CHAPTER 31:

Later on that day, Nikki had since agreed to go out grocery shopping with Brie at several grocery stores. Their last stop was a pharmacy in which Nikki insisted that she needed to pick up her birth control. "I am so glad that I didn't get any milk or perishables" said Brie. "Relax Brie" said Nikki. "This will only take a second". Nikki walked all over the store before reaching the grocery section in which she shoved the entire shelf full of Neuro-Trim into her cart.

"Whoa there Nicole!" said Brie. "You don't need all of those". "Yes I do" said Nikki. "They're quite addicting and they help me". "Help you with what?" asked Brie. "Oh you know…to loose weight" said Nikki. "Nicole you don't need to loose any weight, trust me" said Brie. "I do" said Nikki. "After all people all over Twitter and Instagram say that I'm the fat twin". Nikki continued down onto the row of Neuro-Sleep and Neuro-Bliss's to throw into her cart.

"Nicole!" said Brie. "Do you realize that you've got about 30 to 40 bottles?" "So?" said Nikki. "I like them all". "Nikki, you're not even fat" said Brie. "It's just your boobs, that's all and even then you're not fat". Nikki took a deep breath in. "Look Brianna, I just like to drink them" she said. "And there's nothing wrong with that". "Ok Nicole" said Brie. "Look let's just hurry up and get your prescription". "Actually Brie, I'll go ahead and get them while you just take all of this stuff to checkout ok?" said Nikki.

"Nicole, you want me to pay over $200 worth of drinks?" said Brie. "Here's my card and the pin is 0-"said Nikki before getting cut off. "I know what the pin is" said Brie. "Just don't take too long. Bryan is back home starving". "You two are getting married in April, I think you should get used to things" said Nikki as she jogged off. Only Nikki didn't head to the pharmaceuticals section, she headed towards the section where she picked out a pregnancy test and waited until her sister completed her purchased for her before heading out to the car with her.

"Got your stuff?" asked Brie. "Yeah" said Nikki. "Here, let's go home" said Brie. "The guys are waiting". Nikki nodded as she put on her seatbelt and Brie drove away. After about 20 minutes, they arrived at Brie and Bryan's house to prepare dinner and as they made their way up the steps, Nikki slipped and fell. "You're alright?" asked Brie. "Yeah" said Nikki. "Luckily I sort of caught myself". "Luckily the camera didn't catch that" teased Brie. "Ha-ha very funny Brie" said Nikki, sarcastically.

The two entered inside. "We're home boys!" shouted Nikki. "Finally!" shouted Bryan. "I'm starving! I can't wait to get in the kitchen and start cooking!" Bryan helped the girls with their bags. "So what are we having?" asked Nikki as she picked up a carrot. "We are having roast chicken" said Brie as she took the carrot from her sister. "Dinner shall be promptly served by 9".

"Isn't that kind of late?" asked Nikki. "I tend not to eat anything after 6 unless I'm on a date". "It is a date silly, a double date between you, me, Bryan and John" said Brie. "Speaking of John where is he?" asked Nikki. "Oh he's upstairs still fighting with the cable guys" said Bryan. "Ugh again?" asked Nikki as she went upstairs. "He's in the guest room!" shouted Bryan.

Nikki made her way upstairs to find John still on the phone. "Uh-huh" he kept repeating as he furiously took down notes on a not pad with a purple crayon. She shook her head with a slight smirk as she exited the room and went straight into the bathroom which was across. Nikki slipped out the pregnancy test from her purse as her heart began to pound. "God please let me not be pregnant" she kept saying to herself.

After taking the test, she sat around for three minutes once again to await the results. She decided to head on her shared Twitter account with Brie to tweet: "Yummy dinner with my sis and our guys 2nite 3." After browsing around the web using the statements:

"The fat Bella twin, Nikki Bella is hot. Nikki Bella is wasting her time on John Cena", she finally ended up checking the results. She took a deep breath as she snatched the test from off of the countertop and it read: "Negative". With that she took a huge sigh of relief. "Now I can drink again" she said as she heavily wrapped up the test and the flattened box and threw it into the garbage bag.

Nikki walked out of the bathroom and back into the guest room to check on John. "Alright, thank you so much again guys. Ok, goodbye" he said as he hanged up. "Hey there stranger" said Nikki. "How did that go?" "Pretty good actually" said John. "I was just finishing paying off the bill of the cable contractor". "How much did it come out to?" Nikki asked. "$1,078.92" said John. "And you're writing all of this with a purple crayon?" asked Nikki. "Babe, what are you talking about?" asked John. "I wasn't using a crayon, I mean what am I 6?"

"No John! I saw you using the crayon! I saw you!" said Nikki. John held up a black and red ink pen for proof. "Do you believe me now silly?" he asked. "No John…I saw you using a purple crayon" said Nikki. "I swear!" John stood up from the desk. "Baby, are you alright?" he asked. "Yes John….I must be tired" said Nikki. "Nicole are you sure?" asked John. "Because you've been saying that you're seeing things for weeks now and I'm starting to get a little concerned". "I can assure you John that I just need a little more rest than I get at night" said Nikki. "All of these tours and shows we've been doing lately…I've just haven't been getting enough sleep lately that's all".

John continued to look at Nikki with a concerned look on his face. "Nicole, if this keeps happening, I want you to see a doctor" he said. "Or better yet, maybe you should be seeing one ASAP". Nikki nodded as John went to exit but Nikki gently stopped him. "I'm not pregnant" she said. "That's great news" said John. "I'm going to see what's cooking downstairs". "Dinner won't be ready for another 4 hours" said Nikki. John nodded as he exited the room.

This left Nikki to seriously wonder what was going on with her. John was right, for the past 3 months she hasn't been herself lately and she's beginning to seriously wonder why.

Meanwhile back in Pensacola, AJ finally awoke from her nap as she exited from the bed to use the rest room. After she came out of the bathroom, she found Roman in the kitchen cooking their dinner. "Hey there my sleepyhead!" said Roman. "You're finally awake! How was your nap?" "Great" said AJ as she sat down at the barstool. "How long was I out for?" "Oh…3 hours" said Roman as he kept stirring the pot. "Mm what's cooking?" asked AJ. "You're gonna be in for a real treat" said Roman. "We're having a traditional Samoan meal".

"Well whatever it is it smells delicious" said AJ. "Well what I'm cooking right now is coconut sauce" said Roman. "The main dish is gonna be mango chicken and for desert banana cake". "That sounds really yummy" said AJ. "Trust me baby it is" said Roman as he placed the spoon down. "I didn't know that Roman Reigns of the shield could cook" said AJ. "Well people can end up surprising you" said Roman. "Sorry I was asleep a lot longer than I wanted to be Leati" said AJ. "Don't be April" said Roman. "You've been up all day".

"Thank you" said AJ. "Are you ready to film 'Smack Down' tomorrow?" "Absolutely" said Roman. "It's a good thing it's in nearby Mobile". "That's in Alabama" said AJ. "Yeah" said Roman. "It's only about a 90 minute drive from here to the stadium". AJ nodded as she opened up a "WWE Magazine". "I remember that time when John was on the cover with those two rottweilers" said AJ. "Yeah that was pretty badass of him" said Roman as he began setting the table.

"You take care of me really good" said AJ. "Of course April" said Roman. "Leati, can I ask you something?" asked AJ. "Yeah?" asked Roman. "When was the first time…well…you know?" asked AJ as she picked up her fork and began to tap her plate. "Wait…you mean had sex?" asked Roman. "Um…uh huh" said AJ. "Oh um…gee I think…15, 16, 17?" said Roman. "But that was years ago, before I even got into wrestling". AJ nodded.

Roman continued on with his cooking after turning back around. "So…you were a teenager, in high school then?" asked AJ. "Yes April" said Roman as he turned back around. "How come your so interested in this stuff lately?" asked Roman. "I'm just curious that's all" said AJ. "Well since you're curious…how's about you tell me when you had your first boyfriend?" said Roman as he turned the stove down. "17" said AJ. "But we didn't last long. Only 3 months". "I'm sorry about that" said Roman as he sat down in front of AJ.

"So when was the first time you did something other than…sex?" asked AJ. Roman laughed. "Wow April, who knew you were quite the little detective" he said. "Well…maybe" said AJ. "I think it's like when I said it was" said Roman. AJ nodded. "I think our dinner is ready" said Roman as he got back up to begin serving their meal.

"I'm sorry I seem such the busybody" said AJ. "It's just that I was just a tad curious". "Its ok baby" said Roman as he sat back down. The couple began to dig into their meal. "Mm this really is good" said AJ. "I've gotta cook you something now too". "You're really funny" said Roman. "But thank you". After the two finished, Roman began to wash the dishes until AJ stopped him. "Baby it's ok" she said. "After all you've done so much for me today. I wanna do them". Roman chuckled. "It's ok" he said. "I have a little surprise for you". "A surprise?" asked AJ. "What kind of surprise?" "If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore" said Roman.

With that AJ nodded and entered into the bedroom to sit up and watched TV. After another 15 minutes, Roman entered and got back up into the bed next to her. "So what's my surprise?" she asked. "Patience" said Roman. "Now first I'll cover your eyes and come quickly with me". AJ nodded as the two got up from the bed and they began walking with Roman covering AJ's eyes. "How much further?" she asked. "Oh just a little while longer" said Roman. They continued walking until they reached the living room again.

"Ok" he said. "Now before I remove my hands I just wanted to ask you something very important". "Ok what is it?" asked AJ. "Are you ready to be a mom?" asked Roman. AJ's heart began pounding. "What…does he mean if I'm ready to be a mom?" she asked herself. "Is he already ready to settle down? I'm only 26…well that's still a good age but I'm still early on into my career, both of us are". "April?" asked Roman. "Are you ready?" "Oh…I dunno" AJ said nervously. Roman chuckled. "Relax, it's going to be the three of us for now on" he said.

AJ swallowed hard as she suddenly felt Roman's hands leave from of off her face. "Are you ready?" asked Roman. AJ nervously nodded yes. "Ok you can open your eyes now". When AJ did, she saw a beautiful small German Sheppard. "Oh my God she's beautiful!" she said. "Leati, when did you get her!?" "Well I got him last week" said Roman. "He's been down at my mom's house and she's been helping me train him a little so far". "Oh I love him!" said AJ. "What should we name him?" "I have no idea" said Roman. "I know" said AJ. "Since these dogs are very great for protection, I'm thinking we should call him Bullet". "That's a good name" said Roman.

"Oh Leati thank you so much!" said AJ. "You're welcome" said Roman. "I just thought that since we've been together for almost 4 months that we'd you know…get a pet". AJ looked up from cuddling their new dog. "Leati this means a lot to me, to us" she said. "Thank you" said Roman. "You're welcome" said AJ as she gave him a kiss. "So he's fully trained?" "There's still a few kinks to work out with him" said Roman. "He's 8 months old and we adopted him from a shelter". "Oh so now I see why you really wanted me to come out today" said AJ. Roman chuckled. "Yes" he said.

"But where's all of the dog supplies?" asked AJ. "I hit it in my closet" said Roman. "Come let's go set up his space". With that, AJ and Bullet followed Roman into their room. She was so happy that Roman was sweet enough to do this for her.
