...
Even though she was dressed now, Taryn still couldn't believe Katherine's words.
"You're pregnant..." She remembered what she said very clearly.
She asked Katherine if she could get a picture of the ultrasound. She was still sitting on the counter, gently tracing her finger over the small dark spot that was her baby's heartbeat in the gray photo.
Naomi didn't say a word, except letting her process it all. She knew this was a shock, given that she remembered all the times that Taryn had cried on her shoulder about how Stefan treated her like shit about not being able to conceive.
Of course, this was good news that she was pregnant. She thought she would be jumping for joy at the exciting news. However, there was only one minor issue that made her pause that moment.
And the simple fact was that Stefan was not the father, but it was Seth Rollins.
"It's all going to be ok, Taryn. You know how thrilled Seth will be when you tell him?" She smiled but Taryn's heart froze for a moment.
She wasn't sure how Seth would even respond, given that they had never had the topic of discussion about children anyway, with them being at the top peak of their career. Of course she knew hers would be setback.
"No. I can't tell Seth. Not yet anyway..." She clarified. "And please don't say a word to Seth or anyone right now, please Naomi."
"Relax. You know I got your back." Naomi hugged her again as Taryn wiped the tears from her eyes. She was so emotional right now and she looked down, seeing that she was still in somewhat disbelief that she was going to be a mother.
"I won't say a word to anyone, especially not Seth." She took her hand. "But what are you going to do? You can't keep this from him forever. Sooner or later, he's going to put two and two together and figure it out. It can get pretty messy if he doesn't hear the truth from you." She tried to reason with her.
Taryn knew she was right but she didn't want to hear the advice at the moment. "I will tell him just...not yet. Not until I process this and figure out what the hell I'm going to do myself. I men...I'm just so distraught. I feel like my head is going in circles as we speak." She sighed heavily. "And I'm also scared to death Naomi, and I have every right to be."
More tears fell from her eyes as she wiped them, with Naomi comforting her.
It was then that Dr. Katherine came back with some paperwork and pamphlets on pregnancy.
"Is everything alright?" Katherine's eyes and voice showed sincerity, seeing as how the mommy to be seemed very stressed out already, which was never a good sign.
"Yes, everything is alright. It's just...can I speak to you in private, Ms. Katherine?" Taryn spoke softly as she nodded for Naomi to wait outside for her.
Naomi got the hint before she could even ask. "I'll be in the car waiting alright?" She smiled at her before she grabbed her jacket and keys and left.
Now it was just Taryn and Katherine alone.
"Is there something you wanted to talk to me about, Ms. Hilton?" She asked, sitting down in front of her patient.
"Yes there is. This is patient confidentiality right?" She swallowed hard.
"Of course. We are not allowed to disclose any information on our patient unless you have given us that permission to do so or unless it was relating to suicide." She nodded.
"I do have something to confess about my pregnancy and why I thought I was sterile." She sighed, nervously running a hand through her hair. "Back when I was 16, I was pregnant and I had an abortion which hurt really bad by someone who was...well...not professional, let's leave it at that. So, the last doctor I went too, I was told that my uterus was damaged and of course, I couldn't be able to bear any children at all."
"Well, I'm sorry you had to go through that." Katherine had sympathy for her. "But I did do more testing and even though there was some slight damage to your uterus, I believe what the doctor meant was that it would be a slim chance about, 10 percent for you to have a child. In this case, there is a chance you could have a high risk pregnancy."
Taryn started shaking and becoming more worried for the sake of her baby's health.
"That doesn't mean that it could be the case and that you could have a premature baby. With most women who have high risk pregnancies, their pregnancy still came to full term. So don't let it stress you out, Ms. Hilton. Just don't do too much strenuous activity. And we will keep having daily appointments to make sure your baby is in good health."
"But...the thing is...I thought it was my husbands and well...it's not..." She said sheepishly.
It was then that Katherine understood what she was trying to say without even saying it. "Well, I can make a few calls in secrecy and see if the sperm bank will give me a sample of your husband's sperm to see if that could be the case or something could be wrong with him. All I need is his name and date of when he donated sperm, if he did."
Taryn nodded and she gave Katherine her husband's information and how often he donated sperm and gave her his birthdate.
"I'll give you a call in a few weeks and please Ms. Hilton." She smiled warmly. "Any question you have, don't be afraid to ask. I know it's a surprise and even an emotional time, but everything will be ok and we will do all we can to help to make sure you have a healthy pregnancy."
"I can only hope." She smiled meekly before she grabbed her purse, blowing out a breath and heading outside to meet Naomi in the car.
Now she really needed ice cream and pickles to help her deal with this emotional time.
They stopped by McDonalds' as Naomi ordered the both of them some food. Of course, as much as Taryn didn't want to eat right now with her emotions messing with her, she knew she had too, especially now that there was a life inside of her.
"I got you lots of ice cream and a salad." Naomi smiled as she set her food down in front of her. "And of course, two big macs."
"God, you are an amazing friend." She started smashing on the ice cream first as she moaned at the taste and then started digging into the big Mac.
"It still trips me out. I can't believe you are pregnant." Naomi couldn't help but smile for her friend as Taryn gave her a weak smile.
"Yeah...me too..." She whispered. "It still feels so unreal. It feels like...well I don't even know at the moment."
She swallowed hard as she was picking at her food for a moment before eating it again.
"How do you feel?" Naomi had to be sure. It was pretty obvious that Taryn was confused but she had to make sure anyway. Taryn was known to be unpredictable and especially she's been through so much anyway.
"Honestly...I am happy but I'm scared as hell." She confessed. "I have every right to be. Especially since the baby doesn't even belong to Stefan."
"Thank God..." Naomi shook her head as Taryn gave her the look.
"Sorry." She held her hands up.
"No, it's just...well what is there to even say? I'm trying not to be freaked out but tell that to my brain, my nerves and the fact that I feel like rocking back and forth in a god damn fetal position. I-I just...I'm scared to be a mother but..."
"But what, honey?" She asked.
"I don't want to get rid of the baby. Not at all." She nodded her head. "It's just crazy that God gave me such a blessing inside of me. I've given up on having children at all, no matter how much it hurt. And now it's like...wow..."
It was then that Taryn felt her phone buzzing and she saw Seth Rollins calling her. She quickly put her phone on silent, rejecting it as she sent him straight to voicemail.
Naomi knew it had to be Seth calling seeing as how Taryn almost freaked out and she probably would have if they were not at McDonalds'.
"What about Seth though?" She asked her softly, trying not to stress her out. "He has to know the truth. After all, he is the father."
"No." She shook her head. "He can't know about this...not yet."
"Taryn..."
"No Naomi and I don't want you to say a word either. Not until I figure all of this out...please..." She begged her with tears in her eyes, already confused enough as it is.
Naomi knew she would never stab her best friend in the back as she held her hand. "I promise I won't say anything. You know I won't. And we can't have you stressing right now. Not today, not ever."
"I will tell him, I promise." She assured her. "I know he has to know the truth but I just want to do it on my own. I want to do it when it's the right time. He's already has big plans for his career and for his future and the last thing I want to do is jeopardize it with unexpected news such as the little one in me."
"You guys have never talked about kids at all..." She asked, drinking her soda.
"No! I mean, I told him I couldn't have kids and that my uterus was damaged according to the damn tests when I went to so many different doctors. Remind you, they all told me the same heartbreaking news to which furthered my depression." She explained. " I mean, I should be happy, jumping for joy instead why the hell do I want to bang my head against the wall with my emotions, ready to jump out?"
"Unless you are living on earth for the first time, you need to remember that this is normal." Naomi reminded her, sipping her soda. "Yes, you and Seth never expected for this to happen, especially you. But there's a reason this happened, especially for the both of you. And you don't know what could be going on through Seth's mind right now. You can't always assume the worst."
"Wanna bet?" She groaned, eating more ice cream. She had to say she was glad that they added extra chocolate in this.
She wasn't sure what she was going to do or how she was going to talk to Seth about this. Hell, she wasn't even sure what she would tell Stefan or any one of her close family and friends. She was glad she could depend on Naomi right now.
"So when do you think might be the right time for you to tell him?" She was concerned, knowing how difficult this was going to be.
"The better question is, what if Stefan finds out?" She was wiping the sweat off the palm of her hands on her jeans.
Naomi scoffed. "Who gives a fuck about what he thinks? He's the one that screwed up, he has no right to shame you."
"I know that, but there's still the fact that I'm still married to him." She looked at the wedding ring that was on her finger, despite having being in bed with Seth on more than one occasion.
"Don't remind me." Naomi rolled her eyes. "We need to send him off the planet into a black hole."
"Ok, I think Ariel has influenced you a little too much, Ms. Glow Queen." Taryn winked as they both laughed, eating their burgers.
They finished eating as they headed back out to Naomi's car, ready to head back to Ariel's.
"It's going to be ok though." Naomi reassured her. "Trust me. Once you talk to him, you two will come up with a plan and who knows, it could be a sign for the both of you to really be together. Just let it all play out."
Taryn smiled, knowing how Naomi meant well as always. However, Taryn wasn't sure of a solution herself and knew she had to prepare for the worst or for the better of the situation.
Ariel and Sasha hugged despite that Ariel was still crying. Maria and Renee Young were still there but AJ had to leave early because of a family emergency with her brother.
"I'm sorry guys, I really am." Ariel sniffled.
"Sweetie, you have never acted like this before." Sasha was concerned, hugging her shoulder. "What's been going on with you these past few days?"
Ariel sighed heavily. She knew she was acting like a real bitch. At times she was but she was more happy than bitter. Now she was a complete emotional wreck.
And it was causing a serious rift between her and her fiancé.
"I'm starting to think Roman doesn't love me anymore.." Ariel said in a faint whisper. "And I'm the one that's causing it."
"What are you talking about? Roman loves you, girl." Sasha was confused by her statement.
"Sasha, we've been fighting for the past few weeks as of lately and I don't even know where it's coming from." She confessed, more tears spilling from her eyes. "I'm accusing him of shit that I know he's never done before. And I know he doesn't do any of the things I've accused him of but its like there's this two headed monster coming out of me and it's getting worse by the minute. I've been having the worst outbursts that even Stephanie put my opportunity of getting the Women's Championship on hold."
She was pacing the floor back and forth, going over to the vanity dresser to pour herself a glass of wine that she had stashed as she drunk it halfway down before she continued.
"In other words, there's no way in hell I'm even getting a chance to be at one of the top divas anymore. And not only that, me and Roman, all we ever do is fight and I know he's getting tired of it. For fuck sakes, we're even sleeping in separate rooms. Sometimes he'll book himself a hotel to avoid coming home to me. I know I'm bipolar but that doesn't mean he deserves this treatment from me. I just don't know what to do.." The dark circles under her eyes were even starting to show as she took two pills of her medicine and downing it with water, as everyone didn't notice Maria's smirk.
"So far so good.." She thought to herself, feigning concern for Ariel as she went up to her, giving her a hug.
"Oh sweetie, I know it's a rough time right now, but maybe it's best that you and Roman have a little break. Take some time until you two decide if getting married is what you really want."
"What are you talking about a little space?" Sasha looked at her crazy. "They were meant to be together since high school." She looked back at Ariel as she was wiping her tears away. "Hell, you two started off as best friends. Its important that the both of you have to talk it out so that you can work together again, especially if the two of you are serious about getting married. I'm not telling you what to do with your decision but sometimes, taking a "break" isn't always a good idea."
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize that you were some kind of marriage counselor." Maria said in a snide manner that Sasha caught on.
"And I didn't realize that you had the answers to everything.." Sasha said sarcastically as Maria rolled her eyes.
"Well, I was Ariel's best friend since we were kids. Besides, where were you even in the picture exactly?" Maria looked at her up and down, almost laughing. "Oh yeah; You were nothing more than being some caretaker to that mentally retarded brother of yours."
It was then that Sasha was ready to jump knee deep in her ass. "Who the hell do you think you are talking about my brother and his disability?"
Maria and Sasha were quickly about to come to blows until Ariel quickly put a stop to this.
"Guys, knock it off!" She yelled at both of them. She was already having a stressful week, she didn't need two of her best friends fighting with each other now. "I don't need this shit right now. What I do need is fucking support from the both of you instead of this crap."
"You know how I feel about my brother, Ariel and she crossed the fucking line." Sasha glared at her as Renee stepped in, not wanting any fighting to go down.
"That was really uncalled for, Maria." Ariel was surprised at her. Maria was never the type to hit below the belt and thought it was kind of strange for her to do so right now.
"You know what? You're right." Maria sighed, pretending to regret what she just said, before any of them got suspicious. Her target right now was Ariel and she had to focus on that and try to smooth things over with everyone and make them feel comfortable.
"I'm sorry Sasha. I was completely out of line, especially since I know how you feel about your brother. I hope you can forgive me. The last thing I ever want to do is cause any stress for Ariel." Maria was silently hoping that the rehearsed apology would work.
It seemed that she was in the clear as Sasha sighed heavily and shook her hand. "Just don't do it again."
"I assure you, from the bottom of my heart that I won't." She nodded, smiling as she offered a hug but the look Sasha gave her made her rethink that offer.
"But I mean no harm, Ariel. You know how much I mean well." Maria smiled. "All I'm saying is the last thing you ever want to do is rush into this marriage, especially for someone who can't accept you for who you are, even with flaws and everything. It's only normal that you would be stressed out, even with the wedding itself so all I'm saying, before Sasha took it the wrong way, is to just take some time to breathe and clear your mind."
Ariel nodded, understanding with what Maria was trying to say, despite Sasha's protests. "Listen, I'll think about your advice and me and Roman will talk. He'll be coming home in the next few days so I know for sure that we are going to have no choice but to get everything out in the open. I can just only hope I don't screw anything up."
She wiped away her tears as she took a deep breath, wanting to clear her head as she stepped outside as the rest of them started to clean up.
"I'll call you ok? I have to go take care of something real quick." Maria hugged Ariel as she went on her way.
"Oh and Sasha? I really am sorry." She looked at her with regret on her face.
"Yeah…" Sasha only replied as she started to clean up with Renee Young.
Maria then went on her way, closing the door as Renee turned her attention on Sasha.
"What's wrong? Don't you accept her apology?" Renee asked, dumping the trash into the bin.
"That's the thing, Renee." Sasha went to get Ariel some water. "I know she may have apologized but I honestly don't think she meant that apology. And I didn't want to upset Ariel any further but I'm starting to not trust Maria."
Renee didn't say anything else for now but kept right on cleaning as Sasha went out to the front porch to give her best friend her water.
Of course, if they only knew that Sasha was right about Maria.
"Ariel is really starting to crack.." Maria giggled as she visited Kristen at her office where she was working on her laptop for the fashion show and the outfits she was working on. Of course, she didn't really make the outfits as she copied them from every different company and just upgraded it a little bit, and taking all the credit and all the glory.
"How so?" She smiled, curious about her other sisters downfall.
"Well, thanks to Kevin Owens finally taking up on my offer he helped me get the medication switched up. Now according to her, all they ever do is fight and Roman is so sick of her shit, there's a chance they will no longer be engaged anymore. Pretty soon, he will be mine." She smiled evilly. "That bitch stole him from me long time ago and I will never forgive her for that."
Of course that really wasn't the case. Roman only went on one date with Maria and it didn't work out. It was before he met Ariel but overall, as much as Maria thought that their date went well, Roman stunned her with the "Let's Just Be Friends." Line. There was no kiss goodnight, no sex. Maria felt like she had been screwed over and was fuming about it. No one knew about her crush but Kristen could see it very clear that she was in love with the man and made an offer to her that she couldn't even refuse, which was to join her to bring down the sisters and she would help her steal Roman away from Ariel if she wanted too.
She hated Ariel since day one but the only reason why she stuck around so long was because Kristen convinced her. After all, the saying goes "Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer." She only stuck around Ariel just so she could know her personally and work up her plan to destroy her for good. She knew her mental disorder was one of them but she had to work it to her advantage. So she did a little "manipulation" to Kevin Owens and he was right on board with it. Taryn on the other hand, she was just doing Kristen's dirty work. They each deserved their own happiness and they both decided to team up to destroy both sisters once and for all.
Kristen couldn't help but smile to herself, seeing as how she had crushed Taryn's spirit with the video she made of her and Stefan. Of course, it was so easy to manipulate Stefan into doing whatever she wanted and the video and photos were only just the beginning. She had much bigger plans in mind and she wanted to teach Taryn a lesson she wouldn't forget. She always thought that fat bitch had everything and was the so called perfect child. Her and Ariel' friendship as well as her entire family sickened her and she just wanted to leave them all in the dirt.
"Trust me, they will never find out about the switch with the pills, I'm sure of it." Kristen said. "And besides, its only a matter of time before Roman dumps her ass and he'll need some comfort."
"Oh I plan on making him mine in every way." She sipped her champagne as Kristen's assistant came in with two glasses. "Where is Stefan anyway?"
"I don't know. He's obsessed with trying to contact Taryn. Come to think of it, I haven't heard anything from her either." She said irritated. She knew it was part of the plan but she was still jealous. They had planned it from the get go ever since her mother passed away but she made it very clear to him that she was the woman for him and that Taryn was nothing more than a fuck up mentally disturbed freak show...
FLASHBACK; Senior Year
"Yeah right? Are you serious?" He scoffed, shoving his hands into the pocket of his varsity jacket. "I don't buy it."
Kristen texted Stefan, saying that she wanted to see him in private about Taryn and that she had "concerns" for him with the type of behavior she was having as of lately, which was a lie but she was going to spin it in anyway she could.
So while Taryn was at work and Ariel went to go hang out with Roman for the time being, she texted Stefan as if it was an emergency. She was at cheerleading practice and they took a break as they went behind the back of the school building to talk in private. Stefan couldn't help but smile as he licked his lips at Kristen's skinny long legs in the cheerleader skirt.
"All I'm saying is from what she told me, she was going to have you make you look like a complete idiot once you two hooked up and that once she didn't give a damn about you. I know my baby sister; She is manipulative and disturbed and needs to be put on a leash. She only thinks of herself. Besides, you know she told me that she's cheated on you more than once. Three times actually." Kristen lied, hiding her smirk as Stefan was taking the bait the more he was listening to her.
The more she kept spinning her web of lies and manipulation, dragging her little sister's name through the mud of how much he was sleeping around and how she was nothing more than a cheating whore, the more he easily bought into it. She honestly thought this was way too easy and now she was going to put her move into motion. All she had to do was convince him to marry her when that day came and since she could see that Stefan was also smart in finances, he could trick Taryn into signing over all the properties over to Stefan if something unfortunate happened to her.
"I just feel like you are such a good man Stefan. You are smart, handsome, above all anyone else, and you deserve the best. I just didn't want you to be kept in the dark like that with how my sister has been so reckless behind you back and she just doesn't appreciate you. She has treated me like shit and I'm the big sister. I'm the loving and caring one and its just not right you know." Kristen sniffled, wiping away a fake tear as Stefan kissed her hand, completely buying her act of being treated badly by the family.
Stefan was more than ready to dump Taryn flat out all together until Kristen proposed another idea. One that she knew he wouldn't refuse.
"But if you dump her, there's a chance you won't get your share of the financial rewards that she has planned." Kristen purred.
Stefan had thought about it for a moment. He came from a wealthy family that was true and he had just as much power as anyone.
"Go on.." He listened to her, showing interest in what she had to say.
"I propose an idea and I think it's one that I know you won't refuse…and with a bonus.." She took his hand as she guided it up her skirt as he groaned, feeling how wet she was, wearing no panties. "You will be able to have just a taste of me and what it's like to be around a real woman."
Stefan couldn't help but smile evilly. "Well then count me in. I'll make sure to keep that bitch in line. She was so desperate to date me and I just felt sorry for her honestly."
"I know…that's why I said you are a good man…" She gave him a kiss on the lips as he smiled some more, but wiping it off so there wouldn't be an evidence of his cheating.
"So..enlighten me on this plan now.." He listened as Kristen went on to explain...
PRESENT
"I don't even get this plan you and him have going on, just explain it again." She rolled her eyes, downing the champagne.
"God, you must really have your head banged against the wall more than once." She said in a snide manner. "I told you; Before that stupid bitch mother of mine got ill and croaked, she was a famous author for horror book novels. She had royalties lined up as well as real estate properties. We spoke with the man who did my mother's will as she spoke with me and my sisters and my grandmother. She was going to give them to Taryn." She twisted in face in disgust before she continued.
"However, Taryn didn't want to use it for her own purposes and I'm guessing she wants to give the money to some stupid charity and give it to Ariel's charity as well. But that's not the point. All that money belonged to me and Stefan, especially me. And he was working on this plan with me, but now that the law firm is going into shit and his family locked his trust fund, now we are both trying to work quickly to get to that money before Taryn decides to get her hands on it and give it away to some stupid charity for those disgusting homeless shelters for those snot nosed kids, or mutt animals or whatever. However, if something were to happen to Taryn, say an illness or if she was physically inactive to take over the estate properties as well as handling the money, then it would be passed on to a spouse, which is Stefan. Of course, putting her in a coma didn't work so I'm trying to think of something else, anything to get her fucking committed in that insane asylum."
"Who knows? Pretty soon she will be. The notes I've been leaving her, no one will find out it was me."
"Better not." Kristen's eyes got dark. "Once I get ties to that money, you and I will be able to do anything we want and if you fuck this up, I will make sure you go down for this."
Maria swallowed hard, trying not to show any fear. Kristen could be a complete sociopath when she wanted to be and sometimes she didn't even realize it.
Or maybe she did and just didn't give two shits about it. After all, she was a major bitch on wheels.
However, she wasn't so worried about Kristen's plan at the moment. As long as Kevin didn't do anything stupid and mess up the plan and continue having Ariel's pills fucked up, it will cause a serious strain for the couple and then she will definitely convince Roman that they love each other.
And she was not going to let anyone stand in her way, as well as Kristen.
Taryn was back at Seth's hotel room as she smiled at him, hugging him as he fixed up his suit and tie. He had a radio interview to get to in the next hour and it was going to be about his match at Summerslam and his Money In The Bank along with his current feud with against John Cena.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me? I need some good luck." He winked at her as she giggled, blushing.
"I'm still going to be here, don't worry. I'll be listening on my phone about the interview. Besides, they need to focus on you and right now, its all about Seth Rollins right now."
He smiled as he kissed her lips softly. "I'll take you out to dinner before we go back on the road, ok?"
"I know. And also…I have to talk to you about something too, once you get back." She swallowed hard, nervous to talk to him about her current state
The fact that she was carrying his child. She had been thinking about it for awhile and she knew he deserved the truth. She was grateful that Naomi didn't pressure him to tell him the truth and was also grateful that she was going to keep her secret for the time being.
She wasn't sure what the future would hold for them. Hell, she wasn't even sure about her own damn future right now, especially since she was still legally married to Stefan.
He saw the call and knew it was Hunter and that his limo driver has already arrived.
"I'll call you when the interview is over, babe." He kissed her again as he stepped out as she smiled, excited for him. He's worked really hard for this moment. She hoped he would cash in and take the title away from John Cena, but she knew only time would tell.
She leaned against the door as she saw her phone ringing and saw it was Dr. Katherine. She answered the call immediately.
"Hello Dr. Katherine." She spoke softly.
"Hello there, Ms. Hilton, how are you?" She asked, concerned.
"I'm ok…so what did you find out…about my husband?" She asked carefully.
"Well, the test came back, about 2 hours later. It seems that Stefan has a condition called Oligospermia. What that means is that he has an extremely low sperm count and that he's actually infertile."
Taryn was surprised. Shocked to say the least. All this time he was blaming her for not being able to get pregnant when it was all his fault from the get go.
"Thank you…thank you for the information, Dr. Katherine. I'll call you back if I have anymore questions."
"Don't forget. You do have a doctor's appointment about your baby in the next few weeks."
"Yes, of course." She nodded and agreed to keep her appointment as she hung up the phone.
It was time for the interview as she sat on the sofa, smiling as she heard Seth's voice as well as Triple HHH. She went into the mini fridge and got herself some ice cream and ordered room service for some sub sandwiches and pickles.
The food came and she was digging in, happy to hear Seth's excitement for his upcoming match and even teasing on whether or not he was going to cash in his contract.
She rubbed her stomach, feeling the flutter as she ate another spoon of ice cream.
"My, you must really love mint chocolate chip, don't you sweetheart?" She giggled softly, still listening to the interview as she got cozy on the couch.
It was then the host asked Seth a few more topics, involving his personal life.
"So where is your head at right now? What is your focus when you are not with the WWE 24/7?" The man asked.
"Honestly, I'm only focusing on building a better name for myself." Seth explained. "That name being the man, Seth Rollins. I can't let any distractions tie me down at the moment. I'm on the right path and I intend to stay that way."
It was then that Taryn felt her heart sank down to her very stomach. She decided not to listen to the interview right now as she sat on the bed, sadness washing over her.
Of course someone like Seth wouldn't want to have any children. He didn't want to be tied down to any distractions and she knew that a baby would be one of those distractions.
She rubbed her stomach carefully as she could already feel the headache coming in. Now she wasn't sure what else to do in her current situation. She wanted Seth to be successful in his WWE career and she didn't want to stand in the way of his dream.
"Looks like I'm in a bigger hole than I thought sweetheart." Her eyes filled with tears as she wiped them away.
She went into the bathroom as she started to splash her face with cold water. When she looked up though, she almost jumped as she knew for sure she saw a ghost.
Or in this case, one of the many demons that would always come back to haunt her.
It was a little girl, a toddler. She stared at Taryn.
"Why? Why mommy? Why did you kill me?" She asked her. "Do you not love me? I thought you loved me. I wouldn't be dead right now if it wasn't for you. You did this to me."
Even though Taryn's baby had never been born when she was 16 before the abortion, Taryn had always imagined and dreamt of her baby being a beautiful little girl.
And even though she was pregnant now, her mind played some twisted tricks on her.
The toddler was even covered in blood as Taryn closed her eyes, trying to get rid of the image.
"It's not real…it's not real…it's just your mind playing tricks…please God make it go away…" She damn near sobbed, trembling as she held her ears closed, trying to shut out the laughter that was going on in her mind. She just wanted it to stop. It was just a hallucination.
By the time she opened her eyes, the ghost was gone and she started breathing again.
She went and took a shower as she got ready for her dinner date with Seth.
She slipped into a nice dark purple dress as he pulled her hair back into a ponytail and slipped on her wedges. She sat back down as she went and ate more of her pickles and ice cream, hiding her disappointment at what happened at the interview as it still went on. She also took two prenatal vitamins as well and decided to lay down for a nap until she heard Seth coming in about two hours later.
...
They went to dinner at Diner Deluxe and Taryn loved their food right off the spot.
"I'm glad you talked me into coming here." She smiled, enjoying the Strawberry Mascarpone Mousse Waffle with chocolate truffles. She licked the whip cream off her finger as Seth smiled, toasting his drink as she toasted her mango smoothie
"How come you didn't want to order your favorite drink? The long island ice tea. I remember you told me that it was your favorite." He asked curiously.
"Oh um…I just didn't want to have it tonight, you know." She smiled reassuringly.
She started to feel nauseated and prayed that it would go away before Seth started to get suspicious.
"Your interview was amazing. I'm really proud of you Seth." She smiled at him.
"You know Xavier wants me on that show UpUpDownDown." Seth smirked. "I'm suppose to go against AJ Styles but I'm the champ."
"I bet I can kick your ass in video games." She smirked right back as Seth had a dirty grin.
"We'll see about that." He teased, his brown eyes having that sexy stare at her as she blushed.
"So what was it that you had to talk to me about, sweetheart?" He asked as she stopped eating in mid-pause.
"What was that?" She asked, already rattled a bit.
"Remember back at the hotel, you said you needed to talk to me? What was it about?"
"Oh umm..it was nothing important. I wanted to just, ask when you think you may cash in?" She lied, as he was trying to read her face for a moment before he continued.
"Well, all I have to do is catch John off his guard. But honestly, I want to do it as soon as possible. I deserve that championship." He said, confident and with some cockiness to it.
"Don't worry, you deserve it. I know for sure you will get it." She smiled at him as he kissed the palm of her hand and then kissed her lips softly. She was happy they had a booth in the back, a private one at that.
She felt guilty having to lie to him but she had to do what was best.
She knew that eventually her pregnancy would start to show and sooner or later, she would have to figure out a plan and fast.
Seth then distracted her once more as he gave her another kiss and she took in his lips.
However, unknown to them someone was following them as they snapped a picture of the two of them.
The man then sent the picture over to his boss as he called the phone. It rang a few times.
"This is Stefan Hilton." He answered, already sounding irritated.
"Remember you told me to keep tabs on Taryn?" He said.
"Yeah. What did you find? She hasn't been answering my phone calls at all."
"Well, this should be your reason. Look at your phone of the picture I just sent to you."
Stefan had a puzzled look as he looked at his phone, the picture finished loading. It popped up and there stood a picture of Taryn kissing another man.
That man, being his long time enemy was Seth Rollins.
He didn't expect her to be happy and smiling with this fucking idiot. No matter what he did to her, she was suppose to be loyal to him and him alone. He owned her. He was the one helping to keep her fucking secret of the abortion. She should have been crying, begging for him to take her back and waiting on him hand and foot. He needed her to be helpless, on the verge of losing her mind to the point that she was not mentally stable and that he would have access to the money, just as Kristen had promised.
He was not working fast enough. He had to get Taryn to hate Seth again, to drive a wedge between them, otherwise he would lose control over her and everything she owned and be stuck in the same fucking miserable rut he was in now.
He knew what he had to do.
Taryn was at her hotel as Seth went to the Black and Brave Academy today and knew he would be doing his Cross fit training today. They checked into another hotel after about 8 hours of traveling. They were pretty tired. She would have to go to Monday Night Raw later today but she was not going to be wrestling, as she told Mark that she wasn't really feeling all that great. She decided to talk to Stephanie about her predicament. It was better if it was woman to woman anyway.
Of course, she wasn't sure how she would break the news to her family, especially her husband who I knew was not going to be wasting any time with her.
Just then, a knock on her door started as she slipped on her white fluffy robe.
She opened the door as she was shocked to see it was Stefan.
"Hello Taryn. Do you think I can come in so we can talk?"
