"You just want a divorce? After 3 years of marriage?" He couldn't even look at me as he nodded his head. "Nikki what did you expect, you told me that kid was mine...you made me believe that we had Julia together, but this whole time I was just raising another mans baby. Please just don't make this any harder than it needs to be and just sign the damn papers." I grabbed the pen, nervously flicking off the cap to scribble down my signature on the divorce papers. "I'll always love you Killian, even though you hate me..." He looked up at me, his eyes full of...regret? Hate? I don't know. "Look after Julia, goodbye Cross." He stood up from his chair, grabbing the papers from in front of me before walking away without saying another word, leaving the guilt to eat me alive that I'd just ruined our marriage.

3 months later...

I stepped into an arena for the first time in nearly 4 years, not long after my divorce I called Stephanie wondering if I could finally return to the ring and she accepted, before the end of the week I was signed to WWE again. For the past three months I've been training like mad to lose all the baby weight I still hadn't lost, after I had Julia I moulded into a much more motherly role, forgetting the fact I was a athlete to look after my little angel. It felt good being back in the gym, I was excited to finally get to an arena but now I'm actually here, I feel sick not wanting to go inside.

"Nikki?" I turned around and I saw Alexa, the minute she saw Julia on my hip she broke out into a beautiful smile. "I've missed you girly, heard you were making a return. Come on I'll help you with your bags, then you can properly introduce me to this little one." She grabbed one of my suitcases and pulled it into the arena, practically forcing me to step inside. "So?"

"Her name's Julia, she's a little over three years old. A proper angel she is, but I needed to come back. After the divorce I didn't need to be a housewife anymore, it was my chance to get back in the ring. I also needed a distraction, I loved Killian but he didn't love me back. Anyway enough about me, how have you been?" Her bright smile was back. "Good...really good! I got engaged to AJ recently and I'm on the best run of my career! They want to make me raw women's champion again and honestly I can't wait..." I smiled towards her but I felt my colour drain and the smile become completely wiped off my face when I saw him. Someone who didn't even cross my mind when I resigned to WWE, someone who I ruined my marriage with, someone I almost never wanted to see again.

"Nikki?" Concern was clear as day in her voice as I passed Julia to her. "I can't do this...I just need a minute.." I ran, ran until I reached the double doors bursting out of them to catch my breath. To regain control of my mind which seemed to be spiralling, I reached for my pack of cigarettes but then I remembered they were in my case and I just sighed. I took a deep inhale of breath as I heard the double doors open behind me. "Want a drag?" His thick Scottish accent was nothing I could ever forget and I felt myself begin to sweat, thinking about the times we'd spent together before. I turned around and the cigarette fell from his fingers and I heard him curse under his breath. "Drew..." I bit my lips and his eyes trailed up and down my body. "Nikki, sorry about your divorce." I could tell it was feigned sincerity, he doesn't mean that at all.

"Drew, I need to go." I began to walk towards the open double doors but I felt him grab my arm, pulling me in front of him and suddenly I'd never felt so small. "Are you alright? You just seem a little off?" I took a deep breath, catching his gaze as I looked up. "I'm fine, it's just been a while." I try to clear my mind but as I began to walk off I inhaled his scent and immediately my mind was clouded once more, wanting to turn around to slam my lips onto his but instead I just kept walking.

Finally I met back up with Alexa, who had now moved to the raw women's locker room. "Sorry, just got a little overwhelmed that's all." Alexa shrugged her shoulders, drawing on the floor with Julia. "I've got a meeting with Vince, so could you keep her? If not, I'll just bring her with me." Alexa looked up at me with a huge smile. "More time with this little angel, yes please!" She turned back to her drawing and I chucked as I slid my jacket off. "You're the best Lexi." She smirked as I heard towards the door. "I see nothings changed there."

I headed up to Vince's office, knocking nervously as I waited outside. "Come in!" I twisted the door handle and the door swung open, I stepped inside and I saw Drew already inside. I nervously sat down as Vince started to talk, soon zoning out but feeling my heart drop at the words "Tag team." I turned all my attention to Vince, praying I misheard him. "We need you two to be the next big thing! Drew after your loss at elimination chamber people are doubting you, Nikki you're returning after a 4 year absence so we need something that packs a punch. So Nikki, Drew you'll be feuding with Bray and Alexa which means from now on you'll travel together, stay at the same hotels, attend events and red carpets together. You'll be a tag team in and out of the ring!" Vince enthusiastically slid a contact in front of me, my palms started to sweat as he handed me a pen. I quickly wrote my signature on the paper needing to get out of that office.

I stood up from my chair, my head spinning as I ran out of the office having no idea Drew came after me as I ran away. I almost reached the end of the corridor when I felt a strong arm grab me, I knew just from the scent of his cologne it was Drew. "Nikki, what's going on? If you don't answer me, I'll call Killian and ask him." He spun me around to face him and I felt tears building in my eyes as I just looked at him. "Drew I...you know before I left, I found out I was pregnant...we were pregnant. I didn't get rid of it Drew, I had your baby." I watched his heart fall completely out of his chest and I couldn't even look at him as the tears fell down my face.

Suddenly I felt a soft kiss pressed to my cheek and I looked up at Drew. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but if I'm not too late could I meet our baby?" I lunged forward, throwing my arms around him, so unbearably glad that Drew was happy, that Drew wanted this. "Hey Nik you're killing me here!" I relapsed my tight grip on him but I still didn't let go. "I thought you'd be mad, like Killian was when I told him I was pregnant." He sighed softly and I felt my heart skip a beat. "I could never, it is you after all." I just stood in his embrace, using his shirt to wipe away my tears. "Oh how charming..." Drew chuckled as I broke away slightly, his arms still staying around me.

"Her name's Julia, got a proper Scottish accent and she kinda looks like you. Definitely got your eyes and maybe even your smile. Her full name is Julia May Mcintrye Cross, it says that on the brith certificate. I always wanted to tell you but I just didn't know how, you thought I'd got rid of it. God this is a mess? What are the press going to do when they find out, Drew I can't be slandered by them again...not after what happened back when I gave birth to Julia."

- Flashback -
I opened my phone and suddenly I saw pictures of me from the other day when I went to the shop. "Nikki Cross letting herself go after absence from WWE." The comments were filled with horrible horrible things and I just found myself sobbing into my phone as there was just hate comment after hate comment. "She's got fat." "She's ugly." "What a whore." "Surprised she can keep Killian looking like that." "No wonder WWE dropped her, talentless cow anyway." I tossed my phone across the room, hearing the crack of it as it hit the wall. I stood up from the bed, standing up to look at myself in the full length mirror. I felt sick as I pulled the clothes tight around my frame, I look horrific...they're right.

- End of Flashback -

"I won't let that happen, I promise. The media will have to go through me before they can get to you, I'll be your knight in shining armour." He smiled and my chest felt heavy as we reached the raw women's locker room. "Uh just stay here a minute, I'm just going to grab Julia." I stepped into the locker room and Alexa looked up at me with a smile on her face. "My meetings over, thank you for looking after her, it means a lot." She smiled somehow even brighter as she began to pick up the pens and pencils. "Anytime, she was a little angel. I could look after her during your match tonight if you want?" I nodded, helping her to shove all the pencils back into Julias little bag. "Yeah, I'll let you know. Right, we'll see you in a bit." Alexa got off the ground, giving Julia a little hug before I lifted her into my arms and out into the corridor. "Are you ready to meet your dad Pancake?" She just nodded, clapping her hands together and I felt my heart melt. Maybe me, Drew and Julia could be a little family? Just maybe...
