Flashbacks: Week 2 – Undertaker vs. Batista, Test and Laura backstage segment.

After the events that had happened on Raw last week, Vince decided to make a little planned storyline with both Mark and Laura. Although he got Stephanie to run it past them they both agreed to it.

Due to the actions and words by Mark and Laura, Vince decided to play a storyline so he could get a little revenge on Mark for what he said. Vince still liked them both and wanted to be both personal and work friends again, but he knew it would take time for them to come around.

His storyline would also involve Test who would be following Laura around the arena trying to get her to be with him not Mark. But Vince was not aware of Test's true personal feelings towards Laura so he was unaware how pleased Test was to hear about this. He would surely try and seek some revenge on them both for getting Michelle fired. Whether Laura was pregnant or not, he'd still have his way with her.

Mark had a match against Batista who would be playing the heel, the plan was that Mark and Laura would come out to the ring, and then Vince would come onto the stage and address them about their actions last week. And as a result of that, he would ban Laura from ringside and make Mark suffer each week with different and what he thought, were tough opponents for Mark to face. So first it would be Batista who had no objections to it, as he respected Mark and was a good friend with Laura. So they had planned the match in the ring whilst talking and laughing and catching up with each other.

Laura was aware that she and Test had a segment coming up after Mark's match and he would come and make the save, but she was unaware how far Test would try and take it. She knew he'd come and speak to her whilst she was watching the match on one of the monitors, but what he was planning to do was a mystery. Worrying about it would get her nowhere, so she continued talking to everybody being happy and showing her positive spirit.

****************

Laura and Mark had spent the day together exercising in the gym and talking with friends. Mark did his usual workout whilst Laura just did some steady and not to strenuous exercises. Although she was willingly accepting the changes to her body, she still was controlling her weight and not going overboard with the eating. Even though her eating habits were crazy she still kept it to a minimum, especially with Mark keeping an eye on her as well.

They'd had a pretty fun day together just talking about old memories and spending time with their close friends. But now Laura was sitting on the couch in Mark's dressing room reading a magazine as Mark paced back and forth stretching his arms. He was stretching but was worrying about Laura and leaving her backstage.

Even when he'd never spoken to her before, he would still sit and watch her matches worrying about the high risk moves she did in the ring. Sacrificing her body for entertainment was a very respectful thing in his mind, but he still worried whenever she'd throw her body around the ring just to knock another diva down to the canvas.

But now as she sat in his locker room his worrying grew even more, now that she was his girl and carrying his child he was just panicking in case anything happened to them both. He sighed as he paced back and forth once more before stopping and crouching down in front of Laura, who was engrossed in her magazine.

Mark smiled but then kneeled in front of her and rested his head lightly on the top of the magazine gazing into her eyes. Laura smirked, aware of what he was doing so she cleared her throat and moved the magazine closer to her face still reading. Mark smirked and knew that she was playing a game, so he made puppy dog noises and tried to move the magazine again.

He heard her laughing behind the magazine and she eventually lowered it and said, "You can be so annoying sometimes" he smiled then spat his tongue out and she just gave him a funny look, which made him laugh.

"What do you want anyway, pulling me away from a good article like this?"

"You mean an article in a magazine is more important than your future husband?" he asked mockingly and smirked, as he loved it when they played stupid games like this.

"At this moment yes it is" he looked shocked at her answer and then playfully snatched the magazine away and held it above his head.

"Come get it then" he laughed as she got up and just looked at him "I can double team you here" she said motioning towards her tummy where their baby girl was growing.

"Nah she'd stick up for her daddy"

"Not if I have anything to do with it" then she stood on the couch and jumped to snatch the magazine back catching Mark off guard.

"Hey the use of couches in this match isn't allowed" he said and laughed as she did a victory dance and mimicked his tone in a squeaky voice. He growled then and tickled her sides making her laugh and drop the magazine, he laughed with her but stopped and looked at her smugly.

Laura got off the couch and sorted her t-shirt out and then her hair whilst glaring at Mark for messing it up. He knew how much she despised it when he touched her hair so he always did it to annoy her.

"Jerk face" she mumbled as she walked into the bathroom.

"I'm sorry what was that?" he asked in a playful tone, Laura swore under her breath but smirked.

"Damn your supersonic hearing!" she heard him laugh in the other room and she shook her head.

"Freak" she mumbled again and laughed when Mark said, "Hey that one wasn't nice"

"Dammit!" she said and laughed again, still surprised at his good hearing.

She came out of the bathroom heading towards the couch where Mark was standing getting his elbow pads out of his bag to put them on. But he turned around instantly when Laura said "Whoa" and held her stomach.

"What?" he said panicking slightly then shot over to Laura when she was unsteady on her feet. He put his arms around her when she went weak and fell back into him "What's wrong?" he said again still panicking.

Laura eventually got her balance back and said "She turned around again and it always makes me giddy and light headed" Mark still looked worried so she said "I'm fine now though, but sometimes she turns around so fast it gives me butterflies and nausea" she smiled at him and he eventually smiled back.

"Baby girl you're really gonna be the death of me one day" she smiled and then kissed his chest as that was how far she could reach standing next to him without standing on her tiptoes. He smiled and kissed her head before letting her sit back down on the couch to regain her composer.

"You sure you're gonna be alright here on your own?" he asked coming back over to her and sitting beside her "Yeah I'll be fine"

"You sure? Because we can go and tell Steph to let you stay out there with me instead of being sent away"

"I promise you I'll be alright"

"You sure about this Test segment?"

"Mark stop worrying I'll be perfectly fine, I'm sure he wont do anything to put me in harms way, we're good friends" Mark nodded but was still sceptical about leaving her alone in the back.

"Alright then as long as you're okay" she smiled and he smiled back, then she kissed him softly and smiled once more.

"I love you, I love it when you worry so much"

"I love you too baby girl and I hate it when I have to keep worrying about you" she laughed and kissed him once more. Mark was about to deepen it but there was a knock at his door.

"What?" he barked annoyed they were interrupted "Time to head out there Mark" one of the guys said before walking back down the corridor.

"Time to go baby girl" he murmured against her cheek making her smile. "Okay then" he got up first and then helped Laura to her feet and smiled widely at her bump which was forever growing.

"Stop staring at it" she said pulling her t-shirt down making Mark laugh.

"But it's gorgeous just like the rest of ya" he replied with a slight drawl to his words "Focus deadman" she said in a sexy tone before heading towards the door making Mark groan.

"Damn you for getting me turned on before a match" she turned around and spat her tongue out at him before opening the door and stepping out.

"Come on slow coach" she said teasingly and watched as he raised his eyebrows at her "Cheeky little brat" he mumbled as she giggled and grabbed his hand to drag him down the corridor to head towards the stage.

Mark walked out onto the stage with Laura next to him, he held her tiny hand in his as they walked down the ramp. He would have driven down to ringside with Laura but she refused, saying that she was too big to fit on the back and would probably take up all of the room. She'd made Mark laugh pretty hard with her refusal so he said he'd ditch the bike until she'd had the baby.

He smiled a little at the memory but then got himself focused again as he let Laura walked up the steps first to get into the ring. He followed afterwards and went around the ring saluting the crowds for them to take pictures. Laura stood and smiled at him as he went around the ring stretching his arms and bouncing on the balls of his feet warming up. Then he put his hand on the small of Laura's back making her jump a little at his sudden touch. But she smiled and put her arm around him as a hug and then waited for his opponent.

As planned though, Vince's music hit and he came out and stood at the top of the stage, he paced for a while before his music stopped and then he said "You two think you can get away with what you did to me last week?" he growled down the microphone and the fans started booing.

"What you did was unacceptable, I put my heart into that apology (Laura narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her hips, annoyed with his lies) but you two didn't accept and then you" he pointed to Laura "You Dizzy decided to slap me right in the face!" the fans cheered at that as the screen showed Laura smirking slightly with her hands still on her hips.

"And for that I'm going to punish you by banning you from ringside for all of the Undertaker's matches!" Laura had to act surprised at that but all she could show was annoyance, as he was only supposed to ban her from this match.

"And as your punishment Undertaker, you will now have to face this man!" then Batista's music hit and the fans booed and cheered at the same time, Batista was neither a face or a heel but now the fans chose to boo him. He walked down the ramp after setting his pyros off and then stopped and looked at Laura who had left the ring and started heading up the ramp.

They eyed each other for a second being serious but really he was reassuring her that Mark would be safe and that they'd be all right. She turned around and glanced at Mark one more time, before walking up the ramp with her ponytail swinging lightly behind her.

Mark watched her leave, feeling like his arm had been torn off. He hated it whenever Laura wasn't a ringside, banging the mat with her hand and shouting comments whenever he was stuck in a submission move. He loved hearing her voice and felt angry when he watched her walk away slowly.

But he had to focus on the man standing in front of him getting ready to fight. He knew the segment with Test was going to air straight after his match, but he had to remain focused and pray that Laura would be safe for 15 minutes.

Laura was sitting on one of the crates backstage with Amy, Matt and Jeff. It was Jeff who had spotted her first, after running ahead and leaving the other two behind. She was sitting peacefully watching the match but he knew deep down she was worried about the segment with Test.

"Hey Miss baby extreme" he said and she grinned when he sat next to her.

"Hey Mr Extreme" she said back doing their secret handshake and laughing. "How are you and baby extreme doing?" he asked placing a hand on her bump smiling when he felt she was kicking.

"We're doing okay, currently kicking the wind out of mommy whilst cheering for daddy" Jeff laughed and watched as Matt and Amy finally reached them.

"You're worse than a kid running around a supermarket" Matt said irritably but soon smiled at Laura's giggles. "You know how bad I am" Jeff said smiling proudly at that and Matt just rolled his eyes. Amy came and sat next to Laura, who placed Amy's hands on her tummy and she felt her kicking.

"Oh wow she's kicking!" Amy said excitedly and laughed.

Matt looked surprised and said, "What she's kicking? Let me feel!" he shook his hands rapidly to rid himself of the wrestling gloves he was wearing and when they were finally off, he put his hands on her tummy where there was room and smiled when he felt her kicking.

Laura was laughing hard at Matt's stupid glove thing and she said "Oh man I'd pay to see you do that again" she copied his actions and he laughed and tugged lightly at her ponytail. She laughed again but soon stopped when she realised that Mark's match would be ending soon and Test would be coming over with the cameras.

"Guys you better move as Test will be over soon"

"Aww man do we have to? I'd rather just kick his ass so I can stay with you and baby extreme" Laura smiled at Jeff's comments but said "I'm afraid you to have otherwise Vince will screw"

Jeff pouted and said "Fine" then he stomped off and Amy laughed as she watched Matt run after him and start play fighting.

"I'll come and get you after the segment" Amy said giving her a quick hug before running off when the camera man was approaching her with Test.

"Alright guys we're filming now" and then Test approached Laura who was sitting there watching the monitor. The cameraman followed them and the cheers were loud which meant they were on the screen and Mark would soon be going mad and storming backstage.

"Hey" Test said sauntering over smirking slightly, happy with how close he'd be able to get to Laura. She smiled at him and said "Hey Test" he smiled as he sat down on the crate with her, at first with a small distance between them.

He could already smell her sweet scent; it was filling his senses driving him crazy.

"How are you and the little one doing?"

"We're doing alright, just watching daddy"

"Seems to be a good fight"

"Yeah Taker sure knows how to fight" Laura said keeping it light and not using their personal names anymore. It was strictly ring names thanks to Stephanie making some new harsher rules.

"So you're serious about him then?"

"Yeah course I am, I love him more than anything"

"So no chance of us being together then?" he asked jokingly as planned but inside the anger burned deeply. Laura laughed her cute laugh and said "Afraid not but we can still be best friends"

Test slowly began closing the gap between them and said "Oh come on, we can have more than that"

Laura shifted a little further away from him getting uncomfortable by his words and actions.

"Like I said, me and Taker are a closed deal now so"

"You know he's not the one you want"

"He is actually" she replied irritably when he got even closer and was about to reach out for her belly, in which her baby girl was kicking away still.

"I don't think he is"

"Okay then you tell me who I want then" he laughed a little placing his hand gently on her belly, but Laura glared at him and threw it off. She knew Mark would be fuming now and on his way to come and make the save. She could hear the fans with mixed reactions but soon they changed to screams and cheers so she knew Mark was coming backstage.

"The person who you want most is me"

Laura made a disgusted noise and said "Yeah right, why would I want you?"

"Like you said we're practically best friends"

"Yeah so?"

"So we know each other and we have a good time together whilst talking"

"You're obliviously not listening, I'm with Taker and will be forever" Test grew even more irritable and soon grabbed her wrist and yanking her off the crate startling her slightly.

"And you're not listening to me, you will be with me whether I practically have to make you suffer to get you to say it in defeat" he laughed cruelly and tried to place his hands on her stomach again.

Mark where the hell are you?

Mark was near the end of his match knowing that soon Laura would be on the screen with Test. It filled his stomach with nerves and worry which kept throwing him off guard. He nearly screwed up a few moves but remained focused to get ready to chokeslam Batista with the fans cheering loudly. But they soon quietened down when she screen came on showing Laura sitting their quietly watching the match.

But soon the camera panned out to see Test sit beside her, Mark frustration grew as he watched on knowing he couldn't go up there straight away. Batista had to steal the victory from the distraction and get the pin. So that's exactly what he did, he pulled Mark back by his belt loops and rolled him up for the pin. When the ref counted to 3 he rung the bell and the fans started booing.

Mark looked completely stunned for a while as planned but his frustrations grew when he saw Test yank Laura off the crates to stand in front of him. He rolled out the ring and ran up the ramp and backstage as fast as his tired legs would carry him. He ran all the way down the corridors with the camera following him until he reached Laura and Test.

Just as Test was about to touch Laura again Mark knocked him flying. Then he stomped on him for a while until Test ran off "Get your ass outta here!" Mark yelled as he ran off out of the shot.

Mark turned to Laura who looked quite shaken "You all right?" he asked with his voice full of worry. Laura pulled him into a hug and Mark cradled her feeling her shaking slightly, she didn't say a word to him, she just hand her face pressed into his chest breathing in his scent. Even though he was sweaty, his masculine scent still remained making him smell gorgeous.

Mark continued to cradle her until the cameraman stopped filming and said "And that's a wrap, Laura you okay?" Laura eventually pulled back from Mark and nodded "I'm alright" the cameraman smiled and then bid them goodbye as he walked off with the other cameraman who had followed Mark.

"I'm sorry I left you baby, I didn't know he'd do that" he pulled her back into a hug and kissed her head. He ran his hand through her ponytail loving how silky her hair was.

"He scared me" Laura muffled into his chest making Mark tense up in anger.

"Well from now on, screw what Vince says. You're coming to ringside"

"But he said no"

"I don't care baby girl, it seems our friend Test seems to have more than just scripted feelings for you. And I can't afford to leave you back here alone baby I'd never forgive myself if something happens and I'm not there to protect you" she smiled into his chest but soon felt the air restricting around her with how tightly Mark was holding her.

"Mark something will happen right now if you don't give me some air" she muffled into his chest and she felt him loosen his grip "Sorry baby girl" he said whilst trying to suppress a laugh. She smiled up at him happy she'd gotten some air and just gazed lovingly into his eyes.

"All she did was kick the hell outta me whilst you were out there" she put his hand on her belly and he felt her kicking away

"Aww cheering for daddy already"

"Yeah seems you've found your youngest fan" Mark laughed a little and kissed her head "Why don't we go back to the hotel and we can order room service and think of names for her?"

Laura smiled at that and said "Okay then" he smiled and then put his arm around her protectively as they strolled down the hallways back to Mark's dressing room.

It was about 11:30pm before Mark and Laura got back to the hotel, to then suddenly be bombarded by different people knocking on their door. They all wanted to hang out, so soon it was Glen, RVD, Matt, Jeff, Amy, Shawn and Hunter sitting in the lounge area of their hotel room all talking and laughing. They'd all brought room service and were soon eating and just chatting away the night.

Mark had got in the shower just relaxing his strained and tired muscles, but he occasionally heard them all laughing and he smiled. It felt great to have a small circle of friends he could share secrets and problems with. They all helped him whenever he needed support and always cheered him up when he was miserable. He used to be a stubborn ungrateful little bastard when he got divorced, but now he was a gentle giant.

He had the most perfect girl to go to sleep with and wake up with in the mornings, someone to make him laugh until he nearly cried and somebody to hug when things got too much. And having the perfect group of friends was something he'd cherish forever as well.

Once he'd finished showering he changed into his grey sweats and a white vest before exiting the bathroom to head back to the gang. They were all sprawled out on the floor with the radio on in the background whilst talking and laughing. Laura was making Jeff laugh until he was rolling around on the floor struggling for air. They were certainly having a good time and he smiled widely before sitting himself down on the floor next to Laura. She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and placed his hands on the bump.

"So, we come up with any names yet?" he asked casually at the group and they all smiled.

"Oh yes we've certainly come up with a few" Laura said grinning at Jeff who began laughing again.

"Okay I'll ask that again, have we come up with any normal names for our baby girl?" he grinned at Jeff's frown and he said "Hey they were normal"

"Oh yeah because Speckles is a normal kids name" Amy said but soon laughed because it sounded so funny

"Yeah and Robbo is a great girls name" Laura said also laughing at Jeff's fake hurt look.

"I think they're great names, I'd use them"

"You're gonna have some weird kids then man" Hunter said making them all laugh "Hi my name's Hanky Hardy and I'm starting first grade" Hunter said in a child's voice making Shawn lose it and laugh on the floor. Laura laughed with Mark and Amy who was fighting back tears she was laughing that hard.

"Alright then, how about Barney?" Jeff asked again receiving a laugh off Amy.

"I'm sorry Jeff I forgot I was giving birth to a big purple dinosaur," Laura said in a stupid tone making Jeff and everybody else laugh "Plus it's a girl dummy, she can't be called Barney"

Jeff smiled and said "Barbie then?"

"Oh god it just gets worse" Laura said putting her head in her hands but laughed when she heard Amy sniffing wiping tears away from her eyes.

Shawn and Hunter were sitting there thinking and soon Hunter said "Mandy?"

Laura thought for a moment but said "Nah that doesn't go"

"Ok how about we both have 5 declines each?" RVD said and they all agreed.

"Okay then I'll start" Matt said smiling a little around the room and they didn't object.

"Julia"

"Decline" Glen said looking disgusted,

"Olivia" Rob said looking around the room and saw no objections. "Olivia is on the table," Mark said smiling. Rob looked smug but listened to the others.

"Mary?" Matt suggested.

"Decline" Amy said.

"Ava" Glen suggested.

"Decline" Mark said.

"Rain" Hunter suggested.

"Decline" Shawn said.

"Helen" Mark suggested.

"Decline" Laura said receiving a slight nudge from Mark.

"Agatha" Jeff suggested.

"Jeff why do you hate this baby?" Amy asked laughing at his silly names. Jeff smiled slightly then thought of more names. "That's a definite decline," Shawn said looking disgusted at the name.

"So apart from Matt and Rob we've all had a decline out of the 5" Laura said slowly making notes on a piece of paper.

"Sandra" Shawn suggested.

"Decline" Rob said.

"Bambi?" Hunter said.

"We call her Bambi she'll be beaten to death in the school yard" Mark said smiling "Yeah by Agatha" Laura added making them laugh again. "That's my first decline" Matt said watching Laura tick him off the list.

"Okay second decline" Laura said making notes again.

"Star" Amy suggested.

"Decline" Glen said making Amy scowl playfully at him.

"Betty?" Jeff said.

"I'm sorry Jeff am I having an 89 year old?" Laura said making him crumple to the floor laughing again. Everybody else laughed as well before stopping and thinking about names again.

"Belle?" Shawn suggested making Laura smile, she was about to reply but Mark said, "Decline" making her frown so she nudged him.

"Sorry baby girl but that doesn't really go with Calaway"

"Since when is it Calaway?" Amy asked thoughtfully sipping her drink.

"We both agreed Calaway" Laura said smiling with Mark and everybody else smiled back.

"Bertha!" Jeff suggested happily but was put down when they all shouted, "Decline!" and then laughed.

"My god we're never gonna find one" Laura said leaning her head back onto Mark who kissed her forehead.

"We'll find one" he reassured her smiling.

"How about Summer?" Glen suggested and smiled when they both nodded in agreement.

"Summer Calaway I can see that" Mark said smiling with his hands on Laura's tummy still.

"Or Lilly?" Amy suggested making Laura smile even more. "I like that I really do, but I think that could be hyphened with something"

"Like what?" Hunter asked as they all thought for a while.

Until Rob said "I've got one"

"Me too" Matt said.

"Me too!" Jeff said but was shocked when they said "No!" and laughed once more.

"How about Lily-Rose Calaway?" Matt said smiling and then Rob said "Or Lily-May Calaway?" Laura fell in love with them both and she looked at Mark for help.

"I love them both too baby girl"

"Argh what are we gonna do? I love them both" she said whining slightly but soon laughed. "I'll tell ya what" Rob said taking her hand "If me and Matt asked for match on Raw can the winner of the match have the names we suggested?"

Laura smiled up at Mark who nodded and said "That sounds fair, run it past Vince and we'll take it from there"

Matt and Rob both smiled before starting a small argument

"I'm gonna win"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am"

"Oh my god stop!" Laura said making them laugh. Mark laughed with her and put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head.

They had talked throughout the night and Laura was so happy that she had such amazing friends like them.
