Anyone still reading? Reviews are down... Reading is down... I'm trying my best to keep updating, but life is giving me hard times these days. Even though I'm going through some things, writing is my way to escape... I hope you enjoy. Don't forget to leave some positive feedback on your thoughts and feelings, it all welcomed.
"How is it that you're still so small?" Rosa asked from where she was squatting her life away
"Small? I've gained like seven more pounds already." Yelena huffed. The Boflex Treadclimber was really taking a lot out of her. Sweat was gathering at the neck of the thin cami she was wearing and her calfs were burning like hell. She had only been on it for twenty minutes and burned over a hundred calories
"You still look so great. I hope I look half as good as you when I'm pregnant."
"Yeah, well I'd kill to trade with you right now." Yelena told her jealousy. Rosa was in the best shape she had ever been. Her arms and legs toned to perfection, her stomach taunt and flat. Yelena on the other hand; Well, she was ballooning by the second.
"Thanks. I got a new nutritionist and her dietary plans are working wonders." she beamed proudly as she finished her last set and glanced at the time "We should get going so we can grab a bite to eat before your appointment."
Yelena pulled the key on the machine and it slowly came to a stop before hopping off "I'm still bummed that you can't come with me you bitch." she joked, wiping her sweaty face
"Sorry. I'm training with Finlay, I can't cancel with him, I've been trying to get a session in with him for months"
"I know, I'm just messing. I just hate going in alone, you know?" she admitted as they exited Gold's Gym, blinded by the sun.
"I know. I've been to almost every check up with you. I'm starting to think your OB/GYN thinks we're a lesbian couple."
"She so does." Yelena grinned as they got in the truck. She buckled up and dug her phone out of her gym bag to check her messages.
"I'm really sorry I can't be there. How about you pick where we go for lunch. My treat."
"You really shouldn't tell a pregnant woman that, now it's going to cost you."
They ended up at a Steak and Shake, where Yelena took advantage of the bottomless fries she got with her double cheese burger and chocolate malt. When she was good and full, Rosa dropped her off in front of her house
"We still on for pedicures later this week?" The Diva called from behind the wheel.
"Yeah, I'll call you. Go before you're late and Finaly makes you do suicide until you puke." She waved, heading up her driveway
Just as Rosa pulled off with a honk of her horn, Yelena began to root around for her keys in her her MK bag. Not hearing anything rattling together as her fingers touched the bottom, she began to panic.
"FML." she muttered, remembering that she had left them in her downstairs bathroom. Her bladder was becoming a curse. She could never walk past a bathroom without the urge to go creeping up on her.
Just the thought of her keys in a bathroom brought about the tingling of her bladder. Which she could not relieve due to the fact that they would most likely ask her for a urine sample when she arrived for her appointment. She glanced at the time in her phone. If she didn't get going soon, she would be late. Tapping her foot to distract herself from the pressure on her lower abdomen, she thought for a minute. Rosa couldn't possibly turn around and come get her. Roman, Seth, and Dean were gone, so that only left...
She practically sprinted the short distance off her front porch and down the sidewalk. Four doors down, she thanked the gods that Wade's SUV was in his driveway. She rang his doorbell once, hoping that he wasn't asleep. She heard footsteps thundering down the stairs and the door swung open, revealing a shirtless Wade in jeans.
She tried not to let it phase her. How many times had she seen him in less in the ring? But he was in better shape than she recollected. More time in the gym while he was off, she couldn't help but notice the way the band of his Calvin Klein underwear peaked out from the top of his jeans.
"Yelena," he greeted "Hey."
Oh god, she was staring "Um, hey. Are you busy?" she smiled, nervously
"No, not at the moment, why?" he cocked a brow
"I kind of locked myself out of my house and I have a doctor's appointment in thirty minutes."
She didn't have to say anymore.
"I'll drive you." Wade nodded "Come in, I'll go put on a shirt." He said, holding the door open for her. She stepped into the refreshing AC as he shut the door and climbed the stairs.
It was her first time being in his place and she was surprised by how clean it was for a bachelor pad. A basket of clothes were on the couch, a gym bag tossed carelessly on the floor, and a few cookies and cream Quest Nutrition bar wrappers where on the coffee table, but other than that, it was fairly clean.
A twitch in her bladder made her shift uneasily from foot to foot and she crossed her legs, bouncing up and down
"You alright?" She had crossed her legs and was bouncing up and down when Wade came back down the stairs
She turned, smiling embarrassingly at the look of amusement on his face "I have to pee and I can't until I get there."
"Should I put plastic down in the car?" He joked as he grabbed his keys
She playfully shoved him "Shut up."
She called the office on her way, to let them know that she would be stopping by to pick up the spare to her place when she returned and they arrived just in time to check in.
"Yelena?" a nurse called seconds later
She turned to Wade "Do you want to come?" she asked, noticing how out of place his large frame looked in the waiting room
"Should I?" he asked
"Unless you want to be gawked at by the mothers in here while I'm gone." She said, nodding her head towards the group of women shamelessly ogling him
He stood and followed her, not needing any more convincing
She greeted the nurse and followed her to the back where she was handed a small plastic cup that she had never been so happy to see in her life.
Relieving herself and washing her hands, they went into a room where her vitals were taken, blood drawn and she was weighed. She had to get tested to make sure her baby didn't have Down Syndrome or Spina Bifida before being settled in to wait for Dr. Westbrook.
"She'll be in to see you in just a moment." The nurse told her on her way out.
"How do you deal with being poked and prodded like that? It looks annoying." Wade said once the door closed
They chatted while they waited and after about ten minutes, Dr. Westbrook came strolling in and looked surprised to see the very large male taking up the left side of the examining table.
"Hello, Yelena." She said, shaking the expectant woman's hand "How are you feeling?"
Yelena was always happy to see the doctor. She was a funny woman with a sailor's mouth brutally honest. "I'm doing okay."
"Good good. Why don't you lie back so we can get this started."
She did as she was told
"Is this dad?" The doctor asked, smiling kindly at Wade "He's a stud."
"No no! He's.. Just a good friend." She stammered, her cheeks growing warm
She started to second guess inviting him back with her. She should have known her doctor would put her on the spot.
"Well that's a pity. Your kid would have been a lady killer." She said, sending a wink towards the Englishman. She pulled out a tape measure and ran it vertically down her stomach.
"Hmmm..." The doctor said, jotting down the number
"Something wrong?" Yelena asked
"You haven't grown that much since the last time you were here and your weight is still pretty low for sixteen weeks. Are you eating okay? Getting enough rest?"
Wade met her eye and nodded for her to tell the doctor
"I've been eating fine. Haven't been getting much sleep though. My brain gets a bit active past midnight."
Dr. Westbrook wrote everything down "You have to get enough rest honey, your body needs it. This could become a problem further into your pregnancy if you don't. No sleep means stress and that's not good for the baby."
She gave her a long list of things to do to help her sleep better and they continued on with a bunch of other questions before a nurse brought in the sonogram machine and handed her a paper gown.
She went into the bathroom and changed, settling back on the table.
The nurse turned out the lights and Dr. Westbrook squirted the cold gel on her stomach before pressing the wand to her lower abdomen
"Annnnnd..." the doctor said "There's the heart beat."
The room then filled with the quick paced drumming and a wide smile spread across her face.
"And there's your baby." She said, turning the screen towards her
Yelena and Wade stared up at the screen and she fought back the moisture in her eyes. There he was. The very thing that changed her life so drastically. Her baby. The life that she and Chris created. She almost forgot how to breathe as she looked at the small living breathing life. It was amazing how much the small features and limbs had developed since the last time she saw it.
Wade lightly touched her hand to comfort her "You okay?"
She nodded, wiping her eyes "It's so small." She said in awe "Can we tell what it is?" she asked, her heart pining with excitement, which surprised her
Dr. Westbrook moved the wand around to try and get a better angle, but the small fetus was curled up into a ball
She tried wiggling it gently to stir the baby into shifting, but it wasn't having it "He's not giving us a peek at the goods. We'll try again next time."
She sighed "Kid takes after his daddy already." she muttered
Wade let out a chuckle
"Have you felt any movement yet?" the doctor asked as she wiped the goo from her stomach and helped her sit up
"Not yet... Is that bad?" Yelena asked
"No, nothing for you to be worried about. All in due time. When you do start feeling some movement, write the date down and let me know next time you come in. He'll be moving around and doing backflips and making you miserable soon enough." She said, turning the lights back on.
She loved the fact that the doctor called him a a "he" as well. She had told her that she would wish for whatever Yelena wanted the baby to be.
Yelena changed back into her clothes and the doctor sent her on her way, telling her to take her ass to bed
"Sorry about that back there." she said as they were heading home
"Don't worry about it. I knew she would assume. I'm glad I could be there with you ."
"Me too. Thanks again for taking me so last minute."
"No problem, love." He reached over and stroked the back of her hand lightly before turning back to the road
She ignored the small jolt that ran up her whole arm from his touch.
They stopped by the office to pick up the key and he pulled into her driveway "I was going to catch Money in the Bank tonight. You want to come over?"
"That's tonight already? Yeah sure. Let me just go shower and change and I'll be right over."
He nodded and she got out, waving as she unlocked her door. She went to feed Bane and give him water before heading to the shower.
Pulling on a pair of distressed jeans that on the brink of not fitting paired with a simple Captain America t-shirt and her comfy knit slippers, she threw her ink black hair up into a careless bun and ventured back over to Wade's abode, where he was waiting for her.
They settled in on the couch in front of the TV with two large pizzas as the pay-per-view started out with the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match. Yelena felt giddy, her eyes glued to the TV the whole show. She felt a small smile creep into her face when AJ retained her title against Kaitlyn. What a long way both Divas had come.
A sense of nervousness jolted through her when Chris came out for his match against Ryback. He looked fantastic out there, no sign of ring rust or over exertions. He was making Ryback look damn good.
His physique wasn't looking to bad either.
She had to catch herself. Wait, what was she doing? She found herself blanking out during most of the match, her eyes only focused to the Canadian. He looked so alive out there. Happy: Like he didn't have a care or worry in the world.
Her chest tightened the slightest bit
Shifting to cross her legs, she fidgeted with the sunflower pendant around her neck, an all to familiar ache creeping through her chest.
"Alight over there?"
She tore her eyes away from the television and over to the Brit sitting next to her "Yeah, I'm fine." she half lied "I... I'm okay."
She tried to sit still for the remainder of the match, but she couldn't. Thank god her bladder saved the day. She excused herself and slipped into the downstairs bathroom. Peeing and washing her hands, her wired expression caught her attention in the oval shaped mirror. She let out a sigh, clutching the corners of the sink, her green eyes staring warily back at her.
Funny how Chris could have this affect on her from so far away.
She hadn't realized how long she had been stalling until a soft knock sounded on the door.
"If this is making you uncomfortable, we can turn it off. I'll catch it later."
"No, no." She said, turning in the faucet to wash her hands "It's fine... I'm just... A little bit more overwhelmed than I thought I would be." She admitted honestly.
Exiting the bathroom, she followed the Brit back to the couch "He's not even here and I'm..." she trailed, at a lost for words at her feelings "Forgive me. Pregnancy brain, I guess."
Ryback's hand was raised in victory and she averted her eyes away from Chris, who was stirring in the middle of the ring.
"He's not as together as he seems. If that means anything to you."
She smiled sadly at him "He's doing a damn good job at faking it."
"You'd know for sure if you'd speak to him. I'm sure you both have a lot to discuss."
She caressed the round of her stomach "I can't."
"Why not? No time like the present." Wade offered
"He'll never forgive me."
"I disagree. I think he would like to know he has a child out there."
She chuckled "There's more to it than you think Wade."
He reached for the remote and paused the TV. "So tell me."
She inhaled deeply before launching into the story she had been holding in for months. How she had found out she was pregnant and made the decision to not go through with it, only to have Chris find out and blow up at her for making the decision to end it without even telling him and how she cracked under the pressure of it all and quit her job, moved out of state, and somehow couldn't go through with the abortion.
Yelena had to admit, it felt good to tell someone on the outside looking in.
"That's a lot of stress on one person." he sighed after she was finished
"Now you see why he'll never forgive me?"
"I'm sure he'll understand. You can't make the decision for him."
"I thought I was doing what was right for the both of us. I mean look at our history. We didn't exactly start off on the right foot to begin with. Chris did and said a lot of hurtful things to me. I've done things that I'm not proud of and looks how far it's gotten me." she said angrily, motioning towards her swollen belly "Pregnant by a man who is incapable of loving me."
Wade pulled her against his chest "I'm sorry. I can clearly see that this is a very touchy subject with you and I didn't mean to open old wounds, love."
She let her tears fall freely "As you can see, they aren't all that old." she said, burying her face in his shirt. A sob ran through her chest "He couldn't even say it. After everything he put me through. He destroyed everything. I could have been happy with Randy, but now my life is a nightmare and he couldn't even tell me he loved me." she wept. The look on his face when she demanded to know if he loved her or not would forever be etched into her brain.
Wade held her tighter "I'm sorry. I wish I could take the pain away. "
"You know sometimes I wish I could hate him. I wish I'd never met him, but then I remember that this baby is a part of him. And despite him, I could never hate my child, but I resent him for ruining me."
"Don't say that. He didn't ruin you. You're a good person. You're a beautiful, selfless woman with a genuine heart. Don't you ever let a man make you feel like you're broken because of him. He doesn't deserve to have that power over you." Wade told her, wiping her tear stained face with his thumb "Any man would be lucky to have you. Chris is a damn fool and I'll remind him of it every chance I get."
She looked into his caring blue eyes, her heart skipping a beat at how close they were "You... think I'm beautiful?" She whispered
"I'd be an idiot not to." He whispered back. He caressed her cheek gently with the back of his hand
She leaned into his touch, her hands reaching out, settling on his shoulders as their faces inched closer and closer, waiting to see who would take it there.
It was her.
She leaned in and kissed him gently, as if to test his reaction. He pulled her closer, his hands drifting downward to her waist as he deepened the kiss, slipping his tongue into her mouth
Yelena let out a slight moan in satisfaction, locking her fingers around his neck.
He pushed her down gently onto her back on the soft couch, grinning "I've been wondering what kissing you would be like."
She grinned up at him before taking a handful of his shirt and pulling him down to her where they're lips collided, the sounds of their heavy breathing and moans echoing off the walls.
Yelena locked a leg around his waists as he attached her neck hungrily, finding her weak spot
"Mmmm." She hummed, biting her lip. Her senses were extremely heightened, her body crying out with need. She ran her hands underneath his shirt before she practically tore it off of him and he let out a growl when her hands met his belt buckle, undoing it in seconds.
She lifted her head to do her own damage to his next as her small hand disappeared him to his jeans and past the band of his briefs
He let out a hiss as her her hand wrapped around him and he dropped his head into the crook of her neck
"God, you're huge." she breathed into his ear.
He grunted, knocking her hand away before popping the button of her jeans. She lifted her hips and helped him slide them off. He caught her leg, kissing behind her knee.
She let out a guttural moan, the jolt of pleasure making her spine tingle
Her shirt came off next and she skillfully got him on his back, switching their positions. She kissed him lightly, slow and teasing, her hair falling into her face.
Wade reached up and freed her dark hair from the elastic, watching in awe as she shook it out, falling in waves around her.
"Absolutely beautiful." he said, sitting up to kiss her
She wrapped her legs around him, grinding herself against his manhood. There was only his briefs, his pants, and her thin lace boy shorts in between them and what they both obviously wanted
Or so she thought.
"Yelena..." He breathed heavily, practically panting now. The strap of her bra hand fallen, tempting him with her bare flesh and he couldn't resist grazing in lightly with his teeth
"No, don't say my name like that." She whined, winding her fingers through his hair "Please tell me you're not going to stop me. I might just explode."
"Would it make you feel better if I said I was stopping myself instead?"
"No." she admitted, climbing off his lap and reaching for her shirt off the floor. "I should go." She said, embarrassment reddening her face as she held her shirt to her chest
"Please understand that I did not, by any means, want to stop what was going on here."
"Then why did you?" She asked defensively. Shame was building by the second and she felt like an idiot for throwing herself at him because he gave her a silly compliment
"Because I know that if we crossed that line, there was no way I was going to want to be just your friend afterwards."
She considered his words. He was right. There was a point of no return they were racing to and she had to remember that it wasn't just about her anymore. She was sort of a package deal now. A package deal that she knew he would not be ready to cash out on
"I'm sorry." She apologized "I'm being selfish. I'm not thinking with my head right now."
"Safe to say I wasn't thinking with my right one." he joked, easing the tension. He leaned down and planted a sweet kiss on her lips "It's been a long day. I think it's time we call it a night." he said, touching his forehead to hers
"You kicking me out Barrett?" she chuckled
"Sad to say I am. The longer you're here, the more I think about changing my mind."
"Then I'd better go." She sighed, getting up. Locating her jeans, she stepped into them, smiling shyly when she noticed he hadn't taken his eyes off of her for a second.
He walked her to her front door and she turned to him with an apologetic look "I'm really sorry for leaving you like that." she said, referring to the obvious bulge in his jeans
"Nothing a cold shower can't fix."
She stood on her tip toes and kissed his stubbly cheek "Night Wade."
"Goodnight love."
