I Am Either Nexus…or Against Him?

Hmm… I got nothing; so enjoy!

Chapter Nine: The Urge to Squeal

I left the room quickly to get away from the madness that's been haunting me. Maybe Ted was right, maybe I do need the time out with some of the others to get my head straight. As I step out the door and find my way to the elevator, I bump into a particular A-Lister. He smiles lightly toward me as I walk through the doors and press the main floor button.

"Haven't seen you in a while," David says, striking up conversation between us.

"Ah, you know how the schedule is, A-List," I joke with a slight chuckle to my tone.

He laughs. "Yeah, yeah," he sets his hands into his pockets. "Bennett's been in a good mood lately, I'm guessing you two have been working things out,"

Uh, sure...? I really, really do not want to get into this but at the same time, I feel like I need someone to talk to. "We have been talking and such,"

The awkwardness slowly began to disappear as I became comfortable with the situation I am putting myself in.

"It's good to hear that; Stu's been looking a lot calmer, I think he's been talking to Cena," Ah, John Cena, you just have a way with making people feel so much better about themselves, don't you?

I chuckle. "Yeah, he's just got that charm on people," I reply. The elevator moves swiftly down to the main floor. I have the sudden urge to just burst out and say it, I need to tell someone, maybe if I can get it off my chest to someone else, it will make telling Stu so much easier.

"...Stu's probably just a little nervous about the baby," I lay down the words so smooth and clear, no stumbles in my words or any stutters; getting the hang of this 'acting' thing may be in my favor. "Cena's a good motivator when it comes to..." I hesitate. "Surprises,"

I gave Otunga the moment to gather my words. "Baby?"He ponders for a moment. "Wait, you're pregnant?" he asks, his brown eyes connecting with mine.

I nod with an excited giggle, it was the reaction I was dying to hear from Stu and I got it from Otunga. "I'm pregnant," I give him that smile I will, hopefully, give my fiancé.

"That's amazing!" David says. "Children are wonderful, they're definitely blessings," he comments.

I really hope you're right, David; at least, I'm hoping this one is a big enough blessing to bring us together.

He lightly embraces me in a hug and I accept it; this was a side of David Otunga I have never seen before, and oddly enough, I am thrilled that someone aside from Clarissa and Ted are happy for me.

"Hey, listen, I have to get over to the arena to get some stuff done before tonight's house show but if you hear from Stu just let him know where I'll be," I say, slowly pulling apart from him, just as the elevator doors ding and push open.

"No problem," he smiles, flashing his gorgeous white teeth. "I'll see you tonight,"

O===O

I figure if I kept myself busy with my job, it would clear my head and give me some time to go over what I really want to say to Stu once the time was appropriate. I had been going through some of the scripts, just out of boredom; I really have nothing better to do, I just wanted something to occupy time. After I was done with that, I looked over the match list; Stu is going to be fighting, so there was a high chance I will be able to approach him on the subject; before or after the show.

I could feel my nerves slightly raise, even after all the play-by-plays I went over in my head, things still made me uneasy.

Clarissa had called me about twenty minutes early, letting me know she had an outfit in my room, this time it wouldn't be as snug as the one before; Thank God, don't want to suffocate this poor kid, let alone myself.

As I walk down the corridor to my room, still with my phone in hand, Clarissa spoke. "Still haven't heard a word from Stu?" she asks. "I saw him earlier; he's probably getting ready, you should see him before the show,"

"Yeah, I'll tell –" I open the door to my dressing room and in mid-speech, I stop myself, my eyes staring in shock to the figure in my room. Stu turns, all dressed in his ring gear equipped with a Nexus t-shirt. "Clarissa," I pause slightly. "I have to go..." I hung up my phone, not accepting any answer from her beforehand.

His eyes stare sternly to mine as he spoke with a tone that was less than satisfied. "You're pregnant?"

You hate me, I know :D

Peace out! (:
