February 6th 2019…
"You can't be serious, you just want to pick up and leave?!" Amanda responded.
"I am serious, Mandy. I don't really feel okay, alright? Just get off my back for 5 seconds about it." Yukie responded, as she started packing up her PS4 and her collector's edition of Tokyo Ghoul. "You want the regular DVDs or the Blu-Ray ones?" She asked after opening it up.
"What I want is an explanation." Amanda replied.
"Fine then, I'll watch it again on Hulu. Like I said, I really, really don't feel alright. You know not myself, Mandy." Yukie responded as she placed the collector's edition box in Amanda's hands. "That's yours to keep, even though me and you paid over 100 dollars for it." She explained.
"I feel like you're running away from me and your niece or nephew." Amanda responded, carefully placing the DvD set on the dresser.
"I'm not, Mandy. I will call and check on you, but for now, I need my space." Yukie repiled, as she started packing up her Tokyo Ghoul shirts. "When your baby is born, you can easily fit into my shirts. Which one you want to keep? One with Touka? One with Juuzou Suzuya or Kaneki?" She asked.
"Touka…" Amanda responded, Yukie handing her the shirt and lightly rubbing Amanda's still flat stomach.
"Don't cause any trouble in there, you." Yukie replied before she left with her things.
It was after Yukie was gone that Amanda walked into the master bedroom… gently setting the things aside, she stretched out on the king sized bed and hugged the pillow to her as she cried.
Having set the spinach alfredo pizza and chicken eggrolls downstairs, Finn walked upstairs and into the room… and knew from his wife's saddened expression that Yukie had left, Finn walking over and holding Amanda in his arms after stretching out next to her.
"You okay, Love?" Finn asked.
"I want my best friend back… now I know how she felt when I left 13 ½ years ago." Amanda replied.
"She's going to come back, right?" Finn asked, before pulling her close.
"I hope so…" Amanda responded as they sat up and stood up before heading downstairs to eat.
But neither knew when they would see Yukie again…
Present time, April 6th 2019…
Cameras followed after them until they reached the Altima and got into it before they drove off… and Finn saw the look on Amanda's face, knowing that she was sick of the media hounding after them.
"They're never gonna leave us alone." Amanda replied after they had stopped at a red light, Finn resting his right hand on her swollen stomach as he knew that things had been in overdrive since they announced the impending arrival of their child last night on NXT: TakeOver: New York.
Since she was at 4 months, it was getting harder to hide it.
"If Yukie was here, she would have made them leave." Finn responded.
"She would've…" Amanda replied, looking out at the Brooklyn skyline.
"Have you even talked to her? Called her or whatever?" Finn asked.
"She disconnected her number." Amanda responded as she readjusted her white floral printed kimono blouse.
"What about Twitter? She's still active on there." Finn repiled, as he held her close.
"She won't respond." Amanda responded, squirming a bit as Finn knew she was feeling sore again.
"We're almost home, Darlin'." Finn replied.
"We still have to prepare for Wrestlemania Axxess… it feels weird not being at the Hall Of Fame ceremony this year but they're only inducting two members of the Hart Foundation when all five should be inducted. Is it wrong to be angry at Martha for preventing them from inducting Owen? He was her husband but I feel like he belongs in the Hall Of Fame with his family." Amanda responded, Finn leaning in and the two kissing.
"I believe so too, Love. All of them should have been inducted, not just those two." Finn repiled.
"It's hard on Natalya as well… I called her earlier and she sounded like she'd been crying." Amanda responded before she grabbed her LG Aristo 3 and saw a text from Hunter.
'I don't want to alarm you but one of our interviewers is getting a little aggravated.'
'Why? What happened?' Amanda replied, stretching as best as she could.
'We switched her to cover the ceremony instead of Axxess and she's not happy.'
"Well what could he really do? Plans change all the time." Finn responded.
"True. We know which one it is too, does she honestly expect me to try to stand up straight for too long? I lean against you when my body starts hurting, it's normal to." Amanda replied as they reached the brownstone and Finn switched the engine off after parking the car, Finn helping Amanda out of it and the two walking into the brownstone before Finn closed and locked the door… and Finn massaging her back when they sat down, Amanda letting a contented smile show as the aching faded. "Much better, thank you." She responded as Finn's arms wrapped around her and his hands rested on her stomach before they kissed… and Finn saw her glancing at the Keurig machine, knowing that she missed caffeine.
"Anytime, Lovely. And we need to take your lumbar pillow with us later, you need to be comfortable." Finn replied.
"As comfortable as I can be nowadays, our little one's growing so fast." Amanda responded.
After fixing her nails with Cote No.99 nail polish, Amanda had closed the bottle and washed her hands once the polish had dried.
She checked her phone when it chimed and saw that she had gotten a Twitter alert and clicked on it… and saw that Yukie had retweeted the picture of the press following Finn and Amanda and a caption reading 'Would you vultures just let them be? They're just trying to live their life!'.
'We just wish you would reconnect with us… we miss you.' Amanda thought.
She was feeling like the baby would never get to know its aunt.
