11/20/18…

Amanda opened the room door and Yukie walked in.

"Ashley's got a black eye." Yukie replied after closing the door.

"Good, she shouldn't have called mine and Finn's child a brat and claimed that my brain is rotted!" Amanda responded, Yukie going wide eyed.

"That was you for did that? Wow, I never expected that from a pregnant woman, let alone you." Yukie repiled, Amanda giving her a warning look and Yukie backing off. "Sorry." She responded.

"Seth said he'd talk to her but I don't know if he's had any luck." Amanda responded as she rubbed her stomach. "Sorry if I'm a little on the hormonal side, this little guy didn't settle down at all last night." She replied as Yukie rested her right hand on Amanda's stomach and felt Liam kick against her hand.

"It's alright. It's normal for pregnant women. You should be getting lots of rest you know." Yukie explained.

"I know." Amanda replied as Finn walked in, followed by Dean.

"It was your car that she was destroying Dean, you talk to that woman!" Finn responded after setting the breakfast food down and him and Amanda kissing.

"I'll try but she's pissed after being punched." Dean replied.

"Well she shouldn't have been a bitch." Amanda responded as she ate her sausage biscuit, Dean turning startled.

"Dean, calm down. We heard her cuss before." Yukie repiled.

"I know but she's never struck Ashley." Dean responded.

"Never mess with an angry mama bear." Finn replied.

"Yeah, they can get vicious and angry in a snap." Yukie explained.

"I would rather be in a fight with Bray Wyatt than locked in a room with a very angry woman." Dean responded as he walked over and crouched down, rubbing Amanda's stomach. "How's my godson?" He asked.

"Kicked up a storm last night and still is." Amanda responded before Dean smiled and turned his attention to the unborn baby.

"Hey kid, try to give your mom some rest, okay? Things will calm down." Dean replied before he and Amanda hugged…

Present time, 1/1/19…

Amanda absentmindedly adjusted her chambray shirt at the same time Yukie walked in with bags from Macy's and Party City.

"Did you buy out both stores?" Amanda questioned.

"Yeah, probably." Yukie answered.

Amanda let Finn help her up to her feet and she looked through the bags, seeing cups and plates for the baby shower set for later in the week… at the same time Dean walked in, brushing ice off of him.

"Fucking freezing out there!" Dean responded as he closed the door.

"Not as bad as when winter storm Juno battered the northeast 4 years ago." Amanda replied as they hugged… and Dean realising that his arms barely fit around her nowadays.

"Is it getting close for you to have Liam, Tiny?" Dean questioned.

"Yeah, 12th of next month." Amanda responded as Dean rested his left hand on her stomach and Liam kicked in response.

"So what are you two planning until then? Looks like Yukie somehow robbed a couple of stores without Mandy's permission." Dean replied.

"I didn't rob any stores, Dean, just getting ready for Mandy's baby shower." Yukie responded as Amanda and Finn sat down and she rested her legs on his lap.

"I don't want to ask but has Jeff gotten any information out of his sister?" Finn replied.

"I haven't ask him yet. But I'm sure Ash will… keep her distance or whatever. And are you sure you want me to send the invitation to her? Cause I have everyone's ready to be sent off." Yukie questioned.

"I want to at least try but if she doesn't show up, then I'll have my answer." Amanda replied before she pulled herself up as Liam squirmed around.

Amanda headed to the restroom and washed her hands afterwards… she went to go get her LG Aristo 3 from the bedroom and saw a text from Stephanie.

'You okay?'

'Little tired still, Liam keeps squirming around and I'm pretty sure he's attempting dropkicks.' Amanda responded.

'Rora, Murphy and Vaughan were like that too, kiddo. Just rest as much as you can.' Stephanie replied.

Amanda brushed a stray hair off of her navy jogger pants when she saw a text from Seth about Ashley.

'Ash looks like she calmed down now. But she's willing to make things up again.'

'Baby shower is on the 3rd, 1:30 is when it starts.' Amanda replied.

'Gotcha, Mandy. I'll let her know.' Seth responded.

Amanda headed into the living room with the phone and charger and sat down, her and Finn kissing… and Dean walked back in and quickly left.

At the same time, Ashley was thinking back to the night after TLC.

Ashley was walking around and saw Amanda sitting down, talking to Bayley… and Ashley walked over.

"I'll talk to ya later." Bayley replied before she left, Ashley looking at Amanda.

"What are you doing?" Ashley asked.

"Last minute things before going on maternity leave." Amanda answered, Ashley turning startled.

"So you're just leaving out of my life again?" Ashley asked.

"Ash, I'm getting closer to my due date. What do you expect me to do, give birth and then just get back in that ring like it's nothing? This little guy takes priority over a career right now." Amanda replied, turning and heading to hers and Finn's locker room… but Ashley caught up to her and stopped her.

"But what about us huh?! What about us?! Don't you care anymore?! Do I even fit into your life now?!" Ashley yelled, Amanda shoving her back as she had seen Ashley's right hand turn into a fist.

"I'm not gonna choose you over mine and Finn's son!" Amanda replied angrily before she headed into the locker room… and Ashley saw her packing her duffel bag as Finn walked in.

"Hey, Darlin', you ready to go?" Finn asked as he grabbed Amanda's duffel bag for her.

"Yeah. Let's go." Amanda responded before she entwined her right hand with Finn's left and the two left the locker room to head for the parking garage… and Ashley running after them.

Ashley caught up to them as Finn was helping Amanda into the rented Altima, Amanda buckling up and Finn closing the passenger door before he headed to the driver's side.

"I've already lost too many people! I won't let you leave!" Ashley yelled.

"You can't force her to stay!" Finn responded before he got in and they drove off as Ashley screamed that she would never let Amanda go…

Ashley knew things couldn't stay like this.

But she felt like she couldn't watch Amanda have something that she herself felt like she'd never have.
