Chapter 10
"Taylor Marie, what is going on and why did we have to fly to Mississippi?" Bill asked his daughter. "And who are they?"
"This is Ted DiBiase Jr and his parents Ted Sr. and Melanie. We work together and we have been dating for the past few months. Ted has asked me to marry him and I said yes." Taylor answered.
"Ted, is this true?" Melanie asked.
"Yes, mom." Ted answered.
"When do you two plan on getting married?" Ted Sr. asked.
"As soon as possible. We don't want to wait." Ted answered.
"Alright. Why not on Sunday?" Ted Sr. suggested.
"Sounds good to me, Taylor?" Ted responded.
"Perfect." Taylor answered.
"Wait a minute. Don't we have a say in anything?" Jillian asked.
"Not really. You can either be there for me and be happy, or you can go back to Vegas." Taylor answered.
Bill and Jillian didn't say anything and they didn't leave either. Ted and Taylor put together a rather quick wedding ceremony for that Sunday morning. Everyone they wanted there arrived into Mississippi by Saturday night.
"We are gathered to unite the two of you in marriage, which is an institution ordained by the state and made honorable by the faithful keeping of good men and women throughout all ages, and is not to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly." the pastor stated. "Do you, Theodore, take Taylor to be your wife, to love, comfort, and cherish from this day forth?"
"I do." Ted answered.
"Do you, Taylor, take Theodore, to be your husband, to love, comfort, and cherish from this day forth?" the pastor asked.
"I do." Taylor answered.
"I give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my partner, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live." Ted stated as he slid the ring on Taylor's finger.
"I give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my partner, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live." Taylor stated as she slid the ring on Ted's finger.
"Having thus pledged yourselves each to the other, I do now, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the state of Mississippi, pronounce you husband and wife. Ted, you may kiss your bride." the pastor stated as they shared their first kiss. "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Theodore DiBiase Jr."
Once the ceremony was over, everyone headed to Ted's house for a small gathering to celebrate their marriage. Once everyone was gathered in the living room, Ted and Taylor walked in and got everyone's attention.
"We wanted to thank everyone for being here. Today has been one of the best days of our lives." Taylor stated.
"The only thing that could make this day even better is to make a special announcement." Ted responded.
"What is it, Ted?" Ted Sr. asked.
"Taylor and I found out a few days ago that the DiBiase family is going to get just a little bit bigger come November 15th." Ted answered.
"Are you telling us that you are pregnant?" Jillian asked.
"Yes. 6 weeks." Taylor answered. "But Ted and I were engaged before I even found out."
"Congratulations to Ted and Taylor, not only on their marriage but on their pending parenthood as well." Ted. Sr. responded.
As the next few weeks went by, everyone started to notice that Taylor wasn't wrestling and that Ted was being overly protective of her. Eve, John, Zack, Randy, Kelly and Layla were all suspecting that something was going on between Ted and Taylor and they were bound to find out about it.
"Hey Ted. Let's have a chat." Randy stated as he, John and Zack sat down with Ted in catering.
"What's up?" Ted asked.
"Why are you all over Taylor like she is a piece of glass?" Zack asked. "She's not going to break."
"I have a right to protect her and make sure she is ok. She hasn't been feeling well and I'm just taking care of her." Ted answered.
"Dude, is she pregnant?" John asked.
"What?" Ted, Randy and Zack all asked.
"I asked if Taylor is pregnant. That would be the only reason I would I act as if she was going to break at any moment." John answered.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Taylor asked as she Eve, Kelly and Layla walked in.
"Just chatting." Randy answered.
"Taylor, are you pregnant?" John asked.
"JOHN!" everyone responded.
"Well? Don't tell me its not what you all are thinking too?" John asked.
"Alright. Enough is enough. Yes, Ted and I are having a baby and we are also married. Anything else you want to know?" Taylor answered before storming off.
"Thanks, guys. Now she's upset." Ted responded before going after his wife.
Ted caught up to Taylor who was grabbing her stuff and getting ready to head back to the hotel. Ted pulled her into his arms and she cried against his chest. Ted just held Taylor until she stopped crying and pushed Ted away from her.
"I'm going back to the hotel and heading home." Taylor stated.
"Which home?" Ted asked.
"My house. Vegas." Taylor answered as she picked up her bags and walked out the door.
Ted knew that when she was upset to let her be. He talked to Vince who gave him the time off to deal with Taylor. By the time Taylor landed in Vegas and headed to her house, Ted was on another flight there. He loved his wife and he knew that she loved him. Ted grabbed a cab headed to the house. Taylor was in the kitchen taking her vitamins when Ted walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Taylor asked.
"I wanted to make sure you were ok. Taylor, you're my wife and the mother of our baby. I love you. I don't care what anyone else says or does. It's only you and our baby that I care about." Ted answered as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm sorry I left. But I just couldn't handle dealing with people right now." Taylor responded. "And I know that you love me and the baby. We love you too."
That night Ted held Taylor in his arms and placed a hand on her stomach where the baby was. Taylor just smiled and put a hand on his. They knew that it was only a matter of a few months before their lives would change forever. Ted and Taylor fell asleep with their hands on the baby.
