Chapter 11 xXx Dean had been distant and had barely sad a word since he came back and Karlee was beginning to worry he had received some bad news from Vince. She was still under the assumption that he had been for a meeting and his awkwardness was making her uncomfortable. Karlee had slipped into her dress for the dinner she was about to have. She was teaming a fitted floral bodice that showcased her boobs with a black skater skirt that came to mid thigh. She slipped on a pair of tights to cover up some bruises on her legs that she had got from her match the night before. She grabbed her black heels with the bow on them and slipped them on, praying her body would work with her and that she would be able to walk. She stood up from the bed and steadied herself, taking her first steps. "Fuck yeah!" She yelled, making Dean jump from his position in the corner. He was decked out in his tux with the tie hanging over his neck. As soon as he saw her, everything he was thinking vanished. She looked down and moved her hair from her face, feeling slightly embarrassed that her man was drooling over her. She shifted in her shoes anxiously as he drank her appearance in and his feet moved towards her, grabbing her hips with his fingers and pulling her into him. She steadied herself by placing her palms on his shoulders, her nose touching his chin. "You look hot. Can we skip and go to bed instead." He whispered in her ear. She giggled. "Why? You sleepy mister?" It was then he remembered she wasn't cleared for activities in the bedroom. Although she did have a doctors appointment the next day, she wasn't telling him just yet. Their hot little moment was interrupted by the wild bashing of their door. Karlee jumped as Dean opened the door and in flew Kaitlyn and Seth. They were both beaming and they were clearly very excited about something. "What's wrong?" Dean asked, letting in Roman and Alice in. Karlee scowled at Roman and Alice together and he winked back. Least she know knew who her date was. "Ok, we have something to tell you guys..."Seth shut the door and took Kaitlyn's hand. Everyone looked a the couple. Something wasn't right. Engaged. Karlee bet they were engaged. "We're having a baby!" Karlee's mouth dropped open and she stuttered before throwing her arms out and squealing, gathering them both into a huge hug. The moment was bitter sweet for both Karlee and Dean but they pushed away any bad feelings so they could be genuinely happy for their friend. "I'm four months gone! I've been wrestling with a baby for four months! Can you believe it!" They all stood back and looked at her toned stomach. "Look, I have no six pack left!" Sure enough there was a tiny hint of a baby bump but nothing to attract attention from a crowd of fans. Dean gave Karlee's hand a small squeeze and she did the same back, showing each other that they had to be strong for their friends and not to overshadow their glorious moment. Kaitlyn contined to chatter on about how she told Vince and how she was being written out. Then the huge news came. "I'm leaving for six months too, then another few when the baby comes bt we have both deicded to travel with him... or her." Dean and Roman exchanged glances. "What happens with us then? As a team?" Seth grinned. "We still have a few miles to run yet boys. Don't worry though, I'm sure you will be used in the best way possible." They continued talking as Dean became zoned out. He saw Karlee's eyes glitter with the news and he began to wonder how she was going to handle the news of him having a kid,with one of her supposed friends. It wasn't going to be pretty. xXx Someone high in the sky had it in for him. Seriously, someone must really hate him. He had walked his girlfriend down to their table and seated her without any fuss. Kaitlyn and Seth had decided to skip the meal in favour of a nap and Alice and Roman sat beside them at the gold rounded table. There were two seats left and who had to sit there? Out of the whole wrestling company, the seats were taken up by Dolph and a very smug looking Megan. Dolph was warmly received by the whole group as it was clear he wasn't involved with Megan but had just taken this eat as it was one of the few left. Alice was on edge with Megan as was Roman but they didn't say anything as they knew Karlee considered her one of their closer friends. "How are ya'll tonight?" Megan asked, a huge grin plastered on her face. Dean ground his teeth together as he keep his emotions in check. Karlee spoke away as their starters were dished out, washing it all down with a glass of Cava. "You should take the kiddo into see us! I'm sure he would love to meet everyone." Megan grinned, her eyes flitting to a seething Dean. This one woman had his life in the palm of her hand and she would destroy it with the flick of her finger. But why, was what he couldn't quite understand. Maybe it was because he had left her high and dry after sleeping with her but she was well warned it would be nothing serious. "I'm nipping to the toilet. Can you please not eat the rest of my pudding?" Karlee asked sweely. She pecked Dean on the nose and left the table with her clutch firmly in her hand. "I'll join you. Give me a second." Megan jumped out of her seat as the opportunity arised." She looked at Dean under heavy lidded, lust filled eyes as she disappeared with Karlee, both of them laughing and chatting their way there. His stomach began to knot as he wondered if she was going to tell Karlee about their one night stand. Would she let on that she knew or would she keep it secret. He felt physically sick at the thought and he hadn't even thought about he was going to beg his way back into her heart. She had been through too much to be lied to again, secrets being held against her. He slumped in his chair for a few seconds before taking off and disappearing outside. xXx Karlee was about to have a full blown hysterical breakdown any second. Vince McMahon was on stage announcing Paul Heyman as the next inductee into their exclusive Hall of Fame and Dean was nowhere to be seen. Karlee had come back from the toilet to find Dean gone. With no time to look for him, she was whisked away and changed into her floor length gold dress for the ceremony. And now she could have shit a brick with the nerves that were tumbling around in the pit of her stomach. "And now introducing two very special people who helped Paul Heyman's company spring into the limelight and allowed him to showcase their talent which made his company so unique. Ladies and Gentleman, welcome Karlee Eckland and Dean Ambrose!" Karlee felt her heart race as she took the first step, one away from stepping onto stage when two strong arms wrapped around her waist. "Sorry baby. I won't leave you like that again." He placed a small kiss on her neck and took a hold of her hand, pulling her onto the light filled stage. They stood in front of the silver podium and Karlee felt the nervous-ness in the pit of her stomach disappear. She was used to being in the spotlight, but not like this. Dean started rambling away about the figures and what he did for him as a wrestler. Then it came to her turn. "What we need to remember is, Wrestling was and always will be classed as a male orientated sport. What Paul Heyman did was he allowed me and other girls to work out way up. I and many of the other young ladies in the back started off as ring announcers and valets and we were rewarded for our work. The less experienced women were given more training, straight from the pocket of Heyman himself and in '05, out division was founded. As one of the first ECW Women's champions, I am honoured to induct such a legendary leader of the wrestling business." Okay, she had to admit, he wasn't the worst but he was not and was not going to ever be her favourite person in the world. However, when she turned to Dean, she had to stand on his foot to snap him out his daydream. FLASHBACK She walked into the bar in all her cocky glory. She would do. Since Karlee had left, all he wanted to do was find someone to fill the void. He missed their sexual tension and the casual hatred. He had thrived off it. And now she was gone. There was nobody there. She hadn't even fought for her place in the company. They were all out celebrating, Dean was more getting hammered than fit to party. He didn't want to celebrate the fact he was still there and she wasn't. Megan walked up to him and slipped onto his knee. He was drunk but could still walk and talk. She had been all over him since she started wrestling with the company yet she knew his sights were firmly set on the red head bombshell. "Hey Dean. Having a good time." He didn't even answer. "My room. Twenty minutes."He growled, giving her the key and stalking off through the bar and out into the cold night air. He snapped out of his nightmare and back into the present moment. Karlee's eyes were searching his for any sign on where to move onto. She was mentally pleading with him to stick with it. "Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you, your next inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame, Paul Heyman!" Dean ushered Karlee to the side and the watched as he walked onto stage. He picked up his award and Karlee and Dean walked off together, both of them desperate to get out of the spotlight. They were walking past some monitors when they heard the first lines of Heyman's acceptance speech. "I always see them as such a funny couple. I mean, she did once come to me and demand to fire him!" The audience laughed, obviously thinking it was a joke but Dean stopped dead in his tracks, anger bubbling up. "You what?" He snapped, turning to face Karlee, who had an easy smile plastered on her face. She walked up to him and placed her arms around his shoulders. "Oh baby, we had a fight and plus, it was back in the day. I was just angry at you." Dean felt betrayed. But he knew that if he was angry at her, his news wouldnt seem as big in comparison. "So you tried to get me fired from the one thing I've ever loved. Well, gee thanks." Karlee could see the genuine hurt escape his mouth. Then it hit her. "The only thing you have ever loved huh?" She quizzed, praying he wouldn't fuck up his answer. "Apart from you, yes. Apart from you, wrestling is all I have and you tried to take that away from me!" Karlee sighed. "Almos six years ago! Fuck, get a grip of yourself." She threw her arms up in the air and stormed away, feeling guilty but also angry at the same time. He had been acting weird all night and it was getting to her, making her feel as though as something was wrong with her. She slumped down the wall and held her head in her hands, feeling the positin extremely uncomfortable due to her dress being skintight. She picked up her discarded heels and flung them in front of her without even looking. "Fuck. They hurt." She looked up to see Dean, his hair all floppy in front of his eyes. "Sorry for overreacting." He took her soft hands in his and pulled her up, putting both hands around her waist and squeezing, lifting her shorter frame off the ground. She took a deep breath. God, he smelt good. He held her, cherishing the limited time they may have. If she left him because of his stupid mistake, he was going to do everything to get her back but Karlee had been hurt too much to have a jackass as her man. He just had to hope he got a DNA test sooner rather than later. "Dean, I'm meant to be the one going batshit. I'm returning tomorrow and I haven't even got anythng to wear!" He laughed at her. She always worried about the smallest things. He was still pissed at the fact she tried to end his career bt he had bigger things to worry about. "Babe, you could go out wearing your bikini and they would still go wild. They love you!" He giggled at his response. "Bikini's aren't very practical to kick someone's ass in..." xXx Sooo guys. All that's done with. Now to the biiig thing. Her return match. Much like Karlee, I haven't decided what she is going to wear yet so I'll let you decide. You have until this coming Sunday to decide and the different clothes sets will be on my tumblr. Chapter 12 will be uploaded soon! Hope you guys are getting back into this story again! Loved your reviews! Review pretty please, Amanda Xo
