It had been one week since that fateful day when she found out she was pregnant. Trish could admit that even though she wasn't proud to be in the position of an unmarried, soon to be single mother, a part of her couldn't wait for her little son or daughter to come into this world. A smile spread across her face at the thought and she instinctively rested her hand on her flat stomach. Her smile faltered as she thought of all she had to do. Namely, she had to inform certain people of her condition. Mr. McMahon was definitely one of her top priorities. For the past week, she had been so freaked out and panicked about how to go about telling him that she had simply made the excuse that she was terribly sick and that her doctor informed that she isn't to go on the road. Vince had seen Trish as a daughter to him and anyone could see that he was a bit bias towards the Toronto native. Everyone knew she was his favourite of all the women in the company, in fact, he held her in higher regards than most of the male superstars as well. She knew he would be happy for her, but that didn't subside the nerves. Vince wasn't the only person that needed to be informed on the situation. She had to tell her mother. She's always told her mother everything and it was killing her inside not tell her parents that they were going to be grandparents. The only thing that stopped her was that she still hadn't figured out a way to tell her parents the truth about Randy. Whatever problems were between her and Randy was to stay between them and she knew that she had to careful with her words before her father came hunting down the 'Legend Killer' before the 'Killer' became the 'Killed'. Last but not least, Mr. Legend Killer was obviously one of those people that she had yet to speak to and she knew there was no getting out of it. She couldn't very well not tell him. Admittedly, she would be completely devastated if he wanted nothing to do with their child, but on the other hand, if he did and she didn't tell him, she would deny their child a father and that was something she couldn't even entertain the idea of. She let out a loud sigh followed by a yawn. She stretched her arms out and let out a groan before leaning back up against Amy and Matt's couch. She had been staying with them since her visit to the doctor and Amy had already informed her that this is the only place she would be going until she had the baby. Trish had argued that she had wanted her child to be born in her hometown of Toronto and given her stubborn head, all parties had conceded that was only fair considering that she was the one stuck with the big belly for nine months. By this time, Amy stepped out of the bathroom, running a hand through her red, wet hair. She plopped down next to Trish on the couch and automatically leaned over, placing a hand on Trish's stomach.
"Hey there little one…how you doing in there?…I bet you can't wait till mommy's belly grows to the size of a balloon, cuz then you'll have soooo much more space to play around in there until you're ready to come out. And when you do, then you'll have me and your uncle Matt to play with and we are soooooooooo gonna play spoil you little one" Amy giggled as she spoke in a sing song voice. Everyday, Amy and Matt would sit down next to Trish and speak to the little one growing inside her. Matt would even buy little baby books and come home, take a seat next to Trish and read to her tummy. Trish would giggle, constantly mumbling about Matt's insanity, but he would only smile and say,
"Well…you don't have to listen…I'm not reading to you anyway" he'd stick his tongue out at her and then continue on with the story. After a few more words to her stomach, Amy focused her attention on the mother-to-be.
"So T, what do you want for dinner…and please don't say chocolate pickles…even pregnant, I don't see how someone could crave THAT" Trish playfully rolled her eyes.
"Well, how bout we go out tonight…I mean, I haven't been out in what seems like ages!" Trish exclaimed.
"Will Matt be home tonight" Trish asked. Lucky for Trish, there was a bit of a mix up with Raw communications and no one had notified Amy that she was to work tonight, so as a result, Trish had company tonight.
"Oh ya, actually tonight Raw's right here in NC so he'll be home tonight…definitely" Amy replied
"Well, if it's here, why didn't they tell you to get your butt down there?" Trish asked.
"Oh…when I talked to them, they forward me to Vince and he said that since it wasn't my fault and it's only a house show, that I could just take the night off. And considering that you'd be the only one home, I took him up on his offer so I could spend time with my favourite girl" she smiled.
"Awwwwwwwww….you're too sweet Ames" Trish said tearing up.
"Uh oh…those tears must be cuz of hormones" Amy joked.
Trish had experienced everything typical of any normal pregnant woman. Trish knew there were exceptions like some people don't get morning sickness. Trish's mother never had morning sickness with any of her kids and Trish only wished that that could have been genetic. The only problem with morning sickness for Trish was that it was morning, afternoon, evening and night. It's like whatever went in, threatened to come back up after a few hours.
"Hey…I'll tell you what…the house show is gonna be done in like a half and hour, so I'll just tell Matt to meet us up at the restaurant, Tropical Nights, as soon as he's done cuz by the time we get ready to leave, he'll be leaving the arena".
"Great idea Ames, I'm just gonna go and get ready" Trish said, getting up from the couch. Trish sighed relief as she entered the bedroom and towards the closet. She was beyond happy that they would be going out. She was spending so much time on that couch that she was beginning to look like it. And besides, without Amy and Matt, she had nothing to do but stay home. She had a few visits from Jeff who was also great company but alas, he had to go to Japan on tour so that left her, once again, by her lonesome self. After contemplating what to wear, she decided on something comfortable, the last thing she needed was to be dressed to the nines and completely uncomfortable, especially in her condition. She chose a pair of close fitting denim jeans that hugged her curves rather nicely, with a white tube top and top the outfit off with a simple necklace. She put on a white bandana and she was off. As she exited the room, she noticed Amy was walking out of hers as well. Amy had gone with a bandana as well, except hers was an army which matched her army pants and green tank top.
"Alright T, you all set?" Amy asked.
"Yup, lemme just grab my purse" Trish quickly shuffled to the coffee table and picked up her purse that carried all her bare essentials.
"Alright, I'm ready…let's go" Trish said excitedly.
Both women left the house, ready for a night of fun…or so they thought.

"Hey Matt, where you headed?" Shawn as in Shawn Michaels asked.
"Just meeting up Ames and T at a restaurant slash nightclub. The girls were itching to go out, especially Trish".
"Oh, sounds like fun…speaking of Trish, how's she doing? I heard she's sick, I hope the kids feeling better, it must have been some sickness to keep her out so long…."Shawn said in a very big brother way. He had to admit, Trish was like a little sister to him, as she was to a lot of the guys. Not to mention, his wife and two sons absolutely adore her. Rebecca would always tease her that she should get cracking on the kids because she would be a terrific mother.
"Sick?" Matt asked. "Well I mean, she gets the morning sickness but that's all usual…and besid….oops" Matt bit his tongue and turned bright red. Trish was going to kill him, pregnant or not, the woman was tough and could inflict some serious harm, especially on poor Matt.
"Matt?" Shawn asked curiously. "Would Trish by any chance be pregnant?…is that the sickness that's kept her away for a week?"
Seeing the look on Matt's face confirmed Shawn's suspicions.
"Look kid, I'm not gonna force you to tell me and besides…by the look on your face, I already got my answer. I'm happy for her, I know she'll be a great mom and I know that she'll tell me, when she's ready…she'll tell me…but as for you…she is so gonna have your hide when she finds out that you blurted…" Shawn chuckled in amusement.
"But don't worry buddy" he said putting both hands up as if surrendering, "She won't hear it from me, unless she breaks me down…you know how Trish is…she's got a way…" Shawn smiled before patting Matt on the back and walking away. "See ya later kid…and good luck".
Matt laughed nervously. He knew exactly what Shawn meant and it kind of scared him. Normally, under any other circumstance, Trish wouldn't have mind, but seeing her situation with Randy, and him being the father, she really wanted to work things out with him herself and the last thing she would want is for Randy to find out from someone else. Matt sighed, he had to tell her, he would just make sure he bought her nice big bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl. Hopefully by the time she put her spoon down to smack him, he'd be able to at least make it halfway to the door.
Matt checked his watch and noticed the time. He'd probably have the girls waiting now.
"Matt, where you headed to?" Shelton asked.
"Oh, just going out to eat…you got plans too?" Matt asked hurriedly. He might be in a rush, but he would at least ask something to show interest…he didn't want to be rude.
"Actually, a couple of us guys were gonna go out to eat and get some drinks since some of the SmackDown guys came down to NC. They've got a show here tomorrow night so we thought we'd all get together and do something…I was gonna ask if you wanted to come but since you're busy, I guess I'll take a rain check".
"Definitely man…listen….I gotta run, I'm gonna be late meeting up with Amy an…I gotta go, Amy so gonna kill me…take care man".
"You too" Shelton shouted to Matt's back as he ran to the exit.
"Yo Shel, you ready man or what?"
"Hey..John, my man…Cena's in the house" Shelton laughed giving his good friend a handshake and hug.
"When did you get in, last I talked to Mark he said you guys were all gonna be coming down together" Shelton asked.
"Well Mark arranged for Maven to pick him up and I knew better than that because Maven's never on time for anything, so I called Randy and told him to come pick me up" John laughed at the thought of poor Mark Jindrak sitting on the curb at the airport waiting for the always tardy, Maven to arrive. He'd make sure to laugh at Mark whenever he was lucky enough to show up.
"Okay…so we all set to go to the restaurant? I heard it had really great food and it also turns into a night club after 11 pm, so we'll definitely be seeing some ladies tonight" John said with a big goofy grin on his face.
"Hey guys, I just got off the phone with Maven and surprisingly, he's not that late, he just picked up Mark and they're just gonna head down to the restaurant and meet us up" Randy said as he approached his friends.
"So I guess it's you, John, Charlie, and myself riding in one rental" Randy said, speaking to Shelton.
"Alright, well, let's get this show on the road…I'm hungry man" Charlie said.
"Dude, you're always hungry" John said, making all the men chuckle, including Charlie, because he knew it was true.
Once in the car, Randy turned around in the driver seat to his comrades,
"Alright boys, let's go get some real food, I have to agree with Charlie here…I'm starving".
As he pulled out of the parking lot,
"Hey Shel man, you didn't even tell us where we're going man, how I'm supposed to drive?" Randy asked his friend as he tried to figure out which way to turn out of the parking lot.
"Oh, don't worry I got the directions right here, it's this really hot place right now, a lot of people pack there, 7 days a week, my brother's vacationed here before and said that we'd definitely love it…it's called Tropical Nights".
And they were off…..
