CHAPTER 58:
5 more days had passed and it was now March 31rst when everyone was preparing to film live on "Raw". Nikki walked in with Brie at around 5:30PM in order to start getting ready for the taping as a camera crew from their "Total Divas" show followed him.
"I'm super excited to be in Hawaii, aren't you?" asked Nikki as she pulled her luggage behind her. "Absolutely" said Brie. "Especially when we get to go live". "Too bad it's our last show in here" said Nikki. "So tell me what's the surprise you have decided to give John?" asked Brie as they entered into the locker room.
"Oh all I can say that it's something he's been eyeing for months" said Nikki. "And now that I can be able to buy him anything he wants now". "Ooh you won't tell me?" asked Brie as she began to get undressed. "Brie it's a surprise and I don't wanna risk spoiling it" said Nikki. "Jeez don't you know that I'm a pretty good secret keeper by now?" asked Brie as she continued changing her clothes.
"Pretty much" said Nikki. "But I just don't wanna risk it. I wanna give to him right before he goes on". "Ooh isn't he first tonight?" asked Brie. "Yeah, so I said for him to text me once he arrives here" said Nikki as she began to change into her outfit as well. "Well I'm ready" said Brie. "Now all I need is hair and makeup. What time does he get here?"
"Boy to you change fast" said Nikki as she sat down. "And he gets here at 7". "That's pretty late Nicole" said Brie as she looked at her butt in the mirror. "Ok well Ima be back in a few". Brie left her sister when she accidentally walked into AJ and Tamina.
"Hey you guys, are you ready?" she asked. "Well actually I don't have a match tonight, surprisingly" said AJ. "I'm just gonna be out on commentary again, reacting to my defending of the title". "Oh ok that's cool" said Brie. "AJ, how are you feeling?" "I'm better than great" AJ lied. "Ok well I'm glad to hear that. I'll see you later" said Brie as she walked away.
"Come Tamina, let's go get dressed" said AJ. "Uh wait, slow down there girl" said Tamina. "What's this about you not feeling good huh?" "Tamina I'm fine" said AJ. "I promise. It's just a little stomach bug that's all. But it's gone". "Really?" said Tamina. "Yeah, really" said AJ. "April I know when something's bothering you" said Tamina. "You've been running away from all of your opponents you've faced this past weekend. Something's up with you and I know it".
"I promise you that nothing's wrong with me" said AJ. "But girl I have known you for years" said Tamina. "We are best friends". AJ sighed as she looked down at her shoes. "Come on, let's go outside" she said as she lead Tamina out the back. After walking for several minutes, she stopped and decided to enter into an elevator. "Why are we taking an elevator?" asked Tamina. "The backdoor is just around the corner." "Because I don't wanna take any chances" said AJ as she pressed the emergency stop button. "My God April, what the hell are you doing!?" an irritated Tamina asked. "Now we're gonna be stuck between floors".
"I know" said AJ. "But only for a few minutes". "Girl ok what is up with you?" asked Tamina. "Listen Tamina" said AJ. "I need you to promise me that you'll keep whatever I'll say to you a secret". "Yeah of course" said Tamina. "I know that you can trust me with anything". AJ sighed as she slowly slid down to take a seat on the floor. Tamina sat down next to her.
"I'm all yours" she said. AJ took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant" she said. "I am pregnant". Tamina's eyes widened. "Girl what the fuck do you mean that you're pregnant!?" "Shh, please don't shout" said AJ. "April, how in the world did this happen? Weren't you and Joe being careful at all?" said Tamina. AJ quickly turned around to face her.
"What's wrong?" asked Tamina. AJ sighed again. "Tamina I-I don't even know if this is his baby" she said. "Oh my God April!" said Tamina. "What the hell happened!?" "I dunno, it was 30 days ago and John came over because Leati had asked him to watch me while he was up in Portland and we played a stupid drinking game and one thing lead to another and….I…just, just everything faded out" said AJ.
"AJ, so are you telling me that the baby is possibly John's?" asked Tamina. "Yeah" said AJ. "Even though I slept with Leati earlier that day before he had left to catch his flight". "So what a minute, John as in John Cena?" said Tamina. "John Cena as in Nikki's John Cena?" "Yes" said AJ. "I guess you can pretty much say that I have officially given Nikki a legitimate reason to hate me now". "April, how could you let that happen?" asked Tamina. "It was a really stupid thing that I did and I know that" said AJ.
"You gotta tell him" said Tamina. "Both of them". "I can't" said AJ. "I don't know how". She began to tear up. "April it's going to be ok" said Tamina. "How is it going to be ok?" asked April. "I'm going to have to give up my Championship, not to mention I'm gonna have to fight all of you guys in the ring". "Baby you can't fight when you're a month pregnant" said Tamina. "It's not safe to".
"I have an idea" said AJ. "What if I just throw the match?" "AJ, now you're just talking crazy now" said Tamina. "Well I'm supposed to win on Sunday anyway" said AJ. "Really so how are you gonna wrestle while pregnant!? Do you even hear yourself right now?" "I do" said AJ. "But I have to think of something because if I win, then I have that match with Paige the very next day."
"And?" asked Tamina. "And I'm supposed to beat her" said AJ. "Then the only thing left to do is tell Stephanie" said Tamina. "But if I do, Ima get fired". "Ok you've really lost your mind" said Tamina as she stood up. "April Mendez, you're going to have to do the right thing and I know you do". AJ stood up to join Tamina. "Come on, I better go see about if I can talk to Stephanie" she said. Tamina gave AJ a huge. "It's going to be ok, I promise" she said. "I promise".
"Yeah well I hope so" said AJ. "Come let's get out of here". With that the two went back upstairs to continue on with the rest of their day.
