July 9th 2005…
"You're just gonna pick up and go?! Your life is here!" Andre said before Amanda turned back to him.
"My life will always be here but my dreams aren't! I'm sorry but-" Amanda responded, Andre gripping her right elbow. "You can't force me to stay… and I won't be your friend if you try to, Andre." She finished, moving her arm away from his hand and Andre turning incensed as Amanda put the last bag in John's Charger.
Without warning, he grabbed the 15 year old and kissed her… and she shoved him back and slapped him hard across the face.
"Don't ever do that to me again, what the hell's the matter with you?!" Amanda responded threateningly, Andre wiping the blood away from his split open upper lip and saw that she was wearing a cropped RKO Legend Killer shirt.
"Crushing on your brother's best friend, huh?!" Andre growled.
"That's none of your business!" Amanda said.
"Hey, you keep your trap shut!" The two heard, before Immy was over with them quickly and delivered a hard slap to Andre's side, him stumbling back. "Mandy, you go and you make yourself a brilliant and firm career. I'll keep in touch and try to keep control over this idiot, I don't know… occupy him in some experiments or something."
"Thanks, Immy." Amanda said, the two hugging before John headed over and he and Amanda got in the car and drove off… a distance away, John turned to Amanda, having seeing the blood on Andre's mouth.
"Didn't agree with you leaving, huh?" John questioned, Amanda shaking her head. "It won't be the first time… now you're getting involved with all this company and that, you're gonna learn very quickly that there's always gonna be someone who's against whatever you're doing. But you also learn to ignore them who tell you otherwise, it's your life and path, your fate. Not theirs to argue with."
"It is but for as long as I can remember, he's always been a part of it… since we were little kids playing on the monkey bars." Amanda responded, John seeing a bite on her lower lip.
"I remember you tried looking at more of a relationship with him a couple years back… I know it didn't work out but you still stayed close, maybe Andre just doesn't know how to react to someone who's basically become his sister leaving home suddenly." John replied.
"Still hurt though, his teeth sinking in like that…" Amanda said.
"Ah… now he's been watching too many movies. Old romance films have it that biting your partner's lip while you kiss, and drawing blood, usually means… well, dominance. Either he's desperate, or he figured that if he showed something like that towards you, you'd chose against leaving… or he was just smashed up in the head." John responded.
"Probably was." Amanda replied as King Of Wishful Thinking by Go West started to play and John turned the volume up a bit.
Amanda started to relax and sing, John joining in as well… and seeing how happy she looked…
Present time…
"Well, I can tell you this. Everything's okay, the little one is developing normally… as for how she's feeling physically, that's normal too. So first time Dad, don't panic, Mom and baby are perfectly okay." The doctor explained after the exam, her having seen many first time parents countless times.
Finn and Amanda embraced each other and kissed before thanking the doctor. On the way to the arena, Finn drove carefully.
"I gotta admit, I was panicking too… but we're okay. So just stay calm, Finn." Amanda replied as they were at a red light and looked at each other before they kissed.
"It's not always easy to… I worry a lot about you and now that's changed because it's not just you and me anymore. There's a little person growing in you and… we're both feeling stronger needs to protect him." Finn responded.
"Turning into mama and papa bears." Amanda said as Finn continued driving.
It was at the arena that Amanda got a video call and answered it, seeing Zola.
"Hey… everything alright there?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah, Seth's just-" Zola started to say, jumping slightly when the door slammed open and Seth threw Dean into the room before closing the door.
"Would it have killed ya to wait until I completely woke up?!" Dean responded angrily… before he turned and saw Amanda. "Hey… little bundle of joy okay?" He asked after calming down.
"Yes. Finn kind of panicked a bit because I started feeling like I was gonna throw up earlier but the baby's doing okay." Amanda responded.
"He's being even more overprotective, you've got his baby growing in you and… I should've reacted better, I really should've." Dean replied.
"So… you're okay with this? You're not mad?" Amanda asked.
"With how I reacted, I was more scared than mad… I'm also hoping you'll pick me as the godfather." Dean responded.
"Go back on the nicotine patch, then we'll talk about that. I'm not exposing this baby to cigarette smoke, Dean. Are we clear on that?" Amanda replied.
"Yes." Dean answered.
A knock at the door interrupted them, Amanda and Dean ending their video call and Amanda standing up and absentmindedly adjusting her white thermal babydoll cami and black Balor Club Worldwide lounge pants before she walked to the door… she opened it, seeing Liara.
But who she saw behind Liara made Amanda's eyes widen.
"Andre?" Amanda responded.
"Hey…" Andre replied before Finn walked over and rested his right hand on Amanda's lower back.
"Andre, this is who I was telling you about… Finn is Amanda's boyfriend." Liara responded.
Andre nodded, letting them leave.
'So much more has changed than a relationship.' Andre thought.
Joe was about to walk over to Amanda and Finn after reaching the backstage area but Baron stopped him.
"Let's just… leave Tiny and Finn alone." Baron said before they reached the hallway, Joe turning to him.
"You think they're discussing baby stuff, perhaps?" Joe questioned.
"Wow, word does travel fast… what's going on in that mind of yours, pal?" Baron replied.
"I just… I don't know, I thought she would've told me. I've known Mandy since she was 15, helped train her…" Joe explained.
"Well, this is their first child, maybe they're holding off on telling too many people." Baron responded.
Joe nodded and looked at Amanda, who smiled at him and he smiled back at her.
'Hoping everything goes okay, kiddo… for you and the little one.' Joe thought.
It was as they headed back to their locker room that Finn caught Amanda from falling when she got dizzy and helped her sit down, which prompted Hunter and Shawn to run over to the two.
"You okay, kiddo?!" Hunter asked, him and Shawn checking on Amanda.
"Yeah, just kind of lost my balance for a second." Amanda explained, Finn resting his right hand on Amanda's back and Shawn turning suspicious.
"Get her back on to the locker room and get her to rest." Shawn replied, Finn picking Amanda up into his arms and doing so.
"That was scary, hope she's gonna be alright." Hunter responded, Shawn turning to him.
"I hope so too." Shawn replied before walking into another hallway… and grabbing his phone, pulling Rey's number up before sending a text.
'Get a crew together!'
'Who needs a beating?' Rey responded.
'Kid's name is Finn Balor! He knocked Mandy up!'
'Son of a bitch! Is he gonna make an honest woman out of her?!' Rey responded angrily.
'Don't know, didn't see a ring on her finger.'
'Alright, I'm gonna be on the next flight out to Orlando.' Rey responded… and took a few minutes before sending out a text to three people.
'Get a priest, a shotgun and a wedding gown and tuxedo! And no, I am not joking around!'
'Uh oh, this ain't a good sign.' The three thought as they looked at each other before leaving the Lucha Underground Temple.
They knew that Rey meant business when he acted like that.
