Chapter One

Strolling down the hall way, with his hands shoved into the pockets of his denim shorts, John Cena breezed by with his WWE Championship hanging triumphantly over his right shoulder.

His fancy new title caught the attention of many and heads turned everywhere he went. Pleased with himself and his new 'toy', he smirked cockily. This was not his usual nature but things had changed ever since he won the title at Wrestlemania. He may have been scheduled to win but he preferred to believe as if he worked for it, as he did… partially…

After all, he did fight for it…the blood, sweat and the tears… Not so much of the tears but he had spilt his fair share of blood in some of his grueling matches, especially during his 'I Quit' match on Judgment Day the other night. The plasters and stitches covering up his fresh wounds decorated his handsome, chiseled face explained it all…in fact, he was still feeling a little lightheaded due to the heavy blood loss.

"Wow, look what we have here!" chuckled a voice. He recognised it distinctly and spun around into that direction.

"Yo Peter," he greeted with a firm handshake. Peter Gruner, also known as Billy Kidman and by his side was his wife, none other than the dazzling Torrie Wilson.

"Yo man, whassup?" Cena greeted casually, adjusting the belt on his shoulder.

"Nice bit of 'bling' you got there Cena…" he teased.

"Well you've got your girl…" he chuckled as he winked at Torrie. Torrie shook her head and stuck her tongue out playfully at Cena. They were constantly teasing each other, backstage, on the coaches, in the car, on the plane during long distance flights to keep each other entertained… everywhere, you name it.

"Well I have to go for my match…" said Peter excitedly, putting on his elbow pad.

"Good luck," she wished him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Peter raised his eyebrows surprised.

"I'll see you later," smiled Peter to the both of them

"Bye!" they both said in unison was they watched him dawdle off.

"Hey Torrie, I've got a match later on, where's my good luck kiss?" asked John cheekily as he inched closer to her.

"What makes you think you're so special?" she asked, walking up to him.

"Well, my little friend over here…" he replied boastfully as he span the spinner on his title. She scoffed.

"Kiss my ass…" she laughed as she turned away with a smirk.

"Believe me, I would love to!" John answered with a dirty grin planted across his face.

"I don't even want to know what's going on in that head of yours…" she chuckled as she walked off.

"Why not? It involves you and some hot action!" he yelled. Without turning back, she held her hand in the air and stuck her finger out at him. He laughed it off before finally heading to his locker room.

"Positive…" Dawn whispered staring at the life-changing stick. The first question that came to her mind was how could she was going to tell him?

She knew almost instantly who the father was, and was totally unprepared to tell him and didn't know how to either. No way was it Simon's, they had broken up a long time ago… Wiping her tears of confusion and joy away, she picked up the receiver and dialled Jackie's number, the first person who popped up into her mind.

"Hello?"

"Jackie? Hi, umm, I can't go to tapings tonight…"

"What Dawn? Why not?"

"I can't tell you…"

"Of course you can hun, tell me!"

"…" Dawn was speechless and unsure of whether it was a good idea, the word might spread like wildfire as did the whole Lita and Edge affair, so in the meantime she wanted to keep it under wraps.

"Dawn? You're scaring me… is everything ok?" asked Jackie.

"Look, I don't want this to spread but… I'm pregnant…" she said quickly, slamming down the phone. Jackie sat in the women's locker room taken aback and in total shock.

"Oh my God…" Jackie muttered faintly, with mixed emotions and questions flooding into her head. The door swung open and in came Torrie with a grin.

"Hey Jackie…" she greeted happily, placing her bag next to the dresser. She noticed Jackie's blankness and questioned why her mouth was hanging open. "Are you ok?"

"…Dawn's pregnant…" Jackie muttered unintentionally… not knowing that Torrie had impeccable hearing with ears designed for eavesdropping on gossip.

"WHAT! SHE IS!" shrieked Torrie in utter thrill. "I can't believe it! That's amazing!"

"Yeah…" Jackie said emptily. "I have to tell the writers…"

"Yeah, I guess our bikini contest is cancelled…" shrugged Torrie with an even bigger grin on her face. "I hate those things anyway…"

"Yeah…"

"See you then…"

"See you," replied Jackie as she opened the door. "Don't tell anyone ok?"

"Got it…" Torrie nodded as she watched Jackie leave and couldn't help but wonder why she was so eerily silent...
