Two weeks ago…
"Well, I hope you're happy with yourself! Mandy's head is split open and her right shoulder is taped up!" Ashley responded.
"Ash, it was an accident!" Seth replied.
"Accident my ass! You promised me that you would change your behaviour towards her!" Ashley yelled.
"How can I try to be nice when she's flat out ignoring me?!" Seth shouted out of frustration.
"You treat her and Finn so damn badly, can you really fault her for wanting space?! Finn told me that Mandy doesn't feel safe around you!" Ashley shouted. "But I'm no longer going to be sitting around waiting for you to change. You and me are done, for good this time!"
Ashley stormed off and went to check on Amanda and Finn… when she pulled the curtain open, the bruised and stitched up brunette looked at her… Amanda's right arm was in a black sling and there were 10 stitches in her forehead from the Curbstomp.
"You okay?" Ashley asked quietly.
"Everything hurts…" Amanda responded as Finn held her.
"You're gonna be fine kiddo. He's not gonna hurt you or anyone again." Ashley said.
Amanda and Ashley hugged… and Amanda honestly hoped that things were calming down with Seth gone.
But that thought lingered at the back of her mind…
Present time, 9/21/15…
"Damn it, what the fuck is wrong with my crop top?!" Ashley muttered as she put on the red and orange crop top and finding it wasn't fitting properly.
"Ash, I think you might want to get it resized." Amanda responded gently, standing up and guarding her shoulder… the rotator cuff was bruised and Ashley knew it would be a while before she was cleared.
"This is the top I wear as Phoenix, it should fit. I've had this for god knows how long." Ashley said.
"Some of my Demon Mistress outfits don't fit at times. Maybe you're near your cycle this week." Amanda responded, Ashley nodding in agreement.
"Well at least now it does look like I have bit more of a chest instead of small boobs." Ashley said.
Amanda glanced at her phone, seeing a text from Finn.
"He's checking on me again… I'm gonna head back to the locker room." Amanda responded before they hugged, half of a hug in Amanda's case.
After Amanda left, Ashley checked her phone… counting the days on her calendar app, she saw that she was about 5 days late.
"Stupid stress." Ashley muttered.
She headed to the medical cabinet and grabbed a few tests.
'Just to rule it out.' Ashley thought.
Amanda walked into the locker room, her and Finn hugging… and he saw the worry in her eyes.
"I don't think Ashley will be wrestling tonight… and I don't think Seth used protection with her last time." Amanda responded, Finn turning startled.
"You don't actually think that do you?" Finn asked.
"He's a damn idiot at times. Leighla had scares before because Seth didn't use protection with her every time." Amanda responded, Finn helping her sit down. "Matt and Jeff are gonna fucking lose their minds… I wouldn't blame Ashley one bit if she hires a lawyer and strips Seth of his parental rights." She muttered as Finn lightly ran the fingers on his right hand through her shoulder length hair.
"If the courts deem him unfit, that could happen. And with how he's been unwilling to control his anger, that'll hurt his chances of joint custody." Finn responded.
"Courts take that serious to try to prevent domestic and child abuse… I don't think he'd hurt a child but Ashley's not gonna risk her baby's safety." Amanda replied as Finn held her close to him.
At the same time, Ashley looked at the tests… and all three read Positive in their display screens.
'Hunter, I can't compete tonight.'
'I knew something was off. Okay, you take the night off and tell me everything later.' Hunter replied.
'Yeah will do.' Ashley texted, before she wiped a couple tears away.
It was as Seth was watching Raw that he saw that it was Alicia Fox in what he knew was Ashley's match against Becky… and headed to Hunter's office, walking in.
"Problem, Seth?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah why isn't Ashley in that ring?" Seth asked.
"You did hurt her Seth and when she's hurt she lashes out. She's not competing because she's doesn't feel right at the moment." Hunter said.
Seth nodded and left… and sent out a text to Amanda.
Only to receive an automated text message that his number was blocked.
"That's a big sign to back off."
Seth turned around, seeing Luke.
"What are you spying on me now?!" Seth demanded.
"Watch your tone, I can quite easily throw you through a wall. Got a question, why do you care if Ashley is in the ring or not?" Luke said.
"I still care about her!" Seth responded.
"Well the last person you claimed to care about now has her arm in a sling and had stitches in her head. Accidental force, my ass, you enjoyed hurting Mandy and making her scream!" Luke replied.
"She overreacted to get Finn's attention! I bet she's faking the severity of her shoulder injury!" Seth yelled, Luke grabbing him by his right ear and making Seth yell out in pain.
"Wanna see fake? Then you better go grab a mirror boy!" Luke said, yelling the last part.
A sickening thud echoed, making Finn and Amanda jump.
"Yeah, someone just got thrown through a wall…" Amanda responded quietly.
"Yeah don't piss off the one man who brought Braun down to his knees." Finn said.
"And that was in a eight man tag match." Amanda replied as Finn held her before they stretched out on the couch.
It was later at the hotel that Amanda was having trouble settling into sleep… and Finn knew it was from her injury.
But he also knew it was from all the chaos that had happened.
"What if he tries to take the baby from her?" Amanda responded quietly.
"Ashley would kill him first before he gets to her baby." Finn said.
"She would… I just don't understand why he didn't think to use protection. Ashley's on birth control but it could've failed…" Amanda replied, Finn lightly rubbing his hand up and down her back.
"You're right, Seth is an idiot. He never thinks things through." Finn responded.
"I don't think they'll be able to get along for the baby's sake… it's not how it was before." Amanda replied, Finn kissing her on the top of her head before they closed their eyes.
And he knew that Ashley had no intentions on telling Seth.
