Seth-
The drive home was quiet, parking in the driveway, we sat in the car.
"Were you going to tell me?", I asked.
"No", she said.
I looked at her, tears ran down her cheeks.
"I know it makes me a bad mother for even thinking it, but I didn't want to have another baby so soon. I wasn't going to tell you so you wouldn't hate me for it. We are already on thin ice as it is", she said.
"You were going to abort?", I asked.
"I haven't decided", she said.
She took a deep breath.
"I didn't want to tell anyone. Only Liam knew because he saw me coming out of the clinic and couldn't keep his nosy self out of my business", she said.
"So you wanted to do this alone?", I asked.
"Are you saying you wouldn't have stopped me?", she asked.
"Oh I would have and I am", I said.
"This is my body. I have plans and I wanted to finish those plans before having another child. Colby, Henry isn't even one yet. It's hard enough leaving our kids now while I go to school, you aren't home", she cried.
"So then you are just going to kill our baby", I said hurt.
"What about what I want Colby? You don't have to stop everything to change a diaper or help with homework. You don't have to feed one baby while holding another crying baby in your arms. I want to think about myself for once", she said.
I gripped the wheel.
"What are our friends going to think? I know they wouldn't agree to this, people will judge you for this", I said angry.
She shrugged.
"Let them. Their judgement isn't important to me. The only important judgement that does matter, is God's and he and I will discuss that along with my other sins when I reach him", she said.
"Please don't do this", I said softly.
"I'll be two months tomorrow", she said.
I shut my eyes.
"Will you hate me?", she asked softly.
I looked at her.
"No, I could never hate you. No matter what you do. I just don't like this decision", I said.
"You think I like it? It's breaking my heart", she said.
"If you decide to go through with this, I want to be there. If you'll let me hold your hand through it, can I be there for you?", I said.
"You're asking for permission now? I was expecting you to demand you be there", she said.
"I figured out what I've been doing wrong. I've never once asked what you want, I demanded and controled everything. It won't be like that anymore babe, it's gonna take me awhile but I'll fix it", I said.
"I would really like it if you were there with me and you can hold my hand, I'll need you", she said.
I nodded and asked for her hand. She placed it in my open palm and I squeezed it.
"I'll support you", I said.
She rested her head on my shoulder.
"How did you figure out it was a false negative?", I asked.
"I realized I hadn't gotten my period again and I thought maybe something else was wrong, maybe the stress of what's going on with us did something. I made an appointment with my doctor and he confirmed it", she said.
I nodded.
"Can I?", I asked, my hand hovering over her stomach.
She nodded and I placed my hand.
"Please, really think this over, okay. If it's me and work, I'll give up my title and spend more time at home, I'll beg for time off", I said.
"Colby", she said.
"I'm sorry, I had to make one last effort", I said.
She kissed my cheek.
"I think we should go in and let Mya get home", she said.
I nodded and we got off the car, walking in. Mya stood and grabbed her backpack.
"Thanks again Mya", I said.
"Get home safe", Savi said.
She nodded and left. I locked up the house, heading to my room. I spotted Savi with Henry.
"It's not selfish", I whispered.
She looked over at me.
"You wanting to finish school and nursing school before having another baby. I can wait and I will, then maybe in a couple of years we can discuss another child. We do what you want, I'll have your back", I said.
She came over to me and kissed me.
"Thank you", she whispered.
"I love you Savannah Lopez", I said, my lips brushing against hers.
She smiled.
"And I love you", she said.
Savannah-
Colby was packing for two weeks. He was heading to do the UK tour. I sat on our bed watching, my legs crossed.
"Savi please don't pout", he said.
"I can't help it, you're leaving me for two weeks", I said.
He smiled.
"They'll go by quick, I promise. You also need your space to come up with your decision, I don't want to influence it", he said.
Only a month has passed since our moment in the car, but things changed drastically between us, in a good way of course. He asked instead of demanded. He apologized to Liam and Marco without me asking, and when they had him win the US title from John Cena, he demanded them to give it right back to John Cena this Monday before leaving for the tour.
When they asked him to do interviews that took time away from me and the kids he declined them and put his foot down.
"What if I said I already know what I'm doing?", I asked.
He stopped and looked up at me.
"Okay, want to tell me?", he asked.
I shook my head no.
"I want you to have time to do a pro and cons list kinda. Alone time to process whatever I choose. How would you really feel about me if I did get an abortion or how would you feel if I didn't and kept the baby", I said.
He nodded.
"I can do that", he said.
I sat on my knees and pulled him into me, cupping his face in my hands and kissing him.
"Really think about it, okay", I said.
He nodded and placed his hand on my barely there bump.
"My mom should be here tomorrow night", he said.
I nodded.
Seth-
Sitting on the plane, Roman and Dean sat on either side of me.
"So?", they asked.
"She wants me to think about how I would feel if she aborts and how I would feel if she didn't", I said.
"And?", both Dean and Roman asked.
I chuckled.
"I'm gonna do it", I said.
"How would you feel?", Roman asked.
"It hurts just thinking about it, but I'm letting her make her own decisions and only giving my input if she asked for it. She has a point, this is her body and I will support her", I said.
"And if she keeps it?", Dean asked.
I smiled.
"It would make me the happiest man alive", I said.
"She's afraid you'll resent her, hate her down the line for doing this. That's why she wants you to have space to think, really think on how you would feel", Roman said.
"I think I would be angry, but I'll understand", I said.
They nodded.
"She was right, me having space to think things over, I need it", I said.
Savi-
We were watching Raw. Colby had lost the belt, but was still WWE champion. Two days later my phone rings.
"Hello", I answer.
"Savannah, this is Hunter", he said.
"Oh yes, hello", I said.
"Something's happened. He's okay", I cut him off.
"Something happened to Colby?", I asked, sitting down.
His mom came over to me and looked just as terrified.
"He's fine, just his leg. He got hurt in the ring and", again I cut him off.
"Where is he? Can I speak to him?", I asked quickly.
"He's out right now, but we are flying him home tonight", he said.
I sighed and squeezed his mom's hand.
"Okay, thank you for letting me know", I said.
"Sure and hey, don't worry about picking him up at the airport, I'm having an assistant help him and a driver will take him home", he said.
"Okay, thank you again Hunter, really", I said.
Hanging up I told his mom. She sighed as well. I placed my hand on my bump.
"Daddy's okay", I whispered.
