The Stamford Sheraton, Downtown Stamford, Connecticut
Bianca Belair lifted her head from the queen-sized bed underneath her but it felt like she had a tonne of bricks weighing her down. The EST could hear a tap running from what had to be the bathroom. Seth Rollins had checked himself and the God Girls into the penthouse suite of the Sheraton. The team decided it was better to attend to Bianca and not go to the emergency team meeting DX had called at WWE HQ. The roster was very concerned about Belair but they trusted Seth and the God Girls to take care of her. The problem was Bianca didn't want to be taken care of. She wanted to go the meeting and confront her husband Montez Ford about his scandalous actions with Rhea Ripley.
"Come on let's go," Bianca said standing to her feet and Becky Lynch blocked the door as Charlotte and Alexa held her back from leaving the beautiful suite.
"There's nothing out there for you that can help you right now Bianca. Everything you need is right in here," Charlotte encouraged her.
"Now we're going to go to the emergency meeting and find out what's going on. Seth's going to stay here with you and we'll be back when the meeting's over," Alexa Bliss said as she and Charlotte helped Bianca back onto the bed.
"I can't be here right now. I wanna come with you!" Bianca yelled as the other God Girls left. Bayley had already gone ahead and she was waiting for Becky, Charlotte and Alexa outside. Bianca threw an extremely soft pillow at the door as the Girls left. She was so frustrated as Seth saw when he opened the bathroom door and saw Bianca scowling like someone just keyed her car.
"Calm down B," Seth said softly and he approached the bed and raised Bianca to a sitting position, then he pressed a warm face towel against her forehead. "Let go of all this anger, I need you to relax and forget about everything that is happening on the other side of that door. Right now, its just you, me and the baby girl growing inside you. I'm a saturate this room with prayer and you're gonna go to sleep in perfect peace,"
Seth wiped the bright red lipstick from Bianca's lips, then removed all of her make up and false eyelashes. As he gently cleansed all the makeup from off her beautiful natural skin, the warm glow of pregnancy shone through her and Seth felt like he was watching a re-run of his first child with Sasha.
"When Sasha was pregnant with Abiyah, she was so irritable, always wanting to throw stuff and I spent most of our pregnancy trying to calm her down. That's what I'm trying a do with you Bianca, in two months you're going to give birth to your first child. I need you to focus on that and not on Tez and whatever crazy thing he's doing with Rhea Ripley, okay?" Seth said softly and Bianca broke into tears at the mention of Rhea Ripley.
"She's my best friend Seth, why is she doing this to me? How could she do me like this?! I wanted her to be my baby's godmother and now she's messing with my man. I'm so hurt my eyes feel like they're going to fall out with all the tears I've been crying but I can't feel no other way. I'm hurting real bad right now," Bianca said and Seth wiped the tears from her face with the hot face towel.
"I know it hurts Bianca but I need you to know that I'm here for you okay? I am here for you. You're not gonna go through this alone. Trust me, I'm a get to the bottom of all of this. You've been there for me more times than I can count, now its time for me to return the favour to you and your baby girl. Now lie down," Seth said and Bianca exhaled as she reclined back onto the plush hotel room bed.
"Why is the water running?" Bianca asked Seth as he untwisted her braid and let her hair out so that it spread all over the soft pillow in giant black waves.
"I was hoping you could have a bath but then the God Girls left so it looks like I'm going to have to leave that for when they get back," Seth said.
"Thanks Seth, that's so sweet of you," Bianca said and she started fidgeting with her top. "Can you turn the air con on its really hot in here,"
Seth pressed the warm cloth against Bianca's chest and she cooled down. As her mood shifted from anxious to relaxed Seth felt his own emotions start to rise. He wanted to know what was going on with Montez Ford and he had a niggling feeling that his wife had something to do with what happened at the airport.
As Bianca relaxed, Seth left her side and went into the bathroom. Instead of letting the water go to waste, he removed his clothes and got in. When Bianca heard the water stop running, she rose up from the bed and left the hotel room. She quickly scurried down to the lobby, hopped in a taxi and headed for WWE HQ hoping that Seth wouldn't be too mad at her when he realised that she was gone. Seth knew Bianca would leave, so when the taxi refused to take her to the meeting, she argued with the driver until Seth came down and pulled her out of the taxi.
"No, I don't want to sleep I want answers. Let me go Seth I want to go to the meeting!" Bianca yelled as Seth tipped the taxi driver.
"Thanks Mr Rollins!" the taxi driver said as Seth waved goodbye to him and carried a furious Bianca Belair back up to the hotel room.
Back in the penthouse suite Seth closed the door and started to pray. Shawl covered his freshly bathed shoulders as he spoke peace over Bianca and seconds later his Treasurer of Secrets was sound asleep. He lay next to her as Shawl covered them both like a canopy and they both slept in the presence of the Lord while the rest of the God Girls found the answers that both Seth and Bianca were looking for at WWE HQ.
An hour later Becky Lynch returned to the hotel to check on Seth Rollins and Bianca Belair.
"ARGHHHH!" Seth and Bianca screamed as a waterfall of ice water came crashing down on them from above courtesy of The Man.
"Becky what the Hell?!" Bianca screamed as Lynch stood over them with her trusty metal ice bucket raised over her head.
"I'm so glad I came back here when I did. I knew you two were vulnerable to that adultery spirit. Why else would you be in bed together?!" Becky said and Seth grabbed the ice bucket from Becky and threw it down on the ground.
"We were sleeping Rebecca!" Seth replied adamantly. "Bianca was trying to get to the meeting but I brought her back and prayed over her. She fell asleep then I fell asleep next to her, we weren't sleeping together we just fell asleep next to each other that's all! Once again you have totally lost your red-headed mind!"
Bianca smiled while squeezing the ice water out of her unbraided hair.
"You know something Bex, I ain't even mad at you," Bianca said.
"Well, I am!" Seth said folding his arms. "My shirt's all wet look what you've done!"
Bianca laid back down, "I actually feel better now, that ice water really hit that spot. Thanks, Bex,"
Becky laughed at Seth, "And you taught I was interfering, now look how relaxed she is. She just needed a little intervention from the Man,"
"Well, I don't need any intervention from The Man, what I need is for The Man to tell me what happened at that meeting," Seth said while ringing the water out of his shirt.
"It's still going on, I left early just to check on you two," Becky said and before Seth could respond she pulled him off the bed and dragged him into the bathroom.
"What are you doing?!" Seth yelled as Becky put a chair in front of the door so he couldn't get out.
"Sorry Seth, this is an emergency. I'll let you out in a minute!" Becky said and she turned back to the bed where the EST had removed her shirt and bra and had fallen asleep topless. She was hot and her bra was too constricting for her to keep on. When pregnant a woman's comfort sometimes over-shadowed any form of social decency but Becky knew that Bianca would never recover if Seth saw her topless.
Becky sprawled Bianca's hair over her chest so that her boobs were hidden under her thick black mane. When she let Seth out of the bathroom, he was furious but she explained her actions by showing Bianca's current appearance and Seth calmed all the way down.
"Oh," Seth said realising what Becky was trying to save him from, "thanks Becky, I really can't handle any more drama. I owe you one,"
"Now can I trust you to keep your pants on while I go back to the meeting?" Becky said and Seth shook his head.
"I'm saved Becky but I'm still a man, so I'm coming with you. Shawl can watch over Bianca and the baby until we get back," Seth said and Becky agreed with his decision not to stay in a room with a very vulnerable EST. Plus, something told Seth that Bianca had very nice boobs and he didn't plan on finding out whether that was true or not today. "Shawl, I'm putting you in charge of this hotel room, watch over Bianca until we get back,"
Seth's prayer Shawl unfurled himself and hovered over Bianca who was fast asleep, dreaming of a world where her marriage was great and she was still friends with Rhea Ripley. Her dream life however was nothing like her real life and it wouldn't be for a very long time. Montez Ford was living his best life now as Seth and the rest of the God Girls were about to find out firsthand.
The Boardroom, WWE HQ
Roman Reigns mouth dropped as the very married Montez Ford pawed Rhea Ripley in full view of the rest of the roster while DX and Beth Hardy looked on. Social media had been on fire and now the message posts were starting to get aggressive in tone, forcing the WWE PR department to step in.
"Bianca Belair's fans are starting to send Rhea death threats, I'm genuinely concerned for your safety now," Shawn Michaels said to Rhea and Montez Ford.
"The fans can do what they want, I'm happy. We're both happy right Rhea?" Montez Ford said softly to the former Women's Champion and she smiled into his handsome face while the rest of the roster stood around bemused.
"That's right Tez. I've got fans of my own I mean, who wouldn't want to be with me? There's not a man in this room who wouldn't trade places with Tez right now, you're just to afraid to admit it," Rhea said and Charlotte turned to Bayley and Alexa.
"This is such crap, obviously there's something else going on and we need to get to the bottom of it," she said.
"It's hard to find out what they're really up to without Bianca, she's the one who hears from God and she's heartbroken right now," Alexa Bliss said.
"My daughter said she saw you in Texas, what were you doing there?" Shawn Michaels asked Montez and Rhea.
"We go wherever the Hell we want and right now, it looks like Montez Ford is going to the top of the wrestling business," Ford responded and he got up and walked over to Roman Reigns. "So, let's talk about it Big Dog, Tribal Chief, whatever the Hell you wanna call yourself these days. How about you give me a shot at that Undisputed Championship at Survivor Series?"
Roman Reigns laughed, "That shot goes to Finn Balor, the match is already set, right Beth?" Roman asked Beth Hardy.
"Yeah, it is," Beth Hardy replied looking Tez up and down, "but I don't see why we can't make it a Triple Threat?"
"What?!" Roman yelled horrified. "That wasn't the plan!"
"You have got to be kidding me?" Finn Balor yelled.
"Stay out of this Balor," Montez Ford said forcefully. "Beth knows a good thing when she sees it and I'm it, so get used to it brother and Roman, you need to prepare for the match of your life!"
"Are you going to reward his behaviour with a title shot?" Roman Reigns asked Beth concerned ignoring Tez's sudden bravado. "I mean, what does that say to the rest of the locker room about how we conduct ourselves around here?"
"I think it says pretty much the same thing that you said when you used your political clout to screw Rhea out her Women's Championship at Summerslam," Montez Ford replied and Rhea nodded. "Face it Roman, you don't have a dog in this fight and neither do you Finn Balor. That Championship is coming home to me and I will be the next Head of the Table!"
"You don't even give a damn about your wife, out here acting like a pimp on steroids!" Seth Rollins yelled and he turned to Beth Hardy fiercely causing everyone to look at him in shock. Seth never talked during roster meetings, mostly because he always let Beth get on with it and approved of most of her booking decisions. This time however, with everything that had happened since July, he could not be silent and he had to speak up for his go-to God Girl and Treasurer of Secrets. "Take him out of the match and put Finn back in, with me,"
The locker room gasped, Seth had just pulled a power move knowing that there would be more interest in a match with two members of the former Shield and Finn Balor from the Judgement Day, than there would be with a Street Profit. At least that's what everyone had previously thought to be the case but social media had been on fire with image after image of Montez Ford with the most powerful and respected women in pro wrestling, first Sasha Banks and now Rhea Ripley. He was coming across as a legit player in the Ric Flair style of good-looking playboy and whether true or not, it was all anyone was talking about.
"I have to say this is the most excited I've been about a men's singles match in a long time," Beth Hardy said. "I don't know what's going on with you and Bianca but I know that you're happy for people to pay to boo you. My mother always said the trick to being a good heel is to not care what people think and you've accomplished that today, Mr Ford. Therefore, the match for the Undisputed Championship at Survivor Series will now be Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor vs Montez Ford,"
Yes!" Montez Ford cheered and he hugged and kissed Rhea Ripley while Liv Morgan and the rest of the women's locker room looked on with disgust.
"And who wins the match?" Roman asked Beth as the roster descended into its own little conversation about the match.
"I'll make that decision closer to the time, right now I'm making the change and I want all of you to get on board with it. I want your promos to be fire as I will be considering it for the main event," Beth Hardy said looking at Rhea and Liv. "There's another match that I'm also considering closing out Survivor Series but I need to know if you guys are willing to put your personal feelings aside so that the match can happen,"
"No, I can't," Liv said and she removed the Women's Championship from around her waist. "Roman's right, what kind of message are you trying to send Beth Hardy? That we can screw each other over and be rewarded with a Championship match and a main event spot at a big-time show?"
"I didn't see you worrying about losing any moral ground when you agreed to work with Roman Reigns?" Beth Hardy replied with her arms crossed unimpressed by Liv's objection to her booking decision. "Summerslam was supposed to end with Rhea retaining the Women's Championship and I changed it for you because Roman said he'd work with you as the Champion. Now you want me to look down my nose at what Tez and Rhea are doing to Bianca? I'm a businesswoman Liv Morgan and you know what, I just made another business decision. I'm canning your run with the Bloodline. On Friday Night Smackdown, I'm putting you in an impromptu title match for the Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair,"
Liv Morgan's face turned white, "What about Survivor Series?" she said tearing up.
"It'll be Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss for the Women's Championship," Beth said as Liv cried over the title, "that'll teach you not to be a hypocrite. Congratulations Rhea, I'm making you the Women's Champion again,"
"Yes!" Rhea said in celebration with Tez. "You really do know what's best for business Beth Hardy!"
"Yes, I do," Beth Hardy said as Liv cried with remorse at losing her Championship so soon after just winning it.
"No, she doesn't," Hunter said. "I do not approve of your decisions today Beth and Shawn and I will not sign off on this card until we discuss these title changes that you've proposed,"
"Oh go suck face with my mother," Beth spat at Hunter with disdain, "I'm still running this ship and I don't need to hear the opinion of a man that is trying to break up my family. You're in no position to tell me or this roster what's right and what's wrong. You put my father through Hell when you kissed my mother in the court room back in DC, so as far as I'm concerned you can go there too! You both deserve each other!"
The God Girls gave Hunter a knowing look while the other women tried to comfort Liv Morgan.
"Steph and Hunter will have a lot of company in Hell because that's exactly where you're going Rhea Ripley, so take that cocky smirk off of your face!" Liv Morgan yelled while Rhea and Montez Ford continued to embrace each other without shame or regard for what anyone thought.
"I think that meeting went very well, don't you?" Rhea said to Tez who nodded in agreement with her as the roster looked on disgusted as they made out again, with the exception of the God Girls who were more interested in what Rhea and Tez were doing in Texas than what they were doing right now.
"Is your daughter still in Texas?" Becky asked Shawn Michaels who nodded.
"Yeah, but she's on her way to the Sandbox, she said there's something really important that she wants to tell me," Shawn said. "Do you think it might have something to do with what's going on with Tez and Rhea?"
"This is bigger than what's going on with Tez and Rhea," Becky said looking at Beth Hardy and seeing the same venom in her eyes that she saw in Shane McMahon's when he lost his inheritance and the DX family jewels. Becky turned to Seth urgently, "I don't think we can wait for Bianca to feel better. We have to get to the Sandbox and find out why Montez Ford was in Texas. Something tells me that this assignment is not at the end point yet,"
"No, we can't do anything without Bianca. We go back to the hotel and we wait for her to feel better, then we'll make our next move," Seth said and Becky looked at the leader of the God Girls closely.
"Seth you're shaking," she said. "I haven't seen you like this in years,"
"That's why I need her Becky, I need the EST. I can't do this without her, none of us can. We're going back to the hotel," Seth said emotionally and Becky nodded. Judging from Seth's rising emotion, it was clear that the Prayer Warrior was struggling with his addition to the Undisputed Championship match. Sasha Banks on the other hand had never been prouder of him and of herself. Things were going according to the new McMahon's heiress' plan but the God Girls didn't know anything about it.
"Walk away Becky," Sasha said shooing away the Irish lass kicker, "I need to talk to my husband alone,"
Becky went over to talk to the other God Girls and Seth wanted to do the same. His wife was making him inexplicably nauseous and he needed to be with the God Girls right now. "I know you're the one behind all this," Seth said as Sasha stroked his hair enjoying the touch and smell of it.
"You smell so good," she said affectionately. "I feel like I haven't seen you all day, which is a crime when your husband is as fine as mine is,"
"You haven't seen me because I've been putting out the fires that you started. You did something before we left Florida, what was it, Sasha? I need to know because I might have to undo it before one of us gets hurt, even more than some of us already are," Seth said firmly and he leaned in to his wife and held her tight, his fingers pressing into her waist like he was holding on for dear life, the life of his marriage was coding. "Who did you talk to behind my back Sasha? What plans did you make without telling me?"
Sasha swept her well-manicured hand across her husband's jawline and kissed him gently on the lips that were trembling with a sudden disturbance brought on by the fact that his wife was up to no good once again.
"All shall be revealed in time my love. The Boss is in control," she replied and she took Seth out of the boardroom discreetly as Becky Lynch looked on, wishing she had brought her trusty ice bucket with her. But she had no real reason to get involved in Seth and Sasha's marriage, after all, she had a husband of her own to attend to and that's exactly what she decided to do.
"Where we going?" Finn asked Becky as they too left the boardroom without drawing any attention to themselves. Becky whisked Finn away to a quiet office and closed the door behind them.
"We need to work together for once," Becky said removing Finn's jacket and she kissed him passionately. "If our marriage works, maybe then we can save everyone else's,"
"I'm not interested in saving anyone's marriage Rebecca. If you want out of this just say the word and I'll bounce. Don't be with me unless you want to be, you're under no obligation to stay with me. Marriage is not a prison; you can leave anytime," Finn said sombrely as Becky continued to remove his clothes.
"It is for some people Finn but not for us, now shut your gorgeous mouth for once and kiss me like you did when love was all that mattered," Becky said and Finn pushed her away but pushing Becky away never stopped her before and she pulled him back and kissed him down to the ground. "Did you forget how good I am at this?" she said and Finn closed his eyes and started to remember how good she was at this.
"I'm starting to remember," he replied and they made love suddenly after which Finn rededicated himself to the one he couldn't say no to, at least for one more day. Just hours before they reconnected, Finn's mother had asked him why they were still married even though they never saw each other. His response was the same then as it was right now. Because when Becky Lynch gets on top of you, it is impossible to get her off. His mother thought he was being rude and she told him off for using that sort of language in front of her. He could only imagine her response if she knew what he and Becky were doing right now in the middle of an office during the day.
"I love you Finn," Becky said breathlessly as they collapsed on the ground after making love together. "I want this marriage to work. Can you hang in there and not get mad when I do God Girl stuff?"
"How can I be mad at you after that?" Finn replied relishing the love they just made in what had been a very dry spell for the married couple.
"Finn I'm serious, I need to know you're in this for the long haul. Can you handle being married to a God Girl?" Becky asked Finn as he looked up at the office ceiling fan with a satisfied smile on his face.
"I don't think anyone can handle being married to a God Girl Rebecca. I mean, look at Bianca and Tez and look at everything Sasha and Seth have been through?" Finn replied and he turned on his side and put his arm on Becky's hip and she looked into his strong Irish eyes as he spoke. "Maybe the question you should be asking is not whether I can handle being married to a God Girl. Maybe the question you should be asking is whether God Girls can handle marriage. Because I think it's pretty clear that when it comes to the God Girls, the only man you give a damn about is Seth Rollins and there isn't a man in this business that can handle that,"
"Being a God Girl is bigger than Seth Rollins, its bigger than all of us. Together we brought down Shane McMahon and saved the DX legacy, imagine what else we could do if we keep going? I need you to be excited about that, I want you to love being my man. I could make love to any man I want and I chose to be with you instead, doesn't that tell you that I think you're pretty special Finn Balor?" Becky said sincerely and Finn blushed.
"I love you Rebecca but I've always loved you and that will never change whether you're a God Girl or not," Finn replied and Becky shook her head confused by his response.
"So can you handle being married to me as a God Girl or not?" she asked for clarity and Finn bit is bottom lip and gave her an amorous smile that brought Becky's thoughts in line with his.
"Let's see how long you stay on top of me for this time," he replied and he pulled Becky on top of him as he kissed her violently. Finn and Becky locked themselves into each other, both physically and spiritually as the rest of the workforce broke for lunch. Across from the boardroom however, in a different office, another married couple had drawn even further apart.
"I got your message," Bianca Belair said as she stood at the office door with Shawl over her shoulders looking fully rested and restored to her God Girl glory, while Seth Rollins sat crestfallen on the floor by the office filing cabinets.
"It's over," he wept and Bianca sat down next to him and held his hands. "My marriage is over,"
"Hush now its not over, I'm back Seth and I'm a fix this for you and Sasha. Now what did she tell you happened in Texas?" Bianca said consoling the leader of the God Girls.
"She didn't tell me anything, that's how I know its over," Seth replied his face crumbling with painful tears, "I kept asking her if she had anything to do with what Montez Ford did at the airport and she kept telling me to relax and that all was well,"
"Well, did you think that maybe she's telling the truth and that all is well?" Bianca said hopefully but Seth shook his head that nothing could be further than the truth.
"Bianca, the same spirit that is operating in Tez is operating in Sasha and they are both trying to hurt the God Girls. It's the same spirit that I've been warring against for years. Sasha's up to no good again but this time its different," Seth said. "My wife is plotting against me and I know Shane McMahon is involved somehow. Has God told you anything?"
"Only that Rhea Ripley is being manipulated and I need to be here but not just for myself. Seth you're scared of something that ain't gonna happen. Haven't you learned by now that no matter what happens, you and Sasha will always be together?" Bianca said and Seth took a deep breath and pressed Bianca's hands to his lips and kissed them.
"When it comes to the God Girls, I only have one goal and that's making sure you all finish this assignment. I will stop at nothing to make sure that happens and I will not lose you or Becky, or Charlotte or Alexa or Bayley on the battlefield," Seth vowed and he kissed Bianca's pregnant stomach and then rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes prayerfully. "I'm so glad you're back Bianca,"
Seth hugged Bianca as she stroked the side of his head lovingly, the joy and love of the Lord filling her belly and she smiled with gratitude for the restoration of her health and the life of the baby in her womb.
"Me too Seth," she replied in perfect peace only to hear the sound of Becky Lynch and Finn Balor making raucous love somewhere not private and she giggled at the Man's own attempt to save her damaged marriage, "Oh what Becky would say if she knew I was in here with you alone like this," Bianca said and Seth shrugged nonchalantly.
"At least you're not topless," he replied and Bianca didn't know what he was referring to but Seth knew only Becky would get the reference. "Nevermind," he said chuckling to himself while Bianca wondered how long they should let Becky stay on top of Finn before Seth and the God Girls went back to work. The EST had brought a hotel ice bucket filled with water with her and it had Becky's name all over it and the contents of the bucket would be all over Finn and Becky in the next fifteen minutes.
What did Seth mean by that? Bianca thought to herself nervously. It was now vital to the EST to find out why her being topless was such a bad thing. And if there was anyone, she could trust to tell her why she was suddenly so undesirable, it was Seth Rollins. Seth was head-over-heels in love with Sasha Banks and he was a man of God. What difference would it make if he saw her topless, if wouldn't affect him, Bianca reasoned. All of her insecure thoughts about herself did was prove that Becky's assertion that the spirit of adultery was moving around her was well founded and the Man would need to intervene once again on Seth and Bianca's behalf, but she needed a little more time with Finn before she and her ice bucket went back to work.
