Joanie lay awake in her bed thinking about her baby. The baby she had given away. How she spent so many sleepness nights thinking about her. She didn't even get a good glimpse of her before she was taken away. Paul was so devastated. Even though he was younger than her, he felt he could handle being a father to his child. But her mind was already made up. This baby was going up for adoption. He was so mad at her.... how could she give away their child like a sack of potatoes? And act like it meant nothing to her? 

Joanie sighed as she thought about this. Just then Sean started to stir in his sleep. She quickly closed her eyes and faked to be sleep. She couldn't bare to look in his eyes or talk to him when she thought about this. It only reminded her more of what she did.

Eventually, she fell asleep.

>>>>>>>>>>

Paul was asleep until he heard a soft cry. He got up and walked over to Krystal's crib where she was reaching her arms out to him. 

He smiled at her and picked her up. His little baby girl, Krystal Lynn Levesque. She didn't have a mother, he was a single parent. Sometimes it got rough for him, but he had his baby, and that was all that mattered.

She took after her mother's side largely. She had blondish brown hair, which was from Paul and bluish green eyes like her mother. She was only a few months(or weeks) old, but Paul could tell she would grow up to look more like her than him. Actually, she hardly resembled Paul at all. Since the mother was a natural blonde, she could have easily inherited that from her and not him.

Paul rocked the small child to sleep as he layed on his bed, and eventually fell asleep himself.

Paul awoke to his phone ringing. He groaned then placed Krys on the bed then reached over to answer it.

"Huh?" he answered sleepily.

"Well damn Paul, that's a nice way to answer your phone." laughed Stephanie. "You are so not a morning person."

"Shut up." he mumbled. "So, what's up with you?"

"Oh nothing, I am bored out of my damn mind and I wanna come over." she said.

"Uh, no you can't." he said quickly.

"Why not?" she asked, surprised at his quick defense.

"Cause, Cause Joanie's coming over." he said. But he quickly regretted saying that.

"I thought the two of you broke up since she decided to give up the baby?" she asked confused.

"Umm, we did. But we need to discuss something. And she still needs to move some more of her shit out." he said.

"Oh, well that's cool. try not to throw her annoying ass out a window." she said.

"I am not promising anything. But I'll try to try." he laughed.

"Whatever Paul." she laughed. "Go wash your ass, when I come over later I don't want you to smell like you haven't bathed in months." she giggled.

"You are so hyper today. What did I tell you about eating pixy stix for brekfast huh?" he asked as he shook his head.

"I'm not eating pixy stix." she mumbled. She couldn't talk right because of the pixy stick in her mouth.

"Whatever Steph, bye. And I bathe twice every day just so you know."

"Bye." she laughed and then hung up.

Paul placed the baby monitor near Krys's crib then took the other into the bathroom so he could hear her.

About twenty minutes later he came out dressed.

Krys had just started balling up her fists ready to cry just before she saw her daddy.

She babbled to him as he picked her up. He smiled at her as she began to pat his face with her approval.

"Hey baby, are you hungry?" he asked the 4 week (or month) old child.

"Bbbbbuuuffffff." came her response.

Paul just laughed and headed downstairs after he changed her to go and feed her.

Krystal was banging the spoon on the table as Paul just sat there and laughed at her since she was splattering the baby food all over her face.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Paul left Krys to her abuse of the highchair and went to go answer it.

Paul opened the door and said, "Steph, uh what are you doing here?"

Steph laughed, he was clearly shocked to see her. "I told you, I am bored."

"B B but" he stammered as she pushed past him and went in the house.

He needed to do something, so he caught up with her and picked her up. She laughed and said, "Paul, what the hell are you doing?"

He ran out the sliding back door with her and sat her outside by the pond.

"What are we doing out here?" she asked.

"It's beautiful Steph, just like you."

Stephanie felt butterflies in her stomach. She had waited so long for this moment.

Her and Paul stared at each other for a while. Paul started to lean in to kiss her. Stephanie simply closed her eyes and waited.

A few moments passed and she felt nothing. She opened her eyes slowly to see Paul waving at her from the other side of the door.

She got up and ran to it. She tried pulling it open, but it was locked.

She yelled at Paul from outside as he just laughed at her. Then he started to walk away.

"Paul Michael Levesque, don't you dare leave me out here ! I'm gonna kick your ass.. you just wait." she yelled.

Paul had ran in the kitchen while Steph was outside and took Krystal to her crib. She was tired from all of the mess she had made, so she was sleep anyway.

A couple minutes later Paul came back and opened the door.

Stephanie immediately began hitting him as he just tried to block them while he was laughing.

"So what was all that about?" she asked him.

"Oh that? I was just uh playing around, that's all" he covered.

8 months later

Paul Levesque was holding his beautiful baby girl in his arms for the first time in weeks. He had been on the road so much that he hadn't had a minute to spend with her. She was only a year old, so she couldn't really talk on the phone. Melissa, his live in nanny, would hold the phone to her ear while Paul would talk, but she hadn't learned to talk very well yet, and all she would say back was dada. He had just gotten back, and she had falen asleep in his arms while he read her a story. 

He wished he could take her with him when he went traveling, but no one could know about her, not even VInce. He was sure that if Vince knew, he would give him more time to spend with her, but if even one person were to find out, it would ruin everything.

"Sorry honey, but if your mother ever found out I had you, I would be in big trouble." He said to his sleeping daughter. Her mother had walked away from her when she was born, thinking that they had given her away for adaption., but he couldn't do it. He kept her all right. He kept her, and named her. 

"Krystal Lynne Levesque. What do you think about that name sweety? I hope you like it, cause your stuck with it." Paul got up and gently placed her in her crip. He watched her for awhile beofre going to talk to Melissa to see what his daughter has been up to over the weeks.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Joanie Laurer didn't know what to do. She was engaged to a man that she loved very much, but she had been keeping a very big secret from him, and she knew that he was going to be very mad when she told him what she had done. 

Just then Sean (a.k.a X-Pac) walked in. 

"Hey sweetie, whats up? You looked worryied." He said, going to sit next to his very soon to be wife. 

"I am." She said, simply.

"Ok, about what."

"I'm worried that you are going to hate me after I tell you what I did." She said not looking at him. 

"I could never hate you, not ever."

"Thats what you say now."

"Just try me then, and find out." Joanie got up and went to stand by the window, looking out and all the children playing out side in the street.

"Do you remember, a little over a year ago, when we first started getting close, and you comforted me that one night that I found out Paul was cheating on me?"

"How could I forget it baby, it was the starting point of our relationship."

"Well, I left Paul about 9 months later. Didn't you ever why I wated that long, or why I refused to see you for about 6 or 7 months?"

"Of course I did, but I thought that was all in the past. I didn't want to bring it up. I figured you just needed space. What are you getting out?"

"Well, there is one little thing I never told you, and I don't want to get married with secrets between us." Joanie turned around to look at Sean.

"That night, the one you remember so foundly, we conceived a baby. A baby that I passed of as Paul's and then gave up for adoption." She blurted out. Sean's mouth dropped open.

"Are you saying that I, that we, have a child and somebody else, some complete stranger is rasing it? Was it a boy or girl? Was it healthy? Did you even bother to ask these things? Why didn't you tell me? WHY?" He said, getting mad towards the end. Joanie just looked at him, to upset to even cry.

"It was a girl, and yes it was healty. I didn't think you would want her. I figured I would just give her up. I don't like kids, and you know it. I never wanted to have one. I most have just forgotten to take my pill that day. It was an accident."

"Thats just great. What about me Joanie? Didn't you ever think about me? I want to get to know my daughter, I want to raise her!"

"It's to late for that, I already gave her up."

"Like hell it's too late." Sean said, gabbing his jacket.

"Wait where are you going?" Joanie cryed, going after him.

"To find my daughter." He said, and slammened the door on his way out. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Paul went to find his nanny. He found her sitting in the living room watching T.V. while cleaning up after Krystal. Paul went to help her out. 

"So Malissa, tell whats new." He said while picking up toys. Krys had a lot, but he did try hard not to spoil her. 

"Well, Krys has been making excallent progress on her speaking, and she walks like a pro now. She can say lots of things, like dada, Mel, up, toy, and foo."

"Foo?" Paul said, giving her a confused look.

Melissa laughed. "Well, in her language it stands for food. For some reason she can't pronounce the d all that well."

"I'm just going to have to practice that with her tomorrow, won't I?"

"If I may ask, how long are you staying?" She asked. "Krys misses you alot."

"I miss her too. I should be here for a couple of days, because we are having Raw here. So I will be leaving Tuesday." Just when Melissa was about to say something, the door bell rang.

"I wonder who that could be?" He said as he got up to go and answer it. When he opened the door he was in for a shock.
