Nikki
I woke up in a pair of strong arms, my limp body being carried through the backstage area. I could hear ushered whispers, but my foggy mind couldn't work out a word anyone was saying. I could feel my eyelids getting heavy again and I tried to keep my eyes open, I tried so hard to fight the unconsciousness but it took over me, like a wave in the sea.

Drew
I carried Nikki through the arena, towards the exit. I had just got back with Julia when I saw Nikki bolting it out of medical, before collapsing into a heap on the floor. Samatha told me that she felt ill but I could tell there was something more and she told me to take Nikki to the hospital, that she'd sort it with Vince and that just made me worry.

Is there something more going on? First the freak out over the milkshake and now running out of medical, I just hope it's nothing too serious, nothing too bad because I can't lose Nikki. Not after the first time I've seen her in four years, not after I just found out we had a baby together.

I remember the day she told me, like it happened yesterday.

- Flashback -
Drew
Nikki walked into my hotel room, skin pale and shaking all over. We've been sleeping together for a month or two? I know she's married and we both know it's wrong, but we can't stop ourselves. One of us always finds our way into the others room, it just happens but I've never seen her look like this, not even after Carmella accidentally knocked her out during a match.

"Nik?" Her head snapped up and her breathing became frantic as she looked away from me. "Whatever it is, just talk to me." She placed both of her hands on the counter in-front of her, purposefully keeping her gaze away from mine. "Drew, I-I'm sorry I can't do this." She turned to leave and I just know I've got to stop her, so before she got out of my reach, I took her hand in mine pulling her to face me. "Nik please, I've never seen you like this. Please just talk to me, if Killian is giving you grief again then I'll talk to him." She looked up at me for the first time and I couldn't quite decipher the look in her eyes.

"This, me and you. We can't do it anymore, I shouldn't be cheating on Killian because that man loves me to death." She was sweating as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail. "But do you love him?" She turned her head away from me, throwing her head back to try and stop the tears from falling. "No, I don't. I love you, which is why this needs to stop." She turned back to face me, the tears she'd been holding back, rolling freely down her heartbroken face.

"There's something else you're not telling me Nik, please I'm not going to get mad I just want to know so I can make things better." Her lip was quivering as she looked down at the floor. "I'm pregnant and it's yours..." My eyes went wide and I couldn't help but gasp, that was the last thing I was expecting her to say. "I know it yours because me and Killian, we had sex once a few months back...but me and you, we've had sex after every raw and smackdown." I stepped forward and I wrapped my arms around her. "I wish it wasn't yours, I wish this baby was Killian's." She mumbled into my chest, her heavy tears already soaking into my shirt. "No you don't, come on Nikki." I started to draw shapes all over her back to try and calm how tense she is.

"I can't have your baby Drew, I just can't. It wouldn't be right..." She spoke heavily, burying her face deeper into my chest not wanting me to see her in this broken state. "I'm going to book an appointment and then this nightmare will be over and I can go. Me and Killian can go, leave the WWE, leave everything behind." I wanted to tell her 'no', that she wouldn't be happy with Killian and we could be a little family, the three of us but all that came out of my mouth was. "Okay, if it's what you really want." Her phone started to ring, so she answered it, pulling away from my warm embrace.

"Killian, darling I'm alright." She put him on speaker and she walked over to the bed, sitting down while crossing and uncrossing her legs awkwardly. "Are you pregnant? Because there's a pregnancy test with two lines on it." Her eyes grew wide and so did mine, I had to slap my hand over my mouth to stop me from saying anything. "Two lines? No, I took a test last week but there was only one line, it must have expired. I'm not pregnant, calm down." Her voice was surprisingly calm, but the fear remained on her face. "Because if you think you might be, the abortion clinic is only down the road so I can book an appointment." Nikki covered her face with her hands, taking a few deep breaths before responding to her fiancés inconsiderate remark. "I'm sure, I'm sure. You don't need to worry, I'll be home in a bit where we can talk some more." She went to hang up when Killian spoke again. "Where are you now?" There were twinges of anger in his voice, but I tried to ignore them knowing I have no right barging in on their relationship, even though Nikki is currently pregnant with my baby and she just told her husband there's no way she pregnant, no right at all.

"With Alexa, I'll be home soon. Don't worry, what's that Vince? H needs to see me! I'll be right there. Sorry babe gotta go, love you." She hung up, before tossing her phone across the room. "Run away with me." I blurted out, causing Nikki's head to snap up. "I can't. When I walk through that hotel door, I can promise you you'll never see me again. Drew whatever we have, or had...it's over. Killian is my priority now." She stood up, her whole body trembling as she walked towards the door. "Goodbye Drew." Bang, she'd gone and I couldn't help myself from collapsing onto the floor.

There were so many more things I wanted say, so much more convincing to do. I wanted to tell her that I love her, that I love the baby...that I want her and the baby but now I've lost them both. I could rip my hair out, scream this damn place down because of what I've lost, or given up? Killian doesn't treat her well enough, I want to treat her well enough but now I think I've lost the chance, she did promise she'll never comeback, I just hope she won't stick to that promise.

Nikki
I opened my eyes slowly, the lights above my head blinding me and a unusual weight on my legs. Panic took over as I tried to figure out where I was, leaning across to turn the lights on. My heart stopped when I realised I was in a hospital and in a hospital gown, which means somebody removed my clothes, somebody saw my body.

I look down the end of the bed and I see Drew, passed out, his long dark locks sprawled all over the blanket. "Drew, wake up." I spoke quietly but he started to stir, before complete opening his eyes and almost jumping when he saw me sat up in bed. "Nikki, the doctors they won't tell me anything." I took a deep breath, shutting my eyes for a moment to regain myself. "Before you ask, I'm okay, I don't need your help and I ate uh...cereal bar yesterday." Drew pulled his hair up into a man bun, stopping tying his hair when I spoke. "What? Nikki what's going on?"

Oh, he really didn't know...
