A/N Hello readers!!! I know I said I'd update a lot over break but family has been here non stop but they're finally gone for a bit so I'm gonna try and write. Here with go with chapter 16!

Maria started to pack up her things. Once her dirty clothes were picked up from around the room, she went into the bathroom to pack up her toiletries. She was about to take one last look around the room when she heard a knock on the door. She walked to answer it.

"Maria!" John greeted her with a warm smile and a hug. She couldn't help but smile back. Maria never denied it, he was definitely cute, but she already knew that "I wanted to see if you need help bringing your bags up to our room." Maria noticed how he said "our" room like "our" relationship wasn't as complicated as it actually was.

"Yeah, sure. I was actually about to leave." Maria told him.

"Which ones can I take?" John asked he nodded his head toward her suitcases.

"Uhm, one sec. I just want to make sure I got everything." Maria walked into the bathroom quickly and looked around. She walked back out and looked around again. On her bed was an HBK Teddy Bear that Shawn gave her. She placed it in her suitcase and zipped it up. "This one and that one over there." Maria pointed to a large suitcase and a smaller one on a chair. John grabbed them without a problem.

"Anything else?"

"Nope." Maria answered grabbing a third bag and her purse. "Let's go." They walked out and continued toward the elevator.

"So where's Shawn?" John smoothly" asked wondering where his competition was.

"He had plans with Paul. I think DX might reunite."
"Oh… again?" John asked, not caring.
"Be nice." Maria nudged him.

He smiled at her. The elevator arrived and the two stepped inside.

"Do you know if we have any segments this week?" Maria asked.

"We have one before my match at the pay-per-view. Then you kiss me after I win my match. Then on Raw we have another segment but I'm not sure what it is." John smiled slightly thanking God for this storyline.

"Alright." Maria answered nervously. Floor nine dinged and the doors slid open. They walked down the hall to room 943 and opened. About 10 minutes later John and Maria were all settled in.

"What do you plan on doing today?" John asked Maria.

"I was thinking of asking Trish over to watch a movie."
"Oh…"

"Why?"

"I was thinking we could catch up. I miss you, Maria. But it's okay. Invite her over."

Maria got out her cell phone and pressed speed dial 3. Trish picked up on the third ring.

"Hey girl" Trish answered.

"Hey. What are you doing later tonight?" Maria asked.

"David's taking me out for pizza. How 'bout you?"

"Oh, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with a movie."
"Oh sure! Me and Davey will bring the pizza. You can pick the movie."

"Trish, you know I hate it when you call me Davey."
"Was that him?"
"Yeah. Oh! See if Shawn's in, too."
"Actually I just moved in with John, so—yeah."

"Oh yeah, I heard Shawn talking to Davey about it. How is it, eh?"

"Well the past fifteen minutes have been fine. I'm just afraid it's gonna get awkward." Maria said, her voice going to down to a whisper as she stared at the bathroom door where John had retreated for the time being. She averted her gaze when the handle turned and he walked out.

"Alright, we'll be there at 6. Pick good movies. Please!"

"Then you bring lots and lots of pizza! I'm eating for two, ya know!

Trish laughed before answering, "Will do!"

"Alright. See ya soon!"
"Bye, hun."

Maria closed her phone. She went into the bathroom and closed the door. She lifted up her shirt and turned sideways. Her stomach was only slightly distended; you couldn't really tell she was pregnant. She looked down when she felt a kick. Maria smiled, content, as she put her shirt back down and walked out of the bathroom to see John sprawled across the couch, his arms spread across the back of the couch and his feet resting on the coffee table. He was flipping through the channels when Maria sat down on the other side of the couch.

"What time is Shawn coming?" John asked.
"He's not." Maria answered nonchalantly.

"Well, then." John said as he slid across the couch and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

Maria smiled up at him while saying. "John, not like that. You said you wanted to hang out and we can't exactly do that if Shawn's here."

"Oh." John's smile faded but his arm stayed securely around Maria. She nuzzled into his side as John chose Family Guy and settled in to watch.

Maria looked at John. She watched his face. His forehead was relaxed, and his gorgeous eyes had a certain twinkle. His cheekbones were so defined and led right to his squared jaw. She noticed he was smiling and how deep his dimples were. Her eyes moved to his lips and suddenly she wanted to kiss them. She deviated her attention to his ears; they were kinda goofy looking which made her smile. Then she realized that the hair on the sides of his head was growing back and she realized that she liked it that way.

"You should take a picture," John startled her. "It'll last longer." Maria giggled when she heard his statement.

"Nah, I don't need to."

"Why is that?" John asked with a smirk.
"Cause I can just look at you whenever I want to." Maria giggled to herself.

"I may have to start charging then." John commented under his breath. Maria cuddled in to him more with a smile on her face.

After about a hour of television watching, Maria jolted upward with a now very familiar feeling in her stomach. She rushed to the bathroom. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw John following swiftly on her trail. She flung the toilet seat back and swiftly stuck her head in the opening. Her throat burned as the vomit surged up her esophagus. Her stomach churned as her shoulders cringed. She felt a hand on her back and one on her forehead which promptly swiped her bangs out of her face. She cringed again as more bile forced itself up and out. When she was finished she looked up at John. His eyes were filled worry and concern.

"Are you alright, Ri?" Maria's head was filled back with memories of their past relationship. John used to call her Ri, Ria, and Ri-Ri. She smiled slightly, as she missed him calling her the pet names.

"Yeah, just morning sickness." Maria told him. " Although I don't know why they call it morning sickness when it happens all day."
"Are you hungry?"

"Yeah! Really hungry actually."

"Then let's go!" John helped Maria up and she washed her mouth out while John went to turn off the television. Maria put on her boots and John his sneakers and the pair left the room and went to the buffet in the hotel.

They both grabbed a plateful of food and sat down.
"You've got a weird appetite." John commented. Maria assessed her plate. There was a cheeseburger with marinara sauce overflowing from the insides, cooked eggplant, tapioca pudding, green beans, cantaloupe, and French fries accompanied with a diet Pepsi.

"I guess so. This is what I'm hungry for." Maria shrugged her shoulders. She looked at John's plate: cheeseburger everything on top of a mountain of French fries next to a Mountain Dew. 'Figures,' she thought as she rolled her eyes.

They finished their meal and headed back up to their room.

In the elevator, John kept trying to hold her hand. He grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers. Maria loosened her grip and swung her hand away. John grabbed it again and held it firmly. She laughed and gave up. The doors slid open and the two walked to their room hand in hand.

When they got back to the room Maria sat on the couch, expecting John to join her. She heard a zipper and turned around to see John shirtless. He searched in his suitcase and pulled out a muscle shirt and mesh shorts. Maria just stared as he was taking off his shorts and she felt her jaw slightly drop. John had been working out. Maybe it was that fact that John had gotten more fit or maybe it was the fact that Maria hadn't seen John half nude in person for over two months. Maybe. Or maybe John was just that damn hot.

He was a Greek god and her eyes were worshiping him. He put clothing back on and Maria unknowingly let out a grunt of disappointment. John looked up and a cocky grin spread across his face.

"What on earth are you going to do for a couple hours when I'm gone?" John asked rhetorically.

"Where are you going?" Maria asked confused.

"To the gym. I gotta work off that cheeseburger."
"Oh, okay."

"Don't be too sad, okay. I'll be back." John jokingly reassured her. He walked over and kissed her temple. She couldn't help but smile in response.

"Catch ya later, sweet cheeks!" John yelled before shutting the door behind him.
