One Week Later

Fergal

I lost my NXT Championship last week to Karrion Kross. After losing my NXT Championship, I requested a couple of weeks off.

I am in Mexico with my friend Sierra. Sierra and I have been secretly dating while I am in the process of a divorce from Jaelyn.

I haven't told Jaelyn where I am because she doesn't need to know where I am. Before I went to Mexico, I got to see my kids.

I wanted to bring them to Mexico but if I told Jaelyn that I was going to Mexico with the twins, she would wonder if I'm back with Veronica.

I miss my kids so much. Hopefully I'll bring them to Mexico next year. I've been told that Jaelyn's been hanging out with Marcel while she and I are still married.

"Heads up," I hear Sierra yelling. Sierra jumps in the pool with me. She got rose back up to the surface.

"Hey, baby," I said, swimming to her. I go under the water, pulling her under. "Fergal!!" Sierra shrieks as I pull her down.

We kissed each other. She held me as we both rose to the surface while kissing. We broke the kiss, pushing our hair back.

"Thank you for inviting me to Mexico," Sierra said. "You're welcome. I'm glad you said yes," I said, smiling.

"Me too," she said. "There's another question I need you to say yes one more time," I said, looking at her.

"Are you proposing?" she asked. "No, I was wondering if you would love to be my girlfriend? I know my divorce isn't final but I can't wait anymore," I said.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend," she said. Sierra and I kissed each other. "How's Jaelyn gonna feel about this?" she asked.

"I don't care. She's too busy fucking Marcel," I said. "How do you know? Is there proof?" she asked.

"No but while we were broken up in fall 2019, she went on one date with him and they hooked up. According to her, Marcel was her rebound after I cheated on her with Veronica for six months and they didn't talk to each other until now," I said.

Sierra nodded. "I remember him calling her a whore on NXT tv and you kicked him down. It turned into an intergender brawl," she said.

"Yeah, it was added to the storyline to build up for me versus Walter at Takeover Ireland before it was postponed. I did have a match against Fabian and I kicked Marcel into the barricade for revenge after he grabbed her by her hair, pulling her off him. I was supposed to fight him for hurting her but he cowardly ran away and had Fabian fight me instead," I said.

"Oh I know. Such a coward in the storyline," she said. "That he is but now Jaelyn and Marcel are hanging out as friends, but I think it's something more," I said.

"Maybe he's being a good friend, helping her heart heal. She needs a good male friend, just like you have a good female friend like me," she said.

"True. It's okay to have friends," I said. Sierra nodded. "Let's stop talking about Marcel and Jaelyn. Let's just worry about us," she said.

I nodded. "I agree," I said, kissing her. Sierra and I continue to kiss each other. We kissed each other as we both went under the water.

Back in Florida

Jaelyn

It's been a week since Stand and Deliver and WrestleMania week. Fergal's no longer the NXT Champion.

He lost the NXT Championship to Karrion Kross. It's kind of Fergal's karma from when he's been lying and cheating me for our whole entire marriage.

Raquel's the new NXT Women's Champion defeating Io, MSK; Nash Carter and Wes Lee are the new NXT Tag Champions after Burch and Lorcan vacated them, Ember and Shotzi are still tag champions by defeating Candice and Indy, Walter is still the NXT UK Champion by defeating Tommasso Ciampa.

Fergal and I have a meeting with our lawyers to sign the divorce papers in a couple weeks. I'm ready to be finally divorced from Fergal.

My sisters, Brie and Nicole, finally got to give their speeches at the Hall of Fame because they didn't get to do it last year because of Covid.

I am so proud of my sisters, even though it's too early for them to be in the Hall of Fame. I'm glad that the whole Bella family got to be at the Hall of Fame, including myself.

I'm enjoying my time off from working and spending time with my kids. I am planning to sell mine and Fergal's house.

I've been trying to call Fergal. However, he hasn't been answering my calls and I am getting worried about him.

"Hi, it's Fergal. I'm not available. Leave a message and I'll get back to you," Fergal's voicemail. I hear a beep.

"Hey, Fergal. It's Jaelyn. Please call me when you get this. The twins miss you," I said, hanging up.

I hope Fergal's doing okay. He went through hell during his match against Karrion Kross. I sometimes wish I could've been out there to stop Scarlett.

I secretly liked it when Karrion Kross was beating up my soon-to-be ex-husband. I heard a knock on my door.

I went to answer the door. I see Bridgette. "Hi, Bridgette," I said, hugging her. Bryson waved at me as he drove off.

"Hi, Mommy," she said, hugging me. "How was school?" I asked. "Good. I got an A on my math test," she said, setting her backpack down.

She gets out her folder, giving it to me. I opened it, seeing her Math test. "Bridgette, great job. You are getting smart as Mommy," I said.

Bridgette nodded. "How's Daddy Fergal?" she asked. "I don't know. He hasn't called me back or returned my calls," I said.

"I hope he answers you soon, Mommy. I miss seeing him," she said. "I know. The twins miss their daddy as well," I said.

Bridgette nodded. "How was spending the weekend with your daddy?" I asked. "It was good. Daddy took me to WrestleMania 37 Night 1 to watch Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks. I jumped and cheered when Bianca defeated Sasha," she said, smiling.

"I'm glad you had fun at WrestleMania," I said. "And watching Auntie Brie and Auntie Coco beating up Bayley, throwing her down the ramp after she called my aunties Elmo and Titus saying Ding Dong Goodbye," she said.

"That's good. That's what Bayley gets for running her mouth about my aunties and other Hall of Famers," I said.

Bridgette nodded, smiling. "Where are the twins?" she asked. "Mommy!" Irelynd calls. "Let's go see what's wrong with Lyndi," I said.

Bridgette and I headed up to the twins' room. "Irelynd, are you okay?" I asked. "I want my daddy," Irelynd cried.

I got her out of bed, hugging her. "I miss daddy too," FJ said. "I'll try calling him again," I said, grabbing my phone.

It goes to voicemail. "Hi, Fergal. It's Jaelyn again," I said. "Hi, Daddy," the twins. "Hi, Daddy Fergal. It's Bridgette and the twins. Please call mommy's phone back, we miss hearing from you," Bridgette said.

"Hear that, Fergal, the kids miss you and want you to call me back. Please, they miss you," I said, ending the call.

Irelynd starts crying as Fergal didn't answer. "Don't do that, sweetie," I said, kissing her head. FJ walks over to Irelynd, hugging her.

"Awww, brother hugging his sissy," I said. Bridgette hugs them both. "Oh my kids," I said, holding them as they missed Fergal.

Another Week Later

I'm at the CWC for NXT. I got to see my friends again. I really missed seeing everyone. I don't have a match tonight.

I don't see Fergal here either. Heck, he hasn't been answering my calls or text messages. I hope he's doing okay.

I look over, seeing Marcel. He looks over at me, smiling. "Jaelyn," he said. I smiled, waving at him.

"It's been a couple of weeks since I saw you. Where have you been," he asked, hugging and spun me around.

I chuckled softly, holding him. "Busy with being a single mom, cleaning my house since I am selling my house," I said.

"Oh how come?" he asked. "Too many memories after Fergal's been cheating on me and lying to me during our whole marriage. So I am selling it for a fresh start," I said.

"That's good. I'm glad that you are doing a lot better now. So are you two divorced yet or still married?" he asked.

"We aren't divorced yet. We have to sign the papers next week with our lawyers. Once it's finalized, then I am a divorced woman," I said.

"That's good. You deserve way better than him," he said. "Thank you. So what are you doing after NXT?" he asked.

"Going home. Bridgette's babysitting the twins with her dad because I have not heard from Fergal for two weeks now," I said.

"Oh shit. Where do you think he's gone to?" he asked. "I don't know. I even called his parents if they saw him but Fergal hasn't called them back either," I said.

"Huh? Did he block you or something?" he asked. "If he blocked me, he wouldn't be able to call me about the kids. Everytime I call, it goes straight to voicemail," I said.

"That's weird. So what are you doing Saturday Night?" he asked. I shrugged. "I actually have no plans. Why?" I asked.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out again?" he asked. "Sure. Just as friends, right?" I asked.

"Right. Just as friends," he said. I nodded, smiling. "Sounds good," I said, smiling. Marcel smiled back at me.

"Marcel, we have a match," Fabian said. "Yeah, I'll be right there," Marcel said. "Okay, hello Jaelyn," Fabian said, waving at me.

"Hi, Fabian. Well good luck out there, Marcel. Even though you don't need it," I said. "Thank you, Jaelyn. I see you Saturday," he said, smiling.

Marcel walks away. I smiled back at him, stroking my hair. "I really missed seeing him. I swear he gets more handsome every time I see him," I thought to myself.

---

I am backstage, watching the tag match between Marcel and Fabian against Ever Rise. I noticed that Marcel has been losing weight and getting abs.

Fabian's in control of the match, doing a fall away slam to Chase Parker of Ever Rise. Fabian tags Marcel.

Marcel gets in the ring. The cameraman films me as I watch the match. I am looking on, playing with my hair.

(Vic: Looks like Jae Bella has her eyes on the match)

(Wade: Maybe she impressed with Imperium, mostly Marcel Barthel.)

Marcel gets Chase up by his neck, making him go face first into the middle turnbuckle. Marcel gets Chase Parker hung over the middle ropes.

Marcel tags Fabian back in. Fabian leaves the ring as they both do a running drop kick to Chase Parker in the corner.

Fabian gets back in the ring. Killian Dane comes down the ramp as Alexander Wolfe looks away, they have an argument.

Fabian and Marcel are distracted. Chase quickly rolls up Fabian. Fabian kicks out at two. Chase Parker throws rights at Fabian.

Fabian shoves Chase into the ropes. Chase bounces off as Fabian does a lariat to take Chase down. 

Fabian then kicks down Martel off the ring. Drake Maverick appears, punching Alexander in the face. 

Killian grabs Drake, carrying him away as Drake Maverick wants to fight. Fabian tags Marcel as Marcel hops on the middle ropes. 

Fabian gets Chase up. Marcel does an uppercut as Fabian does the powerbomb. Marcel covers Chase, putting his forearm over Chase's face for the win. 

The camera films me, smiling at Marcel.

(Beth: Ohh, my. Looks like Jae Bella loves it.)
(Vic: Jae Bella likes what she sees.)
(Wade: I think she's forgotten about Finn Balor and has her eyes on Barthel.)
