Kayla's POV

Later that week in Las Vegas.

The ceremony had just finished and we were walking out of the building. It was a little weird. None of his family was there, and neither was any of my adopted family. Colby and Rebecca was there though, as witnesses. I knew her of course but we never talked and now here she is at my wedding.

Colby is Colby. I don't know if he likes me or not. He's just always around when shit is going bad and Joe is stepping in to help. I wish I had met him under better circumstances because he's a good friend to Joe and I just would like to be treated like Joe's girlfriend, and not the bosses girlfriend, or the bosses ex girlfriend now. I understand why some of our coworkers feel the way they do, so I really can't be angry with them.

I was now Mrs. Anoai. If there wasn't drama before, I already know it's going to be worse, when Paul hears about this. He was finally coming around to actually marrying me and then everything went bad and the fact that it's Joe, he really is going to flip his shit. He's always disliked Joe for some reason and when all of this started, all it did was make him hate him more. I'm just so tired of all of this, I hope Joe's plan works because this is beginning to get out of hand and if Joe has anything to do with it, I'm going to be out of work for at least the next year. he just wants me to focus on the baby, be healthy, and stay stress-free.

I officially don't work for WWE anymore and I'm sure, Paul knows. He hasn't text or called yet but I'm sure he will. He could be waiting for me to show up tonight. I honestly think he thinks that all of this is a joke to him. I low-key can't wait to see his face when he finds out that Joe and I are married. Anything can happen, but I'm ready for it. I was so in love with Paul and at one point, I would've done anything for him but that ship has sailed and he can kiss my ass.

Joe lets go of my hand and puts his arm around me, kissing me on my cheek, "I'm happy." He whispers in my ear.

"Me too." I smile as we walk out of the building.

"How are you feeling? So you need to sit down or anything?" He asks

"No, I'm okay babe." I see a guy who's was taking pictures of us. "I saw that guy in the lobby earlier, before we went in." I point out the guy to Joe and he signals for the guy to come over to the four of us.

"What's up man? Are you some kind of paparazzi? Who do you work for?" Joe asks the guy.

"I don't work for anyone. I just happened to be here and saw you guys." He says

"Do you plan on selling those pictures? Be honest."

"Yes."

"Okay. Look, I don't care if you sell the pictures but I wanna offer you some kind of deal because I don't need these getting out before tomorrow. I'll pay."

"I'm listening." The guy says

"How does ten thousand sound? All you have to do it just wait to sell or release the pictures."

"Oh yeah! I can do that." He says

"So I have your word?" Joe asks

"Yes, you can trust me." The guy says. Joe looks at him for a minute, then smiles.

"I'm trusting you. Don't let me down." He says putting his hand out for the guy to shake it. They shake hands and they exchange info.

The guy leaves and the four of us start talking.

"Do you think he's going to keep his word?" Colby asks Joe.

"I hope so. The last thing we need right now is Paul finding out before we get to tell him." He shrugs his shoulders, "He seems like an honest guy. I just hope I'm right."

"I hope you are too." I say and Joe looks down at me.

"You want to sit down babe? Maybe we should go back to the hotel. We've been walking a lot today."

Colby looks at Joe like he's crazy.

"All we did was walk out of the building. Joe, calm down. You're treating her like she's a baby."

"I'm treating her like this for a reason." He says

"Why?"

"That's their business. Leave them alone." Becky says

"It's okay Becks, and I can't tell you right now. But she shouldn't be doing all this strenuous stuff." Joe says to Colby.

"Walking? Standing?" Colby says still looking at him crazy. He can't believe what he's hearing right now. It's kind of funny but he's serious, so I can't laugh in his face.

"Yes." Joe says

"If she can't stand or walk, then I don't know what she's gonna do with her life." He looks at me, "What's wrong with you now?"

I sigh, I don't want to tell him but I think I should. Joe and I made an agreement that we wouldn't tell anyone but he's a good friend of Joe's, it should be okay. Maybe it'll save me the dirty looks and nasty comments. "I'm—."

Joe cuts me off, "Tired....she's tired Colby. That's all." Joe looks at me, puzzled, "You know what, we're just gonna go back to the hotel for a while. Will see you guys at the venue in a couple of hours."

"Yeahs, whatever." Colby says shaking his head. He doesn't believe a word we're saying. He then puts his arm around Becky and they walk off.

"Thanks for coming!" I say to them but I don't think they heard me, or maybe they ignored me. Joe is making this man hate me. He already doesn't like me for whatever reason and Joe is just making everything worse. "Why don't you want to tell him?"

"Number one, because it's not his business and number two, what if you lose the baby?"

"I get your reasoning for not wanting to tell him but did you see the way he was looking at us? He completely hates me for this whole situation. He thinks I dragged you into all of this. I just don't want him to hate me."

"He doesn't hate you." He says

"Yes, he does." I say, "I just want friends whose as protective over me like they are over you."

"You do, you have me and that's all you need. I'm all you need." He says smiling.

"That can be a good thing, or a bad thing." I say

"It's a good thing." He says

We go back to our hotel and I took a nap. I was tired. Being pregnant is exhausting and being under Dr. Anoai's orders was exhausting in itself. He diagnosed me as a high risk pregnancy. My actual doctor didn't even do that. I get that he's only trying to take care of me and make sure everything is going well, but it's a lot. He's a lot. But it's also sweet at the same time.

A few hours had passed and I didn't even know I was asleep as long as I was. I woke up to Joe rubbing me head, to wake me up. It was now four pm and Joe had to be at the venue in thirty minutes.

"Come on babe, we have to get to the arena." Joe says, "So you want to go, or stay here?" He asks

"I'll go but you know I've been thinking... this shake-up is going to happen regardless if you like it or not and they're going to move you to SmackDown regardless if you like it or not, so why don't you just sign the contract and if I can't travel with you, it's okay, I'll just stay home." I say

Joe looks at me with a confused look on his face, "No. Why are you trying to change your mind now? I told you, we're going to continue to travel together and that's the end of it. I'm not gonna let this bitch separate us because he's bitter about you guys relationship."

"Yeah, I know babe, but I'm just tired of all this drama and back-and-forth." I say

"I am too but I'm going to win this." He says firmly.

"It's not about winning, Joe. It's about being smart. You know just as well as I know, Paul can do whatever he wants to do with your contract and honestly, it's not that bad that he just wants to move you to Smackdown. He could just put you on the shelf for the remainder of your contract. I've been thinking, and I don't think SmackDown is such a bad idea anymore."

"What are you talking about? SmackDown is a horrible idea. I've been on the red brand for forever, then you come along and all of a sudden he wants to change me over and wants to station you in Orlando. I don't think it's fair and he can't tell me is a business decision because I think it's pretty sketchy that this happens all of a sudden everything goes sour with you too and you're being seen with me. He's just going to have to get over it because I'm not going to Smackdown and if I do, you'll be with me."

"Okay, Joe. I don't want to fight with you. I'm on your side. I'm just trying to help you come to some type of conclusion with this whole thing because I only see this getting worse and honestly, I have a bad feeling that today, when we get to the arena, we're gonna walk into some shit."

"And if we do, I'll handle it. I Kayla, you don't have to worry about anything, I got us. All you have to do is sit there. I know you don't want anything to do with this just as much as I don't. Paul has made our lives hell for the past few months and just like you, I want to get this over with but I'm not gonna let him get what he wants and what he wants, is for us to be separated and I'm not having it. Just let me handle it, I don't want you to be stressed out about anything. Worry about my baby that you're caring." He says and I have no choice but to follow his lead. He told me to let him deal with the business side of things, so that's just what I'm gonna do.

"Okay, babe. I'm sorry to bring it up. I just want you to be okay."

"I'm fine. Everything I'm doing is for us now. For my wife and kid." He says kissing me on my forehead.

We both get up, get ourselves together and go to the venue.

Once we get there, we walk in hand-in-hand. I didn't really get the dirty looks that I was getting before because now, everyone knew Joe and I was together and they knew Paul and I weren't talking at all and will Paul and Joe getting into a physical fight, they knew all of our business. They didn't know everything that went on, but they knew the public's stuff. I think they actually applauded Joe for standing up to him.

We went through security, picked up the schedule for the night and we head towards his dressing room. Before we get there he receives a text from Paul.

Paul: Glad to know to showed up tonight! You and my princess, meet me in my office. Now.

Joe shows me the text and the only thing that's going through my mind is, here we go. I have a bad feeling about this and I really don't think it's going to go how Joe think it's going to go.

We sit out things down and go to his office. Once we get there, we could hear he was talking to someone. There were three voices. I couldn't make out what they were talking about but they were clearly there for us. This is bad.

Joe doesn't even bother to knock, he just walks into the office and when he does, he stops in his tracks.

Sorry it took so long the update.
