I watched Nikki walk out of the locker room with our little girl on her hip and my heart just melted, I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face as Nikki handed Julia to me. "This is your daddy Julia!" Her tiny hand grabbed onto my arm and she looked up at me with such curiosity. "Dada?" Her Scottish accent was thick and unbearably cute. "Yeah that's right, I'm your dada!" She giggled and I glanced up at Nikki who was looking at us both in awe. "Raw isn't for a bit, if you want to go grab a milkshake or something?" I asked and I heard Julia shouting 'yes' and I looked up at Nikki who was nodding with a smile on her face. "Oh go on then."
We walked out of the arena together, Nikki holding one of Julia's hands and I held the other. "Nik?" She was looking down at her feet as we walked. "You alright?" She just nodded but continued to look down at her feet as we finally found a milkshake shop. I lifted Julia as we walked into the shop. "So what one do you want Pancake? They've got chocolate or strawberry or vanilla?" Nikki asked from behind me and Julia's eyes went wide from the mention of chocolate. "Chocolate!"
"And you Nik?" She shrugged, taking Julia from my arms. "I'm not really thirsty, but get one for yourself if you want one." She walked Julia off to a little table built for three as I stepped up to the till. "What would you like sir?" I tore my eyes away from them both as I looked at the member of staff ahead of me. "Two chocolate milkshakes and one strawberry milkshake please!" He tapped it into the till. "That'll be 10 dollars please." I tapped my card on the machine and the payment went through. "Alright, take this to your table and we'll bring your drinks over once they're ready." I took over a little number, placing at the front of our table as I sat down.
"They'll be five minutes or so. Hope you don't mind." Julia pouted and Nikki just shrugged. "Eh pancake, they'll be here now. Try not to tip it down yourself like you did last time." Nikki grinned to herself, as she laughed about old memories. Hopefully a few years that'll be me, laughing about old memories with Julia and Nik, while hopefully making some new ones. "Two chocolates and one strawberry." The waiter placed the drinks down and I watched Nikki actively push hers away. Helping Julia to drink hers, sticking in a straw and making sure she didn't chuck it all down herself.
"Nik...you sure you're alright?" I whispered in her ear and she looked between me and the milkshake she hesitated before nodding but I wasn't buying any of it. "I'm here now, no matter what. So when you're ready you can come tell me what's wrong." I looked over at Julia, pulling silly faces at her as she polished off her milkshake. "Good job Ju, you destroyed that milkshake!" She giggled and I felt my heart warm up, sending a lovely feeling through my body. "I've got to go, look after Julia. I'll see you back at the arena." Nikki stood up and practically ran out of the milkshake parlour, leaving her phone behind. I couldn't help but reach it and pick it up. I typed in Nikki's birthday and it unlocked, I clicked onto her images hoping to find some cute ones of her and Julia but instead I was shocked to find tips on how to loose weight, skinny girls a lot of skinny girls and screenshots of what people had said about her when she was papped heading to the shops.
Damn, I need to go after her. "Come on Julia, we've got to go on an adventure back to the arena!" She hopped out of her seat, a big toothy grin on her face as I took her hand in mine. Something is going on with Nikki, something big and it's my responsibility to find out what, she is the mother to my child after all.
Nikki
I sat in the toilets at the arena trying not to be sick, I reached for my phone to text Alexa but it wasn't there and it made me feel even worse. I fell to my knees, my whole body shaking as I started to burn up. I grabbed my hair, tying it up in a loose bun to keep it out of my face as I heaved. After being sick I threw my head back, sinking down on to the cold tiles, shivering as I tried not to be sick again.
I heard a knock on my toilet door so I just flushed the toilet, standing up with legs that felt like jelly to open the door. My head was spinning as I twisted the lock and swung the door open, on the other side was Billie Kay and I felt myself falling forward into her arms. "Nik, god you look awful. Let's get you to the trainers room." She put my arm around her shoulder to support all my weight as we walked out of the bathroom. "How long have you been feeling this unwell?" She asked, her Australian accent thick making it hard for my clouded brain to understand her. "Not long..." I lied, I've been feeling this way for months but I don't need Billie worrying about me. "Perhaps you've just caught a bug from travelling." She knocked on the trainers door, leaning me against the wall as she explained to the doctor.
"Nikki Cross, come in. I'll check you out and then prescribe you something for the sickness." Samantha has been here the whole time I was in WWE, she was the one I found out I was pregnant 4 years ago. "You look like you've got a fever, anything else the matter other than sickness? Cramps? Cravings?" I shook my head. "I'm not pregnant, I haven't had sex in god...2 years? I'm just feeling a little under the weather that's all." Samatha wrote something down on her paper before looking back up at me. "Well I'd like to just check because Nik last time you told me this you were actually pregnant." I shook my head, not wanting an ultrasound. "Nikki, please I'm only doing this to make sure you're okay." I looked up at the ceiling before lifting my shirt up, I heard them both gasp and I could feel the tears building in my eyes. "When was the last time you ate something?" Billie asked from across the room and I couldn't take it anymore, practically throwing myself off the bed. Even though it felt like I was going to collapse, I ran out of there. Feeling disgusting in my own skin once more, I just ran until I crumbled and everything around me went black.
