A week after the mayhem*

It's been a full week since everything went down, and everytime Travis wakes up it seems like it happened the night before.

He was reliving that fateful day, looking at Becky straight in her eyes and hearing her say those three words that ruined it all.

"I'm so sorry"

Ever since then he hasn't been the same. His mood was very different as his sister Katie could see the life slowly get sucked out of him from the emotional pain. She has yet to see him breakdown profusely, only one time and that's when he involved his daughter.

And the drama with his son isn't making this any better. Travis was having doubts of even seeing Jackson after hearing that he might not even be his own son.

With his name being so special to Travis, if it results to him not being the father then he's never seeing that boy again. He knows after raising him for over a year and a half that it could devastate Becky and the baby himself, but the emotional toll it's taking to him thinking that the memorial name went to waste.

Now whenever he would be thinking of the situation, Becky would always turn into Travis thinking of their little girl Alexis.

She has no idea what is going on, why her daddy wasn't home, or why mommy was always sad.

Her head must be spinning and he doesnt want her to worry since she's too little to be upset over this all.

With Travis's mind spinning, Becky would pop back up over and over; She couldn't leave his mind awake or even asleep.

His conscious would always be running around the idea that he was still madly in love with her. Dreams would always make him smile since they always were memories that involved her. Anything that him and Becky did during their six years being together, it would replay in his mind on a loop.

The good was now shadowing what was actually happening, and why this was all going down.

While he would be happy asleep, Travis would then wake up upset and feeling like a failure.

Monday morning*

Travis was still at his sister's house as she wouldn't let him leave and rent a hotel room like he suggested.

She figured him spending money on a awful hotel room would be pointless since he's always welcomed at her house.

He was also a big help with her son Benjamin, since she was a emergency trauma nurse she would get called out randomly; Travis would be there to watch his nephew while she goes to work.

She also wanted to have him at her house so she can keep an eye on him. Katie never knew her brother to actually do something when he was sad or depressed, but after this huge event she had no idea what could happen if he was left alone.

Now with WWE's side on the whole situation. No one in the higher ups or backstage know what is going on between Becky and Travis. Since the arrest, that's all they know about anything; and now Travis is currently suspended until further notice which is unknown.

He didn't care since he's starting to get these thoughts that the company is to blame. But that'll come back up whenever he has the meeting with them soon.

Tampa, eight o'clock in the morning*

Katie was now awake as she just watched her son get on the bus and head to school.

When she walked back in through the front door, there stood her brother just looking like hell.

Katie: Morning Trav.

Travis: ...

He just looked at her before walking into the bathroom across the guest room, she was now worried since he hasn't been himself lately.

Since Sunday and Mondays are her days off work, she had free time to make a big breakfest and try to get to the bottom of this.

10 minutes later*

Travis walked out in his sweats and a heavy sweatshirt, then rounded the corner and saw a tall blond sitting at the counter with his sister.

They both turned around and Charlotte stood up, walked over and gave Travis a hug. He didn't really embrace in it that much since she's the one that's playing messenger for the two.

Charlotte: How are you Travis?

Travis: I've had better days.

Charlotte: Alright. Come sit down.

He walked over and started to eat breakfest with his sister as she was just talking.

Charlotte: Just eat, don't talk.

Travis: ...

Charlotte: I'm here to give an update on what's going on at home.

Travis: psh* If it doesn't involve the kids don't bother.

Charlotte: Zip it. Now Alexis went back to school this morning, and Jackson is back at home. I can see that this is now taking a toll on the kids..

Travis: puts down his fork noticeably*

It made her stop talking and that was how becoming frustrating for her since this was important for Becky to relay some stuff to her husband, but he wasn't having any of it and didn't want to hear it.

Charlotte: Seriously Travis. I have important stuff to tell you.

Travis: Why should I care? She clearly didn't care for a whole year Ashley. I've given up, no forgiveness this time.

Charlotte: Travis, I love you like a brother; shut up. Now Alexis is keeping Becky's mind off of all this. Her homework and being a kid is making her depression go away.

Travis: ...

Charlotte: For Jackson, hes a baby Travis. Becky cannot have a hyper five year old and a one year old all by herself. So while this is getting situated, Becky came up with switching a couple days during the week to have them.

Travis: So basically how itll be when we divorce, right?

Charlotte: About the divorce. I'm telling you as a friend and seeing you two get into it way before; Don't divorce her, it'll break her heart and she'll never be the same anymore.

Travis: stands up* Ha! See, here we go again. It's all about Becky, it all revolves around her in everything that happens. I'm always planted as the bad guy.

Charlotte: I never said you were.

Katie: Calm down Trav.

Travis: How can I calm down when you, and also you *points at his sister* are taking her side. You do know she cheated on me.. with one of my best friends.. and kept it a secret for over a year.

Charlotte: I-

Travis: A year! How does that not raise red flags!?

Katie: I've already told you how I felt. She was scared since you two were building each other back up and didn't want to ruin it.

Charlotte: Thank you.

Travis: You're both ridiculous. If I would've cheated on her with someone else then I'd be the asshole.

Charlotte: Ok, I'm not getting into this. I'm just here to give you updates, so sit down and eat damnit.

He could tell that he was pissing her off and wanted to keep it calm to hear the rest since it could be for the kids.

Charlotte: So with the kids thing over with, Becky got a letter back in the mail.

Travis: Regarding? Jackson?

Charlotte: She will tell you herself on that.

Travis: You're serious now? You know if he is my son or not and you're not going to tell me? You might as well since you kept a secret from me..

Charlotte: Travis. Stop. Seriously, just listen.

Travis: deep breath in frustration*

Charlotte: Anyways, now Becky just had her birthday with the kids. They didn't do much besides stay around the house and watched movies.

Katie: I went over around when she was putting the kids to bed, then she cried.

Charlotte: Then when I went back over she was sitting up in her bed Alexis on her lap, she was silently crying.

Travis's mind: She spent her birthday alone. All she had were the kids.

Charlotte: Anyways, so instead of ignoring her phone calls and making things worse; maybe answer one of them and talk to her. Yeah?

Travis: I'll talk to her when we're in front of a lawyer.

Charlotte: I cannot believe you Travis. You were such a caring and loving guy, now you're just a dick.

Travis: Well, when you've gone through the shit I did that twenty four hour nightmare then you'll understand.

Charlotte: Whatever, good seeing you Katie.

She walked over and hugged his sister, looked back over at Travis who was just staring straight ahead and eating his food.

Charlotte then walked out the front door and drove back over to his house.

At Katie's*

Travis cleaned off his plate, turned around to see his sister cross armed.

Travis: I just got an ear full, I don't need to hear it from you.

Katie: No, you do. What the hell has gotten into you? Who are you? Where is the loving brother I've known for thirty years?

Travis: not a care in the world* You'll never understand.

He then brushed her off and started to walk into the living room where she got him to stop for a second.

Katie: Maybe Ashley and I can't change your shitty attitude. But maybe mom can, she's coming in a couple days to see what's going on.

Travis: ...

Katie: And if you're attitude doesnt change with her then dad's coming down. Don't push it.

She then got up and walked upstairs to get ready to go out and run around the city for her shopping list.

As she was now gone, Travis sat in the living room just thinking.

He was now thinking that him being unreasonable could be making this worse, he already knows how his wife thinks but he's acting like a child.

He had no remorse for Becky whenever Charlotte was telling him updates until the birthday part. Usually for her birthday he would get her a charm to add onto her bracelet and take her to dinner, but this year her thirtieth was a wreck and staying shut in.

This could be all of his fault that his marriage is coming to an end.

Back at Becky and Travis's*

Charlotte pulled up into the driveway twenty minutes later, walked inside to be meet with her goddaughter Alexis running up.

Alexis: Ash Ash!!

She jumped into her arms while holding something.

Charlotte: Hi my princess, what do you have there?

Alexis: Coloring book.

Charlotte: Do you want to color?

Alexis: Yes!

She walked her over to her little table area while Charlotte sat on the ground and watched her color for five minutes.

Becky walked into the room and looked like a wreck. Face pale, still in her pajamas and eyes all red.

Charlotte: Morning.

Becky: Mornin-

She couldn't even say the whole word since she was so broken down. Becky was slowly getting more and more depressed, feeling like she has failed and doesnt deserve another chance.

Charlotte watched her go into the kitchen and make a cup of coffee.

Charlotte: I'll be back sweetie.

Alexis: bobbing her head around* Ok.

The Queen got up from the living room floor and walked into the kitchen where Becky slowly sipped on the cup.

Charlotte: Wheres the little man?

Becky: points up* He's still sleeping.

Charlotte: Seems like he hasn't gotten alot of sleep lately.

Becky: None of us have.

She went in for another swig as Charlotte had to tell her what she did this morning.

Charlotte: So. I went over to Katie's this morning.

Becky: Oh..

Charlotte: Travis was there.

Becky: ...

Charlotte: I told him a little on what we talked about.

Becky: Like?

She wanted to know so she could see how he reacted to it.

Charlotte: You know, what we talked about involving the kids during this time, what you got in the mail.

Becky: Anything else?

Charlotte: And not having the divorce.

Becky: What did he say?

This was Becky's first time getting some sort of one on one for what Travis is really thinking of this whole thing.

Charlotte: Well. He was cooperative, but also extremely difficult.

Becky: About which part? Don't tell me the kids.

Charlotte: Oh no, that part we sorta agreed with. It was-

Becky: Was it about Jackson?

Charlotte: Well- no. That he didn't really say anything besides wanting to know.

Becky: If he would answer my calls!

Charlotte: I told him that..

They stood there in silence for a bit as she wanted to know one more thing.

Becky: softly says* What did he say about the divorce?

Charlotte: Becks.

Becky: I just want to know.

Charlotte: sighs* He's still on it.

Becky put her coffee cup down and covered her face as she started to cry again.

Charlotte quickly grabbed her and embraced her in a hug while she let it all out.

Her little sounds of weeping and sniffs alerted someone else in the house.

Alexis: Mommy?

Becky: Sniffs*

Charlotte then heard little chair get pushed in with little footsteps following as Alexis came into the kitchen.

Alexis: Mommy? You ok?

Becky: backs away from Charlotte* Sniffs* Oh- yeah. I'm alright sweetheart.

Alexis: You-re crying.

Becky then bent down and picked her up, then hugged her which Alexis always give them back.

Charlotte then watched Becky drop some more tears as she was hugging her daughter.

It was a sweet moment between the two since she must know how hard it's been on Alexis.

Later on throughout the day*

Becky hasn't done much besides keep her mind clear by spending the day outside with the kids and the pup.

Kilo was really helping her out during this period, it seemed like he would know when she was very upset since he would always be next to her whenever she would break down.

They were having the time of their lives as Becky took Jackson into the pool with Alexis.

Charlotte stayed for a little until Becky told her she would be fine for the rest of the night, so she left to go back home.

Alexis and Jackson really lifted her spirits as they showed her much more light into this dark picture.

Throughout the day they were drawing pictures, taking pictures and watching disney movies. Alexis's energy kept Becky smiling and Jackson always made her laugh.

It seemed like for a second she had forgotten about the whole situation, that was until later that night.

Kids are in bed*

The clock just hit six o'clock at night and the kids were already passed out. The long, but fun day wore them put quickly which made Becky happy since it was worth it.

Jackson was in his crib, and Alexis just got laid down.

Becky: Goodnight babygirl.

She kissed her forehead and turned off her light.

Leaving the doors open just incase they cry out later during this.

Becky then walked back downstairs to see the pup laying on the floor below her spot on the couch. She walked over, sat down and grabbed her phone.

It was time to break some news to someone that she's currently missing. She then scrolled through and found his contact instantly since this hasn't been the first time she's tried to get ahold of him.

Becky: Please.. please pick up.

With Travis*

He was sitting in the living room, alone as Katie and his nephew Ben went out to a movie. They asked if he wanted to go but he had to say no since he was supposed to watch RAW tonight.

The show kicked off with the company addressing his situation with the arrest and charge. Finn later dropped the charge but they're keeping him suspended.

From their words it made out to make him a bad guy which pissed him off.

That segment ended and that was it, he turned off the tv and felt his phone vibrate once.

Multiple voicemails were filling it as he hasn't heard the latest three.

One was from two nights ago, then two were from last night. All from Becky.

He heard them all and noticed something, her voice was cracking and he could tell that she was taking it pretty hard.

Mostly she was asking for his time so they could work it all out, then it also involved crying and pleads for forgiveness.

The last one got him a little as she started to cry towards the end, but that got cut off with a incoming call.

He pulled the phone away from his ear and saw the contact read "Becks❤". He hadn't changed it since he seemed like it was wrong.

But he was then contemplating on not answering it or not, but he needed answers.

Accept*

Travis: Becky.

Becky: Travis, you picked up.

Travis: Yeah.

Becky: I- I don't know what to say.

Travis: ...

Becky: ...

Travis: Ashley said you had something pretty important to tell me.

Becky: Yeah. But first can we talk?

Travis: I'm still listening.

Becky: I mean.. can you come home.

Travis: That- that can't happen.

Becky: Please Travis. We really need to talk this out.

Travis: Becky, I just need to know. That's all I want to know.

Becky: Ok. I'm sorry for making you wait.

He didn't respond as she waited a little, but since he wasnt wanting to meet up she figured to get it over with over the phone.

Becky: Ok. I got sent the paternity test.

Travis: Yeah?

Becky: Jackson is your son.

She didn't hear anything over on his end for a little until it sounded like a huge sigh of relief came through.

Becky: Travis, I just want to say how much I regret everything that's happened between us during this time. I feel like a failure of a mother, a wife, a friend-

He had to stop her since this wasnt right to do over the phone.

Travis: Stop. Not over the phone.

Becky: Please talk to me.

Travis: I don't know if I can. I think we should talk soon though.

Becky: sniffs* Ok, where do you want to meet? Here? Or there?

Travis: I mean at a lawfirm.

Becky: Oh *starts to cry again*. Trav, please.

Travis: I'm sorry Becks.

He then hung up and Becky kept the phone up to her ear as the tears were flowing.

She then dropped it onto her lap, looked down and started to break down for the third time today.

Her heart was slowly breaking as she knows that her life was crumbling.

With Travis*

As he hung up, he quickly dropped his phone on the couch and lunged forward with his hands catching his head.

He was starting to breakdown with weights off his shoulder, his baby boy was his.

Travis never thought of what would've happened if Jackson turned out to not be his.

But that's doesn't matter anymore since he was positive on being the father.

His heart was racing while a text came through his phone.

Hunter: Meeting set up for Wednesday. Be there or risk your contract.

At this point he didnt care to respond. It was now clicking in his mind that their also responsible for this happening. The company kept them apart for so long and made it more difficult to process it all.

Travis started to think on recovering his marriage with Becky at one point, but then pin pointed it all to selfishness and ego.

Nothing was making sense as Travis was starting to lose his mind, so he tried to drown it out with music.
