9/3/95…

"Owww! Johnny!" 5 year old Amanda cried, John and Hiroki running in and John picking a sobbing Amanda up into his arms as Hiroki held Yukie back.

"What happened, Mandy?" John asked gently after tying a towel around Amanda's injured hand.

"I gently took the scissors away because you said we're not supposed to play with them… and she bit me!" Amanda responded through her sobs as John lightly rubbed Amanda's back.

"Thief! Mine! Thief!" Yukie managed to say in English.

"Yukie, that's not nice, Mandy was trying to keep you from getting hurt." Hiroki replied as best as he could in English.

"Mine, bubba!" Yukie managed to say, hugging him tightly while crying.

"Can you call my mom, please?" Hiroki asked, John nodding before he dialed Sumire's number and asking if she could come over to the house and that he needed to explain it in person.

Sumire agreed before they hung up, concerned after hearing both girls crying in the background.

"Mrs. Shirabuki… there's been a bit of a fight and Yukie bit Amanda." John explained after Sumire got there, Sumire turning shocked.

"Where are they?" Sumire questioned.

"Mama!" Yukie cried, before jumping into her arms. "Friend mean…" She managed to say, while hugging her.

"No, sweetie, Mandy was just trying to help." Sumire responded gently.

"I've gotta get Mandy to the ER, she's bleeding pretty bad." John explained.

"Okay, be careful. I'll take the kids home. Say bye to Mandy and John, Yukie." Sumire explained.

Yukie only waved without even showing her crying face.

"I think it's best if they have a few days of space." John suggested, holding Amanda close to him. "I know, kiddo, that hurt." He responded before they left…

Present time, 9/24/18…

"I don't know if you've been beaten up by Ronda too much but that was uncalled for!" Liv yelled after punching Alexa.

"She deserved it after stealing my title twice last year! Besides, Ronda is the least of my worries." Alexa explained.

"Keeping your job should be your main worry! They fired Big Cass for his behavior, they'll do that to you if you don't stop acting like a bitch!" Liv responded angrily.

"Maybe they should fire Mandy!" Alexa retorted.

"Why would they?! Mandy didn't do anything wrong!" Liv shouted after pulling hard on Alexa's hair, Alexa screaming in pain until Liv let go. "You better straighten up or you can consider your career a bust!" She growled before she left.

She found Amanda, Finn and Baron at the ER, Amanda explaining it to Baron.

"I hope Bliss is fired after that. They're putting the show on hold until Yukie can talk." Amanda responded.

"You think that show will hold out on her? She was one of the three who auditioned for the heroine. If she can't talk, Yukie lost her chance." Baron explained.

"It's that bad?" Liv asked after walking over.

"Alexa used too much force." Baron responded as Amanda checked on Yukie, who looked at her.

And then grabbed a notepad and pen and uncapped the pen before writing something down and showing it to Amanda.

"Get out!"

"Yukie, I just wanted to check on you." Amanda explained.

"Why the hell would you check on me?!" Yukie wrote.

"Because we're all getting worried." Amanda responded.

"Well, thanks to Bitchy Bliss, I lost my damn voice acting job. Baron skyped them, and they got angry and hung up, saying I lost it for good." Yukie wrote.

"It wasn't your fault." Amanda replied.

"No, it's yours, she was aiming for you!" Yukie wrote angrily.

"Who knows why she acts like she does, she's a crazy bitch!" Amanda responded.

"Thanks for agreeing for me for once in your damn life!" Yukie wrote.

"Yeah, Finn and I get it, you hate our kid because you never got to hold yours!" Amanda muttered, startling Yukie.

"That's a damn lie!" Yukie wrote angrily.

"No, it wasn't that hard to figure out with how you've acted." Amanda responded.

"You have any proof? You and jerk bastard husband will never find any!" Yukie wrote.

Amanda set something down and left, Yukie picking it up and seeing it was her old ultrasound picture from late 2008.

'My little boy… Mommy is so sorry.' Yukie thought as Baron walked in.

"Mandy left in tears, Finn took her on back to the hotel." Baron explained, as Yukie hid the picture behind her back.

Yukie only nodded, while looking at him before writing once more.

"Okay then, since I'm stuck here."

At the hotel later, Amanda and Finn were sleeping when they heard a knock and Finn got up to turn the lights on and answer the door… and let Seth in as Amanda's eyes opened.

"I wasn't expecting that to happen to Yukie." Seth responded.

"Neither were we… but Liv spoke up earlier and said that Bliss was after Mandy." Finn explained after closing the door.

"Was that her or all Yukie?" Seth questioned.

"Bliss doesn't want me around there. But yeah, we did confirm our suspicions." Amanda responded before she showed Seth an ultrasound picture from late 2008.

"Who's baby is this?" Seth questioned.

"Yukie's… I'm guessing the baby would've been born in December of 2008 since this was in September and Yukie was at the 6 month mark on the 23rd." Amanda explained before Seth set the picture aside.

"No wonder she never told you. She was still suffering her loss, but she doesn't show it." Seth responded.

"No one would…" Amanda replied, her right hand resting on her stomach. "But like you said earlier, she doesn't need to stress me out so badly." She responded before they hugged for a few seconds and Seth kissed her on her forehead.

"You need to do what's best for you, Finn and the baby, Mandy. Forget about her, she wasn't even a trusting or good friend to begin with." Seth explained.

"She can't talk." Amanda responded.

"Bliss strangled her so badly. And honestly, I hope Bliss is fired after that." Finn replied.

"She deserved it." Seth responded.

"I've been choked before so I can say no one deserves that!" Amanda replied, Seth calming down.

"Sorry, just not thinking straight." Seth responded.

"Safe to say no one is with that blonde and pink haired terror around." Finn replied.

It was early the next morning that they were ready for the day and walked into the hotel lobby… and heard arguing between Alexa and Murphy.

"How would that have helped anything, trying to strangle a pregnant woman?! We're done!" Murphy responded angrily, Alexa taking her engagement ring off and shoving it at him.

"I wasn't even trying to hurt her!" Alexa replied angrily, before storming off.

Finn got Amanda to sit down as Hiroki walked into the hotel, a bruise on his face.

"Good thing you guys didn't stay there last night." Hiroki responded after walking over and sitting down.

"Aw, damn, that's right. We were talking about the baby shower back on Saturday and when to hold it." Amanda replied once she remembered.

"Do you guys know what are you having? I can't be the only one bringing yellow and white for the baby." Hiroki questioned.

"We won't know until next month's checkup… little one kept turning away from the ultrasound machine." Finn explained as he lightly rubbed Amanda's stomach.

"One more thing… do you want Yukie to be at the baby shower?" Hiroki questioned.

"I left an invite for her last night before we left." Finn responded.

Yukie, after waking up, noticed the small envelope and picked it up before she opened it… and retrieved the invitation, opening it.

"Baby shower for Baby Balor, 10/21/18 at 2pm."

Yukie only tossed it, as it hit Baron's forehead which woke him up.

"Hey!" Baron exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Yukie wrote down quickly.

Baron picked up the invitation and looked at it before he looked to Yukie.

"Don't ask!" Yukie wrote.

"Aren't you even going? At least be there for her, Yukie." Baron responded.

"I'll think about it." Yukie wrote.

Baron nodded, hoping it was a good start.
