A/N: New story that very randomly crossed my mind. I'm hoping it won't be too long, but we'll see. Enjoy. Review!


Positive. Positive. The test was positive.

"Fuck." She cursed.

In all of her shock, the test had slipped from between her fingers and clattered to the floor.

"Oh my god."

She nervously chewed on her thumbnail as she tried to figure out what to do next. Contact the father and break the news to him? Abort the pregnancy and never say a word about it? Go through the pregnancy, raise the baby, and never tell the father?

"What's the word?"

She looked up to see her long time friend standing in front of her. Confused, she looked around to find that she was no longer in the bathroom anymore. That's funny. She hadn't remembered walking out of the bathroom, much less getting all the way to the living room.

"Pregnant."

Kaitlyn's mouth hung open in shock.

"Close your mouth." Ava muttered.

"I just can't believe it." She finally said. "You, always the careful one, are pregnant. The one who would rather die than have kids before her career can take off."

"Thanks, Kaitlyn. You're a great friend!" Ava sarcastically smiled, then quickly frowned. "I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Maybe, tell the father." The blonde diva shrugged. "It's usually a good start."

"That thought crossed my mind." She sighed, plopping onto the couch. "A few others crossed my mind as well."

"Such as?" Kaitlyn questioned, sitting next to her friend.

"Abortion crossed my mind. Keeping the baby did as well." Ava admitted. "Both of those options included not telling the father."

"Not to sound old school and all, but I think this a decision for you and the father to make. Besides, why is abortion always the go to answer? Just have the baby and give it up for adoption."

Sitting forward, Ava cradled her hands under her chin. Her gaze focused on the wooden coffee table as she ventured into a far off place. A place where she wasn't pregnant and where her wrestling career wasn't seemingly put on hold so soon. Especially, before her call up to the main roster.

"Adoption isn't an easy thing." Ava spoke as if she were in a trance. "I would imagine having a person inside of you for nine months creates a bond with them. When that baby is born and when you see him for the first time, it seems as if your whole world is complete. Getting the chance to hold him or waiting for him to open his eyes so you can see the color is suddenly the most exciting thing in the world. Just as fast as you get that chance, there is a nurse standing nearby, ready to take the baby to his parents the agency lined up. As you watch the nurse walk off with your child, it feels like your heart is ripped out your chest. It feels like you're breathing your final breath before your entire world turns black around you."

"Adoption makes you feel like you've lost your entire purpose in life." Kaitlyn said after a few moments. "If you feel that way, then don't think of adoption."

"I hadn't." Ava closed her eyes and opened them again, seemingly coming back to the real world. "Not until you mentioned it."

"I don't see how aborting is going to make things any better."

"It isn't. But I don't know what else to do." The brunette cried. "I'm almost twenty-three years old. A baby is not what I need right now!"

"Don't panic." Kaitlyn threw her arm around Ava's shoulders. "There's always a way through everything. Okay? You clearly don't want to put the baby up for adoption and abortion is out as well."

"No, it isn't." She wiped away her tears. "I'm tucking it in my back pocket for now."

"I think you should stop tucking stuff in your body anymore. That's what got you pregnant."

Tilting her head to the side, Ava glared at her long time friend.

"Too soon?"

The pregnant brunette nodded her head.

"Sorry." She apologized. "Can I just make a suggestion?"

"Permission granted."

"At least talk to the father first. See what he says and how he feels, as well. If he agrees with you, then the two of you decide on what to do."

Ava snorted at the thought. Sure, the two of them agree on something. Hell had a better chance of freezing over. Besides, she absolutely refused to speak to him again.

"No. Absolutely not." Ava snapped, rising up from the couch. "I don't want any kind of opinion from him. His input isn't needed here."

Narrowing her eyes a bit, Kaitlyn scrunched her face up in confusion. Was there something she was missing? Never had she seen Ava so hell bent on avoiding somebody. Then a thought crossed her mind. Just who was the father of the baby? Ava had neglected to share that information with her.

"Out of curiosity, who is the father?" Kaitlyn rested her back against the couch.

"He's not important." Ava waved the subject off. "I'll figure out what to do on my own."

"Really? Because you go pregnant on your own?"

"Why is it the people always find the incessant need to bring up that point?" She asked, rubbing her temples. "Always some douche bag has to bring that up."

"Because it's true." Kaitlyn shrugged, getting up. "Who is he?"

"Nobody important." Ava was starting to get irritated now. "He was a drunken one night stand."

"If he's nobody important, then why are you getting so irritated?" Kaitlyn asked. "All you have to say is you don't know and leave it at that."

"I have left it at that, but you keep bringing it up." She pointed at her. "Stop bringing it up!"

"I only bring it up because I know you're lying. The sooner you tell me, the better off you will be."

"No, I won't be."

"That's what you think."

"Look, there is nothing else Roman Reigns can do for me." Ava slipped up.

Her eyes widened in shock. Ava had a one night stand with him. They absolutely despised each other and made it a point to make it known throughout the NXT locker room. The stories of their hatred had even made up to the main locker room. Hence why Ava hadn't been brought up yet. Well, with the baby on the way, it's not like she could anyway.

"What a coincidence. Roman is going to be at NXT tonight with Seth and Dean." Kaitlyn smiled. "Now is the perfect time to tell him."

"No, I have no reason to be going right now. It's not like I have a match or anything."

"Of course you don't have a match. You got suspended because of your fight with Summer."

"Good thing I got suspended." Ava rolled her eyes.

"You joke about that now, but when that baby is born healthy, you'll be happy." Kaitlyn all but yelled. "Get your ass ready. We're going to the taping."

"I can't be on the premises, remember?"

Kaitlyn shook her head. She had to admit, she was slightly amused with her antics. More so frustrated, but she had to admit, Ava trying to find a way out was pretty funny.

"You've got news to tell management." Kaitlyn smiled. "Get ready. We're leaving in ten."


At Kaitlyn's insistence, Ava had gone directly to management to tell them about her situation. As she expected, he frowned about her appearance. Due to her suspension, she wasn't allowed in. After explaining to him that she really needed to speak with him, Dusty begrudgingly gave her five minutes to speak.

"Well, I'm quite surprised." Dusty said after a few moments. "Despite your recent attitude we've been waiting for you to come back. We've been itching at the bits to have you and Paige team up for a while."

"It looks like those plans need to be put on hold." Ava sighed.

"You still plan on coming back after the baby is born?"

"I hope so." She casted her eyes downward. "I just found out about the news today. I'm not even sure what I'm going to do yet."

Dusty nodded his head. "Well, I'll be sure to notify Vince of what is going on. As soon as he figures something out, I'll give you call. I'll see if I can figure out a way for you to be temporarily written out."

"If you can't?" She asked, her voice filled with worry. "What will happen if you can't find anything to write me out?"

"You could potentially get released."

Blinking back her tears, Ava nodded her head. Rising to her feet, she leaned across the desk and shook Dusty's hand. "Thank you for seeing me today."

"Anytime, sweetheart." He smiled. "Congratulations. A baby is the best thing a person could have."

Ava looked at him for a second, wondering if he realized how his words had come out. It sounded as if he were making the baby out to be the new Iphone, the item just about everyone had to have.

"Thank you again."

After leaving Dusty's office, she headed straight for the ring area. Suddenly, the need to see the ring or just to be in it for a few moments came over her.

When she reached the ring, she stood in front of it, her hands running over the apron. So many times she had stepped up onto that apron and moved in between the ropes and each time she had taken it for granted. Anytime she was in there, she had become a different person. The jeers of the people in the crowd made her feel alive and she would feed off of that.

Stepping up on the apron, she moved in between the ropes and walked into the center of the ring. Resting her hands on her hips, she looked around the gymnasium that had become her second home.

"Out of the ring. We need it for practice."

Her eyes darkened when she saw who was coming down the ramp. It was because of him that she would temporarily lose all of this. If not temporarily, then probably permanently. It's not like she saw him giving a damn about her or the baby.

"Ava!" Seth exclaimed from behind Roman. "I didn't know you were back from suspension."

"Are you back to get into another fight for it to happen all over again?" Dean followed, a slight smile on his face. "Or are you going to try follow the rules?"

She waited until they got in the ring to answer them. Still glaring at Roman, she answered Dean. "I'm not back yet, per say. I just needed to talk to Dusty about something important."

"What's that?" Seth asked, throwing his arm around her shoulders. "What's more important than your suspension being lifted?"

"Believe me, you don't even want to know." She smiled, moving away from him. "I'll be seeing you boys."

Just as she got out of the ring, Kaitlyn showed up. Eyeing the ring, she made up a phony excuse that she needed Dean and Seth. Thus, forcing Ava to be left alone with Roman.

"Tell him." She whispered as Dean and Seth moved back up the ramp. "He won't bite you."

When the three of them were gone, she turned towards the ring. Her dark eyes focusing on Roman. He had taken to doing ring exercises until the boys returned.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" She asked, her hands tightening around the bottom rope.

"No." He grunted.

"It will only take a minute. Please?"

Something in the way her voice had broke had caused him to stop what he was doing. Moving over to the ropes, he leaned against them and looked down at her.

"What is it?"

"Do you mind getting out of the ring? I'm getting a neck ache looking up at you."

Rolling his eyes, he jumped out and stood next to her. "What is it?"

Her mouth had suddenly gone dry, making it impossible to utter a single syllable. Running her hands through her hair, she looked around the ring area, hoping to find something interesting to look at. Anything to help her calm down. Why had she let Kaitlyn convince her to tell him?

"Are you going to tell me or what?"

Ava nodded her head.

She moved so that she now stood in front of him. Tucking her hands in her pockets, she blew out and breath and finally turned her attention to him.

"Do you remember that night of Seth's party a couple of months ago?"

"Yes." He answered, folding his arms across his chest.

"So you remember us waking up in bed together the next morning?"

"We agreed to never talk about that night." Roman looked around to make sure no one was nearby. "It never happened, remember?"

"Believe me, if I could stick to that wonderful sentiment, I would." Ava snapped. "However, I can't. You see, the both of us have a little present from that night."

"That would be?" He was started to get annoyed with her.

"I'm pregnant."
