January 10th 2019…
Amanda had stopped throwing up and Finn helped her out of the restroom on the airplane, helping her sit down as Hunter stood up and walked over to them.
"Mandy, you feeling air sick, kiddo?" Hunter asked.
"I don't think it's that… never gotten air sick." Amanda responded as she drank some water and Finn lightly rubbed her right side.
"Maybe we should've brought that blue haired freak who used to be a nurse." Charlotte replied in a condescending tone.
"Cut it out, Charlotte!" Finn replied.
"Do you have an off switch somewhere, Charlotte? Because I think it's time that you press it and shut your mouth instead of calling Yukie and everyone else names, you brat!" Amanda responded, Charlotte startled at her aggravated tone and Hunter lightly rubbing Amanda's left shoulder.
"You might be coming down with a fever, kiddo." Hunter suggested.
"She just really pisses me off." Amanda replied as Finn checked her for a fever and found none.
"Temperature's normal." Finn responded.
"When we land, I think you should be checked out by a doctor." Hunter replied.
Amanda cringed a bit at that thought but Finn and Hunter knew it was out of her dislike of hospital, Finn lightly kissing his fiancee's right hand.
Hunter and Amanda hugged and Hunter went back to his seat, glancing at Charlotte.
"Please don't give her any more hell over Yukie leaving." Hunter responded.
"Not my fault that Mandy's been off kilter and getting aggravated over little things lately." Charlotte replied.
"Charlotte, if that was you going through the same thing like Yukie or Mandy, what would you do? You don't know, because you've remained heartless." Hunter explained.
"And you're not piecing it together. Mood changes, sickness… sounds like Mandy's pregnant." Charlotte replied quietly.
"Don't change the subject, Char." Hunter responded.
Back in their seats, Finn was lightly rubbing Amanda's right thigh.
"Don't let her get to you, Love." Finn replied quietly.
"For nearly 18 years, I've known her. Charlotte actually used to be nice but now it's all gone to her head and she's horrible to people who she doesn't consider to be on the same level as her." Amanda responded.
"If Yukie was here, she would have defended you as well." Finn whispered.
"Yeah…" Amanda responded as Finn held her to him, Amanda closing her eyes in a tired manner.
And Finn found himself thinking things over, trying to find a reason why Yukie left…
Present time…
The rented Traverse had to be stopped as Finn held Amanda's hair back as she threw up, Jordan Devlin looking back at his friends.
"Is she sick or something?" Jordan asked after Amanda had stopped throwing up and closed the sliding door on the passenger side.
"It was a rough flight over here." Finn responded as Amanda drank some water.
"Charlotte was running her mouth?" Jordan replied as he drove again.
"Yep, and even called out Yukie in front of us and Hunter." Finn responded.
"Hunter had gotten her to shut up. I question myself why I was ever friends with Charlotte to begin with." Amanda replied as she saw a text from Hunter.
'You three make it to the hotel safely?'
'Jordan had to pull over, I felt sick again.' Amanda responded.
'Have you got yourself checked out yet? Kiddo, I'm worried about you.'
'Haven't yet. I know, I'm stalling because you know how I am about hospitals.' Amanda responded as she looked through her calendar on her LG Aristo 3.
She had initially chalked up missing last month to stress… but now she wasn't so sure.
"Jordan, could you stop at a Walgreens, please?" Finn asked, Jordan nodding. "You've gotta know or it'll drive you crazy, Darlin'." He whispered to Amanda.
"You're right… the others are gonna flip their lids." Amanda responded quietly, Finn entwining his left hand with her right one.
"I'm here with you, Love. No matter what obstacles we face, I will still be here." Finn replied before they kissed.
At the hotel, Hunter was on a video call with Ric and had explained it.
"I'm so sorry that Charlotte's been antagonizing Mandy." Ric responded.
"Ever since she lost her title to Becky, she will never change. She was once nice to everyone, but doesn't look at them who is at her own level." Hunter explained.
"I guess it did get to her. Everything else okay?" Ric replied.
"Everything is set for the opening of the Performance Center here and even Blackpool. But there will be a surprise for Mandy and even everyone here in the UK." Hunter responded.
"Hopefully that surprise goes off without a hitch, old friend." Ric replied.
In their room, Amanda absentmindedly tapped her fingernails painted in Essie's Mind-Full Meditation with Essie's Mademoiselle layered over it against the table as she and Finn waited for the clock to tick down… and Finn lightly rubbed her shoulders.
"Hey, I'm nervous too, Darlin'." Finn responded before kissing Amanda's left cheek.
"I'm hoping we can hold off on telling the media for a while… not much is kept private nowadays." Amanda replied before the timer sounded and Amanda pressed the button to silence it… and picked up the two tests, their eyes widening and the two smiling before they hugged and kissed.
"We're going to be parents, Love." Finn responded as he still had his smile on his face.
"We are…" Amanda replied as Finn lightly rubbed her stomach. "There's a tiny human on the way… our little miracle." She responded before they kissed.
A few floors above, Yukie looked out at the snow… and smiled slightly.
"So great to be out here, instead of a hospital bed." Yukie whispered, before adjusting her long teal blue hair wig.
Looking at her Samsung Galaxy S9, she looked through pictures of her and Amanda.
'I wish I didn't say I was leaving WWE, making everyone cry for me… But I was getting weaker. But this time… things are going to change.' Yukie thought, before sitting down on the bed and unzipping her duffle bag to reveal some of her clothes and her anime style ring attires.
She knew starting over was what she needed.
