"Yukie Shirabuki… is that really you?" Edge replied as Yukie stopped.
"Holy hell… Edge! I can't believe that you're here!" Yukie exclaimed after turning around to face him.
"Give me a hug, kid!" Edge replied before they embraced each other and he looked at her. "Damn, you grew up so fast." He responded as they let go.
"We all did." Yukie replied.
"Yep. Hey, I heard about tension surrounding the Crown Jewel event, are most of the guys really not going?" Edge responded.
"Yeah, after what happened to one of the US journalists. I'm not even going, but I'm not so sure about Evolution." Yukie explained.
"You really wanted that match against Mandy…" Edge replied.
"Yeah, just for once so I can show her that I'm not the same girl that she grew up with. But not I'm sure I can do that." Yukie responded.
"Look, it'll just have to wait til she's back in ring shape after the baby. You know motherhood means everything to Mandy." Edge replied.
"Yeah, everything to throw away." Yukie responded.
"Sit down, kid." Edge replied before they sat down. "What's going on? You seemed happy when Mandy announced her pregnancy." He responded.
"Yeah, but it ain't me anymore. I hate this! I feel like I'm losing her because she couldn't keep her legs crossed!" Yukie replied angrily.
Edge turned and him and Yukie saw Amanda… before she turned and left, tears in her eyes.
"Aw, damn." Edge muttered as he knew that look way too well.
"Are we done here? Cause I hope she heard it loud and clear, fucking bitch!" Yukie questioned, before shouting out the last part and Edge left to go find Amanda.
At the same time, Teddy caught up to Yukie.
"Baby girl, was all that yelling you?" Teddy asked.
"Yeah, so what?" Yukie questioned.
"Then you've got some apologising to do to your oldest friend. Mandy's not gonna stop a dream to make anyone happy, that's not her." Teddy replied.
"Well, she can go ahead and have her dream. Like she made me throw away everything for this… and even our friendship for a long time." Yukie explained, before leaving.
She had barely opened the locker room door before she yelled out as her duffel bag hit her and knocked her down.
"Mandy-" Yukie replied after she pulled herself up.
"Fuck off!" Amanda screamed.
"Oh me fuck off, huh?" Yukie retorted, before throwing her hairbrush at her and Amanda ducking. "Just how you couldn't keep your legs crossed and our friendship got thrown away?!" She yelled.
"I wanted a miracle and I got him! You don't like that, what kind of friend are you?!" Amanda shouted before Edge and Finn reached the locker room and Edge pulled Yukie away and closed the door as Finn held Amanda and kissed her before he rubbed her stomach and felt Liam moving.
Edge dragged Yukie over his shoulder to the GM's office, startling Paige when he put Yukie on the couch.
"Baby girl, what happened?" Paige asked after helping Yukie to her feet.
"I was just… telling Edge my real feelings about Mandy… and I just exploded the truth! Which I felt like doing. Damn, I needed that." Yukie explained.
"You're not being fair to Mandy, this could possibly be the only baby that she and Finn have… Yukie, I know how it feels to lose a child, I never got to hold mine." Paige explained.
"You don't know anything about me, Paige!" Yukie retorted.
"I know you're upset that your plans were put off. But that happens in life." Paige replied.
"My life turned into complete hell when Mandy left. And she doesn't know what I am capable of. I just want to get my hands on her neck and shake the damn life out of her. Let me go or someone will end up with intensive care." Yukie explained, before her own head started to twitch.
"Security!" Paige called out, Yukie seeing Bradshaw and Farooq walk into the room and grabbed Yukie before they took her out of there…
Present time, 2/4/19…
Yukie walked around the Barclays Center looking for Finn and Amanda… and found Kurt when she couldn't find them.
Having been working with the creative team as well, Yukie had an idea for the couple to be here.
"Where are they?" Yukie questioned.
"On leave. Given that Mandy's nine months pregnant, it makes sense to be so both can prepare for their new family life." Kurt answered.
"So? I needed them here." Yukie responded.
"No, you just wanted to stress Mandy out, hoping something would happen to Liam." Kurt replied as Hiroki walked in. "Do something about your sister. The health of an unborn kid takes priority over an event." He explained.
"Do you know what is going to happen if he talks to me?" Yukie questioned, before Hiroki turned worried.
"I better not mess with her, Kurt. Sorry." Hiroki responded, before leaving.
"Look, Mandy is due any day now. I can't legally keep her or Finn from going on leave, Yukie, I'd actually get fired for that." Kurt replied.
"Stephanie was thinking about firing you, since you've been on leave and you're worried about that, Angle?!" Yukie questioned.
"You refuse to understand that your friend grew up and is moving into the next part of her life. Yukie, life goes on… do you really want to miss out on that little boy taking his first steps, saying his first word? I missed out on that with my oldest child and I regret it every day." Kurt explained.
"You think I wanted life to go on? I never grew up, Kurt. I stopped growing up the day Mandy left me for new life. She knew that I wasn't going to survive high school and the new world ahead of me. But when Hunter found me while I was still a nurse, he gave me a contract that was going to change my life for good. I went along with it, but I never expected to see Mandy once again. I just don't care anymore. They can forget about me… If they want me to be a part of that demon in human form's life, which it will never happen after when I spilled out my true feelings back on SmackDown 1000, screw them." Yukie explained, before she left.
It was at the apartment not too far from the arena that Amanda was on the phone with Seth just before he was scripted to go out there and fight with Dean.
"Yukie's pissed." Seth responded.
"I'm not budging on this, Seth, I…" Amanda replied before she cringed and lightly rubbed her stomach as she tried to stay standing.
"Are you okay? If it's about her, we don't have to talk about it." Seth explained.
"No, it's not…" Amanda responded before she looked down to see water between her legs. "Finn!" She yelled out, Finn running back into the apartment and his eyes widened before he helped her sit down and went to grab the baby bag.
"It's happening, isn't it?!" Seth asked.
"Yeah, this little boy wants out and he's not waiting!" Amanda responded before Finn helped her up and out of the apartment.
"Sorry about having to miss out on the fighting tonight, Seth." Finn explained once the phone was in his hand and Amanda breathed in and out.
"Listen, just stay calm. Do you want me to be up there with you, since Yukie doesn't give a damn?" Seth questioned.
"Please? And bring everyone that you can." Amanda requested.
"I will." Seth responded before they hung up. "Dean!" He shouted, Dean running to him.
"Is it time?!" Dean asked.
"Yes, let's go, let's go!" Seth responded before they ran off.
