The Sister (2) - Chapter 16
Of course, I would leave out the two new members of the McMahon / Martin family.Stephanie and Marissa being great timers, actually went into labor together at the same time.of course this time around Andrew and Shane were a little more laid back.figured they were pros on the whole baby delivery game, but they were both wrong, cause Steph and Riss had those boys running all over the room, and tripping all over themselves.Paul and I didn't get to see it for obvious reasons, cause we were down in Birmingham, Alabama, getting Paul rehabbed back to health.rehabbed??? Where did that word come from? Okay so I pulled it out of the sky.
So it's been about 3 months since Paul's been back on the wrestling tour, and we were just pulling into the arena parking lot in New York City, we'd been flying for the last 6 hours, and I had jet lag bad, I was so nausea, I couldn't hardly stand it anymore. I felt like I was going to throw up a few times, but managed to control myself. I knew that feeling, it was very familiar, I was tired, but sick like I was going to throw up.I was pregnant, I knew it, I just needed some sort of confirmation.
I went to the nearest hospital and they drew blood on me and did a urinalysis. About 3 hours later, I got a call on my cell phone and confirmed my tests were positive and that I was pregnant.yea now I have to tell Paul.hell maybe I could keep it a secret for 9 months and he wouldn't know a thing.he-he yea right!
Naturally he was in the arena gym, so I went down there, and surprisingly enough no one was in there, Xander was in Stephanie's office napping. Stephanie, Andy, Andrew and the new addition Steven Andrew Martin were in Steph's dressing room with Shane, Marissa, Marie and their newest addition Shane Brandon McMahon Jr. They were all comfortable watching TV getting ready for Raw to start.
I walked over to him and he was laying on his back doing reps with a large amount of weight hanging over his head. I said, "Babe, when you finish with that, is it possible for us to have a talk?" He said, "Sure Doc." I said, "Don't call me Doc; I'm coming to you with wife business."
He put the weighted barbell down and sat up, wiping the sweat off this face, neck and chest. He patted the bench and I sat next to him, he said, "What's up Alex?" I said, "I have something to tell you." He said, "So, don't beat around the bush, just tell me." I said, "I'm trying.shut up.I'm pregnant." Those being the only two words he didn't want to hear at the time. He made a face and tilted his head to the side and then shook his head no. He stood up and started pacing.I said, "You're making me incredibly nervous. Could you stop doing that?" Paul looked at me and said, "Making you nervous.how so, you already told me the bad news." (Oh no he didn't.was my first thought).
I stood up and said, "Just exactly what part of 'I'm pregnant' was bad news to you? I thought you might be happy to be adding someone new to our family." Paul said, "Alex we didn't plan for this.I just got back on my feet three months ago from a career ending injury. My career is taking off again, how are we supposed to cope with one kid let alone having another baby." I said, "I could see if we'd had 16 kids already, how this one would be a bother to you, but this is only our second, so which part of your life is being inconvenienced by me having a baby.I don't recall you going into labor with Xander last time. You were at the birth last time and I seem to remember it already being your day off anyway."
Paul said, "Alex, that's not what I'm talking about, I don't want to have to take more time off for when you have this baby, especially since I just got back in the swing of things.my body has been re-acclimated to wrestling every night again. When I was off because of the injury, I lost 20lbs.with my line of work any weight loss is scary.cause then you have to spend months gaining all the weight back. I don't want to have to be out again."
I said, "So would you like me to just wish the baby away? What? Really? C'mon Paul, you tell me what you want me to do about me being pregnant. You want me to go throw myself down some stairs, I mean, cause I could really play it off.or maybe I could get hit by a car.or.Oh wait, I could go and have an abortion.I mean what ever is easiest for you, right Paul?" Paul said, "Yea, I think abortion would actually be the easiest." (Oh no he didn't again! Another first thought)
I stood there looking at him.and he said, "What? Go ahead and say it.you're going to anyway, you always get the last word." I said, "I was just thinking." Tears were swelling in my eyes, and Paul said, "Really what about?" I blinked and the tears slid down my cheeks and said, "When did you become such a monster?" Paul said, "Alex, turn off the drama."
