only own the story and Camille. Characters used in this story some are under
contract with WWE, TNA or no one at all. Song lyrics belong to Destiny’s Child.
Camille sat and looked out the window. She had watched Shawn drive
off from that same spot three hours ago. He left her without saying a word. She
read his eyes and knew exactly what he was thinking. When he was with her,
there were no strings attached it was just Cammy and
Shawn. He did not have to worry about impressing her; she knew his good
qualities. Then he went back to the WWF. Camille was hurt because for seven
months she didn’t see or hear from him. Then he just showed up. How could he
just leave her?
Shawn drove on the interstate and shook his head. Camille was
something to him. More than a hobby, unlike the other girls he had dated. He
had met Camille at a party in
It's over and
done
but the
heartache lives on inside
and
who's the one you're clinging to
instead
of me tonight?
Camille walked upstairs and cut the
lights off downstairs as she went. For seven months she had held on to the hope
that Shawn was just caught up with being back. That he wasn’t purposely
ignoring her. She was proven wrong tonight. Shawn was the first guy she had
committed to seriously. Hell she would have given up all she had for him. She
almost did. Camille sighed as she remembered the nights she would watch him and
cringed. Then the one time her greatest fear happened. She hated that it
happened but her secret desire was for them to settle down and really commit to
each other. It worked for a year and two months. Then Vince called and wanted
him as the commissioner. Camille was happy for him. She knew that he missed his
friends and more importantly wrestling. She walked into the bathroom and ran
some bath water. The love he had for wrestling never compared the love he had
for her.
Shawn arrived at the arena and was
lost in thought. “Shawn, where’s Camille? I thought you left to go get her?”
Hunter questioned as Shawn looked at him. He couldn’t express what he felt. He
couldn’t explain why he had left with out saying a word. Shawn sighed and shook
his head. “She’s pregnant. She didn’t have the decency to call and tell me.”
Shawn said as Hunter looked at him questionably. “So you had the decency to
call and talk with her? Shawn, this is the first time you have actually been
home in close to seven months. Imagine what she had gone through. Not to
mention that if she still talks to people what she has heard.” Hunter said as
Shawn looked at him. “Damn it, all I’m saying is all she had to do was call and
tell me.” Shawn said as they walked to the dressing room. “Would you have gone
to her?” Hunter asked as Shawn lay on the couch. “Yes, I would have dropped
everything. I would have brought her with me. Hell I have missed her. Hunter,
this is different than before. I had so much free time and now, I can’t
remember who I am had the time.” Shawn said as Hunter nodded. “I am glad you
can tell me this but Cammy is the one who needs to
hear this.” Hunter said as he moved to get ready.
And where are
you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my
pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a
river that leads to your ocean
You never see
me fall apart
Camille debated on watching
wrestling. She did not want to torment herself by seeing what had walked out on
her six hours ago. She reached into her CD case and picked out CDs to help her
take her mind off of Shawn. She moved to the couch and reached for the portable
one for the baby. She always played classical for him. It eased him. Camille
started to cry as she realized that she had so much to tell Shawn. Just as she
had got comfortable with her book, the phone rang. Camille sighed and refused
to answer it. However curiosity got the best of her and she at least had to
glance at the caller id. She picked up as she noticed it was Hunter’s cell
phone. “Hello?” Camille said as Hunter laughed. “I see you still screen your
calls. How are you?” Camille shook her head. “Hemsley why do
you insist on mindless formalities. I am good and you?”
Hunter smiled, as he heard her
laugh. Camille was someone he considered a friend and a confidant more
importantly. He entrusted more to her than anyone else. He hoped that she felt
the same way. “I am okay… I was looking forward to seeing you. So you can
imagine how disappointed I was when Shawn arrived without you.” Hunter
responded as he heard Camille exhale. “I am sorry about that but you know where
I live. I mean that is if Stephanie clears it for you to visit me.” Camille
answered as Hunter could not help but laugh. “So, how is the baby?”
“He is good, he is due anyday now.”
Camille said as she realized Hunter probably had forgotten to breath. “Does
Shawn know this?” Hunter questioned as Kevin walked in the room. “He didn’t
stay long enough to find out anything.” Camille said. “He has a lot on him
and…” Hunter paused as Camille exhaled sharply. “Hunter, I know you are…”
Camille paused as she felt a sharp pain, “I know you mean well but if Shawn
can’t grow up then I don’t know where we stand.” Hunter looked at Kevin as
Camille hung up the phone. “Kev,
how do you know when a woman is in labor?” Hunter asked as Kevin looked
at him. “She is normally screaming everything in the book and in a lot of
pain.” Kevin said as he laced up his boots. “No, like the
beginning stages.” Hunter specified as Kevin nodded. “Umm, she really
does not say much. It is weird because she really can’t. Contractions are
starting and water breaking. It is important to make sure someone is there you
know to observe things.” Kevin said as Hunter left to find Shawn.
In the words
of a broken heart
It's just
emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in
sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you
don't come back
Come home to
me, darling
Don't you know
there's nobody left in this world
to hold
me tight
Don't cha know
there's nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight,
goodnight
Shawn sat and watched the show. He
had spoken his peace for the evening. It was taking all he had not to leave and
go to Camille. He wanted to know how far along she was. What she or they were having. He wanted to make amends for so much. “Shawn!”
Hunter said out of breath. “Hunter, what’s up with you?” Shawn asked. “I just …
talked with Cammy.” Hunter said as he paused to
regain his composure. “What’s wrong with Cammy?”
Shawn asked as Hunter tried to talk. “She’s due anyday
with a boy and I think she may be going into labor.” Hunter said as Shawn stood
up. “How long ago did you talk with her?” Shawn questioned. “About 10 minutes
ago, I just don’t want something to happen to her.” Hunter said as Shawn turned
to get his stuff and leave. “Neither do I!”
Camille sat and timed her
contractions. Her water broke luckily in the bathroom. So far her last
contraction happened 45 minutes ago. She debated calling Shawn. Just then a
contraction hit her. She rubbed her stomach and reached for the phone. Camille
dialed the number and waited. “Damn Nextel!” She said as she left a message.
She looked for Hunter’s cell number and called it. “Hello?” Kevin said as
Camille thought for a moment. “Kevin, hey it is Cammy,
where’s Hunter?” “He is in the ring, where are you? I thought you were going to
be here tonight.” Kevin questioned. “It’s a long story. Have you seen Shawn?”
Camille asked as she rubbed her tummy. “Yeah, he left out of her like a bat out
of hell. I think he was on his way to see you.” Kevin said as Camille scratched
her head. “How did he know I was in labor though?” “Who were you talking to
before?” Kevin asked as Camille nodded. “I am going to let you go. Concentrate
on your breathing and call back if you need anything.” Kevin said as he hung
up.
I'm there at
your side,
I'm part of
all the things you are
But you've got
a part of someone else
You've got to
find your shining star
Shawn drove and tried to remain
calm. Not only was Camille in labor but she was having a boy. She was having
him a son. Shawn said a silent prayer that things remained cool until he got
there. He had faith in Camille. She was a smart girl. He noticed the thunder
sounds and glanced to see if it was lightning. Camille hated lightning. Shawn
picked up his phone and tried to call her. “Damn Nextel!” He said as he
realized he was not in area. Shawn thought of the last time that he and Camille
was together. It suddenly hit him that she was at least two at that point.
Shawn sighed as he remembered that she didn’t want him to go to back but it was
what he needed. Shawn was too stupid to see that she was what he needed.
Camille moved to the floor and
concentrated on her breathing. Her contractions were thirty minutes apart. She
was okay about getting to the hospital. She had some time. Then the lightning
flashed. She jumped and felt another contraction. She glanced at her stopwatch
and noticed thirteen minutes. As she reached to call to at least go to the
hospital the lights kicked off. “Damnit,
why me?” Camille said aloud as she moved to light some candles. Camille
hated the darkness and the noises. Hell she had the lightning more. She tried
to tune the lightning and thunder out but was not successful. Camille cried as
she needed Shawn there. Where was he?
And where are
you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my
pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a
river that leads to your ocean
You never see
me fall apart
Camille felt another contraction and did her breathing. She could
do this. She could, she had gone through nine months with carrying this child
and she could have it. Camille pulled the blanket out the couch. She was cold.
She heard the rainfall and concentrated on her breathing and coached herself.
She giggled as she maneuvered to reached down and feel how dilated she was. Too
bad there was not an obstetrician that got caught in the storm and needed rest.
Camille noticed the headlights and instantly knew she was not that lucky. She
heard the footsteps and knew it was Shawn.
“Camille, are you okay?” Shawn asked as Camille nodded. “As good as
I can be. Can you check to see how dilated I am?” Camille asked as Shawn nodded
and moved between her legs. “If you can get past my cervix with your hand then
I need to think about pushing and stuff.” Camille said as Shawn tested. “Nope,
I can’t get past it. How far apart are your contractions?” Shawn asked. “Last
one was ten minutes ago.” Camille said as she felt Shawn massaged her legs.
“It’s going to be okay.” Shawn said as Camille started to cry.
In the words

It's just
emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in

But if you
don't come back

me, darling
Don’t you know

“Sweetie, why are you crying?”
Shawn asked as Camille sniffled. “I am just thinking that after tonight I will
hardly see you.” Camille said as Shawn sat back on his butt. He propped up on
his knees and thought for a moment. He wanted to promise that he would be there
for her and the baby, but he was not sure if that was what she really wanted to
hear. “You know what just ignore me. I am just so damn emotion with the baby
and all.” Camille said as she felt another contraction. She looked at the watch
and swallowed hard. “Shawn, the contractions are five minutes apart.” Camille
said as Shawn moved back to his position. “Is it time for you to start
pushing?” Shawn asked as he wished he watched those Baby Stories on TLC.
Camille was about to answer as she
noticed the lights. “Who is that?” Camille asked as Shawn walked to the window
and noticed the rental car. “It’s Hunter and Kevin.” Shawn said as he walked
out to greet them. “Is she okay?” Hunter asked as Shawn noticed they had
someone else with them. “Yeah, her contractions are five minutes apart. Who is
that?” Shawn asked as he saw the man. “Dr. Williams, normally he only does
orthopedic things but he also can do the baby thing as well.” Kevin said as
Camille screamed. The four men rushed in the house and Dr. Williams made formal
introductions. Kevin took Shawn into the kitchen. Hunter moved to comfort
Camille.
“How are you?” Kevin asked as he
looked in her refrigerator. “I am overwhelmed. I mean damn, she is in there
having my son.” Shawn answered as he heard Hunter coaching Camille. “Don’t
worry… Hunter only knows that stuff because of his sister.” Kevin said as Shawn
looked out the window. “Kev, I can’t leave her like
this. I just can’t leave her with my child and live my life like it’s not the
different.” Shawn admitted as Kevin sat down. “I can’t tell you what to do. But
if you truly care for her, then you will stand by her. If you are unsure, then
take the next six weeks to figure it out. Don’t put her through unneed stress.” Kevin said as Hunter entered the kitchen.
“Shawn, she needs you.” Hunter said as Shawn walked to the living room.
And where are
you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my
pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a
river that leads to your ocean
You never see
me fall apart
Camille exhaled as she heard Tomas cry. She loved him more than
life itself. Tomas Camden was what she lived for these days. For the past five
weeks, Shawn called to check on things. He even had Taker and
Shawn had worked out having the next week off. He wanted to spend
time with Camille and Tomas. Taker and Austin said things were cool. Tomas was
a mild mannered baby. You hardly knew that he was there. More importantly,
Camille was doing well. She wasn’t feeling anything crazy. No baby
blues…anything. She was a proud mother of a precious little boy. Shawn had
followed Kevin’s advice and thought about Camille. They had been together too
long for him to chalk it up. He tried not calling or thinking about her but it
didn’t work. He could tell by the sound of her voice that she missed him, too.
He pulled up in the driveway and smiled. This was it.
In the words

It's just
emotion that's taken me over
Caught up in
sorrow, lost in my soul
But if you

Shawn opened the door and noticed
Camille sleep in the rocking chair. Tomas was still feeding steadily at her
breast. He eased quietly in the house. Carefully not to wake Cammy because she looked so peaceful. Shawn noticed
that Tomas was now sucking at his fingers and gently took him from Camille’s
arms. He walked to sit with him on the couch. Shawn placed him in his lap and
looked at him. He noticed that his hair color was going to be a mystery. He had
a mixed of their eyes. Shawn smiled at the fact Tomas has Cammy’s
lips. He picked him up and kissed him. He placed Tomas on his shoulder to burp
him. Tomas sighed and fell asleep. Shawn moved quietly and laid him in the
bassinet. He then focused his attention on Camille.
Shawn gently pulled her up from the
chair. He smiled as he eased her onto the couch. Shawn noticed her stretch and lay down. He
placed a blanket over her and moved to the kitchen. Shawn pushed the bassinet
into the kitchen. He didn’t want Tomas to wake Camille. She needed her rest.
Shawn opened the refrigerator and pulled out the steaks. Camille was not much
of a steak lover until they got together. He washed and wrapped the potatoes. He
placed them in the oven and checked on Tomas. He was stretching so much that
Shawn was convinced he was growing. Shawn smiled as he reached for the
vegetables to make a salad. Camille deserved this special night she deserved it
all.
Camille woke up and smiled. Tomas
had allowed her to get in a good nap before she tackled making dinner. As she
sat up, she realized the bassinet was gone. She began to panic until she heard
a distinct Tomas noise come from the kitchen. Camille walked to the kitchen and
noticed Shawn holding him. She smiled as Shawn had him looking at the window
and showing him things. Shawn turned to place Tomas down as he saw Camille.
“You look rested.” Shawn joked as he placed Tomas in her arms. “I feel little
rested thanks. Now, I will be able to handle those
