DREW'S POV
It had been 9 days since Katelyn walked out of my dad's house. I thought she would've gone to stay with Becky in Dublin, but nobody had seen or heard from her. I was getting seriously worried. Why didn't I close down that damn email window? I'm such a dick. For a second time, it seemed like I had lost Katelyn, but I wasn't giving up this time.
Tonight the tour was in Paris, it went okay. I screwed up some of my moves because I was preoccupied with what was going on with my wife, I ended up losing the match to Braun Strowman, which I was meant to win. When I got backstage after my match, Adam came over to me and asked what was going on.
'I fucked things up with Kate, she won't return any of my calls. I'm such a dick for saying that I wished I hadn't got married..'
'Woah, you said that?' Adam asked, using a towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
'Kate found an email conversation between me and Austin and I kinda said to him that if I'd have known what married life was going to be like, then I wouldn't have got married.' I sighed and put my head in my hands.
'Damn, is that why she's not here?'
'Yeah. She said she couldn't be near me. She found out about me sleeping with Joe's wife, but she said she was okay with it and we carried on as normal, but now I don't know. I think I've lost her, man. What do I do, Adam?' I looked up at the 7footer, not caring that he was seeing me cry.
'Keep calling until she's so sick of you calling that she answers her cell. Then tell her how much of a fucking douche you've been and that she is the only woman for you. Or better yet, go home early. I'm sure Hunter will let you. Just say you have a family emergency. We only have like 3 shows left. I'm sure he won't mind.' I clapped the giant of a man on the back and thanked him. Rushing to the mens locker room, I took a quick shower and changed into jeans, a vintage Def Leppard tour tee and put my leather jacket on. I packed up my ring gear into my suitcase and made sure I had my iPod, phone charger and everything in my backpack, then headed out to find Hunter. After searching what seemed the whole of the building, I found him in the parking lot, by the buses.
'Hunter, I have to go home,' I said wheezing slightly from jogging the length of the parking lot.
'What's wrong? Is Katelyn okay? What about AJ?'
'They're fine. At least, I think they are.' I quickly relayed what had gone down between me and Katelyn and he granted me early leave from the tour, saying that he would issue a press release stating that I picked up an injury in my match against Strowman. I thanked him and booked an Uber to the airport.

It was 6am the following morning when I let myself into my house in St Petersburg. Leaving my bags by the front door, I headed upstairs to the nursery, only to find Kate and AJ fast asleep on the sheepskin rug. I snapped a quick photo of the two of them and posted it to my Instagram with the caption 'Have to love coming home to this', then quickly hid in the closet. Kate's phone vibrated on the hardwood floor causing her to stir and wake up. I watched through the slats as she put AJ in his crib, picked up her phone and looked around her, a confused look on her face. Next thing, my phone rings and Kate opens the closet doors.
'Surprise,' I said quietly, rejecting the call.
'What the hell are you doing here?' I exited the closet, closing the doors behind me, and sat in the rocking chair.
'Kate, I was an idiot,' I began.
'Yeah, understatement of the freaking year.'
'Will you let me finish?' I snapped. She looked taken aback that I would snap at her. 'I was a dick for saying what I did, but I don't regret it. Are you telling me that married life isn't what you thought it would be?'
'It's exactly how I thought it would be. I just didn't think that you would cheat so early on. I thought that I would gain weight and you wouldn't find me attractive anymore, that would be when you go elsewhere. Not less than a year in.'
'Galina was a mistake. I was pissed because you were in LA with Mike, filming that show, and I just needed to feel wanted. I thought you were putting your acting career in front of me.'
'My acting career was a 2 minute cameo in his latest movie, that took less than a day to film. I also had some other work stuff to do whilst there.'
'But you never asked me if I was okay with you doing it...'
'Like you never asked me if it was okay for Austin to buy the house in Orlando?'
'I admit I was wrong about that. I should've discussed that with you first, but I thought you wouldn't mind. Besides, it would save us around $5000 a month and we're going to need the extra money for the new baby. Kate, I don't want us to fight anymore. All this is no good for you or the baby.'
'No more bullshit and lies, no cheating...'
'No kissing co-workers. We are endgame baby, don't you forget that.' Drew pressed his forehead against mine.
'Are you sure you're okay with us having this baby?'
'I don't know. It's like our life is one crazy ride. We're 18 months in and we already have one baby, now another on the way.'

'But we will make it work, right?'
'Of course we will. Now, I need to lay down for a while. You coming?' I held my hand out for Kate, which she took. Grabbing the baby monitor and my phone, we left AJ to sleep in his crib and went into our bedroom, closing the door and having some of that sensual lovin' that I had been craving.
KATE'S POV
Beth shook me awake a few hours later to tell me that she was taking AJ to the toddler club at the local water park. He was a happy child, especially around water, which was a good thing because we lived right on the Gulf. After saying goodbye to the two of them for the day, I pottered around th kitchen and made some breakfast for Drew and I. Taking the breakfast tray up to the bedroom, I opened the door with my hip, only to find the bed empty.
'Drew?' I called, setting the tray down on the dresser. I noticed the balcony door wss open. 'I made breakfast.'
'I'm out here babe,' came his reply. I left the tray on the side and walked out onto the balcony. Drew was leaning against the railing, his back to me, wearing just a pair of shorts, no shirt, his muscular back and fine ass shivering slightly in the cool air. Yep, you could tell winter was definitely coming.
'Look at you, looking like a snack. I wanna eat you up.'
'Baby, you can eat this big Scottish sausage anytime you like.' I feigned horror, then giggled and swatted at his arm. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled in into his side. 'Katelyn, I really am sorry about Galina..'
'Let's just forget it ever happened. Besides, I heard that she's taking the kids and leaving Joe.'
'Who told you that?'
'Becky said that Joe had told Seth that things weren't working out.'
'How could she leave him when he needs her the most? What a bitch.'
'Hey, you stuck your dick in that bitch.'
'No, it was just head, no sex.'
'Oh, okay.' I shivered and cuddled further into Drew's side. I looked out toward the horizon and could see huge black clouds rolling in from the Gulf. 'We should go inside before the rain comes.' We made it into the bedroom just as the first drops of rain came crashing down.
We were lay on the decking, under the gazebo, when Beth and AJ came home later that day, with Elias in tow. I liked Elias, but I wasn't keen on my sister spending so much time with him, especially when she was meant to be working and looking after our son. I made a mental note to have a word with her about that over dinner. I'd made lasagne and homemade garlic ciabatta for dinner, the table was all set for the 4 of us. Beth put AJ on my lap and headed to the pool house, which we had converted into a studio apartment for her, without a word. I was pissed. Handing AJ to Drew, I stormed down to the pool house and banged on the door. Elias opened it, half naked.
'Where's Beth?' I demanded, storming in. 'Bethany, get out here right now!' She came out of the bathroom after a few minutes. She probably realised that I wasn't going to back away from this one. I had let her get away with so much in the 14 months and it was about to end. 'What the hell was that all about?'
'Nothing, I just wanted to spend some time with my boyfriend, is that a crime?'
'It is when you're meant to be working until 6pm when we are home, unless we have a prior engagement. It's only 4 now.'
'And?' she snaps. 'So you get alone time with Drew to sleep and fuck, but I can't?'
'There's a difference between us Bethany. I haven't slept with half of the guys who walk into the Performance Centre.' Something suddenly clicked in my mind and my hands flew over my mouth. 'It was you. You're the one who was sleeping with Heath, the one who almost cost me my marriage.'
'So what if it was?' she sneered, stepping toward me. I began to cry.
'Why would you do that to me?'
'I was fed up of always having to live in your shadow. All I used to get at home was 'oh, isn't your sister doing well for herself?' Or 'Your sister is very talented. You must be so proud of her.' It made me sick. Nobody seemed bothered that I had just graduated from university. No! All everyone could go on about was how you had just scored a top 5 album in the UK. That's the only reason I came out here. I wanted to destroy everything you had here, piece by piece. It was me who sent that letter to Drew, pretending to be Stephanie. I thought Drew would believe it, the photos were very convincing.'
'Get out! I want you out of my house and out of our lives in the next 30 minutes or I won't be responsible for what I do to you.'
'Fine. I'll go and stay with Elias. But, you should tell Drew your little secret. Don't worry, I know all about your little drug problem.' I stepped forward and slapped my sister across the face, then left the pool house to join my family in the house.
