Five days had passed. Brie and John were on the road. They just gotten into town the night before. John had a house show today. They were in bed asleep. The alarm clock started going off. Brie reached over to turn it off.

"John, wake up honey." She said. "It's time to get up." He opened his eyes and rolled over to face her.

"Good morning." He said smiling.

"Good morning."

"I really like waking up like this."

"Me to."

"Pretty soon we'll be waking up to the baby."

"Yeah." "I can't wait."

"Me either." "I love you." She kissed him. He kissed her back. It was slow but becoming more passionate. Brie didn't want to but she knew she had to stop. Although they'd been making progress Brie wasn't ready to forgive John enough to do this yet. She pulled away. "Ok." "I have to stop."

"Stop what?"

"It's been almost three months since we've made love." "Trust me, I want you and I think you're starting to want me to but given everything that's happened I need more time."

"I know we're taking things slow." "We just got swept up in the moment."

"Which is a big part of reason why we started having sex in the first place."

"You're right." "I am starting to want you." "I've even fantasized about us." "I just wish I could kick that embarrassed feeling."

"What makes you feel so embarrassed John?"

"I don't know exactly." "Especially since my feelings towards you have changed." "I don't see you as just a friend anymore." "I see you as someone who I want and desire."

"That's a good thing."

"Yeah but if I even think about us having sex it just feels weird and I get nervous." He blushed. "See I'm doing it now." "I feel like a damn fool."

"Maybe part of your brain is still telling you it's wrong to sleep with me."

"Maybe."

"Don't worry." "When the time's right I'll make sure the only thing you're brain is doing is thinking how much you want me." She kissed him. "Ok we have to get up."

A few hours later they were at the arena. Brie went into the Divas Locker Room. She saw Natalya.

"Nattie." She said happily.

"Hey Brie." They hugged. "John told me about the baby." "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

"I see you're starting to show a little bit."

"Yeah."

"So how are you and John doing?"

"Good." "I'm still hurt that he slept with Nikki but we're doing our best to move past it." "We're taking things slow." "I could be wrong but I think he's starting to fall in love with me again." Nikki walked in. She gave Brie a look of hate and disgust. Brie looked back at Natalya. "I'm outta here."

Brie went back to John's locker room to wait for him to finish his match. Her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She said. "Yes."

John came back to his locker room ten minutes later. Brie was sitting on the couch crying.

"Brie what's wrong?" He sat down next to her. She hugged him.

"The doctor just called." She said tearfully. "She said something could be wrong with the baby."

"What do they think is wrong?"

"I don't know." "She wants me to come in tomorrow so she can take a sample of my amniotic fluid to test for birth defects." "So I have to go back to Florida."

"I'm going with you."

"You have to work."

"They can find a replacement for the day." "You're more important." "Don't worry Brie." "Everything's gonna be fine." He kissed her.
