Chapter 14: A Meeting and an Encounter

Maria was at the arena with Shawn. Watching him practice the Sweet Chin Music.

"Good job, Shawn. That one almost didn't suck." Maria congratulated her boyfriend.

"Oh thanks." Shawn said dejectedly.

"I'm only kidding, you big baby." Maria consoled him.

"So it did suck?" Shawn asked scared.

"No, it didn't. It was really decent." Maria put an arm around him.

Just then Maria's phone rang.

"Hello?" Maria answered.

"Ms. Kanellis, it's Vince."

"Oh, hi Mr. McMahon." Maria responded a little bit scared.

"I need you to meet me in my office immediately."

"Alright, sir, I'll be there in five minutes."

"See you soon, Ms. Kanellis." Vince said before hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Shawn asked.

"Vince, I got to go, hun." Maria said before kissing her boyfriend on the cheek. He grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "Oh wait." Shawn said before going near the steps. He widened the ropes for her.

"Why thank you. I guess Chivalry isn't dead." Maria said before kissing Shawn on the cheek.

Maria was walking to Vince's office when she bumped into John.

"Oh, hey John." Maria said after she stepped back.

"Hey, Maria. Did you talk to Vince yet?" John asked.

"No I'm on my way now actually. I've got to go." Maria told him in a hurry.

"Well, maybe we could meet up later." John suggested.

"Maybe." Maria smiled. She almost forgot about John and his proposition. How could she?

"I have to go but I'll talk to you later."

"Alright."

"See ya." Maria said before darting off in the direction of Vince's office. Before she knew it, she was standing in front of his door.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Come in, ah, Ms. Kanellis." Vince recognized as Maria walked in the door.

"What did you want to talk about, Vince?" Maria asked, curious as she went to sit in the armchair in front of the Chairman's desk.

"It's about your storyline with Mr. Cena." Vince started. "I was thinking of taking it—"

"Off? I completely agree. I think it's going nowhere."

"Well, I was going to say further. Why do you want it off?" Vince asked curiously.

"It's just… well, I'm with Shawn and I know I should have told you before but I'm pregnant. And it's John's baby and I really love Shawn but I'm afraid that—"

"You'll fall in love with John again as he helps you with your pregnancy. Then you're going to hurt Shawn when you leave him for John." Vince interrupted.

"Uhm- no. I was going to say that John and our storyline will get in the way of my relationship with Shawn. How'd you know I was pregnant?" Maria was very confused.

"Uh… you just told me." Vince made up an excuse.

"Okay… Well I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

"It's alright Maria. But as a diva I need to know your condition and if something like this were to happen again, I would need to know right away."
"Are you saying something like this would happen again to me?" Maria asked offended.

"No, no. I just meant like an injury or—"

"Are you calling me a slut?" Maria interrupted Vince.

"Of course not, Maria. I just meant that—"

"I'm 29 years old and pregnant with my ex-boyfriend's baby and I can't do the job I love because of it. And now my boss is calling me a slut! I can't take this." Maria said bursting into tears.

Vince was confused out of his mind. "Maria I didn't call you a slut."

"Yes you did." Maria said whining through her tears.

"Maria I meant something very serious like this where if you wrestle, your health is in danger. I need to know these things."

"Oh." Maria said wiping the tears from her face.

"Maria, your storyline with John can be a major stable storyline and we need this to work. I'm sorry but you're going to need to put your personal life aside. We can have you interview with bust shots or maybe we can have you announce or—"

"Or we can make a maternity line for the WWE shop and I could design the clothes for it!" Maria exclaimed at her new idea, her short-lived tears far behind.

"That… could work. We could have you as the model after we bring out your pregnancy."
"Whoa! Uh, I didn't really want everyone to know I'm pregnant. Couldn't we have someone like attack me and I go out for a precarious nine months on injury?"
"Maria, we need this storyline to work. Also, you two will need to room together starting tomorrow. I'm sorry but it needs to be done." Maria sat there stunned. She couldn't believe it. She stood up to leave before Vince had called her name.

"Yes?"
"Be nice to John. I know what he's going through. Heck I'm a grandfather. This is his baby too. And though you may not notice it, he's scared out of his mind."

Maria nodded before leaving.

"I don't know how I'll break it to Shawn." Maria thought as she turned around. She was shocked to say the least when she saw Candice Michelle waiting for her.
