Maryse's cheeks were starting to hurt. They were literally hurting her from all of the laughter.

...Laughter caused by John Cena, by the way.

It was Sunday night and everyone was gathered in an arena for the latest PPV, No Way Out. Usually Maryse would be running around to talk to each of her co-workers. Especially the Raw superstars, since she rarely sees them since being a part of Smackdown.

But tonight that wasn't the case for the redhead. Instead of catching up with old friends, Maryse had been spending the PPV with John. Like she usually spent her days now.

The two of them really had grown closer in the past few weeks. They had been spending a lot of time together. Just as friends of course.

Anyone passing by though would have glanced at the giggling duo and instantly thought they were a couple.

I mean, the two WWE superstars were smiling from ear to ear as they took turns telling some random story. Laughing often followed. The two seemed awfully happy in their presence. It definitely seemed like there was something between them romantically.

Only there wasn't.

Well, nothing either of them were going to admit.

"Well, I have come to conclusions that this baby is definitely a Cena," Maryse giggled as she placed a hand on her growing stomach.

"Why do you say that?" John chuckled back with a big grin placed on his face.

"Because I swear they keep on slamming" Maryse explained but it only made John laugh harder. "I swear! they are doing like little Five Knuckle Shuffle and Attitude Adjustment all over my stomach."

"Ha-ha, wow I'm liking this twins more and more." John put his hand over hers, "that's my girl!" He beamed proudly.

The two of them shared a laugh together again. Once the joke had ended and the duo settled back into reality, Maryse realized how close their faces were. Just inches apart. Inches from his lips...

"Well, I better get going!" Maryse jumped out of her seat so she was far away from John.Much to his dismay, might I add. "I don't want to keep you from getting ready for you big championship match tonight."

"Nah, if anything you're just helping me stay relaxed for it." John replied.

Maryse couldn't help but to smile once again. "Oh, Johnny how is it that you always know how to make me smile?"

"I guess I'm just gifted." Was his reply, making Maryse playfully roll her eyes in the meantime. "And can you please stop calling me Johnny? It makes me sound like some 7 year old brunette boy who likes to secretly play with his sister's Teddy Bear's."

Maryse playfully rolled her eyes. "Hey for the record I have a blonde hair. Our daughter might too, ya' know."

"Yes but for the record you dye it."

"John I didn't and you weren't brunette before your blonde hello I see your baby pictures before ," Maryse said as John gave her an'Annoyed look. "Yeah Yeah your Right."

Maryse leaned in and they shared a hug. Each one of them smiling from ear to ear as they let go. "Well, I'll see you later... Johnny!" Maryse added in the last part quickly then laughed.

"Ha-ha, get out of here before someone hears you and then decides to call me that too."

John winked at her as they began to part ways. Each of them both did the cliché thing (stopped to look over their shoulder at one another). Maryse could just feel her cheeks blushing.

She was extremely happy lately. Mainly due to John. He just knew how to make her smile. This was something she hadn't done in awhile. She was happy. It was all just... perfect.

Yep, everything was perfect. Maryse didn't want anything to change.

But change has a way of just coming up from behind... so to speak.

Too bad Maryse wasn't looking behind her. Otherwise she would have seen her envious looking fiancé watching her...

~X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O~

Maryse, still with a huge smile on her face, made her way to the Divas locker room. Right before she opened the door she could hear a very familiar voice speaking loudly. "Mickie?" She asked herself.

"Oh my gosh, six more days, five more hours, 23 minutes and 7 seconds!"

Maryse looked around the Divas locker room she had just entered. There were barely any Divas in there. Odd since Eve Torres (or as Michelle and Layla  likes to calls her Eve Whorres) had often hung around in their parading her Diva's Championship.

It was only Kelly and Natalya  whom were sitting on the benches. Both Divas were reading a magazine, oblivious to everything else happening in the room.

Like Michelle. Who for some reason was mumbling things as she paced back and forth.

"Hey Chelle!" Maryse cheerfully greeted the Diva with a wave in her face. But that didn't stop Michelle.

"Oh my gosh, six more days, five hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds..."

The french gave up on trying to gain her friend's attention. She walked, more like waddled, over to Kelly and Natalya.

"Um... what's wrong with Chelle Cool over there?" Maryse whispered as she watched Mickie continue to ramble on as she paced back and forth in the spacious locker room.

"Oh, it just hit her that she's getting married in-"

"Six days, five hours, 22 minutes and 17 seconds!" Michelle finished the sentence for Kelly. That still didn't make the former Women's Champion stop though.

"Yeah, what she said." The blonde of the group nodded. Mickie finally stopped to give them a horrified look before she went back to pacing around the room.

"Basically she's just freaking out with how soon the day is approaching."Natalya playfully rolled her eyes as she flipped the page in her husband tyson kidd's magazine.

"Okay," Maryse slowly nodded her head as she began to understand the situation. "Wow, my friends are a bit on the crazy side."

"Hey, you would be going crazy too if you were me!" Kelly and Layla stopped what they were doing as they looked at Michelle in shock. After forty minutes she finally snapped out of her phase of counting down the time until her wedding to actually say something. "My wedding is in less than a week! It's too soon! Not everything is ready. My wedding dress is from Paris and still it hasn't arrived. Not everyone has RSVP. Oh and don't even get me started on that damn catering company! If I say I want one gigantic cake that is 5'8 which have 4 stacks  and a 4 stacks of chandelier cake  then you should make me a cake that's a gigantic  and chandelier with 8 flavors per stack Duh!"

"Michelle  , I'm sure everything will be fine." Maryse placed her hands on Michelle's shoulders trying to console her. "You will look stunning in your dress. Chris will be a handsome groom. You will get married. You love each other. That's all that matters; you and Chris. Don't worry about all of that stuff."

Michelle gave her a long cold stare, which Maryse was sure meant that none of that advice went through to Michelle's head. "That's only the beginning of my worries! What if you give birth on the day of the wedding? Then we will have an odd number of bridesmaids and groomsmen!"

Maryse scoffed at Michelle's silliness. "Chelle, I am five months pregnant. I have to be nine months to give birth. I think we'll be good."

"Okay good. But that wasn't my biggest fear. I have to worry about whether Kelly will do something stupid which will probably result in the cake falling or... or her spilling a champagne or wine on my dress!" Michelle whined as tears spilled down her face.

"I'll tell you what; I will be in charge of making sure Kelly doesn't do anything stupid on your big day."

"Promise?" Michelle sniffled.

"I promise."Maryse said

"Merci Maryse !," Michelle hugged the french blonde.She quickly wiped the tears away from her cheeks.

"You're welcome sweetie. Now see everything is okay. You don't have to make yourself go crazy." Maryse giggled.

"Hi people!" A loud voice was heard from someone entering the room. That only had to be from one person...

"Ahh, speaking of crazy..."Natalya whispered as Kelly made her presence known.

"Hi Smelly Kelly." Michelle mumbled towards Kelly as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"What's The Cool Cake's problem?" Kelly asked the other Divas.

"She's worried you're going to do something stupid, as usual, on her wedding day that will ruin everything." Natalya honestly replied without looking up from her magazine.

"Ugh, I will not! Maryse tell her, I haven't done anything stupid in awhile!"

"Um... actually Kelly," Maryse began to speak. "Don't you remember what happened yesterday in the gas station? You forgot I was pregnant and bought me a can of beer instead of the bottle of water that I had asked for."

"Rookie mistake. It could have happened to anyone."

"Sure. Whatever you say babe." Maryse patted her friend on the head making Kelly playfully stick her tongue out at her.

"Hey, back to the subject of Michelle's wedding; guess who asked me to be their date?" Kelly squealed as she jumped up and down in excitement.

"Who?"

"TED DiBiase!"

"Hallelujah! Finally! Now I can FINALLY be put out of my misery since you and Ted are together now!" Maryse clapped her hands as she sat down on the bench. "Wow, it's amazing. It's like I can hear birds chirping!"

It was pretty obvious that Maryse was excited. But could you blame her? Kelly has had a crush on Ted for MONTHS and Eve refused to make the first move. She was following him around like a lost puppy dog, while she dragged Maryse along with her. Making her come with to dinner on a double date or having her come with to North Carolina.

Things she didn't want to do (although they were fun, often because John was there. But Maryse wouldn't mention that) but Eve had forced her to. But now since Eve was with Matt she would finally be left alone! Thank god.

Maryse was started to plan an 'Kelly-will-leave-me-alone-now' party in her head when she noticed Eve staring back at her blankly. "What?" Maryse asked.

"I told him no." Kelly replied all so matter of factly.

Maryse jumped out of her chair in shock. "Why the hell would you do that?" She yelled at her best friend.

"Why the hell would I not do that?" Kelly yelled back in the same tone as Maryse.

"Barbara Joanne Blank !".Maryse yelled

"Okay fine," Kelly whined as she began to explain herself. "Well of course I wanted to say yes. I want to go with  to the wedding but I had to tell him no because that's just all part of my genius plan." Eve was greeted with silence and blank stares. She rolled her eyes again as she had to explain it further. "Rejecting him just makes him want me more. Believe me he's going to be begging me to go with him. He'll probably follow me around until I say yes." She stopped to giggle. "I'm so smart!" She bragged as she tapped her brain.

"Really?" Natalya grinned as she placed her magazine on the floor and leaned towards Kelly more. "Then how come I saw Ted talking to Maria  just minutes ago?"

"WHAT?" Kelly yelled, maybe even loud enough for the fans to hear as the latest match was taken place.

"Yeah and they were laughing... they're faces just inches apar—"

"That Red Head Diablo !" Kelly interrupted Natalya to scream. "Excuse me guys but I have to go find Ted and told him what I meant to say was yes!"

They watched in silence as Kelly frantically ran out of the room. It remained silent for a few minutes before Layla spoke up.

"Nattie I'm confused. I've been with you just about the whole day today and we never ran into Ted..."

"Oh I know." Natalya nodded before a huge smile overtook her face. "I made that whole thing up to make Kelly go crazy." She giggled. "Besides I kind of just helped her. Let's be honest her plan was stupid. Now she can just go be with Ted without all these little games."

Maryse squealed with delight. "I knew there was a reason why I loved you Nattie!"

Maryse and Natalya shared a high-five as Michelle cleared her throat to speak. "Um, speaking of love... how are things with you and Mike?"

"Fine," She quickly said. Then after a second she silently cursed at herself remembering she was supposed to meet up with him a little bit ago. She had forgotten all about it because she was with John. "Oh crap!"

"What's wrong?"

"Ugh, Mike's going to kill me." Maryse moaned as she ran a hand through her hair.

"Why now?" Michelle rolled her eyes.

Maryse ignored the irritation in Michelle's voice and explained. "Well we haven't spent much time in awhile together lately. You know since we're on different brands. Well anyway I was supposed to meet up with him a little bit ago but I forgot all about it... because I was with John."

"Oh," Natalya sat up with interest. "So you stood up your fiancé to be with another man. That is really interesting."

"I didn't stand him up... I just forgot." Maryse quickly defended herself. "And it's not just some random person, it was John."

"Honey, it would have been better if it was some random man. Not the guy you're having a baby with."

"But it's not like John and I were doing anything. We were just hanging out... like we usually do."

"Hmm." Michelle xchanged looks with Layla and Natalya.

"What?" Maryse asked.

"It's just, well Kell's been saying that you two have been spending a lot of time together lately..."

"What, so I'm not allowed to spend time with a friend?"

"But he's not just a friend, Maryse. Isn't he a bit more than that?" Layla asked.

"Well obviously since we're having a baby together an—"

"That's not what we mean. Isn't John becoming more than a friend to you?" Michelle cautiously asked as Maryse looked on confused. "Like aren't you starting to feel something for him? Without bringing the baby into this, there seems to be something more between you two..."

"Ugh." Maryse groaned as she finally understood where her friends were going with this conversation. "Not you guys too! Why does everyone think that there's more to John and I than just being friends?"

"Because you're together just about 24/7..."

"Because whenever you talk about one another both of your faces just light up..."

"Because every time you're near one another it looks like you're about to make out!"

"Layla !!!! " Maryse moaned as Layla innocently shrugged.

"What? I'm shocked you guys haven't kissed already. Well... not including that whole one night stand thing that created Renesmee and JayMike ."

"Oh god Layla! Not you too. I am now forbidding you to spend time with my sister Kelly!"

"I'm sorry," the young diva whined. "Kelly says it so much that it seems natural. But anyways if I were you I so would have kissed John by now. "

"Well... it's not like it hasn't happened yet..."

"What do you mean?" Michelle asked once she saw how Maryse looked guilty. "Have you guys kissed?"

"Nooo, we haven't kissed," Maryse stopped herself before she went on. The three Divas were anxiously waiting for to continue. She sighed and went on, "We almost did though."

"WHAT?"

"No way!"

"Oh Em Gee,Damn,Molly Holly."

"Kelly did you just like use a phonetic spelling of 'OMG'?"

"Yes she did. Go on," Michelle nodded towards Maryse. Clearly that was a normal thing for Kelly.

"Um, well remember when Kelly had dragged John and I to go on a double date with her and Ted?" She waited for them all to nod before she went on. "Well the two of us just walked back to the hotel together alone and... he was about to kiss me but then I pulled away because I thought of Mike."

"WHAT?"

"No way!"

"Oh em gee!"

"That wasn't the first time..."

"WHAT?"

"No way!"

"Oh em gee!"

"Yeah we almost kissed before I had that meeting with Vince a few months ago. But Kelly walked in and interrupted it from happening."

"WHAT?"

"No way!"

"Oh em gee!"

Maryse sighed, "I don't know what to do anymore."

"I do!" Natalya yelled as she gave Maryse an 'are you CRAZY?' look. "Kiss him! Kiss the crap out of him!"

"No, she can't do that!" Michelle, the wisest of the group said. "Does a name like Miz ring a bell?"

"See whenever John's about to kiss me I see his face, making me stop from doing so."

"Wow, well I'll tell you something," Layla stopped as she began to giggle. "That would be one hot threesome!"

Once again the group was forced into silence. Layla looked at each of them with a dumbfounded look.

"What?" Layla asked. "It would!"

"And there you have Layla's perverted moment of the day." Natalya shouted out.

"Okay let's get serious," Michelle said before Layla could say something unintelligible again. "Maryse, do you want to kiss John?"

"I have a fiancé." Maryse whispered as a sad look overtook her face. "I can't kiss John. I can't even think about John that way. I'm with Mike. I'm going to marry Mike. I'm friends with John. I'm going to have a baby with John. But that doesn't mean that I can be anything more with him. Because I am with someone else. That's the way it has to be."

"Why? Do you want to be something more with John I mean he's a great guy ?" Mickie asked.

Maryselet out a frustrated sigh. The questioning just wasn't going to end. "I'm with Mike." Was all she could whisper.

"That doesn't really answer the question. Do you have feelings for John?"

"John is a really good guy. He has been unbelievably supportive since he found out we were having a baby. But as far as having feelings for him... there's just no way that could happen because I'm with—"

"Mike, we get it we get it." Natalya mumbled. She, along with the others was getting annoyed with Maryse's reasoning. "Let's just say that you were single, and you weren't pregnant. Who would you want to be with at the end of the day? your Miko Mike... or John?"

"That's a stupid question because I am not single and I am pregnant."

"MARYSE !"

"Okay fine fine," Maryse took a second out of her bickering fit to think about it. Although Mike had been rude and inconsiderate to her lately, Maryse was positive it was because she was pregnant with John'a baby. This was understandable. She couldn't imagine being with someone who had gotten another girl pregnant. She respected him for standing by her side but still it seemed like he had lost all respect for her...

She missed what the two of them used to be. Believe it or not they were once this really strong couple. Way before all the times where they broke up then got back together again. Broke up again and then back and so forth, they were once madly in love with each other.

Maryse was positive that that love was still there... at least she hoped it was.

Then there was John. John Cena  who would never hurt her no matter what. Definitely not the way Miz did, with the entire belittling and tough love act he had been giving her lately. John wasn't like any other guy she had ever met. He was kind to her and put her needs first before his own.

He also made her smile. This in her life always seemed hard to do. Growing up her parents always seemed to never care that much about her. Sure she knew they loved her but it never felt like they wanted her to be there. Her whole life she always felt like she was worthless.

But for once she never had that feeling and that was all cause of John.

Sure John treated her better than her own fiancé. Sure she felt like she meant something in this world whenever she was around him but...Could she really base a future on just those qualities.

The Miz just seemed like the better way to go because he actually seemed like he had a game plan for life. Whereas John just took it one day at a time.

She couldn't help but to remember the time where she went to her first Doctor's appointment about her pregnancy. Where she meant another wrestler from TNA like her pregnant,Angelina Love. She was a complete stranger but yet she acted like she knew Maryse and knew what kind of situation she was in. She told her about how the father of her baby just left one day after he promised he'd help her.

She couldn't see John just walking away from her and their baby but still the thought had crossed her mind many times after meeting Angelina. She had also told Maryse that it's better to be married, to be in a committed relationship. That was the night that Mike had proposed to her... and she said yes because it seemed like that was the right thing to do. Well the right thing Angelina said.

Mike had a plan. He was going to marry her. He was going to help her raise the baby. Or so he said...

He hadn't brought any of that up lately. But still at least it was a plan.

While John, like she said, just took everything one day at a time. Which wasn't a bad thing, but it also wasn't a good thing.

Like could give her a future. Give her twins  a future. That is what Maryse had wanted. For her baby twins to have the best life that she could. While John, who said he'd be there, was like a mystery. He never really did talk about the future. And that sort of scared Maryse because what if one day he just got up and walked away, if things got tough.

Maryse couldn't help but sigh. Mike was a stable future. While John was just a good time; a nice person to have her in her life.

A guaranteed future or someone to make her feel special?

"Honestly," Maryse finally spoke up, the cracks in her voice very noticeable. "I don't know." She made eye contact with her three friends. Each of them giving her a tiny smile. "And that's what scares me the most." She whispered.

~X-O-X-O-X-O-X-O~

It had all been just one big blur.

After Maryse made her little revolution, the girls were forced to silence as some of the Divas had entered the locker room. That was fine because Maryse no longer wanted to further the conversation. But also because John's Championship match had started.

Now the match was over and everything was so...

Chaotic.

That is definitely the word Maryse would use to describe what was happening in front of her eyes.

The minute John's match was over she ran out of the locker room to find John.

...And Miz.

They were both the reason why everything was now chaotic. Because her damn fiancé just had to get involved in John's damn match. He had no reason to be out there since it was a Smackdown match and he was a part of Raw.

But that didn't stop him. He ran out to the ring and interfered in the match. Costing John his WWE Championship, allowing Kurt Angle to become the champion for another time.

After the match John looked so angry. She had never seen him like that. While John was angry, Miz looked thrilled. He had enjoyed every single second of that. He had left the ring before John could do anything. The pay-per-view had ended and the last thing she saw on the screen was John running to the backstage area.

Maryse had left the locker room then too as she wanted to find both of them. She was worried what the other one might do to the other. Both of them hated each other so there was no way to know for sure what they'd do which was why Maryse needed to find them right away to stop anything from happening.

As she turned down the hallway she could hear yelling. The voices were familiar, John Cena and The Miz 's. A mixture of relief and concern had overtaken her body. She was relieved that neither one of them had killed each other, yet. She was also concerned since they found each other before she could. Hopefully there was no damage...

Ugh. Hope sucks. Once they came into eye view, Maryse had noticed that Miz had a nice little shiner on his left eye. That was new. John and Miz were both held back by various wrestlers and crew members. Both of them were trying to wiggle free.

"You bastard," John screamed out as Miz chuckled. That only wanted to make John punch him again but that was no use as he was held back. "You are taking EVERYTHING away from me!"

Miz had seemed to like this comment. His face was now glowing as he spoke. "Oh really Cena? What else have I taken from you? Huh?" He grinned knowing where the conversation was going. He was even more thrilled as Maryse had now placed herself between them.

"Guys, please stop." Maryse said trying to sound as stern as possible. Each of her hands was placed on their chests as she tried to keep them apart. This really didn't help much since they were already pulled apart by their peers.

"Oh, this is just awesome. Here's Maryse now," Miz beamed. John's face went from angry to a softer bittersweet expression as he eyed Maryse. "Come on John ! What else have I taken from you? Say it! Say it Cena !."

John ignored Miz's psycho like demands. Instead he looked into Maryse's innocent hazel eyes. She was confused with the current situation. She just waited for John to say what her fiancé wanted him to say. Whatever that may be.

John  finally looked away from Maryse  bitterly and shook his head towards the wall.

Miz laughed in victory. "Oh wait, yeah that's right." It went dead silent as he took another second to laugh obnoxiously. "That was never yours to begin with. Was it?" John finally looked back at him and tried to lunge forward. He got a little closer than he did before but still was pulled back to his original place.

"Stop it!" Maryse tried to yell out. Her demands weren't taken. Instead the two WWE Superstars just eyed each other. Both of them wanted to pounce on one another any second. "What are you guys talking about?" Maryse cried. She knew why John  was angry since Miz had just taken his championship away from him but she was unsure what the latest argument was about.

What were they talking about? What was never John's to begin with? That comment from Miz had made John really angry and she was still confused as ever.

"Nothing." John spat out. Maryse got a shiver up and down her spine at John's tone. It was so bitter and so angry.

Maryse took turns on looking at each of them. Her confused looks she gave them were ignored.

"Yeah that's right." The smirk on Miz's face grew even bigger. "Nothing. That's what you are, John. Nothing."

"Mike, stop that right now!" Maryse yelled as if she was a mother disciplining her child. "Why did you cost John his match?"

"Isn't it obvious?" John  yelled making Maryse spun around from her fiancé to look at John.

"I'm not taking to you right now." She simply said. John was taken aback a bit at the way she just treated him. She went back to the smirking Miz. "Why did you do that?"

It took him a good long second before he opened his mouth. "See baby, if you didn't spend all day with this joke of a human being," Maryse jumped back as Jeff tried to grab him. No such luck. "Then you would have known that I was no longer apart of the Raw brand."

"WHAT?" Maryse and John both yelled out.

"Yep, you're now looking at the newest Smackdown superstar. I was just making my presence known. Basically giving John the message that I'm going to be here. So this little happy family that you two have been creating here can now end."

Maryse and John both looked at the ground. Maria swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Let me go," Miz said to the security holding him back. They weren't budging though. "Relax I'm not going to do anything to Cena. He isn't worth my time." After a little hesitation the men finally let him go. He smiled at John and then looked at Maryse . "Isn't this great? Now we get to spend time together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week baby." He looked behind Maryse to wink at John.

Maryse ran a hand through her hair. She was lost for words. Everything had now changed. It was just an hour ago where she was hanging out with John.Gloating to herself how everything was perfect. Not wanting anything to change...

"Um... yeah." Maryse mumbled; her back to John. "Just great..."

Miz  smiled wide when he grabbed Maryse and smothered her with a big hug. Good thing for him that Maryse was guided towards the other direction, so he couldn't see the exchange between him and John. As he held tightly onto her, running a hand through her hair he gave John a smirk. Then he mouthed the words to John..

"She's still mine."
