Chapter Fifty Three - a month later
So much had happened in the last month. Allie and Mark had gone to the Super Bowl and were lucky enough to see Jamie perform during the half time show. As must as Lily and Jeff had wanted to see him perform, they just couldn't bring themselves to sit through a full game, so instead they spent a quiet day together.
Lily and Jamie did lots of catching up and before returning home Jamie told Lily he'd be in touch to let her knew all the wedding details. Lily told him that he should give Mandy and Adam a call to catch up on all the news.
Mandy was still Women's Champion and was enjoying the matches she'd been having as they had been so enjoyable and a lot more physical. Adam had been doing lots of secret planning whenever Mandy wasn't around for her birthday. He decided he wanted to do something special for her that she and all her friends would enjoy. He'd let most of the people in on the secret only a few days before hand because he was worried that someone might accidentally tell her. After all she was always able to persuade people into things.
Mandy's Birthday
After training, Matt, Jeff and Mandy were changing before going out together. Matt and Jeff where just waiting for Mandy to finish in the bathroom before they hit the road.
"Hey Mands are you almost finished in there? Coz we're running late"
"Late for what?" Mandy asked from behind the cubicle
"Our reservation for lunch of course" Matt said lying through his teeth. He was just so glad that she couldn't see his face because she could always tell when he was lying to her.
"I'll be out shortly ... just give me a little privacy"
"Ok Jeff and I will be waiting by the car"
"Ok"
When Mandy finally arrived at the car the guys looked at her with concern.
"Are you feeling ok Mands?"
"Yeah why?"
"Because no offence but you don't look too good"
"Gee thanks guys. You sure do know how to make a girl feel good on her birthday don't you"
"We're sorry we..."
"Save it. Let's just go already" Mandy said getting into the back seat of the car. As they were driving Mandy stuck her head between the two front seats and said,
"Hey I thought we were going to George's for lunch" Matt and Jeff looked at each other before Jeff said,
"Slight change in plans"
"What? Where are you taking me?"
"You'll see ... were almost there" Matt said
"I hate you both ... you know I hate not knowing where I'm going"
"You'll like this one ... trust us"
"TRUST YOU ... this coming from the two guys that have been lying to me all day"
A few minutes later Matt parked the car.
"We're here," Matt said turning the engine off. Mandy looked out the window and was stunned. She jumped out of the car and took a closer look. She then turned to Matt and Jeff and said,
"What are we doing here?"
"You'll see" Matt said walking over to her and taking her hand. Jeff took Mandy's other hand and they lead her towards the main gate.
"Oh my gosh ... your not serious are you?" Mandy said as she saw a huge sign that read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY MANDY!' Adam saw how happy Mandy was and walked up to her and gave her a huge hug.
"Did you do this?" she asked
"Yeah but with lots of help from everyone else" Adam said pointing to where their friends were standing. Mandy was bewildered. She, Adam, Matt and Jeff headed over towards the gate of the theme park. As they did so Mandy said,
"I thought you had training"
"I guess you could say I got a better off" Adam joked, "I just hope you have a great time ... seeing you have the place to ourselves"
"Oh baby ... you are just the sweetest ... thank you so much for this"
"You haven't seen anything yet"
"Oh?" Mandy questioned
"Come and see for yourself"
A few moments later Mandy was surrounded by her close friends wishing her birthday wishes. After standing around talking for a while they all headed to a marque which was set up. Inside it had a buffet lunch awaiting them. They all lined up patiently and helped themselves to the food, before going and sitting down at the long table.
When Mandy sat down her head was spinning. Everything was so surreal and just so hard to comprehend.
"Hey Mands ... you forgiven Jeff and I yet?"
"Of course ... I'm sorry about before ... I really shouldn't have gotten angry at the two of you"
"Oh that's cool ... don't worry about it" Adam sat down next to Mandy and put his hand around her waist and said,
"How's the food?" Mandy took one look at the plate in front of her before getting up from the table and running off. Adam sat for a moment and said,
"Was it something I said?" before getting up and running after her calling,
"Hey Mandy ... Mandy stop..." Adam saw Mandy run into he Lady's and knocked on the door and said,
"Hey Mandy baby, are you ok?" After getting no response, he opened the door and walked in saying,
"Mandy..." As he did so Mandy came wondering out from the cubicle. She washed her hands and splashed water on her face.
"Hey are you ok?"
"Yeah ... just not feeling 100%"
"You should have told me you weren't feeling well"
"I don't think I'm sick"
"The hell you are" Adam said looking concerned
"I don't mean sick, sick..." Adam stood with a confused look on his face before she blurted out, "I mean I'm late ... I've missed my period ... I think I'm pregnant"
"WHAT?"
"I think I'm pregnant"
"I heard but..."
"I can get rid of it if you want..." Mandy said solemnly
"Is that what you want?"
"No but ... I thought that" Mandy started before bursting out into tears. Adam tried to comfort her but Mandy wouldn't let him. She backed away from him. Adam was about to speak when there was a knock at the door.
"Hey guy's is everything ok in there? I hope you aren't doing what I think you're going" Allie called
"We'll be out shortly. We'll meet you at the table"
"Ok ... don't be to long"
"Ok" Mandy replied before walking back over to the sink. She splashed more water on her face to try and hide her puffy eyes and tear stained face. After drying her face with a paper towel, she started making her way to the door, before turning to Adam who was still stunned and said,
"Please don't mention this to anyone. I don't want them to know"
"But Mandy" Adam said but Mandy just walked out the door and headed back to her friends, leaving Adam behind.
