No One's POV
It was weeks after and Maria was back at Smackdown and John was of course back on Raw. After all the shit with the paternity test was done, Maria just told the company that she's not medically cleared to compete. She didn't state why yet.
The paternity test was hard. You know, having John and Wade in the same room. The Doctor said they're gonna send her the results and it's a torture waiting this long.
She's in her hotel room. She didn't go to the arena. She told Mickie and the others that she wasn't feeling very well cause she really isn't.
She's just lounging on the couch in front of the TV eating almost everything Mickie got her yesterday from the grocery store down the street.
She was watching Spongebob. She knows it's childish but as always there was nothing good on TV. She suddenly thought about some stuff.
What will happen if she finds out who the father of the baby is? What will happen to her job?
Then absent-mindedly she places a light hand on her stomach. Then for the first time, she really thought of the baby.
A smile crept on her face. So, it was true. Being pregnant is the best feeling a woman could ever get. She loves it.
She loves the baby and no matter who the father is, she is still gonna love the baby.
Maria's POV
When I arrived home, my house is just as I left it or just as how I and John left it. I sighed.
I asked for a couple of days off. I can't be on the road since I'm not "medically cleared" to compete anyway. Johnny was at least kind enough to give me a few days off.
I dumped my stuff into the living room and plopped down on the couch. I got the phone and ordered some pizza. I turned the TV on but I don't feel like watching. I left it on instead and went into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and saw that I need some grocery shopping to do. I guess I'll do that tomorrow. I went out and checked my mail. There were bills and newsletters then I saw it.
That light orange envelope. I took it and read the back. Yup, this is it. I told myself as I head back to the house.
It was minutes that I sat on the couch staring at the envelope on the coffee table. I was silent all the time but the television provided the background noise.
I looked up at the wall clock then saw that the minutes that I spent looking at the envelope were actually hours!
This is it. I sighed and reached for it.
I opened it and read the terms that I knew I would never understand but the result at the bottom is clear and I just stared at it not knowing how to react.
No One's POV
Maria just stared at the result. She let out a shaky breath and ran a hand through her hair. She grabbed her phone nearby and dialed the number she's intending to call.
"Hello?" Wade answered
"Hi, Wade." She said slowly
"Maria. How are you feeling?" he asked concerned
"I'm great. I just need to tell you something." She walked towards the window and stared out
"What is it?" he asked
"I got the results…." Maria continued
"Annnnd?" he anticipated
"It's not yours." She held her breath then she heard him sigh heavily after being quiet for so long.
"Wow… This is it then?" he said
"This is what?" she blurted out
"Goodbye." He said
"I guess." She just answered
"Thank you, Wade." she whispered
"For what?" he asked
"For everything." She said
"Well, I guess this is goodbye then
"Goodbye Wade." She cleared her voice
"Goodbye Maria." He said casually
Maria stared at the phone after it the line went dead. She was thankful she had done that over the phone cause she knows it's gonna be harder if she didn't.
