A/N: In the next chapter or two, the sex of Ted and Kourtney's baby will be revealed. Should they have a boy or girl? Please help me decide! Hope you guys enjoy the new update!
That night, Kourtney had a lot on her mind as she lay in bed with Ted. The same thoughts kept brewing in her head as she felt her boyfriend's fingers lightly run up and down her bare arm.
"Ted?"
"Hmmm?" he asked. As Kourtney looked up toward him, she realized he was starting to fall asleep.
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well…you know how the last couple of weeks I've stayed at the hotel while you've gone to the arena?" she asked as Ted nodded. "I was thinking that even though I'm not cleared to go back to work just yet that I would go to the arena with you."
Ted sat up a little straighter, Kourtney following suit. "You want to come with me? Are you sure because remember your not supposed to have any kind of stress."
"I know that, but believe me I am feeling a lot better. I go back to work in another week and I miss my friends. I miss hanging out with everyone."
"What about John?"
Kourtney sighed as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "I can't hide from him forever. I'm sure the word is around that we are official now, and he isn't the type to try anything…or at least I don't think he is."
"I just don't want anything to happen to you or the baby," Ted admitted as he kissed her forehead.
They re-focused eye contact and Kourtney softly smiled. "Teddy, nothing is going to happen to me. I've been feeling good since my release from the hospital, and there hasn't been any spotting or bleeding since. If it makes you feel better, I can stay in your locker room and just relax on the couches that will be in there."
As Ted kissed the top of Kourtney's head, he could see the pleading in her eyes. He could really tell it meant a lot to her, and ultimately nodded. "Alright baby. If it means that much to you, I'm not going to stop you from coming to the arena with me."
A big smile grew across Kourtney's face. "Thank you!"
"Your welcome," he said as they quickly kissed. "But remember I want you taking it easy as much as possible!"
Kourtney playfully rolled her eyes at Ted's over protectiveness. But, she didn't mind. He was showing how much he actually cared about her and their baby, and honestly didn't know that if she did stay with John if he would react in the same manner.
Monday afternoon came a few days later, and Ted and Kourtney weren't even in the arena for five minutes before friends and other co-workers were welcoming her back.
"Long time no see," Randy Orton said as he hugged his friend. "How are you feeling?"
"Pretty good, and the morning sickness has pretty much passed."
After talking a few minutes to Randy, Ted and Kourtney continued looking for his locker room. As they rounded a corner, both instantly noticed balloons taped to the door.
"Ted, you didn't have to do this," she gushed.
He chuckled. "Ummm…I didn't baby."
Kourtney scrunched her eyebrows as she opened the door, but instantly smiled when she saw friends on the other side. Eve, Barbie, Maryse and Jenny, another make up artist, were all standing there with more balloons in hand.
"Welcome back!" they squealed.
"You guys didn't have to do this!" Kourtney exclaimed as she hugged each of her friends.
"But we wanted to," Eve exclaimed.
"Yeah, we missed you around here," Maryse said.
The girls continued talking as Ted stood a bit behind them, just laughing from their gossiping. Everyone instantly forgot he also was in the room.
"Hey baby," he called. "I have a meeting with Steph real quick. I'll come find you later."
Kourtney turned toward Ted's voice and nodded, smiling brightly. "Ok. I'll see you soon."
Ted only chuckled as he walked out of the room and into the hall. Not even five minutes later, John and the Miz were walking down the hall and both men noticed the balloons on the locker room door.
"Dude, what does DiBiase have balloons on his door for?" Miz asked.
John had a feeling but didn't want to admit it. Instead he simply shrugged. "I don't know man," he said as they walked on.
Within minutes, John walked into the locker room he shared with Miz, Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston, and was thankful no one else was in there. He simply sighed in frustration as he plopped down on the only couch in the room.
Immediately after Kourtney caught him, he ended things with Melina. Even though she tried to call him numerous times and he was close to giving in, John told her to stay away. It was at that particular moment he realized what he had been doing to Kourtney. She also told him to stay away and kept repeating they were done, but didn't want to believe her-just like Melina now with him.
John threw his head back against the couch, closing his eyes. Kourtney was right, he didn't realize what a good thing he had until it was gone. He should never have put his career before his girlfriend. He should never have gone to some of those signings and promotions…leaving Kourtney alone at night. It should have been him expecting a baby with her right now instead of Ted. He had accepted a long time ago that he and Kourtney were really done for good. Now with the possibility of her being back, he just had to tell his heart the same thing.
Just then, he heard the locker room door shut and as he slightly opened his eyes, John watched as Miz and Kofi both walked past him.
"What's up with you?" Kofi asked.
"Yeah, it's like your moping around today or something," Miz added.
John simply shrugged as he sat up straighter and then stood up. "I'm tired I guess. I think I'm going to walk around and get some fresh air before the show starts. I will catch you guys later," he said as he walked out the door.
Miz and Kofi gave each other questioning looks. "Boy, it's a good thing he doesn't know that Kourtney is here," Kofi said. "It's obvious he is still hung up on her."
Neither one realized that John was about to fully close the door when he heard Kofi mention Kourtney's name and that she was back. Smirking, he headed off in the direction of the EXIT to get some fresh air.
Meanwhile, Ted had been back from his meeting for a bit and as he began to get his ring gear on, he heard giggling from behind him. "What's so funny?" he asked, turning to face his girlfriend.
"Nothing I promise," she said as she got up from the couch and walking over toward the bench Ted sat on. "So who are you facing tonight?" she asked, starting a neck and shoulder massage.
"Sheamus," Ted answered. "Damn that feels good. I think you should do massages full time."
"Nah, I would rather stick to make up," Kourtney said. "But…will you please be careful tonight. I have heard how hard Sheamus is in the ring."
"I will, I promise," Ted said, taking grab of his girlfriend's hands and looping them around his neck.
Just then there was a knock on the door. "Five minutes Ted," a stage hand called.
"Ok, thanks," he replied as Kourtney broke the embrace. He then turned around and wrapped his arms around Kourtney's waist. "Are you going to hang out in here?"
"Yeah I think I will just hang out on the couch while your out there," she replied as she quickly kissed him. "Good luck."
"Thank you baby," Ted replied as they kissed again. He then winked at her before walking out of the door.
Once the door was shut, Kourtney made sure Raw was on the small tv in the room. She grabbed her bottle of water, got settled on the couch and couldn't help but giggle when his entrance music began to play. As soon as the bell dinged for the match to start, there was another small knock on the door.
Kourtney groaned out loud. She thought about ignoring it because it was probably someone looking for Ted, but in the end decided to see who it was. As soon as she opened the door she didn't know if it had been a good idea.
"J-John?" she stuttered. "What are you doing here?"
"I, ummm…heard you were back and I wanted to know if it would be possible to talk-just for a second."
"I'm not really supposed to have stress or be in stressful situations."
John held up his hands in defense. "I promise it's nothing like that. I come in peace."
Kourtney thought for a second and could tell in his eyes that he was being genuine. So instead of inviting him into Ted's locker room, she stepped outside into the hallway. "Ok, I'm out here and you wanted to talk. What's up?"
