This is the second chapter people. Thanks to everyone who has read it. Dont forget to leave a little review for me! I appreciate it. Thanks and enjoy.
Btw; don't own anything except for Pixie and her brother &&wife.
I laid in my bed as the warm sun washed into my hotel room just… thinking. I'd been thinking all night. Hardly slept a wink and when I did I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt I was pregnant but when I had the baby it came out with smiling at me with a mouth full of teeth. Really creepy stuff, I didn't go back to sleep after that.
I'd sat with John for a few hours talking, not leaving till about 3 in the morning. My brother had tried calling me a few times but I ignored the call. The problem with me was that I was a control freak, I liked to be in control of my wardrobe, hair, make-up, job and most importantly my life. I didn't want anything to mess that up.
John had sat and held my hand while I talked everything out with him. The pro's and con's. It had been a long list of con's. My head was telling me that I shouldn't do. That it was a stupid idea and I should tell Max to shove it. But my heart was telling me that he was family. And in doing this it might bring us closer. Stupid, but the little girl inside me yearned for the love of my older brother.
I sat up from the be rubbing the imaginary sleep from my eyes. I needed to get up and dressed, I needed to face my brother. I needed to see John. I quickly jumped into the shower soaping away all the tension in my shoulders. Once out I went straight to my wardrobe, I grabbed the first thing my hand touched which was a red halter neck top with silver lining. And a black denim skirt. I put it all on a grabbed my shoes black open toe 6 inch heels with a bow on the back.
I felt a lot better, I grabbed my purse and headed for the door not sure where I was going. I walked slowly to the elevator and climbed in my finger hovering over the buttons. I didn't know whether to go to my brothers room or John's. "You need to press a button to make the lift move baby, or didn't you ever learn that?"
"I know that douchbag." John climbed in next to me and held onto my hand making my arm feel like it was alight with fire. I smiled at him and felt my worried lift a little higher. With a simple touch John made me feel like everything was okay. I've always wondered what it would feel like to kiss him. Something I didn't need to be thinking now. "I don't think I can face him John."
"Sure you can Pixie, he's your brother."
"Yeah, and he's asking something of me which is pretty huge. Bigger then me, bigger then I think I can handle"
"You're strong enough to handle it, baby." I looked up at John and felt my stomach do summersaults, I suddenly had a huge urge to just kiss him, to just grab him and kiss him till I couldn't breath. It was such an intense feeling that I had to pull my hand from his. John gave me a funny look. "You okay?"
I nodded, I felt my palms sweat a little, it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do but I learn in a kissed John, right on the mouth. It was sweet and tender. I felt my lips burn and all to quickly I pulled away, John's face was a picture of confusion and I could see a hint of a smile. I wanted to kiss him again, I wanted him to hold me.
"I'm gonna walk to my brothers room. See you later John." I stepped out and went for the stairs my heels clicking as I went.
I felt this smile on my face grow. I couldn't actually believe I'd kissed my best friend. I had to admit I'd wanted to do it for years. Since we'd first met, I don't know what made me do it now, but I was glad I did, it gave me the confidence to do what I was about to do.
I knocked and waited for what felt like a lifetime. The door opened and my brother smiled at me, before pulling me into a hug. I patted his back awkwardly, before he let go and welcomed me inside. "Hi, Max."
"Pixie I'm so glad you're here, I was hoping you'd turn up."
"Yeah, I'm sorry I left so quickly, it was a lot to deal with."
"I know, I'm sorry…" I held my hand up to stop him, his apologise was the last thing I wanted right now. I took a deep breath and sat down on the bed. "I'm so glad you're here, I've been going crazy last night I went about it totally the wrong way and…"
"You can stop now Max, I was with John last night talking about what you said and…" I stopped, I had to. I felt my head go fuzzy then straighten out. I didn't think I could do this. I was about to open my mouth when a knock echoed into the room. Max stood up and answered the door.
A voice rung out, one I really didn't want to hear, it made my head hurt and my gut ache. "Maxi-bear! I'm here, I've missed you!" I looked to see my sister-in-law hug my brother and smother him in kisses. I turned away not wanting to see such a sickening display of affection.
I waited until Lindsey saw me and waited for the snide remark that would follow, something along the lines of 'Pixie dear, don't you look… lovely.' or 'Oh I see you've decided t go with the gothic look today. It suits you' but it didn't.
"Pixie, it's so good to see you!" She rushed over and hugged me, another awkward moment, I didn't pat her back, I just left my hands hanging at my sides. "So… did Max speak to you about our problem?" Her eyes seemed to light up when she spoke to me, kind of hopeful.
Damn, I may not like the woman but I couldn't help but feel sorry for her a little bit. "Yes he did… look you two sit down please." They both sat on the bed their eyes hopeful and their hands clasped together. Shit… I took a deep breath and thought of John and the kiss. It made me steam forward. "Okay, so yes Max did speak to me yesterday and he told me everything. Firstly I'm real sorry Lindsey I know you've always wanted kids…"
"Yes well you don't always get what you want do you Pixie, dear." I forced a little laugh out. "Carry on."
"Yes well, I stayed up all last night thinking about what you said. About being a surrogate for you. And I've decided… I'll do it." A huge squeal hit me as Lindsey shot off the bed and grabbed me into a huge hug. She squeezed me tight and continued to laugh in delight. Max soon joined and the hug became cramped. I used both hands to push them off. "Okay, guys I'm getting really hugged out right now. You need to listen."
"Pixie, oh thank you so much!…"
"Listen!" They stopped but still had a mixture of emotions written all over their faces, like they were bursting to say something. "I have rules and if this is going to work you have to follow them." They nodded along like good children, I felt sick with anticipation. "Firstly, I'm going to have to talk to my boss about this…"
Lindsey started up again her mouth going at 100 mph. "Well, of course you're going to need time off, you can come stay with us! Oh that would be great, me and you Pixie we could go out shopping you could help me buy baby clothes…"
"Yeah, yeah, blah, blah. Stop for a second Lindsey please." She stopped, I smiled. "Secondly, I am not going to stop working, at all."
"But Pix, you cant be serious…" Max looked like he was going to faint. I stopped him.
"Okay, you guys need to understand what listening is. I'm going to talk to my boss tonight and tell him everything. I'm going to work through the pregnancy all the way until I'm a week away from the due date." I could see Lindsey bursting to say something but she didn't. At least she had a little self control. "I want this to run my way. I want you guys to go on with your lives normally, we can visit each other and stuff and doctor's appointments but I don't want this to change anything. Okay? Everything goes like normal." I waited for them to agree. "You guys can speak now."
"Oh right, well that sounds reasonable. Okay… oh Pixie I'm so happy!" It looked like she was going to hug me again but stopped. Thankfully.
"Okay, so you guys go ahead and book the appointment or whatever and let me know okay?"
"Oh it's tomorrow at 2." Lindsey smiled at me hopefully. I felt a small spurt of anger at her assumption that I'd say yes. Bitch. I sighed and headed for the door. "I'll meet you at your room!" I walked out closing the door behind me, where the shouting and screaming soon started.
An hour later found me staring into the eyes of my boss Vincent Kennedy McMahon. He scared the shit out of me. His power suits made me feel like it was in a headmasters office. I watched as he picked at a fruit plate he'd ordered from room service, shuffling through papers. I'd kind of wished I'd chosen my wardrobe more carefully now.
He carried on shuffling for a few minutes occasionally sighing or nodding his head. I waited till he finished. He looked at me from over his glasses and smiled. It was warm, it was strange. "Well, Miss Ryan, what can I do for you? I hope you're not looking for a pay rise." He laughed and it was one of those power laughs the one that said you shouldn't laugh along.
"No, I just came here for a chat. I wanted to ask you something."
"Well ask away." He sat up straighter, paying more attention to me.
"Um, you see the thing is, I got a call from my brother yesterday asking to see me. And well to cut a long story short he's asked me to be a surrogate for him and his wife." I waited for the explosion. For him to declare it was nonsense and to get back to work. It never came. A lot of things were happening lately that I didn't understand.
"I see and you wanted my permission?"
"Well, no not exactly. It's just I've agreed and I wanted to run a few things by you."
"You want time off?" He looked like he was about to burst a blood vessel just thinking about it.
"No, no! Not at all, the opposite. I'm going to work a week until the due date. Which will give me plenty of time to train an assistant. If you would allow me hire one." I watched as he sat and thought about it. I crossed my fingers in my lap so he couldn't see. There was silence for 5 minutes before he finally spoke.
"The way I see it, you've gotten yourself into an unusual situation. I suppose the best I could do for you is let you hire an assistant. Seeing as you've been such a hard worker over the years."
"Wow thank you so much. And when I've had the baby I'll only need a few days re-coup and I'll be back to work and while I'm away the new assistant will be trained enough to take over."
"Sounds reasonable to me." I thanked him and left as soon as possible thankful that it went well. Better then I'd expected actually. I took my phone out of my pocket and wrote an email to the guy who runs the WWE website to tell him to advertise for an assistant job. When I'd finished I started to make my way to the gym to see John, when I got there I could see him through the door, running on the treadmill.
I watched him for a moment and the kiss played out in my head. It made my stomach hurt. I couldn't face him not now. I turned and walked away heading for my room so I could drown my sorrows in a tub of ice cream.
The doctor's office felt cramped. I felt a little trapped sitting on the table in a gown waiting for the doctor to arrive. Max and Lindsey were pacing the room, going back and forth, back and forth every once in a while exchanging scared looks. I was beginning to get sick of it.
But I was to nervous to say anything. At least I wasn't the only scared on in the room. The door opened and in walked the doctor and cheerful look on her face. "Hello, I'm Dr Lee. How are we feeling today?" No-one said anything. Dr Lee smiled at us all. "It's okay to feel nervous. Let's get started shall we? I'm going to talk you through it so we know what's going on okay?"
I nodded not trusting my voice. But Lindsey did all the talking for me. "How long will this take?"
"Not long. I'll do it as quick as possible, it will be slightly uncomfortable but it shouldn't take too long."
"Okay, let's do this." The doctor looked at me, I smiled a little warily, now that I was here I felt like I'd made the wrong decision.
"Right, well Mr and Mrs Ryan if you'd like to step outside, I'd like a private work with our surrogate here." They look like they wanted to protest but didn't the left, Lindsey giving me a parting look which said I'd better not change my mind. "Miss Ryan, are you okay?"
"Please, call me Pixie."
"Well Pixie, are you feeling okay."
"Just a little nervous is all. I don't want anything bad to happen."
"It wont, you have nothing to fear it's not the first time I've done this procedure." She smiled at me and it did make me feel a little better.
"Okay, lets do it."
"Do you want me to call your brother and his wife back?"
"No, it's fine, let's get this over and done with." I laid back and placed my feet in the holders, wishing that I had John here to hold my hand. I felt Dr Lee starting. I didn't want to think about what she was doing. That there was a possibility that I could become pregnant in a few days time. I thought about John to distract myself. And how I'd kissed him.
Just thinking about it made my lips tingle, I'd wanted to kiss him for so long. I don't know what had made me do it, but I did and I was glad I had. "Not long now Pixie." I didn't say anything. Afraid that if I moved it wouldn't work. I sat and waited for it to finish and when it did, I felt no different.
"Okay, that's done Pixie, now it may take a few days but make sure you keep yourself relaxed and stress free and keep off your feet as much as possible."
"Thank you doctor." She left leaving me by myself. I took a deep breath and placed a delicate hand on my stomach. In a few days I'd know if I was pregnant and if I was it would take 9 months for me to know if I'd made a huge mistake.
