WWE Raw, 7/30/18…
"In all honesty, the only person he tolerates is Mrs. Balor!" Paul responded before he stopped and smirked. "Mandy! Mandy Balor, get your pretty butt out here!" He shouted and heard her entrance music, Amanda turning confused.
She gave Paul a questionable look and looked to Kurt with Finn and Yukie following her and helping her into the ring.
"Look, she really shouldn't be out here." Finn responded.
"Yeah, she's… not feeling well." Yukie explained.
"With all respect, she's the only one who can talk sense into Brock and save my job!" Paul responded before he approached Amanda, who had turned wary… and then startled as Paul dropped to his knees, arms around her legs. "Please help me, say something to convince him!" He begged, Amanda trying to pull Paul's arms off of her… but she lost her balance.
Finn caught her from falling, Kurt dragging Paul to him.
"Are you out of your damn mind?!" Kurt yelled as Finn and Yukie helped steady a shaken Amanda, who instinctively rubbed her stomach.
"We're okay, we're okay." Amanda whispered before they saw Brock, Finn getting Amanda out of the ring.
"You've got a problem with me?!" Brock responded, getting in Kurt's and Baron's faces… before all hell broke loose.
Brock snatched Kurt up and hit him with the F5, snatching Paul's right arm and locking him in the Kimura lock before the sickening break echoed and Paul screaming in pain.
"Oh fuck!" Yukie exclaimed as she and Baron got out of the ring.
Amanda's eyes widened in horror as Finn held her.
"Stay behind me, love." Finn whispered, putting Amanda behind him as Brock left the ring and looked at them… before he narrowed his eyes at Finn and then left.
In the backstage area, Yukie followed Brock… who grabbed Mike Rome by his throat and said "I don't have any thoughts on Roman Reigns! At Summerslam, I'm kicking his ass!".
He then threw the interviewer and left, Yukie going and helping Mike up.
"You okay?" Yukie asked, Mike nodding.
"He looked like he wanted to rip Finn's limbs off out there after what happened… Brock's gone mental." Mike responded.
"He doesn't even care anymore about WWE." Yukie explained.
"He can go back to UFC then." Amanda replied after she and Finn reached them.
"I… in all honesty, I think he knew about Mandy being pregnant the second she didn't try to pull Kurt out of harm's way. Parents first instinct is to protect their child." Finn responded as he held Amanda close to him and rested his right hand on her stomach.
'Brock has known Mandy since she was 11… he's got to start seeing her as grown.' Yukie thought.
But she had a feeling it would take time… and in that time that things would change…
Present time, 10/8/18…
"Happy birthday, pal. And give your little girl a hug and kiss from her aunt, Mikey." Amanda responded before she and Mike hung up and Amanda rubbed her growing baby bump.
She was 14 weeks along now but not too many people knew… but she had a feeling that someone was going to tell the audience before she and Finn could tonight.
Amanda read the Raw script but then heard Seth and Yukie outside in the hallway.
"Look, you will know why she hasn't been wrestling lately at the same time that everyone else knows. That's just how she and Finn are as a couple, Seth. Remember, they didn't publicly admit their relationship until mid last year." Yukie explained as she adjusted her elbow pads.
"The sooner, the better. You almost dislocated your right shoulder last week. In what was supposed to be her match against Ruby." Seth responded.
"Ruby's been a little miss crazy pants lately." Amanda muttered before opening the door.
"Yeah, you better let me fight this time. We don't want nothing to happen to you." Yukie explained, smoothing out her skull and lollipops shirt.
Yukie and Amanda hugged before Yukie and Seth kissed and she left… and Seth noticed the absence of Amanda's Shield gear, Amanda in a pair of jogger pants and an oversized ivory thermal tank top.
"You decided to be comfortable tonight?" Seth questioned.
"Yeah. Shield gear was getting to the point where it was pinching me. Hey, have you seen Kurt?" Amanda answered.
"He's probably backstage, yelling in Baron's ear." Seth answered.
"Hopefully." Amanda responded before Finn walked over and she and Finn kissed before Seth left. "Don't do anything stupid tonight, Seth!" She called out, Seth responding with a shrug before he left.
"Nervous?" Finn responded before wrapping his arms around Amanda.
"With this crowd, yes." Amanda replied before Raw started off with Baron… and the Chicago crowd chanting for CM Punk before Baron had started to speak.
"Yeah, he's never coming back, so chill!" Baron responded, the crowd booing him.
"Never piss the crowd off." Amanda replied before Baron had mentioned a slight twist in Finn's match tonight… a twist that unnerved both Finn and Amanda.
"Instead of tiny little Finn Balor, it'll be his much shorter wife in tonight's-" Baron responded before the crowd cheered when they heard Kurt's entrance music go off and Kurt walk out there before he got in the ring.
"No, Baron. You're not gonna be putting Mandy in a match tonight or any other night." Kurt replied.
"Then why the hell not? She hasn't even fought in a long time, instead using Yukie as a replacement." Baron questioned.
"You don't know… okay, you really want a pregnant woman wrestling in this ring?!" Kurt replied, Baron's eyes widening in shock and anger.
"She's pregnant?! By tiny Finn Balor?!" Baron questioned once more.
"Yep. Baby Balor will be here in 5 ½ months." Kurt replied.
"Well, the secret's out now…" Finn responded before he and Amanda kissed.
The fans cheered like maniacs… and Seth turned from the Tv, closed his eyes and growled through gritted teeth, thankful he was alone at the moment.
At the same time in their own home, Phil and April Brooks could not look away from the Tv.
The shock they felt was more than they anticipated.
