Chapter 57
With the start of the New Year, Mercedes and Colby decided to tell a few others about Mercedes being pregnant again. Other than their family knowing, of course. Those to tell were Colby's friends/fellow trainers of Black and Brave. Then there was Angela, Vicky, and Emily. Plus, Becky, Pam, and Ashley. Mercedes's seven closest friends. But also, Paul and Stephanie.
"It's going to be great," Mercedes said.
Colby smiled. He and Mercedes were walking into the arena for the Raw houseshow that night. It was Friday, January 4. Mercedes was eight weeks and four days pregnant.
"Who first?" Colby asked.
"I'm going to take Evie," Mercedes said as she was currently carrying their daughter. "And we're going to go see Aunt Becky, who we're going to call Aunt Pam and Aunt Ashley with."
"All right. You do that."
"Then we'll tell Stephanie and Paul."
"Sounds good."
"Okay, I'll see you later," Mercedes said. She gave Colby a quick kiss.
"All right," Colby said. He gave Evelyn a quick kiss on the cheek. "Daddy will see you and Mommy later."
"Bye-bye," Evelyn said.
"Yes, bye-bye," Mercedes said. "But only for a little while."
"Bye-bye for now."
"Yes," Colby said. He gave Evelyn another kiss on the cheek. He also gave Mercedes a quick kiss on the lips. The two then split off.
"We're going to go see Aunt Becky," Mercedes said as headed toward the women's locker room. "And then we're going to call Aunt Pammy and Aunt Ashley."
A few minutes later, Mercedes walked into the women's locker room. Everyone shared hugs, talk of their New Years and anything else that had happened in the last week since they had seen each other.
"There's my favorite little girl," Becky said.
Evelyn smiled as she reached for Becky from her mother's arms. Mercedes happily gave her daughter over to her friend.
"Auntie Becks missed you," Becky said. She gave Evelyn a few quick kisses on the cheek.
Mercedes grinned watching Becky with Evelyn. She loved it.
"So, there is something I want to tell you, Becks," Mercedes said.
"What it is?" Becky asked, smiling at her friend.
"Well, I want to talk to you with Pam and Ashley as well."
"Facetiming then?"
"Yes," Mercedes said. "Let's go somewhere more private where we can talk with them."
"Evie and I are right behind you," Becky replied.
Mercedes smiled. She led the way out of the locker room, Becky behind her with Evelyn in her arms. Mercedes found a quiet spot. She then went on her phone and called Pam through Facetime.
"Hi Mercedes," Pam said as she answered her friend's Facetime.
"Hi beautiful!" Mercedes exclaimed.
"How are you?"
"I'm great. Is Ashley nearby?"
"She is," Pam said. "Mercedes's calling."
Ashley quickly came into view on the phone for Mercedes to see. "Hi, Mercedes," Ashley said.
"Hi. How are you?" Mercedes said.
"I'm great."
"Hello my bestie," Becky said.
Ashley gasped. Mercedes quickly moved her phone so Becky could be seen.
"Becky," Ashley said.
"Yes, but also Evie."
"Evie," Ashley said.
"Where's my Goddaughter," Pam said.
"Here," Mercedes said moving her phone to get herself, Becky, and Evelyn into view.
"See Aunt Pammy and Aunt Ashley?" Becky asked, pointing to the screen.
Evelyn smiled. She pointed at the screen.
"Yes, that's Auntie Pammy and Auntie Ashley," Mercedes said.
"Hi," Evelyn said.
"Hi sweetie," Pam said.
Mercedes smiled. "Okay, I have something to tell you all!"
"What's up, Mer?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah," Pam said.
"As of today, I am eight weeks and four days pregnant!" Mercedes exclaimed.
The three all squealed.
"Oh, my Gosh, Mer," Pam said.
"Congratulations!" Ashley said. "Oh!"
"Thank you," Mercedes said. She looked over at Becky.
"I knew it," Becky said. "You said you wanted to talk to all of us. And I knew it!"
"Yes," Mercedes giggled.
"Congratulations, Mer," Pam said. "I'm so happy!"
"As is Colby."
"Oh, yes!"
"How did you tell him? Was he there for anything?" Ashley asked.
"I gave him an envelope on Christmas Eve with the first sonogram of the baby in it," Mercedes said. "I said it was one of his Christmas presents from me. He was so excited. He is!"
"It's so amazing, Mercedes!" Pam exclaimed. "You're having another baby!"
"I know!" Mercedes grinned. "I'm going to be a mom of two in just seven months!"
"Who else knows?" Becky asked.
"Oh," Mercedes said. "Um, everyone found out at Christmas at his parents' house. So, parents, siblings. He also told the guys at Black and Brave. Now it's you three. Then I will tell Angela, Vicky, and Em a little later. Paul and Stephanie are next."
"Cool."
"But some of the guys will find out too. Colby wants to tell a few."
"Can I tell Rami for you?" Ashley asked.
"Yes!"
"Yay! He and I can talk about it!"
Mercedes giggled.
Someone said something to both Pam and Ashley. Both women said something to whoever was talking to them.
"We gotta run, Mer," Pam said. "We'll talk to you soon."
"Okay, bye," Mercedes said.
"Bye," Ashley said. "Bye, Becky."
"Bye, my loves," Becky replied.
"Hugs and kisses," Pam said.
"Same to you," Mercedes replied.
Mercedes smiled as she looked over at Becky. Becky smiled at her. "So, I get to be the godmother of baby number two, right?" She joked.
Mercedes giggled. Becky laughed.
Mercedes and Becky with Evelyn went back into the women's locker room. Mercedes texted Colby. She asked if he wanted to meet up and tell Paul and Stephanie about baby number two. Colby replied with a yes.
Mercedes left Evelyn with Becky and everyone. Evelyn was happy to be with all of them. Mercedes and Colby met up and went to find Paul and Stephanie. When they found the couple, they all greeted each other with hugs.
"We have something very exciting to tell you!" Mercedes exclaimed with a huge grin on her face. Colby had a huge grin on his face as well.
"I think I can guess," Paul said. "Mercedes is pregnant."
Mercedes nodded her head. "Yes!"
"Congratulations," Stephanie said, hugging her.
"Thank you," Mercedes said.
"Congratulations, kid," Paul said, hugging Colby and patting him on the back.
"Thanks," Colby said.
Mercedes hugged Paul next.
"So happy for you, sweetheart," Paul said.
"Thank you so much," Mercedes said.
"How far along are you?" Stephanie asked.
"Eight weeks, four days."
Stephanie nodded her head.
"Does anyone else know?" Paul asked.
"His family," Mercedes said, looking at her husband.
"My guys at Black and Brave," Colby said.
"I just told Becky, Pam, and Ashley. I'm about to tell Angela, Vicky, and Emily."
"Well, your secret is safe with us," Stephanie said.
"Yes, we're going to wait a few more weeks to tell everyone," Colby said. "But I'm going to tell a few of the guys."
"Ashley is going to tell Rami," Mercedes said. "She might have already."
"Well, congratulations again," Stephanie said.
"Thank you," Mercedes said. She hugged both Stephanie and Paul again. Colby did as well.
Mercedes and Colby headed off.
Mercedes sent out a group text to Angela, Vicky, and Emily telling them she was pregnant. The three were super excited.
Angela: This is the best news ever!
Vicky: Yeah!
Emily: How's Colby feel? Excited?
Mercedes: Overjoyed, Em!
Vicky: It's amazing how fast you got pregnant.
Mercedes: Well, Colby and I did have a wonderful night after Raw after I stepped away from the ring!
Angela: Oh! *wink face*
Mercedes: Yeah. It was more than a wonderful night. It was freaking amazing and in every sexual aspect!
Vicky: Lol!
Emily: *laughing face*
Angela: *wink face, wink face*
Mercedes giggled. She was so happy to have talked her three best friends of the WWE: Pam, Becky, and Ashley. And then her three best friends outside of WWE: Angela, Vicky, and Emily. She couldn't wait to tell everyone else in a few weeks.
