Chapter 58
One month later, on February 4th, Mercedes decided to tell the entire world about being pregnant. When she woke up that day, she went on Twitter and sent out a tweet:
Today is a great day, because I am exactly 13 weeks pregnant! WWERollins and I are having another baby!
The WWE Universe and others went crazy on Twitter
When Mercedes and Colby arrived at the arena for Raw that night, everyone was very excited for them. They received many congratulations as well as hugs from certain people. As soon as Mercedes entered the women's locker room, everyone was so excited. She had a big group hug with all the women of the current Raw roster.
Two months later, on Wednesday, April 3, both Mercedes and Colby were in a patient room at her OB/GYN's office. The two were both in great spirits. Just three days before that, March 31, it had been WrestleMania 35. And it was just as great as it had in years past.
But on that day of April 3, Mercedes and Colby were finding out the sex of the baby and they were both excited.
"No disappointments!" Mercedes exclaimed.
"No! No!" Colby replied. "We have preferences. But we'll take whatever we get!"
"Exactly!"
A moment later there was a knock on the door and Mercedes's doctor, Dr. Owens walked in. She did a quick exam of Mercedes. She took her vitals and listened to the heartbeat of the baby without the Ultrasound machine.
"Everything sounds good," Dr. Owens said. "Let's see if we can get a look of whether this little one is a little boy or girl."
Mercedes laid flat on her back. Dr. Owens squirted the gel onto Mercedes's belly. She then got the ultrasound machine going. Mercedes looked at her husband with a smile as the heartbeat of the baby was heard. Colby smiled back at his wife. He grabbed hold of her right hand with both of his and kissed it. Mercedes continued to smile.
"All right, here we go," Dr. Owens said.
Dr. Owens moved the wand of the ultrasound machine over Mercedes's belly.
"Here we are," Dr. Owens said.
Mercedes smiled.
"Okay, this is what I see," Dr. Owens pointed to the screen. "This right here is the male genitalia."
"Oh, my God," Mercedes said. "Really?!"
"Yes," Dr. Owens replied. "It is most definitely a boy!" She pointed it out and explained it to them.
"Oh, yeah," Colby said. "You can tell what it is when you get a closer look and understand."
Mercedes giggled.
"Yes," Dr. Owens said. "Congratulations on it being a boy!"
Twenty minutes later…
"I can't believe it!" Mercedes exclaimed as she and Colby were outside her doctor's office.
Colby smiled.
"It's a boy!" Mercedes squealed. "It's a boy! We're having a baby boy!"
"We are," Colby replied with a grin.
Mercedes grinned herself. She wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and kissed him. He wrapped his own arms around her and returned the kiss.
Colby pulled away from her lips a moment later. "I love you," He said.
"I love you too!"
"Well, since baby number two is a boy. Baby number three has to be a girl."
"Number three?" Mercedes giggled.
"Yep. But there is plenty of time for baby number three. We only need to worry about Evie and this little boy," Colby said.
"Yes."
Colby kissed her again.
Later that evening, the two told Colby's family in person. And then they told everyone else with a video message.
"Guess what else Colby said today," Mercedes commented as she was on the phone with Becky.
"What?" Becky asked.
"He said since baby number two is a boy. Baby number three has to be a girl."
"Baby number three?!"
"Yes," Mercedes giggled.
"Oh, my God. I love it!"
"I do too, Becks! He said there is plenty of time for baby number three, but Evie and our little boy are all we need to worry about."
"That is true," Becky replied. "But I'm sure a third baby would great."
"I'm up for it when the time comes. But ever since Colby and I got together and he was there with me throughout my whole pregnancy with Evie, he changed."
"You changed him, Mercedes," Becky said. "He was going to eventually ask you out before everything happened."
"I know," Mercedes replied. "And I talked to Glenn that night at the bar, because he was someone interested in me and stayed there because of it. I wanted Colby to ask me out and everything. And he hadn't, so I talked to Glenn and I thought he was nice. Boy, were we all fooled—me, Angela, Vicky, and Emily."
Mercedes began to sob.
"Oh, Mercedes," Becky said. "It's all right, sweetheart! I didn't mean to make you cry!"
"It's not your fault, Becky. You are right about me with Colby. I saw a change in him the moment he came back from his injury to all the way to that September. He waited for me, Becky. I was all he ever thought about when everything happened. And he was all I thought about too."
"I know. I know."
"And here him and I are," Mercedes said, stilling sobbing. "Married, a daughter who is nearly two and a son who will be here in almost four months."
"And leave it at that! You two are both happy and you're going to continue it!"
"I know! Just my emotions with the pregnancy."
"Yes, I do know. But I have something to tell you," Becky said.
"What?" Mercedes asked.
"I'm pregnant myself!"
"OH, MY GOD!" Mercedes squealed. Becky laughed. "Oh, my God, Rebecca Devitt!"
"Yes," Becky laughed.
"How far a long are you?"
"Ten weeks today. That's why I was pulled from everything for WrestleMania."
"I knew it was something more than that crap! I don't believe it!"
"Yes, it was the same with me and Fergal."
"Oh, yes!" Mercedes said. "The proud father!"
"He is."
"Who else knows?"
"Family, the bosses, Ashley, Rami, and now you. Everyone else is going to be informed soon," Becky said.
"What about Pam?"
"She's next!"
"Yeah! I am so excited!"
"Me too!" Becky exclaimed.
"Can I tell Colby?"
"Yes, you can. I figured you would anyway."
"You know me so well."
"I do."
Both women laughed.
Mercedes and Becky said good-bye. Mercedes headed from the living room and into Evelyn's room where Colby was putting her to bed. Mercedes smiled seeing Colby place Evelyn down in her crib.
"Good night, sweetheart," Colby said. He looked toward the door then. He smiled.
"Hi," Mercedes whispered.
"Hi," Colby said. He walked over to his wife.
Mercedes smiled as she grabbed onto both of her husband's hands and pull him into the hallway.
"What's up?" Colby asked.
"Becky's ten weeks pregnant!"
"Are you shitting me?"
"Nope," Mercedes said.
"Oh, so we know the true reason she was pulled from WrestleMania!"
"Yep."
"That's great, though," Colby said. "I have to congratulate Fergal now."
"Yes. Other than family, it's you, me, Ashley, Rami, and the bosses who know. Becky said she was going to call Pam next. Everyone else is going to find out soon."
"That's awesome. It's been a fun day for a few of us then, huh?"
"It sure has," Mercedes smiled. "And thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Colby asked.
"Being everything, I wanted and needed in my life for a friend, and then a boyfriend, a fiancé, and a husband. As well as a father for Evie."
"I don't need any thank you's from you for that, baby! I love you and you are what I needed and wanted too!"
Mercedes smiled as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Evie was what I wanted and needed with you," Colby said smiling and wiping away her tears. "And I am so happy to be having another baby with you and that baby to be a boy. Plus, baby one or two more after him."
"I love that: one or two more after him."
Colby chuckled.
"I love you, Colby," Mercedes said, quickly hugging her husband. "And I will forever!"
"I love you too, Mercedes," Colby replied, quickly hugging her back and tightly. "And I will love your forever as well!"
