Gauntlet match: jinx vs Bianca

I stared down the stage as bianca made her way into the ring, I tried not to let the pressure get the better of me and without even realising I was now face to face with my opponent.

I was emotional. Bianca was a close friend of mine and she had helped me through a lot so it was hard to see her as an enemy. But what had to be done, had to be done, the ref rung the bell and this match was under weigh. I went for an immediate pin to get this over and done with but she obviously kicked out. I was tired and I felt terrible for demi having to do this so many times.

Bianca was now on offence and I was ready to give up, she had perched me on the top rope, ready to set me up for a superplex. She was punching my ribs to make sure I wouldn't stop her but one thing she didn't know was how strong my grip was. I held on to the rope for dear life and hooked my legs around each other so any attempt to lift me up would get stopped by my legs on the turnbuckle. She caught wind of this pretty quickly and pulled my legs apart before lifting me up, I needed to think of a solution, fast. Luckily my gymnast training played well in this game, I planted my feet when she pulled me over to the canvas and threw her into a KOD, she was out now for good so I hooked one leg into the air and planted her shoulders onto the canvas "1! 2!" The ref stopped counting, she had hooked her foot onto the ropes which forced me to break the pin. I was devastated, but I couldn't show that, so I grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to the centre of the ring. Once she was there I put her into my signature submission lock, she began to panic and struggled to break free until th managed to somehow shift her weight and stand up. I fell over and landed on my back, she pulled me up and kneed me multiple times until I was too weak to fight back and performed a DDT on me  I land on my neck weirdly and I felt the most pain surging through it. She pinned me and there was no way I could get a shoulder up in time so... I gave up. "1! 2! 3!" She let go of me and stood up, her excitement overwhelming her, she won, fair and square. She then realised that I still hadn't stood up, so she took the opportunity to show her respect to me, she grabbed my hand and pulled it into the air before hugging me "you did so good, I'm sorry" she was genuine with every word spoken "it's okay. You deserve it" I replied pulling away from her. I left the ring clutching my neck and headed to the locker room, I needed to get out of this gear.

I changed into some comfy clothing

And headed out to demi, who was just finishing up with Sarah interviewing her. She was still holding on to her ribs, she was in pain but she wouldn't say anything about it. "I'll drive." I told her "Y/N I'm fine I'll-" I took her keys from her hand and said "Yeah no. I'll drive!" Before running off, she chased me but I made it to the car first. "Get out the drivers seat!" She shouted, I just shook my head at her "too late I'm already buckled in" she rolled her eyes and climbed into the passenger side, she placed her bag in the backseat while I pulled out of the parking space. Her hand wandered over to my thigh just like normal, but this time I placed my hand on top of her hand, I still kept my focus on the road and my hand stayed glued to hers.

We got home pretty late so we knew the girls would be in bed and Shauna would have left, except when we opened the door, Shauna was fast asleep on the sofa with Amaya. We didn't want to disturb them so we left them there, placing Shauna's tip on the coffee table with a note next to it. "Go to bed Dem I'm just gonna check on Aspen." I said kissing my wife on the cheek, she nodded and headed to the bathroom while I went up to Aspen, I opened her door as quietly as possible, she was still awake and she was on her laptop. I stepped in to the room and saw what was on the screen 'I wanna be a boy.' I felt tears well up in my eyes, I wasn't mad or sad, I wanted her to tell me. "Asp-" she immediately shut her laptop but I shook my head "I already saw-" their face began to change, they wanted to cry "don't be mad-" "I'm not." I walked over and sat down next to my child. "I always wanted a boy." A smile grew on his face "really?" I laughed "of course. So, what name and pronouns?" He thought for a moment "pronouns, he/they, but mainly he. And I don't know about names" I looked at him and thought for a second  "Aiden?" He shook his head at me "Callum?" "No way!" I laughed a little at his reaction "Arlo?" He took a minute, "that's not too bad" "kade?" "No.." "Elliot?" He thought about it "I like that one." I gave another thought "Grayson or grey?" A smile flashed over his face, "I can't do that one." "Why?" He smiled "it's the same name that my best friend has" I laughed "okay... how about Benjamin, Ben for short" his smile grew a lot bigger "that one. Benjamin. What about school?" He looked at me and I hugged him "I'll sort it out. If anyone bullys you, tell me, okay?" He nodded, I held my pinkie out "promise?" He linked his pinkie with mine "promise." "Okay Ben. You want me tell Demi?" He nodded his head and I stood up "wait!" I turned back around "love you." I smiled at my son "I love you too. Goodnight. We'll take you shopping tomorrow, okay." I grinned and nodded before curling up in his bed.

I headed back to my room where demi was waiting for me "dem." I looked at my wife, She hummed at me "Aspen.. isn't a girl." She looked confused so I sat next to her and took a breath "he's trans." She looked shocked but it wasn't a bad thing "what's his name?" I smiled at her "Benjamin. Ben in short. He/they but mainly he" she nodded and cuddled into me "I'm gonna take him shopping tomorrow, get him comfortable, you coming?" She nodded "that'll be nice. Get the kids out for a bit." I could tell she was sleepy so I kissed her head "Go to sleep love. You're tired" I said, she laid her head on my chest and I stroked her hair until we both fell asleep.
