October 16th, 2020 - Present Day
Rebecca
My throat was in dire need of water after that scream I let out...but I was still in a daze remembering that night...and repeating the words from my doctor's email.
"Good afternoon, Rebecca! I'm sure you will be pleased to know the results from the DNA test you have requested have come back. Although I do have questions of curiosity myself, I will respect your second request to not ask any questions that I don't need to know the answers to. I'll cut right to the chase here. Based on the DNA sample from Mr. Colby Lopez provided by you, we've been able to fully determine that your fiance's DNA is not a match with baby Roux. As for the DNA sample from one Mr. Joseph Kennedy, we were able to determine his DNA and Roux's are a 100 percent match. I hope these results can give you closure to any questions you may have had. I hope to see you again on our next appointment and everything is going well for you." Joey...is Roux's father. That party, that night, we got drunk, we confessed our feelings and then...well, ya know. Colby and I did start trying not long after...but then I had the symptoms too quickly after filming Mania. It all lines up...but I could swear Joey wore protection. Did...did it break maybe? Ugh, I don't know what to think right now.
"I'm so sorry, Colby." My heart started to ache for him. He was so happy when my test came back positive. He believed he was gonna be a dad. I wanted to scream again but I can't stress myself out anymore. It would be incredibly unhealthy for my little munchkin and someone would be bound to hear me if they didn't hear me scream before. "I'm so sorry for screaming, sweetie." I said as I was rubbing my baby bump, hoping to soothe away the stress. "Mommy is just...remembering a very special night I spent with your father. Your...real father." My mind went back to Joey again. He is so busy helping to set up the big storyline for Survivor Series. "I already know you are gonna love him...because I love him. He's a wonderful man. But god, I don't know how I'm gonna just tell him out of nowhere "Oh hi, Joey! Guess what? Colby's not the father! You are!". Like I'm on freakin Maury." As I continued to mellow out and talk to myself, my attention darted towards the door. I swear I could've heard a chuckle. "Hello?! Someone there?" I got up carefully and had to check outside. I scanned the hallway left and right and saw no one close by. Maybe my paranoia is getting the best of me right now.
October 25th, 2020 - The day of WWE Hell in a Cell
It's been a week and a half since I've gotten the DNA results from my doctor and I am still a mess over it. I've been a complete wreck mentally and it hurts as I've been trying to hide it until I'm ready to tell Joey and Colby. I know prolonging it only makes it worse on myself in so many ways, but...I'm just scared. Scared of how both will react to this.
"And now ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the main event! Drew McIntyre will once again defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton inside...Hell in a cell!"
Thank the good lord Hell in a Cell was on tonight! Neither of my two boys were on the card but I freaking love wrestling and right now I desperately need the escape.
"Hey, babe! I'm gonna hit the showers. Let me know what I miss?" Colby just finished cleaning up his dinner tonight. Me? I was still going at it. I have two mouths to feed after all.
"Yeah, sure!" I realized I had responded in a quick dismissive way but still with a smile. I was excited for this match...but truth be told even though he's been so sweet to me still, I just...feel different around Colby now. It's really hard to explain.
*Phone vibrates*
My phone on the table goes off and I see a text message from Pamela.
"Hey hot mama! Just checking in on you to see if you're doing ok!" My heart melted reading the text from her. Pamela was always one of the sweetest people I know. Quite incredible still how she's fit into her new bad girl Bayley character. I may have to watch out for her when I return to the ring.
"Hey beautiful! OMG, you were amazing out there! You and Sasha killed it! I'm so proud of you both!" I responded, purposefully ignoring the question she asked for now. I feel like maybe it would be good to let out this damn secret to someone I can trust. Colby was in the shower so the time was opportune.
"Aww thank you! I don't feel so beautiful right now haha. I'm pretty damn banged up still. Of course, hell in a cell will do that to ya. So you're doing ok? Colby and Roux doing good too?" Now that I think about it, I feel like I should tell Pamela. I would love some advice from her, and it was thanks to her I was able to even get the test done.
"Yeah. Colby and the little munchkin are good. But honestly Pam, I'm not doing so good. I've been a mess in my head for the past week now and I need help."
"Oh my god, what's wrong?! You don't have to tell me everything if you want but please talk to me."
"You're too sweet. So...during my visit to you guys that Friday, I got an email from my doctor. Pam, the DNA test came back."
"Oh shit! What did it say? And of course, this will stay between us. You have my word."
"Doc confirmed a 100 percent match. Colby's not the father. Joey is."
"Oh my god...oh Bex…"
"I know I know, I did an awful thing, Pam and I swear he was wearing protection... Believe me, I've been beating myself up about it forever now...I don't know what else to say that I haven't shared with you already."
"Yeah, it is awful...but I can't deny what you and Joey have is too damn adorable. Hey, condoms. They sure work, right? Ok, bad funny attempt. All I can say is you gotta break the news to him and Colby somehow and soon, girl. The longer you hide this makes this look worse on you and it's super unhealthy for you and little Roux."
"Yeah...I have to. I have appointments for the next few weeks but I'll try to get them together asap and just tell them the truth."
"Together as in person? Are you sure that's a great idea? I mean I get in person but together in the same room?"
"I have to be open and honest with them and face them. I know regardless, me and Joey are gonna catch hell for this...but it's the least I can do if it comes from me."
"You really thought this through, huh? Heh of course you did. How do you think they will react?"
"God...that's what scares me. I don't know for sure. I mean I think I have an idea...but I'm still scared, Pam."
"Well...it seems you have the right idea, Bex. If you are prepared for the consequences and it sounds like you are, I can only wish you the best and hope you can find happiness again. I just hope they don't come to blows but I feel that is a given."
"Bless your heart, Pam. I really don't deserve to know you. That's one of the things I'm most afraid of though. I feel they are gonna and then the company will probably punish them both."
"I feel that. Hopefully, it won't be too bad though. You know I'm always there for you, Bex. I could jab at you some more for doing something stupid...but of course, I'm no saint myself. But I'll always love ya. I'm glad I've been able to help you out."
"Again, I don't deserve you. Thank you so much for everything. I'll let ya know if something new happens." I couldn't be any more grateful for Pam than I am right now. She has every reason to keep ripping me a new one and to put me in my place for cheating, but she didn't. She chose to listen to me and understand my feelings. However, I don't want to sound like I'm trying to make excuses or some way to justify what I did...because you can't. "These next few weeks are gonna be interesting, Rebecca. Just hang in there."
