"Okay, let me digest this here for a minute. You are pregnant?"
Opening her baby blue eyes as wide as she could and looking around to make sure no one sitting outside their table listened to her friend Natalya's outburst, Beth clenched her jaw as hard as she could and shook her head no.
"I didn't say I was pregnant, at least not yet. I'm trying though…"
Laughing in delight, the blonde Canadian and one half of the Divas of Doom clapped her hands and sprung forward to hug her. "Oh My God, why didn't you tell me before? I didn't even know you were dating."
Blushing profusely, Beth ran the tip of her fingertips through her hair and shrugged. This was the really awkward part and she wasn't looking forward to revealing the rest of her story to Natalya.
Sure, she considered the woman to be her best friend in the business but that didn't mean she didn't feel a bit embarrassed to tell her that no, she wasn't dating and that she wanted to have a baby on her own.
Knowing her, she was going to yell an 'I knew it' when she revealed the identity of the father. She was always teasing her about her friendship with Phil and she even got her boyfriend Tyson to comment on in.
His conclusion, a man and a woman couldn't be friends because at one point and for whatever reason, they were going to sleep together and ruin everything.
That has been several months ago and that day, as she sat in that table, she couldn't help but to think that he has been right. She and Phil ended up sleeping together and even though she wouldn't say that their friendship was ruined, she could say without a doubt that it has changed.
For example, the next time they saw each other after their night together has been awkward. Beth evaded looking at him to the eye, he didn't touch her even once like he was used to and after exchanging a few words they each went their separate ways.
The next time was better though, one week after the whole thing happened, Phil texted her inviting her to eat after the show was over and she accepted. At first she felt weird, but after a while she started to relax in his company and ended up talking about everything but their plans.
It was almost like in the old times… almost, because even though they didn't talk about it, the weight of what they did was present and she still couldn't look at him straight in the eye without blushing.
She didn't talk or heard from him for another week and it wasn't going to be until that night later on that she was going to see him again. After all it was Monday night Raw and his presence was almost guaranteed.
"Hello, Beth to earth; you still there?"
Dropping her hand to the table, Beth forced herself to smile and as if it wasn't such a big deal, she took a sip of her water and then sighed. "I'm not dating anyone; but I've been thinking about this since last year and after weighting every option, I decided for an in vitro fertilization."
"Okay…"
And now the really good part. "Only that I wanted the father to be someone I knew and I… I asked Phil."
Choking on her diet coke, Natalya coughed a few times and Beth just watched her, waiting for the questions to come. "Phil is going to be the father of your baby?"
"Hopefully yes," She said before using her tongue to push the inside of her cheek.
"Ok now I really need to process this so give me a second." With that said, Natalya took another sip of her soda and with her eyes sparkling, she swallowed it down. "So, you already said you asked him, the question here is what did he say?"
Breathing in, Beth prepared herself to break the news nobody but her and Phil knew. "He said yes, only that he didn't want to do the in vitro thing and he wanted to you know, conceive the natural way."
At that, Natalya's lips broke into a big smile and she pulled her chair closer to Beth's. She seemed over-excitedly and giddy and Beth was sure that she was trying to contain herself. "And what did you say?"
"Well, I really wanted to do the in vitro because the chances to conceive like that are more accurate. The other way is us taking a chance and all that but he was set on not wanting to have what he already says will be his only child being implanted in my uterus by a doctor… and yes, those were his exact words." She chuckled, thinking and remembering every word that he said in that conversation.
"So you said yes." The other woman said and Beth nodded.
"I said yes and you know, we already…" Taking in a deep breath and looking down to her manicured nails, she bit on her lips. "Well we already did it."
"Oh My God! I can't believe this! I knew this was going to happen one day!"
Rolling her eyes, Beth motioned Natalya to lower her voice. "Don't get too excited, it's not like we are dating or anything. We were completely emotionally detached during the whole thing and the only purpose we did it was to get me pregnant."
"Oh don't give me that, you can't have sex with your best friend and be emotionally detached, it's impossible. The two of you made love to have a baby and that makes you bond with him in ways you will never bond with anyone else. I think it's beautiful."
Blowing out a breath, Beth looked away. She didn't like to think about it but yeah, Natalya was right. Being with Phil has been very special to her and that was something she wasn't going to forget.
Not that she wanted to talk about it, she was a very private person and as a rule, she felt uncomfortable talking about her personal affairs.
"So how was him, did he live up to the hype?"
"Nat! God, tell me you didn't just ask me that." Beth said, feeling embarrassed.
"Come on, if I would sleep with one of the guys I would tell you about it."
"If you slept with one of the guys, I wouldn't want to know about it."
"I'm not asking for details so come on, don't be shy." The younger woman said with a loud laugh and Beth pursed her lips.
"It was good; I mean it was not a mind blowing experience but it was nice…" In fact, it has been more than nice and every time she thought about it, she ended up blushing and her lips cracked into a clandestine smile.
"Hmmm, was he better than Cody?"
"Okay, this subject is closed." Beth said, not wanting to talk about her ex and let alone compare him with Phil.
"No seriously, I'm very happy for you. I know it had to be a hard decision, I mean you breathe and live wrestling so giving it up for having a family really shows how much you want it. Did you tell Vince already?"
Opening her lips to answer that, Beth closed it back again as he saw Phil walking into catering. He walked in looking moody as always, but when he spotted her his eyes lit up and flashing his crooked grin, he started to make his way towards her.
Natalya saw her looking and turning her head to see what it was, she grinned. "Okay, I think I need to find Tyson so see you later, we still need to talk about this." With that said, the Canadian stood up and left.
It didn't take long for Phil to get to her and once he was close enough he sat on the chair Natalya just vacated. "Hey,"
"Hey yourself." She replied his accustomed greeting.
Sighing and reaching for her water to drink from it, Phil locked eyes with her and smiled faintly. "So what's new, are you pregnant yet?"
Yeah, leave it to Phil to go straight to the point. Licking her lips and brushing her hair behind her ear, Beth looked up to the ceiling and shrugged.
"I don't know, I need to wait a few days and see." And that was synonymous to 'I'm not supposed to have my period until next week and I need to miss it first to get the tests done.' Of course, she didn't think he wanted to know that kind of information so she didn't share it.
"Okay, I think we need to wait then."
Nodding and looking to him, Beth swallowed down and arming herself with a new kind of valor she held her breath. "That reminds me, I was talking to the Dr. the other day and he told me that there's no guarantee of me getting pregnant just because I'm ovulating, I mean yeah he gave me these pills but he insists that it would be more accurate if he tried the in vitro."
"I bet he said that, he charges extra for each 'in vitro', doesn't he?"
Grunting, Beth slapped her forehead and shook his head. "I can pay it, that wouldn't be a problem."
"I thought we already talked about this." He said a bit somberly and for a moment Beth was afraid that if he pushed him, he would change his mind.
"I know, but what if I didn't get pregnant?"
As soon as her words were out, Phil reached for her hand and took it in his. It was the first time he actually touched her in almost two weeks and for some reason her eyes got glued to the way he interlaced his fingers with hers.
It was almost hypnotic, his hand was way larger than hers and yet they seemed to fit perfectly together. She also notice how much paler her hand looked next to him and the way his tattoos started to cover his skin from his wrist up.
"Then we'll try it again."
Moving her eyes up to meet his, Beth felt a heat creeping up to her face and she wished he was looking away. But he wasn't and she was almost sure by the smile on his face that he noticed that she was blushing.
"I mean last time wasn't so bad, or was it?"
Rolling her eyes, Beth used her free hand to cover her eyes and she smiled in embarrassment. "Phil…"
"What?" He snorted and squeezed her hand. "I'm just saying. Besides, we all know that practice makes perfection and come on, I have to get at least one good shot."
Putting her hand down, Beth blinked a few times. "Alright, we'll wait one more week and then we'll decide okay? Now let's not talk about this right now."
Without letting go of her hand, Phil chuckled. "Alright, but let me tell you something. I think I'm getting a kick out of making you blush, it's so easy."
Moving her head to the side and chuckling as well, Beth rolled her eyes. "Anyway!"
Ah, and seriously, she hoped that she got pregnant with their first try because she really didn't know what she would do if she had to have sex with him once again. She survived one time already without letting her feelings intervene, but she didn't know if she would be so lucky with a second time, a third or even a fourth…
But for now, more waiting and then she would see.
