Hello! Here is the first chapter of the sequel to my story High.
The story is set a year after the end of High.
I own my OC Roxy.
Roxy shuffled uncomfortably on the couch. She had a day off, which was unusual for her, but she was suffering with flu. She had felt awful for about a week now, with fever and nausea to contend with. She had been ordered to relax by her boyfriend of one year, Matt Korklan. He was known to WWE fans as Evan Bourne and she herself worked as an accountant for the company.
The sound of the door opening meant that Matt was home. The blonde craned her neck to see him walk into the room. He grinned, but followed that with a concerned frown. He sat down on the couch beside her.
"Still feeling rough?" he asked as he felt her forehead.
"Mm, I feel so tired." Roxy mumbled.
"I'm just going to have a shower." Matt smiled and kissed the top of her head.
The blonde lay across the couch, slightly bored that she hadn't been working. She reached into her bag and pulled out her diary. Flicking through the pages, a strange realisation hit her like a ton of bricks. Roxy frantically checked her diary for a couple of minutes, mentally doing the maths. She pulled her purse out of her bag and headed out of the door, wearing a red t-shirt and grey sweatpants with a pair of fluffy slippers.
Matt was immediately confused when he came out from his shower and realised that his girlfriend had gone missing. Before he could get too worried, the blonde rushed back in and locked herself in the bathroom. The high flyer frowned as he tried to work out what she was doing.
"Um, are you ok Rox?" he asked as he knocked on the bathroom door.
"Just give me a minute." She replied.
"Where did you go?" Matt asked her through the door.
"Out." Roxy replied.
"Yeah, I gathered that part." He chuckled.
When he had been to get dressed, his girlfriend had remained in the bathroom, which concerned him somewhat. The superstar walked back to the bathroom door and knocked again.
"Can I come in?" he asked.
There was silence until the sound of the door unlocking. Matt opened the door and walked in. Roxy was sitting cross-legged on the toilet seat and wearing an anxious expression. Matt squatted down in front of her.
"What's wrong?" he asked his girlfriend.
"It kind of makes sense, now that I think about it." she sighed quietly.
"What makes sense?" the high flyer asked.
"I think I know what's wrong with me." Roxy replied slowly.
"What, is it serious?" Matt asked her.
Roxy thought for a moment and handed him a box that she had been holding behind her back. He took it and scanned the writing, his eyes widening as he let out a sigh.
"Pregnancy test." He sighed again.
"Are you mad?" the blonde asked, her hazel eyes welling up with tears.
"No, of course not. Are you pregnant?" he asked her.
"I'll find out in a minute." Roxy replied.
Matt hugged her closer to him. She sighed quietly as the seconds ticked by in her mind. She had mixed feelings about this. In the next minute her life might change significantly. The accountant loved Matt with all her heart, but a baby would bring more issues. It reminded her of family, which wasn't something she had managed well in the past. Matt broke away from the hug as the blonde pulled the white wand from her pocket.
"Are you ready?" Matt asked her.
"No. Are you?" Roxy replied to him.
He only shrugged as she lifted the piece of plastic and examined the result. Matt anxiously darted his eyes from her to the test in her hand. Finally she looked up and spoke.
"You better be ready. I'm having your baby." Roxy let herself smile slightly.
"Really? Oh my God! I love you so much." Matt grinned and picked her up to hug her.
"I love you too." she smiled and met his lips in a kiss.
"This is amazing." Matt shook his head in disbelief.
"Yeah, it's um, a bit of a shock." Roxy sighed.
"I know it wasn't planned, but you are ok with this?" the high flyer asked her.
Roxy smiled and nodded as she computed the fact that she was having a baby, Matt's baby.
That night as she lay in her bed, Roxy couldn't get to sleep. Of course, Matt was fast asleep beside her. It must have been all the excitement of finding out that he was going to be a dad. The blonde looked down at her stomach and bit her lip nervously as she faced a dilemma. It had been a year since she had been effectively disowned by her father, known to WWE fans as JBL.
Yes, he could have gotten in touch any time he wanted to, but he hadn't. Part of Roxy felt guilty about the baby she was now carrying. Was it right to keep it from someone who was family?
She sighed and turned over to go to sleep. There would be plenty of time for that discussion.
This was a short chapter as you can see.
