It was around a month after the plane trip and the show. Vince and the writing team decided, on that night, that they couldn't ignore Melina's growing pregnant belly anymore. As a result, they decided to add it into a storyline. They were pitting Joey against Johnny, and they were going to make Joey be the true father. This would make Johnny very pissed, and a new fued would be born. Too bad they didn't know how close to the truth they really were.
For the past few weeks, Johnny felt a little uneasy about putting Melina and the baby in the ring. Melina could tell, so she decided to ask him why. She approached him that day and asked, "Johnny, why are you so worried about me being in the ring?"
Johnny sighed and turned around from the laundry. "Because one false move, and your or baby could be hurt."
Melina laughed. "Johnny, there's no real reason to be worried. I mean, it's only you, me, and Joey in the ring together. And Joey is just as excited as you are to have this baby."
Johnny took Melina's hands in his. "Melina," he said, "what if Mr. McMahon decides to have us fight while you're in the ring with us? If just one of us bumps into you and causes you to fall, baby could..." he turned his head away.
Melina wrapped her arms around Johnny's neck. "Johnny, let's not worry about it," she said into his shoulder, "I'm confident that Vince will be extremely careful with this." She released him and walked over to the back door. She opened it and called, "Joey!" Joey looked up from the lawn mower and walked straight over to her. "What's up, Mel?" he asked as he came up, wiping sweat from his forehead.
"I need you and Johnny to help me with something," she replied, leading the boys over to the large family room. She stopped in the center at a pile of finished wood. "I need you boys to help me put together the crib."
The boys looked at the heaping pile, each other, then the pile again. They shrugged, and sat down to put the crib together.
Melina watched, smiling, as the boys flipped through the direction booklet. "I'll be right back, boys," she said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom, grab something to eat, and then I'll be back to help you."
Johnny and Joey both nodded to her as she left the family room and went into the bathroom. After she finished going to the bathroom, she went out to the kitchen and made herself a sliced apple and orange. She sat down on the couch that was in front of the boys and turned on the television. She flipped through the channels and munched on her snack. She could feel the baby slightly adjusting andkicking, and she smiled lightly. She continued to eat and watchTV untilshe finished. Once she was done, she soon felt the baby stop moving. It was full, just like her, andwas falling asleep. Melina felt her eyelids get heavy, andshe decided to close them. Only for a little bit.
Melina opened her eyes abruptly, and looked around her.The sun was still shining, and the television was still on the channel that she had left it on. She looked up at the clockhanging on the wall and noticed that it was 4:00 in the afternoon. She had been sleeping for two hours!
She quickly sat up and looked over to where the crib was, and what she saw wasHORRIBLE. The pieces of the crib were on, but they weren't right. They were in different places, like a blind man hadput it together. She looked a little to the left and noticed the boys, who each had acooking pot on their head and a piece of the crib in their hand.
Melina abruptlystood up and walked over to the two boys. "Whaton earth are you two doing?" she asked.
Both the boyslowered their "weapons" and looked at her."We're having a sword fight," Joey said.
"Yeah," Johnny chimed in,"we're testing thecrib part to seeif they're strong enough to hold the baby."
Melinagrunted and walked over to the box. "Hmm," she huffed, "it says right here on this box that it will hold a fiv-year-old up tofifty-five pounds."She looked at them withsuperior satisfaction.
"Oh,"they both said in unison.Melina lowered herself slowly onto the floor. "C'mon," she said, "let's get this crib set up."
The boys joined her on the carpeted floor and helped take apart and rebuild the expectedbaby's crib; all the while, telling funny storied and jokes and laughing with each other. It was agood thing too, because soon there would be no laughter in the trio's lifes.
