Apologies first, I'm sorry things got a bit held with school and personal problems, plus writer's block. And a congratulations is in order for Brie and Daniel Bryan, who got married this past week. And another congrats Aj and CM Punk, who are engaged, I thought this was just a rumor made up by an obsessive fan, but obviously that ring on her finger is the real deal. Also, I see TD has started off rocky, Summer looks like she'll be trouble so I guess it's not Eva anymore, ha.
Anyway, this is a new story I've been thinking whether to post or not, it's based off when John told Nikki that he didn't want marriage or kids. So I decided to make something out of it and got an idea for it. Now, like I said this is just a sample chapter to see if any of you like it, if so then you get more, if no then delete it...so enjoy, leave comments.
It was a nice day outside. A warm, soft breeze blowing through the window of her townhome. She typed away on the computer, taking small sips of coffee every now and then. For Nicole, life seemed to be going at a nice steady pace. It's been a year since she left WWE, her sister Brie was still there working as a solo performer and she couldn't be any more proud of her. Since leaving, she's been doing well as a real estate agent in California. She always had a back up plan if she ever left wrestling, but of course she knew of the rumors swirling on the dirt sheets for her reason of leaving.
She broke out of her thoughts when she heard a cry coming from upstairs. Nicole quickly got up from her chair and upstairs to see what was the matter. She opened the door to the nursery and walking over to the source of the cry. She smiled gently down at the baby boy as his face scrunched up and tiny arms flailing. She picked him up, patting his back softly as the cries turned into whimpers.
"It's ok sweetheart, I'm here." she cooed to her baby. She brought him over to the changing table, giving him a clean diaper. Afterwards, a warm bottle was made and Nicole sat the couch, cradling her son close to her as she fed him his bottle. The connection she felt with her baby was a warm, natural feeling, a feeling that she felt since the nurses laid him on her chest after checking him over.
If anyone asked why Nikki Bella asked for her release, this is the reason why. Several months ago before leaving, Nicole found out she was pregnant. As it was a happy moment, it was also difficult. John Cena, her boyfriend of two years, made it clear that he didn't want marriage or kids. It shocked Nikki, she could understand why he didn't want to get married again, his first one had proven to be unhappy, but no kids? This was a guy, whose biggest fans were kids and not mention the work he did for Make-a-Wish. As much as Nikki was disappointed to hear him say that, she kept on a poker face and went along with it.
Then one night as they were home relaxing on their weekend off, a black out hits Tampa. With no electricity, John and Nikki decided to make due with what they had; light some candles, two glasses and a bottle of red wine. A few glasses later, came a heavy make out session followed by passionate love making. Few days later, Nikki was experiencing symptoms; nausea, hormones and hunger pangs. She took a pregnancy test and it was confirmed. Nicole was thrilled, she always talked about becoming a mom one day, but it was short lived when the thought came to her head: John did not want any children. All negative thoughts rushed to her head, what if he thinks that she did this on purpose? Or skipped out on her birth control to trap him. What was she going to do? John was very stern when they were on this topic the last time.
I won't get married again and I won't have kids.
End of discussion.
What Nicole planned to do next, people would say was cowardly, but it was the only way she felt that needed to be done; break up with John. She knew there was no way hiding her pregnancy from him if she decided to stay and she knew the possibility of him kicking her out, so it was leave before he told her to.
When John got home that day, he saw her sitting on the couch with her luggage packed. Nicole told him that she thought about the conversation they had about marriage and kids and decided that she really wanted to become a mother. The look on John's face was expressionless, but she knew what he was thinking, so she went on telling him.
I want to have kids and since you respect my decision, I respect yours so I'm doing what I think is best for us...goodbye John.
She gave him one last kiss, before grabbing her bags and walking out the front door of what used to be their home, but is now back to John's home. As she got in the car, Nicole looked back at the house, the house where, if John changed his mind, they could've raised their unborn child. Tears spilled down her face as she started the car up and drove away.
The next time she came into work, she sat down with Stephanie and Paul asking them for her release. When asked why, Nicole didn't tell them her pregnancy, but she that she wanted to start her career as a real estate agent as she got accepted into the firm that gave her first house to sell. Paul and Steph tried to talk some sense into her, giving offers, but she declined and they wished her best in the future. Nicole had already told Brie and Bryan beforehand and also telling them her huge secret.
Nicole quickly walked out of the arena, but as she got into the car she looked across the parking lot seeing John's bus. The door opened and he stepped out, but Nikki saw that he wasn't alone. She saw Eva Marie coming out after him, straightening her clothes out. Nikki felt her heart hurt seeing how he moved on quickly and to all people, Eva. Shaking her head she drove off and flew back to San Diego, where she was scheduled for a doctors appointment.
And now, here she is as the months had flown by. She stayed with her mom, then found her own place, preparing everything for when the baby arrives. Nicole made sure things were in order, she kept herself very hidden from the public, having seen no pictures of herself up on the dirt sheets yet, but she has seen the headlines: John Cena and Nikki Bella Called it Quits!, Bella asked for WWE Release, Cena had Bella fired for Breaking up with Him, and the new one: John Cena Hooks up with Red Haired beauty, Eva Marie!
Nicole saw the pictures of them together, seeing how John pretty much spoiled Eva like he used to do her. But what was different is that Eva posted up every new thing John brought her. Nikki brushed it off, why should she be upset she ended their relationship, but it would be a lie if she said she doesn't think about him all the time day and night, mostly at night, when she cries herself to sleep wishing so much that she told John about the baby, but kept remembering their conversation, which was why she made that decision she did.
Then the day comes, Nicole gives birth to a baby boy. Gabriel Colace was born at eight pounds and ten ounces. She cried tears of joy at the first sight of him, he had her complexion, but as for facial features it was all John. From eye shape, eye color to the nose, mouth, eyebrows and ears. It broke her heart at how much Gabe looked like the man she once called and still considered her love.
So much has happened within the year, from breaking up with John, leaving WWE to becoming a single mother and having a career in real estate. Of course, Nicole has help from her mom, brother, Brie and Bryan, who are the only people that know about the baby. They helped set up the nursery, bought pampers, clothes, the crib and everything while Nicole was in the hospital.
She looked down at Gabriel with loving eyes. She couldn't describe the feeling that overcame her whenever she holds him in her arms. The first time she bought him home, she couldn't put him down, always checking on him every minute to make sure he's ok and comfortable. While it was joyous to see her baby's face everyday, it also brought tears to her eyes. Gabe looked so much like John, even making the same facial expressions as him. Nicole always had second thoughts about her decision, wondering if it was the right choice to make. There were days, where she thought about calling him, but then again that would cause a huge firestorm and bring a lot of attention, not only to her, but Gabriel. People starting rumors that he wasn't John's, that Nicole was just trying to get child support money and then pictures of Gabe spreading all over the internet, she couldn't let that happen as he was just a baby.
After giving him his bottle and burping him, Nicole just held him, running a finger down Gabe's soft cheek, she kissed him on the head, running her fingers delicately through his soft tuft of brown hair. She watched as his eyes start to droop. God, his eyes, those gentle, ocean blue eyes that were an exact copy of his father's. Nicole stood, walking back upstairs to Gabe's nursery to put him back down. She placed him gently back in his crib, placing the pacifier in his mouth. She stood over him, looking at him with nothing, but love as she watched Gabe fall asleep. Right now, taking care of Gabriel was Nicole's main priority and making sure her baby is raised healthy and happy.
She sighs. "I wish your daddy could see you right now, he would love you just as much as I do." She held back her tears as she rubbed his cheek, before walking out his room, going back to the computer.
