11/19/18…

Ashley Hardy smashed the driver's window on Dean's rental car before heading down to the trunk and started to carve Seth's logo into it.

"Mess with our shit I'll mess with yours." Ashley growled as she kept scratching the logo in.

She heard footsteps and looked up, seeing Amanda.

"Ash, what the hell are you doing?! Put that down! You can't fuck up someone's car, doesn't matter whose car it is!" Amanda replied, taking the keys… and Ashley turning furious at the pregnant brunette.

"This is Dean's car, I'm letting some good old stress out. Everyone had turned crazy so I figured, why don't I go crazy?!" Ashley responded.

"You're the only one who has gone crazy, no one else! Dean's playing mind games and you're the only one falling for it, do you see Seth vandalizing the car?!" Amanda responded angrily before she tossed the keys.

"Actually this was both our idea, he's in the middle of trying to lure Dean out front so I can bring the car around for him." Ashley explained.

"Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre already went off script tonight, you two really want to lose your jobs over some storyline?! Calm your asses down!" Amanda replied.

"Dean had gone unscripted one too many times or has your brain rotted enough from carrying that brat to forget those things?!" Ashley growled before Amanda punched her.

"You know what, Ashley Louise? Do whatever you want. You always do… don't come around me or my family, I don't want you there for mine and Finn's son." Amanda responded before she turned and stormed off, Ashley realising that she hurt Amanda.

Amanda reached the hallway and Finn saw tears in her eyes and ran to her before they hugged… at the same time, Seth stopped and walked over to them in a cautious manner.

"Have either of you seen Ashley?" Seth questioned, Amanda glaring at him.

"Not the Ashley I grew up with. She insulted mine and Finn's child, that bitch is not being Liam's godmother." Amanda responded angrily.

"Hang on what do you mean she insulted your son and where the hell is she?" Seth asked.

"She called mine and Mandy's son a brat! Your crazy girlfriend was keying Dean's car." Finn responded, Seth turning to Amanda.

"I'm telling you this Mandy. I don't know what's gotten into her lately. I'm sorry she acted like that." Seth replied.

"She feels like Mandy's abandoning her is what's gotten into Ash when in reality, Ash is shoving her away." Finn responded before he guided Amanda to the locker room.

"I don't know why I thought that she felt happy. Or why she insulted him and claimed that my brain is rotted." Amanda replied as she rested her right hand on her stomach and Liam kicked.

"I'm sure she didn't mean it Darlin'. She was just probably saying it in the heat of the moment." Finn responded as he rested his left hand under where Amanda's was… and Liam's kicks calmed down.

But Amanda was understandably upset…

Present time, 1/1/19…

Amanda heard a knock at the door and started to sit up to go answer it, Finn gently stopping her and the two kissing before he stood up to go answer it… and letting Seth in.

"No luck getting Ashley to even attempt an apology?" Finn asked after he closed the door.

"This is the longest that the two have gone without speaking to each other since Ash returned to WWE." Seth replied before both saw Amanda. "I know you're hurting, Mandy. But Ash is too." He responded.

"If she won't give an explanation as to why she lashed out, why should I try to talk to her? At least Yukie explained why she was initially upset, Ash needs to do the same." Amanda replied.

"So, you trust Yukie over Ash, after when she told you a sob story about her miscarriage? Really, Mandy?" Seth questioned.

"It wasn't a sob story, Yukie was honest with Mandy. Ashley, however, went off and insulted Liam and won't even apologise." Finn responded.

"But is she still mad with Mandy for getting pregnant?" Seth questioned.

"She's hurting but won't tell us why. See where I'm going with this, Ash shut me out. And hell, even you accepted it eventually, Seth." Amanda replied as Finn walked over, the two sitting down and him resting his right hand on her stomach before resting his left ear by it… and hearing Liam hiccuping as Seth texted Ashley.

'You are really missing out on Liam, since you've decided to be like this.'

'I'm sorry I flipped out at Mandy but how am I supposed to explain anything when she won't take a break in her maternity leave to show up at work?' Ashley responded.

'You expect her to come back to work? Ash, she has to prepare for the baby. Yukie had calmed down and now helping her as well. Try and come over to their house, and apologize. Or do you want to apologize over the phone now?'

"I don't think she should try to brave the traffic." Finn responded before Seth saw that there was ice on the roads and buildings and stalled traffic… and being that it was Brooklyn, this was normal during winter.

"Did you guys make it back here okay after New Year's Rockin Eve?" Seth asked.

"We stayed here instead of heading out to Times Square." Amanda responded.

"That's great. At least you're not outside in the snow, where bad things can happen at Times Square." Seth repiled.

After breakfast, Amanda and Finn got ready for the day and Amanda saw a text from Yukie.

'It's a madhouse here in Manhattan!'

'You're not fighting with other shoppers at Macy's again, are you?' Amanda replied.

'What makes you say that?' Yukie responded.

'Remember New Year's Day 2005 when you punched that security guard?' Amanda replied.

'Oh yeah, that was a fun time for me.' Yukie responded.

"She punched a security guard?" Finn asked after wrapping his arms around Amanda.

"Yeah, he had thought that I had stolen something." Amanda replied before they kissed.

And she thought back to what had happened after the fight.
