Chapter 15
Mercedes could not stop smiling after the proposal. She had loved the way Colby had done it. And it was definitely her WrestleMania moment. Her boyfriend had proposed to her at WrestleMania, the show just wasn't under way.
"I have not been this happy since I found out the baby was a girl," Mercedes admitted to all the female superstars as they were all in the women's locker room together. "Okay, yes, I have loved each day with Colby. But this is truly a special day!"
"Of course," Trinity Fatu (Naomi) said. "Getting engaged is a pretty big deal. It means you're ready to spend the rest of your life with someone. Even if you might be engaged for a little while."
Mercedes grinned. "Hey Becky, how about a double wedding with you, me, and our fiancés?"
Becky laughed. "We'll see. There are bigger things to worry about tonight."
"Oh, yes, Finn Balor is going to recapture the Universal Championship!"
"Hell yeah! And we'll all be celebrating later."
"Always!"
Mercedes smiled big. She couldn't wait to watch Fergal's match with Becky for him to get back his title.
Colby could breathe a little more now that the proposal to Mercedes was done. The results had turned out great. Now his biggest concern was his match. Then once WrestleMania was over he would definitely be celebrating his newly engagement with Mercedes. He couldn't wait.
Mercedes did not mind being by herself while Colby's focus might be toward his match that night. She would get to be with him after WrestleMania and celebrate their engagement while also celebrating with their friends.
Mercedes enjoyed every moment of WrestleMania 33. However, when the main event came she was very excited. It was Fergal's match for the Universal Championship. But Mercedes's excitement was not as great as Becky's.
"My man's going to be a two-time Universal Champion!" Becky said as she danced in her seat.
Mercedes laughed at her.
"Don't judge me!"
"I'm not!" Mercedes exclaimed. "I don't think you're an idiot for dancing. You know I have danced a few times myself watching my man."
"Are you excited for being engaged now?"
"Yes, I am! I am so freaking happy!"
"I am so happy for you and Colby, but if you think about how you got together, it is kind of bad," Becky commented.
Mercedes nodded her head. "I know! But I don't care! I am so happy and that's all that matters right?"
"Of course. And Colby treats you like a queen. That's what every woman should have. And men should be treated like kings too. It works both ways."
"Yes. I spoil Colby too. And I might tonight."
Becky gave her friend a look of wonder.
Mercedes leaned over and whispered, "Sex."
"Really?" Becky asked.
"Yes," Mercedes replied. "I think I'm okay to go there. Yes, I might be pregnant and have a bump, but there are positions you can do to have sex."
Becky nodded her head. "None of my business in all honesty. But, I hope for the best."
"Thank you. Now we need to pay attention."
Mercedes pointed up to the monitor as Fergal was making his entrance. Becky grinned, looking at the monitor. Mercedes smiled.
"Yes!" Becky shouted, jumping to her feet minutes later after Fergal got the pin and the bell rang signaling the match was over.
Mostly everyone laughed at it. Others like Mercedes were settled by her sudden shout. They should have known it was coming. After a second or two, everyone clapped.
"Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! My man, or more like my demon is the Universal Champion once again," Becky said as she danced around.
Everyone laughed.
Some of the superstars headed over to where Fergal would eventually come backstage from. Becky was definitely one of them. But also Mercedes.
Fergal came through the curtain a few minutes after WrestleMania went off the air. Everyone clapped for him. He smiled brightly. Paul, Stephanie, and Mick were a few off them. Stephanie and Mick were happy because one of the biggest superstars of the Raw roster was back to being a champion.
Fergal went down a line hugging and shaking hands with friends and other WWE workers.
Mercedes smiled as she shall Fergal coming. She looked over at Becky. Becky grinned as she quickly went over to him. Mercedes smiled as Fergal quickly embraced his fiancée. Fergal squeezed Becky tightly. The two slightly pulled back from their embrace. Fergal said something to Becky. She replied and kissed him. Mercedes had a huge smile on her face.
"Hey," Colby said, coming up next to his now fiancée.
"Hey," Mercedes replied with a bright smile. She wrapped her arms around her now fiancé's neck and kissed him. Colby wrapped both his arms around her and returned the kiss. Mercedes pulled away a few seconds later. She then hugged Colby tightly. He tightened his hold on her as well.
"I love you, Mercedes," Colby said into her ear.
Mercedes pulled back from his embrace. "I love you too, Colby," She replied with a bright smile. "You have been one of the main people who has helped me get on with my life from my rape. You wanting to be with me and taking care me has meant a lot to me. The same with you wanting to take care of my unborn child. I appreciate it all. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and have a family together."
"Me too, Mercedes. Me too. When I came back from my knee injury last year, I just wanted to focus on work. But as we talked I grew to have feelings for you, strong feelings. And not having contact with you outside of work sucked the few weeks after your rape. I was happy when we were talking outside of work again. But then I worried a little when I didn't hear from you those few days when you found out you were pregnant. I knew something was wrong when I saw you when we returned to work after you found out you were pregnant.
"But despite all that, I was happy when you took me up on my offer to take care of you and be there for you. And I have loved it all. Despite being brought together the way we were; I definitely believe it was fate!"
"I believe it was fate as well. Sometimes the bad comes with the good, or sometimes the good comes with the bad. In this case for me with the bad came the good: you and this baby."
Colby smiled. He cupped her face. "I love you," He said as Mercedes gently placed her hands on the back of his wrists.
"I love you too, Colby," She replied. "And I want to be with you tonight…Intimately."
Colby nodded his head.
"I'm ready. Even if I am pregnant!"
Colby nodded his head again with a small smile. "I'd love that!"
Mercedes smiled herself. She kissed Colby again. His hands still cupping her face.
"All right, you two. Knock it off," Becky said.
Mercedes and Colby pulled apart smiling. They turned to Becky and Fergal. Fergal had his title on his left shoulder and then his right arm wrapped around Becky. Becky leaned into him, both arms around him.
"Congratulations, Fergal," Mercedes said.
"Thanks, Mer," Fergal replied. "I am a very happy man now. I have my title back. (He shifted his left shoulder) and my girl (He looked over toward her)." Becky smiled at him. The two leaned in and kissed. "Yes, life is good for Fergal Devitt and of course Finn Balor."
"Hallelujah!" Colby said.
"Oh, yes, but I have something to say to you, Fergal," Mercedes said with a bright smile.
"What?" Fergal asked.
"How about a double with all four of us?!"
Everyone chuckled. Fergal looked at Becky. "Maybe," Becky said. "Why the hell not?! The headline: Lass Kicker, Becky Lynch marries Demon, Finn Balor. And the Boss, Sasha Banks marries the Man, Seth Rollins. Who's wedding vows will be better?!"
Everyone laughed.
"I think it would be fun for a double wedding, actually," Becky said, looking at Fergal.
"I do too," Fergal said. "I think we'd invite most of the same people from work."
Mercedes smiled looked at Colby. Colby suggested. "Why the hell not?!" He said. "Let's have a double wedding."
"All right, awesome!" Mercedes exclaimed.
Colby, Fergal, and Becky laughed.
