January 8th 2018, Balor Club with Amanda at ringside vs Seth/Roman/Jason with Yukie at ringside, 20 minutes earlier…
The Suicide Dive spot went wrong, Seth's brown eyes widening as Amanda was shaking from the pain.
"Keep going on with the match, I'm alright." Amanda responded as Finn, Karl and Luke helped her stand up, Jason preventing Yukie from checking on Amanda.
"You're supposed to be on our side, Yang! Don't worry about her!" Jason replied loudly.
'Stay in character.' Amanda mouthed, Yukie nodding and reluctantly staying back as Dr. Amann checked on her.
As Seth went to tag Roman, Jason accosted the referee and Karl and Luke hit Seth with the Magic Killer as Roman argued with Jason.
Amanda was sure that Jason's actions were intentional, that he was punishing her but wasn't sure why.
But when Finn, Karl and Luke won and Finn and Amanda hugged and kissed, Yukie and Seth saw bruises on Amanda's lower back, they turned to Jason in a rage.
"Don't worry about her, huh?! Look at her back, look at what I caused! And you said "Don't worry about her!"?! Jason, she's your friend too!" Seth yelled.
"She's fine! Let her boyfriend worry about her!" Jason replied dismissively, Roman going to punch him but the three were ambushed as Mike, Bo and Curtis ran at them.
The Miztourage were promptly chased off by a kendo stick wielding Yukie, who checked on Seth and Roman.
Yukie was hating this storyline and wished that Dean would come back soon…
Present time…
When Seth, Yukie and Roman found Amanda, she had a ice wrap around her back and the three knew she was going to say something important.
"Yukie, you're gonna have to take my spot in the Women's Royal Rumble… my tailbone is fractured." Amanda explained.
"Sorry, kiddo." Seth responded.
"It was an accident… but I'm just gonna say it, does anyone else feel like Jason preventing Yukie from checking on Mandy was intentional? Because I sure as hell do. He knows that Yukie used to be a nurse and that Mandy took a hell of a fall." Finn replied before he and Amanda kissed.
"I've gotta side with Finn, Jason knows Mandy's medical history as well." Karl responded.
"Pretty much everyone does at this point even if I say no hovering, that won't stop any of you, will it?" Amanda replied.
"Especially not me. Darlin', this is the third time in 3 ½ years that you've injured your back." Finn responded as he held her.
"I honestly hope Jason isn't punishing you and Finn for being together, kiddo." Luke replied.
"Same but I feel like he is." Amanda responded as she unstrapped the ice wrap from her and took it off so Dr. Amann could put a brace around her after she pulled her slightly oversized Balor Club Worldwide tank top up, Amanda readjusting it after the brace was locked on tight but not too tight.
And she and Finn embraced each other, Finn lightly stroking her hair before he cradled her face in his hands and brushed her tears away.
After walking into a hallway, Yukie and Seth stopped and looked at each other.
"I'm starting to think it was personal!" Both said simultaneously.
"Wait, you thought of it too?" Yukie questioned.
"Yes. He knows Mandy's medical history and stopped you from checking on her. It was an accident but still, I feel bad that I hurt her." Seth explained.
"Hey, me too. I was a nurse in the past, I could have done the same thing… But I didn't tell Mandy, that I'm not going to be in the Royal Rumble this year." Yukie explained.
"Everything okay, Babe?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. Just at the hotel, let's go check on Mandy." Yukie replied before they kissed and went to where Amanda and the others were.
They found Amanda and Finn in the locker room, the two kissing and holding each other as Finn was cleaned off and only wearing jeans and shoes.
"Get a room you two!" Yukie announced.
"Scared us." Amanda responded as Finn pulled his Balor Club shirt on.
"That one was for walking in on us the other day. I did the same thing to you two back." Yukie explained with her arms crossed.
"We didn't know you hadn't locked the door." Finn responded as he grabbed both his and Amanda's duffel bags.
At the hotel, Amanda was on a video chat with Sumire.
"Not so much the injury as it was Jason Jordan preventing Yukie from checking on me." Amanda responded, having to lie down on her side.
"Did your boyfriend hit him back for hurting you?" Sumire questioned.
"I tried finding Jason but he already ran for it." Finn replied.
"Of course he did… I don't know why people are against you two being each other." Sumire responded.
"We don't know either." Amanda replied as she was trying to stay awake.
"But one more thing, before you fall asleep on me, is Yukie okay? She's been acting different for the past few weeks." Sumire questioned.
"We've noticed that too. But she'll tell us soon." Amanda responded.
In their own hotel room, Seth sat down and Yukie had said "I know we didn't plan this but that's the thing about life, it doesn't always-"
Seth stood up and cut her off with a kiss, the two looking at each other afterwards.
"It doesn't always go to how we plan it." Seth replied as he rested his left hand on Yukie's stomach with a smile.
"Are… Are you okay with this, Seth?" Yukie questioned.
"Better than okay but… I think we should start planning a wedding first. I'm just old fashioned that way." Seth responded before they kissed again.
"Okay then. I'm so happy, Seth." Yukie replied, before hugging him.
When the two were asleep, Seth had his left hand resting on Yukie's stomach and was dreaming about what their baby would look like.
And when he woke up, he had a new understanding on why Finn and Amanda had started feeling the need to settle down.
