Ctinaisfashion - I looked online trying to figure out if a non-biological father could be put on a birth certificate. What I read said it was fraud and could not be done. Plus I think it was a father had to terminate his rights as a father for someone else to adopt his child. That's what I was going at, for Glenn to terminate his rights as the father of Mercedes's baby so Colby could later on adopt the baby as his own. But then again the legal information online might not be all correct. Thanks for the concern. I'll work on it. :)

Chapter 14

A few weeks later, it was WrestleMania week in Orlando, Florida. Mercedes was super excited. She couldn't wait to spend time with all of her friends on the Raw and SmackDown roster. She looked forward to watch the show as well like everyone else in the WWE Universe was. But also she was making a few appearances.

Those appearances Mercedes looking forward to. She couldn't wait to see what the WWE Universe had to say to her about her pregnancy. People were still being nasty with her about "her rape" as they claimed. However, if someone was going to be nasty with her in person at those appearances, security was going to make them go elsewhere. Mercedes really didn't need that stress on her, which in turn would be put on her baby.

"Hello Orlando, Florida," Mercedes yelled when she and Colby were outside the airport arriving just arrived for WrestleMania 33 week.

Colby laughed. "Sasha Banks is most definitely in Orlando."

"Hell yeah! I might not be competing, but I get to enjoy the fun that is WrestleMania as always."

"You sure do. And I have every intention of making it be enjoyable with all the fun."

"I have no doubt in my mind you will."

Colby laughed. "Come on. The driver's waiting."

Mercedes nodded her head. The two went over to a large black SUV. The driver got out of the vehicle and walked to the back, opening up the trunk. Mercedes and Colby moved over toward him with their bags. While the driver got their bags in the trunk, Mercedes and Colby climbed into the backseat of the SUV. Once the two were settled into the backstage and the driver was back in the driver's seat, the driver made his way through the parking lot to get out to the main road.

"This WrestleMania is going to be so much better than last year for me," Colby commented.

"Yes, you'll be competing. And I know you are going to kick ass," Mercedes replied.

"Well, that is two reasons. But there are two others. I have one of the most beautiful women in the world sitting next to me and by my side most of the time this week. As well as an unborn baby girl going to cheer me on from inside Mommy."

"She sure will," Mercedes said with a bright smile.

Colby smiled back. He leaned over and kissed her.

WrestleMania week was as fun as that year as it had been the year before for Mercedes. However, Mercedes would not be in a huge women's match like she had the year before at WrestleMania 32. For WrestleMania 33, she would watch from backstage instead of the special seating on the highest level for WWE workers to see the event.

But Mercedes made her few appearances, which she enjoyed. She loved signing autographs, taking pictures and talking with her fans like she always did. Most of them loved taking pictures with her as she was pregnant too. The fans that came up to her were nice and were not nasty to her about her rape or her pregnancy.

Some fans did ask her about Colby. Mercedes and Colby had tried to keep the down low on their relationship like a lot of WWE Superstars wanted to do. People did see them of course. And quite a few fans went crazy. Neither Mercedes nor Colby commented on it. They did post a few pictures on social media together, but they were with friends most of the time.

"How have you been since your attack?" A fan asked.

"I have been doing great," Mercedes answered. "Really great. I am happy for my little bundle of joy."

"When are you due?"

"She is due in July."

"You're having a girl?!" The fan asked with a bright smile.

"I am and I am super excited," Mercedes replied with her own bright smile.

"Can I ask you something else?"

"Sure."

"Are you dating Seth Rollins?" The fan whispered.

Mercedes grinned. "I have for almost five months," She whispered back.

The fan's face lit up.

"Shh," Mercedes said.

"Yes, it'll be my secret!"

Mercedes laughed. "We'll probably tell people eventually. Let the people speculate, but we'll admit it later. Like Renee Young did with Dean Ambrose."

"Oh, yes. And they are so cute together!"

"I agree."

Mercedes said good-bye to that fan a moment later. She then finished up the autograph signing and picture taking not too long after.

As Mercedes left the table from the signing. She got a sudden idea. She kind of wanted to let the fans know Sasha Banks was dating Seth Rollins. But it was Mercedes Kaestner-Varnado really dating Colby Lopez.

"I love you, Sasha!" A fan called.

Mercedes grinned. "I love you too!" She called back. "But not the way I love my boyfriend, Seth Rollins!"

"What?!"

Mercedes grinned. She kept on walking.

"Bold move, Mer," One of the security guards commented.

"Thanks," She replied.

Colby arrived for his own autograph signing as Mercedes was leaving from hers. The two were about to walk past each other.

"Hi," Mercedes said.

"Hey," Colby said.

"I'm confirming fans suspicions about Sasha and Seth dating."

"Okay. I'm game," He replied with a laugh.

Mercedes grinned. She leaned in and kissed him passionately.

Cheers and screams came from the fans of the WWE Universe all around them.

Mercedes and Colby pulled away after a few seconds. Colby then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Sesha Ballins forever!" A fan cheered.

"Hell yeah!" Another cheered.

Mercedes and Colby laughed. They gave each other a quick kiss on the lips and went their separate ways.

"Slut!" Someone shouted.

"I'm not a slut!" Mercedes yelled back to the fan. "I don't sleep around. And don't say I do, because I am pregnant! You all know why I'm pregnant so leave it at that!"

Mercedes shook her head as she continued to walk.

"I walked into that one myself when the fan called me a slut," Mercedes admitted as she talked to Pam, Ashley, and Becky later.

"F that crap, Mer!" Pam commented. "You are no slut and you were just defending yourself."

"Very true. Whatever, though. I don't have the time for the stupidity for half of the WWE Universe."

"Amen to that," Ashley said.

A few days later it was Sunday and WrestleMania 33. Everyone was both excited and nervous. Even though he would be competing that night, Colby was nervous and excited for a different reason. This was the day he planned to propose to Mercedes. He was going to do it before the show got under way. He was going to do it in the middle of the ring. He also had the help of Paul, Stephanie and a few others. But when they would be in the ring, some of their friends would be ringside. Colby's idea was that it would be Mercedes's WrestleMania moment, but not in front of all the fans. However, she would be in the middle of the ring getting a WrestleMania just not in front of a fans, only friends.

"I have an idea for you," Colby said as he and Mercedes stood not too far away from the stairs leading up to the entrance ramp.

"What?" Mercedes asked for a bright smile.

"I think you should have your own WrestleMania moment now. I know the seats aren't filled with fans, but there are some fans out there already."

Mercedes grinned. "Are some of our friends out there?"

"Yes, but Seth Rollins has to be out there first. I'm not doing an entrance. But I just want to be out in the ring when you come out."

Mercedes laughed. "Okay, I'll humor you."

"All right," Colby said. "I'll see you out there."

Mercedes chuckled as he walked away from her and up the steps toward the entrance ramp. Mercedes walked over there herself.

"We'll give you a signal in a moment," The crewman said.

"Thank you."

Colby smiled as he walked down the ramp and to the ring. Ashley with Rami, Becky with Fergal, Pam, New Day, Kevin Owens, Stephanie, Paul, Mick, and a few others were behind the barricade or in front of it.

Colby got into the ring. He gave a thumbs up. Paul then cued to the crewman to play Mercedes's theme.

"Your go, Mercedes," The crewmen said as he began to play the song.

Mercedes grinned. She walked out on the ramp. She thought it was a little silly, but Mercedes loved doing a small entrance. She had missed it.

Mercedes looked toward the ring. She smiled as Colby stood it in. She laughed a little when she heard the sound of her friends cheering for her. She walked down the ramp and took a look over to see who was all out there. She saw Stephanie, Paul, and Mick. She wondered what was going on.

Mercedes walked all the way down the ramp. She looked over at her friends as they cheered for her.

"We love you, Sasha!" Austin Creed cheered with Ettore and Kofi.

Mercedes laughed. She walked over to the steps and climbed them. Colby came over to the ropes and held them open for her. She climbed in between them. Once inside the ring, she looked to Colby. He smiled at her. He grabbed onto her hand and told her to face where their friends were.

"Sasha! Sasha!" Pam cheered.

"Sesha Ballins!" Becky cheered.

Mercedes laughed.

"Here, here," Colby said as he quickly took some things from a crewman.

Mercedes looked to see what it was. She laughed. It was a pair of her glasses, a Legit Boss necklace and Legit Boss rings.

She quickly put the necklace on as well as her rings. She took the glasses and put them on. She turned back to her friends and did her little move to the side. She then held her hands up showing off her rings which said Legit Boss.

Everyone continued to cheer at her.

Mercedes continued to laugh. She lifted the glasses up and placed them on her head. She looked over at Colby. Colby smiled at her.

"Okay, I need you take these off now," Colby said.

"Okay," Mercedes said. She took the necklace, rings, and glasses off. Colby took them and handed them back to a crew member.

Mercedes smiled at him as he looked at her again. He smiled back at her. He was looking nervous all the sudden. Mercedes wondered why.

Colby grabbed onto both of her hands.

"Mercedes," He said. "I don't want to make a huge speech here. I just want to say a few things."

Mercedes grinned. Is he proposing?! She wondered.

Colby continued to smile at her. "The last six months with you have been great. I have loved being there for you and taking care of you and the baby. I love you so much too. I have loved no one the way I love you. I can't wait for the baby to be born so I can definitely take care of both you and her. Because for the rest of my life I plan on taking care of both you and her."

Colby pulled a small box from his pocket and opened it up to reveal a ring. Mercedes grinned.

"Mercedes will you marry?" He asked.

"Yes!" Mercedes exclaimed. "Yes, I will!"

Everyone at ringside cheered. Colby smiled. Mercedes held her left hand out for him to put the ring on. Once the ring was on her hand, Mercedes quickly kissed Colby and then hugged him. Colby wrapped his arms tightly around her.
