CHAPTER 77:
The next night, Nikki arrived backstage to cheer on Brie as they were filming "Raw" in Long Beach, California. She entered into Bryan's dressing room in which Brie was sharing with that night. "Hey there sis" said Brie as she gave Nikki a hug. "Looks like someone's beginning to finally show huh?" "Yeah only after 11lbs later" said Nikki as she took a seat on the sofa. "How are you doing Bryan?" "I'm great" said Bryan. "This week is California week and next week is Arizona week". "That's right" said Brie. "We're going to AZ!"
"That's good" said Nikki. "And tomorrow you guys are going to Garden Grove right?" "That's right" said Brie. "So tell us how are you and the baby doing? I know we haven't spoken too much since we left the other day". "The baby is fine" said Nikki. "It's myself I'm worried about". "Do you two need any space to talk?" asked Bryan. "No it's ok Bryan" said Nikki. "You're my family too." "So what is it?" asked Brie. "Remember when I told you that I would joke about the baby's name once I found out what it was?" said Nikki. "Yeah you said Airliner Jet if it was a boy and Kandi Darling if it was a girl" said Brie.
"Yeah well I should have taken this whole pregnancy thing a lot seriously" said Nikki. "Nicole what's going on?" asked Brie. "The baby is breech" said Nikki. "Frank Breech to be exact and I'm going to need a C-section if it doesn't turn in the next 2 months". "Oh my God!" said Brie. "Are you going to be ok?" "Yeah" said Nikki. "Besides it won't ruin my vagina." "Wait you're worried that your vagina will be ruined as oppose to having a C-section?" asked Bryan. "Yeah that's about right" said Nikki. "Oh Nicole I'm so sorry" said Brie. "Thank you I think" said Nikki.
"Well don't keep us in suspense" said Bryan. "Did you find out what you're having?" Nikki smiled. "Yeah" she said. "It's a girl." "Oh my God!" Brie squealed. "I'm gonna have a niece!?" "Yeah you guys are" said Nikki. Brie gave Nikki a hug. "Oh my God Nicole this is so amazing! Does mom know?" "No I wanna keep it a surprise from her until I give birth" said Nikki. "Congratulations Nicole" said Bryan as he gave Nikki a hug. "Thank you" said Nikki as John's theme song began to play.
"Oh wow I didn't know that he even had a match tonight" said Brie. "Me either" said Bryan as the trio sat down and watched John's entrance. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a black infant's onesie which read in green letters his trademark 'You can't see me' phrase before running out into the arena as fans applauded and cheered.
"I know he isn't doing what I think he's doing" said Nikki.
"You know" said John as he began speaking into the mic. "There comes a time and place where a man gets to say he has accomplished one of the most important things there is to accomplish: fatherhood". The fans applauded and cheered even louder with one man shouted loudly "congratulations John!" "Oh my God John and Nikki are going to be having a baby!?" shouted Michael out on commentary. "It appears so" said JBL. "Well no wonder she's been out for so long!" said Jerry. "It all makes perfect sense now!"
"Oh my God!" shouted Nikki angrily. "Nicole what's the matter?" asked Bryan. "I think it was a really nice jester of him to do". "No it wasn't" said Nikki. "He wasn't supposed to tell anyone that-I was next month". "I'm sorry Nikki" said Brie. "I didn't think he'd ever do that without your permission". Nikki was livid. She couldn't believe that John would actually announce her pregnancy the way he did. She patiently waited several minutes until he actually won the match to go after him.
"Nikki wait, don't do it!" said Brie. "Too late" Nikki said through her teeth as she exited the room. She went walking around backstage and was stopped by her coworker Seth. "Congratulations Nicole" he said. "Thank you" Nikki said angrily. "Nikki you sound really mad" said Seth. "You and John should be very happy." "Ok Colby I don't have time for your little chit-chat so why don't you do me a favorite and just-just step aside alright? I'm trying to look for John" said Nikki. "He's headed towards his bus" said Seth. "Thank you" said Nikki as she quickly continued her way. "What is her problem?" Seth asked himself.
After about 10 minutes of walking around backstage she finally found John entering his tour bus and she quickly went in behind him. "John!" she shouted as she walked up the stairs inside. "John I need to talk you right now!" "Nikki you're not supposed to be here" said John. "I am when your ex-fiancé decides to tell the whole world on national TV that their girlfriend is pregnant" said Nikki. "Newsflash Nicole, we're not together and yes I did tell them" said John. "But why John?" asked Nikki. "I wasn't going to tell anyone until next week and you know that."
"It's nothing personal Nikki" said John. "I was just doing some damage control. My PR and Stephanie suggested that I should." "This is unbelievable" said Nikki. "Nicole I'm sorry that I didn't tell you but you haven't exactly been answering my calls or anything" said John. "How could you do this to me?" asked Nikki. John approached Nikki. "I'm sorry" he said. But Nikki had enough which caused her to finally snap all over again
"You're sorry!?" she shouted. "John, you and I have both fucked up but that doesn't mean that you should even be like this to me! Ever since you found out that I was pregnant whether it was yours or not you have completely abandoned me-us! God John even Joe is staying with AJ regardless! You look at me completely different now like I am completely worthless well you know what I'm not worthless John! I am human!" "Nikki…" John trailed off. "I hate you John and I never wanna speak to you again! In fact I hope that this baby isn't even yours!" Nikki shouted.
"Damn it Nicole!" shouted John as he pulled Nikki into a kiss. Their kissing continued until Nikki pulled away. "I…I can't" she said tearfully. "This is all just confusing! I must go". With that Nikki turned around and left John's bus in tears. What they didn't realize was that Seth was standing outside watching from a far as he heard everything.
