~*~*~After weeks of constant competition. After matched and brawls week in and week out. After taking the World Title and proving himself to be amongst the elite in nCw. All of that in the past now, Lance finally gets a break. For one week he will feel the perks that come with being the World Heavyweight Champion. He will be at Collision, he will even be at Suspense, however he does not have to take the ring. It is a good time for The Champ to get some rest and relaxation while preparing for his upcoming World title defense and he can even get in some scouting for his most likely opponents. Not to mention the fact that he can do some scouting for No Warning Shots.~*~*~
~*~*~The scene opens upon the office room where Lance, Manson and Burning had their meeting earlier this week. Lance is dressed in a navy blue suit. There is a knock on the door and Matthew and Cassandra walk into the room. Cassandra is wearing a red blouse and a plaid skirt. Matthew is wearing blue jeans and a Metallica t-shirt. The two take a seat at the table and look in Lance's direction. Lance is smiling from ear to ear.~*~*~
Lance: So? What did you think? Was it worth the wait?
Matt: Well, it was spectacular, it took everyone by surprise, but this is so unlike you. All that I ever hear you say is that you don't play well with others. You talk about how you can't trust anyone after what Reckless Jack did to you back in NWA, and we all remember what you did with JJ Biggs when you two teamed up here in nCw. So, what gives man?
Lance: I have a new lease on life Matt. There are three main reasons. The first was the cheers of the fans, I cannot lie. I loved to hear them cheer for me again, and while I know that they come and go with the wind, and that I will not suck up to them, I am happy to have them on my side again, it is an adrenaline rush. Secondly, with the rise of The Empire I know that things will get dicey around here, and one thing will always be alive for me, that is my love for fairness in this business. Lastly, let's be honest, I am the champion, and it is never a bad thing to have people watching your back. This business is a brutal one, and with people like the Burning, and Jack Manson on my side I am better off. Not to mention the fans.
~*~*~Matt rolls his eyes~*~*~
Matt: There you go again with the fans. I guess if you want to run on emotions like adrenaline, I really cannot stop you. All that I can hope is that you don't end up like you did in that Triple Chairshot challenge. Being a victim of your emotions.
Lance: Emotions are not a bad thing Matt. I honestly believe that I have a perfect balance in my life right now. In that ring I am now at perfect zen between skill, ability and emotion. I have had the time to balance it all out, and since Cassandra and I got back together six months ago, and since we have been visibly back together, I have realized how important my feelings are.
~*~*~Matt sighs and puts his head in his hands.~*~*~
Cassandra: I am glad that you said that Lance. There is something that I have been wanting to tell you, but Matt told me to wait until the right time.
~*~*~Matt picks his head up and looks over at Cassandra and shakes his head.~*~*~
Lance: What's that sweetheart?
~*~*~Cassandra looks over at Matt and sees him shaking his head.~*~*~
Cassandra: Why not Matt? He needs to know, and this is the best time. He has no match this week. It will give him time to process all of this.
Matt: I just don't think that this is a wise time. You should wait until after the pay per view. He needs to have his A Game.
Lance: Oh no you don't. Now that you have both said this much I demand that you tell me. I am the boss around here and I can handle anything. Don't hold out on me.
Matt: Are you sure that you want to know? You are asking for a real storm of information here. This is going to change a lot for you.
Lance: Yes. I am absolutely sure.
~*~*~Matt sighs and then waves his hand at Cassandra as if telling her that she can go ahead.~*~*~
Cassandra: Darling? This is really going to make some huge changes in our lives. Do you love me?
Lance: Of course I do. Why do you think I fought so hard for you when you were nearing that wedding of yours? I would have gone through hell and back for you. I have known for years that you are the woman for me, and that I want to one day make a family with you.
~*~*~Matt emits a nervous laugh.~*~*~
Lance: What is funny?
Cassandra: Well, it is kind of ironic that you would say such a thing is all Lance. You see, what I want to tell you is that I am pregnant...pregnant with your child.
~*~*~There is a few seconds of silence as Matt and Cassandra look at Lance waiting for his reaction. Suddenly Lance breaks the silence by slamming his hand down HARD on the table. He gets up and kicks his chair against the wall and is visibly upset. He puts his head in his hands as he paces a few times.~*~*~
Cassandra: Lance...I didn't think that you would react like this. I would have told you sooner if I had have known that you would react this way...I would have told you sooner and we could have got an abort...
Lance: This is not about you sweety, and you know that I am against that anyways, even if it was an option. This anger is for someone else in this room.
~*~*~Lance glares over at Matt as he walks over to beside Matt's chair.~*~*~
Lance: YOU! YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR HOW LONG THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE A CHILD? AND YOU KEPT IT A SECRET FROM ME, AND FOR WHAT? SO THAT I COULD FOCUS ON THIS WRESTLING? LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THE TITLE, THE SPORT OR YOUR PAYCHECK. MATT, GET OUT OF THIS ROOM, GO HOME, AND DO NOT CALL ME. I WILL CALL YOU WHEN I AM GOOD AND READY, UNTIL THEN, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! YOU ARE SUSPENDED AS MY MANAGER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
~*~*~Matt looks like he will protest, but thinks better of it and walks out of the room. Lance then turns around and opens his arms as Cassandra runs into them. Lance carefully picks her up and spins her around.~*~*~
Lance: How far along are you hun?
Cassandra: Actually, about five months. I have been waiting for results to come back on the paternity test. I wanted to make sure that this child was yours, and baby it is, we are going to have a baby.
Lance: This is the most amazing news that I have ever gotten. I cannot wait. I have dreamed of this moment since the moment that I met you, and it is finally happening.
Cassandra: I know! I don't want to rain on your parade, but try not to be too hard on Matt. He was just trying to watch out for you. He knew how you would react to this, and the last thing that he wants to do is put you in harm's way.
Lance: I know. I shouldn't have freaked out like I did. But he will understand. I just need to calm down, I will catch him before he leaves. He's been with me through everything. Through my wins and my losses, through my joy and my depression, through my love and my heartbreak. He has been through so much with me that I can't stay mad at him. He will be the best man at our wedding one day, and the godfather to this baby. Let's go celebrate sweetheart. I'm taking you out for dinner tonight. Make sure that you eat enough for the both of you.
~*~*~The two laugh as they walk out of the room hand in hand and the scene fades to black.~*~*~
~*~*~What will a baby in Lance's life mean? What will the news and the emotions do to him? A soft side in our champion? Who knew?~*~*~
