Chapter 2

Taylor sat in the toilet cubicle, with her thumb over the 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' screen of her pregnancy test. Her hands were shaking a little, but her grip was firm. She thought to herself, trying to calm herself down and to stop shaking "C'mon Taylor, you can do this, calm down, breathe, breathe." Taylor took in a deep, silent breath, and exhaled slowly.

Angelina sat two cubicles away from Taylor, doing exactly the same as she was. A single tear ran down her face, but she quickly wiped it away with her free hand and composed herself, focusing on that her results were just a couple of minutes away and that she could cry then, whatever emotion it may be due to.

Both Knockouts decided they couldn't sit where they were any longer, the sitting silently in the confinement of a toilet cubicle became too much for either of them to bear, so they got up, unlocked their doors and stepped back into the main part of the bathroom.

Angelina and Taylor still stared at their tests intently, but realised after a few seconds that there was another presence in the room besides themselves. Dark brown eyes met another pair of dark brown eyes as the two women looked up and saw each-other for the first time that day.

A stunned silence filled the room as they stared across at each-other, neither able to say a word through their surprise at seeing the other. Both women's eyes then went to what the other was holding in her hands. The already shocked expressions on their faces turned even more so as they realised that they just might finally have something in common.

Before either of them could utter a word to break the silence, they were knocked to the ground from behind. The attackers mounted their victims and started punching and slapping at their heads. Taylor knew it was Raisha Saeed from black veil covered face, whilst Angelina knew it was Daffney who was attacking her through the polka dotted outfit and dark hair.

Raisha threw Taylor into one of the toilet cubicles, where she narrowly missed hitting her head on the brick wall. Taylor thought fast and kicked out with both legs at Raisha's knee, making her momentarily stop her attack. Taylor looked around for a weapon, and found one in the shape of a sanitary trash can. She picked it up and hit Saeed in the face with it, Saeed then collapsed to the ground from the impact.

Angelina, who had managed to force herself and Daffney to their feet, was pounding Daffney in the face when Taylor shouted to her, "Angelina! Duck!" Angelina did so, and Taylor launched the trash can at Daffney's head, hitting it so perfectly that she wished she had a camera. Ditching the trash can, Taylor kicked Saeed, who was now bleeding from the nose, grabbed her by the veil and threw her out of the bathroom. Daffney soon followed her friend to the floor as Angelina threw her out of the bathroom by her hair.

Having heard the commotion, most of the locker room had gathered to see what all the fuss was about, and were more than surprised to see Taylor Wilde and Angelina Love fighting side-by-side, but probably not as surprised as the two usually rivalling Knockouts were themselves. Taylor and Angelina looked up from staring at Saeed and Daffney to see that all eyes of the TNA roster were on them.

Somewhere in that crowd, Angelina saw the man she could be pregnant to, looking straight at her and Taylor. Not knowing what else to do, she, doing her best to just look genuinely pissed off, turned around and slammed the bathroom door shut, leaving herself and Taylor inside, and everybody else on the outside.

Inside, Angelina leaned on the door, sighed and slid down it slowly into a sitting position. She shook her head, and said, "Of all days, of all moments, they picked here and now to be random bitches." She put her head in her hands, inwardly feeling like she was going to explode. Taylor nodded understandingly at what she said, a feeling which surprised the hell out of her as she never thought she'd sympathise with anything concerning Angelina Love. Her eyes then wandered around the room, and then she realised something. "Oh no." Taylor said aloud, which alarmed Angelina, who took her hands away from her face, looked up at Taylor, and asked, "What?"

Taylor didn't answer Angelina directly, instead walking over to the other side of the room, where lay a pregnancy test, which Taylor picked up. A few feet away from the first lay another pregnancy test, again, Taylor picked it up. She walked back over to Angelina, while saying, "You don't happen to recognise your one, do you?"

Taylor stopped in front of the other blonde woman, and Angelina shook her head in answer to her question, and then looked at the floor. She had absolutely no idea which one was hers as checking out the looks of the stick she peed on wasn't exactly her top priority whilst it was in her possession.

Taylor sighed, and stated, "They both say Clearblue on them, so, I don't think we're gonna be able to figure this one out."

Angelina nodded, with a pissed off look on her face and also sighed.. She then looked up from the floor, and straight at Taylor and asked, "What do they say?" Angelina thought to herself, before Taylor answered her, "I can't believe this is happening. It's not real, this can't be real. Why Taylor Wilde? Why is she here now? Damn bitch is always trying to be better than me, she has to get pregnant at the same time as me too?! God!"

Taylor cleared her throat and replied, "One says pregnant and one says not pregnant." Angelina nodded her head and sniggered bitterly, looking away from Taylor, and thought, "Of course they do. God must really hate me."

After about another 10 seconds of silence, a loud banging sound on the door filled the room, startling both women. They looked at each-other with raised eyebrows, before they heard Jim Cornette's voice shouting from the other side, "Taylor! Angelina! What's going on in there? Are you girls okay?"

Taylor and Angelina looked at each-other like "What do we say?" Taylor just blurted out the first thing that came into her head and said, "Uh, yeah, we're fine, we're fine, really."

Jim, on the other side of the door, had a really impatient look on his face and shouted back at Taylor, "Well, you might be, but I'm soon going to have a Knockout rebellion on my hands if you two don't re-open the women's bathroom some time soon!" Taylor sighed, and started to head towards the door, but remembered that she still had the tests in her hand. She looked a bit confused at what she should do, and then just slid them into the front pockets of her jeans. She walked briskly towards the door, then looked down at Angelina, who was still sitting in front of the door, and offered her a hand to help her up from the floor. Angelina scoffed and got up herself. Taylor rolled her eyes at the taller woman's immaturity and yanked the bathroom door open, coming face to face with Cornette.

Angelina looked at the older man and said, sarcastically, "Voila, rebellion avoided. Happy now?"

Cornette glared at Angelina and replied, "No, as a matter of fact, I'm not happy. I'm not happy that you two seem to think it's okay to treat the bathroom like a battle ground for releasing PMS!!"

Taylor and Angelina shared a look of disgust and started yelling at Cornette, Taylor shouted, "PMS?! I'LL SHOW YOU PMS!!!" whilst Angelina waved her arms around and yelled, "PMS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! IT WASN'T OUR FAULT, THEY ATTACKED US!!!"

Cornette's face turned somewhat of a beetroot shade of red in reaction to being yelled at and he bellowed above the voices of the women in front of him, "ENOUGH!!!!!!"

Angelina and Taylor quietened down, and sighed, still angry at Cornette's comment. Angelina decided that she'd had enough and announced, "You know what Mr. Cornette? You're right, that is enough! I've had enough! I have to go with Velvet to her match, I don't have time for this shit!" Angelina shoved her way out of the doorway of the bathroom and through the people who were standing watching the argument, not looking at anybody in case she caught the eye of the father of her potential baby, as he was still there watching.

Taylor tried to walk past Cornette to get out of the bathroom, but he stepped in her way. She tried to walk the other way but he stepped in her way again. Taylor looked up at him and said, "Excuse me." Cornette just stared at the petite Knockout, trying his best to intimidate her. Unlucky for Cornette, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin were just returning backstage from competing in the ring.

Consequences Creed tapped Alex, who was adjusting his championship belt, on the shoulder, Alex looked up at him and Creed pointed towards Taylor and Cornette. Alex's back was immediately up and he said, loudly enough to get Cornette's attention, "Hey!"

He walked up to his girlfriend and TNA's Management Director. He looked at Jim, and then at Taylor, and then held his arm out for Taylor to come and hug him, "C'mere babe" She moved past Cornette, this time he didn't dare to stand in her way, and Alex pulled her close to him and laid a protective arm around her shoulder. He looked Cornette directly in the eyes and asked, "Is there a problem here?"

Cornette knew he was out of his depth and he decided to back down and answered, "No, no, there's not Shelley, no problem, me and Wilde were just having a discussion, that's all."

Cornette looked around for an escape and saw one in Jeremy Borash, walking towards him quickly and called out, "Hey Jeremy!" Taylor and Alex both watched as Borash looked at Cornette with the weirdest, most confused look known to man as Cornette babbled a load of nonsense and half marched both of them down the hallway.

Alex turned back to Taylor and smiled at her, she smiled back and reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, embracing him and finding a much needed comfort. Alex returned the hug, and kissed Taylor on the head. They held each-other for a while and then Alex asked Taylor, "You all right there, sweetheart?"

She removed her head from his shoulder, and left her arms around his neck, she looked up at him, and thought "I want to tell him. I really want to tell him. But, I might not be pregnant, so then I'd just be worrying him for nothing." Taylor just smiled at Alex and kissed him.

After a few seconds, she pulled away and replied, "I'm fine. And congratulations on defending." Taylor took one of her hands away from his neck and tapped his championship belt, smiling.

Alex returned her smile and said, "Hey, you know me and Sabin, unstoppable!" Taylor giggled and nodded, agreeing.

They both started walking down the hallway, and Alex asked Taylor "So, what was all that about with Cornette?"

Taylor rolled her eyes and began to explain, "Oh it was nothing really, just him trying and failing to go on a power trip." They headed for the MCMG's locker room, Taylor completely failing to remember about the two pregnancy tests in her jeans pockets.
