"So you want to have the baby shower tomorrow? I mean, I need to get some things together for it." The other voice on the lie continued to speak. Hadlynn replied with "yeahs" and "uh huhs" for the rest of the conversation before hanging up. She sighed, putting the phone down.
Why does it have to be tomorrow? Hadlynn thought to herself. Jamie is driving me absolutely crazy, I can't tell anybody, I don't feel good, and I don't want to get out of bed at all. I rreally can't take this crap anymore.
Hadlynn put on some flip flops, grabbed her phone and car keys, and headed down to her car. Once she got in, she looked in the rear view mirror to see Jamie Noble. He spoke with his strong Southern accent. "Well hello Hadlynn, how are we today?"
Feeling Noble's hand rub her belly, she closed her eyes. "Jamie, please just tell me what you want from me. I promise I won't tell anybody."
"See, darling, here's what I want from you. You are mine. You will do everything I say and everything I want. Best of all, you can't tell anybody about it. Got it?" He laughed, stepping out of the car. She quickly locked the doors, driving to her location with tears in her eyes.
Dean, Seth, and Roman were all waiting for Hadlynn at the restaurant by the rivers in the city. All of sudden, a woman began to walk towards the building. She had straightened hair, a long white maxi dress, and white strap sandals. Hadlynn carried herself well. The three met her with open arms.
"I thought there was a no white after Labor Day rule amongst the women," Dean said, smiling as he walked her into the building.
Hadlynn laughed sarcastically, replying only with "I thought we were only inviting tough guys to this. I guess both of us broke a rule or two."
"Ecerybody broke a rule, too. They all bought you gifts for when the baby arrives." Seth said. Hadlynn rolled her eyes at them. "Sorry, that one was kind of my fault, but we also just saved you a ton of time, so can I get a thank you?"
"Hell no you can't," Hadlynn stated. "But I'll still be your friend."
Roman laughed, "honey, his dreams are coming true, now."
They walked into the outdoor wing, seeing tons of Hadlynn's closest friends. As she looked around, she saw her boyfriend run up to her. She leaped into his arms, embracing him with a death grip. The two were smiling ear to ear. Ryan kissed her cheeks, making her blush.
"I haven't seen you with straight hair in a long time," Ryan said, looking deeply into her eyes. She giggled at the comment. "Hell, I haven't seen you in a long time period. Where have you been?"
"You know, growing humans in my belly. The usual."
As the night went on, Hadlynn and Ryan met with all of their guests, talking and laughing the night away. The two were inseparable when together. All of the seeing world could tell that they were happy together.
It was about 11 o'clock at night. Hadlynn sat out, looking out into the river with Ryan, Seth, Dean, Roman and his family, Renee, Shawn Michaels and his family, Triple H and his family, Paige, the Bellas and their boyfriends, and Natayla. They were all looking out at the reflection of the moon on water while they relaxed in some benches.
Ryan sat with Hadlynn leaning up against his right side. "Baby, you've been through a lot. Really, you're an inspiration to everybody around you if you ask me. And you've made my life absolutely perfect. Disney couldn't even write this shit. So, what I'm saying here is that I never want it to end." Hadlynn looked up into his bright blue eyes, smiling. He pulled out a ring box. "Hadlynn Lucille Nicole Shae, will you marry me?"
Hadlynn began laughing, tears filling up her eyes. Everybody leaned in in anticipation for her answer. "Yes, only if you never call me by my full name ever again. Yes!" The crowd filled with applause.
"That's my girl," Paige yelled as she stood up, clapping loudly. "She can still get men even when she's pregnant! We are in the presence of a legend, and Ryan and Hadlynn are truly blessed to be together."
Renee added on, "Ryan, I'd watch it, man. You got a wrestler for a wife now. And you're marrying in to a whole industry who aren't afraid to kick your ass if you fuck up!"
"Thanks, Renee, for officially scaring my boyfriend to death. It is well appreciated."
The group continued to talk while Hadlynn fell asleep in her now fiancé's arms. He held her close to him as he laughed with the group. They had welcomed him as one of their own a long time ago, but now, he truly felt like a part of the family. A family full of people who were not afraid to fight when necessary. Most men would be too scared to enter into such a commitment, but Ryan honestly loved her to death and would never leave her side, no matter what.
