'Have to do this before I lose my nerve. He needs to know why I wasn't out there.' Amanda thought before she knocked on the door to Enzo's locker room… when it opened, Enzo stepped aside and let her in.
"Hey… where were you earlier?" Enzo asked.
"Had a lot to think about, Enzo…" Amanda responded, trailing off and Enzo getting her to sit down when he noticed that she was dizzy.
"Just take this one step at a time, kiddo." Enzo replied, lightly rubbing his left hand up and down Amanda's back.
"Enzo… I'm pregnant." Amanda explained, Enzo's expression turning to one mixed of shock and happiness… and being as careful as he could, he pulled Amanda into his arms.
"I really should've asked beforehand before running my mouth out there. I can tell that what I said about Maryse and Mike upset you and I'm sorry." Enzo replied before they let go.
"It's alright. Look, you fix what you need to, Zo. Because I know that something's bothering you and that's worrying me." Amanda responded before Enzo helped her stand up and they hugged. "And please don't tell anyone else about the baby just yet, okay?" She asked.
"You got it, Mandy." Enzo replied, kissing her on her forehead before they let go.
Corey slipped away from the door and down the hallway, seeing Amanda walk away in the opposite direction.
'Son of a bitch! Mandy's pregnant?!' Corey thought before he left, heading back to the commentary table.
In the locker room she shared with Finn and Yuki, Amanda walked in and her and Finn hugged and kissed before she stretched out on the couch while Yuki was on a video call with Baron.
"Why does Tiny look almost as pale as Paige?" Baron asked.
"That'll be revealed in its own time, Baron… until then, don't stress her out on screen or off." Yuki responded, Baron nodding before they ended their video call.
"You sure you're okay?" Finn asked, Amanda nodding.
It was the next morning that Amanda had gotten in touch with Paul Wight, better known as Big Show.
"You scared me, you know that?" Amanda responded, Paul knowing that she was scared because hurricane Irma had left him stranded and he had to temporarily postpone his hip surgery.
"I'm okay, kiddo. Surgery took a little longer than estimated at first but I'm recovering… why are your eyes red, have you been crying?" Paul replied.
"Just haven't been able to keep food down at times…" Amanda explained, Paul figuring it out.
"Bess was the same way the first time around… she lost a little weight at first and it scared me but everything turned out okay." Paul replied before the aforementioned woman walked into view.
"Hey Mandy. I know it's scary but don't worry, that little one is doing just fine. The vitamins are helping, right?" Bess responded.
"Yes and the doctor said everything is on track with the baby but… I don't know, I guess it is just the first time nerves and me wondering if I'm doing everything right health wise." Amanda replied before Finn sat down next to her and they kissed before he turned to the screen.
"Hey, young man? You keep a careful eye on her, okay? And why aren't you guys in Vegas for SmackDown yet?" Paul responded.
"Mandy wasn't feeling so great when we got back last night so we decided to rest up and then catch a later flight instead of the red eye one to Vegas that Yuki and the others were on." Finn explained.
"Good man. We're gonna let you get going then, be safe." Bess responded.
"We will. And when you see the kids, give them some hugs from us." Amanda replied.
"Gotcha, kiddo." Paul responded before the video call ended and Finn helped Amanda up to her feet before grabbing their things… Amanda was only holding her denim blue purse because it was lightweight and Finn had their duffel bags on his shoulders.
And he knew where her mind was and pulled her into his arms.
"Whatever it is between Enzo and Dianne, they'll work things out." Finn responded, Amanda having told him about her conversation with Enzo last night.
"I don't know whether he and Liv drifted apart or if he saw her as too young for him but he cheated on her… unless she was just saying that out of anger from the breakup." Amanda replied, not wanting to doubt Liv but she hadn't seen any proof that Enzo was unfaithful to the blonde.
It was in Vegas that Amanda, Finn and Yuki were on a video chat with Val.
"Well power went out right away and it might take a while for FPL to fix it so we're keeping the generators powered up enough to keep the electricity in the houses going strong. Yuki, don't worry, Pepper is safe with us." Val responded, Yuki breathing a relieved sigh.
"That's good, hope he's behaving." Yuki replied.
"Well he did chew up a pair of Ty's shoes but other than that, he's calm. And a few shutters were ripped off but we fixed them up." Val responded.
"I have really got to house train that dog. Last time, it was my converse high tops and Finn's crosstrainer shoes." Yuki explained.
"Better than when Josie nipped and growled at me because I was standing too close to Mandy. But in Josie's defense, she didn't know me too well then." Finn responded.
"And they're comparing this storm to how Andrew was." Val replied.
"The damage to the islands below Florida, yes but I still say that Andrew did more damage to South Florida 25 years ago." Amanda replied.
"It did… hey, how did the Performance Centre hold up?" Finn responded.
"Some of the NXT superstars hid out there… of course, Aleister brought along too much vodka so Liv, Ruby and a few others got completely hammered." Val explained, Yuki laughing.
"That's what they get when they drink too much. Good thing I'm not like that." Yuki said.
"I better go check in with Daniel, see how tonight's script is so far." Amanda responded before she and Finn kissed and she and Yuki hugged.
Amanda headed to the GM's office and absentmindedly adjusted her light blue striped off shoulder hem top before she raised her left hand to knock on the door… only for a hand to gently wrap around her wrist and her seeing the 6'8" tall Lone Wolf.
"From that look, you just got off the phone with Corey, didn't you?" Amanda responded as Baron let go, his black hair slicked back.
"I did. Are you alright?" Baron answered.
"Yeah… I'm okay. What did Jerkface have to say now?" Amanda responded, managing to hold back from throwing up again.
"That it's you that Enzo slept with." Baron answered, Amanda trying not to laugh.
"That's the best he came up with? What led Corey to jump to that conclusion?" Amanda responded.
"He overheard a conversation you had with Enzo." Baron explained.
"An innocent one, I was worried about Enzo because he wasn't acting like himself." Amanda replied before heading to the vending machine and Baron seeing her choose cranberry juice instead of coffee or soda.
'That's not like her…' Baron thought to himself.
"You went quiet for a bit." Amanda replied as she drank the juice, Baron snapping out of his thoughts.
"Just thinking to myself, Mandy." Baron responded, looking at Amanda.
Amanda nodded and Baron left, Amanda closing her eyes for a few seconds.
"That was close." Amanda whispered before she threw the bottle away and went into the office.
