(The scene takes place on Monday, April 1, the first day of the month at 7:30 in the morning at the residence of Dr. Benton and Robyn Hurst, the parents of FSW Superstar Lexie Glass. Glass is still staying with her folks thanks to a court ordered conservatorship granted to her father. It is like any other weekday morning at the home as Lexie’s teenage sister, Erin, gets ready for school, her father is preparing to go to work, while her mother tends to her year old siblings, Liam and Lucia. Lexie herself is pregnant with her first child and wakes up with a case of morning sickness. She goes to the bathroom to throw up and goes back to bed. She tries to go back to sleep to no avail. She then decides to pull out her laptop to do another entry in her video journal. As the camera comes on, she lies in her bed with the laptop in front of her as she speaks.)
LG: Good morning, and this is my latest entry of my video journal. We are now in the month of April 1. And what a shock I received when I done my latest ultrasound. I am not just having a baby, or two. I am having three. Triplets. Can you believe that? I hope not because it’s not true. APRIL FOOLS!!!! I couldn’t resist. It is just one that I am having still, and it is healthy. Everything is going fine for the most part with me and my family. I haven’t felt this close to them in a long time. Mom and I have been spending a lot of time together taking care of my baby brother and sister, along with preparing for my baby. She wasn’t too thrilled about becoming a grandmother at first, but she is now warmed up to the idea of having a grandchild for the first time. Her friends at her book club are even going to throw me a baby shower later on this Spring.
While my Dad still has his weekend fishing trips with his buddies, he and I went on one last weekend. Just the two of us. It was just like the old days when I was a kid. He would get mad when I would catch more fish than him. But we also had a nice heart to heart talk. Like we had when I was younger. I realized how much I missed those. We talked about a lot of stuff, especially the baby. Dad, he is so excited about becoming a Grandfather. He can’t wait. He also told me that at one of his Friday night poker games, he told his friends about me being pregnant and him soon becoming a grandpa. This led to he and the guys talking about their kids and grandkids instead of what he said they usually discuss. Which is sports and women.
I feel like that my younger sister, Erin, and I haven’t been any closer. We go shopping together and go to the movies together. She can’t wait to become an Aunt. She has been telling her friends at school about it. Everything couldn’t be better. Well, except for one thing. A few weeks ago, I finally got the courage to tell the baby’s father that I am pregnant. We met at a restaurant in Chattanooga called Sugar’s Ribs. He noticed something was strange when he saw how much I was eating. I slowly eased my way in letting him know I was pregnant. But his reaction really surprised me.
First, he tried to convince me that someone else had to be the father. I told him that there was no way that anyone else could be as doctors told me that my ex-fiancee, Caleb, only had like a five percent chance or less of his sperm producing a child. Plus, I pointed out that he was the only man that I was with during the timeframe I became pregnant. Then I brought up the idea of us finally being together and starting a family. I told him that I loved him and hoped that we could be together. You know what happened next?
The bastard, he told me that he didn’t love me the way I thought that he did. He loved me like a friend, a kid sister. A guy that fucks and knocks up his kid sister? Really? Then he goes on about how he already has a family of his own, losing his wife, yada yada yada. He told me that he wasn’t ready to be with anyone again nor be a father again. But he told me that he would pay for me and the baby to be taken care of until it becomes an adult. I then told him to go to Hell, that I didn’t want his fucking money, and that the baby and I would be fine without him. After he stormed out of the restaurant, I just sat there and cried. The staff was so friendly and gracious. A couple of ladies talked to me, and even gave me a piece of pie and glass of milk on the house. My father came in a couple of hours later and calmed me down. We talked a lot that night.
I guess I was really naïve to think that he would really love me, you know? (Lexie bursts into tears. She then wipes the tears from her eyes.) I lost a great guy because of him and the fact that I thought he truly loved me and we would have some sort of future together. Joke was on me, huh? April Fool’s on me, right? He tried to call me and text me several times after that, but I refuse to respond. And I will tell you all who the father of my baby is. And what a douchebag he truly is. Peter Dragon. Yes, that’s right. The former wrestler. I grew up watching him. And when I trained under his wife’s cousin and we became besties, I met Peter, his wife, Misty, and the rest of his family. They seemed like really nice people.
This past New Year’s Eve at a party he was throwing, I was outside smoking a cigarette. He came out and told me that he was getting some air. We talked and he told me that after his wife, Misty, passed away, things were not the same. He was telling me what a toll that losing her was taking on him and his family. Then I talked to him about not always being happy in the relationship I was in. After talking a while, we ended up in his bedroom and made love. That was the night that our child was conceived. We met up at a hotel in Gatlinburg three weeks later and had sex again. He would text me telling me that he loved me and at times wished that we could always be together. I knew that I shouldn’t have got involved with him, but it was something that just happened. I loved Caleb, but I thought that Peter would be “The One”. But I guess I was kidding himself. But enough about him.
I want to thank all the letters, tweets, messages, love, and support you all have given me. I know for a while I was shitty to all you fans for a while. But your love and support has made me realize that there is still a lot of good left in this World and it hasn’t gone unnoticed with me. I truly feel blessed with the support system I have from my family, friends, and all you fans. And that will make it easier for me as I go on this journey into the next part of my life: Motherhood. I promise that I will get back in touch with all you soon. Love you all. MUAH!!!!!
(After the video ends, Lexie actually falls back asleep. She is awakened by some yelling by her mother a few hours later.)
RH: YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE SHOWING UP HERE. HOW DID YOU FIND WHERE WE LIVED? WHAT DO YOU WANT? I DON’T THINK SHE WILL WANT TO TALK TO YOU, BUT I WILL ASK HER.
(Lexie’s Mother, Robyn, comes into her room. Lexie yawns and fully wakes herself up.)
LG: What’s going on, Mom? Who are you yelling at?
RH: Honey, you are not going to believe this, but there is someone here to see you. And you don’t have to see him. But if you do, that’s fine too. It is your choice.
LG: Who is here to see me?
RH: It’s Peter Dragon.
LG: Really.
RH: Yes.
LG: Okay, Mom. Good one.
RH: What?
LG: This is some kind of April Fool’s joke, isn’t it?
RH: No it’s not, he’s really here.
LG: Yeah, I will play along. I will go out there and see that there is nobody there. And you will yell APRIL FOOL’S.
RH: This is not a joke, nor would I even play an April Fool’s prank like that.
LG: Okay, Mom.
(Lexie gets out of bed to play along. But when she walks out of the bedroom and through the hall into the living room, she is surprised as her mother was actually telling the truth as Peter Dragon is standing there in the living room.)
LG: Peter?
PD: Yes, it’s me, Lexie. We need to talk.
LG: There is nothing more to talk about.
PD: Yes there is. Please, let’s talk. Just give me a few minutes of your time. After that, if you want, you will never see or hear from me again.
LG: Okay, fine. We will talk in my room. Is that okay with you, Mom?
RH: Of course it is, baby. That’s fine. And if you need me, I am right out here.
LG: Alright, Pete. Let’s go. You’re on the clock now.
