No One's POV
It's more than 2 weeks since the Royal Rumble PPV. Things were going well for Maria but not ALL things. It was hard to work around Wade. Really hard. There are moments that they will stare at each other and Maria hates that. Considering that they have a storyline to finish.
It was hard being away from John again. Maria haven't told anyone yet about her engagement, not even Mickie. They both agreed to keep it a secret, just for now.
It's hard if the high officials and the board members would know about their secret engagement and especially if the fans knew. All their "plans" for them would be ruined. Besides, it was stated in the contract that dating colleagues is strongly discouraged.
Maria's sitting on the make-up chair letting the make-up lady do her magic. She has a segment with Wade after this. She will wish him luck for his match against Randy.
She's reading through the script while the make-up lady dab some make-up on her face.
"You're done." The make-up lady smiled.
"Thank you." Maria returned her warm smile.
She made her way down the hallway. It's a good thing that Teddy agreed that she would room with Mickie instead of Wade.
She was nearing the gorilla position and she saw Wade near the curtain.
"Maria, wait up." Someone called from behind. It was Dave the producer. He pulled her to the side.
"I just wanna ask you if it's okay if you would kiss Wade when you wish him luck. That is, if it's okay with you." he whispered
"What? Why?" she replied in that same hush tone that he was using.
"We just wanna capture the real surprise reaction. It's okay if you won't do it but you know the reaction would be different. You know, just professionally. Just for rating purposes." He whispered
She knows that it's for rating purposes and the ratings is what's filling her pocket and keeps the paychecks coming. Besides, if the some high official or whatever hears this, they might think she's too picky or whatever and she doesn't wanna have that reputation.
"Okay, okay, fine I'll do it." she said dropping my hands in defeat.
"Okay, great." He said. she rolled my eyes.
"We're ready!" He yelled at some of the crew and Wade turned his head to her direction and there goes the awkward staring again.
"We're on in 5, 4, 3, 2, " he mouthed one
They filmed Wade pacing back and forth waiting for his music. She appeared into view in her sparkly blue ring attire and she could hear the fans go crazy immediately.
"What a lovely surprise." He said sarcastically. According to the script, he's playing annoyed because they're like bitter enemies on screen. Actually more like teenager enemies.
"You know what, believe it or not, I'm here to wish you luck." she said nonchalantly smirking and crossing her arms over her chest.
"Right." He said rolling his eyes. Then his music played.
"Wait," she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him down by the collar of his shirt and crashed him mouth over hers. She can hear the crowd go wild. She was smirking when I let him go.
"Goodluck" she whispered when she let him go and gave him a push towards the curtain.
Maria's POV
It was after my match with Michelle when I feel a very bad pain behind the back of my head. I did hit the turn buckle a little too hard and my head bounce on the mat a few times and I guess it got me a little dizzy.
I'm in the trainer's room and the trainer is checking on me. I'm holding onto the back of my neck area where it hurts painfully. I did vomit a little bit and the trainer said I gotta go see a doctor because if I'm throwing up it means there could be some serious head injury.
"Maria! You okay?" Mickie exclaimed bursting into the room.
"Micks, it's okay. I'm fine." I said waaay calmly than her.
"Is she okay?" she was shaking the trainer's arm.
"It's best if we could take her to a hospital." He said.
"Ready the ambulance." He said to one of the crew.
"Wait. I don't wanna ride in an ambulance?" I said unsurely.
"But we have to take you to a hospital." He said convincingly. My eyes searched the room for something I don't know.
"Mickie could drive me!" I said loudly. I stared at her with sharp eyes. Please say yes.
"Of course, I coul—d ddd—rive her." She blurted out a stutter.
"Okay let's go." I said walking out of the room as quickly as I can.
The moment we arrived at the hospital, I was marching in there like a maniac. Let's get this over with. I changed in a simple tank top and jeans before I left the arena. Apparently the trainers called the hospital and told them my case blah blah blah. I don't even know how they knew which hospital I was going. WWE's just so influential these days.
"Hey, I'm here for a check-up." I told the nurse.
"Ooh, Ms. Kanellis right?" she said. See, told you WWE's influential. I don't even have to tell them my name.
"mmhmm" I mumbled the agreement.
The nurse led us to a room with white stuff all over. I was clutching Mickie's hand. Obviously, I'm scared as hell.
"Hello, Ms. Uhhhhh Kanellis." A dark-haired handsome man said checking his clipboard before saying my name.
"That's me." I raised my hand like what they do in class when the teacher checks the attendance.
"I'm Dr. Davis." We shook hands.
"So, I've been informed about your situation and we're gonna run some tests and see what's wrong." He said giving me a reassuring smile.
The tests went like forever. Some are painful. Some are just unexplainable. Some are just plainly weird. After the tests were all done, I thought about calling John. I asked Mickie if she could hand me my phone. I tapped on John's number.
"Hey baby, what's up?" hearing his voice made me smile.
"Nothing much but don't freak out." I replied
"I'm in a hospital." I blurted out before he could reply.
"What? Why? What happened?" I almost knew what he would say.
"Just kinda hurt myself in a match." I said shrugging.
"You okay? Do you need me to come down there?" he was rambling
"No babe, it's fine. Just ran some tests. I'll be fine." I said.
"Okay, if you say so." He said doubtingly.
"Babe, I'll be fine. Really. I'll call you later and tell you the results okay? The doc's coming." I assured.
"Okay… Bye. I love you."
"Bye. I love you too." I said quickly and ended the call.
"So Ms. Kanellis." The doctor said striding into the room.
"Is there something wrong with her?" Mickie cut him off.
"No, I'm afraid nothing's wrong." He joked. I sighed heavily. It was like I was holding something too much in.
"But there is something." He continued. Just then I almost fell out of my seat.
"What?" I said
"I thought you said nothing's wrong?" Mickie said as confused as I am.
"You are correct but I did find something." He said
"What?" Mickie and I said at the same time.
"Congratualtions, you are two weeks pregnant."
