Chapter 11

Maria sat on the couch in Shawn's locker room watching RAW. It was a week after the Halloween contest and one week after she cheated on Shawn. Shawn's match was on but she just couldn't concentrate. John's offer was on her mind. She loved Shawn, she really did, but John she always loved and he was the father of her child. Of course he still didn't know that…

Choosing would be one of the biggest decisions she's ever made. She knew that whoever she chose, the other wouldn't want her if she changed her mind. Maria had to think long and hard and her storyline with John wouldn't be a big help; it just makes Shawn jealous and with it getting more and more deep Shawn couldn't help but to suspect her cheating. Shawn still didn't know about what happened between her and John after their segment on Halloween. Maria didn't know what Shawn would do if he found out. She was guessing that Shawn would do something to John that would result in him having a broken bone and she was sure she didn't want that.

Maria returned to attention to the match on the television. Shawn had just preformed the elbow drop and was 'tuning up the band' for Sweet Chin Music. He hit it right to Chris Jericho's jaw and he fell to the ground. Shawn went for the cover 1.2.3. Shawn won. A smile appeared on Maria's face. She jumped up in excitement, but then a very unfamiliar feeling swept through her body. She sat back down, much more conscious of the baby in her stomach. She sat bewildered as she unconsciously put a hand on her stomach and started rubbing it.

The baby made her think of John. She needed to tell him about her—no their—baby. She could just say that it was Shawn's and let Shawn make her happy. But what if the baby came out and it looked exactly like John. John's eyes were so deep and blue, his dimples so defined and lovable, if the baby had either John's eyes or his dimples, people could tell he wasn't Shawn's. She couldn't know what the baby would look like until it came so she couldn't take that chance. There was no way that she could see to not tell John. Plus, who was she to take away his baby. He never seemed like the type who would want kids. What if he kicked her to the curb and left her to support the baby. Shawn said he would be there but if she picked John, would Shawn still be there?

Maria was in such a trans that she hadn't noticed Shawn return for his match. He was lightly shaking her and trying to get her attention. She finally snapped out and quickly tried to cover up by congratulating Shawn on his match.

"Congratulations Shawn!" Maria said getting up again but not as quickly. She pulled Shawn up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks, hun" Shawn said leaning in for a kiss on the lips. The two of them started to get into it just as Maria stopped them.

"Shawn, why don't you shower before we do this?" Maria suggested.

"Sure, do I smell?" Shawn asked.

"Well, not exact—yeah a lot." Maria answered truthfully before giggling and shyly looking down.

"Well, I will." Shawn told her with a smile. "Why don't you go down to catering, I'll meet you there?"

"Alright. I am kinda hungry." Maria said with a smile matching Shawn's. He gave her another kiss on the cheek and grabbed his towel before heading into the shower. Maria left the locker room and practically skipped down to catering. She had a giant smile on as she grabbed a plateful of food and sat at an empty table. She quickly dug into her food and was enjoying it more than normal. She saw John enter the room and she called him over with a big smile.

"Hey, Maria!" John said matching her smile as he sat down next to her. He looked at her big plate of food before commenting, "Hungry?"

"Yeah, I've been…er, really hungry these days." Maria answered, her smile slightly fading. She couldn't keep John from his child. She still loved him and couldn't put him through that much pain. Shawn wanted her to tell him right?

"So what's up?" John asked with his smile still spread on his face.

"Hmm, nothing much. Shawn won his match! Did ya watch it?" Maria asked. Keeping Shawn on her mind would help her keep her focus and keep her mind off what happened a week ago.

"Oh, he did? I was warming up for mine." John answered. Maria noticed that his smile shrunk slightly.

"Yeah. How did your match go?" Maria asked.

"Good I won and thankfully creative's gonna let me become champ again." John answered, his smile stretching even wider than before.

"You're gonna be Champ again?! That's awesome!"

"Yeah, I'm so excited. It's gonna be at Armageddon. Against Orton. God I hate him." John said, spitting at the Legend Killer's name. Maria smiled in response.

"What's got you all happy?" John asked, lighting up at her smile.

"I don't really know." Maria answered truthfully.

"You're, like, glowing." John commented. Maria's smile wiped off her face. The pregnancy glow… She thought. Oh, God, I'm gonna have to tell him.

"Maria, what's wrong?" John asked. He didn't want to put her in a bad mood. He thought through what he'd said. I don't think I said anything wrong, right? John asked himself.

"Maria, are you ok?" He asked when he saw tears start to form in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Maria replied before sniffling.

"You don't seem fine. What's wrong? Was it something I said? I don't want to hurt you." John told Maria.

"John, you didn't do anything. But we need to talk." Maria told him.

"Sure, Maria, what do you want to talk about?" John asked trying to figure out what was wrong. Just then Trish walked in. Maria grabbed John's wrist and pulled him to the door.

"Maria? Are you alright?" Trish asked when she saw her friend crying.

"Yeah just tell Shawn I went to the diva's locker room if he needs to find me. I'd told him that I'd meet him here." Maria said.

Trish leaned in to whisper in Maria's ear. "Are you gonna tell John that you're pregnant?" Trish leaned back to see Maria's answer. Trish's look turned to pity as she saw Maria shake her head yes. Trish looked at John with wide eyes as she answered, "I'll tell Shawn where you are." Maria walked out of the room, still holding John's wrist.

"Maria, what's going on?" John asked confused. Then he whispered, "Do you have an answer to my offer?" Maria started to sob harder in response. She slowed her pace as she turned the last corner to the Diva's locker room. She stopped in front of the door and said to John, "Wait here." John couldn't answer before Maria slipped through the door.

30 seconds later Maria and all of the diva's that were in the locker room left. Maria grabbed John by his wrist again and pulled him into the Diva's locker room. John followed Maria without a word and sat down on the bench.

"Did you choose Shawn over me?" John asked jumping to conclusions.

"No." Maria answered. A smile spread across John's face as he leaned in to kiss her. Maria backed away before his lips touched hers.

"I thought you picked me." John said confused.

"I didn't." Maria answered.

"But… but you just said you didn't pick Shawn… I don't understand." John was very confused. He had no idea what Maria was trying to tell him.

"John, I haven't chosen yet." Maria told him.

"Then what is it? Why are you crying? Is something wrong? Did Mickie do something again?" John asked.

"Well, Mickie threatened this as blackmail, but that isn't why I'm telling you. You deserve to know. I just can't keep this from you." Maria looked down while trying to think of how to tell him that she was pregnant.

"Well, what is it? What's wrong?" John asked.

"Nothing's wrong. It's just that… I'm—"

"You're what? Maria, just tell me. You can tell me anything."

"John, I'm pregnant." Maria said, still looking down.

"Maria… I… I don't know what to say." John told her as he stood up and started pacing.

"Say that you couldn't be happier. Say that you want me to keep it. Say that you aren't mad at me for letting this happen."

"I don't think I can do that. I can't believe that you're telling me this! I can't believe that you want me to be happy for you! I love you Maria and you want me to just let you sit and watch while you start a family without—"

"What are you talking about John?" Maria asked puzzled.

"You're having his baby and you want me to just let you go through without a chance. Well, I'm not going to do that. You are the love of my life and there is no way that I'm giving you up because you're pregnant with his baby!" John retorted.

"John, Shawn's not the father." Maria whispered.

"Then who the fuck is?!" John questioned screaming. Maria fell to her knees crying. John's expression softened. "Maria, aw man, don't cry, hun. God, I'm so stupid. I just yelled at a pregnant woman. What is wrong with me? I am such an—"

"John, don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault—well, it kinda is. Shawn's not the father."

"Yeah, I got that far, but who is?" John asked. He wanted to know whose ass he was beating. Maria started to cry harder as she buried her head in the crook of his neck. He rocked her back and forth and held her until her crying slowed. "You don't know, do you?" John asked.

"I do know. That's the problem."

"Then who is it, baby girl?" He asked, dying to know. Maria slowly shook out of John's grasp. She took his face in her hands and said with as much clarity that she could use at that point, "You."

And then John fainted.
