Maria's POV
I'm dead so dead. I'm pregnant. I'm not ready yet. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna have a baby.
I'm staring outside the window. We're on our way back to the hotel. No one dared to speak since we left the hospital. It's not yet sinking in.
"Maria, are you okay?" I looked to the driver's seat and Mickie was staring at me with concern.
"I don't know." For the first time I can't pretend and say I'm fine.
"Well, are you gonna tell John?" she asked with one hand on the steering wheel.
"I don't know. There's a lot you've been missing Micks." I told her about the engagement and the thing about Wade and all of the other stuff.
"You know, Ri? I think John will be thrilled about the baby. I know how much he loves you. You're engage! You could get married before the baby's born." She pointed out.
"Another thing is Mickie, I've been counting the days. I'm not sure who the father of the baby is." I confessed.
No One's POV
Mickie was left speechless.
"Oh Ria." She said and pulled Maria into a hug when they got out of the car. All she could do now is be supportive to Maria.
"Mickie, I'm scared." Maria said wrapping her arms around herself.
"I'm here." Mickie assured as she put a hand on her arm.
"I told the doctor that there could be 2 possible fathers and he said we could always run a paternity test." Maria said
"See, there's a solution." Mickie said softly.
"What if it isn't John's?" Maria said scared. She just got back with John. She does not want things to be ruined between them.
"I'm sure he will understand. He will still love you no matter what Ri." Mickie said.
"I hope so." She whispered.
They made their way into the hotel and up to their hotel room. Maria thought she should tell Wade and also John the truth.
Mickie walked out the elevator to their floor and looked back at Maria confusedly when she didn't move.
"I gotta go to Wade's room. I have to tell him." She said.
"Okay, do you want me to go with you?" Mickie said. She knows this is harder for Maria than it already is.
"No, I'm good. Meet you later?" She said.
"Okay." Mickie said. She watched Mickie's concerned face disappear beyond the doors.
There was a knock on the door and Wade headed for it. He opened it expected it to be one of his guys but it was Maria.
"We need to talk." She said walking pass him.
"Can I help you?" He said sarcastically closing the door.
"I'm pregnant Wade." She said sternly facing him. He was quiet for a moment.
"What do I have to do with that?" He said walking towards her.
"You might be the father." She said.
"Might?" he said.
"Please don't ask and make this harder than it already is." She whined and dropped on to the couch and covered her face with her hands and she began sobbing for the first time this night.
He gets it. The other possible father is John. He looks at the fragile woman in front of him. He walked over and dropped onto the couch next to her. He hesitated for a moment then put his arms around her.
Maria didn't resist the hug. She cried on his shirt.
"I'm sorry." She said pulling away and wiping her tears.
"No, don't say that." He said tucking her hair behind her ear.
"I just don't know what to do. I wasn't expecting to hear it from the doctor." Maria whispered.
"Well, did the doctor say anything about a test?" he said gently. She just nodded meekly.
"Let's do that then." He said. Just as he thought he could really move on from Maria but he can't leave her like this.
"I'll be here Maria." He said. She stood up and walked to the door.
"Thank you Wade." Then she walked out the door.
John's POV
I lied. I can't help but worry how Maria's feeling so I took a flight to where Smackdown is at the moment. I haven't slept yet but I can't sit here and just know that my girl's hurt.
I knocked on the door where Mickie and Maria are staying. Mickie opened the door and almost automatically her eyes went huge. I can hear sobbing in the background.
"John?" she said unsure.
"Mickie is everything okay? I looked behind her and saw Maria on the couch crying. Her face covered with her hands.
"Maria, are you okay?" I asked pushing through Mickie. I sat beside her and hugged her.
"Mickie, can you give us a second?" she asked her but her face still covered with her hands.
"Okay." Mickie went out and closed the door behind her.
"So, are you gonna tell me what's wrong now?" I asked her gently.
"I'm pregnant John." To tell the truth, it caught me off guard. I didn't have the time to react.
"I'm not sure who the father is." Just like that. She dropped the bomb on me.
I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to say. I'm angry. Not at Maria but at the situation. Just as I thought that things are going well.
"John?" she dropped her hands from her face and is looking at me intently.
I stood up and walked away from her. I walked towards the window instead and stared out at nothing. Why would this happen? Why now?
"John, I-" she wasn't able to finish cause I pounded my fist on the wall beside the window. I felt her jump at my reaction. I walked back to her and dropped down beside her heavily. I buried my face on my hands.
"Why?" was only what I said. I couldn't look at her, the only woman I truly loved.
"I'm sorry John. I will go on about the paternity test tomorrow. I already scheduled it." Then she broke down.
I looked at her. She had her head down. She looks so vulnerable. I can't be mad at her. I just can't. I held her as she cried instead. I proposed marriage to her which means I was ready to face anything with her. I committed myself to be with her through whatever because I love her so much.
"I will be here." I whispered as I kiss her head.
