Chapter Seventeen
I Disclaim, sadly but I do
Dave and Leila said goodbye to Steph and Paul and she said she'd be back in a few days. She was going to Smackdown with Dave and then they were going to DC to see his family. First she had a surprise for Dave. She had made an appointment with Steph's OB/GYN and had an ultrasound scheduled this morning.
"I have another stop to make before we leave the hospital." She said to Dave as if she were visiting someone else. "Do you want to go with me?" She asked as they stood at the elevators.
"Of course, where are we going?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Get your mind out of the gutter." She smirked at him as they arrived on the next floor. She smiled as the walked to the nurses station. "Dr. Walker, how are you?" Leila said and kissed the doctor's cheeks.
"Oh, Please, I think you can call me Joanne." She said hugging Leila. "Are you ready?" Leila glanced back to Dave who wondered what was going on.
"We sure are." Leila couldn't fight the grin as they walked to a private room. The lights were out and Dave instantly knew why they were there. He could hardly contain his excitement and was so happy Leila had included him. "Oh, JoJo this is Dave, my…um, my…"
"I'm her future husband and father of this baby." He stood and shook the doctor's hand. He shot Leila a look that made her laugh.
Everyone got comfortable and Jo began the sonogram. Dave watched as he saw his baby. He missed this with his girls and was amazed at the technology. He could actually see what the baby looked like. Jo explained this was a 3D scan and it gave the best assessment of the babies. It was easier to see any deformities or malformations. "You are 19 weeks, right?" Leila shook her head in response. "Are you sure?" Leila shook her head again and gave her the important details to determine the dates. "Well then you have a huge baby." She continued her scans and printed pictures. "Ok, we're at the part where I ask that ever important question, do you want to know?" She looked to them both and they looked at eachother.
"I don't think it's much of a mystery. It's a 50-50 shot and I don't like surprises." Leila replied looking at Dave as if he actually had a vote. "Besides, wouldn't you want to know if you've produced another girl?" She had to smile at his nervousness.
"Fine, tell us." Everyone looked at the screen and finally Jo stopped.
"Can you see this?" She looked to them and they shook their heads. "Congratulations." She took a picture and printed it. She completed everything with Leila and said she'd see her next month. "It was very nice to meet you Dave and Leila don't be such a stranger." They hugged again and said goodbye.
"How do you know her?" He asked curiously.
"Jojo grew up down the street from Steph and we roomed together at college." Leila wanted to cry. The pictures of the baby were so phenomenal and getting to see what the baby looked like before the birth was exciting. They both couldn't stop smiling and they left for the airport. They discussed telling people or making them wait but decided to tell the family first and then everyone else. "You know Steph will kill me for not going back up to tell her."
"True, but we're about to miss our flight. Had we stayed longer she'd have to explain to her dad why I was late for the show." As if Vince would have cared. He would have definitely excused Dave for this one and they both knew it. They simply wanted that alone time together to enjoy the moment. They just saw their baby for the first time and had only reconciled less than 24 hours ago. They needed this time. Dave actually made it to the gate with only one interruption and it was the security team. He posed for pictures of course and a few fans had stopped him too but only to shake his hand. They all seemed very respectful this time; although they were never technically disrespectful they did tend to forget he had a plane to catch.
Leila was surprised he didn't distance himself from her this time as he usually did, he held her hand or never let her go far from him; even when he posed for pictures, she was just off camera or she was the one taking them. Several fans congratulated them on the baby and complimented him on Leila's beauty. Leila introduced herself to them when they shook her hand and she treated them as if this were a party and she'd become their friend. He watched her interact and was so proud. Angie hated it when they were stopped and she always complained and even gave fans dirty looks.
They relaxed on the plane and she fell asleep with her head in Dave's lap. He couldn't help but stroke her face and head with one hand and rub her belly with the other. He even got a few kicks, or elbows from the baby. He covered her with a blanket so he could pull her shirt up and rub her bare belly. He felt closer to his child when he touched her skin. He thought back at how much his life had changed in the past year. He divorced a spiteful woman he never should have been with, he met, made a baby and is presently engaged to the most exquisite creature he'd ever seen. When he'd found out about Angie he swore he'd never marry again and now he's got someone who's the exact opposite. Thank god.
Dave waited until the plane touched down before he woke Leila. She was startled for a split second when she realized her shirt was hiked up but looked at Dave when she felt the blanket and his hand. He looked into those hazel pools that saw into his soul and he bent down kissing her forehead, the tip of her nose and inhaled sharply when her hand went behind his head bringing his lips flush against hers. She briefly slipped her tongue in his mouth to tide her over until she could get her hands all over him and she knew it would drive him mad. Her actions elicited a moan from him and she relished in the power she had over him, even with her belly the size of a watermelon she still could hold his attention.

Word quickly spread Dave was in the arena with a pregnant Leila. Mark Calloway was the first to find them and offer congratulations, he knew how miserable Dave had been and had forced him on several occasions to go out and get a few drinks to relieve his mind for a few hours. Soon they had drawn a crowd and everyone gave congratulations and even thanked Leila for returning to the states so Dave would quit being an asshole. A few divas and females who worked backstage were glaring at Leila and gave her fake smiles and warm wishes but she knew they weren't sincere. She knew Michelle McCool wanted Dave as did Jillian, but Jillian was smart enough to leave Dave alone since his heart belonged to someone else, the other girls took Leila's absence as the opportunity to go in for the kill.
Leila got a kick out of their reactions to not only her engagement ring but the baby as well. She heard a few say Dave only asked her because she was knocked up and it took all her reserve to not go over and punch them square in the face. She told Dave when they got back to his locker room and he loved the jealousy, it made her crinkle her nose in the cutest way. Leila knew Dave wouldn't lie to her and it was obvious he hadn't been with any of them, they showed it in their expressions. This reassured Leila's insecurities and seeing what these girls were like she didn't question Dave's loyalty, they were childish and whiny, he wouldn't tolerate that at all.
He made her sit down, relax and watch the show with him. It didn't take her long and she was laying down with her head in his lap. "Hey, Leila, while you're down there…" She rolled her eyes at his implications and he laughed.
"Why do men do that? It's not funny or cute and how many times does a woman actually do that when you say, hey baby while you're down there…?" Leila had always wondered that. Why does a man automatically think blowjob? How does he segue from something like grilled cheese sandwiches, shopping for shoes, even Thanksgiving dinner to blowjobs and sex? She never understood it.
"Your reaction is why I do it. You get so worked up about it." He still laughed at her.
Again she rolled her eyes. "You act like you never get one." She knew Dave did it to spin her up but once she was on a roll it was hard to stop. He played with her hair and rubbed her belly. This had become his two favorite things.
"Technically it's been several long months. Very long months since I've seen you." He just kept going with pushing her buttons.
"And you're on the fast track to continuing your long lonely journey." Lied right through her teeth.
"If that's the case I'm sure there are plenty of girls right outside this door who would be more than happy to get a piece of me." He couldn't fight the smile. He had no game at all and Leila knew it too.
"Is that a challenge? Are you daring me? I'll bet you your SummerSlam paycheck that I can do without longer than you can." Leila sat up and put her hand out to shake on it. He turned it over and kissed each knuckle. He flipped her hand back over and let his tongue slightly touch her palm as he kissed it.
"You really going to pay that kind of money when you lose?" He raised his eyebrows at her quizzically.
"Well, Dave honey, since we'll be married and sharing everything, that paycheck will be mine anyway so I guess if we get down to it, it's a wash." She ran her hands down his chest. Leila knew damn well she'd cave before Dave did; it was a sucker's bet.
He fought the desire to throw her down and ravage her body. "A wash, is that your logic? Your money's your money and my money is our money?" He ran his hands through her hair and pulled her head back. His tongue and lips teased her neck and chin. He ran his tongue along her jaw and up to her ear.
"Well, I'm glad we understand eachother now so we don't have to have this conversation again later." She could barely speak without her voice cracking or moaning. He picked her up and placed her on his lap. Her back was to his chest and she felt the warmth of his skin through their clothes. He placed her legs on either side of his and pulled them open. His hands went up her shirt and he released her swelling breasts. He found out quickly how sensitive they were when he ran his fingertips over her nipples. Her head fell back to his shoulder and her eyes closed.
Dave's hands roamed down her sides and worked their way around her thighs. He massaged her inner thighs letting his thumbs graze her center. Clothes or not he was driving her mad. She fought the moan as hard as she could but it was no use. He unsnapped and unzipped her shorts teasing her beyond comprehension. His fingers worked her delicate areas taking her to the edge and bringing her back. Her body reacted by naturally moving with and against his hands. Dave felt her body tense and he removed his hands and pushed her to her feet. He put his hands on her back to make sure she was steady and then slapped her ass.
"I need to get ready for my match." He hid the smile and grabbed his bag. Leila couldn't move, she was stunned.
"Mother…fucker." She vowed to make him pay.
"What's wrong, honey?" He never called her honey unless he was mocking her. She closed her eyes to regain control of her body. She was still tingling and her body screamed for release. The throbbing was sexually painful and if she was that kind of gal she'd fix this herself. She took a deep breath and sat back on the chair plotting his demise.
