Chapter 12

Mercedes ignored the negativity, all the nasty comments and responses from people. It kept coming. But she ignored it. But she did get positivity with the negative. She had positive comments and responses from people. Those made her feel great.

However, Mercedes also tried enjoying life. She had tons of with Colby. Their dating relationship developed into its own thing. The two each spent time with their friends individually, but also everyone together.

Time passed through a couple months. Colby was true to his word. He was taking care of Mercedes. He made sure she was okay with everything. He let her do her own thing, of course. But at the end of the day he made sure she was taking care of herself for her health and that of the baby. Mercedes was doing that.

Mercedes took care of herself and that of the baby. She still didn't care about how the baby was conceived. She put that out of her head most of the time. She enjoyed being pregnant. It was a great experience. And she enjoyed experiencing it with Colby. He was happy to be there with her with each passing day.

And all this happened in the last three months. And with that Mercedes was twenty weeks pregnant. With being twenty weeks pregnant, Mercedes had an appointment to see how both she and the baby were doing. But also for her to find out the sex of the baby. Which she was most looking forward to.

There was even more excitement, though. Ashley with Rami, Becky with Fergal, and Pam as well Leah (Carmella) with boyfriend, Bill Morrissey (Big Cass), and Lexi (Alexa Bliss) with fiancée Matthew Adams (NXT star: Murphy) would all be in Boston for a good time.

"I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time," Mercedes said as she and Colby were in the room waiting for the mid-wife.

"I have been too," Colby admitted.

Mercedes smiled. The last three months with him had been so amazing. He had been so good to her.

"Knock, knock," Kendra said, coming into the room.

"Hi," Mercedes said.

"Hi. Hello you too, Colby."

"Hello," He replied.

"How are we today, Mercedes?" Kendra asked.

"So excited to find out the sex of the baby!"

Kendra smiled. "Good. We'll get to that in just a few. I want to check your vitals as well as the baby's."

"Sounds good."

Kendra checked Mercedes's vitals first and then that of the baby. "Both are great.

"Good," Mercedes said. She looked at Colby with a grin. He smiled back.

Kendra checked a few other things out with Mercedes. She then got the ultrasound machine ready.

"Here we go," Mercedes grinned. Colby returned it.

Kendra moved the wand around Mercedes's belly. Kendra looked at the screen and over to the wand for where to move it to get a better look at the baby.

"Here we are," Kendra said.

Mercedes was so excited to know. She was getting antsy to know.

"It's a girl," Kendra said, looking at Mercedes.

"Really?!" Mercedes squealed with delight.

Kendra grinned. "Yes, it's a girl." Kendra then pointed to the screen showing the female genitalia.

"Oh, my God!" Mercedes said, looking at Colby. He smiled at her. He knew she had wanted a girl.

"I am so excited!" Mercedes said when she and Colby were outside the building to the doctor's office.

"I know you are," Colby said.

Mercedes grinned again. She turned to her boyfriend, wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him quick peck on the lips. "Thank you for being with me like always."

"You're welcome as always," He replied. He then gave her a quick kiss.

"Come on," Mercedes said. "We need to make sure we are ready for when everyone is here to have fun."

"Aw, yes. You ladies are going to drive all us men crazy. But in a good way."

"You're damn right we are. Come on."

Colby smiled as she grabbed onto his hand and the two headed off.

Later that afternoon, Pam arrived at Mercedes's apartment. Mercedes's had an extra room for Pam to stay in. The rest of the gang were staying at a hotel.

"My Pammy," Mercedes said, giving her friend a huge hug.

"Hi," Pam replied.

"How was your flight?" Mercedes asked pulling out of their hug to look at her friend face-to-face.

"It was good. I was coming to see my favorite Boss."

"And she is happy to have her Hugger."

Pam smiled. She gave Mercedes another hug. The two then turned their attention to Colby.

"Hi Colby," Pam said.

"Hey," He replied. "How are you?"

"I'm great," Pam replied giving him a quick hug. "Have you been taking care of my girl?"

"Always. She's my girl too!"

Mercedes smiled as they both looked over at her.

"Okay, I want to know about the doctor's appointment this morning," Pam said.

"How about you get settled in first and then I tell you?" Mercedes suggested.

"All right. But I better get to know the sex of the baby before anyone else of our gang tonight."

"You will."

"I got your bags, Pam," Colby said.

"Thank you," Pam said.

Colby grabbed onto Pam's bags and took them into the spare bedroom. She followed him. Mercedes smiled.

A few minutes later, Mercedes was in her room with Pam. She told her it was a girl. And they both squealed with delight. Pam gave her a big hug. Mercedes had wanted a girl.

A few hours later, Mercedes, Colby, and Pam got dressed to go out and have fun with their friends. The three met the four other couples at their hotel in the lobby. Once all the women saw each other there were big hugs and group hugs. Mercedes then greeted each of the guys.

They headed off to a restaurant to get some dinner. At dinner, Mercedes told everyone the sex of the baby. Becky, Ashley, Leah, and Lexi were very excited for Mercedes. Because they knew she had wanted a girl just like Pam did.

After dinner the group headed out to go dancing. All six female superstars were ready to dance like no one was watching and have fun just like they did so many times in the women's locker first at NXT events and now WWE events.

Mercedes had lots of fun with all her friends. It was always nice when everyone could get together without having to worry about an event or whatever with work. Everyone deserved time to relax and have fun.

The girls were mainly the only ones that danced. However, their men did join them.

"So when's the big return, Fergal?" Colby asked as he sat with Fergal and Rami. Bill and Matt were dancing with their girls.

"A couple weeks," Fergal replied with a smile. "Just in time for WrestleMania. And I'm going for the Universal Title."

"Amen to that," Colby said.

"How are you doing with this whole pregnancy thing?" Fergal asked. "I really don't ask about it from Becky. I just ask how Mercedes is. And gives me a little update. But I don't ask anyone else about it either."

"I'm loving it!" Colby admitted. "Just like Mercedes doesn't care about how the baby was conceived anymore. I don't care how she was either. I love being there with Mercedes and taking care of her. I love experiencing all these things she is. It's really awesome. And I am in love with her!"

Fergal and Rami smiled at each other. Neither Colby nor Mercedes had told each other they loved each other. But they had both fallen in love before they actually started dating three months earlier.

"I knew you were," Rami commented. "We've all known each other for a long time and we know when someone is in love or really likes someone."

"Friend's intuition," Fergal said.

"Oh, yeah."

Mercedes was having so much fun dancing with her friends. It had been awhile since the six had been together. Mercedes was dancing with Pam, Becky, and Ashley, her three fellow Four Horsewomen.

"Hey babe!" A voice said.

Mercedes froze. It can't be! She thought. Please don't let it be! Please don't let it be!

Mercedes turned around. She saw him. She saw her rapist standing in front of her.

"Hey babe!" He said with a smile.

"No! No! No!" Mercedes cried out, backing into Becky.

Everyone's attention turned to Mercedes.

"What's wrong?" Pam asked.

"It's him! It's him!" Mercedes said.

The girls all looked over to the man standing just a few feet away. He smiled.

"What's wrong?" The man asked.

"What's going on?" Colby asked as he, Fergal, and Rami came over. They had been not too far away sitting when they heard Mercedes.

"It's him! It's him!" Mercedes said. "He's Glenn Parsons, the one that raped me!"

Leah, Bill, Lexi, and Matt had moved over to their friends when they heard Mercedes.

"You?!" Colby said. "You, son of a bitch!" He went to grab Glenn.

"Easy, Colby," Rami said, grabbing onto his friend. Matt came over and grabbed Colby too.

Glenn laughed. "I'm sorry did I do something to offend you?"

"You're damn right you did," Colby snapped back. "You hurt my girl!"

"Your girl?" He asked. "Well, when I met her she was single."

"Things can change in about four months!"

"They sure can. And you're pregnant? How lovely, Sasha!"

"Sasha?!" Mercedes said.

"Oh, yes! I know who you were and I know who everyone else is here. There's Seth Rollins, who's not to happy. There's Murphy from formerly Blake and Murphy. And I see Alexa Bliss just behind you. Then there's also Sami Zayn holding back Seth. I see Finn Balor as well. Then I see Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley beside you, Sasha. And Carmella with Big Cass.

"But I saw your interview with Michael Cole three months ago. Saying you were raped and that you were pregnant. So courageous telling the world that!"

"So you admit you raped her?!" Colby said.

"Oh, yes, I did. The best conquest ever: Sasha Banks!"

"Son of a bitch!" Colby said, trying to get at him. Rami and Matt were still holding onto him.

Glenn just laughed.

Mercedes stood with Becky and Pam on either side of her, their arms wrapped around her. Mercedes crying a little.

"If you won't let Colby at him," Ashley said. "I'll get at him!"

"Easy, Ash," Bill said grabbing onto her.

"No, no, Big Cass. Let them at me. Then I can get them arrested for assault and sue them. Then I'll rank in the money. And maybe I should sue custody for our unborn child, Mercedes. That way I'll make even more money."

"Is that what you want?" Colby asked. "Because if it is I'll pay whatever you want!"

"Lovely. Because there is something you would want from me in all honesty."

"And what's that?"

"Actually, Mercedes you would want this?"

"I want nothing from you!" Mercedes sobbed.

"Actually, you do. I know when that child is born you will need to put a father's name on a birth certificate. I looked it up. You can't put another man's name on that birth certificate that isn't the biological father. That is fraud. But I know you would love for me to sign away my rights that way maybe you could leave the father part blank and maybe someday someone would love to adopt that child of yours as his own. But I will gladly sign my rights away."

"I will pay whatever you want to do that!" Colby snapped.

"I knew someone would," Glenn said with a smirk.

"I will do anything for the woman I love!"

Mercedes smiled at what Colby had just said. Becky and Pam smiled at each other. They all knew as well neither Mercedes nor Colby told each other they loved the other.

"Isn't that sweet?! He loves you, Mercedes!"

"You shut your mouth and look at me!" Colby said.

Glenn smiled and looked to Colby.

"You tell me how much you want and I'll pay it!"

"I will. But we must go through legal means. I need to have an official form with signing away my rights."

"We'll get it!" Mercedes snapped.

Everyone looked at her. She had been so quiet except for her sobs and her speaking that one time.

Glenn smiled. "Here's my information." He held a piece of paper.

"Let me go!" Colby said, glaring at Rami and Matt. The two let go of him. Colby straightened up. He snatched the paper from Glenn.

"Nice meeting all of you!" Glenn said. "I'm sure you'll be in touch soon, Mercedes! And when you are we'll take care of everything and then you'll boyfriend can pay me the money I want!"

"Oh, I'll pay it!"

"Good. Good night to you all!"

Glenn then walked away.

Colby pushed Rami out of his way and went over to Mercedes. Becky and Pam backed away. Mercedes quickly threw her arms around Colby as quickly wrapped his around her, holding her as tight as possible.

Their friends walked a little away to let them have privacy. They could not believe what had just happened but they knew it was something Mercedes and Colby were going to do. They were going to make sure to terminate Glenn's parental rights to Mercedes's unborn daughter.

After a few minutes, Mercedes and Colby pulled away from each other and looked at one another.

"You'd really pay whatever he wants for me?!" Mercedes asked.

"Yes, I do," Colby replied. "I'd give him all my money if he wants! I love you, Mercedes! I'd do whatever to take care of you and protect you. The same goes with your baby girl! I want to take care of both of you!"

"I love you too, Colby! And I want you to take care of her too."

"And I will. As long as you'll have me."

"I'll have you forever!" Mercedes said.

Colby smiled. He leaned in and kissed her passionately.
