A/N
Just so ya don't get confused... this is all in John's POV :)
I was sat in my hotel room. This had probably been the worst 3 weeks of my life. Not talking to Stacey was absolutely killing me. I couldn't concentrate properly. I was messing moves up in matches. I shouldn't let it get to me so much but I couldn't help it. She was my best friend not to mention the girl who I was utterly in love with yet she didn't want me. She was completely and unconditionally in love with Cody Rhodes. I couldn't blame her Cody was a nice enough guy, I just held a grudge against him because he had the girl I want. This whole thing is my fault anyway. If I hadn't have cheated on her in the first place all those months ago who knows where we'd be now.
I groaned and flopped onto my bed. What kind of a mess had I got myself into? I wanted to be with Stacey through her pregnancy and help her out. I missed her liked mad. Did she miss me though? She seemed to be happy enough. I was glad she was happy though, don't get me wrong. Id rather myself been miserable than her. I picked up the TV remote and started flicking through the channels. Nothing on typical. I closed my eyes for a split second to think about everything that was going on and what I really wanted to do.

It was officially morning now I dunno how long id been asleep but I felt a hell of a lot better. I couldn't keep ignoring Stacey, she was my best friend. Surely it wouldn't help our friendship if we didn't talk for a while? I heard the someone knocking on my hotel room do. Reluctantly, I got off the bed and answered it to see Cody stood there. He didn't look angry. That was a good thing. I motioned for him to come in. He stood in the room with his arms folded around the chest just looking at me.
"What's up Cody?" I asked him. He didn't look like he was going to be starting a conversation any time soon.
"I need to talk to you about Stacey. I have to go home for a few days. My dad needs me." He looked directly at me. What did that have to do with me?
"Well, that's great and everything but what's this got to do with me?"
"I need someone to look after her. This past week, she hasn't been so great. She's been having a lot of stomach pains and really uncomfortable. I need someone to make sure she's okay while im gone," he mumbled.
"Why come to me? Why not ask Randy or even Ted?"
"She wants you okay?! She practically begged me to ask you. Now I for one don't trust you around MY girlfriend, but for some reason you seem to make her happy so im just doing her a favour not you," he glared at me. I guess I couldn't blame him. I had kissed his girlfriend whilst she was still with him. Luckily enough for Stacey he didn't blame her for it. Well maybe at first, im not too sure. At least he just wanted to make sure she was happy. For Stacey's sake I suppose I should try and make things better between Cody and myself.
"Okay man. Look I don't blame you for not trusting me around her but ive done some thinking. I know she doesn't want me Cody. She wants you and only you. I - I cant look after her Cody. I don't think I can be around her again just yet," I looked at him. That was definitely not what he wanted to here.
"Just man up! Fuck sake John. Your been so childish about this whole thing. Yeah, shes in love with me and im in love with her. We're having a baby and some day SOON I plan on asking her to marry me. I know I made mistakes in the past but im going to be with her through everything whether you like it or not. Your suppose to be her best friend. Well your not acting like one as of late. She may look like she's happy but dude I know her. She's hurting because you wont talk to her. What kind of a best friend does that make you?" He really had a point there. I wasn't been much of a friend. I guess I should try and put my personal feelings aside and try and be the best friend that I am to Stacey.
"Your right. I havent been much of a friend these past few weeks. I'll do it.. For Stacey. I'll make sure shes okay." I sighed and smiled. Maybe Cody wasn't so bad for Stacey after all?

I was stood in Stacey and Cody's hotel room. Cody had dragged me along with him. Stacey was stood looking at me. Angrily, I might add.
"Look, babe I gotta go. Im sorry but John said he'll look after you. I'll be back in 3 days. If you need me just call me or something. I love you," Cody kissed Stacey for about 5 minutes. Okay maybe not that long but yeah. He gave her a cuddle.
"I love you too. Be safe and call me as soon as you get there," she kissed him again and he left not before giving me a glare, leaving me and Stacey alone the first time in about a month.
"Sooo how are you?" I said cringing.
"Cut the bullshit John. If you don't want to be here leave," she went and sat down on the couch.
"I do want to be here. Your boyfriend talked a little bit of sense into me. He's got his head screwed on that one," I slightly chuckled. She looked at me with a small smile.
"So you really want to be here?"
"Of course I do Stace. I missed you so much. I was been stupid. You need your best friend, just like I need mine. Not talking to each other isn't in our nature. Can we just forget everything and go back how everything was way before any of this drama happened?" I asked, hopefully she'd say yes.
"I guess so. If there's ever something wrong just tell me though yeah? Then maybe we can avoid situations like this in the future." She smiled at me and gave me a quick hug. Hopefully now everything was going to be okay.
A few hours later Stacey and myself were sat on the couch watching one of her girly films. I had no interest in it whatsoever. Okay, I lied. It was pretty cool. Mean girls I think it was called. I heard Stacey gasp and shoot up placing her hands on her stomach. Automatically I jumped up.
"Stacey what's wrong?" I was starting to panic. I had no idea what to do when it came to pregnant ladies.
"The baby. I think something's wrong John. I've been getting bad stomach pains lately but this…. REALLY HURTS!" She cried. I had no idea what to do.
"Okay. Stay there. I'll go get a doctor or something!"
She grabbed my arm. "We're in a hotel John. No doctors will be around. Just call an ambulance please," she was crying. I picked up the nearest phone and called for an ambulance. Once that was over and done with I looked at Stacey. She was crying her eyes out.
"Call Cody please?!" I nodded at her. I dialled Cody's number. After a few rings he picked up.
"John? Why are you calling? I was just about to call Stacey. Is everything okay?"
"No Cody.. It's Stacey." I sighed.
"What?! What's wrong?" He demanded.
"Cody… it's the baby…"
