Subject: "Undeniable Love" Part 3

[For those of you who are completely clueless about what some of the parts are, I've taken the liberty to explain them at the end. Hopefully it will make more sense to you by then.]
{I apologize to those of you who bother reading this. I'll straight-off say, these parts are quite short in plot and all, but that's actually what I expected, although they seemed much longer when I was thinking them through. And, Sir Mark, if you come across this site and read this--I'm quite sorry if you read ANYTHING I've wrote on here--don't think quite badly of it, because if I had the time, it would've been a lot worse.xD}
(This takes place a week later in a bar.)
"You guys want some JD?", Mark asked? "Mark, it's eight in the morning and you're asking us if we want JD? Did something impair your brain last night?", Joohi asked. "Yea, I think I'll have some", Cena, Glen, Mysterio, Matt, Jeff and Josa said. Mark got some JD from the bartender and begun pouring eight glasses. "No, Mark, I don't think I'll have any this time", Daniella said. "Why n--", he began, cut off by her firm headshake. "So are you still drumming kiddo?", Josa asked. "Nope", she replied, "they split apart a few weeks ago. Community gigs mainly." "Three members in the band? That's weird for Shinedown", Glen said. "Jasin came back after he got the whole annulment done", Dani replied. "He divorced Melody?", Joohi asked, surprised. "This is the same Melody we know? Van Zant? Johnny's sister?", Mark asked. "Yea. Melody Van Zant. They've been having some problems and Jasin didn't want to deal with her anymore. You know how he is", Daniella said. "Vince wants us back in time for our match and more signings. So we gotta get going in about three hours", Matt said. "Yea. We can take the car there. It's in San Antonio, Mark", Jeff said. "Home Sweet Home", Josa said, grinning. "Don't you be doing anything stupid, cupcake", Joohi said, smacking him lightly in the head. "Don't I be doing anything stupid?", Josa asked. "Yea, man, you watch yourself", Mysterio said, laughing.
Five hours later, they were all at the SmackDown! stadium, a quarter way through the show. They were all sitting in the locker-room, except for Matt and Jeff, who were in a Triple Threat Tag Team match for the WWE Tag Team titles against Paul London, Brian Kendrick and DX. Mark was nowhere to be found. Dave, sitting next to Dani, asked her where he was. "Si, amiga, de donde es muerto?", Eddie asked, laughing and jingling his car keys. "I….have no idea", Dani answered. Matt, Jeff, Brian Paul, Shawn and Hunter walked into the locker-room, laughing like maniacs. Paul ran into Dani. "Tu es peligroso, holmes!", Eddie said, chuckling. Paul shot out his hand and helped Dani off the floor. "Sorry, didn’t mean to", London said. Shawn smacked Matt on the back. "Dude, did you see how I handled your brother out there?" Jeff walked up to Shawn. "Man that HURT." "Maybe that’s the way McMahon wants it", Hunter said, snorting. "Yea? What’s that s’pposed to mean?", Jeff asked. "It means that if you have a problem with being smacked around, you better take it up with McMahon. Tell him you don’t like it. He makes the storylines." Jeff got up into Hunter’s face. "Well maybe I will." "You keep that attitude to yourself, Jeff. I don’t deserve it." "WHAT ATTITUDE?!?", Jeff screamed. "The one that just shot outta your ass slapped me in the face. Leave me the hell alone, punk", Hunter said, turning to leave. That pissed Jeff off right on the spot. He raised his hand to smack Hunter. Dani ran in the middle of them. "Jeff, no!", she said. "Get away Dani. This is between me and him. He’s gotta learn he doesn’t call the shots around here", Jeff said. Mark came in and looked around, then grabbed Hunter’s arm. "Forget it. You’re offstage. It’s over." Hunter jerked his hand out of Mark’s grip and walked away. "What was that all about?", Matt asked. "No idea. I think he’s having problems with Stephanie", Shawn said quietly. "So he has to take this out on Jeff?", Brian asked. "That’s a load of bull", Dave replied. They heard walking approaching the locker-room and looked back. They saw Porter walking in, followed by Sean and JJ, with Mat tailing JJ. Mat grabbed JJ’s arm. "JJ, you said The Prototypes would get back together again! You bullshitted me!!", Mat said. "No, I said The Phenomenal Daredevils would get back together. Mat, we don’t click. Sorry", JJ said with his back turned. Porter faced Mat, shaking his head and grinning. "Naw, man, The Prototypes ARE getting back together. What do you say to that, Lucas?", Porter asked. Mat grinned "Porter, I owe you big time. Let’s go tell McMahon we’re back."
Mark pulled Daniella a bit out of view of the locker. "I’m not going to wait any longing for this, love", he said. He pulled a small box from his jean pocket and lowered himself unto one knee, putting the box into her hand, closed his fingers around hers and looked into her eyes. "Daniella, I love you with all my heart. I am willing to do anything for you. You are my One and Only." He paused for a moment, and looked at his knee. The next thing he asked was barely audible. "Will you marry me?" Daniella pulled him up and looked into his eyes, answering without hesitation. "Mark William Calaway." She smiled. "I love you with all I have. You are the only one I ever want to be with. I would brave death over and over for you. Yes, Mark. I will marry you." He took the ring out and put it on her finger. It was a topaz, with a piece of obsidian in the middle. "Mark, it’s…." She couldn’t even finish her though. The whole room exploded with laughter, applause and whistles. Eddie started dancing like his ass was on fire. They began walking for the door, but Daniella put her finger through one of Mark’s belt rungs and pulled lightly. He walked back and put his arm around her waist. "What’s wrong?", he asked. "Mark? I’m uhm…" "What? What is it?" He sounded nervous. She leaned her head into the nape of his neck. "I’m pregnant", she whispered. She buried her face into his neck, not sure if she wanted to see his next reaction. Mark withdrew his hand from her waist and lifted her chin up until he was looking at her. She locked her eyes with his and saw the biggest smile on his face, tears of joy dripping down his face and onto his t-shirt. "Is it a boy or a girl?", he asked. "I've no idea. I just found out last night", she replied. They walked to the car and sat inside. "We've got a child", he said. "Yes. We do", she answered. "You can’t just keep on wrestling", he said. "Yes, I can", she replied, "I can do it for a few more months, maybe five or six at most. Linda told me that there was going to be a feud between Joohi and me, and he’d want me out for five months after that." "And?" "And that leaves about a month or two after the birth. I can probably pull off a few more months outta Vince to raise the baby. Mark, you and the baby are my world, but I can’t give this up. The closest thing I have to adventure now is working for Vince", she said. Mark put a hand on her shoulder, looking startled. "Your opinion of adventure is working for Vince? Vince McMahon?" Daniella grinned. She took his remaining hand and put it up to her face, slipping her tongue in between his fingers. "I sure do. It’s the best adventure I’ve ever had." Mark grinned. "You don’t want to be doing that. Santa’s watching. He’ll put you down as Naughty on his list, and he won’t have to check it twice to make sure", Mark said, smiling devilishly. "Yeah, well, maybe Santa’s gunna skip over me just this once", Dani said. Mark put his arm around her and leaned her onto his torso. "Seriously. Daniella, what if you get hit badly? What if it becomes a miscarriage? What then?", he asked. She sighed. "Mark Mark Mark. I’ve been wanting this child for over a year now. Don’t you go on thinking I’m not gunna do everything in my willpower to protect it. Mark, I want this chap as badly as you do. No Hell in a Cell, no Caskets, No DQ matches. None of that "hardcore" stuff. Normal one pin-fall matches only", she answered. "Those aren’t the only things that can go wrong, love. What if you’re thrown into an unprotected turnbuckle, or slammed into the mat harder than usual? What if the next match includes you being smashed into the steps, or onto the announcers’ table? You know how Vince is. Just about every match has one or the other included in it. Is that what you want?", he asked, his voice lower but more dangerous-sounding. She looked out the window for a moment. "No, that’s not what I want. But what do we do? Just walk up into his office and tell him that I’m not wrestling for two years or so? He won’t take that lightly." "Do I CARE how lightly the bastard takes it? My child’s life is not in Vince’s hands. It’s in our hands", he said, giving her a light kiss. They got out of the car and walked up to Teddy’s office, knocking twice. Teddy opened the door, looking surprised. "What can I do for you, playas?", he asked. "D’you know where Vince is?", Daniella asked. "No. I haven’t seen him since the start of the show. Why?" "Because we needed to tell him that Daniella’s not going to be in for a long while", Mark answered. "And why is that?", Teddy asked. "I’ve got a baby growing in my womb. I’m not taking any risks. You tell him that if you see him, alright, Teddy?", Daniella explained. "Well that’s great! Is it a boy or a girl?", Teddy asked. "No idea", Mark answered.
The next few months dragged along slowly, but the date of labor came. That day was probably the hardest Mark and Dani had to endure. At least for a while. It wasn't that easy; she was in labor for about 23 hours. Mark stood by her side every moment he could and held her hand, trying to calm her down. Well, the time came for the baby's birth, and it was just about the most unbearable pain that she had ever felt. It was as if there needles stuck into every inch of her body, and pressing harder with each push. When the baby was out and there was crying, both Daniella's and Mark's face were wet with joy. They had a baby. They had a baby boy. On February 12, 1999, at 5:32 AM, their first child was born in a hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. It was a boy, weighing 8 lbs, 4 oz., at a full 22 inches. (Well, with a 6’ 1 mom and a 6’ 9 dad, yea, this baby was going to grow up to be TALL.) A nurse came into the room with a clipboard. "Mr. and Mrs. Calaway, you have visitors." In came Steve, Porter, Joohi, Josa and Shawn. "Hey guys", Shawn said. "The others couldn’t come. They send their greetings, blessings, happiness, etc." "Thanks Shawn", Mark said, "It’s great to have you all here." "We wouldn’t miss it for the world", Josa said. "Is it a boy or a girl?", Joohi said. "Boy", Mark said, smiling. "What’re you naming him?", Porter asked. Daniella and Mark looked at each other. They both had a name in mind for months, but they weren’t sure if it would be the right one. Although after the baby was borne, they had no doubt that name would fit him so well. They began throwing hints at each other. "Stephen King", Mark said. "The Dark Tower", Daniella said. "The Gunslinger", he replied. "Roland Deschain", she finished, "Roland Deschain, son of Steven, of the Line of Eld and the ka-tet of Nineteen and Ninety-Nine." "Roland Calaway", Mark said, "Sounds pretty darn good." "Keep the honor in there love. Roland Deschain Calaway" "Yea. I like that", he said. He bent down and kissed Roland on the head. "My boy", he said, sounding choked up. "That’s alright, Mark", Porter said, clapping him on the back. "Let’s just hope he won’t turn out to be like Mordred and come after you, Mark", Joohi said, chuckling. About a week later, Daniella was discharged from the hospital and she came home with Mark and Roland at 8 in the night. Their things were put away and Mark and Daniella were sitting on the floor, playing with Roland. "What did Vince say when you told him I'd be out?", she asked, getting ready to put the baby to sleep. They started walking up the stairs. "He had absolutely no reaction. Wouldn't even look at me. He just said 'Go, do what you need and I hope you'll be happy. We'll miss you two, and hopefully see you in a few years'" "Wow. It doesn't sound like something he would say", she replied, changing Roland. "He just lost two of his greatest superstars for about two years. He won't be too happy about it, but he ALSO knows that if he starts something, he just might not be well enough to manage another show for a while", Mark answered. He picked up Roland and looked at him, smiling. "How in the world is it possible for two green-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child?", he asked. "Blue eyes and black curls, just like the original", she answered. Mark kissed Roland and put him to bed, tucking him in. Roland giggled, then yawned, and fell asleep. Daniella stood by Mark's shoulder. At around two in the morning, Daniella woke up to feed Roland. She got him out of the crib and laid him in her hands. She felt Mark's hands going up her back. "Mark, not now", she said. "Yes now. He needs to be fed", he replied. He pulled the shirt over her head and she began feeding Roland. She burped him and lay him back down in his crib when he fell asleep again. "This won't be easy, right? But we've got it down", Mark said. He scooped her up in his arms, his hips pressed up against hers, and they slept the night away.
Things were going along fine at a year later, and they were closer to getting back to work. Mark was with Daniella and Roland every day. He missed the shows and all, but being with his wife and child was more important to him than working for Vince. Roland was growing up well too. He was learning to walk and eat, and had said his frist two words: Mama and Dada. Roland was growing up to be the best thing in their lives. Yet, there was a catch. Although they wouldn't admit it to each other, both parents were having premonitions. It wasn't clear yet as to where these premonitions were pointing to, but they weren't too darn nice. Dani's were mainly one long word: Offgansnavel. Mark's was 'Dan-tet', but it soon included a rose wrapped arond a revolver with sandalwood grips, and white light bursting from its barrel. They both had an idea where it might've come from, but they didn't want to confront each other about this. Which was quite surprising, because they never kept secrets from each other.
But they got their answer not too long after this. About two weeks, give or take a few days, they were both sitting down in the living room, looking out the window. It was December 28, and it was snowing outside, about three feet of snow already on the ground. Daniella looked at Mark and began telling him about the premonitons she was having. "Mark, I don't even know if there's any sense to it", she told him. "Offgansnavel", he said quietly, "Is that even a word?" He turned to the window, fogging it up, and wrote what she told him on there. Daniella leaned over him and looked at the word. "There's only one thing it means", she said. "What's that?", he asked. Daniella turned to him slowly. "Offgansnavel. Mark, it's 'off Gan's navel'" Her heart began beating faster, for she was getting closer to the answer to these flashes in their minds. "Mark, what was yours?" "'Dan-tet', with a rose wrapped around a revolver with sandalwood grips, and white light bursting from the barrel. Why? What do you get now?", Mark asked. Daniella lept off the couch and ran up the stairs, Mark at her heels. They ran into the bedroom and she scooped up Roland. Mark burst into the room. "What?", he asked, "What is it??" She fell to her knees. "He's off Gan's navel", she though. "Mark, he's d..." She couldn't say it. Saying it would be final. Mark sat them down on the floor, arms around Daniella and Roland. And that's how they spent the entire night--sitting on the floor, with their dead child in their arms.
They buried Roland the next week, under a tree growing in their backyard. Mark spent the entire time making a tombstone and digging the grave; Daniella made the casket. They buried him on January 6, 2000. They weren't going back just yet. They were going to spend the rest of their time paying their respects and trying to get over the loss of ther first child. She would go down there every day, regardless of the weather, and would sit there for hours at a time, until Mark came out and brought her back inside. After that, life got somewhat more tense. Or different. She became more emotional, he became somewhat more calm. They grew to trust their senses, and even though there were no more premonitions after that, they would tell each other everything they didn't understand. The last day they had to themselves, both Mark and Daniella went down to their son's grave. Mark placed a single rose unto the gravestone. "May you rest in peace, son. I love you." "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came", she murmured, and slipped her hand into Mark's. He leaned down and kissed her forehead....then her mouth. Nighttime came, and they got to bed. Mark lay her down gently, dropping something into her hand. She opened it. "Morning after, if it does ya fine", he said. She wrapped her leg around him and pulled him towards himself, smiling. "Commala-come-come", she said. He got up over her, and for the first time since Roland Deschain Calaway was born, they made love.
The next morning, they got up and packed their bags and got dressed. Daniella went downstairs, got some JD and saw Mark standing by the door. She walked up to him, tipping the bottle into his hands. "No, love, you're not supposed to have any. That.." "I'm not taking it, Mark", she said, popping the top off the bottle. He looked at her, confused. "I think we can take one more chance, don't you?", she asked him. Mark looked down at her and smiled. "Yes, I think once more would be good." "Alrighty then. That's settled", she said, reaching up and kissing him. He returned the kiss and rubbed his beard against her cheek lightly, knowing it turned her on, then put his arm around her waist and locked it with hers. They had a bit of JD, then went on.

Note: I know some of you that have read this aren't going to be too happy with the ending, heck, neither am I, but it seemed the right way to end the story. I'll say it right here, I'm not making a Part IV, so don't ask. I'm done with this story. These parts are off-key, but that's alright, as I'm not an actual writer. I didn't plan on writing past Part II, but it didn't seem right to leave the story the way it was. I apologize if these stories seem pretentious.

Now, for the explanations. I'm going to give y'all a short definition of these words, and it's entirely up to you to go out and read all the books in Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. I'll tell you now, if you just go out and read one, it will seem very strange. You need to read all of the books, and in order to understand the whole story, no matter how pointless they seem; and yes, some of them WILL seem pointless, but it's the storyline of the whole book.

ka: destiny
tet: group
ka-tet: love; family; bound by destiny
dan-tet: little god/ruler
dinh: leader
childe: gunslinger; knight
gunslinger: one of the wolrds' (Old, Mid, Keystone and End) knights
Gan: God (in the Great Words/Letters of Gilead)
Dark Tower: the centre of the universe, or if you prefer, of all the worlds. It is held up by six Beams, some of them being the Beam of the Bear (Shardik), Turtle, Lion, Gan, etc.

I found this while searching up on The Dark Tower and Roland Deschain. This should help out a bit. It has most everyone and everything included in Roland's earlier life.
Dark Tower Character Bios

AFFILIATION: The political and military network that united the Baronies of Mid-World-that-was. The Affiliation was destroyed by the harrier John Farson a few years after Roland won his guns.
CUTHBERT ALLGOOD: Roland’s childhood friend and fellow gunslinger. Cuthbert was a constant joker, hence Roland called him ka-mai, or ka’s fool. Along with Alain Johns, Cuthbert accompanied Roland to the town of Hambry in the Barony of Mejis. Their adventures are recounted in the book Wizard and Glass.
BIG COFFIN HUNTERS: This is the group of harriers that Roland and his young friends, Cuthbert and Alain, battle in the town of Hambry. They work for the outlaw John Farson. The most dangerous of this group is the failed gunslinger, Eldred Jonas. Jonas is often described as a white-haired wolf.
MARTEN BROADCLOAK: Marten Broadcloak was Steven Deschain’s sorcerer, but he was also his betrayer. Marten had an affair with Gabrielle Deschain, Steven’s wife and Roland’s mother. He was a secret enemy of the Affiliation.
CORT: Roland’s teacher. Like his father Fardo, Cort taught generations of boys to be gunslingers.
CRIMSON KING: Although the Crimson King doesn’t enter the Dark Tower series directly until Wizard and Glass, his sigul-that of the staring red eye-is used by Gilead’s great enemy, John Farson. Hence, we can infer that Mid-World’s true enemy is this immortal agent of Chaos. The Crimson King plays a major role in the novel Insomnia.
SUSAN DELGADO: Roland’s one true love. He met her in the town of Hambry, in the Barony of Mejis. When they met, Susan was sixteen and Roland fourteen. Susan was eventually burned on a Charyou Tree fire. She was labeled as an enemy of the Affiliation, which she of course wasn’t.
GABRIELLE DESCHAIN: Roland’s mother. She had an affair with the court enchanter, Marten Broadcloak. Roland accidentally shot her.
ROLAND DESCHAIN: Roland is the hero of the Dark Tower series. He is his world’s last-and perhaps greatest-gunslinger. His quest is to find the Dark Tower, the nexus of the time/space continuum.
STEVEN DESCHAIN: Roland’s father. He was the leader of Gilead’s gunslingers and the direct descendant of the great Arthur Eld, King of All-World.
JOHN FARSON: John Farson was the harrier who brought down the Affiliation. During Roland’s youth, he was Gilead’s major enemy.
ALAIN JOHNS: Alain was one of Roland’s boyhood friends. He was also a fellow gunslinger. Along with Cuthbert Allgood, Alain accompanied Roland to the Outer Arc Barony of Mejis. Their adventures are recounted in Wizard and Glass.
OLD ONES (GREAT OLD ONES): They were the ancient people of Mid-World. They built great cities, tremendously powerful computers, and horrifically destructive weapons. Their wars poisoned Mid-World.
A man’s quest begins with a boy’s test.

In a world that has moved on, young Roland Deschain will one day be known as the Gunslinger-but for now, he is merely a boy on the cusp of manhood. For years, his fate has been manipulated by the sorcerer known as Marten Broadcloak, who serves the Crimson King-an immortal shape-shifter living only to destroy the legendary Dark Tower: the axis of creation upon which all worlds revolve. And for the Crimson King’s plans to succeed, Roland must be destroyed.

Roland and his friends, Alain and Cuthbert, uncover a plot by the evil John Farson (also a servant of the Crimson King) to destroy the Affiliation, the network that unites the world’s baronies and maintains an uneasy peace. But Roland has another mission on his mind-winning the heart of the beautiful Susan Delgado, who he met in Hambry, and who holds a secret of unspeakable horror...

For Roland, these are only the first steps on the road to the Dark Tower, where he will learn the true nature of his quest, and, perhaps, the secrets of existence itself.
