Chapter Ten: What It Comes Down To

All I could do was stand there in silence; my eyes forced themselves away from him to stay glued to the cracked screen of my phone. I had no idea what to say, I know I am to blame for this one, I kind of figured David would go back and tell him but I was sort of hoping I would get to Stu before Otunga did.

I could hear the steps of his boots on the concrete ground as he steps closer to me, literally inches from each other now. With the smack of his hand, my phone flew across the room and hit the wall. "Have you nothing to say for yourself?" he demanded, his left index finger and thumb press to my chin, compelling my eyes to meet his.

"Well?" he orders.

The rush of tears had hit my eyes as I try my hardest to speak. "Yes," I choked out; it came out all scratchy and raw. "I'm pregnant." This came out lower as the buildup of tears continues to cloud over my vision.

His hand released itself from my face, as he turned and placed his hands to his hips. He turns again ever-so slightly, toward me. "Are you trying to tell me that this child isn't mine?" Stu asks, his brown brows were narrow, the annoyance in his English brogue.

"What are you talking about?" my voice cracked out of surprise to his question. "Of course this baby is yours, why would you even dare to ask something like that; we're engaged!" I felt the flood of tears streaming down my face.

"Engaged?" he raised an eyebrow to me as if he has no idea what I had just said. "A ring doesn't mean a thing Goddamn bloody thing to you anymore!"

"Why would you say something like that?" I sobbed; I can't take this, why would he act this way, or think such irrational things?

His tone lowered but the seriousness still stung hard in his words. "You up and leave with nothing to show for it but a bloody letter?" he phrased it as a question but I know he meant it as one rhetorical.

"After you complained that you never saw me, wanted more time together, this is what you do?" Stu continued. "So, of course, when you tell me that you're carrying a child," his eyes were focused to mine; the fierceness frightened me, literally making me weak in my knees. "Of course I am going to question you when the last time I have even seen you were over a month ago!"

I stood there, dumbfounded, I didn't expect for Stu to be that straight forward about sensitive matter – at least not with me anyway. The way he was staring at me was sending shivers throughout my entire body, and that's not a sensation I am enjoying.

"Earth to Katarina," he waved his hand in front of my face, his deep English brogue hit me enough to where it could have possibly knocked me over. "What is happening right now is the reason why we can never talk about serious issues. I suppose this is why you need to send Otunga to do your dirty work for you."

I shot him a confused look, "Excuse me?" I reply. "This is also coming from the man that sends his Nexus hoodlums to do his dirty work for him? Pot calling the kettle black, are you not?"

He rolled his eyes annoyingly, he never liked when I gave him sarcastic remarks... especially when he wasn't in a good mood to begin with. "Why do all of your petty arguments always lead back to the Nexus?"

"Whoa, what do you mean 'my arguments'?" I question him again. "We wouldn't be having this argument in the first place if this weren't for you!"

I saw his eyes change to a darker color; I didn't know that it would be possible for him to get any angrier at me... Lord was I wrong. "So now it's my fault that we are fighting? I am not the one that took the cowardly way out of this relationship!"

I cannot stand here anymore and just allow him to talk to me like I am child, it's just not going to happen and if he really thinks so, he's thought terribly wrong. "You know what pisses me off about this entire situation, Stuart?" he hated it when I called him by his first name, fully.

I could free the stains from the tears left on my cheeks as I rain my hand through my hair and then crossed my arms over my chest. "The fact that everyone else that I know, is happy that I am pregnant; Clarissa, Ted, even David Otunga was ecstatic to hear that we were having a baby," I confronted him. "A baby, Stu. Whether you like it or not, this is our child but if this is the way that you are going to act, don't bother with anything." I unraveled so quickly that I just didn't care, he deserved it all, and he had it coming sooner or later, at least.

"If you're having such a huge problem with me being pregnant, then just forget about us and forget about this baby, I'll do everything I can on my own, without you," I finished. Making my way back over to the door, the show doesn't air for another hour, and he'll be out of my room by then.

O===O

Stu did not have the upper hand to most of this match, with house shows it was an anything goes type of deal; whoever wins, wins. I could just tell that the thoughts of our pregnancy were over clouding his judgment. This would not end well; it could just be seen on how well Bourne was working on him.

Their match had me on the edge of my seat, Bourne had Barrett wiped across the ropes and just as Wade thought he had retaliated by ducking and just missing Evans kick, Bourne retreated with a drop kick, right as Barrett has bounced off the second rope, that hit my fiancé right in the face. It made me jump out of my seat, especially when I saw blood beginning to spew on the mat.

I gasped in the shock that became my fiancés fate as Evan went for the three count, his music played signaling his victory, I rose the microphone to my lips to make it official. Evan went around to the four corner posts, displaying his excitement to the crowd, and then cut it short by helping Wade Barrett to his feet and assisting him out of the ring and toward the back for medical assistance.

I immediately handed my microphone to Justine and made my escape to the back to check on Stu; despite the fact that I was angry with him earlier, it doesn't make it right for me not to check up on him when he's injured.

The click of my heels echoed with every step I took down once I made it to the back, behind the curtain. It wasn't much later than that that I found the medical assistance room; they never kept them too far from the entrance.

I didn't knock, I just slowly opened the door and allowed myself in. "Excuse me, ma'am but you're not permitted in here –" I couldn't help but push the guy aside. "Ma'am,"

Wade's eyes met mine; a slight change to them was the only thing that I notice. "It's alright, man, she's my fiancée," he says as I approached him. My shaking fingertips lightly touch his bloodstained face.

"Mr. Bennett, sir, she isn't –"

Again the paramedic was cut off from my fiancé's deep, English drawl. "She's my fiancée and she's pregnant, is there a problem with this?" there was no sign of Stu in his tone; it was weird that I could tell the difference, it was like looking into the eyes of a totally different person.

The paramedic said nothing and as the eyes of the Nexus leaders' had trailed back to mine, I felt the tears well to my eyes again. "Are you alright?" I asked, my finger tips tracing over the dried blood on his skin. "Is it broken?"

"I doubt that it's broken," he replies, his tone lightens up a little. "Maybe bruised but not broken,"

I couldn't wait to say anymore, so I just let it go. "We need to talk," the words came out so fast that I didn't even know if he understood me. "Things can't keep going on this way and I know what I said but –"

"It's going to have to wait until all of this is over –" I wouldn't let him finish, I felt like I just needed to get all of this out.

"Will you please sit down and talk to me, like we used to?" I was literally begging at this point. "Please?"

"I'll call you after this is all done, after I'm cleaned up and –" I cut him off yet again. Funny thing was, he wasn't getting frustrated with this.

"You broke my phone." I reply. Stu was slowly coming back to me, this time his gentler side was showing; I think at this point he could see that either way, we're both in a lose-lose situation.

He lays a hand to his hip; his eyes momentarily look toward the ground before they reach back to me. This time, I spoke, my voice was soft and full of understanding. "We'll figure something out, just, first get yourself cleaned up,"

Stu seemed a little shaken up…well, maybe not shaken up, probably more baffled than anything but there was just something in his reaction that just surprised me. I left him to get situated, and to get myself situated but the only thing I really felt were anxious emotions I had slowly beginning to build up on the inside.

I had gone back to Clarissa's and my hotel room, now dressed in comfy pajamas. Clarissa had made non-caffeinated tea, caffeine anything this late at night would probably upset the baby. She looked at me with tired eyes and her cell phone in her hand. "Are you sure you want him to meet you here?" she asked, concern shown more on her face than in her words.

I was sitting with my back to the headboard of my bed. "Yes," I replied. "This needs to be done." My tone lowered with my last words as my right hand gently glided over my belly.

Whatever the results may be, I am ready to take on both Wade Barrett and Stu Bennett.

So, this one was longer; if you guys want four pages instead of two, drop me a line and let me know. I'm excited to see where this is going to head from here and I really hope you guys are too. Any other questions, concerns, and all that, you can message me in PM, my facebook is on my profile, so you can catch me there… yeah, lol, I think that's all.

Oh, and I made a banner for Wade, so you guys know where to go for that, by now!
