Colby and Taylin had long since traded their time together backstage before the show, for some extra time lounging around the hotel room together.
Today she was very relaxed, despite what she was heading to do.
As they arrived in the arena, Taylin's phone went off. Her relaxed stance changed right away.
"What is it?" Colby asked.
"Stephanie said she needs to see me."
"Ok, so what's the problem? That gives you a way to tell her." Colby said, not understanding why she was upset.
"I wanted to do it my way." Taylin huffed, getting out of the car.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Colby asked, grabbing their bags out of the trunk.
"No, I'll be ok. I'll find you after." She forced a smile, grabbing her files and heading in the opposite direction of Colby.
She tapped on the door, and heard Stephanie say to come in. Her heart almost stopped when she saw Kaitlyn sitting there.
"Hey, Steph. You needed to see me?"
"Yeah, thanks for coming so fast Tay." She smiled, she looked at Kaitlyn.
"Is that all?"
"Yeah, that's everything." She grinned, evilly.
"Ok, you can go." She watched as Kaitlyn got up and walked out, closing the door behind her.
Stephanie took a deep breath.
"So, some things have been brought to my attention about you that we need to talk about. Have a seat."
"Yeah, I can't imagine who would have brought anything to your attention." Taylin said, sitting down.
Stephanie pulled out a bunch of photos, and spread them across her desk.
"I told you I have eyes everywhere." She said, picking up one of the pictures.
"I'd say this one is my favorite." She tossed it towards Taylin. It was her in Colby's arms, his lips pressed to hers. The back ground was a hotel room.
"How did you get these?" Taylin asked, her fingers sliding over several of the pictures.
"I have my ways." Stephanie grinned.
"How long has this 'thing' between you two been going on?"
"We've been officially together for nine months." Taylin said, feeling that she might as well tell the truth.
"Ok, then what about this?" She asked, handing Taylin paper she had printed showing that she and Colby had obtained a marriage licence.
"I really don't know what you expect me to say." Taylin said.
"Are you married?"
"Yep." Taylin answered, not really caring of the just looked at her.
"I had all intentions of coming here and telling you everything today."
"Were you two seeing each other before I put you guys together in the storyline?"
"Yes." Taylin said.
"So I did all that for nothing?"
"What are you talking about?"
"God, Taylin. Everyone could see that there was something there between you two. I was just trying to push it along."
"By threatening to fire me?" Taylin asked.
"I never said you'd get fired. I said it was possible. It might result in termination, never that it would." Stephanie grinned.
Taylin sat there astonished. She didn't know what to say.
"With your uh, state, I think it may be best to pull you from tv soon."
"My state?" Taylin asked.
"Seriously Taylin? I've known you practically your entire life. I know how you are with your workouts. How far along are you?"
"14 weeks." Taylin said, absent mindedly letting her hand fall to her stomach.
"So, I'm not fired?"
"No. You're too good at what you do for me to let you go. Besides you and Rollins are cute together." Stephanie smiled.
"Put your rings on and get to work. It would seem that you need to get one of your divas under control."
"You're wearing your rings?" Colby said, catching Taylin as she was walking down the hall.
"What happened?"
Taylin grabbed his hand and pulled him to her office.
"It was insane." She said, pulling him to the couch.
"She actually seemed disappointed when she found out that we were seeing each other before she started the storyline."
"Huh?"
"I guess she was playing matchmaker. She said we look cute together."
"I can't argue with that." Colby laughed.
"She told me to put my rings on and get to work."
"So you told her everything? That we're married and have a baby on the way?"
"She already knew. She knew everything. She said I was too good at my job for her to let me go. But they would pull me from tv pretty soon."She smiled at him, as he leaned in to kiss her.
He pulled out the necklace his wedding band was on, and slipped it on his finger.
"Come on. We have some good news to spread." He smiled.
~Thank all of you who took your time to read my story, and for all of your kind words!~
~It means so much to me!~
