Author's Note: Yay! New update. This one's a bit shorter than the last two, so enjoy :)
Elle lowered her black Ray Bans to cover her green eyes. The sun was getting brighter as her and Wade laid out at Oak Street Beach to enjoy the nice, warm day. It was only nine in the morning, but the weather definitely felt like it was summer already. She sat up, slightly feeling nauseous all of a sudden.
"Sweets, are you alright?" Wade asked, sitting up as well. When she looked over at him, he was concerned. "I...I'm fine, babe. Feeling a little nauseous is all," she replied, taking a swig from her water bottle. She then leaned against his shoulder when he pulled her close. She smiled. It's been almost a month since her birthday had happened and everything's been great since then. Her and Wade were in a good place and were happy again, and although Dolph wasn't in her life anymore, she was able to manage without him, her feelings for him gone like that. She did miss him as a friend sometimes because of his hilarity and ability to make her smile in an instant, but she had other friends like that. It was still hard, but she managed. "You think we could go home actually? The smell is making me sick."
Wade's face scrunched up a bit. "Smell? I can't even smell a thing," he responded as he helped her up.
"Yeah, well, I can." She took his hand and his scar from the surgery on his elbow caught her eye. When she caught glance of it, it always reminded her that he would be out for another four months. At least he was alright now. That's all that mattered to her.
As they walked into their building, they were politely greeted by the doorman and the concierge at the front desk. "Mrs. Barrett," he called out. "There's a delivery for you." He disappeared behind the desk and came back a second later with a beautiful bouquet of purple and white hydrangeas, her favorites. "A handsome man with blonde hair came by a few minutes ago."
Handsome? Blonde? It had to be Dolph. "Did he have intense blue eyes, strong jawline, perhaps wearing pink?" Elle questioned. He nodded his head. She thanked the concierge and headed up their elevator. She noticed a note on the vase, but before she could grab it, Wade did.
He unfolded the note and read it out loud. "Elle, I'm so sorry for what I did. I should have known better than to take advantage of you while I was sober and you were drunk. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me. I know these are your favorites, so please take the hydrangeas as an apology. I still love you. -Dolph." Wade laughed, shoving the note in his pocket. "What a fool! He thinks your favorite flowers and a note will make things better."
Elle let out a weak laugh. "I know right?" she scoffed as she stepped out of the elevator. Dolph always found a way to wiggle himself back into her life.
"What's he even doing in Chicago?" Wade questioned as he flopped down on the couch.
"That's what I'm wondering," Elle replied, her eyes still attached to the flowers. When she finally able to tear her eyes away from the purple and white flowers, she joined her husband on the couch, snuggling close to him. She shook away all her thoughts of Dolph and the reason he was in Chicago. She rested her head on Wade's chest, wrapping an arm tightly around him. She could spend her days just like this, the two of them curled up together, not doing a thing. It was one of her favorite things to do.
When Elle woke up, it was dark except for the glimmer coming from the television. She found Wade at the end of her body, her feet sitting across his lap, the Xbox controller in his hand. "Wade?" she called out, her voice a little groggy. She sat up, pulling her legs to her chest.
Wade stopped, hearing the meek voice of his wife. He pressed paused on the controller, turning to her. "Yes, love?" he asked. He scooted closer to her, putting an arm around her.
"Can we order in? I'm hungry?" she said.
He nodded his head. "Of course. Chinese?" It was her turn to nod her head. He gave her a kiss before getting up to order them dinner for the night. As he ordered their food, he noticed Elle seemed a little sick. He turned back around. She had her favorite leopard throw over her legs, his controller in her hands. He walked over to her as he finished ordering and felt her forehead, then neck. She felt hot. "Love, you feel hot," he told her.
"What?" Her face seemed confused. She felt herself. She did seem hot. She quickly got up, looking into the mirror in the hallway. She looked a little pale, but her cheeks were rosy. She saw Wade's face as she approached him. "Don't worry, baby. I'm sure it's nothing." She bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm gonna go shower."
"Is that an invitation?" Wade smirked, catching her wrist and tugging her back on top of him. He slung his arms around her, kissing her for the millionth time today.
Elle giggled. She pulled away and shook her head. "No. You play your games and wait for dinner. I'll be back in a few minutes," she told him.
"Hey, you used to love taking showers with me!" he shouted playfully.
All she did was giggle as she entered the bathroom. She turned on the shower, leaving it alone so the cold water turned warm. She looked down at her phone. Thoughts of Dolph and his flowers rapidly occupied her mind. Why did it take him so long to apologize? She was about to text him when suddenly, the devil himself had done it. She opened up the message. He was asking if she got his flowers. "Of course I did, you fuckin' idiot!" Elle exclaimed to herself. She put her phone down and showered.
Wade already had their dinner set up on the living room's coffee table when she got back from showering. He was still playing his video games and the food looked untouched. "Hi baby," she said as she approached him. He quickly stood up at her presence.
"Hey. You hungry?" he asked, sitting back down as she did.
"Mhmm. Starving," she replied, reaching for an eggroll. She smiled when she heard the crunch. Wade had willingly plated her some food as she leaned back into the couch. She thanked him when he handed it over. She watched as he changed his video game to a movie. "Nice choice," she giggled when she saw what movie it was.
"Well, I know it's one of your favorites," he smiled.
"Good to know you pay attention to what I like and don't like." She smiled up at him, her eyes glistening with happiness. She hasn't felt this happy with her own husband in what seemed like years. She was glad that her relationship with Wade was back to normal. "So are you excited for Wrestlemania week?" she asked.
"Mhmm," Wade hummed. "I'm just happy to be in my surroundings again."
"I'm excited to go to the Hall of Fame ceremony. That's going to be amazing," Elle exclaimed.
Wade agreed. "It's going to be a fantastic week!"
Elle nodded her head. She could see his eyes glistening with excitement, like a kid opening their presents on Christmas day. She was excited as well. Wrestlemania was like Christmas for wrestling fans. It was the best week out of the entire year.
Elle smiled when she stepped out of the car. The warm air and the bright sunshine greeted her. She and Wade had just gotten to Miami for Wrestlemania. She was so excited and giddy to be here. Although she had no match, she was still participating at Fan Axxess by doing some signings. She couldn't wait to meet her fans. As they walked hand in hand to the hotel, Elle caught a whiff of a hot dog with all these condiments from a stranger walking past and she suddenly felt nauseous.
Wade looked over at Elle, his face expressing sudden worry. "Love, are you alright?" he asked, stopping in front of her and placing a hand on her head. She wasn't hot anymore, but she was turning paler by the second.
"I-I-Can you...ask...where the...bathroom is?" Elle slowly said, cupping her mouth right after. If she didn't find a bathroom soon, her breakfast of waffles, sausage, and eggs will be all over the hotel lobby's marble floor.
Wade quickly reacted and asked a staff member for the nearest bathroom. Once pointed in that direction, he hurriedly took Elle there, hoping she wouldn't barf all over the place on the way. This had been the fifth day she'd been like this, feeling nauseous in the morning, then feeling better after. He wasn't sure why she was like this, but he thought it would be best if they go to a doctor.
He waited for no more than a little over five minutes until Elle came back out. She still looked pale, but she had a smile on her face. "How are you feeling?" he asked her.
"Gross, but better," she replied. "Did you check in?"
"No," he replied, shaking his head. "I wanted to wait for you."
"Well, sweet of you."
"I know. Do you want me to carry you or?"
Elle giggled, thanking him, but not taking his offer. Instead, they walked hand in hand again and went to check in before heading up to their room. Along the way, she saw a few of the other wrestlers. They were all staying at the same hotel so it was obvious as to why the hotel was swarming with her friends. Once they were already checked in, they headed up to their room until it was time for them to head to Axxess.
Wade paced back and forth, contemplating on asking Elle a serious question. He felt like she could possibly be pregnant since they have been trying almost every night since her birthday. It's been a month and he knew that that was probably enough time for her to become pregnant. "Elle?" he called out sheepishly.
"Yes?" she sweetly replied, putting down her book and giving him her attention.
"Is there a slight possibility that you may be pregnant?" he spat out.
She closed her book this time and stood up, coming toe to toe with the six foot six man. "There is. Why? Did you want to find out?" she grinned. She slung her arms around his waist, and rested her chin against his body. She saw his lips curl into a smile when he nodded his head. "Well, then. I'll be back. I'm going to go to the nearest store and pick up some tests."
He leaned down and gave her a peck. "Okay. Love you," Wade said before letting her go.
"Love you more." She grabbed her things and hurried out. She was anxious herself to see if she was pregnant again or not. She would be ecstatic if she was and she knew Wade would be as well. After all, he is the one who really wanted a child again. Hopefully, he would be up for the challenge.
Once Elle had gotten what she needed at the store, she headed back to the hotel. She was such in a hurry that she didn't look where she was going and bumped into someone, her things flying to the ground. Before she could pick up her bag of pregnancy tests, he already did.
"You're pregnant?" he questioned as he handed her back the bag.
Author's Note: Who do you think she bumped into? Could it be Dolph?
