...

It had only been a few weeks but Taryn couldn't deny the attraction that she felt for Seth. Needless to say, the feeling was mutual for him as well as they spent more time together, just bonding, but the passion between them was undeniable and it was hard to maintain.

She had just finished her photoshoot for the WWE Halloween events that were coming up and she was set to be in a match against Natalya. She had been training, being in and out of the studio and ready to produce her album to the world.

Of course, even throughout the course of the events that had been happening, she still found herself thinking about Stefan, and despite the fact that her husband cheated on her, basically treated her like dirt for two years, a piece of her still loved him and she couldn't explain why.

She also had self doubt about her affair with Seth as well. She thought she was cheating too but at the same time, she knew it wasn't. It didn't feel like cheating since it was just a repressed desire for each other. And that repression came out to fruition.

She still remembered Stefan's ultimatum and that he would call with his decision and he would hope she would make sure she would retire and forget about this wrestling business and start acting like a wife he wanted her to be.

She was suddenly surprised by a bear hug as she smiled, seeing Finn Balor surprise her out of nowhere, picking up her tiny self.

"Surprised to see me, huh?" He smiled, happily hugging her.

"Awe, you know I am, you weird demon." She smiled as she hugged him back.

"So...how did things go between you and Seth the past few days.." He asked as they walked over to get some doughnuts and light snacks that was over that the table.

"Honestly...it's hard to explain. The date was wonderful. It was romantic. But I'm also scared for it to end. What if it was just a fling for him you know? I mean, I'm still married Finn. And I know many are saying get a divorce, and by many I mean my sister, Naomi, and Sasha and AJ Lee. But I've had history with that man."

"Yeah and he betrayed you by sleeping with your own flesh and blood." He argued. "You don't deserve to be treated like that. You know he is horrible and so is his family."

"Why can't my heart just give me a simple answer?" She was already annoyed and aggravated with herself for even thinking like this in the first place. It all sounded so easy but at the same time, it wasn't.

She was more afraid if anything, that Stefan would destroy her reputation. He was a ruthless, cunning, and vindictive person and he had ways of getting what he wanted. He was underhanded like that.

Of course, as close as she was with Finn, she couldn't explain all of that to him.

Only Seth knew the truth and what really went on behind closed doors of her fairytale marriage.

"Listen, all I can tell you is this." He took a bite out of his powdered doughnut. "You know Seth isn't such a bad guy. He really does care about you and you'll know in your heart and mind what decision is best for you."

"I hope you're right about that." She gave him a small smile, still unsure as they hugged again.

"Ok, that's enough hugging." She heard Seth's voice as she yelped when he grabbed her by the waist, hugging her as well.

"Hey, no harm Rollins. Can't help myself." He chuckled.

"Yeah well get use to it." He retorted squeezing Taryn a bit firmly as he gave Finn a warning look, to which he thought Taryn wouldn't notice.

But she did. It was so cute of him to see him so jealous and protective.

"Let's go to lunch sweetheart. I got an interview coming up and I'm gonna need some assistance when I put my plan into action so that I can become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion."

Finn wasn't even bothered with the fact that Rollins was jealous and interrupted their friendship moment. He knew he loved Taryn and he only hoped and prayed she would make the right decision or there would be consequences for everyone.

Seth and Taryn were at Chipotle as Taryn was digging into her burrito bowl, with adding lots of hot sauce. She seemed a bit more hungry as of lately and she wasn't sure why. But she knew it was because she had been skipping meals, as she told herself.

At the same time, she was showing Seth the music she had been working on with Brandi helping and producing. He smiled, loving to hear her voice and the lyrics she came up with on her own.

"You sound amazing." He smiled, taking the earphone out of his ear. "I really love this song."

"Thank you, I have been working hard. Of course, I do criticize myself because I always want to do better."

"Sweetheart, you have passion in you, its one of the reasons why I l-" He stopped himself before she looked up.

"Why you what, Sethie?" She asked, mouth full of food as she covered herself, trying to be a lady, even though Seth found it adorable.

He remembered the last time he made love to her, as soon as she fell asleep in his arms, he whispered that he loved her. He meant it too. However, he knew she didn't hear him. He didn't know if she felt the same way. There was a difference between just having feelings and liking someone, to being truly in love.

At the time, it was lust. Nothing but lust as his dreams of fucking her never stopped. He thought it was a blessing that it came true. Now over the weeks and even before sleeping with her, the feelings built up and now he never thought he would fall in love with someone who use to be his worst enemy.

"It's one of the reasons why I find you so adorable." He chuckled. "And of course, your cheeks look like chipmunks whenever you eat." He stuck his tongue out to tease her, as she threw a plastic fork at him.

"Oh hush it, you big nose." She smirked, eating some more as he ate as well.

He decided to keep his feelings to himself. At least the fact that he was in love with her. He didn't want to scare her off and put any kind of pressure on her, especially with everything she had been through.

It was quiet for a few minutes before Taryn bit the inside of her cheek. Something had been bothering her for awhile. She hasn't heard anything about Alex Riley in a while. It was as though he had vanished and he was nonexistant.

"Seth..." She asked softly as he looked at her.

"What's up sweetheart?" He asked, sipping his soda.

"...You know what happened to Alex do you? Are you responsible for him disappearing?" She whispered to him.

Seth felt like there was a lump in his throat to keep him from talking. He could see the look in her eyes, wanting the truth.

"I won't say anything. I just need to know. Ever since the Slammy Night, you've been hush about it when someone mentioned Alex. I don't give a damn about him, but ever since I told you what he did, I haven't felt him stalking me.." She explained, swallowing hard.

Seth knew he couldn't lie to her. He wouldn't admit Roman and Dean's involvement but he wanted her to trust him and he wanted to keep that trust.

"Taryn, you know he had it coming. And he deserved it. I wasn't going to let him hurt you again. I wish I could have protected you the first time but I didn't. I just had to do what needed to be done and I'm not sorry about it." He confessed. "Honestly, he can rot in hell, which I'm sure he will eventually since I had him locked up somewhere." He continued to eat his food.

As they had finished, it wasa quiet ride back to the hotel. Seth was almost afraid that she was going to shut herself out from him after he had mildly conessed to what he did to Alex. He didn't regret it and he would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

As they made it back to the hotel room, Seth was surprised as Taryn set her bags down, taking him in for a hug as she gave him a soft kiss, looking into his brown eyes.

"Thank you..." She whispered. "Thank you..."

Seth returned her smile as he reached up to cup her cheek as she kissed it.

"It's worth it." He smiled as he gave her another soft kiss.

"Well, we have two more hours until Monday Night Raw. What would you like to do, Mr. Money In The Bank.." She teased as she played with the strings of the hoodie he was wearing.

"How about a innocent make out session?" he wiggled his brows as he picked her up in his arms.

"Oh please. With you, theres no way in hell it would stay just an innocent make out." She rolled her eyes as Seth couldn't help but laugh.

"Fair enough." He agreed. "Well, there is training that has to be done, since Summerslam is in about a month. I do have a lot to get done as well as you do."

"So what do you have in mind for this big and beautiful city of Long Beach, California?" She smiled as he stroked his chin thoughtfully before it turned up into a smile as he joined her on the bed.

"I would love to take you to this concert after Raw." he went into his suitcase, pulling out two tickets. "Honestly, I wasn't sure if you were into Metallica, since I know you've never heard of them before."

"Oh trust me I have." She smiled. "But I've never listened to their songs before."

"Trust me, they are a pretty sweet band." He smiled. "I've been listening to them ever since I was 15."

"Pure metalhead, huh?" She teased.

"All the way. My mom would hate it when I would have it up so loud in my room." He chuckled, before he got off topic. "But...umm...I really would love to take you. If you are up for it. Instead of a boring dinner and movie and I-"

"You talk too much." She shushed him, putting a finger to his lips. "I would love to Seth. I told you, I'm not one of those prim and proper kind of girls. I don't mind romance with the roses and expensive dinner and cheesy movie but at the same time, I don't mind. I'm all for any kind of excitement."

It made him smile, seeing how she was more than willing to try new things, where as Zahra was far from wanting to do anything different. It was always the same boring routine and if he even suggested wanting to switch up something in their routine, he would get nothing but two weeks of arguing, which was very exhausting.

"So...is it a date." She sat up, sitting in a sexy position on the bed.

"It's a date." He smiled. "How about we seal it with a kiss?"

He seductively climbed on top of her as they locked lips once more, as Taryn wrapped her arms around.

Of course, neither of them paid attention to the phone that was buzzing in Taryn's purse, trying to reach her.

That person on the caller ID was Stefan Hilton.

...

"This doesn't make any sense." Stefan growled as he called Taryn's phone. She would always answer on the first ring, as expected. She always did this whenever he called. Ever since he broke her spirit by cruelly admitting to fucking her sister as well as laying all the proof out on purpose, he expected her to be calling; Crying and apologizing for being a shitty wife and expecting forgiveness from her. He was so use to manipulating her that way.

So what's changed now?

"Baby, come back to bed.." Kristen purred, stroking his arm as he moved away from her for a moment while trying to call her.

"Why the fuck do you care so much about that fat bitch?" Kristen's jealousy showed all over her face, forgetting the plan and just wanting Stefan all to herself.

"I don't sweetheart. I told you. I'm only using her for financial gain. Once she comes back to me, the plan to make sure she gives me complete control of every bit of her account, then I'll have her locked away to the asylum where as if she does get out, then she'll not only be broke completely, but I'll even make sure that I'll be behind every fraud account thats in her name to where she's arrested."

It would all work in Stefan's favor and then he would never feel threatened by the fact that Taryn made more money than him. As far as he was concerned, he put in enough time in the marriage and he deserved to reap the rewards of what came with it.

Even if it meant crushing Taryn's spirit and driving her into madness.

It was Kristen and Stefan's plan in the first place. Since her mother was broke and Stefan's parents had his trust fund locked up due to being irresponsible, Taryn was the next best thing and with her being in the WWE, it made it better.

Trying to get her in a coma with the pills he put in her drink backfired. It would have succeeded if that fucking idiot Seth Rollins would have never saved her.

He was sure she would come back. He left her every voicemail possible to manipulate her into thinking he loved her, that he would accept her forgiveness.

This was the sixth voicemail he's left her. What else could she be doing thats so fucking important?

"Maybe she's in the arms of another man.." Kristen sneered, which made Stefan's eyes narrow.

"That's ridiculous. No other man will want her. She knows the only man who will even want her is me." He growled.

"I'm just saying that it may be a possibility." She shrugged, sitting in front of the vanity mirror as she brushed her long hair. She had a cut right above her temple from when Ariel attacked her.

"That miserable bitch will get what's coming to her. Her and her pathetic fiance will pay for this. And I know just the thing too.." She thought as she remembered the medication that Ariel always takes. She smirked to herself, thinking of a way to really fuck up Roman and Ariel's engagement.

None of her sisters deserved any kind of happiness and she was more than happy to take it all away from them by any means necessary.

She texted for Maria to call her as she went back over to Stefan, to try to distract him from calling Taryn anymore, even though he was only ignoring her just a little to keep sending Taryn every text message.

"Why don't you put your thumbs to break for a minute and use them on me instead?" She said seductively as she laid back in her queen size bed.

Stefan decided to just drop it for now as he needed some kind of way to let out his agression. Who better than Kristen anyway.

He would only hope his plan would work, even though his insecurities had him second guessing otherwise.

The Battle Royal had started to determine to be the number one contender for the Women's Championship at Summerslam. Taryn was more than ready to take out the other divas. Of course her, Naomi and AJ Lee, and Maria all worked together before it was every woman for themselves.

Eventually, it was down to Maria and Taryn and Taryn was a little surprise that Maria hit her with full force.

In her mind, she seriously thought that Maria was trying to injure her on purpose as she did some serious moves that took a little too much aggression on her part.

However, Taryn had the strength to fire back as she hit her with her finisher and knocked her over the top rope as the bell signaled her victory.

"Here is your winner, Taryn!"

Taryn smiled as she stared down her opponent who was holding the title; Charlotte. She had great respect for Charlotte Flair but she was ready to take what mattered more than anything else in the WWE, and that was that Championship.

She left the ring, limping a bit as she went with Naomi to get checked to see if she didn't have any serious sprains that could affect her for Summerslam.

At the same time, Maria was enraged. She was seriously trying to hurt Taryn more than anything and its like the fat bitch had a way of overpowering her.

Seriously, she had better hoped her and Kristen's plan would work.

She saw her phone buzzing with a private caller as she snuck further down the hall to answer it.

"Hey, this had better be good. I had a serious rough night.." Maria hissed, balling her fist up.

"Oh it is. Just as you and Ms. Kirsten had ordered me, I pulled a few strings and had Ariel's pills switched so when Roman goes to pick them up at the pharmacy, let's just say theres going to be a little bit of a change in her bipolar behavior."

"Good. I'm ready for something good to happen and Kristen will too. You better call her too." She hung up quickly before he could even get 2 seconds of a word in to her.

As long as that blue haired bitch was done for, that was fine. Now Taryn on the other hand, she hope that Kristen came up with a serious plan to destroy her once and for all.

"I need to go to a bar.." She mumbled as she hit the shower in the locker room.

Taryn smiled as she held hands with Seth, being the next one in line as they presented their tickets for the concert at the Staples Center. She was so excited to be going to a concert with Seth, especially with one of his bands playing and she was more than happy to take an interest in what he loved. He was very open minded with just about anything and she was more than happy for a distraction, a good one to say the least.

She held onto Seth's arm tight as they were in a packed crowd. She already knew that this was going to be an amazing concert.

Of course, he grabbed them a few drinks and something for her to eat as she munched on a hot dog and she had a bag of chips.

"Now I'm craving some ice cream...some peanut butter and chocolate chip ice cream.." Her mind started to wonder.

It was then the crowd cheered when Metallica came up on stage and started performing. Seth was having so much fun headbanging to the music that even Taryn smiled and joined in with him, loving the loud crowd, the way the music was putting everyone into that crazy excitement.

"Yes!" She screamed out as she sang along with Seth, who was also singing along to the words too.

Seth was hugging on Taryn as they both headbanged together to the music and the different songs they were playing. Eventually her favorite band, Disturbed came on and Taryn was even more excited as she knew the whole album they were singing.

Seth couldn't help but smile as he held her close and gave her a sweet kiss right on her nose and then to her red lips. He really didn't want this night to end at all.

...

After 3 hours later, they made it back up to the hotel. They had taken an Uber home, which was fine since they took one to the concert, leaving their cars where it was parked as they wanted to enjoy everything that came into the night. This was indeed the best night Taryn has everhad and Seth could honestly say he enjoyed it too

"Thank you for my lovely Disturbed band tshirt you got for me.." She smiled at him, as he kissed her knuckles, holding her hand as they walked down the hallway to her hotel room.

"No problem. I haven't had fun like this in a while." He confessed, his brown eyes shining down at her.

"You have been wonderful to me Seth..." Taryn's eyes gotten wider, and felt like her stomach was in butterflies whenever he was close to her.

"I told you Taryn." He smiled. "I'm here for you no matter what. You mean so much to me..." He whispered as he bent down to kiss her once more, her hands on his chest as his fingers tangled in her brown hair gently.

Of course, they were unaware that Zahara was close by and saw them kissing, which sent jealousy and anger coursing through her body as she rushed to her hotel room.

She locked the door and went to her liquor cabinet as she started throwing back tequila. She couldn't believe it. Taryn? Of all fucking people? That's who Seth was in love with? She could barely contain her anger as she started trashing her hotel room in a rage as she felt like her world was coming and crashing down.

She fell into a pile on the ground as she screamed so loud she thought the devil himself would hear her.

"She's not going to get away with this..." She had her fists balled up, wanting to punch her. "I'm going to get that fucking bitch..."

A Week Later

Taryn, Naomi, Sasha Banks, Renee Young, and AJ Lee and Maria were all trying to help Ariel as they were helping her to plan the wedding as they were over her house. Seth, Roman and Dean all had to go on the road for their WWE Live Events and were scheduled more than the women, so they had a week off to themselves before the big pay per view.

Of course, over the past few days, Ariel was becoming quite unbearable.

She became more irritable as of lately and snapping off on everyone. She had taken her meds that Roman got for her at the pharmacy but it was as though the pills were giving her a strange side effect that she couldn't put her finger on.

Of course, no one noticed the smirk that Maria had on her face, seeing Ariel act this way. Maria's plan, with the help of a buddy she knew way back and with a bit of help from Kristen, they had Ariel's usual medication switched with some replica pills, but this time, it would cause her to go into a serious frenzy.

"Jesus fucking Christ, why can't they do anything right? I just want a perfect fucking wedding!" She kicked over a chair as she paced back and forth, drinking her champagne.

"You need to seriously calm down.." AJ Lee tried to console her. "It's going to be alright, but you can't keep threatening to kill us every 10 to 15 seconds.."

"Especially if all you really need is a midol with you being a complete bitch on wheels.." Sasha rolled her eyes, exhausted.

Ariel was then ready to go after her until AJ had to hold her up to keep her calm. Taryn had to hold Sasha back as well before they started throwing hands on each other.

Naomi then noticed that Maria had a sly smirk on her face.

"What are you smirking about.." Naomi asked suspiciously. Maria then cleared her throat and then put on the innocent phase.

"Nothing nothing. Just a joke I thought of. Maybe it might help releive all the stress in the room, you know.." She suggested quietly, hoping she would buy her lie.

"I can't deal with this right now...I'm sorry everyone. I'm a shitty ass friend.." Ariel sniffled as she headed up the step, tears streaming down her face.

"No, girl wait a minute." Sasha went to follow up the stairs. Yeah, they were pissed at each other but Sasha had Ariel's back no matter what. Even Maria went up to follow and to help out, leaving Naomi and AJ, Renee Young, and Taryn by themselves as they would agree to help make calls to the caterers for the wedding.

Taryn was feeling nauseus as of lately. About two weeks ago she was having this same problem and was even having weird cravings.

"You ok? You looking green girl and I know its not the glow.." Naomi teased as she had green in her black hair.

Taryn smirked. "I'm ok. I'm sure it was that egg mcmuffin I had this morning..or that hot dog that I had last-"

Before she could finish what she was saying she quickly ran to the bathroom and started throwing up like crazy.

"Jesus.." She coughed into the toilet. "What the hell..."

"Taryn, you alright?" Naomi rushed in right behind her.

"Yeah..I think its just food poison-" She was cut off as she began throwing up again.

"Let's get you to a doctor." Naomi helped her up as Taryn wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet.

"You guys go ahead, I'm gonna help Ariel with the rest of the wedding planning.." AJ informed them as well as Renee Young helping to stay back. Everyone was just dealing with a lot of stress with the pay per view coming up and it didn't help that they were taking it out on each other.

"Bet." Naomi agreed as she grabbed her keys as she had to wait one more time before Taryn rushed right back into the bathroom to throw up the rest of her breakfast.

Naomi sat in the chair as Taryn was in her gown waiting on the doctor, swinging her legs and chewing her nails, anxious. She was sure it was food poisoning but she just hated hospitals is all.

She didn't like doctors in general.

The doctor came back with a chart in her hand.

"Hello there, Ms. Hilton." She smiled warmly, seeing how sincere she was. "My name is Ms. Katherine, I'm your doctor for today."

"Nice to meet you.." She grinned meekly. "So...it's just food poisoning right? I'm sure it was from that hot dog I had two weeks ago.."

Katherine bit her lip, unsure of what to say next as she read back on the chart. "Ms. Hilton, when was your last period?"

"I believe it was about a week ago. It's irregular but I know it should be coming in a few days." She replied, as she was starting to feel nervous.

"I don't know how to say this but Ms. Hilton.." She read her chart very closely. " There's a chance that you may not be getting a period for awhile...at least for the next nine months.."

"Wait, nine months?" Naomi and Taryn both said, shock across their face as they looked at Ms. Katherine and back at each other.

She nodded as she took Taryn's hand. "Ms. Hilton..you're pregnant."

Taryn almost busted out laughing at her statement. "Th-That's impossible. I was told I couldn't have children. I..I mean me and my husband been to three doctors who said that I was sterile. Tests and all!" She explained, her nerves shot up.

"Well, unfortunately not all doctors do their thorough research and testing. According to the results, it seems that you are five weeks pregnant." She smiled.

"I..I don't understand.." She was stunned, confused. "H-How did this...I...I want to do another test please."

"Well we did a urine test but we can do a blood test and an ultrasound for confirmation." She suggested.

"Y-Yes please do.." She nodded as Ms. Katherine agreeded to get everything set up for the blood test.

Naomi was shocked as ever. "I thought you couldn't have children.."

"I thought so too.." She whispered. "There has to be an error. This can't be possible.

About an hour later, it was confirmed by the blood test that Taryn was indeed with child as it was stated before. They had done an early ultrasound, with Naomi there by her side as support as they carefully examined her. The nurse explained what was going on in the ultrasound.

Taryn couldn't deny it before her very eyes. There was her baby's heartbeat. There was a living baby inside of her.

But she knew of course, Stefan didn't create this baby.

"I'm..I'm gonna be a mom.." She whispered to herself after she got dressed. "Seth is the father..."

Naomi reached out to hug Taryn as she cried on her shoulder.

This was going to be a long day indeed
