Chapter 1: Maid of Honor
Their week of vacation had finally ended, and Justin and Natalya had rejoined the Raw live tour. After their flight landed in Cleveland, Ohio, they headed towards to the Quicken Loans Arena for Monday Night Raw. It was at the live event that Natalya would debut her engagement ring. She wanted to see who all would notice, so she decided that she was not going to say anything.
To Natalya, it felt refreshing to be walking backstage with Justin again. It could have been the pregnancy or the fact that she was now an engaged woman, she did not care. She was happy.
"I think my locker room is this way, but I still need to find the match board." Justin said, looking around.
"While you do that, I'm going to find Beth. I have not talked to her since the day we left for Cape Town. When I am done talking to her, I will come and find you." Natalya said as she kissed Justin and went the opposite direction as him.
Taking her time, she walked around backstage and said hello to anyone who she knew. As she approached the catering area, she could hear the distinct voice of the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. Walking towards the doorway, she saw her best friend walk out. Beth looked right at Natalya and ran straight towards her, grabbing her up in a hug.
"When did you and Justin get back?" Beth asked, finally letting Natalya go.
"We landed in New York around noon and then we just landed here in Cleveland about two hours ago. Just enough time to take our stuff to the hotel and get here."
"I'm glad you're back, it just hasn't been the same without the two of you."
"It feels good to be back." Natalya said with a smile.
"So tell me, what did Justin say when you told him about the baby?"
"Let's just say, the man knows how to outdo people."
"I don't get it?"
Natalya just laughed and used her left hand to scratch her head. Beth's eyes locked in on her ring finger and bulged slightly.
"Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes it is!"
"Oh my god, when did this happen?"
"On top of Table Mountain after I told Justin that I was pregnant."
"So that's what you meant by him being able to outdo people, huh?"
Natalya nodded and could not stop smiling as Beth grabbed her left hand to get a better look at the ring.
"Wow! This is gorgeous! So tell me, how exactly did he ask you to-"
"Whoa! Hold on a second Beth; let's go to your locker room and talk. I don't want certain people to overhear."
Beth gave a confused look. Natalya just rolled her eyes with a chuckle.
"I don't want Kelly Kelly or Heath to know about this quite yet." She whispered.
The light bulb went off in the Glamazon's head as she realized what Natalya meant and she started leading the way towards her locker room. Down the hall and a few corner turns later, they walked into Beth's room.
"Okay, so tell me how he popped the question." Beth insisted as soon as the door closed.
Natalya grinned as she walked over to sit down on the couch. Beth was right behind her, waiting to hear what happened in Cape Town.
"After we made it to his mother's house and got somewhat settled in, he offered to take me to Table Mountain to hike a bit. Once up there, Beth you should have seen it, the view was breathtaking. I noticed that he was not next to me so I looked for him. He was standing behind me, just leaning up against a rock. I told him that I just needed to come out and say what I had been hiding from him, so I just flat out said that I was pregnant. He was shocked to say the least and then he just dropped to one knee. He asked me to marry him in Afrikaans and after asking what he had just said, I told him yes!"
"That has to be the sweetest thing I have ever heard. So when do you find out more about the baby?"
"I have an appointment to find out how far along I am within the next few days, so we will go from there."
"Ahh! I'm so excited for you and Justin, it's crazy!"
"Believe me, we are excited too!"
"So have you figured out when you are getting married?"
"We haven't really talked about it much. We did decide on the fact that we want to get married before the baby comes, so it'll be within the next few months."
"Wow, you have a lot of planning to do then don't you?"
"Yes I do, and I was wondering something. Beth you have been my best friend here in the WWE and my sister of destruction for the longest time. You have also been there for me after everything with Tyson, Heath and then the drama that happened with Justin and I am so thankful for it. I was wondering if you would be my maid of honor."
Beth's eyebrows raised in shock as a smile spread across her face. She instantly attacked Natalya with another hug.
"Should I take that as a yes?"
"Yes of course! Now where is Justin, I wanna congratulate him too!"
"Good question. I didn't wait around to find out where his locker room or the match board is."
"Well, I know where the board is, and I'm pretty sure we can find out which room is his. Let's go." Beth said as she stood up and crossed the room towards the door.
"Do you have a match tonight?"
"Yup, it's a championship match against the newly turned heel Eve Torres. Creative didn't give us a scripted ending, so it could go either way but I do have a slight advantage with my secret weapon."
Now it was Natalya's turn to be confused.
"What do you mean?"
"You'll just have to watch and see." Beth said as she opened the door.
"Whatever, let's just go and find my fiancé okay?" Natalya said with a smile.
Her smile quickly disappeared as she looked away from Beth to see that Kelly Kelly was walking past talking with Heath Slater. They stopped and just stared at her, obviously hearing what she had just said. Natalya was rooted to her spot, not knowing what was going to happen.
