Author's Note: I've finally gotten Chapter 7 up. Hope y'all like it.
Ted found out through most of the locker room that Makena had taken Wade back again. Well, actually Maryse had told him, but everyone else just kept repeating it to him. He was seriously in a bad mood, and not to mention he lost his match against Daniel Bryan, but he needed to talk to Makena, work things out with her. And maybe along the way, ask her what's going through her mind and why she would take Wade back once again. He was getting annoyed with this stupid situation and it wasn't because he still loved her. It was because he was sure Wade would mess up again and then do whatever he could to get Makena back, and like a dumbass, she would. He's seen Wade lash out on Makena and it wasn't the greatest thing. He would try to do something about it, but she wouldn't let him and he's tried before, but that just led him to getting a black eye, a bloody nose, and an almost broken nose. Ted sighed heavily and left the locker room in search of Makena.
Making his way to the Nexus locker room, where he was positive that's where she was now that everything was good between her and Wade, he actually came across the British bastard and his South African follower. "You!" he shouted, pointing at him. "How the hell did you get Makena to take you back?"
Wade chuckled, amused by Ted's anger. "Threatening her that I would beat you lifeless."
"And she believed that?"
"Course. I did it to you once, I have no shame in doing it to you again."
Ted had gotten close to Wade, anger boiling inside of him. Justin then stepped in, pulling the men apart. "Guys. Come on now. You both love the same girl, but she only loves one of you. You gotta let it go, Ted."
"Let it go? Fuck that, Justin. I don't care if I'm still in love with her. The fact is that Makena is my best friend and it's my duty as one to protect her from shits like him."
Wade laughed. "Well, you're doing a terrible job at that, Ted."
Makena had then entered the picture, walking out of the locker room. She had a crinkled look on her face. Then she saw Ted and instantly, she knew what all the shouting was about. "I need to talk to you," Ted pleaded. She glanced at him, then at Wade and Justin. She had disappeared back into the room, only to have the rest of Nexus walk out seconds later. She let Ted in, then closed the door behind her for a minute with the guys. "Justin, would you mind staying by the door? Just in case some goes wrong," she asked of him. He nodded his head, then leaning his back against the wall. She turned to the others. "You five can go lollygag somewhere else."
"What? No way, Makena. I'm staying right here," Wade protested.
"Yeah, right, dude. If something goes wrong, the first thing you'll do is knock his teeth in. I need someone civil, someone who doesn't lose their temper so damn fast."
Wade just stared at his girlfriend. He knew she was right. So he gave in. When Makena got what she wanted, she walked back into Nexus' locker room to find Ted, pacing back and forth. He ran his hand through his hair, the other one on his hip. He was mumbling something, but she couldn't make anything out.
"What'd you want to talk about?" she asked, being calm and sitting on the steel chair.
"The reason you took Wade back for the thousandth time," Ted explained. "Look. He told me the actual reason why you took him back and it was because he threatened you that he would hurt me, but I could care less. You just shouldn't have taken him back. I'd take a beating for you so you wouldn't. Makena, he's all wrong for you. He's controlling, manipulative, an asshole. He'll step all over you and then when he knows you're on the verge of breaking things off with him, he'll come bearing an apology and whatever. You guys are like a cycle. You fight, you break up with him, he comes back with an apology, and you take him back. It's sickening what he does to you."
"Then you know what? Don't come around me, don't come around Wade, don't think about us. If you don't like it, then stay away because I love Wade, Ted. When are you going to get that through your thick skull? Yes, I know what he's done to me in the last few months was horrible and I take him back because I'm in love with him, child or no child. His actions are only tampered when I do something wrong. I'm not saying it's right for him to treat me like that because it's not and if you really are my best friend, then you'd just support me with my decisions. I let you have your fits thrown at me and your opinions and what not, but at the end of the day, it's my decision on what I do with my life. So please, Teddy, just be okay with this."
Ted shook his head. "I will never be okay with my best friend being manipulated by some dick."
Makena collapsed back onto the chair when Ted walked out. Justin walked in a second later. He saw her expression and it obviously looked like things didn't go over so well. "He still hates me," Makena said. Justin came to her side. "He doesn't hate you. He just hates your actions," he explained. "I probably would, too, if I were Ted." She let out a light chuckle and pushed him slightly. She decided that she would forget this whole thing with Ted happened. She wasn't going to let him put her in a bad mood today. So she and Justin walked out of the room and went to go join Wade and the rest of Nexus at wherever they were.
Today was a new day, but when Makena woke up, it was the same routine. Feel nauseous, then run to the bathroom and throw up. Morning sickness was not something she was looking forward to with this pregnancy. When Wade found her, her head was practically inside the toilet while her hand held her hair up. He stepped behind her, taking her hair in his hands and held it up for her. As awful as the sounds that were echoing out of the toilet made Wade want to hurl on his own, Makena needed him. He watched as her head turned to look up at him. He let go of her hair and sat down in front of her. Her face had become pale, almost as white as Stephen's, and tears were welling in her eyes. He took her in his arms and hugged her tighter than ever. His body loosened when she hugged him back. "Baby girl, are you alright?" he asked.
"Yeah, I mean, this is what happens when you're pregnant," she giggled lightly.
"Well, is there anything I can get you?"
"How about to the next city? We got a long way ahead of us. And maybe some breakfast?"
Wade nodded his head as he helped her up. He kissed the top of her head before he went to get their things and grab some breakfast before heading to the next city. As he was gathering there things back into their luggage, he noticed Makena sitting on top of the closed toilet, her legs cupped to her chest. She seemed very upset, or scared, but maybe it was the hormones. That was the whole reason Wade was a bit afraid of her being pregnant, her mood swings. He was sure she would turn into him for the next nine months. Sweet one minute, a bitch the next. Well, you know what they say, "Karma's a bitch."
He walked into the bathroom, kneeling down by her side. "Are you alright, Makena?" he asked. "What's a matter?" She looked up at him, her chin resting on her knee. "I'm scared, Wade," she said, biting her lip. He took her hand in his, pressing his forehead against hers. "Don't be, baby. I'm here for you. I always will be. I promise," Wade rustled. She smiled, leaning in and kissing him lightly. He gave her another one before he got up, taking her with him. She then stopped. He looked back at the beautiful, innocent face of hers.
"Promise me that we won't fight anymore, that we won't have anymore break ups or breaks," she said.
"I promise. No more fighting, no more getting mad, no more of that angry stuff," he replied.
"Love you," she said. He smiled. "Love you as well."
As they got off the elevator to check out, they came across Ted. He was checking out as well. Makena slipped on her sunglasses and put on her red, wide brimmed hat. Wade looked down and laughed. "He's still going to know it's you, Kenny," he said. She rolled her eyes behind the dark Ray-Bans. "I'm just going to go wait in the car," she sighed. She stood on her tiptoes to kiss her boyfriend and headed out to the car before catching up to Ted. Whatever was left of their friendship, it was most likely shot to hell now.
"So what happened to you and Makena?" John asked Ted as they carpooled together to their next city. In the back was Randy and Cody.
"I don't want to talk about it," Ted exclaimed, keeping his eyes out the window. Last night, he had come to Makena to make things right between them again, but they just got into a fight again. He hated not talking to her, but what could he do? He walked out on their conversation with an angry attitude. He was frustrated in himself because the love he still had for his once girlfriend was getting in the way of everything. He could barely concentrate out their in the ring, which would explain his new win-loss record. Everything was fine. Up until he actually told Makena he still had feelings for her. Everything had gone down hill from there as well.
"Man, you gotta talk about it. It's not good to keep your feelings bottled up," Cody said.
"Horse shit, Codes. I don't want to talk about it, nor do I need to," Ted fired angrily, putting his iPod earphones into his ears so he wouldn't have to listen to his friends anymore.
"Dude, we got to get him and Makena to be good again," Cody told Randy and John.
"Duh? This is eating him alive," John replied.
"Well, it may not be entirely genius, but it's a plan and I got one," Randy admitted.
Author's Note: Things are still not good with Ted and Makena, but what's Randy's plan? Hope it works.
