down the door. I doubt he’s strong enough to do that. Although I wouldn’t under estimate Austin at this moment,” She sighed closing her eyes taking a deep breath.
“Babe you okay?” Ken asked quickly rushing to her side, holding her hand tightly and brushing back her hair.
“Yes, just some little pains,” She said quickly holding her eyes closed as Ken looked at her worriedly. “I’m gonna be okay don’t worry.”
“You’re still coming right?” He asked as he kissed her lightly.
“Of course,” She said through a forced smile “Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
“Would you like anything?” He asked quickly.
“Ice,” She smiled brightly.
Austin walked slowly in the back of the arena looking for Ken. Alex was following closely behind him. They both had thought of a way to confront Ken and a threat to make him leave Shae and have her be with the father of her child. He was completely lost in his thoughts and didn’t even notice when they approached Ken’s locker room. Nor did he notice Ken leaving to go to his match. Alex did notice however and when Ken turned the corner he held out his arm in front of Austin causing him to stop abruptly.
“What are you doing?” Austin asked irritably.
“Didn’t you see who just left his locker room?” Alex smiled.
“Am I supposed to care?” He asked rolling his eyes.
“Yes, considering it was Ken who just left his locker room. And guaranteed Shae is sitting in that locker room all by herself,” Alex grinned.
“Oh, perfect,” Austin smirked quickly walking toward the only shut door in the hallway. He stood there for a moment savoring the thought about what he was going to do. Smirking he knocked on the door.
“Ken I didn’t think you’d—oh dear,” Shae said opening the door her bright smile turning to a frown and a look of concern crossed her face. “Austin—Alex what are you two doing here?”
“I came to talk,” Austin said pushing the door open all the way causing Shae to stumble backward. Alex followed behind him lightly shutting the door. Swallowing hard Shae backed herself against the wall. “Don’t you want to talk to the love of your life?”
“Ken’s out in the ring,” She said her mouth going dry “It’s kinda hard to talk to him.”
“Don’t lie,” Austin snapped taking a step closer to her. “Ken told me how you really felt there is no need to cover it up anymore you know c’mon tell me.”
“There is nothing I have to tell you,” She said quietly “Just leave you don’t belong here.”
“I belong with the mother of my child, how hard is that to understand?” Austin smirked.
“Go find her then you aren’t talking to her,” She said quickly “Now just leave! Ken is the father of this baby! Get it through your thick skull will you! Now get out!”
“TELL THE TRUTH!” Austin yelled at her as she trembled. She groaned clutching at her stomach as she let out a gasp.
“Austin,” Alex said trying to calm his friend down once he noticed something was wrong.
“Who is the father?”
“AUSTIN!” Alex said quickly “Something is wrong.”
“Shae, what’s wrong?” Austin asked worriedly.
“I think my water just broke,” She said quietly looking at up him.

Author's Note: This was going to be a one shot but I didn't feel like writing a 12,000 word story so I broke it up into two parts. I'm about to start working on the next part now. And it's going to be graphic. NOW WITH BANNER!
Austin lurked in the shadows watching and waiting. He was furious and he had to do something about it. Smirking he saw him walking down the empty corridor and he was happy that he was alone. There was a problem and he was about to solve it. It was over a girl, of course, but this problem was bigger than anything he had to deal with before. Slowly he walked past Austin in the shadows not noticing him, quickly he walked out running up behind him he clubbed him on the back of his head with his forearm. The blonde man fell to the ground slowly flipping over Aries jumped on him.
Grabbing him roughly by the face, his nails dug into his rosy cheeks. With scared eyes he looked up at Austin, the man he called friend, holding onto his wrist trying to pull him away he stared up into his bright eyes.
“Hello, Ken,” Aries said roughly as Ken tried to struggle underneath him. “Now don’t do that that would ruin my fun. Now you are going to listen to me.”
Ken’s eyes quickly moved about trying to find a way for him to get out of this odd and awkward situation. Realizing there was nothing he could do, he nodded.
“Good,” Austin smirked as he tightened his grip on Kens face. “Now you listen to me, I’ve seen you with her. Don’t you understand? She’s mine! I don’t care what the hell you did to break us up, we’re getting back together. And no matter what she says—that baby is mine!” Austin looked up wildly as he saw a shadow of someone approaching. “We’ll finish this later.”
Quickly letting go of Ken’s face he ran off down the hall. Propping himself up on his elbows he adjusted his jaw. It was sore in the spots that were attached to Austin’s vice like grip. Ever since he had known Austin he had an obsessive personality but this was drawing the line.
“Ken?” A sweet voice said from behind him. Looking over his shoulder he smiled weakly as Shae dropped the book she was looking at and walked to him as fast as she could considering, she was just about six months pregnant. “What happened?” She asked kneeling down surprisingly easily.
“Fell down,” He said laughing as she sat next to him on the floor. “Clumsy of me, slipped on my own two feet.”
“What’s with the marks on your face?” She asked seriously touching the fingernail imprints on his cheeks.
“Don’t worry about that,” He smiled holding her hand to his cheek. “What are
you doing out of the locker room? You know I want you to be careful.”
“I got bored,” She sighed shrugging as Ken looked at her sympathetically. “I hate just sitting around while you get to move about backstage, tripping over your own feet.”
“Hey,” He laughed as she smiled quickly looking away from him. “Don’t make fun of me.”
“But you make it so easy for me to do so,” She grinned up at him as he climbed to his feet. “You’ve been clumsy a lot.”
“I’m drunk when I’m not drunk,” Ken smirked helping her up. “It’s a funny thing.”
“That would explain your lack of being able to walk a straight line,” She giggled as Ken looked at her rolling his eyes.
“You hungry?” He asked wrapping his arm around her shoulders as they slowly walked down the corridor as it filled with wrestlers preparing for the show.
“Starving!” She smiled as he grinned at her.
“Craving anything?” He asked.
“Mozzarella sticks with ice cream?” She asked hopefully.
“That’s a new one!” Ken laughed loudly as she blushed.
“It’s not to hard is it?” She asked biting her lip.
“Of course not,” He smiled rubbing her cheek “I’ll go down to that little
Italian restaurant down the road and pick you up a carton of chocolate chip
ice cream at the store. Anything to drink?”
“Strawberry Water,” She grinned.
“At least all the food you want is easily accessible,” Ken smiled kissing the top of her head. “I’ll go get that for you now. My match isn’t for another hour and a half.”
“I’ll be waiting,” She smiled standing on her toes as she kissed him lightly. Ken winked as her as he walked off quickly down the hall. Wrapping her arms around herself she grinned as he disappeared from view.
Aries walked out from his hiding spot as he slowly approached Shae. His heart raced and his face flushed as he stood behind her. Lightly he touched her bare arm, she jumped but he didn’t care. His fingers moved down the smooth skin of the girl in front of him as his eyes flared with hunger.
“How’s my precious baby doing?” He whispered in her ear.
“Austin,” She said her breath catching as she looked around for someone that she could run off with. But the hall seemed to clear out in a matter of seconds leaving them alone together. “What are you talking about?”
“Do I have to remind you every time I see you?” He asked both of his hands moving their way around her arms as she stood still like a statue. “That baby you’re carrying is mine. Or did you forget that that amazing night of love making all those months ago.”
“You’re demented,” She said quickly turning around glaring, but not having enough will power to hit or push him. “How many times do I have to tell you it’s Kens?”
“Just because you want something to be true it doesn’t mean it will be,” He said moving closer to her as his fingers lightly touched her neck. She tried to hide her shiver. “Our night together created a baby.”
“Our night together was forced,” She said through gritted teeth.
“Don’t kid yourself you enjoyed it as much as I did,” He said brushing her hair off of her shoulders as his hands rested on them before moving to her neck. “It’s such a shame I had to tell Ken about our night. He took it so badly, wouldn’t look at me for weeks. Poor sap, I think he’s in denial about the baby.”
“He knows the truth,” She said quietly as his hands tightened on her throat causing her to gasp.
“Now, now,” He said kissing her roughly “Don’t go into denial too.”
“Austin please,” She said begging, touching him for the first time as her hands rested calmly on his arms.
“I’m sorry,” He said with a fake smile “I do tend to get very carried away.”
“I understand,” She said weakly. “Can—can I go please? I need to sit down.”
“Come sit in my locker room,” He said smiling as he brushed her bangs out of her eyes cupping her cheek in his palm. “We’ll have a good time.”
“N-no,” She said her insides shivering at the thought “I promised Ken I would meet him in our locker room.”
“It’s probably for the best then,” He said his eyes flashing with lust as he looked over her, and smiling as his eyes lingered on his stomach. “Take care of my baby.”
“I—I will,” She said trying to remain calm.
“Good bye my love,” He smiled as he kissed her passionately as she stood there still.
As he walked away and his hand left her neck she shivered uncontrollably. She didn’t know what she did to have him acting this way to her. He was bordering on obsessed and there was nothing anyone could do. No one could prove that he forced her, no one was ever around when he approached her, and nothing was going her way.
Shae sat gingerly in a chair, clutching at her stomach she closed her eyes and let out a small sob. She was alone till Ken came back, after being touched and kissed by Austin she felt physically sick. She was lost and didn’t know what to do. Austin had been forcing himself on her for six months, ever since that day she broke it off with him for being too obsessive. Often she wondered what would’ve happened if she had stayed with him. But knew it was no use, some how, some way she would’ve found her way to Ken. She loved him, it seemed like she always had.
Ken walked quickly down the hall; he had rushed to get Shae her food. While he was placing the order for the mozzarella sticks he got a sense that he should be heading back as soon as he possibly could. Mentally he cursed himself for leaving her alone, he knew that Austin would try to do something to her and no one would care. Pushing open his door he sighed with relief as he saw her sleeping in the chair. Smiling he put down the food on the table. Shutting the door he locked it so Austin wouldn’t try to do anything else. Walking up to her slowly he kneeled down in front of her, and rubbed her leg lightly.
“Oh god,” She said jumping lightly “Ken,” She smiled.
“What happened?” He asked quietly as he saw the look in her eyes.
“Nothing,” She said shaking her head and biting her lip. “He tried as always
but nothing happened. I was able to get him away.”
“This is all my fault,” Ken sighed as he said down on the floor resting his head in his hands. “I should’ve gotten you away, gotten us away from all of this, from him.”
“Don’t blame yourself for this,” She said quietly running her fingers through his short hair. “We’ll figure out a way to get past this.”
“Figure out a way,” Ken said slowly as he bit his lip in concentration. “Figure out a way—yes that’s what we need a way.”
“Ken?” Shae asked looking up at him as he shot up and smiled brightly. “What?”
“I think I’ve thought of something,” He said moving quickly to the door.
“Ken wait!” She said moving as fast as she could out of her chair and
grabbing him by the arm looking at him worriedly. “What’s going on here? Please tell me!”
“I can’t,” He said quickly looked down at her. Smiling he brushed a stray piece of hair behind her ear as he cupped her cheek. “Just trust me okay?”
“Ken what are you going to do?” She asked her voice cracking with emotion. “Please, don’t go, wait.”
“But,” He asked pointing toward the door. Looking at her face he nodded lightly as he held onto her. “Okay okay, I’ll stay. I’ll—I’ll do it at the
hotel. Then I can know that you’re okay locked in our room.”
“When’s your match?” She asked holding onto him tightly. “I don’t want you to go.”
“What happened that has made you so scared?” Ken asked rubbing her back. “You don’t have to hold anything back from me. I believe you, how many times do I have to say that? I believe what you say not him.”
“I know,” She said clinging to him as he held her trying to comfort her the best he could.
“They why do you keep hiding things from me?”
“Your reaction, I think it’s better to keep it to myself so you won’t want to kill Austin more than you want to,” She said laughing quietly trying to lighten the mood.
“Let’s not talk about this now okay?” He asked holding her at arms length. “Your ice cream is melting.”
“I just want the mozzarella sticks if that’s okay with you,” She asked blushing.
“That’s fine,” Ken laughed as he cupped her face in his hands. “I was so worried I didn’t get you the ice cream.”
“You little--”
“You’re not going to be proud of me that I was worried for you and rushed back?” He asked as she hit him playfully.
“Ken Anderson what am I going to do with you?” She said shaking her head.
“Anything you want,” He kissed her as she said down at the small table. “I have to go change right now. Eat, I’ll change then sit with you for a while.”
“You don’t have to do that,” She said after scoffing down a few of the mozzarella sticks. “Go prepare for your match I’ll be all set. I can protect myself.”
“I know you can,” He grinned as he pulled out his tights in boots. “It’s just--”
“Just nothing, Austin can’t do anything to me in our locker room. I’ll lock the door. I can tell when you’re out there so don’t worry,” She said reassuringly as she got up from the chair and wrapped her arms around his waist holding him tight.
“Okay,” He sighed looking down at her “I’ll be back in an hour. Then we can go back to the hotel and rest.”
“Sounds good to me,” She stood on her toes as she kissed him lightly. “I love you.”
“I know,” He said winking as he left the locker room.
Shae had fallen asleep as she waited for Ken to come back from his match. He was running late and she was exhausted from spending the day at the arena. All she wanted to do was going back to the hotel and sleep because the next day Ken and her would be heading back home for a while and staying away from Austin. He had on occasion tried to follow them but she wouldn’t allow that not this time. Groaning she slowly opened her eyes as she looked about the room.
Austin smirked as he stood outside of Shae’s lock room. He had looked inside a few minutes ago and noticed she was passed out in one of the chairs. Ken was still out in the ring and wouldn’t come back for another five minutes. Perfect time for him, looking around he placed his hand on the door knob and turned it slowly.
Ken threw the towel over his head as he walked quickly back to the locker room. He saw Austin behind the crowd smirking at him as he watched him. He was planning something but what that something was Ken didn’t know. As he rounded the last corner he slowed down, he scowled as he saw Austin hovering outside of the door. The bastard was trying to sneak into the locker room. Ken threw the towel down, as he saw Austin slowly opened the door. Growling he ran toward him just as he swung open the door he tackled him to the ground.
“What the?” Shae said quickly as she was trying to wake up she saw Austin at the door and was about to say something but then saw someone tackle him to the ground. Slowly she pushed herself out of the chair and walked as fast as she could toward the fight she could hear. “Ken!”
“If you even dare--” He said fiercely as he choked Austin his eyes flaring.
“Ken!” She said trying to get him off.
The commotion attracted half of the locker room, Shae stood back as two of Kens friends had to pull him away from Austin. He was looking at him crazily as Austin tried to get up without seeming like he was hurt. Straightening his shirt he smirked at Ken before winking at Shae before walking off.
“I’m fine,” Ken said trying to get his arms free of his friends. “Get off me.”
“Ken,” Shae said quietly as the hall cleared, she looked back at Aries before quickly looking at Ken. “What was that all about?” She cupped his face in her hands as she tried to calm him down.
“I was—he was--” He looked down at her as he hugged her tightly. “I need to control my temper.”
“No you need to let this go,” She said holding him tightly despite the fact he was covered in sweat. “He’s not going to do anything to me, babe you have to realize that.”
“You say he won’t,” He said holding her at arms length looking at her seriously “But you have to know he’s going to try. I mean he thinks the baby is his! I just,” He drifted off as a smirk came across his lips.
“Ken, sweetie what’s wrong?” Shae asked quickly shaking him a bit.
“I just thought of something, something different then what I thought of before,” He snapped out of it as he looked down at her quickly. “Quick we have to hurry back to the hotel.”
“Ken you haven’t even changed! Sweetie you need to take a shower!” Shae said rushing into the locker room behind him as he moved around throwing things into random bags and throwing them on the table. “Ken slow down!”
“What?” He asked as he looked at her quickly throwing on a shirt.
“Please Ken,” She said looking at him worried as she clutched at her stomach.
“What’s wrong?” He asked quickly rushing to her. “Are you okay?”
“Just a little dizzy,” She said quietly as she lost her balance and fell against the wall. “Shae! Shae! Babe what’s wrong are you okay?”
Ken’s heart raced as Shae fainted in front of him; she was laying out of the floor looking dead. He didn’t know what to do, after a few seconds he ran out of the locker room and ran off to get the trainer.
“She’s exhausted,” She heard someone said quietly “How has she been sleeping? Eating?”
“She’s been fine, taking her vitamins, trying to eat right aside from her cravings, I don’t know what happened. It has been a stressful day for her,”
She heard Ken’s voice filled with worry.
“It’s gotta be the stress, just let her rest make sure she eats and drinks lots of fluids, she’ll be fine in the morning,” The second voice said.
Shae slowly opened her eyes as she looked around the room. Some how she had gotten back to the hotel room which she didn’t remember how, the last thing she remembered was being in the locker room looking at Ken. She tried to keep her eyes open but was over come with exhaustion. She groaned.
“Shae,” Ken said quickly rushing to her side. “You passed out.”
“What?”
“The trainer said it was from exhaustion, I’m blaming Austin,” Ken said spitefully.
“I’m fine okay,” She said groggily smiling as her eyes closed again. “But I am very tired.”
“Go to sleep babe,” Ken said brushing back her hair.
“Wait,” She said shooting her eyes open “The baby?”
“Fine,” Ken said rubbing her stomach lightly “You go to sleep you’ve been out for a few hours it’s about seven o’clock so just get some rest please.” He smiled as he moved off the bed.
“Don’t leave me,” She said catching his hand eyes going wide “Please stay with me, till I go to sleep.”
“Of course,” He smiled as he sat on the edge of the bed brushing back her bangs as she quietly closed her eyes and tried to go off to sleep.
Ken waited till she was sound asleep before he moved from the side of the bed. Grabbing one of the electronic keys off of the entertainment center and with one last look at Shae he walked out of the room. He was on a mission and that mission could hurt everything that he has worked for. Shae being safe, the baby being protected and Austin staying far far away from her, was all he wanted and he was hoping that this would work. He was going to try to use reverse psychology on him, telling him a bunch of lies that he wanted to hear and hoped that he would believe it.
Slowly he walked down the hall way at the end of the hall was Austin’s room. He stood outside the door contemplating the idea and the numerous ways it could backfire right in his face. All he could think about was Austin using this to his advantage to take Shae and the baby away from Ken. Ken already knew what Austin did to her, and that the baby could be his but in no way did she feel anything for him. As she constantly reassured Ken, he was the one she loved and would always love. Taking a deep breath he knocked on his door.
“Coming,” He heard Austin’s annoyed voice yell. The door flung open as Aries glared at him “What do you want?”
“I’ve come to talk Austin,” Ken said quietly.
“Really about what?” He snapped leaning on the door frame.
“Look I’m sorry about what happened at the arena Austin. Before I went out to the ring, Shae told me something I wasn’t happy about, she confessed to me about everything,” Ken said convincingly.
“Everything?” Austin said slowly smirking.
“Yes, she said that the baby wasn’t mine. That it is yours. She’s just lying to you because she doesn’t know how to tell you the truth. The whole truth,”
“Which is?” Austin asked hopefully.
“I promised I wouldn’t tell you,” Ken said hanging his head “But I’m willing to help. I give up Austin you win. You were right before Shae never loved me, she was just using me.”
“I’m sorry you had to get into the middle of this Ken,” Austin said remorsefully as he smirked to himself. “I want to see her.”
“No!” Ken said loudly as Austin looked at him strangely. “I mean no, no she doesn’t know I’m talking to you. We have to, you know, plan this out. We’ll work it out. Work something out so we can get her to admit the truth to you.”
“Can’t wait,” He smiled.
“Well I should be heading back to my room now. Long day tomorrow,” Ken waved as he started to walk away.
“Anderson wait!” Austin yelled at, Ken shivered before slowly turning around.
“Yeah?”
“Are you fucking her?” He smirked as Ken’s breath was knocked out of him by the question. All he could do was muster up a smirk and a nod “She’s great isn’t she? I think she likes to be dominated.”
“Yes,” Ken said trying to break the topic becoming sick to his stomach as Austin was basically saying what he had done to her. “It’s nice. But I’ve got work to do.”
“Oh yes go on, we’ll talk about that later,” He winked before shutting his door.
Ken shivered as he walked back toward his and Shae’s room. He couldn’t believe what he had just done and what he had been told. It always amazed that that it seemed like he was the only one that believed Shae when she told people Austin had raped her. Shaking his head he opened the door and quietly shut it behind him.
The next morning Ken woke up before Shae. He wanted to let her sleep as much as she wanted to in order to keep up her strength. The doctors had already threatened her with bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy and she never wanted that. Ken wanted to surprise her with breakfast in bed. Throwing on a pair of shorts and a shirt he left the room quietly to go down to the hotel restaurant to order breakfast for two.
After ordering and waiting for fifteen minutes he and a waiter carried up the meal to his room. Tipping the waiter after he left the food on the table he smiled as Shae slept quietly wrapped in the covers. As he decorated the table he made sure that she didn’t wake. After a few minutes the table was set, slowly he walked over to the bed and sat down. Rubbing her bangs from her eyes she groaned as her eyes fluttered open.
“Ken,” She smiled as she hugged him tightly.
“What’s wrong?” He asked holding onto her. “You looked like you were sleeping fine.”
“I’ve always been a dead sleeper,” She said as she still held onto him.
“What was the dream?” He asked trying to comfort her.
“It was Austin,” She said breaking away from him as he rubbed away the tears. “He was—he was. Oh god Ken.”
“Shush, shush, its okay,” Ken said kissing the side of her head as he held onto her. It was near the date when Austin took it a step to far and she always had dreams leading up to it. He should’ve remembered he couldn’t believe that he didn’t remember. “I had this whole romantic morning planned; I’m stupid for not realizing something was wrong.”
“No,” She smiled weakly pulling away from him looking quickly at the table “I’m not going to let him ruin our lives.”
“Shae there is something I have to tell you,” Ken said guiltily.
“What?” She asked quickly.
“Last night after you had gone back to sleep I went to go talk to Austin,” He said slowly.
“Ken,” She said looking confused.
“I thought I had the perfect excuse for Austin to leave us alone. I figured this would be our one chance to get him off of our backs,” He said cupping her face in his hands as he looked her in the eyes. “I think I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life.”
Austin lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling. He hadn’t really gotten any sleep after Ken had visited him the night before. It wasn’t what he was expecting but it couldn’t have made him happier. All he wanted in the world was Shae he loved her, even if she didn’t love him he didn’t care he wanted her. He wanted to be with her and their baby. Except Ken was in his way, Ken had told him last night that he didn’t matter anymore and that Shae never loved him. But there was something in his eye that made Austin second guess was the younger man was saying to him.
He was stirred from his thoughts as he heard his phone beep. Sighing he quickly sat up and grabbed the phone off of the small table and flipped it open. He had a new text message from Alex, he was in town. Austin smiled as he dialed his friend’s phone number after waiting for a few rings Alex picked up.
“Austin,” Alex said happily into the phone. “What’s up? I wasn’t sure if you were still around!”
“I’m here for two more days,” Austin said yawning. “Hey I’ll be in the hotel all day why don’t you come up and see me? It’s been forever and we’ve got a
lot to talk about.”
“Yeah man, I’m about three block from there I’ll be there in fifteen minutes,” Alex said as Austin nodded.
“Great, I’m in room three-oh-four.” Austin said quickly “I’ll see you in a bit. Bye.” He quickly hung up the phone and smiled down at it. He couldn’t
help but think how all this was about to play out.
“It’s great to see you man,” Alex smiled leaning back in the chair that he dragged next to the bed. Propping his feet up on the other bed he smiled at his friend. “So what’s been happening in the nine months since I’ve last seen you?”
“I could be a Dad by now for all you know,” Austin winked as Alex laughed.
“Good one, you as a Dad that’ll be the day. The infamous Austin Aries being tied down by a wife and kid,” Alex said brightly as he leaned back in the chair. “Ah man, speaking of tied down how’s it going with what’s-her-face-uh Shae?”
“Things aren’t really going with me and Shae, we’ve hit a bit of a road block,” Austin said shrugging. “Nothing I can’t over come. In fact I should be getting over it soon.”
“You leave her at home?” Alex asked quickly.
“Actually no,” He said laughing. “She’s down the hall.”
"Two different rooms?” Alex asked slowly as Austin shook his head. “Oh.”
“We broke up about six months ago,” Austin said slowly as Alex appeared shocked “We had some problems, I was willing to give it a shot but she refused to so we broke it off.”
“And why is she down the hall?” Alex wondered.
“She’s dating Ken,”
“Anderson?”
“That’s the one,” Austin sighed running his hand through his short hair. “I never thought she would go for someone like him.”
“It seems like he kinda stole her from you. How long have they been dating?” Alex asked quickly.
“Six months,” Austin said seriously. “It seemed like after I broke it off with her she went crawling to Anderson. I never know what to say to them when I see them especially considering--”
“Considering?”
“She’s pregnant.”
“Are we feeling better?” Ken smiled as he leaned on the door frame to the bathroom. Shae was putting up her hair after spending a long time soaking in the tub.
“Much,” She smiled back as Ken walked up behind her.
“Do you want to talk about—what I said?”
“Ken,” She sighed shaking her head. Looking into the mirror she frowned at him as he stood quietly behind her. “I don’t know what to say to you about that. It seemed like a good idea but it won’t go off right. You should’ve known that. Now Austin,” She paused taking a deep breath “Now Austin is going to be relentless in getting me back. We’ve got two more days left with him. And believe me he will try to get me back in those two days.”
“Shae I’m sorry,” He said quickly as she walked out of the bathroom. “How many more times do I have to say that?”
“I don’t want you to say it anymore,” She sighed sitting down on the bed
slowly. “The sooner we get out of here the better.”
“We have to head to the show soon aren’t you coming?” Ken asked quickly as he
sat on the foot of the bed.
“I’m exhausted, do I have to go?”
“I want you near me,” He said rubbing her leg lightly “I want you safe.”
“I am safe silly,” She laughed quietly as she rested her hands on her stomach “Austin can’t get me in our hotel room. He’d have to break down the door. I doubt he’s strong enough to do that. Although I wouldn’t under estimate Austin at this moment,” She sighed closing her eyes taking a deep breath.
“Babe you okay?” Ken asked quickly rushing to her side, holding her hand tightly and brushing back her hair.
“Yes, just some little pains,” She said quickly holding her eyes closed as Ken looked at her worriedly. “I’m gonna be okay don’t worry.”
“You’re still coming right?” He asked as he kissed her lightly.
“Of course,” She said through a forced smile “Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
“Would you like anything?” He asked quickly.
“Ice,” She smiled brightly.
Austin walked slowly in the back of the arena looking for Ken. Alex was following closely behind him. They both had thought of a way to confront Ken and a threat to make him leave Shae and have her be with the father of her child. He was completely lost in his thoughts and didn’t even notice when they approached Ken’s locker room. Nor did he notice Ken leaving to go to his match. Alex did notice however and when Ken turned the corner he held out his arm in front of Austin causing him to stop abruptly.
“What are you doing?” Austin asked irritably.
“Didn’t you see who just left his locker room?” Alex smiled.
“Am I supposed to care?” He asked rolling his eyes.
“Yes, considering it was Ken who just left his locker room. And guaranteed Shae is sitting in that locker room all by herself,” Alex grinned.
“Oh, perfect,” Austin smirked quickly walking toward the only shut door in the hallway. He stood there for a moment savoring the thought about what he was going to do. Smirking he knocked on the door.
“Ken I didn’t think you’d—oh dear,” Shae said opening the door her bright smile turning to a frown and a look of concern crossed her face. “Austin—Alex what are you two doing here?”
“I came to talk,” Austin said pushing the door open all the way causing Shae to stumble backward. Alex followed behind him lightly shutting the door. Swallowing hard Shae backed herself against the wall. “Don’t you want to talk to the love of your life?”
“Ken’s out in the ring,” She said her mouth going dry “It’s kinda hard to talk to him.”
“Don’t lie,” Austin snapped taking a step closer to her. “Ken told me how you really felt there is no need to cover it up anymore you know c’mon tell me.”
“There is nothing I have to tell you,” She said quietly “Just leave you don’t belong here.”
“I belong with the mother of my child, how hard is that to understand?” Austin smirked.
“Go find her then you aren’t talking to her,” She said quickly “Now just leave! Ken is the father of this baby! Get it through your thick skull will you! Now get out!”
“TELL THE TRUTH!” Austin yelled at her as she trembled. She groaned clutching at her stomach as she let out a gasp.
“Austin,” Alex said trying to calm his friend down once he noticed something was wrong.
“Who is the father?”
“AUSTIN!” Alex said quickly “Something is wrong.”
“Shae, what’s wrong?” Austin asked worriedly.
“I think my water just broke,” She said quietly looking at up him.
