Samaire stared in shock at the doctor, unable to say anything. Of all the things she expected the doctor to say, this was the last on her list.
"How far along?" she questioned when she regained her speech.
"Oh we need to do an ultrasound to determine that - come on. I can do one now if you like".
AJ grabbed Samaire's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Samaire managed to give him a small smile as she followed the doctor. The doctor lead them into a small room and the back of the building. Samaire layed down on the table as Natalie spread a cold gel across her stomach. She moved the little camera over her flat stomach. Samaire watched her 'Well it's not going to be flat for much longer' she thought to herself in pity.
"Well my best guess Ms Davis is that you are at least eight weeks along" she smiled as she looked down at Samaire. AJ smiled at Samaire before looking back to the screen. Samaire thought back to eight weeks ago before realising she had another problem - eight weeks ago took her back to the night Austin proposed to her, the night she discovered him and Trinity, the night she also slept with AJ. 'Oh god, I'm not only pregnant, but I have no idea who is the dad'.
AJ noticed Samaire's worried expression and became concerned. He couldn't understand why she wouldn't be happy with the news. He looked over at the doctor.
"Do you think we could have a moment?" he asked her gently. She looked at him before looking down at Samaire.
"Of course, I'll get this made into a dvd for you" she said as she walked out of the room.
AJ looked down at Samaire as she wiped the gel off her stomach.
"Is everything okay honey?" he asked.
"No it's not AJ - do you realise what was happening eight weeks ago?" she questioned as she fixed her shirt up.
AJ thought for a moment, before it dawned on him was she was referring to.
"Oh, you mean you think it could be Austins?" he muttered, crushed by the idea that she could be pregnant by another man.
Samaire looked at him, tears in her eyes.
"What do I do?"
AJ wrapped her in his arms.
"First I think you need to talk to Austin and set up a paternity test"
"What if it's his, will you still want me?" she sobbed.
AJ looked at her, stunned. He couldn't believe that she would even think he would leave her. 'I wouln't leave her...would I?' he thought before shaking his head 'Of course not'. He noticed Samaire was still looking at him, her eyes pleading for an answer.
"Sam, I would never leave you - I love you too much to do that. Whatever happens I am going to be by your side the whole way, understand!"
Before Samaire could respond the doctor returned to the room with the disc in her hand.
"Well here you go, now is this your first child?"
Samaire shook her head "No, I have a five year old daughter" she replied.
"Oh, good so I don't need to go through all the first time parent stuff. Well you know then that you need to have regular check-ups. Now what is your profession?"
Samaire looked at the doctor "I'm a professional wrestler" she said. The doctor looked at her in shock.
"Oh dear, well you won't be able to do that now" she said, shaking her head.
AJ grinned at Samaire "Yeah no more kicking ass for a while babe" he laughed. Samaire whacked him in the arm.
"I'll have to settle with beating you up then" she replied.
Samaire stood out front of Jerry's door at the last set of Impact! tapings for the year. She hadn't told him, or anyone else for that fact, about the baby yet and was scared to death that Jerry was going to fire her. Finally she was summoned into the makeshift office.
"Sammie, how are you dear" he said as he offered her a seat. She sat down.
"I'm not too bad sir, yourself?"
"Very well. Actually I wanted to talk to you as well. Seems you have been getting rave reviews from both the students and Petey about your work at TNA's school. I would like to offer you a permanent position there. The pay is very good" Jerry said.
"Thank you sir, but I don't think that's going to be possible" she said in a sad tone. Jerry picked up on this.
"Why, you arn't leaving us are you Samaire" he questioned suspeciously.
"Of course not, it's just something unexpected has come up sir" she replied quickly.
He raised his eyebrows. "What would that be"
Samaire squirmed in her seat.
"Well, I'm pregnant sir" she said, her eyes darting to the floor. Jerry went silent. Samaire looked up at him, only to see him with a huge smile on his face.
"Well I see congradulations is in order then my dear" he said as he got up to give her a hug.
"You mean I'm not fired" she said as he let her go.
"Of course not! Your one of our top knockouts Sam, we wouldn't want to loose you."
"But what am I going to do? I can't wrestle anymore" she replied, unsure of what he was thinking.
"Yes but you can still manage AJ until your baby bump begins to show, then I will find something else for you. In the meantime I think you should still consider helping out with the school, the students really like you" he said.
Samaire smiled "Thank you Jerry, this is exactly why TNA is so much better then the WWE"
Jerry smiled at the comment.
"Well I think you need to go get ready honey" he said as he showed her to the door.
Samaire left his office with a smile on her face. She made her way down to the catering area, it was mostly empty as most wrestlers didn't like to eat much right before a match. Samaire and AJ wern't due until the second tapings so she made her way over to the food. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted Austin sitting by himself in the corner of the room. 'Better now than never' she thought as she made her way over to his table.
"Mind if I join you" she said as she sat down. Austin just nodded at her.
"Hey, what's wrong" she said as she took a forkful of her salad.
"Karma is what's wrong" he mumbled. Samaire looked at him as she had another mouthful of her salad.
"Really" she said, smiling on the inside "What happened".
"I found out that that dirty skank Trinity had been cheating on me with Randy Orton"
Samaire smiled "Oh you mean she was cheating on you while you were cheating on me with her?"
Austin glared at her "Yeah laugh it up, really funny isn't it"
"Sorry Austin, its just know you know what it was like for me" she replied.
He rolled his eyes.
"Well I'm glad your life is perfect now" he sniped. Samaire raised her eyebrow.
"What makes you think my life is perfect" she said as she finished her salad.
"Oh don't tell me you and loverboy are already having problems" he said.
"Actually there is an issue, but it kinda involves you too" she said slowly. Austin looked at her.
"Austin, I'm pregnant - eight weeks, which means it could be yours" she blurted out. Austin's mouth dropped.
"You are just joking right" he said, running his hand through his hair.
"God I wish I was" Samaire replied, looking down at her empty plate. Austin looked at her.
"Oh god you really are serious. Oh shit" he muttered putting his head in his hands "Just what I need right now".
Samaire threw him a dirty look.
"What you need? What about me? My career is finally taking off and now this! You think I'm over the moon?" she snapped.
"Well why don't you just get an abortion then and solve both our problems"
Samaire slapped the taste straight out of his mouth.
"I cannot believe you just said that! This is not some christmas present that you can return to the store if you don't want it. This is a human life we are talking about. God you can be such a bastard sometimes"
Austin mumbled something under his breath that Samaire couldn't quite hear.
"Look, I think that we need to get this solved quickly - I want you and AJ to take a paternity test as soon as possible" she said as she stood up.
"And what if the baby is mine - does that mean you'll come back to me?" Austin questioned as he stood up in front of Samaire. He took her hands in his. Samaire looked up at him, unaware of AJ standing across the room in the back doorway watching every movement.
"I already told you I'm never coming back to you Austin" she said as she pulled away and walked out the front doorway.
