Author's Note: And here's your answer to who she possibly could of ran into. SURPRISE IT'S ...
"No. I'm not sure so that's why I have these. I've been getting sick in the morning lately and I can smell practically everything, like the fact that you just had coffee and chocolate pancakes," Elle responded. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
He caught her wrist as she brushed past him. "Does Dolph know?"
"No and you can't tell him about this conversation, Jack," Elle firmly told him.
"If you are pregnant, you have to talk to him. That baby could be his."
Her face scrunched up. That was impossible. The baby couldn't be his. They'd have to have had unprotected sex for that to happen. Her mind stopped quickly as she remembered the night of her birthday. That's the last time they had done it and she was piss drunk that she didn't even know if Dolph used protection or not. "Well, I refuse to believe that, if I am pregnant, that this child could be his." She turned away from Jack and went back up to her room. Though he was right. There could be a chance that it could be Dolph's, if they didn't use protection. She would have to confront him about it sooner or later.
"Ugh," Wade groaned as he slid down against the wall. "Why can't I be in there with you?"
"Because, Wade, I'm going to let you watch me pee on a stick!" Elle shouted back from inside the bathroom.
"Fine, fine. The least you could do is hurry up. I'm getting anxious here."
"Just wait three more minutes!"
When he heard the faucet running, he stood up and opened the door. She was all done and washing her hands. Three different sticks sat on the bathroom counter, one underneath the other. He stared at it, knowing that those three sticks determined whether him and Elle were going to have a child again. He glanced at Elle. She was sitting on top of the toilet seat, her legs crossed and her eyes on her phone. Wade came closer and knelt down beside her. He saw his name on her phone screen. "What do you need Dolph for?" he quickly questioned.
"Oh, nothing," Elle lied. "Accidentally hit the wrong contact." And just in time, the timer on her phone rang as well, indicating that it was time to look at the tests. It took her a moment to read them, but when she did, she knew Wade would be the happiest man on the planet.
Fuck, Wade thought in his mind when Elle turned around with a not so happy look on her face. "So what's it say?" he eagerly wanted to know.
Her eyes connected with his. "I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed loudly, her blank face brightening into a smile.
"What? Really?" Wade wanted to make sure.
"Yes! The tests read positive!" She threw her arms around Wade, giggling happily as he spun her around.
"Oh, love! That's amazing. Oh my god, I can't believe it." He was getting out of breath from all the quick excitement. "We have to tell everyone."
Elle quickly froze. She opposed to it, at least for now. "There's a few people I want to tell privately first, like my brother and Maryse. You can tell Cody, but he has to promise not to tell anyone."
Wade took that bargain. He knew his best friend would be excited for him, too. He also couldn't wait to call his family and tell them that Elle was pregnant. They would be so ecstatic to have their first grandchild.
Elle actually didn't have a signing at Axxess today, so while Wade did, she hung around, meeting fans and taking pictures with them. She was actually waiting for Dolph to text her back. She had sent him a text about ten minutes ago, asking to talk to him in person. Since then, he hadn't texted her back yet. She really needed to ask him about the night of her birthday. It was definitely important for her future.
Dolph stared at his phone. He had been staring at it for ten minutes because he had no idea how to respond to the text message he received. Elle was asking to talk to him in person. They haven't made contact in a month, except when he sent her flowers as an apology to what happened then, but she never responded back. Now she was asking for him and he had no idea what about.
He made his way into the Fan Axxess. He wasn't scheduled for today, but that's where Elle was. He walked his way to the backstage area and the first person he found was Elle. She was sitting stilly on a metal folding chair, her legs delicately crossed one over the other. Her dark, perfectly curled hair was pulled all the way back into a ponytail, all out of her face. Her eyes were glued to the pair of leopard heels that were on her feet. Dolph slowly walked toward Elle, careful not to startle her. "Hey," he lowly called out.
Elle snapped out of her trance, her head quickly turning at the sound of a familiar voice. He stood a few inches away from her. His hands were stuck into the pockets of his jeans, his ocean blue eyes smiling at her. "Hi," she smiled lightly, standing up. "I'm glad you came."
"You couldn't stay away, could you?" Dolph joked.
"I can never seem to," she played along. Though she had to get to the point and she didn't want to waste any more time. It was time to just spit it out. "But this is serious. When we had sex, the night of my birthday, did we use protection at all?"
Dolph was taken aback. He felt like this was the most random conversation, or question to ask after weeks of not speaking to one another. "I-I...we didn't. I'm sorry, Elle," he answered her. He watched her expression rapidly change. She looked like she saw a ghost. "But why do you need to know this?"
She sighed heavily. "I-I'm...I'm pregnant, Dolph," she spat out.
Dolph fell to his knees, running a hand through his hair. He couldn't believe what Elle just told him. She was pregnant and it was no wonder she asked him if they used protection. It was because she was pregnant with his child. Or was she? "Wait. It is mine, isn't it?" he wanted to make sure. He looked up at Elle. Her face was blank. He couldn't read any of her emotions and usually, he could.
"I don't know, Dolph. I had sex with Wade, too. To try and have a child again, but I'm scared that if this baby turns out to be yours, Wade will actually leave me this time. Then I'll have no one," Elle admitted.
"No. You'll have me. I'm always right here for you, okay? Always and forever," he promised her. He pulled her close when he saw her eyes started welling up. He loosened up and smiled when she hugged him back. In a twisted way, he hoped that baby would turn out to be his.
After they parted ways, Elle texted Phil and Maryse to meet her at the Starbucks a few blocks away from the convention center. First, she went to pay Wade a visit and let him know where she would be. He still had a long line of fans waiting to meet him. In-between fans, she quickly called for him. She didn't really want to just march up the stage. "Babe, I'm going to meet Phil and Maryse, okay? I'll be back by the time you're done," she shouted. When he gave her a thumbs up and mouthed "I love you" to her, she did the same and walked off.
While heading to the Starbucks she asked her brother and her best friend to meet her at, Elle's thoughts ran wild. How was she even going to tell Wade that this baby could probably not be his? He would freak out and leave her. She had a feeling he would. And while Dolph's promise that he would be there always was sweet, she couldn't bare the thought of having his child. It seemed so wrong after everything that's happened.
She had finally gotten to the coffee shop and found Maryse and Phil outside, sipping on their drinks. Elle greeted them with hugs before sitting down. She could see the eager looks on their faces, wondering why they were asked to meet her. So she just flat out told them. "I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed. The looks on their faces were priceless. It looked like they found out they just won the lottery.
"Félicitations, Elle! Je suis tellement heureux pour vous!" Maryse exclaimed as she hugged her best friend.
"That's so amazing, baby sister!" Phil happily said. "Congrats!"
"Thank you, guys. It means so much to me," she responded. "Wade and I are so excited."
"And that answers my question if you told Wade," Phil laughed.
"When did you find out?" Maryse asked.
"A few hours ago. I've been getting sick in the morning and I can smell everything and everything else, so Wade decided that we should see if I was pregnant," Elle explained.
It didn't show, but Phil was very excited. He wrapped an arm around his sister's shoulders, pulling her close. "That's great, Ellie. I'm so happy for you and Wade."
After a little while, they all headed back the convention center. Phil had interviews to do and Maryse wanted to go find Mike and tell him the news. Plus, Elle was pretty sure Wade was done with his signing. He would be probably wandering around Axxess or was backstage waiting for her. She called him and when he answered, he told her he was backstage. So that's where she headed.
Word quickly went around that Elle was pregnant. She didn't mind that it got out since she already talked to the most important people involved. Her friends were all bound to find out anyway. It was the end of the day and all of the first day's events were finished. "Wade!" Elle shouted from their bed. "Where are we going tonight?"
"It's a surprise, Elle!" he shouted right back. His head peaked out from the bathroom's doorway. "Now could please put on your dress and get ready?"
"Okay," she gave in. Her eyes glanced over the simple black, skin tight dress. The back of the dress was backless and the sleeves were long-sleeved. She stripped down and slipped on the dress, buckling a skinny, hot pink belt around stomach. She pulled the dress down a little since it was pretty short, but when she stood straight back up, it went up with her.
"Ooh, you are looking very good tonight."
Elle twisted around and found a big smirk on Wade's face as he came out of the bathroom. He, too, was looking very good tonight. They were obviously going somewhere formal and fancy if Wade was dressed in a pink and white striped button down that were tucked into his black slacks. "You look handsome, sweetie," Elle smiled, leaning against him and tiptoeing to give him a kiss. With heels, she was able to kiss him without any problem. When she wasn't wearing them, she had to stand on her tiptoes. That's what happened when he was six foot six and she was five foot five. She felt his arms go around her waist, his lips roughly kissing her again.
"Alright. It's time to go," he said. He slipped on his dress shoes right as she slipped on her heels. Grabbing the things they needed with them, they walked hand in hand out of their hotel room. Their friends were waiting for them in one of the private rooms of the hotel's restaurant. He had Maryse and some of the other Divas plan out a quick party to celebrate her pregnancy. He was positive Elle would love it.
"Oh, so it's date night," Elle observed when they got to the restaurant.
"Sort of. I got us a private room," Wade replied, holding her hand.
"Well, sorry Mr. Big Money," she joked, sending Wade into a laugh. Her eyes watched as the waiter opened the doors to the private room her husband was talking about. She couldn't believe what she saw in front of her. A loud and happy, "Congratulations!" rang through her ears. Her friends stood there with huge smiles on their faces. Elle did not see that coming at all. She looked over at Wade. "Did you do all this?"
"Maryse and the girls planned it, I just told them about it," he admitted. "Now go on." He pushed her toward their friends, letting them greet her. Wade just wanted to show her how excited he was about all this.
Elle saw him, in the corner of the room, like where she found him on her birthday. Though this time, she wasn't mad he was there. She was actually happy to see him. When he smiled at her, she smiled back. She excused herself from Nikki and Eve and walked over to him. She knew she was in dangerous waters by talking to him since she wasn't even supposed to at all, but things have changed.
"Hey gorgeous," Dolph smiled as Elle walked up to him with a hug.
"Hi," was all she could muster up to say.
"You look beautiful tonight."
"Thanks Dolph." She paused and looked away from him for a second. Her eyes scanned the room for Wade. He was occupied by a bottle of beer and the company of Cody and Chris Jericho. "I haven't told him yet. That there's a chance this baby couldn't be his."
"But you know you have to."
"I know, but I can't tonight at least. It'll ruin his mood."
"Yeah," he agreed. "I understand. So how did your brother take the news?"
"He was ecstatic, but of course, no one could be more ecstatic than Wade."
"Mhmm. No one wanted a kid more than he did," Dolph chuckled lightly.
Elle agreed. Her eyes met Dolph's again. Her feelings toward him just came rushing back into her system. Though she knew they were always there. They just happened to show up once she was okay being around Dolph again and she was sure they would always be there. "Do you miss me, Dolph?"
"Every single day," he responded. "There's not a day or time when I'm not thinking of you, Ellie."
All she could do was nod her head. She had no idea how to respond because she didn't want to tell him that she missed him or thought about him every single day, too. It would just make him have more hope for them. She didn't want him to think that. "That's great," she rustled. "Well, I'll talk to you later." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went to join Wade.
Wade stood in front of all his friends, Elle by his side and their hands intertwined with each others. He looked down at Elle and smiled at her. He wouldn't take his eyes off her until she did it back. Though her eyes seemed to be on someone else. He followed her gaze and her eyes were connected to Dolph. Dolph's smile quickly disappeared when he noticed Wade glaring at him. That was Elle's cue to look back at her husband. "Something going on?" he questioned, eyeing her, then Dolph.
"Nope," she nonchalantly replied.
"Good," he said. Then he began his short speech. "I'd just like to thank everyone for coming tonight and for Maryse, Nikki, and Brie for setting this all up. Elle and I are very, very elated to have found out that we're having a baby." He raised his glass as everyone else did in salute. Then a quick applause erupted for the celebrating couple.
The celebration ended around eleven on a good note. Everyone had fun and everyone was excited for Wade and Elle. The couple were the last to leave the restaurant. "Hey love, did you want to take a walk?" Wade asked her. They were about to head to their room, but he decided on a nice walk on the beach.
"Sure. It sounds nice," she smiled as she took his hand.
The hotel they were staying at wasn't that far from the beach so they got there in no time. Being eleven at night, the beach was deserted. It was just the two of them, the ocean, and the dim lights of the street lamps and the moon. It was such a beautiful night. Wade took in his surroundings. Miami was such a beautiful place. He sometimes missed living here. "So Cody told me he saw you talking to Dolph earlier today, back at Axxess," he brought up.
Elle instantly broke down. "I-I'm sorry, Wade. I know I'm not supposed to talk to him, but I-"
He cut her off. "No, it's fine. I'm okay with it," he admitted.
"What?" A confused look graced Elle's face. Where did this sudden able to be okay with her being friends with Dolph come from? This had to be some kind of trap or joke.
"I said I'm fine with you being friends with Dolph. I know how much he means to you, Elle."
While she was happy that Wade somehow finally accepted her friendship with Dolph, she knew she had to tell him why she was talking to Dolph back at Axxess. After that, she knew Wade wouldn't want her to be friends with him anymore. Either that or she would leave him. "Wade, I need to tell you something," she began. She stopped and sat down in the sand. She would yet disappoint her husband once again.
Instant concern took over Wade's body. He sat down next to her. "What? What is it, love?"
"The reason I-I was talking to Dolph was be-because..." She felt like it would never come out. From that point on, tears just came flowing through. "I asked him if we used protection the night of my birthday."
"W-Why would you ask him that?" He was more afraid than angry of the reason that Elle would ask Dolph that question. Crazy thoughts ran rapidly through his mind. What if Dolph said no and the child that was slowly growing in Elle's stomach turned out to be his?
